Remember those Playtex girdle TV commercials that promised to help women get rid of “unsightly bulges?”
The Big Cheese is thinking the time might be right to start marketing similar products for men, particularly actors, athletes and others who often find themselves the subjects of the paparazzi.
Take a look and identify the winners and losers of this “Battle of the Bulge.”

Swimsuit competition be-damned, as is frequently the case (are you listening Carrie Prejean?) the results of Howard Stern’s “Miss Tiger Woods” pageant came down to the Q&A session.
And among the Tiger Woods mistresses competing for the title, Jamie Jungers apparently gave the most detailed description of Tiger’s – shall we say – “magic wand,” thereby taking the crown.
Not to mention a giant check in the amount of $75,000.

A young Hollywood celebrity has been experiencing flu-like symptoms for a couple of days.
The star’s mother finds him in a weakened condition and calls 911.
Minutes later, he’s pronounced dead at a local hospital.
So ends the life of former teen heart-throb Corey Haim.
At his home, no illicit drugs were found, but investigators did find four prescription bottles.
With so many similarities to the death of Brittany Murphy, it sounds as though Hollywood history has eerily repeated itself.
LAPD have reported that Haim’s death was possibly the result of a drug overdose, with “no signs of foul play at this time.”
38-year-old Haim was best known for 80s films including “License to Drive” and “The Lost Boys,” and his reality show with friend and fellow former child actor Corey Feldman.

Erroneous reporting on the part of the folks over at TMZ has The Rat Pack’s fellow soldiers-in-cynicism over at tabloidbaby.com giving Harvey Levin a good old fashioned bitch-slapping.
Seems Harv’s merry little band of happy-go-lucky halfwits really screwed the pooch today by erroneously reporting — twice – that a former Bachelor contestant had a porno tape that was about to surface.
Some home fries to go with that egg on your face, Mr. Levin?

Michael Jackson’s tight-ass family members have just made it easier for Joe & Mary SixPack to make a pilgrimage to the King of Pop’s final resting place.
The Jackson clan has stopped paying for extra security guards at the Forest Lawn Glendale mausoleum where he’s entombed.
It’ll still be somewhat tricky, but creative fans can easily figure out a way to get inside the building that houses his marble tomb, and make a bee-line for his burial spot.
Even before this latest development, The Big Cheese and an accomplice were shifty enough to make it to MJ’s place of interment. Were it not for the guards hired by the Jackson family, Cheesy would have been able to post the very first pics of Jacko’s sarcophagus.
Rumor Rat will gladly offer online photo credit to the first person who’s successful in “breaking the code” (without breaking any laws) and getting some new close-up shots of the tomb.
Godspeed, Jackson fans.

Drew Carey’s fictional character from his self-titled sitcom can rest a little easier now.
The woman who played his comically nasty boss, Mrs. Louder, died late last week.
Nan Martin was 82 years old.
She appeared on…

If you’ve seen or heard a promo for Entertainment Tonight in the past couple of days, it will come as no shock to you that Mary Hart is “close friends” with grieving mother Marie Osmond.
“On the next E.T.,” the female announcer’s sexy but sympathtic voice purrs, “Mary Hart comforts Marie inside the funeral for her son!”
The Big Cheese nearly lost his lunch (a muenster cheese sandwich Nat & Al’s deli down the street) when he heard that one.
But that was nothing, compared to the minute-long online and on-camera funeral summary Hart gives from outside the church where the memorial service was held on Monday.

Sean Hayes, gives the camera his best butchest pose ever.
The latest cover story in The Advocate is the ultimate exercise in stating the obvious.
Sean Hayes, the actor who played Jack on “Will & Grace,” finally fesses up to the fact that he has no desire for vuh-jay-jay.
That’s right. That master of masculinity… that shining example of all things manly… is actually going on the record as being out of the closet.
Says Hayes to the Advocate interviewer: “I am who I am. I was never in, as they say. Never.”
To which a Rumor Rat source gives a one-word response: “Bullshit.”
According to our exclusive source, Hayes and his publicist made a point of prohibiting questions about his sexuality during at least one nationally televised appearance he and his fellow cast members made on a news interview show.
“With just minutes until the show was to start, Sean’s handler threw a wrench in the works in a big way, announcing to producers that [the host of the show] had to promise not to ask about Sean’s sexual orientation, otherwise Hayes would leave the studio and not do the interview.”
The show staff was mortified, according to The Rat’s source.

Photo-ops with Posh Spice aside, the biggest thing the press got from Betty White at one of last night’s Oscar parties, was a confirmation that she’ll be doing Saturday Night Live.
For weeks, fans have been mounting an internet campaign to get the 88-year-old Golden Girl a hosting gig on SNL, and it looks like it might have worked, although White wouldn’t spill any of the details of her upcoming appearance on the show.
Entertainment Weekly has reported that White might appear on a special “Women of Comedy” episode of the show, along with former cast members Molly Shannon, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.
