NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) -- How's this for overkill: in preparation for his kissing scene with Kate Hudson in "Almost Famous," actor Patrick Fugit ate two boxes of Altoids and brushed his teeth over and over. The 17-year-old star tells "USA Weekend" magazine he got rave reviews from Hudson after the kissing was over -- but he thinks she was probably lying. -- ST. JOHN'S, Antigua -- It sounds odd but some folks are actually betting on who will win the $500,000 prize on "Big Brother." According to the intertops.com, George is the 8/5 favorite to win the game while Curtis is a 5/1 longshot.
