To Beard or Not to Beard?
Men's facial hair has always been an enigma to me. With all the options out there — from beard to mustache to soul patch (shudder) to goatee to side burns — how does a dude decide? It never occurred to me that an agonizing day of windowsill moping, reflection dissection, and chanting was involved.
Do You Like Britney's "Gimme" as a Ballad?
Despite its lackluster debut at the VMAs, Brit's "Gimme More" became an insta-hit. Its formulaic blend of upbeat tempo, enhanced vocals, and ear worm lyrics made it an unsurprising dance floor favorite. But, what if we slowed the groove down and made a love ballad out of it— would you want more of it?

Glee-ful Highlights and Video From Episode "Ballad"
Maybe it's because Glee set the bar so high last week, or maybe it's the lack of Sue, but this week's episode just didn't do it for me. There are plenty of catchy tunes, but Rachel's all-of-a-sudden crush on Mr. Schue seems a bit forced, and it seems ridiculous that Will and Emma are best buddies again with no mention of their dramatic encounters from a few weeks ago.
It does have some touching moments (along with some sad ones) for Finn and Quinn, so to get into it just read more

Do, Dump, or Marry? Spike Jonze
Director, skateboarder and all-around Gen X superhero Spike Jonze was told that turning the beloved children's book Where the Wild Things Are into a movie couldn't be done without serious artistic compromises. Well, not only did he prove his naysayers wrong, his movie was number one at the box office over the weekend!
This iconoclast has been doing his own thing for a while, though, starting out as an untrained videographer for skateboarders, moving on to direct cool videos for bands like The Beastie Boys, and following up on Being John Malkovich and Adaptation with a filmic ballad for the latch-key generation.
