| San Fran Hippies Protest McDonald's Menu Change Posted: 07 Sep 2010 11:05 AM PDT
Reports the San Francisco Chronicle:
Hmm…on the one hand, it sucks that the under-privileged now have to pay 51 cents more for their burger. On the other, I’m not feeling too bad about some Confederate flag tattooed crust punk whining that the man is charging him more for his Happy Meal. What do you think?

| Online Dating Is Just Not For Me (Right Now) Posted: 07 Sep 2010 10:25 AM PDT
After filling out a few basic things about myself, like where I lived, how often I worked out and my religion and how important religion is to me, I created my date — a trip to wait in line at Shake Shack in Madison Square Park and order something we’ve never gotten off the menu. My goal was to create a date that would keep us busy for an hour or so that would interest guys who love burgers or Shake Shack or Madison Square Park, which are all things that I love, too. After all that was created, I got to the tough stuff on the site. Although it was optional, I wanted to fill out my profile so that guys would be intrigued by my date — and me. Picking a photo was easy enough, but did I want to add more than one? And it took me a few weeks to get around to filling out more of my profile, by answering questions like “Your life story in 5 sentences,” which probably hampered my ability to attract those guys skimming my skeleton profile online. A few guys were intrigued by my date, and I started chatting with a couple online. I was surprised that some guys messaged me who were admitted vegetarians or non-red meat eaters. Did they not read the date description? Still, there were a handful of guys who seemed like they would make good company, but a busy schedule and a little bit of travel here and there meant I didn’t actually make a date with anyone for weeks. When I finally did make plans, we decided to meet at Shake Shack on a Friday after work. I limited pre-date communication with my date to just a few text messages. I wanted to enter the date with a fresh perspective on this mystery man. But as we got closer to the date, I started to regret my decision. I hoped it wouldn’t end up being a total mismatch and waste of time. When I finally met up with him, we had a perfectly lovely conversation, and he was very interested in me and my life. We both seemed nervous, which I think is pretty typical for a first date. After waiting in line for about 45 minutes, we seemed to relax once we settled into a little green table to eat. We chatted for another half hour before I had to go meet up with some friends, and he graciously walked me to the subway. (He paid for dinner, too!) I enjoyed my evening, and I liked the company, but I just didn’t feel a spark. And there were some things about my date that, had I known before the date, would have stopped me from agreeing to it — like the fact that he lives a bus ride away in New Jersey. Although it didn’t work out this time between me and my date, I also learned some things about myself, online dating and dating in general. I learned that standing in line does not make for a very comfortable first date (so much for my brilliant plan). And I learned that if I were to try online dating again, I would ask many more questions of my would-be suitor. That being said, I learned how important first impressions and personality on the spot are to me. I have always been attracted to guys who can make me laugh and feel comfortable, guys who are smart and witty and willing to engage in banter. You can’t really learn that about a person through text messages or email or IMs. Sometimes you can glean more about a guy’s personality on the phone, but that charm that turns me on doesn’t always translate through the phone. I’m sure if I went on enough online dates I would find someone who met my criteria, but my heart’s not really into it right now. I know I should probably give it some more tries, and make up some more dates, but for now, online dating just isn’t for me. Post from: Crushable Online Dating Is Just Not For Me (Right Now) |

| Angelina Jolie Visits Flood Victims In Pakistan Posted: 07 Sep 2010 09:58 AM PDT
We bet you didn’t spend your Labor Day weekend visiting the flood ravaged people of Pakistan like Angelina Jolie, who traveled to the Middle East today. But, let her philanthropy motivate you to give back in any way you can this fall. It might make you feel a little better about summer coming to an end. Angelina has donated $100,000 to survivors of the recent torrential rains in Pakistan, which have already killed 1,500 people and caused the worst flooding there in a century. “I am very moved by them and I hope that I am able to, today and tomorrow, be able to do something to help bring attention to the situation for all of the people in need in Pakistan,” Angelina said. Want to help? The American Red Cross lets you direct donations to Pakistan Relief and Development.

| Video: Cabury Commercial Equates Eating Chocolate With Hairy Palms Posted: 07 Sep 2010 09:50 AM PDT There is something vaguely off-putting about Thing from the Adam’s Family having a girlfriend, and said girlfriend being obsessed with chocolate. Is it just us, or is there some sort of underlying analogy in the Cadbury commercial between eating chocolate and partaking in other self-pleasuring activities?

| Dude Diary: Andrew Garfield, The Next Spider-Man Posted: 07 Sep 2010 09:22 AM PDT
Andrew was born in Los Angeles and raised in England. His family moved to Surrey when Andrew was three, where they shipped their budding thespian off to drama school. And, it turns out the next Peter Parker is Jewish. Our brand new Spidey is flexible. Andrew was a champion gymnast in his pre-teen years –- a skill sure to come in handy when he's swinging across all those NYC rooftops. If that’s not enough, the boy's also a model. He debuted his pretty boy pout in last December's Vogue, posing as Hansel to Lily Cole’s Gretel in a photographic homage to the Brothers Grimm story. And for some reason, Lady Gaga was there, too.
Andrew’s a lifelong Spider-Man fan! He recently talked to The Hollywood Reporter about the moment he was offered the role, saying: “My seven-year-old self started screaming in my soul and saying, ‘This is what we've been waiting for.’” Andrew already lives by the words "with great power comes great responsibility." He’s already picked out a handful of smaller roles to play post-Spider-Man so as not to become defined by the famous role. Andrew's also expressed an interest in doing a play immediately after wrapping his superhero blockbuster. We'll be there on opening night.

We spent our Labor Day weekend desperately clinging to the last rays of sunshine before fall swooped in for our popsicles and bikinis — and it looks like quite a few celebs had the same idea. Bethenny Frankel donned white for a daytime stroll around NYC, while The Situation packed up the Jersey Shore house and headed back home to Mom. Take a look at how some more celebs rang in the very last summer weekend in our Labor Day gallery. (Photos via WENN) Post from: Crushable Gallery: Stars Celebrate Labor Day |
They’re not loving it: San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury district, once a refuge for those runaways and Timothy Leary followers, is now being taken over by the man. No, it’s not the fact that there is a McDonald’s in the area, because that’s been there for years. Rather, it’s 
I’ll admit it: I never gave much thought to online dating. But after a year of being single and dating the traditional way (and by that I mean meeting guys through friends or at bars and complaining that they don’t bother calling before 2 a.m. and never want to take me out on a real date) I heard about 
It’s been a hectic couple of days on the Real Housewives of New Jersey front as the show’s second season came to a rocky end. Bravo
Andrew Garfield is about to become a household name. The 27-year-old actor has roles in upcoming movies The Social Network and Never Let Me Go, where he’ll share screen time with Justin Timberlake and Keira Knightley, respectively. Oh, and did we mention
