Health Shake of the Stars

Gapers Block sister site, Rubber Neck, out in L.A., has posted an item about a new health drink being guzzled by the bucketful. The drink, which is said to be even more miraculous for the complexion and the body than Master Cleanse, was created by Estelle Marie, the dietician for Heidi Montag, the glowing and curvaceous character on The Hills on MTV.
"Many people think the changes in my face and my body are from surgery, but the truth is, I owe it all to Estelle's concoction," Montag told Rubber Neck. "Who would have known the combination of coffee and olive juice could change the shape of a nose?"
The recipe is below.

1/2 cup of black coffee
15 drops of Tabasco
1/2 cup of water
5 shakes black pepper
5 shakes salt

In another bowl, or a mortar and pestle if you have one, mash up one fortune cookie (remove fortune first) with 2 tbsp of olive juice

Combine with liquid ingredients, top with red sprinkles and enjoy.
