Earlier this week a video by two Domino's Pizza employees showcasing the disgusting things they did to unsuspecting customers' food- and Tori Spelling's new book- exploded on the internet. Domino's has fired the employees, temporarily shut down the store they worked at, and released the following video statement from company president Patrick Doyle. Not sure any of it is going to help-

A Fox 11 spokesman took umbrage at FishbowlLA because we didn't explain that its dating program has seen rampant success in Chicago, Detroit, Orlando and Boston.

More than 25,000 people sent resumes and photos into the Phoenix outlet. Maybe they'll have the same response from L.A.

In its quest to scoop up all available and desirable properties, 20th Century Fox has picked a 9-year-old's pamphlet called "How to Talk to Girls," the Hollywood Reporter reports.

Alex Greven, who attends school in Castle Rock, Colorado, wrote "Girls" as a handwritten, $3 pamphlet sold at his school book fair; he wrote it after he noticed his peers were having some trouble talking to the ladies, though the book is geared for all ages.

Among the snippets of advice: Comb your hair and don't wear sweats; control your hyperness and cut down on sugar if necessary; a crush is like a love disease that can drive you mad; it is easy to spot pretty girls because they have big earrings, fancy dresses and all the jewelry but are like cars that need a lot of oil.

Maybe such pearls can attract the Farrelly brothers, who can bring it some R-rated if not X-rated attention. After all, they did it with "There's Something About Mary."

Now wouldn't that be nice for the kiddies?

NBC's new series "Lipstick Jungle," from the pen of urban chic Boswell Candace Bushnell, looked like it was getting dropped by NBC.

Only nine of 13 episoded made had aired and the ratings looked grim for the Brooke Shields nighttime NYC soaper. But the New York Times, always the benefactor of bedraggled TV shows it likes, reared its head today.

Fans of the skein have been sending lipsticks to NBC chairman Jeff Zucker. Not sure if it's working or if he's taking advantage of them in some cross-dressing tone. But it certainly represents loyal viewership. Sick as it might sound.

Peter Letterese's ongoing battle with the Church of Scientology and poster boy Tom Cruise is coming to a head with the allegations flying in both directions.

A Florida-based legal source, who loves to gossip about it, but is unwilling to reveal even his name, has this to say about the skirmish:

Federal Bankruptcy Judge John K. Olson in Florida seems to have "become a Scientologist," whether he knows it or not.

An appeal filed Thursday in Ft. Lauderdale Federal Bankruptcy Court says that Judge Olson has defied long-standing statutes and nearly a dozen precedents in federal bankruptcy decisions that ultimately help Scientology.

According to many who have managed to escape the controversial cult what Scientology "does" to people in an earlier era, would be referred to as hypnotic brainwashing. And, here Cruise and Scientology seem to have perfected how to do it to an otherwise trusted and respected Federal jurist through a Miami Law Firm, Adorno & Yoss.

From biting the heads off of bats in concert to hawking for Galpin Ford. It's a long downhill trajectory for Ozzie Osbourne. Ya gotta pay the rent.

The jury is still out on the Feline Butcher -- holistic health guru to such stars as Tom Cruise, Lisa Marie Presley and Queen Latifah -- who is facing 17 counts of practicing medicine without a license and one count of grand theft.

The jury's verdict could put Butcher's holistic health clinic out of business, but it could also put her behind bars. It would weigh heavily on the Church of Scientology, which is a big supporter of Butcher's anti-drug regimen for treatment. Butcher is an avowed high-ranking church member.

The trial for the faux practitioner came to a close Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court with numerous Scientology disciples present in the courtroom and the jury has been deliberating ever since.

Butcher, who has treated with holistic techniques other stars like Berry Gordy and Smokey Robinson, was investigated specifically by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Halt Authority Task Force in the case of photographer Clive McLean, who died in 2005.

Mclean's widow, Erica McLean, says that Butcher, being a Scientologist, encouraged her husband to abandon chemotherapy in favor of a regimen of "vitamins and magic drops."

McLean, who was assisted by private investigator Paul Barresi, claims that the couple paid close to $120,000 on useless treatments. Barresi was a friend to Clive McLean as well, having been photographed by McLean for Hustler Magazine. Barresi turned over a cache of information about Butcher to the Halt Authority Task Force.

The mayor of Batman, Turkey, is suing Christopher Nolan and Warner Bros., accusing The Dark Knight producers of using the city's name without permission.

According to Variety:

"The mayor is prepping a series of charges against Nolan and Warner Bros., which owns the right to the Batman character, including placing the blame for a number of unsolved murders and a high female suicide rate on the psychological impact that the film's success has had on the city's inhabitants.

Former natives of Batman are also said to have encountered obstacles when attempting to register their businesses abroad."

Batman has been around since 1939, why the lawsuit now? As Variety notes, "Undoubtedly the fact that Dark Knight is about to pass the $1 billion mark at the B.O. played a part in stirring the ire of the Turkish hamlet."

We're sure Bruce Wayne has pocket deep enough to make this thing go away.
