Do You Think It's True That Men Love B*tches?

TresSugar — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 09:00:00 PDT

I've never read the book Why Men Love Bitches, but the title is pretty arresting, and having perused The Rules, He's Just Not That Into You, et al, I think I can probably construct the argument without it.

Basically, unless you're a challenge and make him work a little to show you he's worthy of your attention, you're a doormat, and a lot of men will take advantage of that. For example, you're not supposed to call the guy you like a lot (particularly at the beginning when you're just getting to know each other), you're not supposed to drop plans you had because he invited you out (duh!), and it's important you have your own life.

A lot of these dating advice books for women seem like common sense to me. Whether they call a woman a "rules girl" or a "bitch," it seems that those words stand for "not a doormat." Do you think it's true that men love bitches or women who don't make things too easy for them? Or do you think if things are right between two people they don't need these rules of conduct?

Bad Idea of the Week: Fox's B*tches

BuzzSugar — Mon, 22 Dec 2008 15:15:31 PST

Sounds like a concept we've heard before: Four female friends live, laugh, and love in the big city, navigating the ups and downs of single life and falling back on each other for support when a romance goes stale.

Except this time, in a new pilot from Fox, the women are werewolves.

I am so not kidding.

Oh yeah, and this "quirky urban fairy tale" is called B*tches.

I mean, hey, we've gotten to the point where vampire love stories can become fancy TV shows and box office-topping movies, so maybe this is somehow a better idea than I imagine. Maybe werewolves are The Next Big Thing, and I'm just unknowingly discriminating against some of the world's most beautiful creatures.

But for now, I'll leave you with a quote from the show's writer about the subject matter he intends to explore:

How can you date and fall in love with someone when you're a werewolf and you start to turn when you're aroused?

How, indeed.

Glee-ful Highlights From Episode "Yes/No"

Lizzie Fuhr — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 07:41:04 PST

Glee is back from Winter hiatus and makes a big splash this week with a genuinely awesome episode. It's super cheesy and full of multiple dance numbers and guest stars, which is essentially the recipe for Glee success, and I'll admit it gave me goose bumps more than once.

Nearly everyone's emotions and relationships are challenged in this episode: Mercedes is torn between two guys, Will contemplates taking the next step with Emma, and Finn's got big ideas for his future with Rachel. I can't believe how much happened! To get all the details on "Yes/No," just keep reading.

The Office, "Mrs. California": Best Lines of the Night

Lizzie Fuhr — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 07:46:11 PST

With one of the best cold opens on The Office all season, this week we jump back into Robert California's bulldozing of Andy. Tonight, it's about his wife. Robert says that under no circumstances is his sweet and beautiful wife (played by Maura Tierney) allowed to work at Dunder-Mifflin. Andy almost pushes through and succeeds, until all of the games become just too much. Just when it looks like he is in the clear, Robert promises that he would be "eternally grateful," and (of course) Andy blows it by offering Mrs. California a gig.

What I love about this episode is that Andy's genuine good nature shines, and that's what I've loved about nerdy Nard Dog from day one. I'm tired of Robert California being such a bully without any humor to alleviate the situation. Luckily, it seems like the writers may agree. At the end of the episode, Mrs. California notes that it's too bad things didn't work out since she and Andy really "hit it off." Of course, Andy assumes that she means this in a professional capacity, but an unexpected twist comes when Mrs. California asks Andy out.

The saving grace in the humor department? Dwight and Darryl. After Dwight opens "Dwight Schrute's Gym for Muscles," Darryl is the first office member to sign up. The two spend time working out together and just being generally hysterical. There's also some solid Creed action where he's playing with a remote-controlled helicopter on the roof. Even if I'm exhausted of the Robert vs. Andy saga, "Mrs. California" truly has its moments. For my favorite lines from this episode, just keep reading.

A Reader Recommends Her Go-To Vegan Cookbooks

Fit Community — Thu, 11 Aug 2011 00:04:11 PDT

Being a new vegetarian can mean a lot of changes, especially in the kitchen. FitSugar reader healthymeatball is finding that vegan-specific cookbooks have helped. Read on for what she thinks about two meatless cooking classics.

Holy crap people. I've been a vegetarian for 6 months! I consider it normal to slip up every once in awhile, especially when Mom force-feeds you homemade meatballs on your bimonthly visit home. But I discovered that these books are the perfect aid for such mistakes, bringing you back to balance when your mind (and appetite) causes you to stray.

Find out just what healthymeatball thinks of The Kind Life and Skinny Bitch at her blog, The Healthy Meatball. Want more vegetarian and vegan cookbook recommendations? Here are five vegetarian and five vegan places to start.

Jaime Pressly Talks About I Hate My Teenage Daughter and Being "Very Scared" of Getting Pigeonholed

Shannon Vestal — Fri, 05 Aug 2011 16:55:59 PDT

Jaime Pressly and Katie Finneran have some formidable foes in their new Fox sitcom: their children. The two actresses star as BFFs and mothers on I Hate My Teenage Daughter, and the funny ladies visited the TCA to talk about the "hormone hell" they think parents will be able to relate to on the show. Pressly also talked about her fears of getting pigeonholed because of her previous work on My Name Is Earl. Check out the highlights of the panel below.

The cast seems to know that the title sounds a little harsh, but Pressly wanted to clarify that the title isn't the pervasive feeling of the show, but the point that your kids can sometimes drive you to. Pressly said "every parent has that moment where they want to break down and just scream." The actress thinks the show is relatable to many people, but parents of teens especially, who Pressly thinks "will be able to escape and realize they're not alone" in the "hormone hell" they're in with their children.
Pressly and Finneran talked about what they were like as teenagers, and Pressly said she was "treated like dirt by the mean girls," in North Carolina until she moved to California, describing her young self as an outcast and a tomboy. Finneran seemed to have it easier, saying she was friends with everybody - "the nice girl, the designated driver."
The actresses who play the mean-girl teenage daughters, Aisha Dee and Kristi Lauren, seemed to be far nicer than their onscreen couterparts, though Lauren joked that her parents are worried she's "going to turn into her character." Dee said it was "fun to get to play the kind of person everyone wants to be," to which Pressly (who has lots of antagonistic roles on her résumé) cracked, "flat out, it's fun to play the bitch, ask me."
Pressly is best known for her Emmy-winning role of Joy on My Name Is Earl, but she copped to her success being as much of a curse as it is a blessing. She was "very scared that I wasn't going to be able to get another show for a very long time," because "it's so easy to be pigeonholed" now that so many people associate her with Joy. Naturally, she said she was very grateful to the showrunners of this show for bringing her on.
