Debunking Justin and Selena's Rumored Break-up

The recent Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez break-up rumors have spread like wild fire. By now, whether you are team #beiber, #jelena, or even part of the #rihannanavy, you have heard both versions of Jelena's alleged split in the past week. The first version of the story is that JB reportedly sent Selena a heartless tweet which he immediately deleted! In the second version Selena kicks Biebs to the curb because he supposedly hooked up with Rihanna. Rihanna has recently been linked to every relevant rapper and baller, so even if he's now 18, Beibs hardly seems like her type. Let alone the fact that he and Chris are best buds and were just together on Sunday. The Rihanna rumor is plain ridiculous.

Knocked Up Snooki Ditching Shore House for Season 6

Jersey Shore fans brace yourself for a very different upcoming season.

Unless you have been living under a rock, you must know that everyone's favorite guidette, Nicole Polizzi, is expecting. Being the little trooper that she is, she has agreed to continue to be on the show. But do not expect to see knocked up Snooki in the club. As a matter of fact, she won't even be living in the shore house this season!

Yup, looks like little miss party girl cleaned the make-up from the night before out of her eyes and realized that the house she called home is not the most sanitary place to live, especially while carrying a child.

DAILY BITES Camp Nectar Juice Box shaped Fruit
Juice Boxes that Grow on Trees


Buying fruit juice at the supermarket can be a surprisingly complicated task. The "100% Juice" label is not as straightforward as it seems. Legally, it means that everything in the bottle came from a fruit or vegetable, but not necessarily the fruit of vegetable you think you're chuggin.

Well, this innovative juice box won't leave you wondering. Brazilian fruit juice company, Camp Nectar, hired ad agency AGE Isobar's to create a marketing campaign to underscore their all-natural products. Together, they came up with a concept to grow fruits in the shape of juice boxes.

Haute Off the Press: Versace Vixen for F/W ‘12

As we saw during February’s Fashion Week, Versace’s fall/winter 2012/2013 collection is filled with leather, studs, and fishnet stockings. The designs along with the harsh bang-lines and cat eye makeup made for a dark, rocker-chic show, and as far as their ad campaign goes, they have just bumped that ambiance up another couple of notches.
