There’s a lesson here, ladies. Don’t get your man tattooed on your body in any way, shape or form. Between this and Jesse James’ face on Kat Von D’s stomach, I don’t understand why people keep doing this.

Eva Longoria once had the number “nine” tattooed on the back of her neck, which is the Basketball number of her now ex Tony Parker. Not quite as bad as his childhood photo on her stomach, but I’d want to get it removed, too.

One more day until we all get to stuff our faces with a ton of food. Then, we'll pass out on the couch, only to wake up and stuff ourselves some more. I've already got my stretchy pants on.

From family to food to friends, Thanksgiving is one of our favorite holidays. You show up to someone's house with a green bean casserole, and the return on your side dish investment is amazing.

Hollyscoop talked to the stars to see what they were doing for Thanksgiving, and while some of them are going traditional, others have some pretty unconventional plans. Check out what all these celebrities are doing for Thanksgiving.

Billy Bob Thornton told Hollyscoop: "We have a really traditional Thanksgiving just with the family at the house. We don’t do anything too wild, you know."

Snooki likes getting sh-t faced, and now, it's literal.

Nicole Snooki Polizzi appeared on Conan Wednesday night to talk about tattoos, life on the Jersey Shore, and…rubbing cat litter on her face.

Snooki shared the unusual beauty tip, saying, “Some exfoliates have rocks in them and it makes your skin really smooth, and cat litter is a good substitute."

But…it's also what cats put their poop in, though, Snooki. Someone needs to tell Snooki that cats poop in that stuff.

"I haven’t broke out at all yet!" Snooki says, regarding her pimples. Uh, probably because the zits are afraid of going anywhere near cat poop. There's cat poop in there.

If relationships aren’t hard enough, an overactive libido can make them even harder, no pun intended. While both men and women are obviously capable of cheating, statistically, 22% of men admitted to having sex outside of their marriage, while only 14% of women admitted to it. So let’s be real, the dong is a sensitive organ.

When they’re cheated on, some women choose to forgive the guy, some choose to forget about him. But almost all of them ask, “what’s wrong with me?” The answer is, nothing. The penis wants what the penis wants and it usually wants everything. And just to prove that theory, here are some famous women who have been cheated on, despite having it all.

Sienna Miller: She was in a high profile relationship with Jude Law when news broke that the Brit was cheating with the nanny. Law admitted to it, and Sienna chose to forgive, but eventually their relationship crumbled. Men love cheating with nannies. You can’t even hire an unattractive one and expect nothing to happen. She’ll pull a Mildred Baena on your ass.
Desperate Housewives might be on its way out, but Eva Longoria is nowhere close to filing for unemployment. Along with 30 Rock star Tina Fey, the actress is the highest paid woman on TV.

Both Eva and Tina raked in $13 million between May 2010 and 2011. That's $3 million more than the third runner up, Marcia Cross. This is all according to Forbes magazine. Gotta love how Forbes lets us know how much we're paying our celebs.

So yes, another Desparate Housewives star was next on the list. Marcia Cross made $10 million, along with Law & Order: Special Victims Unit actress Mariska Hargitay and CSI's Marg Helgenberger, who all made $10 million each. People love their crime shows.
Eva Longoria went on the Ellen DeGeneres Show to discuss her divorce from Tony Parker and talk about her "happy place."

"I'm in a really happy place," Longoria told Ellen. "And people keep saying I look younger!"

Well, you're also banging Penelope Cruz's hot brother, which 3 out of 4 scientists believe is the secret to looking young.

"Everybody was just pulling for you and hoping you'd be happy, because we love you so much," DeGeneres said. She then asked Eva what lessons she's learned from the split, which she announced in November 2010.

Living in Hollywood, you hear a ton of horror stories about working for celebs. You can’t look them in the eye, they only want purple M&Ms, and then they yell at you when you tell them there’s no such thing as a purple M&M.

But some celebs reach the top and still manage to keep one foot grounded in reality. Working for some celebrities can be awesome, as it should be. Especially when they decide to show their appreciation by sharing the wealth. Here are 5 stars who treated their crews.

Katy Perry: Back in June, while Katy Perry and her hard-working crew were on tour in Atlanta, they took over the Remede Spa at the St. Regis Hotel. Perry paid for all of them to have $225 customized facials and $240 aromatherapy massages. Hmm, I wonder if she would’ve noticed me walking in and telling the staff, “Err--I’m with Katy.”

Some celebs choose to keep their private lives private. Others choose to talk about their private life and their private parts. Remember when John Mayer discussed his sexual exploits? The only problem is, his women were usually famous and hot. Way to get blacklisted from celebrity sex, Mayer.

Less candid celebs sometimes just feel like sharing. Usually, it's in the presence of Howard Stern, the king of extracting celebrity sex secrets. And we love hearing all of them. If anything, it makes the rest of us feel a little more normal for having sex in the bathroom during a Blue Man Group show. Uh, I mean…here are the shocking celebrity sex secrets of some high-profile stars.

Zac Efron: His mom buys him condoms. Lots of condoms. Eeeeeeeewwwww. Zac says his mom saw pictures of him and Vanessa Hudgens in a sex store, and then she stuffed his Christmas stocking with condoms. "She buys me the economy box," Efron confessed.
