Sawyer and Kate are the sexiest couple on Lost, 110% due to Sawyer’s Shirtless Chest, but after last night’s episode, it is confirmed that Desmond and Penny are the cutest. She’s his constant! Agh! So amazing. Just in case you haven’t seen it, I won’t give too much away (Ha! like I even know what is going on!), but let’s just say that Desmond is having some time travel issues. Penelope Widmore to the rescue! [ABC: Lost]
Muggers, don’t mess with Yudelka Polanco! The 16-year old was walking home in Brooklyn, NY, when a juvenile delinquent snuck up behind her and stole her cell phone, which was equipped with a SIM card. When Yudelka later bought another phone, she had her information from that SIM card transferred to her new phone. Within those contacts, the mugger’s email address showed up because the idiot had used her phone to check his email. Doh!
Oh the joys of getting dressed before a date—the plotting, the scrutinizing, the constant need for re-assurance from your friends that you look hot and not in any way slutty, the hours in front of a mirror, the Polaroid pics (how can anyone forget Cher’s over-the-top first-date precautions in Clueless?)…
Maybe you don’t go quite as far as these extremes—or maybe you go embarrassingly beyond—the point is, any girl would be lying if she didn’t admit to at least a slight amount of neurosis regarding this process. But lighten up, ladies, because as I recently discovered, sometimes the perfect date-night outfit can emerge accidentally on its own.

We sent our girl Lori out to ask people on the street (including Keenyah from America’s Next Top Model!) for their opinion on the ever important topic of how often healthy couples should be doin’ it. So what do you think?
While the Italian Court of Appeals has got its defendants by the balls, they just brought their fist down on every fellow countrymens’. In a landmark case involving a mechanic being sued for what he claimed was merely jock itch, the court ruled that it is indecent to grab your junk in public. Although the judgment seems like polite common sense, superstitious Italian men grab their crotch for the same reason many Americans knock on wood. For instance, it’s used to ward off misfortune when a hearse passes. Crotch-grabbing has even got its own motto in Italy —“Lo mi tocco…” which literally means, “I touch my...” but is mostly slang for “fingers crossed.” Sadly, grabbing his crotch didn’t ward off bad luck for the mechanic who was fined 1200 Euros for rubbing the magic lamp in his pants.

Smart women, like good strippers, know how to market themselves and Diablo Cody has found more ways to turn a buck than pasties with tassels. The Academy Award Winning screenwriter of Juno, who sauntered up to accept her award with skull earrings, a sexy lady tattoo, and a leopard print dress with a slit up her thigh, wants to scare the establishment even more. For Cody’s next projects, she’ll be writing a horror flick, teaming up with Steven Spielberg to make a series for Showtime, and will also be writing another memoir. Guaranteed this new one will have a happy ending! [USA Today]
After years of back-and-forth, sleeping in two places, bringing a bag to work and trying to schedule my week so I know I’ll be sleeping at my girlfriend’s place at least one night, I caved. I’m moving in with her. Ballgame OVER.
Because we’re such bookworms (occasionally with questionable taste, if I’m being honest), each month we’ll be giving out recommendations for what to read when you’re not watching America’s Next Top Model. Enjoy!

I have a total thing for Daniel Day-Lewis. Yes, he has questionable style. But he’s also possibly the most amazing actor ever, which is especially impressive considering he left acting for a few years to become a cobbler in Italy. Did you know that? So cool. He’s sexy and manly, but obviously very much in touch with his feminine side, which explains the piercings in both ears and the somewhat fey use of scarves. Most of all, he seems like a really nice, genuine, unpretentious guy, which is rare amongst the best actors (look at Russell Crowe!). After the jump, a video from the press room interviews after the Academy Awards on Sunday, where Day-Lewis explains why he smooched George Clooney after winning and gives his impression of the rampant cult usage of his “I drink your milkshake, I drink it up"-line from There Will Be Blood. Which reminds me—the guy totally has a great sense of humor.

Japan’s “love hotels” aren’t smutty, by-the-hour businesses solely used for forbidden romances. Igyeon Kim, who recently published the book The Evolution of Love Hotels, found that the hotels have diversified due to fierce competition. Here are some of the main trends:
Resort-like: We think this might mean lovely, tranquil settings as opposed to ones with fluorescent lighting and red walls.
Amenity goods: “Women care about their make-up and hairstyle before leaving the hotel,” Japan Today reported.
Gorgeous baths: Because everyone wants to get clean after they get dirty.
Amusement: According to the article, the average stay in a love hotel used to be about two hours. Now, people are staying more than four hours. “This could be because women like to relax after sex,” Japan Today reported. “For this, love hotels recently have added audio facilities such as big-screen TVs, DVD players, video games, etc.,” which seem more for the guy’s use than the woman’s.

A new French perfume by Etat Libre d’Orange called Sécrétions Magnifiques smells just like what the name suggests it takes—a combo of blood, sweat, and spit. [No tears?—Editor] Although the scent alone is enough to trigger your gag reflex, the $150 price tag will probably do that too. The perfume has been selling at Harvey Nichols, the favorite high-end department store of Absolutely Fabulous‘ Patsy and Edina, but has just hit the American market at Henri Bendel. Kudos to Antoine Lei, who created the scent that flies in the face of what perfume is even used for—a fresh, pleasant smell to mask body odors. But gosh, doesn’t everything sound super chic in French? [The Sun U.K.]
David Duchovny, aka Mulder, and Gillian Anderson, aka Scully, were both looking hot and cool at WonderCon, the comic convention in San Francisco, yesterday. They reunited to talk about the highly-anticipated, better-late-than-never, X-Files film. Although maybe it was a little TMI, since Gillian Anderson admitted to wishing they would get an “auto-erotic asphyxiation” plot line—like attending a sci-fi convention wasn’t fetishy enough. In addition to the usual suspects, the film, set to be released in July, will also feature rapper Xzibit and actress Amanda Peet. While they didn’t reveal much about the script, writer Chris Carter promises, “It will scare the pants off you. And you’ll get to see Mulder and Scully in a whole new way.” Well, after Duchovny’s hit sexy series Californication, Showtime has already beaten the X-Files movie to the naked punch (no pun intended). But there’s at least one mystery left to solve: David Duchovny, why won’t you love me? [Geek Sugar]

This week everyone is talking about leap year day and women proposing. The March 10th issue of Us Weekly discusses female celebrities who proposed to their men—though they didn’t necessarily wait for a leap year to do it. Halle Berry proposed to David Justice in 1992. Britney Spears proposed to Kevin Federline in 2004. Pink proposed to Carey Hart in 2005. Are ya seeing a pattern?
Online dating is more popular than ever! Just like the movie and music industry, it’s getting into the wallets (and pants) of niche markets, as dating sites are getting as particular as their clients. Are our top five picks for going indie online, after the jump…
Living inside the Big Brother house is a bit like living life in fast-forward: so much more drama goes down in the span of one week than could ever go down in a year in a non-reality show star’s life. Frankly, the game itself (i.e. the “couples” vying for the million dollar prize) is not even the reason to watch, and frankly, the show itself isn’t worth watching either, considering that every moment of life inside the house is available through the Big Brother live feeds. These feeds are watched, transcribed, and posted in text and video form on quite a few blogs, so I’ve been doing most of my BB-obsessing online. So what’s gone down this week since we last left off? Find out, after the jump…

Paris Hilton, 27, recently lamented to In Touch, “I never got to go to college.” Aw, poor Paris. Couldn’t get student loans or Swarovski just couldn’t rhinestone all those books? But, like an heiress, she’s found a lucrative and public way to duplicate this rite of passage on a new reality show in which she’ll try to find a new BFF. Paris plans on making up for lost time by filling a mansion with girls so she can have the college experience. “This will be my chance to be in a sorority,” she said eagerly. As anyone with a degree knows, “sorority” is code for “gay until graduation.” Maybe she wasn’t just testing the lesbian waters with Elisha Cuthbert back in January. “I’m really excited about this concept — I’m going to meet a lot of great girlfriends,” said Paris, who will capture all the panty raids on tape for MTV.

Ever wonder why a box of Raisinets costs, like, $5 at the movie theater when you can get them for $2 at a convenience store? Well, charging so much on snacks is what keeps the price of movie tickets down, according to researchers at the University of California Santa Cruz and Stanford University. If popcorn were free, ticket prices would go up 25 percent. And at that price, we would all buy the DVD and microwave popcorn and stay at home—at least our cuddling wouldn’t be hindered by annoying armrests. [San Jose Mercury News]
A classical music ensemble will be performing “Sex Music” in NYC next Friday, March 7. The musicians will explore music’s erotic side with songs such as Salome’s “Dance of the Seven Veils” and Frank Zappa’s “G-Spot Tornado.” At one point, the solo bassist will even sing, hum, and whisper to his instrument. Hot. [City Guide]

Janet Jackson released her 10th album, Discipline, on Tuesday, and while it has gotten some not-so-good reviews, Janet has staying power. She released her first record back in 1986, incited many grade-school girls to dance to “Rhythm Nation” or “Escapade” at a talent show, and forced us all get in touch with our sappy, emotional side when she breathed the lyrics to “Again.” Today, she’s back to looking amazing, rockin’ bod and all (we’re not so sure about the super streaky highlights or semi-wavy hair but LOVE her with bangs). Not only that, but Janet doesn’t mind making fun of herself to get a laugh. See her star in an mock episode of My Super Sweet 16 after the jump.
