â– An Indiana man has had Mitt Romney’s campaign logo tattooed on the side of his head. Eric Hartsburg, 30, listed the unconventional advertising space on eBay, and the highest bid came from an anonymous Republican, who paid Hartsburg $15,000 to ink himself with the distinctive “R” of the Romney-Ryan campaign. Although the tattoo may seem less relevant in about a week, Hartsburg says he has no regrets. “I see it as a way to encourage young people to vote,” said Hartsburg

â– Ellen DeGeneres may seem to be a natural beauty, says the National Enquirer, but she actually has had a lot of plastic surgery. An insider on her TV show says that while “Ellen has made a name for herself as the queen of anti-glamour,” the 54-yearold has spent “major bucks’’ maintaining the “peaches-and-cream glow that her fans love,” with several surgical tucks, laser peels to freshen her complexion, and Botox to remove crow’s feet. Before each show, makeup artists work for more than two hours to conceal scarring from all the surgery. “The bottom line,” said the source, “is that even if you are as down-to-earth as Ellen, in Hollywood your face is your fortune.”

â– A sunbathing Florida woman survived after a 4,500-pound Chevrolet Silverado backed up over her head. Brittany Taltos, 23, was asleep in the sun when a friend backed his Silverado over her lawn. “I woke up with half a tire in my face,” Taltos said. “I thought I was going to die.” The tire pushed Taltos’s head so far into the ground it left a small crater, but she suffered only cuts and bruises. The soft ground, police said, saved her life.
