... If a celebrity provides them, or is involved in any capacity.

Thanks for the calorie-free Grey Goose, Shaun!

As most of us boring folk would agree, being in the presence of celebrities requires extreme composure. Whether you're completely freaking out at the sight of Ryan Gosling or trying to be nonchalant around Jessica Simpson (she's not smarter than I am, okay?!), one requires extra calories to keep his/her cool. The extra effort means that extra calories are absolutely essential, and thus do not count.

Specifically focusing on alcohol now - if a celebrity is the source of alcohol, it most definitely does not count towards your daily calorie amount (being composed around a celeb while inebriated is a tough job!). So when celebrity snowboarder Shaun White buys you Grey Goose in Vegas (yep!)... Drink up! It's calorie-free, and the drunchies required to soak up the alcohol are as well!

Admittedly, this rule may not be the most practical in everyday life. But lucky for you, our calorie scientists have recently discovered a related calorie rule - if your friends come into contact with celebrities, calories only count half for you! This can be attributed to the fact that you'll likely have to share in the excitement of the encounter, and need extra calories to support them during their post-celeb freak out.
