Supermodel Kate Moss burns 205 calories an hour walking down fashion runways.

Domestic diva Martha Stewart burns 225 calories an hour potting fall bulbs.

“X-Files” star Gillian Anderson burns 480 calories an hour chasing aliens.

In Spanish, that would translate to ‘Lo siento’

Jerry Seinfeld seems to be trying to salve the feelings of Puerto Rican patriots.
