Whether they were set up by a mettlesome friend or collided at what they'd later call a "kegger," the story of how your parents met is unexpectedly endearing. Hearing how they once fidgeted on the shag carpet of a first date is as weird as it is comforting. So, tell us, how did yours go from strangers to mom and dad?
Today "One & Other" — a living monument in Trafalgar Square, London — kicked off. Sculptor Anthony Gormley invited everyday people to occupy the empty Fourth Plinth in the square, a location usually reserved for statues of kings and generals. For 24 hours a day, for 100 days straight, different people will stand on the Plinth for an hour each in an image of themselves or as a representation of all of humanity.
The artist said: "this elevation of everyday life to the position formerly occupied by monumental art allows us to reflect on the diversity, vulnerability and particularity of the individual in contemporary society. It could be tragic but it could also be funny."
The first of the participants, who were chosen by random, took turns at the post today. Check out some of the living art!
5 Things Women Do Better Than Men In the battle of the sexes, women claim some impressive victories —at least according to the scientific studies that examine the differences between men and women! Here's a round up of five things women do better than men.
I'm still trying to make sense of the bombshell Sarah Palin dropped over the weekend. At first I thought Palin must have her eyes set on political office outside of Alaska and doesn't want her duties as governor to hold her back. No longer stuck in Alaska, she'll be able to travel the country if she decides she wants to run for president. But after watching her nervously announce her resignation, the decision to quit didn't come off as a well thought-out plan to win the presidency in 2012. It seemed more like political suicide!
Prominent Republicans can't seem to agree what this means for her future either. Karl Rove said he was "a little perplexed" by Palin's move, but conservative pundit Bill Kristol thinks she made a good decision in a "world where people don't value years of experience in Washington, or even conceivably two terms as governor of Alaska." As for Rush Limbaugh, he said: "I think these people saying she's an instant target because she quit is just inside the beltway formulaic. And she's not that."
"He was a pervert, a child molester; he was a pedophile. And to be giving this much coverage to him, day in and day out, what does it say about us as a country? I just think we're too politically correct."
New York congressman Peter King (no relation to the king of pop) blasted society's glorification of the late Michael Jackson. King conceded that Michael Jackson "may have been a good singer" and "did some dancing" — but he maintained that in the end, there's nothing good to say about the controversial entertainer.
The boys of Entourage are back in a little over a week, so of course, my thoughts stray to my favorite scruffy guy — Adrian "to hell with manscaping" Grenier.
A few years back, I was treated to an Adrian sighting while they were shooting a scene at hipster hotel The Roosevelt in Hollywood. Needless to say, the ladies were majorly swooning over him. And why not? I love Adrian's tousled hair, beautiful eyes, and boyish gait. He's probably not everyone's cup of tea, though. What are your thoughts — do, dump or marry?
