The gel has definitely worked for me to fade bruises faster...when I remember to use it immediately after a bad bump.

Thanks! I signed!

I donated today, too. Best $50 I've ever spent.

I (a Missoula native) was also expecting to maybe see it on the list. But then I thought about high school and the number of my then-closeted friends who have come out since leaving the town/state, and I realized maybe it didn't deserve to be. I have several gay family members, and the amount of anti-gay bigotry I…

If anyone hasn't seen A Better Life starring the amazing Demian Bichir, go rent it now. It was really under-reviewed, but it was amazingly moving and he was brilliant. How exciting that he was nominated!

The Intel Science Talent committee gives $1.25 million in awards and scholarships to winners and finalists. I went to high school with a kid who came in 2nd place and it pretty much covered his entire college education (MIT). $50,000 from Ellen is just the icing. She'll be fine.

Oh my god, I remember what a HUGE deal it was when we watched A Room With A View in high school. The teacher gave us all these warnings, and said if we were concerned we could skip the screening, offered to let students' parents call him if they were worried...on and on. And then of course all the guys in the class…

I love Charlize's hairdo, but the one weird thing — and maybe I'm the only one seeing this — is that it's very obvious that she's wearing fake hair. You can totally tell the difference in the color and texture of some of the braids. I can't unsee it now.

The Fug Girls posted this same question with a 2008 photo compared with now. I think she's lost some weight in her face, but it could be something more. Li'l Botox or a tiny eye lift? She still looks great.

I've had horseradish vodka (delish — imagine that in a bloody mary?). My friend tried to make black pepper vodka and it didn't turn out well, but I had a cocktail with black pepper-infused whiskey once (it was basically a bloody mary without the tomato) and it was amazing. A local bar in my neighborhood usually has…

At the Ace Hotel Lobby Bar in NYC they make a greyhound with a salt & chili pepper rim and it is THE BEST thing ever. With a side of salt & pepper peanuts. Drool!

I posted above, but wanted to comment that your High School sounds similar to mine — and I found that the people who bothered to go to the reunion were the ones who wanted to be there. And therefore, were there to have fun. Everyone had mellowed a lot since school and we all had a really nice time, even people who…

I went to my 10 year HS reunion (small Western town, graduated with a class of about 300). I live 2000 miles away in "the big city" now, and I was nervous going in, but it turned out to be actually, really fun. I only went because I was going to be in the area for a wedding, and my friend was on the planning…

I unsubscribed several years ago when I was really unhappy at my job. I got so sick of all the "It Girl" articles about New York women my age who are obscenely rich and don't work. The last straw was the 19 year-old socialite planning her wedding who was photographed in her $50K wedding dress. Enough!

Haha, like the "Chain of Screaming" in How I Met Your Mother: Marshall's boss's boss yells at him, he yells at Marshall, Marshall goes home and yells at Lily, Lily goes to work and yells at a Kindergartner, and the kid goes home and yells at his dad...Marshall's boss's boss. And the chain continues...

Blood's a Rover is a fantastic book and the J. Edgar and Nixon phone convo bits were SO WEIRD. I didn't know all this about the FOI requests — fascinating!

Yes, I saw this trailer over the weekend before the Descendents (and I have to say I never realized the W.E. movie that Madonna was directing was about this topic. How did I miss that?)... anyway, the trailer to me made it look like it's trying to be "the greatest love story of all time. OF ALL TIME!"

Her family also set up a trust for her care — I saw the link at the end of the piece on the Today Show website yesterday.

Yup, I've seen him in Brooklyn Heights several times. He's even tinier than you'd expect.

That surprises me since it seems to me a lot of Macy's customers actually pee in the dressing rooms anyway (at least at the Herald Sq Macy's in NYC. The dressing rooms in the lingerie section ALWAYS smell like urine to me, and I also once stepped in a pee-puddle in the Jr. department dressing room on 4.)
