Ladies in the UK, take note: "Booze guzzling women could be the unlikely saviors of pubs," proclaims The Sun. Except for this chick, who's been banned from every bar in the country, according to the Daily Mail. Bravo! More »

A new study suggests that men who drink a lot of instant coffee or Brazil nuts may be at risk of developing man-boobs. Instant coffee and Brazil nuts in particular contain high-levels of "gender-bending chemicals," known as phytoestrogens, which also cause fertility problems in animals and increase the risk of breast cancer in women. Instant coffee has 1,833 micrograms of phytoestrogens per 100g and Brazil nuts had 867 microgams of phytoestrogens per 100g. Is this how Davy Jones's rack came about? [The Sun] More »

The New York Sun is kind of the also-ran of New York papers, not exactly known for being groundbreaking, and frankly, I keep forgetting it exists. But it must be around, because Lenore Skenazy wrote a piece today called "Our Baby Bump Obsession," pegged to the birth of the all-healing Jolie-Pitt twin deities who, mere days after being welcomed onto this planet, earned $7 million a piece, much more than some of us will see in our lifetimes. Writes Skenazy: "Babies are hot." But with all the pregnancy updates and IVF info and keeping track of trimesters, she laments, "It has become hard to tell if you're reading a supermarket tabloid or Gynecology Today." And then there's all the tabloids, pointing at tummies, looking for a thing called a "baby bump": More »

The women's Olympic field hockey team from the UK have a way to deal with the thick smog in Beijing: red contact lenses. The team will wear the lenses so they can spot the ball through the haze and also reduce squinting which can cause headaches. While The Sun seems to be tickled that the women will be wearing the lenses "despite the effect they have on the ladies' looks", we're thinking the only effect the lenses will have is to scare the shit out of the Olympians' competitors.

Well, as some suspected, Amy Winehouse is on crack. [This just in: Amy is now in rehab.] She's certainly not the first musician or singer to do drugs, and definitely not the last, but there is something different about Amy's rollercoaster trip through abuse and addiction: We're along for every second of the ride. Two Winehouse-related stories hit the papers today: Nick Kent writes for the Times of London: "The general public has developed an insatiable desire for watching its favourite stars debase themselves further and further in the public forum." Kent notes that Billie Holliday, Judy Garland, Keith Richards and Sid Vicious all had their substance abuses documented by the media. These days, not only can one can watch Amy Winehouse unravel on a daily basis, it's possible to join in: The crack-rock smoking clip was supplied to The Sun by a "friend." More »

National Orgasm Week kicks off in England today. And while the celebration is pretty much just a marketing gimmick by the week's sponsor, sex toy and clothier Ann Summers, it's still cool that an entire seven days is dedicated to women "getting there." In observance of the week, British rag The Sun published some "Sexy Tips" for helping the unfortunate 12% of UK women who claim they haven't had an orgasm. Some of the tips (like using a vibrator and a very detailed description of a position called the CAT) seem really practical and helpful. But the others, uh, not so much! More »
