Danica McKellar Thinks Math Is Cool

splashnews_spl2072_012.jpg

Danica McKellar who played Winnie Cooper on 'The Wonder Years' and currently stars in 'How I Met Your Mother' has written a book called 'Math Doesn't Suck,' you see besides being a child star, Danica graduated from the University Of California Los Angeles summa cum laude in 1998 with a degree in mathematics and is responsible for something called the "Chayes-McKellar-Winn Theorem." Danica wrote 'Math Doesn't Suck" to help middle school girls conquer their fears and get more involved and comfortable with math.
Let's get a few things straight: Acne sucks. Mean people suck. Finding out that your boyfriend kissed another girl? That would totally suck. Too much homework, broken promises, detention, divorce, insecurities: suck, suck, suck, suck, suck. But math is actually a good thing. Here are a few reasons why: Math builds confidence, keeps you from getting ripped off, makes you better at adjusting cookie recipes, understanding sports scores, budgeting and planning parties and vacations, interpreting how good a sale really is, and spending your allowance. It makes you feel smart when you walk in a room, prepares you for better-paying jobs, and helps you to think more logically. Most of all, working on math sharpens your brain, actually making you smarter in all areas. Intelligence is real, it's lasting, and no one can take it away from you. Ever.
Not only does math not suck but according to Danica "smart is sexy" which I think her fan in the above picture can agree with. He totally had his sexual awakening during an episode of the 'Wonder Years.' splashnews_spl2072_001.jpg splashnews_spl2072_005.jpg splashnews_spl2072_008.jpg splashnews_spl2072_010.jpg splashnews_spl2072_009.jpg Pictures by Tonya Wise/London Entertainment

Every time I see pictures of the new but certainly not improved Jenna Jameson I keep thinking that her current boyfriend Tito Ortiz should ask for his money back. splashnews_spl2588_004.jpg splashnews_spl2612_001.jpg splashnews_spl2612_002.jpg splashnews_spl2612_008.jpg Pictures Demis Maryannakis

Owen Wilson And His Sober Companion

We spotted Owen Wilson out with his $750-a-day sober companion in Venice, CA (Where art meets crime). The two had lunch on trendy Abbot Kinney Boulevard at Stroh's Gourmet (excellent sandwiches). Owen is looking pretty good for a guy that supposedly just tried to commit suicide. Lets hope the sober companion works out for him. splashnews_spl2584_003.jpg splashnews_spl2584_006.jpg splashnews_spl2584_008.jpg splashnews_spl2584_012.jpg Pictures by London Entertainment

Kanye Ahead Of 50 Cent

The album projections are in and right now it looks like 50 Cent might be forced into early retirement. Kanye West's "Graduation" is on pace to sell about 575,000 to 700,000 copies its first week out, while 50 Cent's "Curtis" is on track to do 550,000. But both rappers better watch out because Kenny Chesney isn't that far behind both of them and is on pace to sell 400,000 to 550,000 copies. They both should be forced to retire if Chesney's sales pickup and pass them. Do your part, buy Kenny Chesney's album, it's called "Just Who I Am: Poets and Pirates."

Model Kate Moss has moved on from Pete Doherty and has been running around London with new boyfriend Jamie Hince, guitarist from the band 'The Kills.' Moss has the worst taste in men I have ever seen. Can they get any uglier? I bet she would go out with Danny DeVito if he was single. Pictures by Colin MacFarlane

Kate Bosworth

We spotted spindly Kate Bosworth leaving her Soho hotel yesterday. She stopped to take a look at a rack of vintage clothes from a sidewalk vendor before getting into a cab. Some of you love high waisted jeans but I just to get them. They don't flatter anyone and they make Kate look even thinner. splashnews_spl2643_004.jpg splashnews_spl2643_005.jpg splashnews_spl2643_010.jpg splashnews_spl2643_006.jpg Pictures by Demis Maryannakis
