Let’s face it, we all have had those daydreams of that first love running back to into our arms expressing our forever affection for one another. Studies show that a quarter of men reminisce and have hopes of getting back together with an old flame. And it’s not just men, women frequent memories on previous […]
I found out last week that I have a sugar addiction. And I don’t mean “sugar addiction” as in “I have a sweet tooth” or “LOL cupcakes are so great!” (even if that is a true statement, long live cupcakes). I mean “sugar addiction” as in “this is interfering with my health and could possibly […]
Whitney Houston was my Michael Jackson. Hers was the first — and only — celebrity death that brought me to tears. I was snuggled in the corner of my bus seat lost in a book. It was Valentine’s Day weekend and we were headed to D.C. to explore the city. The interruption from my then-boyfriend was met […]

A movie blogger and entertainment reporter for the cesspool of industry gossip known as Hollywood Elsewhere, Wells developed a strange cult following of hate-readers for his stream-of-consciousness posts […]

Women are listing fruits like strawberry, banana, apple or grape, in their “status update” to correspond with what their relationship status is … and, uh, “raise awareness” about breast cancer? The message reads: We are playing a game. Someone proposed […]
At first I thought there were pimples on my vagina. That was when they were only hard, tiny lumps. I noticed them when I was in the ladies room at work. The next time I went in the bathroom, they were much, much bigger, and I started to get worried. And was it just me, […]
