You Asked: Should She Stand Up For Herself?
Dear Sugar,
My friend hooked up with this guy who has a reputation for being a player. We warned her to be cautious, but she said the chemistry they had was different. Things were great between them for a couple of months, but then she had to unexpectedly move due to a family emergency.
Does It Take the Right Woman to Make a Man Settle Down?
Earlier this week Us Magazine reported the news of Kanye West's breakup with fiancé Alexis Phifer. Although I think he's an amazing performer and I respect the devotion he showed his mother, there's something about his larger-than-life demeanor that always made his long-term relationship somewhat surprising. Truth be told, I'm not all that shocked that he called things off before tying the knot.
Strategically Placed Tattoo, Not Always A Good Thing
Lower back tattoos (also offensively known as "tramp stamps") typically aren't a dude thing, but whatever. I applaud this guy for pushing the boundaries of a socialized norm, but it's the content of the tatt that would make me ban him from my "fave five" and most probably from my life altogether. He would've been better off inking "assclown" above his butt instead-- at least, he would have been taken more seriously.

Gear Review: slotRadio by Sansa
I love my iPod, but there is a new music player vying for my heart: the slotRadio ($79) by Sansa.
The two-inch-by-two-inch clip-on music player comes with a data card with 1,000 songs from the Billboard music charts, with prearranged playlists by music genre. I tried the additional Health and Fitness mix, which includes the mixes for warmup, cardio, roadwork (cycling), power (lifting), yoga, cooldown, and the even more mellow spa mix.
Lego MP3 Player: Love It or Leave It?
Is it just me, or are Lego-themed products popping up everywhere? I just spotted another: this colorful Lego MP3 player ($40) on ThinkGeek.
It has all the functionalities of an iPod, holds 2GB of music (about 500 songs), and features a digital display and USB connection.
Insignia Portable DVD Player Reviewed
I've never been the target customer when it comes to portable DVD players because I hardly ever watch movies on small screens and when I do, I'm happy just using my laptop. Having recently spent some time with my friend's four-year-old, I learned that some people — particularly those who haven't lost their two front teeth yet — rely on portable DVD players for entertainment in planes, trains and other boring locations.
I got a chance to take the Insignia 10.2" 16:9 Widescreen LCD Portable DVD Player for a spin and was pleasantly surprised.
Love at First Sight With Philips Network Music Player NP2500
During my adventures at the Philips event in Portugal last week, I was introduced to this tiny yet mighty device — the Streamium Network Music Player. As much as I was drooling over the touchscreen Prestigo universal remote (review on the way!), I must say that this player stole my heart. At home, I usually connect my laptop to my home stereo system to listen to tunes, or else I pop my iPod on my portable stereo's dock.
Muji Wall-Mounted CD Player: Justify My Love
I actually no longer have a dedicated CD player anymore; if a CD does, in fact, need to be played, it can be thrown into the DVD player or the optical drive of one of our many home computers. However, now I'm kind of lamenting the fact that I don't need a CD player, because I can in no way justify this Muji Wall-Mounted CD Player ($178).
Muji, for the uninitiated, creates spare, clean products, as is evident with this CD player, which is finally available in the US.
Closer Look: Samsung's New Crystal USB Audio Player
I finally got the chance to get an up-close and personal look at Samsung's latest mp3 player, the crystal U3 USB digital audio player. While looks can sometimes be deceiving, I kid you not when I say this player is extremely small. The ultra slim U3 is literally a USB flash drive turned music player as the USB stick pops out so you can directly insert it into your laptop.
Lesson Learned: Don't Run a Marathon With an iPod
I can't make it more than a few miles without some driving tunes in my ear, so running a 25 mile race sans iPod would be out of the question. Thankfully, I'm not looking to win a marathon anytime soon, but if I was, I'd know that running with an iPod is a dangerous move if I want to take home the gold. Take for example, the winner of the recent Milwaukee Lakefront Marathon winner, Jennifer Goebel, who was disqualified after being photographed during the race with an iPod in her pocket.
