Make no mistake...

The "Loves" That Flavor Flav Begat

No television channel owes more to a failed relationship than Vh1. The "adult" music channel, which targets an audience from 18 - 34 years old, is enjoying a historic run unlike any in cable (or network) TV history. And who's it all because of? A former revolutionary crackhead and a has-been Danish model. Never has a relationship been so influential to television...

Winter Blahs Are Almost Over

Beach weather is only about 40 days away, people, it's okay, calm down, calm down. I hear it's snow flurries in Nashville, while in the ATL is a chilly 40 degrees. But soon enough, soon enough, we'll all be able to thaw out and chillax in the sun at the beach. Then you can actually get in the water ... then you too can have naps like this on your neck. LO...

Lips make a person.It's been said that most people can get away with funny colored eyes, perhaps an odd shaped nose, but lips? You gotta have some presentable lips in a functioning society.

Obama Doll Scary As Mutha

I don't know, maybe it's my childhood coulrophbia (fear of clowns). Maybe it's just me, but this Obama doll is just too life-like. Anything that is fake but too realistic, just gives me the creeps.

Adult Sexting: Cool?

'Sexting' did not exist when I was in middle school or even high school. The dating game has changed. Used to be, you had to actually know (face to face contact) a person to talk to them. Now, you can text them something cool and just wait. But what happens when said high schooler becomes a collegiate indeed a young adult? Those same crafty skills and appetite...

Study: Pear-Shaped Booties Better Than Apple-shaped

'The apple shape is more dangerous." That's the actual quote that jumps out at you from a new study about disease linked to body shape. First of all what is it with these doctors and food analogies for the human anatomy? What's next, banana-shaped penises over celery-shaped?
