Do Those Food Carts Always Smell So Good?
I pass these food carts selling some sort of spiced meats, and I'm soo jealous. Smells too good. Always makes me hungry.

Does Suri's Third Birthday Make You Feel Old?!
Can't believe she's turning 3. That Suri Cruise.
What's more shocking is that Tom and Katie are still together and he hasn't shipped her off to whatever planet he fell off of.

Are The Media Merciless To Jennifer Aniston?
The tabs are talking about nervous Jennifer Aniston was at the Oscars since Brangelina was sitting in the front row while she presented.
Of course she was nervous! She's a person, remember? She's a person - not a shell in a dress - that was left for another woman. Publicly.
They keep speculating about her on-again-off-again relationship with John Mayer. Personally,I think she can do better, but we'll see what happens.
But they quote people as saying that she's "needy" and "clingy." We don't know that.
Give the woman a break!

Was CosmoGIRL superfluous?
I feel pretty smart. Kinda.
One of my last semesters in college included a PR class. We had to write a fictional press release. My idea? Hearst publications notifying its readers that due to the environmental concerns, and the glaring similarity to Seventeen magazine, CosmoGIRL would cease publication, or be condensed with Seventeen.
Seventeen has been around forever. It was bought by Hearst, I believe, in the early 2000s, around the time CosmoGIRL was launched.
Over a year later, I was proven prophetic. Yup. Hearst Publications has ceased publication of CosmoGIRL.
They offered both mags for $12/year. I got both. 50 cents a magazine? I ain't complaining.
But how many times can you read about idiotic not-really-famous celebrities, (America's Next Top Model Winner! Heidi Montag from The Hills!) and The Best Make-Up for Your Skin! The Cutest Outfits! What His Kiss Says! How To Make Him Like You! How to Lose Weight Fast! ...all the while convincing us that we aren't all about what we wear, we shouldn't have to make him like us, and we should love our bodies...
So, in the end, will I miss CosmoGIRL?
Not too much.
