Out of nowhere, his skin seems leathery, his pores huge and filthy, his teeth urinal yellow. And, almost as disconcerting, sometimes a guy you never found attractive becomes spontaneously delicious. It's like he's stepped into a shaft of heavenly light or something. Time stops, the angels sing, you knit your eyebrows and stare, incredulously. When did he get foxy? The answer is often simple: Ovulation Goggles. More »

• Britney should be worried about her liver, and not just because of her coke snorting and purple drank-ing — because of her Taco Bell-laden diet. A recent study showed that mice on a high fat diet were much more susceptible to liver injury. [Science Daily]
