Hilarious Retro Cereal Boxes

Jan 5th 2009
By Paula Kashtan

Hungry for some sugary sweet, slightly creepy fun? Check out The Imaginary World's incredible archive of cereal boxes from the '50s, '60s and '70s.

Cheerios, Corn Flakes, Grape Nuts and all the other classics are there, but we're more interested in their lesser-known, long-extinct brethren -- Sir Grapefellow, Orange Kombos, Moon Stones and the like.

At left, one of our favorites: the unfortunately named Fruity Freakies. Mouth-watering as it sounds, it's not too hard to see why this one didn't stand the test of time.

Dangerous by Design: Fashion-Inflicted Injuries

Jan 5th 2009
By Erin Donnelly

Sure, those chic handbags and sky-high heels make you feel oh so supermodel(ish) ... but they're also mini death traps in the making. Read on for the most painful byproducts of looking pretty. Ah, the things we do for fashion ...

High Heelitis
Achieving statuesque status comes with a fair share of risks, as this Washington Post article helpfully/terrifyingly demonstrates. Those to-die-for pumps put added pressure on the joints (especially the knees), throw your body's alignment out of whack, tighten your calf muscles and Achilles tendons, and can result in a slew of unsavory side effects like bunions, hammertoes, Morton's neuroma, joint pain, sprained ankles and a heel-strap-induced "pump bump" called the Haglund's deformity.

And let's not forget that tragic episode of "Sex and the City" in which Kristen Johnson tripped on her stilettos and took a swan dive out the window. Talk about a fashion victim.

Sharon Osbourne Issues a "Charm School" Smackdown

Jan 5th 2009
By Julie Gerstein

Bret Michaels introduced us to a slew of trashlicious girls on seasons one and two of "Rock of Love", some of whom went on to star in the spin-off, "Rock of Love: Charm School" with Sharon Osbourne. "Charm School" challenged the girls to delouse and class up, rock and roll style, to win a bunch of money.

On last night's reunion episode, Sharon and one of the show's worst (best?) offenders, Megan, got into it after Megan said Osbourne was only famous for managing her "brain dead rock star husband," Ozzy.

Naturally, Sharon then dumped a glass of juice on the bikini-clad reality show regular and let her fists fly. Watch the catfight below.



Megan filed a police report after the incident, but so far no charges have been made against Osbourne.

Season three -- on a tour bus! -- debuted last night, giving us our first reason to live of 2009!

Dude Dictionary: G Is for Give It a Whirl

Jan 5th 2009
By Anna Goldfarb

Give It a Whirl (v.): The act of dating outside your comfort zone, just to get the taste of your last guy out of your mouth.

After a bad experience with your "usual," you work hard to purposely open your mind to different types of guys. So you accept a date with a guy you normally wouldn't. Do you usually go for the bad-boy type? Maybe you'll accept a date with a Mathlete, just to try it out. Or, if you only date jocks, you might go out with an art major.

"This is good! Look at me break the pattern," you tell yourself. But the plan backfires, because dating "a different type of guy" usually just means "any old guy."

Spending time with a guy you choose haphazardly is almost always a bust -- you have nothing in common and, worse yet, no interest. After that, the guy you were trying to get over in the first place has never sounded more appealing.

After giving it a whirl, almost every girl goes back to dating the kind of guy she knows she should avoid.

Tell us! Did you ever date a Mr. Wrong because you were trying to Give It a Whirl?

The Dude Dictionary is a collection of males and behaviors lovingly catalogued by Shmitten Kitten creator Anna Goldfarb. Got a dictionary entry you'd like to add? Let us know!

Hot Men Sleeping

Jan 5th 2009
By Julie Gerstein

There's nothing better than having a cute guy cuddled under your sheets on a cold winter night. Sure, watching someone sleep is a little creepy (think Lara Flynn Boyle in "Wayne's World" or Kate Hudson in the gem that is "How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days"), but these pics of men at rest make us melt.

Don't say we never did anything for you.

You Go Number Two, and I Do Too

Jan 5th 2009
By Amanda Hill

I once had a friend who endlessly swore to her boyfriend that she never went "number two." Never, ever. She was obviously fooling no one. While nobody likes to talk about it except for middle school boys and grown men that think they're middle school boys, we all know that all people poop.

I'm still not sure what she was trying to prove. But whether you admit to having normal bodily functions or not, if you are in a relationship long enough, at some point you will have to go when your partner is around. So my real question is this: How do you deal with it?

Sure, to some people, talking about bodily functions is taboo. But I think it is time to be honest, time to lay it all out.

J.Lo and Marc Hanging On, Regis and Kelly Get a Makeover

Jan 5th 2009
By Whitney Teal

J. Lo and Marc Anthony are still on their champagne campaign to convince everyone that they're actually happily married. The two, plus their adorable twin babies, were canoodling in Puerto Rico this weekend. (via Perez Hilton)

Regis and Kelly have apparently gotten the memo that their show is a big joke to anyone under 75. The show will debut an "updated" look, with a new set and theme music. (via People)

Lily Allen didn't spend the holidays with her family, but with her boyfriend, who is, coincidentally, old enough to be one of her parents. The new guy is Jay Jopling, a millionaire art mogul. We're not mad at her at all. At all. (via Dlisted)

Carrie Underwood is also residing in New Couple Central, with her supposed new man Mike Fisher, a Canadian hockey player. The only evidence is a recent hockey game that showed Carrie sitting with Fisher's fam while he played. (via Just Jared)


John Travolta and Kelly Preston have released a statement thanking the public for their kind words after the death of their teenage son, Jett. (via INO)


Madonna and her mini-me Britney Spears really love making musical magic together. Madonna's all set to perform with Brit-Brit on her upcoming Circus tour. Word has it that this performance will be the opposite of the Madonna/Britney coupling a few months ago at Madge's Hard Candy tour. Can you tell we're holding our breath? (via Mirror)
