On the other hand, ABC Family is constantly presenting itself as a network for "a new kind of family," and ABC original shows such as Greek and The Secret Life of the American Teenager don't shy away from sex or drinking or teenage pregnancy, which shows that the concept of "family" television has evolved far beyond the corny jokes and "very special episodes" of the old TGIF lineup. Piper Perabo's character does have a complicated relationship with her father in the film, and I guess that dynamic fits the networks overall programming slate. I suppose the strangest, and funniest thing about seeing Coyote Ugly on ABC Family, then, is the fact that they're advertising it as "Tyra Banks in Coyote Ugly!" when she's in the movie for what, 10 minutes? Not like I've seen it a few times or anything. Ok, no, I totally have. I'm sorry, you guys. It's just that you can't fight the moonlight, noooooo! Can't fight it!

This morning, Enya visited Kathie Lee and Hoda, and the women talked about Christmas music. Enya was singing in Gaelic and Kathie Lee sang along in a fake language of sounds that she ad-libbed. Can you see now why we she's one of our favorite most ridiculous women?

We've already expressed our love/hate relationship witih Today's campy-twosome Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb. It's so easy to get sucked into their vacuous banter which, this morning, involved Hoda's love for singer Chris Brown, and the musical that Kathie Lee wrote called Keepin' It Real. (It's about a teen who lives in Malibu who has to resist the temptation of plastic surgery, and is being performed by high school students in Indiana this weekend. It sounds seriously awesome.)

Thankfully, some action is being taken: Popular polish company OPI announced in March that it would begin removing toluene from its products. Last year, the company said it was removing dibutyl phthalate. In Springfield, MA, a community group received a $100,000 grant from the EPA to build a salon with a high-quality ventilation system — after six Vietnamese salon workers suffered miscarriages in that town. (Other manicurists suffered rashes, fungal infections and asthma.)

The International Herald Tribune reports that salon employees often work 60 hours a week without overtime pay or lunch breaks. And in a survey of nail salon employees in New York City, 37% of them said they had skin problems, 37% had eye irritation and 66% had neck or back discomfort. While it's great that the EPA has stepped in and one company is overhauling its formula, this is, of course, just another way that women suffer in the quest for beauty. We're now convinced that whatever we're tipping these women to deal with our nasty-ass hands and feet isn't nearly enough.
