“The guy I’m dating now, who is so awesome, is not my typical fare. He’s really skinny. Usually I like pudgy, macho-ish guys. But I think I mistook macho-ish for strong, emotionally. And I think it’s really the opposite.  think he’s the first guy in a decade who’s given me any kind of compliment, like saying I’m pretty or anything.”

After winning top honors at the Screen Actors Guild Awards and Golden Globes, Sandra Bullock received her first Oscar nomination this year for “The Blind Side.” But she’s already convinced she’s not bringing the little man home. “I’m so not winning an Oscar,” said the feisty brunette. “Nine times out of ten I always pick who’s going to win. And I already know who’s going to win.” Hmmm ... sounds like she’s using a little reverse psychology, doesn’t it? [People]

Still, I’m sorta digging Bullock’s self-deprecation. Over the years, a few of her fellow movie-makers have made similar pronouncements. Let’s see how it turned out for them.

Playgirl went completely digital last month, but (un)fortunately, they geared up the printing presses recently for an issue with Levi Johnston on the cover. However, you still don’t get to see what enticed Bristol Palin so many months ago. [Dlisted]

If you’ve been to bars in major metropolitan cities, chances are you’ve come into contact with a “pickup artist”: a dude who is trying to get your number by following a script. Whether he learned about pickup artistry from Neil Strauss’s book The Game or that VH1 show, “The Pickup Artist,” the guy macking on you is focused on one goal — getting women, including you, into bed.

But the opposite is not true in a “pickup artist school” for women: in fact, London’s Flirt Diva Academy focuses mainly on flirting. According to “flirt coach” Sue Ostler, flirtation is “lighting the spark to your personality and letting people see it shine through” and her Flirt Diva Academy services women ages 16 to 60 in classes like “Bag A Boyfriend” and the “Flirt Masterclass.” Or they can partake in a “Flirt, Schmooze & Shimmy” tour to hone their technique in the field at London’s hottest bars.
