I've never heard of this before. When most people think of ID theft and fraud, credit cards, credit scores and various expenses come to mind. Have you thought about the security of your medical identity? Turns out medical ID theft is a major and growing concern, and once your medical ID is compromised, it can take years to undo the damage.

Most hospitals do little to confirm identity when patients check in, which means criminals can obtain simple medications to delivering babies and life-saving operations, leaving you responsible for bills to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

How to protect yourself:

• Check the explanation of benefits forms you get from insurance companies line-by-line to make sure they're correct -- don't just throw them away.
• If your wallet is stolen, notify your insurance company that your insurance card is gone and someone may be trying to use it.

How dangerous!!!!! Yet another reason why we should have free health care in the States. I hate you, Canada! Eh!!!!!!

On picture-taking fans:

"My favorite move is when people pretend that they're on the phone, and they kind of dial and take the picture at the same time. You hope they're doing it for themselves �" that they're not thinking, ‘I'm going to dine out on you.' "

On Facebook:

"It's not for me. I'd be opening myself up too much. I don't want to sound like a complete innocent �" I've looked at things, of course. But it's such spewing. If I look at it, I'll be affected. It's like dancing with the devil."

Kanye kept the crowd at the Konig-Pilsener Arena in Oberhausen, Germany, waiting for two hours before he finally started the show.

Then he flounced on to the stage, yelling: "I really need some pussy tonight!"

Shocked members of the audience then had to endure Kanye's new high-concept stage show. Egomaniac Kanye even claims to have invented a completely new style of music and called it "pop art".

Ya gotta love Ye. When he hits the stage two hours later, he's already got some demands. Actually, I dunno if I could bang Kanye. You can tell that fool is not a giver and you'd have to call him the Messiah during sex. I personally prefer to call my guys Daddy Dude while in bed so they're constantly reminded to pull out when they need to.

Twilight's going to keep a lot of people up all night.

Across the country, more than 1,100 midnight Friday screenings were reported sold out. In Los Angeles, pairs of tickets were hawked for upwards of $50 on Craigslist. On Facebook, members were planning their opening-night wardrobe.

Suffice to say, Team Edward T-shirts�"and the fans wearing them�"will be out in force.

"I think the opening day is going to be huge," says Bruce Nash of the box-office data site, the Numbers.

I haven't read any of the books, but I look forward to watching this movie. I'm buying the hype.

Look who gets bitten! Twilight's sexy bloodsucker Robert Pattinson fulfills Tyra Banks's vampire fantasy while taping a segment of her talk show Thursday in New York City. The episode of The Tyra Banks Show airs Nov. 28.

Ashlee Simpson-Wentz and husband Pete Wentz welcomed a son Thursday night, PEOPLE confirms.

Bronx Mowgli Wentz weighed 7 lbs., 11 oz., and was 20 1/2 inches long.

"Ashlee, Pete and baby Bronx are all healthy and happy, and thank everyone for their well wishes!"

"I would love to have a big family one day," Simpson-Wentz told PEOPLE. Added Wentz: "A big soccer team or a band!"

Congrats!!! I actually really dig the name Bronx! It's just hot - kind of like the name Beyonce - it's original and it makes ya wanna know more about someone named Bronx. Bronx's middle name sucks, (they got the name Mowgli from Jungle Book), but middle names are often unmentioned, not a big deal.

I can't wait to meet him in the People magazine spread that's inevitably on the way. People covered Ashlee's wedding and it probably has the rights to her baby pics too.

Here's Reese Witherspoon at the Hollywood premiere of her new movie "Four Chirstmases" which also stars Vince Vaughn. She is workin' it out!

I like Prince William's penis because there's something to work with. He's got some thickness going on. Prince William didn't mean to be showing us what he workin' wit, but the royal was at a polo match when he wanted to leak that shiz. The paps took some pictures, from probably like 1/4th of a mile away, and they got us these beauties. The paps are good for sumthin.
