Who among us has not turned to prepackaged cookie dough for comfort during some dark or cozy moment in our lives? It's so creamy and convenient and soothing to the soul. Sure, we know it isn't exactly good for us, but it's always seemed relatively harmless. Well, it turns out our old food friend can actually be a pretty dangerous enemy. A study has confirmed that raw Nestlé Toll House cookie dough was responsible for making 77 people sick during an E. coli outbreak in 2009. More »

Did you hear? The new chick flick Over Her Dead Body opens today, starring Eva Longoria — sorry — Eva Longoria Parker, Lake Bell and Paul Rudd. In it, Kate (Longoria Parker), a super shrew, dies in a freak accident on the day of her wedding. After mourning her death for the better part of a year, her fiance, a sensitive veterinarian named Henry, gets involved with a psychic named Ashley (Lake Bell), which pisses off Kate so much that she begins to sabotage the relationship with all kinds of otherworldly hijinks.
