Wow. That sounds healthy…

22-year old Megan Fox swears drinking vinegar is the best way to cleanse the system and shed pounds, which she’s eager to do for “Transformers 2.” Megan says her sweet tooth often gets her in trouble and the vinegar plan is a quick remedy for added pounds.

“It’s just water and raw apple cider vinegar, and it just cleans out your system entirely.

“It will get rid of, for women who retain water weight, from your menstrual cycle and all that, it gets rid of it really fast.

“I’m not one for dieting or exercising, ’cause I’m lazy and I have a really big sweet tooth, so I have to do cleanses every once in a while ’cause of the amount of sugar I take in.”

“I take melatonin to sleep. But I also have lavender oil all over the house, and if you put that under your nose, on your forehead, and I put it over my heart - it’s just really relaxing. Something about that scent helps you to focus.”
We’re sure her doctor is THRILLED!

We’ve been hearing for months that things are less than perfect between Jamie Lynn Spears and Casey Aldridge – now his former girlfriend has come forward, saying she’d been sleeping with the teen throughout his relationship with Jamie Lynn.

28-year old Kelli Dawson says she first met Casey Aldridge in November of 2006 when he was just 17. She tells In Touch magazine, “We were both really attracted to each other. He totally instigated it and pursued me. His friends would tell me that he liked me, that he thought I was pretty.”

He’d already begun dating Jamie Lynn at the time. Kelli says she and Casey got together a few times and “kissed randomly,” adding that things got “hot and heavy” in November of 2007. JLS announced her pregnancy in December.

Kelli says she never took Casey’s relationship with Jamie Lynn seriously. “You never knew if they were broken up or not, because it changed from day to day!”

Not willing to let go of the 15 minutes that have come and gone, local Jason Alexander (Britney Spears’ first husband – for a few hours) adds his two cents: “Kelli and Casey have been a couple on and off for a few years. They were a really tight couple, but I think it was hard for Kelli, having Jamie Lynn in the picture.”

Kelli says she felt weird sleeping with Casey after Jamie Lynn announced her pregnancy, so the couple called it off a few months before Maddie was born.

“It just didn’t feel right,” says Kelli. “He had to deal with the baby coming, and it had to stop.”

According to Kelli, the last time she slept with Casey was in March but “even after we stopped having sex, we would still kiss occasionally.”

Kelli adds she still sees Casey regularly. “I see him all the time, at least once a week.”

Casey and Jamie Lynn are reportedly engaged but she’s bee putting off the wedding day for months. Can’t imagine why…

Well, what do you know…

It sounds like Britney Spears was able to pull of a fairly lucid and cogent interview in the upcoming issue of OK! magazine – a far cry from the last time she graced the pages of the magazine almost two years ago.

Asked if she’d like to see her two sons follow her footsteps into the family business, Britney says, “I’d rather not. But I’d love them unconditionally if they wanted to. I’d just as soon they have a more normal childhood.”

It might be a little elate for that. We’re just sayin’!

Britney’s father Jamie, meanwhile, has nothing but wonderful things to say about his former son-in-law Kevin Federline. “Kevin is all for everything. He wants her to have 50/50 custody. He wants them to raise these kids together. Kevin’s heart is right.”

Jamie, who has been in control of her estate since her meltdown and subsequent hospitalization earlier this year, says his relationship with Britney is better than it’s ever been.

“It’s wonderful. (The relationship) is new for both of us. She sometimes calls me 50 times a day and asks me things that light my life up. But like all daughters, she is very manipulative and cunning. So she gets what she wants a lot.”

And it’s with OK! magazine again! Remember last time? The troubled singer had a complete meltdown, walking around topless for no reason, wiping her greasy hands on the couture wardrobe and allowing her dog to befoul a Zac Posen gown. In a nutshell, the magazine’s editor described the whole interview and photo shoot as “a disaster.”

Brave or foolish, OK! is running a new interview in this week’s issue. Insiders report the sit-down went very well, with Britney answering questions almost like a normal person. Britney’s father Jamie, who has never spoken at length with the press, sat in on the interview and spoke about his daughter, her ex husband Kevin and their sons.

Meanwhile, Britney’s former hanger-on Sam Lufti is reportedly planning a tell-all book about his relationship with the pop star – during arguably the least stable point in her life. Star magazine claims Sam is willing to spill never-before-told stories about sex and drug use.

“Sam said he once dragged Britney out of cocaine party,” says a source. “She was doing so many lines, she didn’t even know where she was. She was stripping in the living room while doing lines with three guys who had sex on their minds.

“Sam also said that after Britney went to court for driving without a license and couldn’t drive her children around anymore, she went into a rage,” the source continues. “She broke almost every piece of glass in her home and said she wanted to cut herself.”

Come on, dude – this stuff isn’t salacious or titillating anymore, it’s just sad.

No one, reportedly!

Before his year-long romance of Sarah Larson, George Clooney dated British model Lisa Snowdon – and she says the experience ruined her social life! “I’ve been celibate for a year and starting to think I may never have sex again,” Lisa tells The Sun. “It’s not something I planned, but I just don’t get asked out any more.”

“Men seem to look at me and think, ‘She went out with George Clooney. What chance have I got?’” Lisa says.

George and Lisa met while appearing in a commercial together in 2000 and split in 2005 and Lisa says dating a Hollywood A-Lister wasn’t all the thought it would be. “The hardest thing is dealing with people who think I was going out with George to further my career. In fact, offers almost totally dried up. People assumed I wouldn’t be interested in modeling again.”

Overall, however, Lisa says it was a good experience, calling George a “good egg” who taught her “a lot about life.”

50-year old Bernie Mac, one of the “Original Kings of Comedy” passed away Saturday at a Chicago hospital due to complications from pneumonia. The actor and comedian had been hospitalized three weeks ago but reports last week had him responding well to treatment.

Family members say Bernie’s wife and daughter were with him for his last moments. Bernie’s sister-in-law tells People magazine, “He opened his eyes on his own and looked at [wife] Rhonda. She called his name, and he opened his eyes and nodded to her. She smiled at him and told him, ‘Don’t leave me … ‘I’m waiting for you to come back.’ He shrugged his shoulders, and she said that’s when she knew he was tired. He signaled to her that his body was tired.”

“What she (Rhonda) will treasure the most is the fact that she was his wife for 30 years – and not only was she his wife, but she was his best friend. She’s going to miss him dearly,” Mary Ann Grossett told People.

Bernie’s daughter says the family had expected Bernie to make a full recovery but realized she should brace herself for the unthinkable. “Initially when he was hospitalized we expected him to come back home, but as the weeks went on, I kind of knew,” Je’niece Childress told The Associated Press.

The “Ocean’s Eleven” star suffered from a condition called sarcoidosis, an inflammatory lung disease, but had been in remission since 2005. His publicist says the pneumonia was unrelated to Bernie’s other health issues.

Reaction to Bernie’s death began pouring out of Hollywood within hours of his passing. Costar George Clooney said: “The world just got a little less funny. He will be dearly missed.”

Brad Pitt expressed sympathy for Bernie’s family. “I lament the loss of a ferociously funny and hardcore family man. My thoughts are with Rhonda and their family. Bernie Mac, you are already missed.”

And “Soul Men” costar Samuel L. Jackson remarked, “It goes without saying that Bernie was one of the preeminent comedians of our generation.” Samuel L. Jackson had better schedule a doctor’s appointment ASAP.

A public memorial is planned for noon Aug. 16 at The House of Hope church in Chicago.

Wow. Camera lenses must have been cracking over the pressure of having to take in so many beautiful people at once.

George Clooney is spending his late summer cruising the Mediterranean with buddy Cindy Crawford… and her husband and kids.

Cindy is married to A-List club owner Rande Gerber and has two kids: daughter Presley, 8, and 6-year old son Kaia. He’s the one with the long, blonde hair she refuses to have cut!

It seems the adults have been friends for years and this is the second summer they’ve spent together. Not only does George provide excellent company, he’s also an expert grill master and occasional baby-sitter!

The group spent a few days cruising the French Riviera and taking in the night life in San Tropez before yachting off to buddy Bono’s residence nearby.

George is gearing up for the Venice Film Festival later this month where his latest film with Brad Pitt is to open the festival. “Burn After Reading” was directed by the Cohen Brothers.
