HeyDidYaKnow that Clay Aiken is gay?  Yeah, we did too.  He just formally announced it yesterday.  Ho-hum.  In more surprising news, the presence of westernized (fast) food shops has grossly affected the health of citizens in the famously healthy northern Mediterranean countries  where they traditionally dieted on fresh fish, vegetables, and low fat olive oil.  Especially within Greece, where people regularly lived to and past 100, where they had trim waist lines, where they had substantially lower cases of heart disease, diabetes and cancer than other western countries, they are now facing an obesity epidemic.  According to a UN study, reports of overweight 12 year old boys rose 200% from 1982 to 2002.  It has also been found that one in four children in Greece now have Cholesterol problems.

HeyDidYaKnow TMZ posted a great pic of Billy Ray Cyrus showing just how important it is for fathers to keep their daughters away from this poser-lech. Maybe, if Billy Ray watched this video before having Miley, we wouldn’t have to see another picture of a tired middle aged man desperately clinging on to relevancy by leeching off his daughter’s cataclysmic career. (seriously, watch this hysterical video)

And can you believe that there are approximately 450,000,000 Indians under the age of 18! That’s one and a half times more than the entire US population.

HeyDidYaKnow that after the “poke-their-noses-where-they-don’t-belong”-razzi snapped some photos of J-Love looking less than in peak form, she apparently went on an uber-diet and chucked about 18 pounds… she just went and flushed them right down the toilet… she threw up her arms and said no more… she heaved those pounds away… you get the point. On a national level, Bulimia is reported to affect about 3% of the nation. That might not seem like much, but that is around 900,000 people.

HeyDidYaKnow that outside of the US, England provides us with the 2nd most visitors. So in your honor, here’s some news for ya: we’ve never been compelled to filet british taste; especially when it comes to fashion. However, in a move that is sure to make the more fabulous less likely to indulge, E News is reporting that the posh Harvey Nichols is now using these two clay-mates, Wallace and Gromit for the uneducated, to pimp their wares in a new ad campaign. In further English news, a study comparing eight European countries shows that England, and more specifically Manchester, has the highest rate of “self-harm” of all countries studied; showing that about 962 of every 100,000 Mancunians have been admitted to admitted to a hospital for inflicting self-harm.

Update: The study also shows that one of the primary reason for this sad statistic is concern over sexual orientation as we previously showed here. It is sad and terrible statistic.

HeyDidYaKnow that generational mouthpiece Heidi from the Hills had an interview recently with Chicago’s Sun Times; therein she dropped some gems on us like: “There were rumors about a sex tape, but I had nothing to do with that. God knows the truth in all of this, and at the end of the day, that is the only thing that matters. Jesus was persecuted, and I’m going to get persecuted, ya know?“ We know, we know. So, just to make sure you all are clear, as per Wikipedia, a Douche Bag is “a piece of equipment for douching: a bag for holding the water or fluid used in douching” but one should note, “to avoid transferring intestinal bacteria into the vagina, the same bag must not be used for a vaginal douche and an enema“. Oh yeah, and as you all might have guessed “Douche bag, or simply douche, is considered to be a pejorative term in Australia, the Philippines, Ireland, the United States, Canada and New Zealand. The slang usage of the term dates back to the 1960s. The metaphor of identifying a person as a douche is intended to associate a variety of negative qualities, specifically arrogance and malice.”

Update: Hey Did Ya Know we were right… we warned all of you about this self-indulgent idol worship on our previous post about Lauren Conrad.

HeyDidYaKnow everybody’s favorite fat funny foreman, Craig Robinson came up on the wrong side of the law. Craig Robinson was arrested on suspicion of posession of MDMA. And, for your personal edification, the estimated cost of making meth is $100 an ounce, with a street value of $800 an ounce. While cheap for the people who make it, meth is costly for taxpayers. The OSBI estimates that it costs an average of $2,000 to clean up a lab. Many law enforcement agencies including the OSBI contract out for cleaning services. The OSBI spent $1 million on cleaning services each year.

HeyDidYaKnow all ya’ll disco kids that big-on-talent mini-me has dropped some legal thunder on his tryst-worthy ex for selling their little moment of intimacy. Let’s all hope that they were safe, because the CDC has just reported that there were 56000 new cases of HIV in America last year. So, big or small, be safe out there ya’ll.

HeyDidYaKnow that pint-sized power producer Jermaine “no-roller-coaster-ridin’” Dupre was host to a swank ATL hoe’down that resulted in a shoot out. None of his faboo celeb pals (Puffy, Nelly) however, were injured. But for others who are not so lucky, hospitals across the states have been taking some controversial steps. When caring for an injured illegal immigrant who is not insured, they are forcibly deporting them to their country of origin, often returning them to areas where there is no significant health care available.
