Skinny Jeans Bad For Your Health?
Suffering for the sake of fashion is not an uncommon practice. Many people wear some painful threads and accessories simply for style. But the newest fashion risk is the skinny jean. Experts are finding that women (and men) who wear jeans that are too tight may risk suffering from a nerve problem called meralgia paresthetica. Tight jeans put pressure on the femoral cutaneous, a nerve that runs through the thigh, which can cause tingling and burning through the leg. Couple the skinny pant with high heels and you increase the risk. It has also been said that skinny jeans can cause infertility in men. No one is recommending that all ultra-tight pants should be thrown out and never worn again, it's just that maybe they should be worn in moderation.

True Blood in San Diego
This past weekend, Comi-Con filled the streets of Downtown, San Diego. In addition to all the crazy monsters and costumes, HBO's 'True Blood' party was held at Bondi on Fifth ave. HBO was bought out the entire venue and was providing free drinks for all of San Diego throughout the night! There was tons of die hard fans of the show in costume. All of Bondi's staff dressed in theme as vampires passed out viles of Sky Vodka mixed with a red blood juice. The same mixed cocktail was given out all night, along with custom 'True Blood' glassware to take home as a souvenirs. Free appetizers, T-shirts and the restaurant's famous Bondi Burgers were also thrown into the mix. The new TV series has become a hit and with all of HBO's food and beverage generosity, it will probably keep the ratings in SD pretty high!
Kim Kardashian & Reggie Bush Break Up!
Kim Kardashian and her boyfriend of two years, New Orleans Saints running back Reggie Bush, are going their separate ways, the reality star's rep confirms to PEOPLE. The pair, who recently returned from a charity trip to Africa with Kardashian's sister Khloe, just last May talked about "heading" toward marriage, but sources tell PEOPLE their relationship suffered from the time they spent apart – with yet another separation looming with the upcoming NFL season.
"They never get to see each other, ever," the source says. "It's been a long time coming. They still love each other and are part of their lives, but Reggie spends six months out of the year in New Orleans, so it's tough."
Kardashian, 28, the star of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, had been dating Bush, 24, since 2007. The couple were seen as the perfect Hollywood pair, stepping out on red carpets and posing for a GQ spread together.
"They were the cutest couple," another source tells PEOPLE. "They loved each other so much but they hardly saw each other. He starts his football training camp this week and she starts filming Keeping up with the Kardashians this week. They just need a break right now."

Nas To Pay $40K A Month To Kelis
A judge has ordered Nas to pay Kelis nearly $40,000 in monthly support for the near future, a day after the "Milkshake" singer gave birth to the divorcing couple's baby boy.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Louis Meisinger issued the order at a Thursday hearing. Neither Nas, whose full name is Nasir Jones, nor Kelis, whose full name is Kelis Rogers, attended Thursday's hearingRogers will receive $30,471 in spousal support per month; the couple's son will receive $9,027, according to the court records.
Rogers gave birth to the boy, named Knight, at a New York hospital Wednesday. The 29-year-old filed for divorce from the rapper in April. The couple was married in July 2003.
The two have been sparring over support payments for several months, with Rogers contending that Jones hasn't paid many of the costs of her pregnancy and her expenses. His attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, told the judge that the rapper has paid $30,000 in expenses and the former couple's health insurance has been maintA hearing on whether the payments should be altered will be heard on Sept. 8.Kaplan proposed paying Rogers a one-time payment of $20,000 until the judge could settle on an appropriate spousal and child support amount at a later hearing.
Meisinger rejected that offer, saying more money per month would be needed to accommodate Rogers' lifestyle and was warranted based on income declarations filed with the court.
Meisinger told Rogers' attorney, Laura Wasser, that the singer has 30 days to decide whether to return to the couple's Los Angeles home. Jones is paying to maintain the property in the meantime.
The judge also ordered Jones to pay $45,000 to pay Rogers' attorney fees and for a forensic accountant.
Wasser said Kelis is trying to secure a new record deal and hopes to begin recording new music soon. She said Rogers' income has dipped in recent months.
She went into labor on Monday, and delivered Knight Jones on Wednesday evening around 9 p.m., according to Rogers' publicist, Tracy Nguyen. The baby weighed 7 pounds, 8 ounces.
Kaplan said Jones arrived at the hospital about five minutes before his son was born. Nguyen said Rogers' mother and sister were in the hospital room for the birth.
"The beautiful baby boy and his mother are doing wonderful," Nguyen said in a statement.
It is rumored that Kelis Slept with Ruff Ryder exile Infared. Allegedly he had sex with her while talking dirty about Nas and filmed his penis in her mouth.

Selling Out Is The New Keeping it Real
"Selling out" refers to the compromising of one's integrity, morality and principles in exchange for money, success, or other personal gain.
Cleveland Cavalier LeBron James has taken a turn for the worst lately, and is starting to create a sort of negative persona about himself. First he refrained from shaking hands with Olympic teammate Dwight Howard after his loss in the 2009 Eastern Conference Finals. After that same game LeBron refused to give a mandatory post game interview. Its understandable being angry after losing a playoff series, but sometimes you have to man-up! After all of this, Lebron began to earn the reputation of a common crybaby.
Then came the infamous “Check my $tats” and “LBJ/MVP” t-shirts. LeBron originally came into the NBA as clearly one of the more humble players. Given his superior ability on the basketball court one would assume that he had an enormous ego, but he has been quite the contrary throughout his career. Him wearing these shirts is a complete curveball, and a confusing one at that. Michael Jordan wouldn’t be caught dead wearing a shirts similar to these.
Then finally, a Xavier college student dunks on LeBron James during a pick-up game at his own summer camp. Of course getting dunked on is part of basketball no big deal, but LeBron took it a step further and had all video rolling at the time confiscated by Nike representatives never to be seen to the outside world. Has LeBron turned into a bigger Diva then Mariah Carey? Im not sure what is wrong, but LeBron James has been a constant Sell Out recently. He should consider returning to his roots, and focusing on becoming the best that the game of basketball has seen, instead of the NBA version of Kanye West.
