Here's yet another lesson in the dangers of obsessively posting updates about your life via social media: After binding, gagging, beating and eventually robbing an elderly woman in Charleston, West Virginia last year, two teenage boys took photos of the stolen loot, to brag about it online. The pictures they uploaded to Twitter later showed up as evidence. More »

Get this: parental stress levels and skills matter more to their adopted kids' development than the parents' sexuality. Meanwhile, the fictional lesbian parents on The Kids Are All Right are pissing some people off. More »

A German scientist wants children's book and greeting card illustrators to know that snowflakes actually have six points, not eight, and that raindrops are not actually tear-shaped. P.S.: Stick figures? That's not how people actually look! [MSNBC] More »

• A woman from Florida who has cancer, arthritis and no insurance plans to sell an MRI of her brain taken in 2002 that she claims contains an image of the Virgin Mary. • A young woman from Louisiana was arrested for aggravated battery when she stabbed her older boyfriend after they got into an argument because he wasn't in the mood to have sex. • A team at Cambridge University claim that women have evolved to go through menopause because older women decided it was best to stop having children and take care of their grandchildren rather than compete with younger women for mates. • More »

You will be shocked to learn that the parents of Ashley Dupre, the prostitute whose involvement with Eliot Spitzer was a factor in his resignation, were very upset to find out that their daughter was secretly working as a sex worker. In a 20/20 interview that airs tomorrow night, Dupre reveals how her mother and stepfather reacted when they found out she was working as a hooker ("disgusted" but not willing to kick her out). Dupre also discusses her wish to become a singer and "follow [her] music." Good luck with that! [NY Post] More »

It sure seems like a lot of teens are getting pregnant these days, and seeing pictures of Jamie Lynn Spears cheerfully roaming around Wal-Mart isn't really sending a message that baby-raisin' is hard to do. Seeing an education possibility (and by "education" we mean "ratings and profit") in this new "trend," NBC has created a reality TV show, The Baby Borrowers, based on a BBC program in the UK. The show follows five couples in their late-teens, all of "varying social and ethnic backgrounds", who want to experience the process of raising a child. Each week, the couples are given a new person to care for, ranging from infant to old person, and a major message is communicated: parenting is really hard! But did we need a TV show to tell us that? The critics weigh in, after the jump. More »

When it comes to guys and grooming, we've just about heard it all: the Metrosexual, the retrosexual, the ill-kempt, the preening. Queer Eye For The Straight Guy was hit back in whenever. And a new UK survey has found that the average British man takes about half an hour getting ready to go out, and this number has gone up by 30% in the last five years. Although the Daily Mail (the paper we love to hate) tries to force shame on men ("Guys are becoming more vain," reads the headline), is there really a story here at all? Some dudes traipse around with messy hair, rumpled clothes and dirty fingernails while their dates have a blowout, manicure, makeup and heels. But do these guys need "fixing"? More »

Have a friend you also fuck but can't commit to? Guess what? The chances of you committing to him (or her) at any point in the future are lower than they might be if you were not friends who were casually fucking without commitment! ! I think this is sort of like the thing where your life expectancy goes up the older you manage to get without dying. But who really does the "friends with benefits" thing after college? Haven't most of us learned that lesson about acquiring drinking buddies instead of fuck buddies? (Um, since most of us seem like pretty good drunks around here?) Because if you fall off the abstinence wagon with a drinking buddy, chances are you won't remember? I surveyed the Jezerati. More »
