• Simon Cowell: The onetime American Idol judge said that taking vitamins C, B12, and magnesium intravenously makes him feel and look younger. A dietitian, however, says Cowell probably isn’t getting much benefit from the regimen, and that most people get all the vitamins they need from food—unless one has a specific vitamin deficiency.

Apparently it's worth it, according to renters

(NEWSER) - If, for some reason, you want to live out your own Jersey Shore fantasy, all you need is $2,500 a night.
