Jenny McCarthy isn't usually shy about showing off her fab figure, but in this case she was!
The actress admits that she once mistakenly sent a nude pic of herself to her son's dentist -- OOPS!
The Love in the Wild host was supposed to send a photo of her son's tooth to him, but instead, the dentist got a lot more than he was expecting.
"It's horrific to remember," she told Wendy Williams. "[My son, Evan,] woke up and was like, 'There's this weird thing on my gum.' I saw this abscess sticking out from his gum and I was like, 'Oh my gosh, that's disgusting!' So I called the dentist and I was like, 'This is insane.' He's like, 'Take a picture and send it to me.'"
Jenny, 39, did just that, but it didn't play out how she planned.
"I went to the bathroom and I was shoving my iPhone in his mouth. I'm taking a picture of it and I'm sending it to the dentist and I sent him a nude on accident!" she recalled. "I swear to God!"
Talk about embarrassing!! Knowing there was nothing she could do, the reality star laughed at the outrageous situation.
"The dentist is, like, 80 years old. I literally screamed at the top of my lungs," McCarthy said, laughing. "Is there an app? Like, 'Uh-oh! I Effed Up!'"
But the dentist isn't the only one who will see her goods. She will soon be posing for Playboy again.
"I did it 20 years ago in 1993. It was kind of on my bucket list to do it again before I turned 40. I shot, I'm proud of it, and it comes out in a couple of weeks," she said. "I'm so tired of seeing just the 20 year olds being considered sexy. I was like, MILFS are hot, too. I'm getting better with age."
So why did she have a naked pic of herself on her phone? The photo was taken for her "new boyfriend," Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher, 34.
Alex Baldwin and his yoga instructor girlfriend were getting a marriage license in New York. They were swarmed by paparazzi when they left so Alex took it upon himself to shove the photographer! He denies it but I think this picture proves it!
1. We know what we're talking about. I'm always amazed at how much awful advice is served up to women by other women. I can't tell you how many times I've sat down with a female friend who followed the council of one of their girlfriends regarding a relationship with a guy, only to have the whole thing blow up in her face. Let me say this in no uncertain terms: SHE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT SHE'S TALKING ABOUT. In much the same way guys need to admit that they don't know women the way they think they do, women should do the same. Problems with your guy? Talk to another guy.
2. It's an easy friendship. Your relationship with your guy friend will be much less dramatic than one with with your lady friends. I'm aware of the incredible bond between female best friends and the sisterhood of women. But I'm ALSO aware of the myriad pitfalls inherent in those relationships as well. Feelings get hurt or someone gets offended by a perceived slight, which then turns into a far bigger deal than it needed to be. With guys, even when there's a big disagreement, it usually flares up and gets resolved quickly. Listen, there's a reason there's no show on Bravo called "The Real House Husbands." Think about it.
3. You learn about men. It's like watching an animal in its natural habitat. Many times you can simply watch and learn more about guys by simply hanging out and being "one of the guys." Those of you who have already experienced this, know that we're not always the most mature creatures, but you also come to understand and appreciate the straightforward simplicity of the way most guys communicate just by being part of the gang. Understanding how guys deal with each other will absolutely help you with your other experiences with men.
4. It's a great way to meet guys. If you're a single woman, there's no better way to meet men than through your guy friends. Your guy friend is going to be one tough screener. He'll be happy to hook you up with one of his buddies if he believes the dude is decent enough for you.
Now obviously these are all pretty simple and general reasons to tighten up your guy-friend game. But I'm telling you, in spite of what many men and women believe, the genders can and often are able to simply be just friends and nothing more. And when it works, I think THOSE friendships are the absolute cream of the crop.

Julianne Hough made it known that she loves her man during a phone interview on her beau’s KISS-FM radio show Friday. But why didn’t he respond?
Julianne Hough chatted with her boyfriend, Ryan Seacrest, about her new musical movie, Rock of Ages, opening today. But curiously when the interview was over and Julianne said “I love you”, Ryan did not respond!
The lovebirds’ chemistry was definitely on display during the lengthy chat as the couple kept giggling and were very sweet with one another.
Ryan was very complimentary of the 22-year-old actress’s work. He declared his affections for Julianne’s newest film, saying he “loved” the movie.
As the interview ended, Ryan said, “I’m very proud of you. Go see Julianne in the movie. Thanks, darling.”
Julianne replied, “Alright. Love you. Bye.” To which Ryan simply answered, “Bye.”
But don’t think the radio host got off the hook so easily. As soon as the call was ended his staffers started berating him yelling, “She said ‘I love you’ and you didn’t say it back!”
“Because you guys won’t shut up,” Ryan coyly replied before signing off for a commercial break.
Awww, Ryan! It looks like even celebrities can be shy when it comes to matters of the heart!
Erin was so excited for an upcoming girls night that she posted about it on Facebook. A guy she used to hook up with commented on the post "You're gonna be in my neck of the woods, maybe I'll come by." She told him to come, he's a nice guy and they only hooked up a few times. When she told her friends about it they were like "What?! Are you going to tell your boyfriend about it?" She doesn't want to because she thinks it will only cause problems, it's innocent. Her friends think that she must still have feelings for this guy or she would tell her boyfriend. What do you think?
UPDATE!
Erin didn't tell her boyfriend that she was meeting up with an old hook up, but it really was just an innocent encounter that didn't lead to anything else.
A new kind of pill can make a person want to exercise more, a research says.
The researchers say that erythropoietin (Epo) could be used to help people exercise. They found that Epo worked in animal models by increasing motivation to exercise. Also, the hormone did not increase the red blood cell count.
"Here we show that Epo increases the motivation to exercise. Most probably, Epo has a general effect on a person's mood and might be used in patients suffering from depression and related diseases," said Max Gassmann, researcher from the Institute of Veterinary Physiology, University of Zurich, who was involved in the work.
Previous research said that Epo helps increase exercise capacity in people who've had moderate to severe heart failure. People with heart failure often are anemic and face extreme exhaustion during exercise. The authors of the study said that Epo may help reduce exhaustion by increasing oxygen delivery to the tissues.
The efficacy of Epo in exercise was studied on normal people and athletes where Epo was associated with increased exercise capacity.
Another study says that Epo corrects anemia. The hormone is also said to reduce the extent of concussion in people who have had recent brain injury.
Experts say that an average person can prevent diabetes type-2, heart diseases, stroke and various other complications just by adopting a more active lifestyle. 30 minutes of physical activity per day for about 5 days a week is recommended for most people.
"If you can't put exercise in a pill, then maybe you can put the motivation to exercise in a pill instead. As more and more people become overweight and obese, we must attack the problem from all angles. Maybe the day will come when gyms are as easily found as fast food restaurants," said Dr. Gerald Weissmann, editor-in-chief of The FASEB Journal.

The other night I stayed over my boyfriend's house after we went out to diner. I think I ate soemthing bad because I wasn't feeling well. His brother was having a few people over but I didn't wanna be around anyone so I went upstairs and got ready for bed. My boyfriend went down stairs to see everyone but said he wasn't gonna stay down there too long. No big deal. I didn't go to bed right away because of the pain I was in. My boyfriend stayed downstairs until like 1 in the morning and never came up once to see how I was! Not even a text! Don't you think he should get his priorities straight?
UPDATE!
She confronted him and he apologized for not taking care of her. He promised to be more considerate next time.

A high school student has been expelled after being caught with a 35ft (11 metres) long crib sheet wrapped around his body during his university entrance exam in Kazakhstan.
The Borat-style stunt was discovered when examiners noticed the student fiddling inside his clothing before the exam started, say officials.
Under his shirt they found a chain of computer print-outs containing 25,000 potential answers to the exam's five topics of maths, history, Russian, Kazhak, and another subject of the student's choice.
Education authority spokesman Bolatzhan Uskenbayev said: "If he'd put half as much effort into studying as he did into cheating he would have sailed through the exam with a distinction. It's a pity too see all that work come to nothing but he cheated, and that's not allowed."
Men who work for the Sörmland County Council in central Sweden should sit down rather than stand up when urinating in office toilets, according to a motion put forward by the local Left Party chapter.
The Left Party in Sörmland is taking a stand to ensure men take a seat when emptying their bladders in the county council's own toilets.
According to the party, there are two very important reasons for the proposal encouraging men to sit instead of stand when they urinate.
One reason has to do with hygiene and a desire to ensure that no one who uses the toilets at the county council's offices will be required to walk through puddles or residue left by stray urine which happens to splash out of the bowl and onto the floor when male employees pee standing up.
The Left Party also cites medical research it claims shows that men empty their bladders more efficiently when they are seated.
The improved bladder evacuation not only reduces the risk for prostate problems, according to the party, but also helps men who sit rather than stand achieve a longer and healthier sex life, the local Folket newspaper reported.
As a first step in its quest to get men to take a seat, the Left Party proposes labeling toilets which are designated for men who absolutely want to remain standing when they pee.
The Left Party's Viggo Hansen, a substitute member of the county council and the man responsible for the proposal, wants the office toilets to be genderless and as a result, is pushing for the "sit-down only" requirement.
He insisted, however, that the move doesn't represent political meddling in people's bathroom habits.
"That's not what we're doing. We want to give men the option of going into a clean toilet," he told Sveriges Television (SVT).
Tired of feces-filled communal open spaces, property managers like the ones at Legends, an upscale apartment complex in Montgomery, Ala., are now using DNA testing to determine which pile of poo came from which dog -- and which owner failed to pick it up, WZZM-13 reports.
And according to property manager Joe Johnson, the tactic is working well.
"We sent out letters to residents about what we were going to do," Johnson told the station. "The problem of owners not cleaning up after their dogs just disappeared."
PooPrints, the company used to catch lazy dog owners, is a division of BioVet Pet Lab based out of Knoxville, Tenn., and works with property managers in 28 states.
Clients -- in this case property managers -- collect samples found in communal areas, then send them to a lab where the DNA is matched not just to the pet, but to the apartment number of the pet's owner, who has provided a sample beforehand. Depending on enforcement rules, the tenant will then receive a warning or fine.
In addition to cleaner yards and sidewalks, the DNA matching might also result in healthier pets and people.
The Huffington Post's Lynne Peeples spoke to Dr. Emily Beeler, an animal disease surveillance veterinarian for the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, who said that while poop may seem less gross as it decomposes, it may actually become more dangerous for humans and their canine companions over time.
"It takes many types of parasite eggs a while to ripen," Beeler told HuffPost.
Roundworm, for example, can take up to three weeks to become infectious and can remain dangerous for years in contaminated soil and water.

New restaurants are starting to use touch screens for ordering meals, but do we even need them? And even if the convenience is cool enough to fit in the swankiest of foodie digs, will it make you forget about smudged-in germs?
If the managers of new e-ordering digs are to be believed, like the Israeli-based Frame in the video below, only a few thorough wipes are all that’s needed. Plus, the screens have become a successful added attraction for customers. Why? Because touch-screen ordering has a few interesting benefits.

Yesterday we told you about a Canadian gym that only caters to plus-sized women–so much so that they ban skinny women from being allowed to work out there (because they “bring down morale”, you know). It’s something that is downright discriminatory and, based on a boatload of your comments, highly controversial. This one gym may think they are doing something positive to help overweight women get fit in a safe and like-bodied place, but it has only further ignited the fat vs. thin body wars. Take a look at the divided–and heated–discussion that took place among readers yesterday:
Valerie wrote:
This is so offensive. I’m a skinny person and I wouldn’t want to be excluded from a fitness program because I’m too skinny. And to stereotype skinny people as “mean morale suckers” is just horrific.
And Allie commented:
I think it’s pretty discriminating of this gym. When I was overweight, I always checked out the skinny people. They were my inspiration, rather than a “morale sucker.” I aspired to become as fit and strong as them, which I eventually accomplished :-)
But not everyone agreed that a fat-only gym was discriminatory. Lveus wrote:
Thin people are discriminated against? Give me a break. Only someone who has been overweight can understand how it feels to walk into a gym and feel like a pariah.
And Stranded in LaLa Land added:
Really? Your life will change dramatically after not being able to go to one gym that doesn’t cater to you? Whoa, if that’s not skinny privilege I don’t know what it is.
The gym’s founder, Louise Greene even wrote in to defend her business:
I am the owner of this company and I have interviewed hundreds and hundreds of our clients, they say this has changed their life, they have never felt accepted elsewhere and it is working in their life. Sounds pretty positive to me?
Which we can almost agree with, but then she said:
Why do these stories always have to focus on thin vs. fat, we are just people trying to be healthy in an environment that works….such a time waster.
Um, it seems as though you are the one focusing on thin vs. fat, Ms. Green. You’re the one who screens clients over the phone and then directs “fitter, thinner people to other programs.” Why does it have to be that way? Why can’t gyms cater to all body types? You may say it’s because overweight people are more body-conscious and afraid of being gawked at in regular gyms. But “newsflash”, we all have body image issues–not just overweight people. Many thin women are just as self-conscious of their bodies, their jiggles, their flab and their flaws. Negative body image is not just something that strikes the overweight crowd.
Dale K agreed and commented:
What these women can’t seem to comprehend is that women who are not overweight struggle with the exact same body image and self esteem problems overweight women do. We all hate our bodies equally!
Amen.
The only way the body image wars are going to stop is when we stop. That means our society needs to quit pitting thin versus fat, quit stereotyping thin women as “tiny Lululemon” people who judge and criticize women with larger bodies, and quit assuming all overweight people are the only ones with body issues. We all deal with the same things (thanks to the media and Hollywood constantly telling us that our bodies are somehow less than perfect).
To me, nothing is more inspiring during a race or a workout where people from all walks of life come together to kick some ass–no matter how big or small they are. Sweat is sweat, and when you are producing enough of it, no one really gives a shit what the person next to you looks like.
Have you ever bought clothes, kept the tags on them while you wore them out . . . then returned them? If you're a man, probably not. If you're a woman . . . yeah, there's a decent chance. Even though that's DIRTY. A new survey found about one in eight women admit they've done that. They're most likely to do it with an outfit they bought for a wedding.
--According to a new survey, about one out of every eight women say yeah, they've bought some expensive clothes, worn them out, then returned them the next day.
--The authors of the survey say the actual number is probably even higher . . . these were just the 12.5% of women willing to admit it.
--Of the women who admitted to doing that, about half say the main motivation was the money . . . they couldn't afford to keep the clothes. About one in five say they like to do it for the RUSH . . . it's like stealing, but feels less risky.
--Women are most likely to buy an outfit for a WEDDING, wear it once, then return it. Christenings are second, black tie events are third, and Christmas parties are fourth.
My family and I have a beach house that we go to every weekend at the Jersey Shore. When my boyfriend's not working he comes down too. We have been together for four years and I know he's the one! We've talked about marriage and kids and all that stuff so I know he feels the same way! We were walking along the beach last weekend after dinner and he said he had something for me. So, of course, being a girl I get super excited! He pulls out a box and hands it to me and when I open it there's a ring inside it but it wasn't the ring I was hoping for. It was a purple amethyst ring. Really?! It is my birthstone. Then he went on and on about how much he loves me and wants to be with me forever and this is a promise! He gave me a PROMISE RING! I didn't know people still gave those out! Do you think I'll ever get THE ring, or am I being a fool and it's never coming?
A new research project aims to turn wine into dresses with a creative – if slightly gross – colony of bacteria.
While most of us worry about spilling wine onto our clothes, researchers at the Bioalloy laboratories at the University of Western Australia have developed a program to turn wine into clothes by utilising wine’s natural fermentation process.
Entitled Micro'be' (see, scientists can be funny too), the fermented fashion project uses a colony of Acetobacter bacteria — the kind that ferment wine into vinegar – to create 'micro fibrils of cellulose', a material similar to cotton which is used to fashion the garments.
While the research team initially started creating the Micro'be' fabric from fermented from red wine, they’ve now moved on to producing it from fermented white wine, beer and even Guinness.
Although the Micro'be' fashion fabric could be the answer to cotton shortages around the world, we don’t expect to see the dresses on sale in Topshop anytime soon.
Figuring out whether you need to break up with your partner or just work harder at the relationship can be terribly difficult.
Now just a few taps of your phone could give you the answer - or at least bring you far closer to making a decision.
Chicago-based programmer Sarah Gray created the app 'Should I Break Up With My Boyfriend?' in her living room when working through a tumultuous relationship several years ago.
Ms Gray said she realised she was up and down on a daily basis and wanted to track her feelings about the relationship from an objective perspective.
The clever app requires girlfriends to rate how they feel about their significant other on a daily basis as well as recording their feelings.
It then analyses the data and reveals how the user's feelings fluctuated in comparison to their general outlook on life.
Ms Gray said: 'Being able to see your relationship clearly and objectively is the first step on the path to a happy, healthy, love life - whether it’s with him, with someone else, or on your own for a while.
Yes or no? Feelings graphs can help you figure out whether you spend most of your time together feeling happy or sad (file picture)
'Sometimes, we need an objective voice to help us appreciate a good thing or accept something painful. And this app helps us tap into the best voice of all - the one inside ourselves.'
The appwarns that it cannot replace 'discussions with a licensed therapist, a best friend or a favourite pet', but it can certainly provide a fresh point of view.
Users can also share results with trusted friends via email or SMS.
The conflicted dater is not able to look at their own results for a whole fortnight, so their answers will not be influenced by their most recent feelings.
When viewed afterwards, developers MercuryApp hope the patterns will have more impact and help provide answers.
'We‘re quick to forget or dismiss past feelings that don’t fit in with our current mood, which is why seeing larger patterns can give you insight you might not have in the moment,' said Ms Gray.
Her own results showed that her mood was 'good' only 39 per cent of the time and neutral for the rest.
In the end, Ms Gray believes that this simple but scientific analysis helped her to end a rocky relationships and move forward for good.

You know how greyhounds at the dog track run faster because they chase a fake moving rabbit? That might actually work for you too.
--Scientists at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in Melbourne, Australia developed something called the Joggobot, which has basically the same effect as that moving rabbit . . . for humans.--The Joggobot is a specially-tweaked remote-controlled hovercraft that flies along with you as you run. You have to wear a T-shirt with a special pattern on it so its sensors can track you.
--You can either use the Joggobot as a companion, to run alongside you . . . or as a coach, who flies ahead of you, challenging you to keep up.
--For now, the team has only made an experimental version, and there's no word if or when this might be available in stores.
There's a budget for every couple. Here's a sampling of what kind of wedding those budgets will buy...
A BACKYARD FETE FOR $5,000
Plenty of people spend $5,000 or less, but these celebrations typically are simpler and smaller.
The venue is often a private location like a relative's backyard or garden, which makes renting a private venue, with a price tag of often $5,000 to $20,000, unnecessary. Food is simple - think barbecue - or light, like appetizers, wine and perhaps a champagne toast.
AT $20,000, SERVE SIGNATURE COCKTAILS
While $20,000 sounds like a lot, it's not if the crowd is large.
Buy local food and local desserts
THE $50,000 BIG CITY WEDDING
If you're getting married in a big city like New York or San Francisco, be prepared to pay a big-city premium. On average, couples in Manhattan, the most expensive location in the country, spent $65,824 on their weddings last year, according to TheKnot.com.
Couples pay more for special foods, flowers and display
Some couples prefer a certain "wow" factor to impress their guests.
One thing that couples are doing less often: serving champagne. Instead, guests toast with whatever they are drinking, typically beer, wine and generic brands of liquor. The difference between top-shelf liquors and the generic brands can be $30 per person.
$100,000
Want every guest to enjoy crab claws and oysters during the cocktail reception? You may be paying $100-$150 per person, depending on the location. Fanciful details like a horse-drawn carriage ($650), or sparklers that surprise guests from the centerpieces during the first dance ($3,500), are costly but meaningful splurges for some couples.
Dance lessons for a couple who wants to impress their guests with their first spin around the dance floor can range from $200 to $600 for a few sessions.
SAVING FOR EVERY BUDGET
- Cut the guest list. Weddings are getting smaller, and it's one of the easiest ways to cut expenses. The average number of guests fell to 141 in 2011 from 149 in 2010, and from 153 in 2007, according to TheKnot.com.
- Make your own centerpieces. Use a flower designer for the bouquets the wedding party carries, but consider arranging the reception tables yourself, with modest smaller displays that won't get in guests' sightlines.
- Forget the favors. Unless they are crafted to represent the couple in a unique way (the Mexican wedding cookies, or handmade chocolate wrappers with the guests' names on them, for example), they are often a cost that can easily be eliminated.
We LOLed after Mark Ballas confessed in an interview that he just read Fifty Shades of Grey. It's a cool book, but it's so…girly. Curious to see what other womanly things dudes are doing on the DL, we asked you to dish on the habits you've spotted. And, wow. Mark's got nothing on your men.

Justin Bieber had a hair-raising moment when he was trapped in an elevator for 20 minutes backstage at a concert in London on Saturday.
The Baby hitmaker was on the bill for the Capital FM Summertime Ball, but he was thrown into a panic when an elevator he was travelling in with several fans jammed.
A source tells Britain's The Sun newspaper, "The girls couldn't believe their luck to be stuck there with him. They were sweating and nearly fainting with Biebermania before they got out."
But the mishap failed to prevent Bieber from wowing the crowd when he finally took to the stage at Wembley Stadium, where he performed a hits-packed set and even called fellow Canadian singer Carly Rae Jepsen onstage to duet on her hit Call Me Maybe.
After his performance, Bieber paid tribute to his fans, telling radio station Capital FM, "It's crazy, I mean, just to have the fan base. You know, going out there and seeing 80,000 people, and half of those people have my sign up! It's crazy!"
JOHN MAYER and TAYLOR SWIFT almost ran into each other at the Tower Bar in West Hollywood on Tuesday night.
--Taylor showed up at the place for dinner and was about to be seated when she noticed John eating with a friend nearby.
--A source says, quote, "Taylor very visibly . . . in front of the entire restaurant . . . demanded to be moved to the other side. The bar's usually an oasis of calm and privacy for celebrities and power players, but this was drama central."
(--There's no word what John's reaction was . . . or if he even saw Taylor. But the phrase "drama central" suggests that EVERYBODY in the joint was aware of the scene she was making.)
--Ironically, the next morning, "Rolling Stone" released the interview in which Mayer ripped into Taylor for writing the song "Dear John" about their relationship.
Researchers at Georgia Tech looked at 600,000 work emails and found that people spend a LOT of time at work gossiping.
--They looked at all the emails left over when Enron collapsed, and found that 14.7% of them . . . or one out of every seven . . . were GOSSIP about other coworkers.
--But they used an INCREDIBLY broad definition of gossip. If the email talked about someone other than the sender or receiver, they called it gossip.
--So even something like, "Check with Phil. He should have the old accounting files" would be considered gossip.
--Not surprisingly, the gossip was spread throughout almost every level of the company. The low-level worker bees were most likely to gossip, and the next biggest offenders were vice-presidents and directors.
--Gossip emails were nearly THREE TIMES more likely to be negative than positive, but the researchers said that a large percentage of them were neutral.
Shannon and her husband have been married for around a year. They have separate bank accounts and credit cards. Shannon occasionally "snoops" on her husbands laptop because she has trust issues. Last week, Shannon came across her husband's bank statement and noticed that a huge amount of money had been taken out of his account. Shannon thinks her husband spent a lot of money on something he shouldn't have! How does she let him know what's up without confessing that she has been snooping?
UPDATE!
The large amount of money was a surprise gift for her!
On Wednesday night, a couple in Sellersburg, Indiana went on a hot air balloon ride . . . and during the ride, the guy PROPOSED to his girlfriend. She said yes.
--The pilot of the balloon was a guy named Dallas Beall. He started landing the balloon so the couple could have some champagne . . . and when they were just a few feet from the ground, he accidentally flew straight into some POWER LINES.
--Dallas was ELECTROCUTED. Then he fell on the woman, which electrocuted HER too. Fortunately neither of them died.
--The man ended up performing CPR on both his future wife AND the pilot until they were rescued from the balloon, and all three were taken to the hospital. Dallas and the woman were treated for burns, but they're both okay.
--Dallas has owned a store called Dallas Jewelers in Louisville, Kentucky for more than 35 years, and offers the balloon rides for $425 as part of an engagement package.
If you're swimming in the ocean and your friend gets stung by a jellyfish, you know what to do. Movies, TV shows, and "Jackass" have all taught us that you PEE ON HIM. (--And Nicole Kidman does it to Zac Efron in a new movie.)
--Well . . . um . . . it turns out you probably shouldn't. Which will be extra disturbing news to anyone who's gotten the pee treatment for a jellyfish sting in the past.
--A study out of the University of California, San Diego, has found that the best treatment for jellyfish stings BY FAR is a combination of hot water and topical lidocaine.
--Topical lidocaine is a local anesthetic that's available over-the-counter at drug stores.
--The researchers say it's a much better treatment than the popular home remedies like vinegar, alcohol, baking soda, and pee. Especially pee.
Plan your weekly shopping trip on Wednesdays, when new store coupons are usually released. Grocers should still honor last week's deals along with the new sales, so there are double the opportunities to save.
2. Go Paperless
Speaking of coupons-thanks to technology, you're no longer required to pour through the Sunday circulars and show up with a binder full of clip-outs to get good deals. Try downloading the Coupon Sherpa mobile app, which offers mobile coupons to many different retailers. You can use the app to save coupons directly to your supermarket loyalty card-and then save just by swiping the card at the counter. Also check out sites like GiftCardGranny that offer grocery gift cards to popular drugstores, supermarkets, and warehouse stores like Costco for immediate savings of up to 15%.
3. Shop Drugstores
Next time you visit your local drugstore, see if they sell fresh food like eggs and milk. It seems counterintuitive, but these retailers often offer them for up to 20% less than supermarkets. You can also pick up name-brand cereal at drugstores, often at a larger discount than grocers.
4. Consider Store Brands
If you've been buying the same brand for years just because, consider trying the store-brand alternative, which is typically offered at up to 30% less than name brands (check out this guide from Consumer Reports). The store-brand product may taste just as good, and you'll only know for sure if you try.
5. Look Closely
Don't trust just the sticker price to get you the best deal-look closely and compare the price-per-unit cost of similar products to determine what's really the best price. The same logic applies to multiple-item sales, i.e. "buy three, get one free"-sounds like a deal, but a competitor brand could still be cheaper without a discount.
6. Beware of the Bakery
That devil's food cake may look irresistible, but beware: Pre-baked goods are marked up 100-300%. If you're hankering for a sweet confection, buy the basic ingredients and bake it yourself. You can also find deals on bread at the end of the day-ask your bakery manager to determine the best time to score these savings.
7. DIY for Savings
Same goes for dinner. Prepared foods may be convenient, but buying basic ingredients and making them yourself can save you up to 40%. If time is an issue, spend one hour each week chopping up fruits and vegetables, so you'll have them ready to go when you need them. Or, on Sunday, cook a large meal like pasta or beer-can chicken, and use leftovers for lunch and dinner during the week. Gojee.com is a great resource for recipes, and even tailors its offerings around what you already have in your pantry.
A study from San Diego State University of offices across the U.S. found that men’s desks and offices are germier than women's. Researchers discovered that men had anywhere from 10 to 20 percent more bacteria in their workspaces than women—and scientists say it's because they tend to be less hygenic. Ick
2. We Interview Better
A new study out of the University of Western Ontario found that women are better at handling the stress of a job interview. Researchers found that, while women get more freaked beforehand about interviewing, we do better in the actual event. Why? We prepare more before the big moment.
3. We Evolve Hotter
A recent study revealed that women are getting better looking through evolution; meanwhile, men are staying the same. After following more than 2,000 people through four decades of life, the study showed that attractive women had 16 percent more children than average-looking chicks and that beautiful people are 36 percent more likely to have a daughter as their firstborn. All those gorgeous daughters mean more beautiful women than in past generations.
4. We Survive Car Accidents More Often
This is sad but true: Men are 77 percent more likely to die in a car accident than women, according to a study done by Carnegie Mellon University. Our boyfriends should be thanking us when we nag them to "Wear your seatbelt!"
5. We're Better at Seeking Comfort
A Mind survey of 2,000 people revealed that women are far more likely than men to talk through their problems. Fifty-three percent of women talk to their friends about what's stressing them out, as opposed to 29 percent of men.
6. We're More Recession Proof
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 80 percent of those who have lost their jobs since December 2007 have been men. Ouch. This could be because male-dominated fields have been hit the hardest, like manufacturing and finance. That really sucks...but hey, maybe it's time more men became nurses and educators.
7. We Graduate More Often
We already know that female enrollment is higher than male, but the Department of Education's statistics reveal that men are also less likely than women to graduate and get their bachelor's degrees. Men are also more likely to take longer than five years to complete their degree.
8. We Eat Healthier
A survey of more than 14,000 people, conducted by the University of Minnesota, showed that women choose far healthier foods than men. While men are more likely to chow down on frozen pizza and red meat, women are piling fruits and veggies onto their plates. It all sounds pretty obvious, but we get so much grief for our chocolate addictions that we just had to point this one out!
9. We Have Stronger Immune Systems
No wonder men act like such babies when they have a sniffle — women really do have stronger immune systems than men! If there are little battles going on in our bodies, women have a secret weapon: estrogen. A study done by McGill University indicated that estrogen gives women an edge when it comes to fighting off infections. That's because estrogen confronts a certain enzyme that often hinders the body's first line of defense against bacteria and viruses.
10. We Live Longer
Among the world's population of those who are over 100 years old, 85 percent are women, according to the New England Centenarian Study. In general, women continue to live five to 10 years longer than men as well.
11. We're Better Managers - especially in this economy
This one is a little controversial, but a slew of experts are confident that women make greater bosses because they are better listeners, mentors, problem solvers, and multitaskers than their male counterparts. In a recent Daily News article, management expert Jay Forte said, "It's a very service-oriented economy [right now], so you need employees to be motivated. Women are better connectors than men and more astute about knowing how to activate passion in their employees."
12. We Invest Better
A study of 100,000 portfolios showed that women's investment returns outperform men's, 18 percent to 11 percent. This could be because women are typically more cautious with their investment decisions and think longer term.
Kim Kardashian had a wardrobe malfunction before appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live. She tweeted "About to do Jimmy Kimmel & my whole dress rips! Help!!! Time to sew me in...praying this works!" and posted this pic.
She was running around with his niece and nephew at a family BBQ for a while and needed a break. She went and sat down with her boyfriend, while he was hugging her he said "you totally remind me of my sister." What??? She was so weirded out! What do you think he meant by that? Was it a compliment?
UPDATE!
She asked him what he meant and he said that it was supposed to be a compliment because he and his sister are really close. He did not mean that he thought of her as a sister.
When you're dating the wrong person, the signs are usually pretty obvious. But that doesn't mean you'll SEE them. Some people get so wrapped up in the relationship that they DON'T notice the red flags. Here are five of the most obvious ones to look out for.
#1.) You Don't Feel Like You Can Be Yourself. If you've been together for a few months and you still don't feel like you can relax around them, then they're probably not the one.
#2.) They Make You Feel Emotionally Exhausted. In general, the person you're with should RELIEVE stress, not stress you out. And being together shouldn't feel like "work."
#3.) You Don't Want Them to Meet Your Friends. It's usually because you either know your friends won't LIKE them, or you know your friends won't like the way YOU act when you're WITH them.
--And everyone knows that if your friends don't like the person you're dating, you pretty much HAVE to break it off.
#4.) You Don't Have Much in Common. It's true that opposites sometimes attract. But that doesn't mean opposites make a good COUPLE. If you don't share any interests, you're pretty much doomed.
#5.) You're More Insecure Than You Used To Be. You'll always have certain insecurities. But if you're with the right person, you should start feeling MORE secure. If you don't, then they might be bringing down your confidence.
--Obviously don't break up with them if it's not their fault though. If you're insecure because you gained a little weight, then breaking up with them won't do any good. (--Unless they tell you you're getting fat. In that case, dump them.)
People in most parts of the world do not think about their blood group much, unless they have an operation or an accident and need a transfusion.
But in Japan, whether someone is A, B, O or AB is a topic of everyday conversation.
There is a widespread belief that blood type determines personality, with implications for life, work and love.
It is Saturday night and a speed dating session is under way in a small building in the backstreets of Tokyo.
Men and women are sitting nervously at tables hoping to find that special someone.
The room is brightly painted in red and white, the staff upbeat and enthusiastic, but the conversations are rather stilted.
The couples have just a few minutes to try to sound each other out before a bell rings and they have to move on to the next lonely single.It is a scene repeated in cities across the world but this speed dating session in Japan has a twist.
It is for women who want to meet men with blood group A or AB.
One says she decided to narrow down her search for a boyfriend after a bad experience with a man with type B.
"Looking back it seems trivial," she said. "But I couldn't help getting annoyed by how disorganised he was."
"I really would like someone with type A blood," added her friend. "My image is of someone who is down to earth, something like that."
'Burahara'
Interest in blood type is widespread in Japan, particularly which combinations are best for romance.
Women's magazines run scores of articles on the subject, which has also inspired best-selling self-help books.
The received wisdom is that As are dependable and self sacrificing, but reserved and prone to worry.
Decisive and confident - that is people with type O.
ABs are well balanced, clear-sighted and logical, but also high-maintenance and distant.
The black sheep though seem to be blood group B - flamboyant free-thinkers, but selfish.
"At the interview for my first job they asked me about my blood type," said a man with blood group B, who wanted to identify himself only as Kouichi.
"The surprise was written on my face. Why? It turned out the company president really cared. She'd obviously had a bad experience with a B type blood person. But somehow I got the job anyway."
Later, though, the issue of his blood came up again.
"The president was the kind of person who couldn't take her drink and at one company party she got drunk. So she sent B people home before the others. 'You are blood type B,' she said. 'Get out.'"
There is even a term for such behaviour in Japan, burahara, which translates as blood group harassment.
The preoccupation with blood ultimately dates back to theories of eugenics during the inter-war years.
One study compared the blood of people in Taiwan, who had rebelled against Japanese colonial rule, with the Ainu from Japan's northern island of Hokkaido, thought to be more peaceable.
Stripped of its racial overtones, the idea emerged again in the 1970s.
Debunked
Now, blood typecasting is as common as horoscopes in the West, with the whiff of science - although dubious - giving it added credibility.
Some firms organise work teams by blood type to try to ensure office harmony.
And people going on a date or meeting someone for the first time are liable to be asked: "What is your blood group?"
"This particular thing about blood types is a clever way of telling people what you think about them, but indirectly," said Jeff Kingston, professor of Asian Studies at Temple University in Japan.
"Here people don't like to be upfront and open about their opinions. So if you can hide behind blood types you can then tell someone indirectly what you think about them."
Scientists regularly debunk the blood group theory but it retains its hold - some believe because, in a largely homogenous society, it provides an easy framework to divide people up into easily recognisable groups.
The last Prime Minister, Taro Aso, even put the fact that he was a type A in his official profile on the internet.
If he had hoped that having a favoured blood group would give him a boost at the polls he was disappointed.
His owner, truck driver Michael Siau, didn't realize that Rambo had slipped out of his long-haul truck while he was stretching his legs at a rest stop in Hannibal, Mo., the Hannibal Courier-Post reports.
Siau got all the way to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, before he noticed that Rambo, whom he thought was asleep in the back, was missing.
Siau, who admits he was sobbing during the ordeal, figured the Missouri rest area as the only likely spot where Rambo could have escaped, but wasted two days by calling police in the wrong town.
Finally, three hours after ringing the Hannibal Animal Unit, Siau got a call that Rambo had been located -- sitting patiently at the rest stop waiting for him.
The pair were reunited on Siau's trip back through Missouri, the Courier-Post reports.
Ryan Seacrest's girlfriend Julianne Hough has revealed that he flirted with her while she was still in a relationship with someone else.
The Rock Of Ages actress told Glamour that the American Idol host openly chatted her up in front of her then-beau Chuck Wicks.
"While we were dating, we went on Ryan's radio show together," she said. "The interview's on YouTube, and I blush when I hear it because Ryan is hitting on me the entire time!
"At the end, Ryan said something like, 'You guys really have something special!' And I thought to myself, 'He's so full of s**t right now!'"
She continued: "When Chuck and I broke up, I wanted to be single. That lasted five months. Then Ryan and I went on a date."
The couple have a competitive streak, she explained, resulting in some unfortunate exercise incidents!
"It gets silly," she said. "Ryan and I are very alike. When we work out with a trainer, we'll die before we stop, like, to the point where we can't breathe."

Kelly Clarkson has a whole new look in 2012, a slender new figure and she has changed her haircolor to now be a blonde. Check out Kelly Clarkson's new look.
Kelly Clarkson debuted a hot, new figure with the premiere of her show Duets last week and the singer is crediting her recently slimmed bod to boyfriend, Brandon Blackstock.
"No one wants to be untoned when you're dating someone," the 30-year-old singer tells Life & Style of her motivation to get fit and trim. "I've always fluctuated, but now I'm in a happy relationship."
While Clarkson reveals her beau (who is stepson to country legend Reba McEntire) helps her stay "more active" these days, she says the two will never, ever work out together.
"We did that once," she admits. "I don't like huffin' and puffin' in front of my man and looking all red and gross and sweaty"

Beauty is Pain by Chris & The Crew,posted Jun 5 2012 9:16PM
Adele won an impressive six Grammys at the 2012 awards show, but she earned nearly as much attention for her va-va-va-voom look, which included a much-tweeted-about pair of lipsticks (one deep red, one coral) and slim figure. She's revealed the secret behind her pin-up appearance: four pairs of Spanx. Two pairs came off when she performed (fans know that Spanx can make it difficult to breathe, much less sing), but they otherwise helped her fit into a belted black Giorgio Armani gown: "I actually had another dress made and I ended up passed out in it — it had a corset, and I was like, 'I can't wear that.' So I ended up wearing this instead."

Can't decide what to get for your first (or next) tattoo?
You could flip through books at your local parlor or check out your friends' ink for inspiration.
Or, why not design your own with Instattoo for Apple's mobile devices?
Dubbed the world's first tattoo generator, Instattoo can display a number of designs, divided into one of 13 core styles -- ranging from stars and tribal patterns to Asian imagery and hieroglyphs to floral designs and shaded drawings with grayish tones.
By swiping your finger on the screen, you can rotate the design wheel to create something truly unique. Plus, you can also select from one of five different modes per style, adjust the size (from extra small to extra large) or tap the Variate button to see other kaleidoscope-like spins on the same design.
If you're feeling lazy, you can tap the ying-yang symbol for a randomly generated design, until you find something you'd like to go with or tweak. You can also pinch to zoom in or out of your design at any time.
The app maker says there are literally billions of combinations that can be created. Additional styles can be downloaded for free every week or via the in-app store. Each for 99 cents, top purchases include styles called Vardar, Sirocco and Aster.
Once you have something interesting, you can save a high-resolution image to your iPad's Camera Roll, wirelessly print a hard copy to a compatible printer or use Wi-Fi to send the design to a computer on the same wireless network. If you'd like to share your creation, you've got the option to email it or upload to sites like Facebook, Twitter, Flickr or Instagram.
Because no drawing skills are needed, this app is ideal for those who want to design their own tattoo. Too bad there's no way to input text into your design so you can see what it looks like with your loved one's name weaved into the image, a song lyric, religious scripture, or any other words you'd like to see. Perhaps this feature will be added with a future update.
Shortcoming aside, this first tattoo designer for iPad is a breeze to use and should help you create something unique to bring to your local tattoo parlor.

The editors at Match.com talked to relationship experts to get some advice on how you SHOULD and SHOULDN'T compliment a man. Apparently you have to play to their ego a little more than you do with women. Here are the top four tips they came up with.
1) Don't Say You Like His Shirt . . . Tell Him He Looks Good in It. There's a slight difference, but it's an important one: If just you say it's a nice shirt, you're complimenting his fashion sense . . . which most guys don't care much about.
--But if you tell him he LOOKS GOOD in it, you're complimenting his LOOKS, not his shirt.
2) Compliment His Friends. First, figure out what HE likes about them. Then try to echo it. For example, if he thinks one of his friends is hilarious . . . and you do too . . . let him know.
--If he know YOU think his friends are cool, HE'LL feel cool. Just don't go overboard with it or he might get jealous.
3) If He's Chivalrous and Opens Doors for You, Make a Big Deal About It. Chivalry isn't engrained in men the way it used to be. And most guys have to actively THINK about doing things like opening doors and pushing in chairs.
--So if you thank him for it and mention how most guys NEVER do stuff like that, it gives him a mini ego boost.
4) Don't Talk About How Great His Job Is . . . Tell Him He's Really Good at It. Guys like to hear how good they are at things, especially their job . . . even if they HATE it.
--But if you just started dating and tell him his JOB is great, he'll probably assume you mean it must PAY WELL. Then he'll start wondering if you're just after his money . . . even if he doesn't make very much.
Meghan and her boyfriend broke up six months ago, but she still occasionally goes out for lunch with his mother. She and her ex were close to each other's families because they dated for about four years, but when he found out about the lunch dates he flipped out. Meghan doesn't understand why he is so upset.
Is it wrong for her to still have lunch with her ex's mom?
UPDATE!
Meghan and her ex boyfriend's mother decided it was best for them to stop having lunch together to give Meghan and her ex a chance to move on.
If there's one thing I stress to my patients, it's that great skin doesn't require spending a fortune on some "miracle cream" made from rare seaweed from the Arctic Circle! It's all about simple good habits. But let's approach those habits from the opposite direction: What are the most damaging bad habits that I see time and time again?
1.Using a cleanser with harsh detergents: Many people assume that the suds of their vigorously foaming cleanser are a good sign -- surely they'll leave skin extra clean. Unfortunately, copious suds are generally a sign that your cleanser contains a harsh detergent, like lauryl sulfate, that strips skin of vital lipids. (And don't get me started on bar soap -- that is always a no-no.) Instead, look for cleansers that contain fatty acids and will actually fortify your skin, like Dove's ProAge products, or even simple cold cream. If you have particularly dry skin, I recommend cleansing oils, which remove dirt and makeup without disturbing your skin's natural protective barrier. 2.Not using a retinoid: Retinol, a form of vitamin A, is the only topical ingredient proven not only to prevent lines and wrinkles but to minimize the ones you already have. Past the age of 30, I recommend seeing a dermatologist for a higher-concentration prescription retinoid (like Retin-A, Differin, or Tazorac, for example), but there are also many great over-the-counter creams that contain lower concentrations of retinol. I like Roc Retinol Correxion Deep Wrinkle Night Cream, Neutrogena Healthy Skin Night Cream, and SkinCeuticals Retinol 1.0. 3.Spending too much on skin care: Splurging on the beautiful packaging and luxurious scents of pricey boutique skin care lines can feel wonderfully pampering -- provided you know that it's absolutely not necessary for great skin. In fact, many of my favorite products are made by drugstore brands, because those companies have the large budgets for top-notch research and development. If you have to choose, put your money toward that prescription retinoid, and buy the rest of your regimen at the drugstore. 4.Getting facials: Yes, that's right -- you can strike facials from your skin-care budget and actually be doing your skin a favor! Studies show that as many as 80% of people break out after a facial. Aestheticians often don't know which products are right for the skin of each client, and may use ingredients that can worsen acne, or essential oils that tend to irritate sensitive skin. Even if you don't break out, there are really no long-term benefits to facials. 5.Washing your face at the wrong time: Always wash your face after you rinse out your hair products and conditioner in the shower, never before. Many conditioners contain pore-clogging isopropyl myristate and other hair products often contain coconut oil -- both are common acne-causing ingredients that you don't want to leave on your skin. 6.Not using sunscreen every day: Not just for your trip to the beach. Not just during the long summer days. Every day. Yes, it's important to be even more vigilant if you plan to spend lots of time in direct sunlight. But incidental sun exposure typically accounts for more of our lifetime exposure to ultraviolet rays than those days at the beach. Walking to and from your car, dashing out of the office for a sandwich, or sitting outside for a few minutes adds up -- make sure you're covered with at least SPF 15, every day.
There are Three Main Things That Make Us Crazy About Waiting In Lines . . . and the Length of the Line Isn't One of Them
If there's one thing that ALL human beings can agree on, it's that we hate waiting in lines. Oh, and also that we're all above-average drivers. But for now, we're going to focus on the lines thing.
-A professor at MIT has studied the psychology behind why we hate waiting in lines and found there are three things that make us crazy. And believe it or not, the length of the line isn't one of them.
#1.) We get bored when we wait. It's why doctor's offices have magazines and TVs, and why amusement parks put TVs in the line.
#2.) We hate when we expect a short wait and get a longer one. This is why at Disney World they tell you "30 minutes from this spot" in a line. It's really only about 20 minutes . . . the line won't bother you as much if you feel ahead of schedule.
#3.) We really, REALLY hate when someone shows up after us but gets taken care of first. It sets off everyone's sense of INJUSTICE to the point where fights can break out.
--That's why more places like Best Buy, Wendy's, and Citibank are going with one main line that funnels people to the first available server or teller . . . rather than making people pick a line that might end up going slower.
The good thing about being single is that people are usually pretty willing to talk about your romantic life, because, let’s face it, it’s probably more entertaining than that of your seriously coupled-up friends.
The bad news? Sometimes, people will want to talk about your love life regardless of whether or not you’re in the mood to talk about it. And they will have opinions. And questions. And if you’re single for long enough, a lot of these are gonna start sounding the same… 1. “Are you seeing someone? Why not?”
Amazingly, I get this question at least once a week. At least once a week! It’s fun to turn the question around to the asker. “Why are you in a relationship?” “Because I’m in love!” “Right, well, I’m not.” End of discussion! 2. “Have you tried online dating?”
Online dating? What is this new fangled thing you speak of?
(Of course we’re online dating!) 3. “It’ll happen when you least expect it.”
The problem is, if you’re single and actively looking, then you’re always kind of expecting it. 4. “Oh my god, can I wing for you? I am such a good wingman.”
If you’re single for long enough, you become sort of a toy, a pet project for your coupled up friends. They like to parade you out to bars and insist on winging for you, which is really just a way for them to vicariously experience the “thrill” of picking someone up at a bar. The problem is that for them, it’s all about the hunt, and not at all about finding someone with whom you would actually be compatible in the long term (or even just in daylight). This means they start indiscriminately flirting with anyone in sight, ignoring the fact that you’re wildly gesticulating for them to stop, drawing your finger across your throat and making gagging noises. The end result is usually a huffy ride home (“But I set it up perfectly for you! He was so into you! He was not that bad!”) followed by the inevitable conclusion that you are single because you’re picky and obviously impervious to even the most nuanced and skillful winging. 5. “You need to put yourself out there more!”
Out where, exactly? [Whenever some helpful soul suggests this to me, I immediately picture myself in the middle of some crowded piazza, waving my arms around, saying "yooo-hoooo!"] 6. “Why don’t you join a group?”
It’s a common misconception for people to think you’re single because you just don’t have enough hobbies. 7. “You just need to ______.”
Flirt. Make eye-contact. Go out. Wear brighter colors. Tone it down. Talk more. Talk less. Dress sluttier. Act more grown up. Meet more people. Shave your beard. Stop talking about comic books. Stop talking about your cat. Be less self-deprecating. Be less intimidating. Let them see how awesome you are. Drink more. Don’t get so drunk. Make the move. Don’t shy away. Don’t be so forward. Don’t seem so desperate. Stand up straighter. Cut your hair. Grow out your hair. Be less picky. Be more discerning. Figure out exactly what you want. Make your profile funnier. Make your profile less goofy. Change your profile picture. Smile more. Go to bookstores. Go to coffee shops. Stop bringing up your ex. Stop talking to your ex. Stop thinking about your ex. Stop looking so hard. Stop trying so hard. Put a little more effort into it. Stop being so passive. Stop waiting for it to just happen. Be more confident. Go to grad school. Lower your expectations. Just have fun and date more. Get the rest of your life in order. Move to a smaller city. Move to a bigger city. Move to a different country. Stop putting so much pressure on yourself. Start making this a priority. For some reason, people will be alarmingly frank about what they think is wrong with you as long as they say it within the context of dating. 8. “It’s better to be single than to be in the wrong relationship.”
Well, yesssssssss…but it’s best to be in the right relationship, no? 9. “Wow, I am so glad I never have to be single again.”
Yes. Fabulous. I am so happy for your good fortune.
“Jake, are these your yellow socks?” It was a Wednesday night and Inez,* whom I’d been seeing for a few weeks, had come back to my apartment after a romantic dinner out. And she’d found Natalie’s socks. (From our tennis date, for the record.) Inez was amazingly laid-back about it—we hadn’t had any talks about exclusivity—but still: dumb, Jake! And then I wondered, what other clues are lying around here, or around most guys’ places? I asked the experts to decode a few. Consider yourself warned.
If: His closet is hyperorganized… Maybe he’s just: A slightly anal guy who hates to hunt for his yellow tie in the morning. But it could mean: He’ll bail if things get messy
To know for sure which, you have to consider the degree. Are his shirts color-coded? Let it go. Are the condiments in his fridge arranged from savory to sweet? Heads up: Guys who are organized in the extreme often can’t handle things outside their (small) comfort zone, says Seth Meyers, a relationship expert in Los Angeles. “If his stuff is always perfectly organized,” Meyers notes, “he may be rigid, controlling, and afraid of disorder.” Does he follow you around, tidying up? Is he short-tempered if you leave your coffee mug in the sink? Real relationships are messy, so if you’re looking for one, be wary of Mr. Clean.
If: He’s got a PS3 and an Xbox and a Wii… Maybe he’s just: A gamer who likes to relax after work with a beer and Halo 3. But it could mean: He’s not looking for anything real.
“Generally speaking,” says Douglas Weiss, president of the American Association for Sex Addiction Therapy, “if a man spends disproportionate time on video games, he probably isn’t a master of real relationships.” How much is too much? Whatever amount makes you feel neglected, Weiss says. Try coaxing your guy away from his Madden NFL and propose other activities. Say, “In half an hour, can we go grab lunch?” If he says no, or can’t tear himself away when the time is up, get your own sandwich, and possibly a new boyfriend.
If: His porn tastes are extreme and all over the map… Maybe he’s just: A guy who hasn’t had sex in a while. But it could mean: He’s a sex addict.
I’m not suggesting you check his computer history, but, well, yes, I am. “A guy who’s going from page to page of hard-core pornography,” says Weiss, “may be a guy who can’t be satiated.” Most guys enjoy porn, but if he partakes obsessively, across many genres: Avoid. “When a guy’s looking for diverse forms of stimulation, you can’t compete,” says Weiss. “You can only be one person: one size, one race—and into only so many things.”
If: He has too many photos of himself… Maybe he’s just: An artist who does self-portraits. But it could mean: He’s a psychopath.
Kidding! Kind of. Too many solo photos, or an oil painting of himself, can indicate “an overblown sense of self-worth,” says Jon Ronson, author of The Psychopath Test. Too much gold and other flashy objects suggest grandiosity and narcissism, adds Ronson. “Even if he’s not an actual psychopath, I would avoid a narcissist because he’ll be a pain in the ass,” he says. “Instead, women should stick to nerdy intellectuals, like me!” And me!
You know what I wished for on my last birthday? More cake and less candles getting in my way of shoveling cake into my cake hole. Finally, my wish came true. Check out the world’s first completely edible candle, Yum-Wick. Sure, you jaded folks out there are saying, “Puh-lease. We’ve already seen edible candles made of real chocolate.” but nuts to that I say! Yum-wick candles are different because every part is completely edible—even the wick. The candles are made from pure Belgian chocolate, covered in crystallized sugar and the wicks are made of nuts. $4
Julia got married a year ago on May 15h. Julia's friend Christina just got engaged and is planning to have her wedding on May 15th. Julia is upset that she picked this day of all days to have he wedding. Should she ask her to consider moving her date?
UPDATE!
Julia did not ask Christina to move her wedding.
After a particularly bad breakup, most of us would admit to some crazy behavior. Of course, crazy is in the eye of the beholder … or the receiver. It may start innocently enough with drunken texts, Facebook stalking or obsessing over your need for closure. Unfortunately, every once and a while, a breakup sends even the most level-headed woman into a tailspin.
According to the DSM-IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders), there are nearly 400 diagnosable mental disorders — none of which have anything to do with the sudden onset of insanity after a breakup. Even doctors can get it wrong sometimes. In 1974, the APA removed homosexuality from the DSM as a mental disorder (thank you!), and they’ve added new disorders to the list since, such as Frotteurism (behaviors involving touching and rubbing against a non-consenting person). While a bad breakup probably won’t induce Frotteurism, it can cause seemingly intelligent, beautiful, educated, wonderful women to lose control. For the DSM-V, which comes out next year, I would like to offer up a new disorder for consideration — Post-Breakup Insanity, or PBI.
PBI is defined as: A temporary psychosis brought on by the acute pain of a breakup. Symptoms of PBI will vary from person to person but may include irrational thoughts and actions, loss of contact with reality, intense stalking (virtual and physical), dissociation, obsession and other things which, once the PBI has lifted, will cause mortification and shame.
Be aware that in your PBI fugue state, many ideas will sound normal to you, great even. They aren’t. If you’ve considered doing (or have done) any of the following, you may be suffering from early onset or full-blown PBI. Call your most sane, rational girlfriend to talk you off the ledge. Go dancing, have a girl’s night, or watch “Dirty Dancing” – anything to stop the insanity as Susan Powter would say. Or seek professional help immediately. You are not alone. Many of us have experienced PBI in some form or another. Below are some PBI behaviors to give diagnosticians (and you) a frame of reference.
1. You follow him. I’m not talking about following him on Twitter. I’m talking getting in your car and following him. Maybe following him after he exits a club with a girl, to see if he takes her home.
2. You leave his cell phone number or email address in random bathrooms. Especially at gay bars across the city inviting people to call. You’re severely at risk if you find this hilarious and tell everyone about it so that it will get back to him.
3. You create a fake Facebook page using a random model’s picture. You may even try to tailor the fake profile to your ex’s college/likes/clubs/friends in the hope that he’ll friend your fake persona so that you can stalk him and the life he wants to lead without you more comfortably.
4. You show up unannounced on his doorstep to “talk,” multiple times. While TV and rom coms make this look acceptable, in real life it’s awkward and weird. If he lives with roommates, expect them to say things like, “Yeah, she just showed up. It was pathetic. “She’s so psycho,” when describing you.
5. You hope that you might be pregnant with his child. Because that will be a great way to get him back!
6. You buy a one-way ticket to his city. The long-distance thing might might have been the reason he dumped you inexplicably. Arriving in his city unannounced is a great idea because surely if he saw your face he’d remember how much he loves you. Probably not.
7. You leave 10+ voicemail messages or 20+ text messages in one night. One is too many. Ten is unforgivable.
8. You damage his car. Keying, baseball bat bashing, or any activity Carrie Underwood sings about sounds like a good idea when you’re suffering from PBI. It will only result in a police record.
9. You write him a song to win him back. Variations on this theme may include recording a song and playing it on his voicemail, playing a recording of “your” song together into the phone. Singing said song slowly and between sobs on his phone while drunk.
10. You send him naked or semi-naked pictures of yourself. Because surely he’s forgotten how sexy you are. Nope, he hasn’t forgotten. He just isn’t interested in your naked body anymore, and now he’ll just show his friends your tits and maybe leak them on the internet.

Dos and Don't for Going Braless
DON'TS:
-Don't wear silk or the really light-weight fabrics. Though it feels soft against the skin, it will easily show nipples or the bumps caused by pasties.
-Don't rely on cotton, either. It tends to wick moisture, but the fiber holds the dampness and doesn't evaporate it like a technical material; instead, look for clothing made out of microfibers or bamboo.
-Don't wear clothes with boat-neck or flowy, loose-fitting tops— you are more likely to have a wardrobe malfunction when bending or reaching down.
-Don't go braless in a tube top or strapless dress if you are busty (full C or D cup and above). Your breasts will get compressed and have a sinking look to them. "It's not the most attractive scenario."
-Don't go braless in inappropriate scenarios, especially in a professional or work setting. Always use the rules of common sense.
DOS:
-Do wear halter tops and dresses that you can tie yourself, especially if you are bigger breasted. This way, you can decide on the level of support you're getting.
-Do go for clothes with under-bust support like empire dresses; they are the most friendly for going braless.
-Do wear sunscreen because the skin on the décolletage is angled up to the sun and the skin there is very thin and more sensitive.
-Do take good care of adhesives; wash them with lingerie soap. When washing and drying bras, always hook clasps together. It helps prevent the hooks from getting caught on other items in the machine and also helps keep it from stretching so it maintains it original shape.
-Do know that all women's breasts are different. Breasts aren't just flat or round, and nipples aren't just innies or outies. Going braless will be a different experience for everyone, and all women should be accepting of that.
If that weren't enough, the commitment to achieving beach body "bliss" is further cemented by the endless gym and vacation ads of "perfect" silhouettes plastered everywhere.
But not all women are slinking into bikini season trying to lose weight. If you need some affirmation that women of all sizes and shapes can rock a stylish two-piece, check out XOJane's gallery of women in swimwear. Because at the end of the day, women should be able to enjoy the beach and their sex lives.
The String Bikini- 74 percent were fans of the triangles-and-string ensemble, while 26 percent thought it looked too revealing and left little to the imagination.
The Standard Two-Piece
Guys' most favored suit was the basic two-piece bikini. 91 percent approval rating among men (and several said the look most closely resembled women in bras and panties...). Only 9 percent didn't like the cut.
The Monokini
Only 22 percent liked the look. The most common response of the 78 percent who hated it? "I don't get it."
The Tankini
53 percent liked the look, while 47 percent didn't. A few even compared the concept as being synonymous to men wearing T-shirts in the pool.
The One-Piece Swimsuit
65 percent prefer the look, as opposed to only 35 percent who don't. The only rule? Some men said they like the style as long as it's still sexy and doesn't look like the woman is trying out for the Olympic swim team.
The High-Fashion Bikini
Only 17 percent liked them, while 83% were mystified that the garments could even hold up in water.
‘Divorce Hotel’ Lets You End Your Marriage In Style
By: Carl Pettit | 2 days ago
Divorce is almost always a sad affair. No matter what the reasons are for the break-up, there are usually hurt feelings and uncertainties about changes in life, the division or property and how to best take care of the children, if there are any.
The Dutch, in all of their ingenuity, have come up with a novel concept. In Amsterdam and The Hague, there is a company that now offers a service where couples can check into a stylish “Divorce Hotel.”
Instead of taking advantage of the usual 5-star amenities found in most luxury hotels, the Divorce Hotel offers up an “affordable 5-star divorce, made-to-measure.” How it works is pretty straightforward. The pair ready to end their relationship checks into one of the company’s hotels, and then goes through a three-day process. By the end of their stay, they are divorced.
The service is staffed with lawyers and mediators, as well as psychologists, to deal with both the legal and the emotional ramifications of the divorce. And from a strictly business perspective, this type of hotel makes a lot of sense. The costs lawyers, mediators and others rake in from the divorce profession in America alone are in the multibillions.
A stay in the Divorce Hotel may be no picnic in the park, but at least you’ll have an expert staff there that is aware of your needs, ready to pamper you and help you through this painful process. And if that weren’t enough, a reality TV show based on this concept just might be on the way too.
Diana's boyfriend is 42 and she's 25. They are so in love but the age gap plays a huge role in their relationship. She thinks the age gap will kill their relationship. What do you think?
UPDATE!
They have been spending more time together and not focusing so much on the age difference.
There is a new app on Facebook called Dead Social where you can pay a fee of $500 and any messages you wanna send to your loved ones after you've died will be sent! Would you do this?
The website BadOnlineDates.com did a survey on cheating. 19% of people would cheat on their partner for $5,000, and 31% thought cheating was sometimes okay. Here's the verdict on what is and isn't considered cheating on your partner:
#1.) Getting a lap dance: NOT CHEATING. Only 2.4% thought that counts as being unfaithful.
#2.) Watching porn alone: NOT CHEATING. Only 2.4% thought it was cheating.
#3.) Using a blow-up doll: NOT CHEATING. 4.8% said it was cheating.
#4.) Thinking about someone else during sex: MAYBE. 42.9% thought it was emotional betrayal if not outright cheating.
#5.) Kissing someone while drunk: CHEATING. 61.9% said it was cheating.
(--If this sounds familiar, it's because we told you about a different survey a few months ago, with similar results.)
