July 1st, 2007 marks the day that restaurants in New York City are required to begin posting calorie counts on menus in type that is at least as large as the price. Some restaurants, however, are not having it.
Word has it that Burger King, McDonald’s and Wendy’s are among the chains planning to defy New York City’s new rule (Taco Bell and KFC aren’t commenting on the matter), while waiting on a lawsuit in federal court they hope will get the new regulation thrown out.

Ryan Phillippe and Abbie Cornish made their way around LA together over the weekend, stopping for lunch at Taste on Saturday and running errands on Sunday. He was by himself yesterday for a trip to the gym, showing off the guns that might come in handy for his potential role in a MacGruber movie. Ryan even treated himself to a little post-workout McDonalds — although it doesn't look like he needs help keeping his physique in shape, he could keep his meal under 300 calories if he knows what to order from the fast-food joint.
