Katy Perry wants to let everyone know that her legs are not going to stay closed. In a recent press orgy, she announced that she would prefer death to a year of celibacy, capitalizing on her celebrity for a free woman-seeking-male advertisement. Who needs CraigsList when you have gossip rags?

Whatever Happened to the Sponge?

Published by under Relationships

Elaine Looks for the Sponge

Remember the Seinfeld episode where there was a shortage on sponges? We’re not talking the kitchen cleaning variety but rather those magical contraceptives that Elaine covets.

The birth control must-have created a dire situation for our Elaine Bennis when they suddenly go AWOL and she’s forced to decide who is truly “spongeworthy.”

Here’s a little reminder:

My question is, what happened to the sponge?

CosmOhNo: Looking Skinny Is Just A Few Eyebrow Hairs Away

Published by under Beauty Buzz

Eyebrows

In CosmOhNo, we’ll take a look at the advice a certain female magazine shares and shake our heads in amazement.

This is about a week old, but I just saw it and couldn’t help but share. A recent Cosmo blog post discusses tips on how to look skinnier in the new year. The secret is apparently less tweezing.

Yup, a brow guru (he must have studied many years to reach this level of perfection) told the magazine editor that having the right brow shape can make your face look thinner.

Britney Slips Curse Into “If You Seek Amy,” Surprises All With Spelling Skills

Published by under Entertainment

Britney Spears

Say “If you seek Amy” ten times fast.

Now do you feel dirty?

Perhaps you should, says the Parents Television Council. This prudish organization regularly goes to war over profanity and our favorite pop tart Britney Spears is the target of their newest battle.

The organization is urging radio stations not to play BritBrit’s newest single during the hours of 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. because that’s when young, innocent ears are listening. According to PTC, “If You Seek Amy” violates the broadcast indecency law because, get this, if you say the title quickly it kinda sorta sounds a little like maybe you’re spelling out the F-word.

It’s Just Science: Rich Men Are Better In Bed

Published by under Relationships

Sex and Money

In the bedroom, it really is all about size… the size of his checking account that is.

A new study suggests that wealthy men are better between the sheets, giving women more of those coveted orgasms. Thomas Pollet and Daniel Nettle conducted the research based on information gathered from The Chinese Health and Family Life Survey, though they say it’s not only Chinese people that the phenomenon affects.

I’d certainly be interested in finding out how much money Pollet and Nettle are netting.

Boob Tube: The Women of Top Chef Hit Rock Bottom

Published by under Entertainment

Top Chef Restaurant Wars

In every edition of Boob Tube, we’ll tackle the ins and outs of what’s on TV.

I’ll admit right now this may turn into somewhat of a rant. But I can’t help it – must all of the females on Top Chef be absolutely horrible? Jamie is the lone exception – she’s only sometimes kind of horrible. Then again, previews for next week do not bode well for our last remaining member of the mighty Rainbow Coalition.

Back to this week and, yes, *spoiler alerts* are ahead. Last night brought us the famous restaurant wars where the contestants must accomplish in just one day what it takes regular restaurateurs months and months to take a stab at. That means our Top Chefers must plan a menu, decorate a dining area and serve guests all the while trying not to screw everything up. Needless to say both teams struggled.

Sasha and Malia Obama Become Dolls, Go Through Puberty Fast

Published by under Off the Press

Sasha and Malia Obama Dolls

On Tuesday, I eagerly anticipated seeing Sasha and Malia Obama all dolled up for the big inauguration. Now, little girls around the country can have their very own Sasha and Malia dolls everyday.

TY, the makers of that craze of all crazes Beanie Babies, have turned their attention from cute plush animals to primped plush teens. And somehow that includes the Obama daughters.

There’s just something about “Sweet Sasha” and “Marvelous Malia” that doesn’t sit quite right. Could it be that the dolls age the real girls by a good few years, slap on pink lipstick and add some boobs? Yes, maybe that’s it…
