Celebrity Spotlight
DIERKS BENTLEY STARTS OFF NEW YEAR WITH ANNUAL DIP. Dierks Bentley spent New Year's Day taking his annual dip in the frigid water's of Nashville's Percy Priest lake. It's a ritual he started several years ago and began filming two years ago. "When it reaches and starts crawling up your board shorts and hits the mid section, it's definitely game on. There's no backing down now. The coldest spot for me actually was my feet. I went in there barefoot and I was in my truck with the heater on high with like the air coming out of the bottom for like ten minutes trying to get movement back in my toes." Dierks' band mates chickened out of partaking in the winter swim but he says they will have to make up for it this spring while they're on tour.

This Is Nuts
The new Republican House plans to waste no time in setting a new austerity theme and undoing as much of the last two years as possible. They've already written a bill to repeal the entire 2,500-page Obamacare bill. It's just two pages long, including the title page.
* And yet, 90 percent of Congress members will vote on it without reading it.
HEALTH MOMENT
People with a family history of alcoholism may be turning to high-calorie treats instead of booze to satisfy their addiction, researchers say, a change that could be fueling the obesity epidemic.
Because alcohol and bingeing on junk foods stimulate the same parts of the brain, it may be that people with a predisposition to alcoholism are replacing alcohol with junk foods, says the team from Washington University in St. Louis.
This is especially true for women, they report.
Much of what we eat nowadays contains more calories than the food we ate in the 1970s and 1980s but it also contains the sorts of calories -- particularly a combination of sugar, salt and fat -- that appeal to what are commonly called the reward centers in the brain.
Alcohol and drugs affect those same parts of the brain and the thinking is because the same brain structures are being stimulated, overconsumption of those foods might be greater in people with a predisposition to addiction.
The study is part of a body of growing evidence for a link between alcohol abuse and obesity, particularly for women.
The alcoholism-overeating link might help explain rising obesity in the United States, which has doubled from 15 percent of the population in the late 1970s to 33 percent in 2004.
BREAK TIME CHATTER
Late Saturday night, police in Farmington, New Mexico, arrested 19-year-old Ray Larson on burglary and other charges after a homeowner reported that Larson stripped completely naked, climbed a six-foot fence, smashed a glass door and entered his home. But Larson had a good excuse: he said he was tripping on LSD and thought he was God.
* Nice to know the 1960s are still alive and well in New Mexico.
And I leave you with this thought.
"The greatest revolution in our generation is that of human beings, who by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives."
