Cirque du Freak: An Unnecessary Addition to Vampire Entertainment
With Halloween just around the corner, October is the perfect time for movie studios to unleash their creepiest films, since we're all in the mood for a good scare. Combine with that the insatiable desire for vampire entertainment, and you've got Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant; a tween fantasy movie that plays out like R.L.

UK Won't Clarify Assisted Suicide Law For Sick Woman
Debbie Purdy is 45 and suffering from debilitating and progressive multiple sclerosis.

Brilliant or Baffling? Outsourcing Your Assistant
While most of us don't have the means or necessity for a full time personal assistant like most of the stars that will be appearing at the Oscars on Sunday, some of us could use an extra hand now and then.

The Most and Least Stressful Jobs Might Surprise You
The personal lives of the Grey's Anatomy characters are more dramatic than most, and coupled with their chaotic jobs at Seattle Grace Hospital, it's no wonder they're constantly strung out. Surgeons have the most stressful jobs compared to all the rest, according to a recent list compiled by CareerCast.

Me and Orson Welles: A Likeable Film For Theater-Lovers
Zac Efron can act, people! Okay, so he's not going to win an Oscar for his performance in Me and Orson Welles, but he does take a step away from the tween territory of High School Musical and 17 Again to prove that he can hold his own among more experienced performers.
