Posted Thursday August 26 2010 at 9:33amIs Mariah Carey Wearing a Maternity Dress?
Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon refuse to comment on the rumours that Mariah is pregnant, which is totally understandable as most couples like to wait until everything is proven to be ok with the pregnancy, but that doesn't stop everyone from being curious! Mariah stepped out in a maternity dress from a company called A Pea in the Pod.

Five Ways To Help Your Kids Do Well In School:o pressure here, but how your kids do in school influences their self-esteem, their future job prospects, and their financial success. And if you really want your kids to do well, you can't just rely on their teachers.
So here are five ways YOU can help your kids do better in school . . .
#1.) MAKE SURE THEY GET ENOUGH SLEEP. A recent study showed that missing just one hour of sleep a night can lower a child's cognitive ability by almost TWO YEARS. In other words, a NINTH-grader who gets six hours of sleep instead of seven will only perform at a SEVENTH-grade level the next day. So when they go to bed, make sure that they actually GO TO SLEEP, and that they're not playing games on the computer or watching TV. 62% of kids admit to using their cell phones in bed, and their parents have no idea.
#2.) DON'T WORRY TOO MUCH ABOUT GRADES. Researchers at Columbia University found that it's better to concentrate on how HARD your kids are working, NOT how high their grades are. The study showed that if you praise kids for how much they study, they're more likely to grow up thinking anything's possible if they just try hard enough.
#3.) RESPECT THEIR LEARNING STYLE. Just because YOU studied in complete silence doesn't mean your kids have to. Children learn in different ways. So if they want to listen to their iPods and do their homework in bed, let them. But when they're using their computer, just make sure they REALLY ARE studying, not talking to their friends online.
#4.) HAVE DINNER TOGETHER. According to a recent study, kids get better grades if they sit down for dinner with their family on a regular basis. And they're also less likely to abuse drugs or develop an eating disorder.
#5.) DON'T STRESS THEM OUT. Fighting in front of your kids REALLY DOES affect them. Research shows that family-induced stress can lower a child's ability to learn for up to two days after the incident. So, arguing in front of your kids on a Wednesday night can affect how they do on FRIDAY'S test.
Is Your Man in a Bromance?? your man wear matching shirts with his best friend? Do they have a "song"? Perhaps, they call or text each other all the time and ignore all their other friends for their new Bro... this could mean he's having a bromance. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Is your man in a bromance?

Do prenups take all the romance and trust out of relationships? A 35 year old woman wrote in about her boyfriend of three years finally asking her to marry him. All is goung welll until he tells her over dinner thst she'll need to sign a pre-nup since his family is very, very wealthy. If the marriage fails, even if it is not her fault or he cheats...she gets nothing. Does it seem like he's pretty confident he's eventually gonna cheat???

RULES ARE RULES
In Hatteras, North Carolina, a team of fishermen thought they had hit the big time after winning first place in the prestigious Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament. However, as they were salivating over their $1.2 MILLION DOLLAR prize money-- including a bonus for single-largest catch-- one of the judges discovered that one member of the team, Peter Wann, had not gotten his $30 North Carolina coastal recreational fishing license before their boat pushed off that day. Therefore, under the rules, the entire team was disqualified, and the runner-up, from Cape Carteret, N.C., got the money. Ouch!
PARENTS LEFT ME HANGIN'
Comedian Woody Allen used to tell a joke about being abondanded by his parents who "left no forwarding address." But that actually happened to Ken Anderson in Vancouver. When Ken was only 15, both his mother, Shirley Anderson, and his father just picked up and moved away with nary a word to their son. Now Ken's 46 and despite this, Shirly is actually suing him for parental support thanks to an archaic 1922 law in British Columbia that obligates adult children to support "dependent" parents! She's demanding $350 per month from Ken and his four siblings-- three of whom were at least 17 when the parents left and thus not considered "abandoned." A judge initially awarded the mother the money based on the law but the siblings are appealing.
HOW MUCH IS THAT PAY PAL
In Houston, Texas, 24-year-old Derek Lanphier got the surprise of his life when his bank balance turned negative to the tune of almost $880,000 after PayPal charged him almost a million dollars. Derek initially panicked after discovering a $3,000 purchase on his PayPal account. He called PayPal and his bank to report the fraud and to stop any further purchases he thought was part of a phishing attack of his account. But panic turned into disbelief when Lanphier saw the negative $888,871.91 balance. He finally started laughing and saved a screenshot of the amount in the Account Activity dashboard to show to his friends. The bank later promised to reverse the charges. Derek said he uses his PayPal account for iTunes puchases.

Posted Wednesday August 11 2010 at 9:35amSteven Slater gets Hero Status!
Yesterday we told you about 38 year old Steven Slater, he's the JetBlue Flight Attendant who got B&^%$ slapped by a passenger and then went off. Cursed her out, grabbed 2 beers, deployed the emergency chute and slid to fame. Well, he's out of jail. Steven was charged with reckless endangerment, criminal mischief, and criminal trespass, and his bail was set at $2,500. It was posted last night. There are now facebook pages, twitter accounts and anything you can think of to support Slater and his legal fees.

Posted Tuesday August 10 2010 at 9:24amFree Steven Slater!
This story is about a JetBlue flight attendant who's 100% going to get fired . . . but at least he had one of the most AMAZINGLY BAD*$$ EXITS EVER. He is 38-year-old Steven Slater of New York, and he's a flight attendant for JetBlue. Yesterday afternoon, he was working on a flight from Pittsburgh to JFK airport in NYC. When the plane landed, Steven got into an argument with a female passenger, who stood up early to get her suitcase out of the overhead compartment . . . then SMACKED Steven with the bag when he told her to sit down.
They argued. It escalated. Steven ended up getting on the intercom . . . cursing out the ENTIRE plane, especially the woman . . . then grabbing some BEERS . . . pulling the plane's emergency inflatable chute . . . and sliding down onto the runway! After he got down the slide, he ran off into the terminal . . . and managed to escape from the airport before officers could find him. He's been charged with criminal mischief, reckless endangerment and criminal trespass. He could get up to seven years in prison.
This is all I am posting. Laptop is passive aggressive.
