Low-key Shulman was initially Hathaway's rebound romance after the messy end of her four-year romance with Raffaello Follieri in mid-2008. (Follieri pled guilty in October 2008 to defrauding investors of millions of dollars in a shocking scheme in which he posed as a real estate consultant for the Vatican.)

"We hit it off immediately, but it took us a pretty long time to get together," Hathaway has said. After they realized they were both single, the actress reveals that "things sped up a bit ? and I think I'll leave it at that."

"So far, it's worked out great," the "Dark Knight Rises" actress told Harper's Bazaar of her guy, adding that Shulman was far more "mellow" than her previous romances.

Genetics More Than Poor Parenting Responsible for Childhood Obesity (ContributorNetwork)

An Ohio 8-year-old was removed from his parents' home and placed in foster care recently, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. The child weighs more than 200 pounds and his parents are being charged with medical neglect. In the nature vs. nurture debate, the state blames poor parenting, while research says family history of weight problems might be the link to childhood obesity. Here's a look at childhood obesity and the heredity vs. environment discussion.

Childhood obesity

Juvenile obesity rates have tripled in the last 20 years, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In 2010, 35 percent of kids ages 2 to 19 were overweight and 17 percent were obese. 12.5 million children are obese based on Body Mass Index weight-to-height ratios. For adults, the BMI is a weight-to-height ratio, but for children, it adjusts for age and gender. The child's BMI is also not a static number but a percentile.

Environmental factors in obesity

One-third of low-income children are overweight. Children who are fed in day care, schools and by FNS-approved menus tend more toward obesity. The FNS pushes milk, including heavily sugared flavored milk, over water. Government food programs count pizza sauce as a vegetable and allow fried foods. Parents who bottle-feed vs. breastfeed tend to have overweight children.

Genetic predisposition refutes parental blame

If children are overweight, it was reasoned by experts like Harvard endocrinologist David Ludwig, that parents must be at fault. The idea of removing obese children from their parents' care stems largely from Ludwig, who said earlier this year that parents who allow children to become obese are negligent. But studies are finding children might be inheriting obesity. The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition followed 5,000 sets of twins and found that beyond all other contributing factors, family genetics played the biggest part in obesity.

Genetics and increased obesity rates

Experts agree that environment choices are a link to childhood obesity. Too much "screen time," not enough exercise and increased intake of junk food as a primary source of nutrition contribute to childhood obesity. Further, they say, the predisposition to obesity has existed for some time. Food trends and activity levels have turned latent weight problems into the obesity epidemic that prevails.

Egypt's ElBaradei ready to head government (AP)

CAIRO ? Leading Egyptian democracy advocate Mohamed ElBaradei says he is prepared to head a "national salvation" government to steer the country out of its political crisis.

ElBaradei's office released the statement late Saturday, in advance of plans by Egypt's protest movement to stage a massive protest in Cairo's Tahrir Square to press demands for the country's military rulers to step down.

The Sunday rally, dubbed "Legitimacy of the Revolution," comes following nine days of continued protest in Tahrir.

The planned rally comes one day before the start of voting in the first parliamentary elections since the ouster of President Hosni Mubarak. The elections will be held over a three-month period.

Bellator 59: ?Pitbull? takes out Pellegrino, Dantas ends Vila?s run

Kurt Pellegrino has retired again. This time it wasn't as voluntary.

The UFC lightweight veteran took a fight with one of the young guns of MMA in Bellator and got waxed.

Patricky "Pitbull" Freire caught Pellegrino with a straight right that dropped him (2:28 mark). When they have someone in trouble, the Pitbull Brothers go for the kill. Patricky jumped on Pellegrino's back and trapped one his arms as he wailed away at the defenseless fighter. Referee Kevin McDonald stopped it, saving Pellegrino from unnecessary damage at the 0:36 mark of the first round.

Pellegrino, 32, retired from active fighting back in May, but couldn't resist the opportunity to fight in his home state when offered the shot with Bellator in Atlantic City, N.J. A native of Point Pleasant, N.J., Pellegrino was 7-5 in the UFC.

In one of the bigger bouts at Bellator 59, Alexis Vila fell short of completing his crazy journey to a tourney title at the age of 40. Vila lost a decision against Eduardo Dantas. Dantas won the Bellator bantamweight tourney and got himself a title shot against Zach Makovsky. Dantas, 22, also took out Ed West and Wilson Reis on his way to the tournament victory.
