Love is for the birds and it comes as no surprise when Twitter ends a relationship. Eva Longoria reportedly split with Tony Parker over some inappropriate texts while Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy tweeted their break-up. But can Twitter keep a relationship alive?

Helen Mirren is sick of penis. Specifically she is sick of the reverence given to them in Hollywood. In a beautiful speech given at the Women In Entertainment awards, she eloquently summed up the problems faced by women in the entertainment industry, and the world at large. “Unappreciated, underused and ill-used,” she began. “Undervalued, undernourished, ...

Sitting down to a sad Subway sandwich and Top Chef: All Stars, it occurred to me that only one woman has ever won the show — and that was considered a major upset. When Stephanie Izard was crowned the winner if season 4, it was a shock to everyone — even the judges. While winners ...

Christmas is in the air and ads are on the airwaves with ideas about how we want to fill our Santa’s Wish List. The most insidious ones are aimed at children. They work hard at getting kids to manipulate, cajole and whine their way to filled stockings, but what other messages are hidden in these ...

This week will go down in history — in addition to the long awaited  royal engagement announcement, it is also the opening weekend of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — the first part of the seventh installment.

Why do I care? Her nutrition is an issue for her and her doctor, except that when Ok! publishes her daily diet it begins to look a litle bit like advice.   A moderately active woman should eat about 2000 calories a day, according to recent guidelines.

In Hollywood, when a girl goes bad, she’s gone. Like a magic trick, all of her roles go up in smoke. *Poof!* Not so with the men. A night on the town that ends up in a jail cell, with a beaten woman crying in the interview room, is just par for the course. Boys ...

Gray-haired grannies are often overlooked by Hollywood. Used as props for family settings, they are hauled out for Christmas movies and then dusted off and put away until next season.
