When working on a romantic comedy that centers around the invention of the vibrator, you end up with some Read more

Full disclosure: I laughed out loud many times during The Dictator, knowing full well that I should have been offended instead. But what you see is what you get when it comes to Sacha Baron Cohen, and after movies like Bruno and Borat, you already know whether you'll be able to find humor in film about a horrifyingly ignorant world leader who's as naive, racist, and prejudiced as they come.

We all make mistakes — we're all human after all. LearnVest shares some of the common money mistakes that women often make so readers will learn not to make them, too. Some of us handle our money flawlessly, perfectly, brilliantly, all of the time. But most of us don't. Most of us make mistakes here and there.

For mom-to-be Jessica Simpson, there’s no such thing as "TMI." This is, after all, the same woman who once explained that she only brushes her teeth three times a week "because my teeth are so white, and I don’t like them to feel too slippery . . . My Read more

We're happy to present this story from one of our favorite sites, The Good Men Project. I’ve been watching Downton Abbey along with much of the rest of the country, obsessed with the World War 1 era story of class, heartbreak, and romance.
