We can’t figure out how Yankee shortstop Derek Jeter shaves his face without a mirror. That’s 100 percent talent. [6/30/2008, Times Square, New York City]

I saw Wall-E this weekend, and one of the more remarkable aspects of the movie is that throughout whole chunks of it, only two works are spoken: “Wall-E” and “Eve”, the names of the two main robots. Even though they are said perhaps a hundred times throughout the 97-minute movie, characters intonate the two names to convey different emotions. For example, when Eve thinks she has lost Wall-E, she says, “Wall-eeeeee,” and when Wall-E says “Eve-uh,” it almost sounds like he’s whining the way a dog does when it wants a treat. It’s amazing how humans (and robots, apparently) can say things without actually speaking the words.

Anne Hathaway, so polite, so proper. She’s never so much as flashed a nipple or blinged a crunk cup. The girl is squeaky clean. But beneath her well-mannered exterior beats the heart of a secret spy. In a case of life imitating art, but better, Agent 99 is sleuthing her own life story and snitching too. Anne just played her dapper long-term boyfriend, Raffaello Follieri, for a fool.  After years of loving him, she realized he was a dirty thief. He stole money from her charity and had plans to rob the Vatican, posing as the Pope’s CFO! Whoa. But this classic case of good girl going for bad boy ends well, thanks to some FBI involvement. She bravely turned him into the feds, but saved face and stayed with him while they investigated his schemes. Damn, she can act! It’s hard enough to survive an awful public break-up, but who knew behind the scenes little Annie Hathaway could take a bite outta crime? [Dlisted]

There comes a time (hopefully many) in every woman’s life when you’re finally one-on-one with a guy you’re hot for and are ready for him to resuscitate your love life with some serious mouth-to-mouth.  But how do you let him know you want him, you want him so bad, it’s driving you mad?  While some morons, er, dating gurus think smiling, touching his arm, leaning in etcetera, will help send him signals, that type of flirting went out with corsets and bustles. This is the 21st Century and even love has more buttons to push and you can push ‘em all! Don’t confuse him with clues when you can give him something he can feel.  So forget subtlety, here’s how to really get what you want, after the jump…

Even though I have tried to wear perfume (Coco Chanel once said, “A woman who doesn’t wear perfume has no future."), scents seem to fall off my skin, and I have basically given up on smelling nice. Perfume blog The Fragrance Fanatic just posted some tips for making your perfume or eau de toilette stay put, but the whole process seems a little too product- and time-intensive to incorporate into my morning routine.

Want to be wrinkle-free with a rack like casaba melons?  You could be pretty forever, thanks to the fountain of youth that are stems cells. Australia just lifted its ban on cloning embryos in the hopes that this research will have many cosmetic, and not just medical, benefits.  In the U.S., the National Cancer Institute has focused its attention and money on finding a way breasts can be regrown from fat tissue and in Japan, this method has already seen some success. But the promises don’t stop at boobs—in addition, stem cells will be able to help you regrow your own teeth, hair, and skin. Unfortunately for Donatella Versace, the research is just beginning and conclusive findings, not to mention available benefits, won’t be available for awhile. [ABC News]

If closets could speak, I think they would say a big thank you to Sienna Miller for rescuing them from a life of terminal boring-ness and providing them with a wealth of fabulous items. Thanks to her eclectic, avant-garde, anything-goes style, Sienna has cultivated a signature status as one of the world’s most celebrated style icons, one which she has kept firmly intact pretty much since the first time she ever graced a red carpet. That’s why I’m using her as my muse for this week’s Stylehiving, drawing inspiration from the super-chic ensemble she recently sported while promoting her new flick The Edge of Love during the Edinburgh International Film Festival.

You might think the Bible wouldn’t have much sex in it, it being a religious book and all, but Time magazine points out that there are quite a few passages that deal with people doing it. Our favorite from their selection: “While the king was on his couch, my nard gave forth its fragrance.” [Time]

Ahh, Glastonbury, the ultimate U.K. musical festival where regular folk hobnob with Kate Moss and risk getting punched in the face by Amy Winehouse. How we wish we could have gone and hung out this past weekend, checking out performances by everyone from Duffy to Jay-Z. Unforch, we will have to settle for the next best thing...the slideshow after the jump. Tally-ho!

Long hair is a major trend for young men these days, with Kate Hudson’s son, Ryder, as its poster child. Personally, I think little boys with long hair look like girls, but once they’ve gone through puberty, that’s another story (Smith Jerrod on SATC before he shaved his head, anyone?). Amelia and I were discussing how guys with longish hair (shoulder length or shorter) can be very attractive, as long as they take care of it. I asked a friend of mine who has long hair for his rationale for growing his hair out. “I never set out to ‘have long hair,’ I just stopped getting it cut,” he said. “I liked it more and more the longer it got—it just kind of “fit” (And it became much more practical when it got to ponytail length.) Most guys who find long hair appealing already have the requisite style and personality to pull it of, so it usually works out. Oh, and the ladies love it. Really.”

What do you think about guys with long hair? And is there an age after which it becomes unacceptable for a guy to have longer hair? Tell us what you think in the comments. [Chicago Tribune]

“I have been the most religious person since I was 2 years old. I always felt this crazy connection to God....

Nicole Kidman is getting ready to give birth, and she’s making preparations besides practicing her breathing. A source said Nicole has been putting together a music mix to listen to during her labor, and it includes songs by her husband, Keith Urban, and Irish flautist Sir James Galway. “Whenever you go to her house, she has Galway on,” said the source. “There is one Prokofiev sonata that is her favorite.” We’re not sure we’d want to enter the world listening to this, but we’re not the ones popping out the baby.

I love the idea of adapting out-of-season things for the current season. This plaid screams winter, but is actually the perfect sun dress with a lightweight cotton fabric. And it gets better—the dress has hidden side pockets, just in case you need a place to store last year’s stocking stuffers. [$48, Kimchi & Blue at UrbanOutfitters.com]

The trailer for Quantum of Solace, the new James Bond film, has finally arrived. Daniel Craig is back as Bond, and is on a revenge mission. He makes revenge extremely sexy and I, for one, am seriously hot for the morose, brooding Bond, as opposed to the debonaire, sleek, party boy that Pierce Brosnan portrayed. Anyway, check out the trailer, after the jump…

For most people, Halloween is either an excuse to look like a slut or it’s an opportunity to look as stupid as possible. Either way, it’s all about appearances, and, ultimately about getting attention from them.

On Halloween last year, I had parked myself firmly in Camp Slut, arriving to my costume party as a bride left at the altar—one, of course, with a very skimpy wedding dress. By the end of the evening, I was playing the part quite well because I was literally living it. I sat alone in a corner of the room, pissed because no boy had come to my rescue. Then, like a scene in a movie, the crowd parted, and out of it emerged a tall, thin man with wispy blond hair, heading straight toward me. Corey was, in a word, beautiful. (Even with a slashed t-shirt and fake blood smeared over his face and collarbone).

Corey wasn’t hot. Hot is for David Beckham and Brad Pitt. With his angelic face and creamy skin, he was a bit unreal, as if he had just stepped out of a Botticelli painting. I was instantly infatuated.

A study conducted by author Joan Sauers for her new book, Sex Lives of Australian Women, found that 20 percent of Australian women have admitted to having a sexual encounter in an internet chatroom. “As a society, we increasingly rely on technology to get the job done, whatever the job is,” she writes in the book. Along with internet sex, women are also into text and webcam sex. About 70 percent of women in their 20s had engaged in sexual text message exchanges, and 22 percent had been filmed while having sex. But most weren’t too happy with the videos and were less than satisfied with their screen presence. “It was fine, but to tell you the truth ... watching it again was hilarious ... not erotic ... my arse was NOT ever meant to be on a tape,” said one 33 year old. Now, how have you incorporated technology into your sex life? [Sify]

Cancer (June 21-July 22)
A more spontaneous you will be out and ready to party like it’s 2999. Let your impetuous tastes lead you were they may, even despite the fact that your mind will be reeling from the pace. Sure, you’ll have lots of paranoias to deal with as you live it up, but as long as you can justify your time by being happy, does anything else really matter?
