Not Watching the Game? What to Do on Super Bowl Sunday
On average, 100 million people tune into the Super Bowl every year. Last year, it was estimated that 153.1 million viewers caught a portion of the New Orleans Saints and Indianapolis Colts battle for the Vince Lombardi Trophy (even if it was just to watch the halftime show). This year, fans will watch the Pittsburgh Steelers take on the Green Bay Packers in Arlington, Texas on Sunday, February 6th. With so much pomp and circumstance (and profit) built around one game, it’s nearly impossible to avoid the hype and excitement. But whether or not you’re a football fan, there are plenty of ways to celebrate Super Bowl Sunday that don’t involve actually watching men in tight pants tossing around a pigskin: … More »

Gallery: 10 Hollywood Celebrities Who Gained Major Weight for a Movie Role
Last week we gave you 10 celebrities who lost serious weight for a movie role, which, by the way, is a practice we don’t condone. Today, we’re doing the opposite – showcasing ten Hollywood movie stars who’ve gained serious weight for a movie role (or, who are we kidding, in the hopes of nabbing an Oscar, which several of them did). Losing or gaining, we’re not into dramatic weight shifts simply for the sake of a paycheck and royalties, no matter how hefty. It’s simply not healthy, even under the care of a professional. (A few of these celebs actually have experienced lasting negative health effects from their rapid weight gain.) In the cases of most of the gents, you’ll hardly recognize them. But the funny thing is that a few of the women actually look more normal and real after having put some meat on their bones. (Obviously, they were way too skinny to begin with.) Check out our gallery of ten stars who aren’t afraid to transform themselves into slightly overweight people whom Hollywood would never cast in movies in the first place. (And see exactly how much they gained during their hardcore hunt for Oscar.) … More »

Christmas Gift Guide Gallery: 8 Stocking Stuffers for Women
Christmas stockings are underrated. The best presents are inside them: Makeup, perfume, tights, scratch-off lottery tickets, jewelry, candy, underwear, and, of course, chocolate Santas. We love stockings because they’re way more fun to open than the presents under the tree. (Take that, sweaters.) Plus, Kris Kringle has room to fill our stockings with many lovely little things, and we can take our sweet time opening every single one of them over a hot cup of coffee. But because some people have trouble coming up with inventive stocking stuffer ideas, we created a gallery of eight stocking stuffers for women (and bourbon lovers). A few items are even eco-friendly, and all are lots of fun. Just make sure that sock is plenty big and long – and can bear some serious weight. … More »

Brothers-All-Natural Potato Crisps: Foods Michael Pollan Would Eat
No one’s perfect, right? Most people, no matter how healthy, still yearn for the crunch of a potato chip every now and then. At least, that’s what we tell ourselves. We’ll never know, but unless Michael Pollan is one of these demigods who never wants a food that’s crispy, salty, and satisfying, then let’s assume he wants a chip now and then too.

10 Things We Want to Do This Weekend
It’s time for the weekend, folks. We’ve got some idea of what we want to do over the next couple of days — do you?
Ditch the energy drinks.
Sometimes we think we need a little extra oomph, but not even the ones that claim to be natural are good for us.
Watch the ING New York City Marathon.
But we obviously aren’t running in it, so we don’t need to act like we are.
