So many single women

What is going on? According to numbers crunched by the New York Times, more American women are living without a husband than with one. In 2005, 51% of women said they were living without a spouse, up from 35% in 1950 and 49% in 2000.

And it isn't necessarily good news for single men. Many of these women are perfectly content to be single and/or unmarried. Others prefer living together before marriage rather than going through a marriage and divorce.

Anti depressants raise fracture risk

McGill University in Canada has made some remarkable discovery on the dangerous side effects of antidepressants, also known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI). If you are over 50, your risk of low-trauma bone fractures is 2X if you take these drugs, that include Zoloft, Prozac, Paxil, Celexa and Lexapro.

These are not the only dangers of these drugs. Previously these drugs have been linked to suicidal behavior and class action lawsuits against Prozac have already been filed.

Wife from hell

A police officer pulls over a speeding car. The officer says, " I clocked you at 80 miles per hour, sir."

The driver says, "Gee, officer I had it on cruise control at 60, perhaps your radar gun needs calibrating."

Not looking up from her knitting the wife says: "Now don't be silly dear, you know that this car doesn't have cruise control."

As the officer writes out the ticket, the driver looks over at his wife and growls, "Can't you please keep your mouth shut for once?"

The wife smiles demurely and says, "You should be thankful your radar detector went off when it did."

As the officer makes out the second ticket for the illegal radar detector unit, the man glowers at his wife and says through clenched teeth, "Damit, woman, can't you keep your mouth shut?"

The officer frowns and says, "And I notice that you're not wearing your seat belt, sir. That's an automatic $75 fine."

The driver says, "Yeah, well, you see officer, I had it on, but took it off when you pulled me over so that I could get my license out of my back pocket."

The wife says, "Now, dear, you know very well that you didn't have your seat belt on. You never wear your seat belt when you're driving."

And as the police officer is writing out the third ticket the driver turns to his wife and barks, "WHY DON'T YOU PLEASE SHUT UP??"

The officer looks over at the woman and asks, "Does your husband always talk to you this way, Ma'am?"

"Only when he's been drinking."

Devon Cameron creates Stella art

What you see on your left is Stella - a design fashioned from seven different types of hard-shelled gourds and embellished with dried leaves and flowers. Each is handmade by Devon Cameron (with some help from Mother Nature) in her Sugar Loaf, New York studio. And each projects a style and "cattitude" that will bring a smile and place her high on any collector's list.

These whimsical, museum-quality works are large as life measuring 20 to 26 inches from their gourd-bud noses to their curled tails. Fiercely independent, meticulously clean, and eager to delight, these ladies never unsheathe their pine-cone claws or trigger an allergy. All natural, quintessentially feminine, and sassy to their seedy core, these cats are a must have.

These hanging ornaments take the form of cat, dog, cow, pig, snowman, rooster, turtle, penguin, and frog.

Real women are not skinny

While two out of three Americans are fat and desperately trying to lose weight, we have a totally strange problem in Hollywood. Actors and models are too skinny. Actually so skinny that meet the medical definition of an eating disorder. There has been some effort by fashion show organizers to set guidelines for - you heard it right - minimum weight.

A response to this drama in Hollywood is emergence of Skinny Models Off The Runway (SMOTR), founded by George Namho. This organization will enable women all over the world a voice and vehicle by which to demand the portrayal of real-life size images of real-life size women…a fusion of beauty and health.

It is important to note that the media often plays tricks that make models look skinnier and prettier than they really are. Watch this video that shows how they make models look so good.

Is Meg Whitman a homophobe?

I don't think it is right to say that eBay is a company that promotes hatred against gays, but its CEO Meg Whitman is clearly a homophobe. According to Gene Stone, she helped presidential candidate and self-proclaimed homophobe Mitt Romney raise money for his campaign.

Shame on you, Ms. Whitman for supporting him and others like George Allen.

Maggie Coulombe to dress Hollywood celebrities

You might enjoy watching all those Hollywood celebrities on the red carpet for Oscars or Golden Globes or SAG Awards, but apart from wearing all those beautiful designer dresses and jewelry, they also get to take a lot of goodies home.

They have teamed up to form HLG Jewelry.

Beautiful animal print headband for cool women

I don't know about you but there is an animal hiding somewhere inside me. Most often it comes out in the bedroom when I am with a stud, but I love anything animal print. I think it is a subtle way to send a message about my naughtiness, along with my obvious tattoos and makeup.

That is why I recommend this Animal Print Scarf Headband (52" Long - 20" Drop). Jennifer Orlando, the boutique owner highlights the fact that almost all Hollywood celebrities, particularly Nicole Richie and Desperate Housewives ladies, have been sporting headbands. When you want that retro look for the hair, this is what you want. Of course, you can always match them with a handbag and jewelry. And don't be scared of the price. Here is a hint: if you don't know how to count beyond 10, you are OK.

Heart shaped necklace to wear on a date

I like to have a large collection of accessories, particularly jewelry. Yeah, yeah, I know, those of you out there who think that it is better to have a few excellent pieces (preferably diamonds - where's the man who is gonna buy it for me) than to have too many. But you know what, when people look at you, they can never figure out if your jewelry cost a $100 or $10. And that is why when I have too many, I can mix and match and also coordinate them with my outfit and other accessories.

So when you are going on a date and want to send a subtle message to him, try this romantic heart shape locket necklace with charms. It is 30" long with a 5" drop and the heart has a magnetic closure. If you were wondering, how much it costs: 10 bucks. No $9.99 BS. Jennifer Orlando keeps it simple at her boutique.

Designer handbag look alike at affordable price

A woman can never have enough handbags. So no wonder I like this beautiful multi-color striped bucket tote handbag, which looks like a designer handbag, but trust me, you can buy it for just $28 (exact prices may vary) at Glitz & Glamour Boutique.

It has bronze leather like trim accented with colorful stripes. As you can see it has double handles with 9.5" drop and has a zip top opening. The interior is lined with side zipper pocket and there is also a cell phone pouch. There is another zipper pocket outside. It is strong and sturdy but still looks elegant.

And now if you ask me how should you coordinate this with your outfit? I would say, try matching it with a white shirt and slimming jeans.

Massage and dance video by Guy Dumont

When I think of a massage, I want to relax physically and mentally. Having said that, other people and I have had experiences when the therapist touched me in ways that I almost went to sleep. I featured previously a Japanese massage video and there is a new fascinating video that uses massages, choreography, and music to create a very interesting art show by Guy Dumont.

The perfect butt

I am sure that like me you will like to have a perfect butt. So how can you get it? I had a long discussion this weekend with my personal trainer and according to her, it is possible to exercise the right way to shape your muscles in that area.

Well, exercise can do it, but if you are lazy like me, then you can try a Brailian butt lift or butt augmentation or butt implants.

Eli Lilly settles more Zyprexa lawsuits

After continuing to lie about the dangers of Zyprexa, why is Eli Lilly settling Zyprexa lawsuits? The company will settle these lawsuits for about half a billion dollars being given to about 18,000 victims. It had settled some 8,000 lawsuits earlier for about $700 million. That doesn't end it all. Over a thousand lawsuits will go on trial later this year.

Sophie Monk engaged to Benji Madden

Holidays are great times for proposing and that is exactly what Benji Madden did by proposing to Sophie Monk. He actually chose the perfect moment: Christmas Eve. While details have not been leaked as to what was said and how it was done but a diamond ring designed by Neil Lane was definitely there.

Benji's twin brother Joel, on the other hand, is still playing musical chairs with his relationships.

No one knows if he is with Nicole Richie now but Hilary Duff reportedly dumped Joel Madden recently.

Pat Robertson makes a fool of himself, yet again

I wonder what kind of Jesus freaks actually believe the crap that he puts out. Everyone knows that predicting the future is easy: you will be right 50% of the time. And if you have a bunch of idiots who start worshiping you based on that 50% success rate, you have a great business going on here.

And I also wonder why God talks only to him and then gives him wrong information. Maybe he is delusional.
