Is It Hot Or Cold in Here Or Is It Me?

DivineCaroline.comJune 21, 2009 //

Dating to find the right person, i.e. kind, mentally healthy,and moderately good-looking, can be real challenge. So many nicely wrapped packages end up holding a lump of coal. Or a big pile of poo.

I thought I’d share several types to watch out for in the dating lottery game. Warning: not all bad ‘uns come stamped with “Loser” across their forehead. Too bad for us little girls getting our hearts broke. Again.

We’ll start with some lightweights (revealed in less than three dates) and work our way up to the big stinker (can suck up years of your life). Keep reading »

Which Chick Flick Character Are You?

Catherine StrawnApril 16, 2009 //

Chick flicks are generally the lamest of movies, but we still watch them, making them huge blockbusters and giving them the longest of lifespans on Netflix. Of course, part of the reason we keep seeing them despite their high cheese factor is because we all want to believe in the possibility of happy endings, but I think a lot of their popularity has to do with women feeling like they are one of the characters.

10 Signs He’s Just That Into You

Annika HarrisFebruary 26, 2009 //

Sometimes it’s difficult to tell the difference between a guy that is just being nice and one that is totally into you. Sure, we women have a tendency to over-analyze everything (did you see “He’s Just Not That Into You“?!), but that usually happens after we’re dating the guy. So how do you know for sure he’s trying to get with you? Here are 10 signs he’s obviously into you. Keep reading »

We See Chick Flicks: “He’s Just Not That Into You”

When God created chick flicks, she/he had this one in mind as the epitome, the end all, be all of chick flicks. Not one straight man on the planet will see this film willingly, and those women who do, should walk in with a healthy dose of skepticism. After all, the movie is based on a self-help book of the same name, which has been ripped apart for its stereotyping of women. Plus, it wasn’t clear to me how in the hell it would translate into a film. That said, it was produced by Drew Barrymore’ Flower Films — which also put out the fluffy gem “Never Been Kissed” — and also stars Barrymore alongside Frisky faves Ginnifer Goodwin and Jennifer Connelly. Additionally, having been a crazy lady in the boy department many times myself, I went into the movie believing that there was nothing wrong with looking crazy moments like those in the face and laughing about how young and stupid we’ve all been. In that sense, “He’s Just Not That Into You” didn’t disappoint. Keep reading »

Quickies!: Mars Is The New Celeb Kid On The Block, Stay Youthful Like Demi Moore

  • Bronx Mogli has been dethroned. Mars Merkaba, Erykah Badu’s newborn, now has the strangest celebrity baby name. [Dlisted]
  • Lynne from “The Real Housewives of Orange County” is dumb as a box of white rice. Not only is she not sure there’s air conditioning in her home, but she also thinks horseradish comes from little ponies. Now my dreams of Lynne putting Vicki’s million dollar ass in its trailer park place have been crushed. [Dlisted]
  • Michelle Obama’s hairstylist will train D.C.-area stylists to do the first lady’s hair because he doesn’t want to move, and flying back and forth isn’t practical in this economic climate. How do I get an application for this apprenticeship program? [Perez Hilton]

    10 Chick Flick Cliches That Are NOT In “He’s Just Not That Into You”

    Amelia McDonell-ParryFebruary 1, 2009 //

    You know what? I know that everyone and their mom is going to hate on the movie version of “He’s Just Not That Into You.” Maybe there was a reason to hate on the book — I don’t know, I didn’t read it — but this movie looks funny. For starters, I love Ginnifer Goodwin; I also have been known to stare at a cell phone for over an hour, willing it to ring (with a call from a guy I totally love); I also have spent many, many years making crap excuses for bad boy behavior because I just didn’t want to recognize that maybe he was either A) a douche or B) a perfectly fine who was just not that into me. Am I betraying women everywhere for admitting to that? I don’t think so. Anyway, in the hilarious video above, the male stars of the film explain the 10 Chick Flick Cliches that are NOT in this particular chick flick. So you could technically maybe bring a dude to it. Only I wouldn’t, if you ever want to hear from him again. Keep reading »

    Let The February Rom-Coms Begin!

    Catherine StrawnJanuary 5, 2009 //

    Movie studios know we will eat up pure sap around Valentine’s Day. As cheesy as it’s probably going to be, I can’t wait for “He’s Just Not That Into You,” which comes out a month from tomorrow. I laughed out loud watching this new trailer, mostly because there are some valid points. Like Drew Barrymore’s character says, “I had this guy leave me a voicemail at work, so I called him at home. And then he emailed to my BlackBerry, and so I texted to his cell. And now you just have to go around checking all these different portals just to be rejected by seven different technologies. It’s exhausting!” Keep reading »

    He’s Just Not That Into You Trailer

    Catherine StrawnMay 28, 2008 //

    The two best parts: 1) when Bradley Cooper’s character tells Scarlett Johansson’s character that they’re just friends, and she strips and jumps into the pool, and 2) the scene with Drew Barrymore and the answering machine — I don’t even know any guys who are that fake thoughtful. Keep reading »
