| Newly Married Jessica Simpson in Sexy Swimsuit, Takes Husband's Name Posted: 15 Jul 2014 04:42 PM PDT  Jessica Simpson is now Jessica Johnson! That seems to be how newlywed Jessica Simpson, who got married July 5 to former NFL player Eric Johnson [see wedding pictures], wants to be addressed now. She posted the above photo on Instagra today morning wit the caption, "Jessica Johnson" though her handle and profile still read "Jessica Simpson." From her toned figure in the pics, it's hard to believe that Jessica is a mom of two, her daughter Maxwell, 2, and son Ace, 12 months. But Jessica had struggled with being overweight in the past. She had to join Weight Watchers for several years - taking time off to have her babies - before she came down to her goal weight. Now she just looks so hot!         | ||||||||
| How Sandra Bullock Came Face-to-Face With Her Stalker Right In Her Bedroom Doorway Posted: 15 Jul 2014 04:09 PM PDT  So scary! Sandra Bullock actually came face-to-face with the intruder she called 911 on, after he broke into her home last month, and it was right outside her bedroom. In police reports, Sandra says that at 1 AM while in her bedroom, she heard a loud banging inside the house. When she goes to her bedroom door to close and lock it, she sees the intruder, Joshua Corbett, right there in the hallway wearing dark clothing. Sandra Bullock says that was when slammed the door shut, locks it and calls 911. She told cops she had showered before going to bed, so the intruder may have been there the whole time. When the cops arrived, Corbett began screaming, "Sandy, I'm sorry. Please don't press charges." TMZ reports that the man was carrying a notebook with cut-out magazine pics of Bullock and multiple, handwritten notes. One of the notes said, "I will forever be thinking of you and Louie, my son, as you are my wife by law, the law of God and you belong to me and me to you." Corbett also forgives Bullock for "anything you may have done" and then tries to compliment her, writing Bullock is "hot and intelligent, lissome and taught [sic]." Wow, that is crazy. I think she should get some security for her homem considering she has a young son.      | ||||||||
| True Love Letter - After 61 Years Marriage, He Hasn't Found Any Woman to Compare to His Wife Posted: 15 Jul 2014 02:05 PM PDT  For their 61st anniversary this year, 87-Year-Old Bob Phillips decided to write his wife Gail, a love letter and publish it in their local newspaper, the Charlotte Observer. He wrote: Dear Gail, According to WBTV which interviewed the couple after they saw the love letter in the newspapers, Bob Phillips admits though he might be romantic now, his proposal to Gail wasn't the most romantic. "I had taken her home and before she got out of the car, I said 'Gail will you marry me?' That was it. How's that for romantic?" In 61 years that might have been the one and only time Bob wasn't romantic. But Gail said yes. 61 years later, she hasn't regretted it for a second. Every day they shower each other with affection. He showers her with beautiful words that come from his heart. Bob says in the interview; "My years with her have been for better or for worse, but worse with her is better than better with anybody else." So you see, this man is real! His wife Gail attests, and says he has never had a problem sharing his feelings about her, though sometimes she doesn't feel like she deserves it. "Sometimes it's overwhelming because I don't feel like I come up to the mark sometimes." His answer? "Way over. Way over the mark." As for the brides he's searched every Sunday for 61 years, not a one yet has been as lovely as his. But he says he's found two who come close. Did I hear you ask why can't all men be like Bob and love their women so openly and so sweetly? LOL... Check out the video to see Bob and Gail and the two women who have even come close to being as lovely as Bob remembers his pretty bride.

| When Does Garnishing a Meal Cross The Line? See This Nigerian Man's Food Presentation! Posted: 15 Jul 2014 12:52 PM PDT  I regularly share pictures of my dinner or weekend brunches on Instagram and Facebook, and today, one of my male FB friends shared a picture of his dinner for last night, saying he had made it himself. He tagged me in the pic, saying I had inspired him to eat more fruits and vegetables. He captioned it; All these women acting like if they dont cook i will starve. Well, i made me a balanced diet. Low fat.Now, I am happy that Nigerian men are still cooking, and that I've inspired someone to make their food more healthy, but I want to think I present my plates better than this! Without the carrot and oranges to garnish the meal, the Indomie with dodo and fried eggs actually looks yummy. On food garnishing or plate presentation, I don't usually do that when I'm just about to eat. But sometimes when we have guests and I'm dishing in a bigger serving dish, I might make more of an effort. But I know my friend is joking, he's my paddy like that. KC, I love you still, but next time, keep your fruits out of your finished plate. Or you can learn from the Food Network masters. I swear those chefs on there can know how to turn fruit and vegetable garnishes into high ART! Who else decorates their food like my friend KC? Below is how my plate looks when I am about to eat...I call it InstaFood

| Giant African Snails From Nigeria Seized and Destroyed at Los Angeles Airport Posted: 15 Jul 2014 11:13 AM PDT  Airport officials in LA have seized and destroyed a consignment of 67 live African snails sent from Nigeria to a resident in the US, saying the snails are poisonous and highly destructive. The snail consignment arrived in the States from Nigeria on July 1st in a blue baskets pictured above. When I heard the news on the radio here, I laughed and then I shook my head, sad at the poor snails and the Nigerian who will be crying because there will be no snail in their cooking pot this month. I remember one time I travelled to Nigeria and was coming back with these two beautiful tubers of yam my MIL had painstakingly selected for me and it was seized and destroyed at customs. I cried for a whole year, and still tremble with the last vestiges of that pain till today. Don't blame me, I love yam. Back to the tory jare... According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the snails are prohibited because they can carry parasites that are harmful to humans, including one that can lead to meningitis. They also say it can destroy local crops. Maveeda Mirza, the U.S Customs and Border Protection program manager say they are investigating why an individual would want to consume such an amount of deadly snails. She said; "We're investigating what happened, but it doesn't seem like there was smuggling involved. When someone doesn't know a commodity is prohibited under USDA regulations there is usually no punishment." What the owner of the snails should have done is maybe smoked and packed the thing well in newspaper wrappings. I've also realized that US Customs regulations on prohibited food change regularly, so anyone who wants to bring back stuff or send for their favorite delicacies should check their website. RIP Snails, even though I don't own you, I wish I had you in my pot or oven.      | ||||||||
| Woman Accumulates Over £6,000 Debt Because She Wants To Look Like Kim Kardashian Posted: 15 Jul 2014 10:47 AM PDT  A British woman named Claire Leeson has taken her obsession with Kim Kardashian so far that it's caused her to go into debt. Leeson has had a boob job, teeth whitening, hair extensions, nails, spray tans and has purchased a ton of shoes, clothes and makeup. And due to her lavish spending, Claire, who spends £4,500 on her hair extensions alone, has accumulated over £6,000 in serious debt. But according to her, these drastic steps she has taken to appear more like the Kim, 33, are an attempt to gain self-confidence after being severely bullied in her childhood. The 24-year-old during an interview with ThisMorning revealed she has spent almost £20,000 to look just like Kim Kardashian, splashing out on everything from boob jobs and bum padding to shoes and clothes. In addition to speaking to the media, Claire Leeson has also been hyping herself on Twitter.   Claire Leeson said in her interview; "When I left school friends would tell me that I had a resemblance to Kim. So, I watched Keeping Up With the Kardashians and realised I had the same amount of siblings and that we have the same kind of arguments and things going on. I thought she was so beautiful and I really wanted to be like her." So, do you think she looks like Kim Kardashian, and all that money is well spent?        | ||||||||
| Magazine Covers - Zoe Saldana is Feisty and Fearless in Denim For Marie Claire Posted: 15 Jul 2014 10:03 AM PDT  Zoe Saldana was last featured on RML Couple Love with her husband Marco Perego, and she's talking about him as she covers the August 2014 issue of Marie Claire. Zoe describes herself as an "iron-fisted lady," a woman who "will not take any bullshit," and someone who was known during her teenage years in the Dominican Republic as a "bad seed." "You cross me as a lady, it's over." Looking at her petite frame, it's hard to believe that right? But every woman needs that little edge of steel. Check out Zoe's thought on relationships, and her love story with hubby below...   On her relationship with husband Marco Perego: "I don't do the ABCs. I do what my heart says, what my heart feels. So from the moment I met my husband, we were together. We knew." On the biggest thing she's learned about relationships: "Not to settle. If you're not happy with a person, leave. And wait until you find that one person who makes you feel good about yourself every single day and is not expecting you to change, but to grow." On disrespect: "I have been in relationships where a man has disrespected me, and I don't need to be friends with that man anymore. I don't want to be the one going, 'I'm cool, because I'm friends with all my exes.' There's a reason why you're called an ex. I crossed you off my list. Moving on. You cross a line, you need to know that you're going to walk this earth knowing that there's an individual who has no respect for you."      | ||||||||

| Do You Prefer Your pets to Your Partners and Other Family Members? Posted: 15 Jul 2014 08:48 AM PDT  To celebrate national pet month back in April, the folks over at gonedigging.co.uk decided to take a look at how people celebrate their pets through special occasions and holidays, and the rivalry between pets and partners. And now the results are out! The numbers they dug up - see the inforgraphic below- confirm that pets are literarily ruling the roost, with the vast majority of owners considering that their pets bona-fide members of the family! Since no one would think of leaving a member of the family out of a special occasion, it would appear pet owners are pampering their pets with special gifts at Christmas, birthdays, and even on Valentine's Day! Sometimes more than their spouses and other human members of their family! So for you, is it a case of me or the dog?              | ||||||||
| Mariah Carey Under Fire For Photoshop Fail As Before and After Magazine Pics Surface Posted: 15 Jul 2014 07:02 AM PDT  This is not the first time Mariah Carey has come under fire for photoshopping the images she put out to the public. Not up to a month ago it was about the cover image on her latest album. Now under issue are her pictures in the Wonderland Magazine with her twins, and according to the unretouched images obtained by Jezebel, all the pictures had to be redone! Terry Richardson shot Mariah Carey for the magazine and his bright shots were not acceptable to Mariah, her team or the magazine. Who else is surprised? Mariah Carey is in her forties, still selling music to teenagers, of course she wants to look younger and skinnier so as to appeal to them. I think photoshop is better than going under the knife, at least she accepts herself as she is, and her husband Nick Cannon and her kids are not complaining. I think the image alteration is purely for business and the public. Check out the pics below...          | ||||||||
| 5 Ways to Kick Start Your Dying Sex Life Posted: 15 Jul 2014 04:08 AM PDT  By Lola Augustine Brown Is turning in early more enticing than a hot-and-heavy romp with your mate? After years of living together, it can be challenging to keep the lust alive, but satisfaction with your sex life impacts happiness in your relationship, says sex researcher Robin Milhausen. At the same time, feeling emotionally connected to your partner stimulates arousal, so building the bond you have is a surefire way to heat up your love life. Here are five ways to reignite the passion in your relationship. 1. Seek an adrenaline rush. Think back to when you firststarted dating and the anticipation you felt while wondering if he'd call. This uncertainty is exciting. "Once you're married with kids, most of that danger is usually lost and you need to add some back in," says Milhausen. It can be as simple as a participating in an activity together that gets the adrenalin pumping—riding a roller-coaster or even watching a horror movie. "Anything that gets your central nervous system aroused will bond couples. If you go through a really intense experience together, it will bring you closer. We see this on The Bachelor all the time. People always seem to end up picking the people they went bungee jumping with," she says. 2. Learn massage together. Most people enjoy receiving a massage, but men can be intimidated by giving one because they don't know how, says Trina Read, a Calgary-based sexologist and the owner of sex advice site VivaXO.com. Read suggests watching a massage video together for instruction and ideas, or attend massage school courses for couples. Doing something completely out of the norm together will bring you even closer, says Read. 3. Schedule time for romance. Ninety-three percent of men and women say a romantic evening enhances their arousal, says Milhausen based on her research. "This is really hard when you have busy lives and jobs, and kids. Some people think that scheduling this time makes it lose some of the romance, but you just need to flip that on its head and make it all about anticipation," she says. "Scheduling a hot date three weeks from now doesn't mean it's boring; it means you have three weeks to think about the fun you're going to have, and text each other and talk about it." 4. Develop a new routine. Alice Kirstead* says she and her husband, though under one roof, were living separate lives. So she made an effort to bring them closer. One way was through playing Scrabble. "This helped us start talking again and feel more connected. It led to more mental and physical intimacy," she says. "And yes, we'll sometimes end up making love afterward." If board games aren't your thing, create the opportunity for discussions, for example, a walk after dinner. Sitting and watching TV together defeats the purpose, so make sure it's something that facilitates communication instead of inhibits it. 5. Update your underwear. Being in the mood doesn't always just happen organically, says Read, but you can inspire intimacy intentionally. Try throwing out all your saggy, unattractive underwear and buy intimate apparel that makes you feel good. "Choose something you feel nice in, and while you're at it, buy him some new undies too," she suggests. "You could even go underwear shopping together—that could be another fun way to connect." * Name changed Confidence is sexy! Let us inspire you to try something new.      | ||||||||
