Who doesn't love The Cars? They're new wave, but a smidgen pop. Their tunes are cool and catchy. Top that. I remember seeing this video as a wee lassie and loving its surreal playfulness. It's ultimately a romantic song, though lead singer Ric Ocasek isn't stalking his bride model Paulina Porizkova in it. Some blond chick, but she's still cute. The neon-like props against the black background are Read more

For many, that also means packing up the car and heading somewhere to celebrate Memorial Day. Staying healthy on vacation, no matter how short, can be difficult, especially when you're on the road. It's so easy to pull over and grab fast food or gas station fare instead of searching Read more
I wouldn't dream of traveling without my trusty plastic folder! Be it for business or pleasure, I recycle the same one, slightly larger than a standard piece of paper that I've used since my college days. Mine's hot pink so it stands out in my travel tote amid magazines and other goodies and extra sturdy with a Velcro flap so things stay in better than pocketed, paper alternatives. While there Read more
Brian Austin Green led the way for a rumored-to-be-pregnant Megan Fox in Los Feliz yesterday. The pair grabbed a bite and stuck close upon exiting the restaurant and heading back to their car. Neither Brian nor Megan have confirmed reports of her possible pregnancy, but her publicist was quick to cut an interview short when Steve Jones brought up the subject of babies.

One universal truth all new parents quickly learn: babies require a lot of stuff.

So what to do with all that leftover (and sometimes super expensive) stuff? Simply Read more
After 132 million votes, Phillip Phillips is the winner of American Idol season 11. The finale was a total talent blowout. Cars were given to the top two (and their mentors), a number of bedazzled spandex bodysuits were rocked, and Jane Lynch was in the audience! Steven Tyler showed off his sloth and Idol alums Ace Young and Diana DeGarmo even got engaged on stage! But let's talk music. Phillip Read more
The trailer for Baz Luhrmann's film adaptation of The Great Gatsby is everything I hoped it would be: visually stunning, stylish, and sexy. Of course, he has the benefit of his source material being set in the 1920s, a period that offers amazing costumes, cars, and sets, especially when the story focuses on the elite and their lavish parties. At the center of those parties is Jay Gatsby (Leonardo Read more

Week two on The Bachelorette brought plenty of action, and I'm not just talking about the chemistry between Emily and Kermit — though that was slightly uncomfortable. No, I'm referring to the first one-on-one dates, the first group date, and all the poolside drama. It looks like we've got a veritable Real Housewives of Charlotte on our hands, only in this case the housewives are men and Botox Read more
