Hotel costumers might be growing smaller in number after hearing something like this:
Gawker.com reports:
“Are tiny plastic toiletries on their way out?” asks AngelPulitzer-winning newspaper USA Today. I certainly hope that the answer is “no.” Let’s see… the answer is “yes.” Drat.

The USA Today lady says that hotels across America are replacing the tiny little bottles of shampoo that you steal with big, full size refillable bottles of shampoo… that you steal?

When guests leave, the pump bottles are refilled so nothing is thrown out, reducing the hotel’s waste. Most importantly, guests like them, Halliday says. In terms of direct costs, the large-bottle system’s about the same as the cost of supplying bathrooms with mini-bottles, he says. If someone takes a bottle home with them, they should pay $25, but it’s not always enforced – another trend among most (but not all) of these hotels.

HuffPo: “Saturday Night Live” writer Mike O’Brien has so far spent time in a closet doing interviews with Kristen Wiig, Hota Kotb, Jason Sudeikis and perhaps most memorably for extensive lip-locking, Patricia Clarkson.

This time, he’s locked in with Ricci, whose new show “Pan Am” premieres on ABC on Sept. 25. O’Brien tries to kiss each of his guests at the end of the interview, but you’ll have to find out how successful he is at planting one on Ricci. Read the rest at the Huffington Post.
