Dietitian offers swaps for Super Bowl snacks Snacks and the Super Bowl go hand in hand but grabbing something healthier can be just as satisfying. WDEL's LeAnne Matlach has more. The main event during the Super Bowl might be the game but the snacks are definitely major players. "It's one of those things that comes once a year and people tend to pig out on this day," she said. "I think if they realized just how many calories they're really eating, it might slow them down a little bit." Dietitian Diane McArtor says people need to be mindful of mindless eating. One mozzarella stick can have up to 100 calories. She encourages healthier swaps for fatty foods, like salsa with chips instead of creamy dips.

VIDEO: Mt. Pleasant's Coopers - WDEL Female HS Athletes of the Week Mount Pleasant sprinters Tia and Tyra Cooper are this week's WDEL Female High School Athletes of the Week. Tia won the 55 meters, and Tyra the 200 and 400 at the Delaware High School Invitational at UD's Field House Sunday. The sisters, starting with Tyra, said their tight duel in the 400 makes them both better. Tyra: When I just nipped her at the line, I was thinking ' Tia what are you doing here?' Tia: I usually win the 400. It's fun when we can see what we can do. Tyra says their running careers began at age 5, when they followed their mom to the local track. "Tia and I were just running around the track alot. My mom recognized it and realized she needed to get us into track. The next thing you knew we were in our first track meet and it took off from there." The sisters are going to run at Hampton University next year, and Tia says it's easier to race with her sister alongside. "She gives me the encouragement to run. She helps me out and I feel comfortable that she's there with me so we can push each other through the race." But Tyra responds that sometimes it is better when her sibling rival isn't in the same race. "I think I depend too much on her when I run. When we go to kick I look at her to push me to kick. I think I run better when I'm on my own."

Leshon ran a the state record 6.34 second, 55-meter dash during the Delaware High School Invitational at UD Sunday. Collins says hard work led to the record. "I believe it's just the training. I worked hard in practice. I work hard in extra practices, in the school, the classroom, everything, so I can get chances to do this." Leshon's races take under 7 seconds, I asked him what goes through his mind in the final seconds before the gun sounds. "Once I'm in the blocks, I put my head down, I'm at the start, and I'm totally focused. I'm not thinking about anything but me and the finish line and time. My mind is completely blank." Leshon says he used a potentially surprising event to help him improve as a sprinter, the 3.1 mile cross country season. "It gave me the lungs and the endurance to finish through the 400, and the 400 for the 200, and the 200 for the 100 and the 55." As for a track idol, Leshon points to 6-time world champion Tyson Gay of the United States. "I try to do everything he does. He's a good person. He's a great runner, the fastest runner in America. I want to be like him, and better than him one day, and better than Usain Bolt (of Jamaica) who is the fastest runner in the world." AUDIO: WDEL's profile of LeShon Collins

ANTI-GAY GROUP WANTS ELLEN DEGENERES FIRED AS J.C. PENNEY SPOKESPERSON

The "conservative" group, One Million Moms -- a project of the American Family Association -- is protesting J.C. Penney's decision to hire Ellen DeGeneres as their spokesperson. The anti-gay group wrote on its website, "Funny that J.C. Penney thinks hiring an open homosexual spokesperson will help their business when most of their customers are traditional families. More sales will be lost than gained unless they replace their spokesperson quickly and their brand transformation will be unsuccessful."

They are calling on the retailer to fire DeGeneres and "remain neutral in the culture war."

The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Discrimination (GLAAD) responded with a Stand Up For Ellen campaign. Their spokesperson said, "A vast majority of Americans today support Ellen as well as their LGBT friends and family members. Selecting an out performer who has inspired and entertained millions, is not only a smart business practice, but a reflection of how LGBT Americans today are an integral and valued part of the fabric of our culture."

DID SIMON COWELL OFFER BEYONCE $500 MILLION TO DO X-FACTOR?

Rumor has it that Simon Cowell wants Beyonce to be a judge on X-Factor -- in fact he wants her so bad, he has allegedly offered her $500 million to do it. According to Mediatakeout.com, an insider said that Simon desperately wants to revive the show and thinks that adding the superstar would do it.

The insider said, "He wants a big name female star on the panel. Mariah Carey is good, but she's not that hot today. He wants Beyonce because that would immediately give him the bounce needed to beat American Idol."

The source said that Simon offered Bey $500 million or $100 million per year for five seasons. A source in Beyonce's camp would not reveal whether or not if Beyonce is interested, but told the site to expect for the superstar to announce a major career move in the next month.

According to E! News, this story is false. The site said that Simon may be trying to get Beyonce as a judge, but it is not likely that he would be willing to pay $500 million to get the superstar.

OLIVIA WILDE GAINED WEIGHT AFTER DIVORCE

Divorce was not kind to Olivia Wilde's waistline. The actress admitted to Town and Country magazine that she gained weight following her split from Tao Ruspoli last year after eight years of marriage.

She told the publication, "I put on a few extra pounds. But I'm trying to be healthier now." Last year, Olivia hinted that weight gain might be an issue, saying, "I got a divorce and self-medicated with food. But I figure that's better than self-medicating with crack cocaine."

Olivia noted that there are some pros to getting divorced in your 20s. She explained, "The good thing about getting divorced young -- if there is a good thing -- is that it makes you realize there's no schedule in life. It blasts you wide open and frees you to be honest with yourself."

While she wouldn't directly address her widely-known relationship with SNL actor Jason Sudeikis, Olivia conceded that she's dating a man in the "entertainment world," and teased, "he's in a much more interesting part of the business than I am."
