The Hastings Tribune says Peloton is defending themselves because Chris Noth's Mr. Big character dies of a heart attack in the new ''Sex and the City'' series after using a Peloton bike.
Peloton doctor Suzanne Steinbaum released a statement saying, "I'm sure 'SATC' fans, like me, are saddened by the news that Mr. Big dies of a heart attack. Mr. Big lived what many would call an extravagant lifestyle — including cocktails, cigars, and big steaks — and was at serious risk as he had a previous cardiac event in Season 6. These lifestyle choices and perhaps even his family history, which often is a significant factor, were the likely cause of his death. Riding his Peloton Bike may have even helped delay his cardiac event."
Radar Online says Britney Spears' fiance, Sam Asghari, is taking over as her manager. A source tells the website, “Sam is in charge. With her dad and the team he put in place gone there is no-one around but Sam. Sam is the boss, acting as her manager until a new one can be hired. Britney is a multi-million-dollar industry. When she was working in Vegas there were over 100 people working on her show. Any company that size needs someone in charge. Sam wants to be Britney’s husband not her manager but at least for the time being, he is all she has got. And after everything Britney has been through, he might be the only one she can ever trust."

Spider-Man star Tom Holland tells Variety magazine that he is going to take tap dancing lessons to play Fred Astaire in a new movie about the dancer's life. ''I guess I'm going to have to, you know, dust off the old tap shoes, go back to Pineapple Dance Studios, and I'll start taking some tap lessons. You know, I am quite a good tap dancer, it's something I've done for a very, very long time, so it's something I'm sure I'll be able to pick up. Fred Astaire does have a very particular style - you know, Billy Elliot was very much a kind of, like, scuffy-boot kind of tap dancer, whereas he is very elegant and graceful, so I'll probably have to learn how to do that. But it's something I'm going to practice, something I'm very excited for, and I think it'll be a fantastic film.''

The Daily Mail says the producers of James Bond and Amazon are allegedly feuding because Amazon owns the rights to the franchise and wants to turn 007 into a Marvel-like superhero. A source tells the newspaper, ''It's very early days but there are ideas being considered including looking at prequels based on Charlie Higson's book series Young Bond. These are set when the character is at Eton. There are even thoughts about whether other characters could appear elsewhere, but Eon are dead against it. They want to keep it purely as blockbuster cinema, which already makes huge amounts of money. Yet spin-offs could make it even more lucrative.''

I just like the cheese, And this is the weirdest thing ever, I know, but since childhood I’m like, the chips are kind of not my favorite thing. It’s the dust on it and so, if I ever have a little bag of it or whatever, I’ll lick them and I’ll put them in the trash.”

Dear Fonseca
My boyfriend and I got into an argument yesterday about whether or not a gift card is a good holiday gift. He plans to get me several for Christmas. I told him that as much as I like gift cards they are a cop-out during the holidays because they show no effort. He says I'm wrong and that they are great because I can buy whatever I want. Who's right... me or him?
