The gentlemen were in charge at Saturday night's SpikeTV Guys Choice Awards. The men brought out their favorites, like a glowing Mandy Moore and Elisa Cuthbert's ill-planned hair. Perennial dude favorites Vince Vaughn, Will Ferrell and Adam Sandler were also in the house talking to their bathroom humor loving fanbase.

As you all know, we're at the 2006 Billboard Music Awards which air tonight on FOX and we're having a blast meeting lots of Fox TV talent and American Idol stars. We especially enjoyed getting some one-on-one time with Ace Young who was even cuter (and taller!) in person than he looks on TV and who has a ton going on right now.
He just came off the 60-show Idol tour and self-released his first single, "Scattered," which you can buy on iTunes.

I asked, and you voted that Bar Refaeli was last night's red carpet beauty queen.
Personally, I was kvelling over her wavy hair, but when I looked a little closer, I noticed her awesome shimmering blue- green eyeliner that was enhanced with a hint of gold in the inner v of her eyes.
Paired with a creamy pink pout and tanned, flushed cheeks, Bar's makeup was aces.

Drug Approvals
- Sitagliptin (Januvia), the first in a new class of diabetes drugs called DPP-4 inhibitors, was approved in 2006.
- Janumet, a 2-in-1 pill that contains both sitagliptin and metformin, was approved in 2007.
- These drugs are taken by mouth and may be more convenient for patients than exenatide (Byetta), a similar drug. DPP-4 inhibitors do not cause weight gain and may pose a lower risk for hypoglycemia than some other diabetes drugs.
Drug Safety Alert
Rosiglitazone (Avandia) may significantly increase the risk for heart attack, indicates a review published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. In 2007, a panel of experts from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) agreed the drug increases the risk of heart attacks -- but concluded it should remain on the market.

Last night American Idol finalists Kris Allen and Adam Lambert took the stage for the last time, joined by former contestants and big stars alike. Nicole Richie enjoyed her dad's duet with Danny Gokey with Joel and her little sister Sophia, while Victoria and Romeo Beckham took seats in the audience as well. As promised, the night was full of fun surprises from Kara's surprise sing along (and smokin' hot bikini body — who knew?) to an awesome rendition of "We Are the Champions" featuring Queen.

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) Risks
Smoking, unhealthy cholesterol levels, and diabetes are the main risk factors for PAD. According to a 2006 study in Circulation, they affect PAD in different ways:
- Smoking and high cholesterol are more likely to cause PAD progression in the large vessels of the legs. Painful cramps in the hips, thighs, and calves -- especially those that occur during exercise -- are the tell-tale symptoms.
- Diabetes is more likely to cause PAD progression in the small vessels of the feet.
