Lottery or Perfect Body?

Which would you rather have? A million dollars from the lottery or the perfect body? A poll sponsored by Nutrisystem of 1000 adults found that nearly a fourth of respondents would pick a bangin' body for the rest of their lives over one million bucks.
Also, almost 50% said that if they could have one wish, they'd choose to be their perfect weight rather than to take 5 years off their age. The price we pay for beauty!

Movies over the Holiday Weekend!

Wow, theaters were busy this holiday weekend!! Did you head to Marcus Theaters?? The Hangover Part 2 had a record-shattering Memorial Day weekend!

Kung Fu Panda 2 opened a distant 2nd at $68 million and 3rd was Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides with $50.4.

Beer & Brush!?

A dentist in Texas has discovered a new way to lure patients to his practice -- free booze with every exam! Dr. Clint Herzog says that he offers patients a glass of beer or wine as soon as they walk in the door in an effort to take the edge off the experience. He says, "I really got tired of people saying, 'Hey, I don't like to go to the dentist no offense...' Well, it's kind of an offense because it's what we do all day!"

Don't be an Obnoxious Exerciser!

Being active is great....for you and your family...hopefully it will keep you alive longer, but please don't be an obnoxious exerciser! Here are 5 ways from Guyism.com that you can be really obnoxious while working out:
5. Wearing spandex - very few people actually have a body that looks good in spandex, everyone else looks rediculous!
4. Making your workout a competition - If you're on the treadmill, the only competition is between you and yourself....not the guy on the treadmill next to you.
3. Being the guy who sweats everywhere - Seriously, wipe yourself and the equipment down!!
2. Wearing shorts to run outside when the temperature is below freezing - You're not impressing anyone....you just look crazy!
1. Loud grunting every time you exert yourself - Ok, we know you're working out hard, but there's no reason to sound like a rhino in labor!!!

My Video Pick of the Day!

OMG, too funny that this little old lady from China LOVES Michael Jackson and even more funny that she made it on the show, China's Got Talent!

Outfits Guys Love on YOU!

Redbook magazine asked a group of guys about what outfits they like to see us in. Check it out...

Non-baggy sweats - Sure, baggy sweats are comfy at home, but slightly more body-hugging sweats or leggings are far more flattering for those lazy days at home.
Jeans & tank top - The key with denim; keep it simple. Guys don't want to see jeans that are too tight or too trendy. Casual jeans with a tank top = simply perfect!
Pencil skirt & heels - Surprisingly, most guys think mini-skirts arn't that sexy. They prefer the sexy librarian look -- as one guy put it: "Respectable yet flirtatious and inviting."
Simple sexy dress - Guys dont' need crazy designs, sequins or glitter. A classic, sexy cocktail dress keeps things simple and lets your curves do the talking.

Senior Prank worked!

In Illinois, a high school senior stole some stationery and envelopes from his school and sent out a formal letter to all senior parents telling them that there will be a "mandatory body cavity search" at prom for contraband. Needless to say, the letter was so well done that everyone's parents flipped out and have flooded the school with hundreds of outraged phone calls and emails! The senior who pulled off this work of genius has still not been identified! Too funny!

My Video Pick of the Day!

Our poor soldiers are put in harms way everyday and protect our freedoms 24/7, so they sure deserve time to relax and have fun....this video amazes me, as you will notice missles going off behind him as he is getting his groove on!

What's your biggest fear?

TheFrisky.com polled its readers and asked them what they feared the most, though fears like being in an accident or catching a terrible disease were cited, the number one fear for people was social anxiety -- yep, public speaking or otherwise being the focus of attention!
It proves that one of Jerry Seinfeld's observations is true: At a funeral, most people would rather be in the coffin than giving the eulogy!

Bieber a "Brat"!

CSI star Marg Helgenberger says Justin Bieber didn't act very professional when he appeared on the show. In an interview with a French radio show, Marg said, "I shouldn't be saying this, but he was kind of a brat." She claims Justin locked a producer in a closet and put his fist through a cake. NICE!

Bonus Video of the Day!

I love playing along with TV game shows....missed this one....too bad! "Can't seem to put my finger on Uranus"...was uttered from the contestant, before she realized what it would sound like :)

Reactions to the death of Osama.

Osama bin Laden's death had Hollywood tweeting up a storm the last 2 days! Here are some of the reactions:
Charlie Sheen: "Dead or Alive. WE PREFER DEAD! Well done SEAL team!"
Katy Perry: "I am relieved in some ways, but have a feeling of uncertainty now. I believe in justice, but don't you think that an eye for an eye will make the world blind?"
Jim Carrey: "Wow! The killed the Boogieman! I felt something was in the air tonight! Bin Laden era over!"
Neil Patrick Harris: "Everyone is sitting around my living room, mouths agape. Wow, what a night. Thank you, Mr. President, for such an eloquent speech."
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson: "Just got word that will shock the world -- land of the free...home of the brave. DAMN PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!...AMERICA BROUGHT IT...TEAM BRING IT FOREVER PROUD!"

Oh No! Leggins can make you FAT!

They may be fun and trendy, but leggings also may be making you flabby! Apparently when you wear leggings, your muscles become lazy. This is because leggings "hold in and support the quadriceps (thigh muscles), buttocks and core muscles in your tummy, and do the job the muscles are supposed to do," says Physiotherapist Sammy Margo. Your muscles get relaxed in leggings and then are not as firm once it's time for the leggings to come off. Learn more legging lovers!

Beer Candy!!

Sounds....interesting, doesn't it?! Beercandy was created last year by homebrewer Steve Casselman and comes in different forms -- beer-fueled, chocolate-covered caramels and hop-oil flavored hard candy! They are a bit pricey. A 12-pack of caramels can be as much as $18.50 and eight ounces of hop drops cost $15.00! Just a little more than beer! Check out their website!
