Would You Watch a Reality Show Starring Nicole and Joel?
Nicole Richie is a busy mom running errands with Harlow and Sparrow by her side, and designing for her many fashion and accessory lines, but soon she may have another project on her plate. She and Joel are allegedly in talks to host their own talk show, which would take place in their home.

Neti Pot Use Could Cause Sinus Problems?
Pollen and cat fur are not my friends, and when I become so stuffed up I can't smell a thing, I turn to my neti pot. It looks like a little teapot.

Another Plastic Health Risk — Erectile Dysfunction
While there have been previous studies, linking bisphenol A (BPA), found in hard plastics, to health problems, including precancerous tumors, prostate cancer, and brain damage, a new study, conducted in China, substantiates its claims with results in humans. In one of the first studies of its kind to be conducted on humans, researchers are finding that much of what they've previously seen in animal studies holds true — men exposed to significant amounts of BPA are at greater risk of sexual health problems.
The study compared the levels of sexual dysfunction in two groups of male factory workers — one group, which was exposed to high levels of BPA, while the other was not.
