Dishwasher Truce!

One of the things I had time to do over the Christmas break was read all the magazines sitting in a pile on my coffee table. The most life-changing tidbit was in Real Simple. It was about dishwashers.

I don’t have one right now, but when I lived with my boyfriend I did. And we both had strong opinions about how it should be operated (as I’m sure most of you do). As you might have guessed, our opinions were differing. I liked to do a lot of pre-rinsing before loading. He did not.

According to a survey conducted by Harris Interactive, we were not alone. About 40 percent of couples argue about the proper way to load the dishwasher. The main points of contention are ahem, pre-rinsing and loading techniques. The debate is over once and for all. The RIGHT way to do both of those things after the jump. Keep reading »

Ah, Thanksgiving: a day of gratitude, binge eating, and togetherness. Unfortunately, that whole “togetherness” thing doesn’t always go so smoothly. We all know to avoid inflammatory topics like religion and politics when convening with far-flung family members, but what happens when seemingly innocuous subjects cause tempers to flare and awkward silence to follow? To help you prepare for the worst, here’s a list of seven neutral conversation starters to try this Thanksgiving — and what to do if things turn bad…

The Most Ridiculous Home-Related Fights

Stylelist HomeJuly 24, 2011 //

Over at The Nest, they’re collecting their users’ most ridiculous fights. And what I noticed (aside from a serious trend of couple’s food issues): So many of these are caused by everyday home occurences. Not that I can’t relate. I’d be lying if I didn’t admit to fighting over the TV volume, folding the laundry, locking the door — oh, sadly, I could go on. Instead, I gathered my favorite house-caused tiffs from the post and comments — plus some new ones from our Facebook friends:

“We fought about how many times a toilet should be flushed in a day. This was a serious, ridiculous, give-the-silent-treatment kind of argument.” –LOISSA

“We got into a fight while assembling the furniture in our new house. If we made it through that, we’ll make it through anything!” –AUBREYDUB

Kim Kardashian The Latest To Get Into A Fight

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comOctober 11, 2010 //

Really? More famous women getting into fights? On Thursday night, Kim Kardashian apparently got into a scuffle at a New York City bar. In the city to shoot her new show, “Kourtney and Kim Take New York,” she went out with her sisters, Kourtney and Khloe, as well as Scott Disick. As Kim explains it on her blog, “A drunk male fan came up to me and asked to take a picture, and I obliged, but his girlfriend, who was also drunk, got a little out of hand. Luckily I had Scott and Khloe there to protect me.”

How did they protect her? After some yelling, someone splashed a drink in this woman’s face. Keep reading »

3 Famous Ladies Accused Of Throwing Punches

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comOctober 8, 2010 //

I feel like we’re in one of those cartoon episodes where the bad guy puts something in the water supply to make everyone angry. Because this morning, in rapid succession, I saw three stories about famous ladies getting aggro. First, the least believable of the stories: A 17-year-old claims that Jodie Foster attacked him in a parking lot in May. Keep reading »

Lady Gaga Breaks Up A Fight

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comSeptember 10, 2010 //

On Tuesday night, Lady Gaga stopped a show in the middle of her song “Monster” to break up a fight. “Stop fighting. Do not fight at this show,” she said. “Is she OK? Are they both OK? I don’t know who hit who. I’m sorry, I just don’t want you to fight… I wasn’t very cool in high school and used to get beat up all the time.” Then she launched back into it. I gotta applaud Gaga for pointing out that fighting is not cool. Where was she for the Sammi/J-Woww fight on “Jersey Shore“? [Radar] Keep reading »

J-Woww And Sammi Catfight On “Jersey Shore”

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comSeptember 3, 2010 //

Can we talk about last night’s “Jersey Shore“? It was CRAZY. The Situation hooked up with the hottie of his dreams, only to kick her out minutes after the deed was done. Snooki got down with Vinnie, and let us know that sex with him was “like putting a watermelon into, like, a pinhole.”

But the craziest part of the episode was the final scene, when J-Woww and Sammi got into a physical fight. (See the first half of it, above.) And I’m not talking a little hair pulling. This was a knock-down, drag-out fight where punches were thrown and the rest of the cast had to jump in to hold them back. Keep reading »

LiLo And SamRo Get Physical, Plus Other Slap-Happy Celebs

Amelia McDonell-ParryFebruary 6, 2010 //

Even though the love is gone for Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson, the passion is still pretty fiery. The ladies got in a brawl on Wednesday night at Crown Bar. According to a witness, LiLo was trying to make SamRo jealous by getting wasted and grinding on some ladies, so Samantha said, “Why don’t you just have another drink? You’re a disgrace.” That, obvs, made Lindsay throw a drink in Sam’s face. Then Sam allegedly threw some DJ equipment at Lindsay. A huge mess ensued. [RadarOnline.com]

It’s scary when fights turn physical and it’s not always the gents who raise a fist. Here are a few other celebrity couples who, um, can’t keep their hands off of each other, in a bad way. Keep reading »
