Former 'Biggest Loser' Says Show Gave Her Eating Disorder.

A former contestant on the hit weight loss show "The Biggest Loser" is claiming that the show's unhealthy practices led her to develop a life-threatening eating disorder.

Kai Hibbard, 31, was one of the final four contestants on NBC's "The Biggest Loser" in 2006, when the show was in its third season. While Hibbard appeared to be a poster child for the show, losing 118 pounds in just 12 weeks, she now says that she nearly died.

"I had no idea I had a problem," Hibbard told ABCNews.com. "When you spend four months surrounded by people who are all doing this to themselves, even if intellectually it seems wrong, you don't realize. You just think if they're doing it, I'm doing it."

iPods, MP3 players 'can damage hearing'

Scientists in Europe have shown that listening to music on headphones for an hour can have a temporary impact on people's hearing because of the damage caused to the hair cells in the outer ear.

Participants in the study had their hearing tested and were then asked to listen to pop or rock music for six one hour long sessions using two different types of headphones and at varying, preset volumes, The Daily Telegraph reported. After each session, the scientists measured the responses of the 21 men and women aged between 19 and 28 to a very short sound and then two sounds of different frequencies to see how clearly participants could hear the tones.

This Man Will Do Anything You Tweet Him.

David Perez must be one trusting guy. Because for the next six days, he's agreed to do anything you want him to do, as long as you tell him to do it over Twitter.

Breaking the law is out, he said. And maybe nothing that will make his mom wince too hard. But everything else sent to his Twitter account, @DavidOnDemand, the 29-year-old Chicagoan said, is fair game.

"There will definitely be antics involved in this," Perez said.

And as he embarks on his bold and potentially bizarre adventure, his Internet-enabled masters will be able to follow along with a stealth cam attached to his glasses that will stream live video over the Web.

"You'll be able to see and hear everything I do," he said.

Kids Think Food Tastes Better From Cartooned Packages.

Researchers from Yale University announced the results of a small study which confirmed that, to children at least, food that's marketed with cartoons tastes better.

Forty children from the New Haven, Conn., area were asked to do a taste test of gummy fruit snacks, graham crackers and baby carrots. One bite came from food in a plain package with a simple label, and one bite came from a similar package that also had a Dora the Explorer, Shrek or a Scooby Doo sticker on the front.

Both packages had the same brand of snack, but the children consistently said that the food from packages with cartoons tasted better, according to a study published today in the journal Pediatrics.

What a way of learning, Teacher makes algebra cool with hip hop [VIDEO].

Math teacher, LaMar Queen, using rhyme to help them memorise seemingly complicated algebra and in the process improve their grades.

"It gets stuck in your head," says Cindy Martinez, a 14-year-old whose math grade went from a C-average to a B.

Queen, 26, is now known at Los Angeles Academy as the rap teacher, but his fame has spread far beyond the 2,200-student school in this gritty neighborhood. He's won a national award and shows teachers and parents how to use rap to reach children.

"Math is a bad word in a lot of households," he says. "But if we put it in a form that kids enjoy, they'll learn."

Queen is doing what many veteran educators have done - using students' music to connect with them. Where teachers once played the rock n' roll tunes of "Schoolhouse Rocks" to explain everything from government to grammar, they now turn to rap to renew Shakespeare or geometry.

'The Hangover' is the most-watched On Demand movie ever.

According to a new industry study, "The Hangover" is the most-watched On Demand movie ever. Of course, On Demand has only been big for a few years, so "ever" in this case means "since the first CGI 'Alvin & the Chipmunks' movie came out." (That cinema classic squeaks on to the list at No. 6.)

No. 2 went to "Twilight," and No. 3 went to the slightly surprising "Gran Torino."

Aside from that one Clint Eastwood drama, this is a list of popcorn movies -- mostly comedies and romances of various sorts, with a couple of action flicks tossed in. They're all the type of films I can easily see tons of people deciding to order on TV some random night.

I think I might have even seen one or two of these movies On Demand myself. Not "10,000 BC" (No. 19), though. That one I saw in theaters. Please don't judge me.

Check out the full list of On Demand blockbusters via Variety after the jump. How many of these have you demanded?
