FABTV: Biz Markie "Just a Friend"

FabSugar — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 13:12:22 PDT

Biz Markie had a story to tell and he told it right. The "your mama" jokes in the beginning of this video are funny, but when Biz gets on with his story of heartache, you can't help but take the guy seriously. It's refreshing to see a big, intimidating guy sing about heartache - it happens to us all. And he does it in a peaceful way. The catchiest part of the song, which everyone must sing along with, is the chorus, "Oh baby, you, you got what I n-eed," but Biz is a better rapper than singer. Dressing up as Mozart was a comical bit, too. The best cure for heartache? Laughter is the best medicine . . .

5 Handy Uses For Your Old Magazines

Emily Co — Mon, 28 May 2012 00:15:00 PDT

If you're a magazine fiend like I am, then you probably have a couple lying around the house. Don't let the pile of magazines build up and clutter your home. Other than giving copies of your magazines away to friends or donating them, here's what you can reuse them for:

Wrapping paper: Wrapping gifts in colored magazine paper looks so much more presentable than wrapping them in newspaper. Your friends will marvel at your creativity and frugality!
Decor: Laminate your favorite (or just pretty) pages, and use them as wall decor or even creative placemats on the dining table.
Computer elevation: Place your PC on a bunch of magazines to elevate it to the proper height and avoid making your neck ache.
Kids' projects: Use old magazines to entertain children by creating scrapbooks or making jewelry and bookmarks.
Cabinet and drawer liners: Line your kitchen or bathroom cabinets and drawers with magazine pages to keep the surfaces clean.

Anne Hathaway and Adam Shulman Stick Close From Coast to Coast

Lauren Turner — Fri, 25 May 2012 08:09:28 PDT

Anne Hathaway's fiancé, Adam Shulman, was right behind her as they arrived at LAX yesterday. The couple hopped on a flight to NYC after visiting with friends on the West Coast. Anne's on a break from filming Les Misérables in London, where she hit the set with costar Hugh Jackman in April. She took advantage of the downtime to escape to Miami earlier this month. Anne wore a black bikini for a dip in the ocean with her mom Kathleen during the getaway, which came just before Mother's Day.

Anne may still be sporting cropped hair for her character in Les Mis, but she'll soon be switching gears to another project. The Dark Knight Rises hits theaters in July and Anne will be traveling to promote the latest installment in the Batman franchise.
