Do Tell: Who Do You Think Is the Sexiest Man Alive?
People magazine has declared that Johnny Depp is the sexiest man alive. Runners-up for the annual award included Ryan Reynolds, David Beckham, Gilles Marini, Jake Gyllenhaal, Bradley Cooper, and of course, sparkly Robert Pattinson. While I'm totally on board with the Johnny choice, who would you give the title to?
Flashback! A Phone For Creepy People
For $69 those looking to spice up their phone calls could have owned this "conversation piece" belonging to the same genre as that leg lamp in A Christmas Story.
The ad reminds us that the phone was sculptured by a European artist, which makes it totally classy and not at all tacky. However judging by the photo, it's not so easy to talk on a naked-lady phone.
Ruh Roh!
It's getting to the point that Hollywood is churning out new-fangled stars quicker than I can keep up with them, and apparently, quicker than celeb news writers can even come up with anything to say about them. Case in point: this People online piece on Gossip Girl's Chace Crawford is filled in with journalistic code meaning "more text to come." Hmmm.
Adam Lambert: Just Another Provocative Pop Star?
Last night on the American Music Awards, Adam Lambert gyrated along dancers dressed in S&M inspired costumes. At one point, the American Idol alum pulled a dancer's face toward his crotch. Of course, not everyone was entertained — the spectacle was edited from the West Coast broadcast.
Ask a Wife: How Do I Stop Being the Other Woman?
Conventional Wisdom is a different kind of advice column. Your questions will be answered by people from all walks of life rather than by advice experts. This week, a woman in a happy marriage tries to help out a woman stuck in an affair.
Oh Snap! Her Life's Like a Soap Opera
Afghan actress Trena Amiri films a scene for the soap opera Love and Old Age in Kabul. Trena, who is divorced and rarely sees her three children according to Afghanistan's custody laws, tries to be discreet about her career because many people are critical of her lifestyle.
Awkward! What's Your Sign?
"What's your sign?" This might be the most direct way to find out a person's astrological sign, but often the curiosity is disguised by less ugh-inducing words. "When's your birthday?"
Are You a Compulsive People-Pleaser?
We've all done it before — offering to do a favor we later regret, or overextending ourselves when really we just need me-time. But for some people (and I imagine women outnumber men here because of social conditioning), chronic niceness can verge on the pathological and actually be hazardous to the people-pleaser's overall health.
According to Les Barbanell, psychologist and author of Removing the Mask of Kindness, there are many reasons compulsive people-pleasers turn out that way.
People Watching: Rude or Fun?
I can't help it. Whenever I'm in a public place, be it an airport, an outdoor cafe, or park bench, I love to people watch. I'm not obvious about it (or at least I hope I'm not), but just taking a few glances at the people passing by somehow relaxes me.
East vs. West: Berlin Wall Divided Two Attitudes Toward Nudity
When the Berlin Wall fell 20 years ago last week, East and West Germany had to integrate two very different cultures. Freedom may have spread quickly through the East, but nudity — the East's favorite and perhaps only freedom — never caught on in the West.
Freikörperkultur (FKK), or liberal body culture, was really the only way to rebel in the East, where the most quotidian details of people's lives were observed by the Stasi, East Germany's secret police.
