Daphne Dortch Eats 1,800 Calories on The Biggest Loser
Originally posted 02/22/2012 07:30AM
Buddy's birthday celebration went a little differently than he probably expected but with this week's excuse of "I lack self control," we had to have another temptation on The Biggest Loser.
Clearly in this week's temptation, everyone had a plan – some contestants wanted to have the power and others to maintain self-control. In the end, Daphne ate more than 1,800 calories for the power but then her only switch was Conda and Jeremy.
Were you surprised by her moves? What did you think about how everyone in the house handled the changes?

Justin Theroux: Jennifer Aniston Made Me Breakdance for Her Birthday
Originally posted 02/22/2012 03:00PM
Having recently celebrated her 43rd birthday, Jennifer Aniston had but one wish from boyfriend Justin Theroux – and it involved his hitting the floor ... and spinning.
"Ever since she saw Zoolander, she's been obsessed with making me breakdance," Theroux, 40, told Ellen DeGeneres for Wednesday's The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
To get out of dancing on command, Theroux said, he started insisting that to do the deed he needed to be wearing specific foot gear.
"I have a very particular pair shoes which I breakdance in," Theroux told DeGeneres, adding, "If I don't have my breakin' shoes, I don't breakdance."

Star Jones Returns to The View, Recalls 'Ugly' Departure
Originally posted 02/22/2012 01:10PM
Star Jones returned to The View Wednesday – her first visit to the ABC talk show since her much talked-about departure in June 2006.
"It was ugly. Everything. It was a bad emotional time. Nasty things were being said in the media," Jones said after her former boss, Barbara Walters, insisted on discussing her exit, when the host abruptly announced she was leaving on the air, then revealed she had been fired by the show.
"I wanted to go out on my own terms so that if I walked back here I'd feel good about it," Jones continued. "I had eight fantastic years here. One was 'eh.' I came back to congratulate you on all you accomplished. I hope you congratulate me on what I accomplished."

Ben Affleck and wife Jennifer Garner have Baby No. 3 on the way any day now – but that's not the only project on Affleck's mind.
The actor, 39, founded the Eastern Congo Initiative in 2010 and recently got back from his eighth trip to the war-torn region. Affleck says it's his kids, Violet, 6 and Seraphina, 3, who inspire him to do good in the world.
"I got to a point in my life where I felt like I had been very fortunate," Affleck tells PEOPLE in an interview for the Feb. 27 issue, on newsstands now. "And I wanted to do something more with my life than just make movies and try to make money. I wanted to do something that was important to me in other ways and would serve as an example to my kids."
