Ben Cousins has been cast for the new season of Dancing With The Stars, which begs the question: does everyone deserve a redemption arc? (Especially on prime-time TV).

Plus, the ‘Birthday girlies’ are draining our bank accounts, and enough is enough. So, is it as simple as just saying you can’t afford to attend their endless extravagant events?

And, multimillionaire Bryan Johnson wants to live as long as humanly possible, and he’s got some interesting methods in the name of anti-aging.One involving shockwave therapy and his penis.
