Romantic Comedies Aren’t The Only Fiction That Will Ruin Your Life

Annika HarrisDecember 16, 2008 //

A recent study found that fans of romantic comedies have unrealistic expectations of their life and relationships and often have trouble communicating with their partners. Rom-com devotees have an unrealistic idea that fate determines love, that the love-of-their-life should know what they want without them having to say it, and that sex with the right person will always be spectacular. We’re not surprised by the findings of this study, but we’d like to add a couple other fiction genres that we think have similar effects on life. Keep reading »

Thoughts From Guys On Our IM: Doing It & Thinking About Doing It

Amelia McDonell-ParryDecember 16, 2008 //

There’s a commonly held belief that men are always thinking about sex. Always. I actually think women think about sex almost as often, though not necessarily in the same ways. But another accepted belief is that dudes would have sex all the time, if given the choice — I wasn’t sure if that was true, so I decided to needle the guys on my IM about these two topics — how often they’d like to do it and how often they’re thinking about doing it. While I wasn’t entirely surprised by their answers, I was fascinated. Find out why, after the jump… Keep reading »

Brody Jenner’s New Tattoo

Catherine StrawnDecember 16, 2008 //

Brody Jenner doesn’t make the best decisions, but starring in a show called “Bromance” isn’t his worst choice yet. A source told the website Scandalist that he and his girlfriend, 2008 Playmate of the Year Jayde Nicole, have gotten each other’s initials tattooed on the inside of their lower lips. At least inner-lip ink is discreet enough that Brody’s next Playmate might not notice. [BuzzFeed] Keep reading »

“Twilight” Sequel News: Actors Battle For Jacob Black

Annika HarrisDecember 16, 2008 //

Summit Studio can’t seem to save the “Twilight” drama for the screen. Chris Weitz replacing Catharine Hardwicke as director isn’t the only shake up for the “Twilight” sequel, “New Moon.” As we reported last week, the studio still isn’t sure baby-faced Taylor Lautner should continue to play Jacob Black, who is much bigger and beefier in the remaining books. Weitz and author Stephenie Meyer recently released statements explaining the casting drama. But neither statements confirmed Lautner’s return. In fact, a rep from Summit said, “The casting decision in regards to the character Jacob Black has yet to be made.” We now hear that Weitz is considering 26-year-old Michael Copon, the actor from the “Scorpion King 2,” for the new role of Jacob. Can you hear me screaming in agony? As I’m reading, New Moon, I picture Lautner and only Lautner as Jacob. However, Copon seems determined to land this role. And has even began self-advertising by changing his Facebook status to: “Michael Copon in a Twilight Zone!” But don’t count Lautner out yet because his agent has a plan to show Summit how a digitally beefed-up Lautner could work as the new Jacob. As if the Jacob drama wasn’t enough, another actor, Ben Barnes from “The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian,” is jockeying for the role of Aro. And guess what? Barnes has the same manager as Copon and Cam Gigandet, who played James in “Twilight.” Shady![Perez Hilton] Keep reading »

We’ve already seen major designers’ sketches showing what they think Michelle Obama should wear to the Inaugural Ball, but we can’t forget the man of the hour and his wardrobe choices, now can we? WWD asked a handful of menswear designers for Inauguration Day and Night outfits for Barack Obama, who will certainly look dapper in whatever he chooses — after all, he’s been on more magazine covers than most supermodels. Above, a few of our favorite options. [WWD]

7 Excuses For Getting Out Of Anal Sex

SimchaDecember 16, 2008 //

According to Amelia, anal sex is one of the things men love that women just don’t understand. Well, guys love the booty and they love doin’ the butt even more than chicken wings, gadgets, and boobies combined! While Dr. V has been teaching all of us how to have anal sex, not everyone is down for that kind of lesson. Now I don’t want to seem uptight, I know it’s perfectly safe and, in some cases, really effective. But personally, I’ve already been schooled in anal and although I flunked the final exam, I refuse to retake the class again, if you know what I mean. So, here’s how I’ve gotten out of doing that kind of homework over the years with my “7 Excuses To Get Out Of Anal Sex”:

1. Birth Defect: This one is my infallible favorite. How’s he going to question a medical problem in your tush? Most guys won’t ask for all the gory details because it sounds like a whole mess of TMI. Although, if you’re dating a doctor, you may want to go with options #2 through #7 (especially #6).

Poll: Would Your Relationship Suffer If He Lost His Job?

Catherine StrawnDecember 16, 2008 //

When the two people in a relationship make vastly different incomes, things can get tricky — just yesterday Wendy told us how she felt trapped in a past relationship because she didn’t make enough money to live on her own. Things could soon be flipped, though; According to the U.S. Department of Labor, there are 1.1 million fewer men working this year than last year, but 12,000 more women are working. How would you feel if your boyfriend lost his job but you were still employed? [Lemondrop] Keep reading »

Girl Talk: The Thrill Of Sexual Tension

Natalie KrinskyDecember 16, 2008 //

My new favorite show is called “Gavin & Stacey.” It’s a British show on the BBC about a cute guy named Gavin and a cute girl named Stacey who work and live in Essex and Wales, respectively. They meet when they’re forced to talk to one another on the phone for work. Finally, after six months of pining, they agree to meet in person. After much nervousness and baited breath and pacing and primping, they discover they’re totally and completely in love and live happily ever after, with only a few hiccups because of their neurotic but hilarious families and friends. Gavin and Stacey heart each other. Keep reading »

Wife With A Life: Our First Christmas

Claire ZulkeyDecember 16, 2008 //

After almost six years, a wedding, and a house, there aren’t a whole lot of “firsts” left for my husband and me. In a few weeks, we’re adopting our first pet. When we have some spare money, I hope someday we can take our first trip to Europe. Maybe one day we’ll have our first child. But in the meantime, one of those rare “firsts” is coming up, and it’s our first Christmas as a married couple. It also happens to be the first Christmas I’ll spend away from home. Keep reading »

Cozy Loungewear

When it’s freezing out, all we want to do is get cozy and comfy on the couch and watch a great movie or read a page-turner. We think every woman should have a loungewear “outfit” for these occassions because it doesn’t make sense to get fully dressed, but you can’t laze around in your pajamas from the night before.
