Chocolate, wine, and now gossiping: the trifecta of healthiness

Screw this! Lets continue our gossiping over some chocolate and wine. Great idea! No one ever said ironing would help us live longer.

"Screw this! Let's continue our gossiping over some chocolate and wine." "Great idea! No one ever said ironing would help us live longer."

I was so excited when they reported that chocolate was good for you.  And then of course I was ecstatic when it was announced that wine was good for you too.  And for the last few years I have been hoping and praying that gossiping would turn out to be good for me too.  Well guess what??  IT IS!!

According to the highly intelligent kids at the University of Michigan, gossiping will help you live a healthier, happier and longer life. Apparently, it has something to do with hormones, and when women bond closely with other women, which inevitably means gossiping about stuff/celebs/neighbors, etc. the hormones do their thing and voila!, healthy stuff occurs in the body.

Anyway, I’m thinking that at the rate I consume chocolate, wine and gossip, it’s pretty obvious that I’m going to live to be about 200 years-old.  AWE-SOME!!

my leg! oh, god, leg cramp!!!

Well, what will the kids think of next…you know that popular past-time, Air Guitar, where you lift your leg in the air and strum at it like it’s really an electric guitar? Yeah, well, how about a little Air S*x?  Yeah, that’s right, Air S-e-x…apparently, this is a hot trend for the not-so-shy peoples all over the nation…in fact there is a championship world tour going on right now.  Yes, my dear readers, there are “champions” of this…actually, it is quite the performance art and I imagine there could be other honors bestowed upon these gyrating thespians, it’s only a matter of time.

Hey angry nurses, forgetaboutit…leave Carmela alone

Everybody’s favorite mob wife, Edie Falco, is now in a new Showtime series called Nurse Jackie. It’s intriguing enough, but let’s be honest, Edie will always be Carmela Soprano to me and that’s that. Regardless, I’m sure an edgy and controversial House-esque series on subscriber-only cable will appeal to lots of kids out there… and it helps that it’s kind of a slow “interesting TV” time right now.

Anyway, there is one scrubs-wearing group out there syringe-mad about the show: real-life nurses!

According to the NY Daily News, because Nurse Jackie pops vicodin and is unconventional in her professional/ethical ways, some of the nurses of America think that every citizen of this country will think that’s really how it is.  Well, it is, isn’t it??

Kidddddinnngggg…but seriously, c’mon, give us a bit more credit than that, please.  As Showtime so succinctly put it:

“This is a show of fiction, and its purpose, first and foremost, is entertainment,” said Stuart Zakim, vice president of corporate communications.

“We are confident the viewing public will understand that and can differentiate between a work of fiction and a documentary, which this clearly is not.”

Thank you, Showtime, for having faith in the American people…now those concerned nurses out there, I implore you to do the same. And please remember, it’s just TV, not life or death like you deal with everyday, right?? Sheesh.

On that note, here’s the first episode…

He will not rest until his amazingness is lathered all over the world

will ferrell

Just when I thought this man couldn’t get any better…he goes and makes sunscreen for charity, to raise funds for CancerforCollege.com, check it out here.  And according to the reliable kids at consumerist.com the sunscreens are real…so if it turns out they are a joke then please blame Consumerist.

And while I’m here I’ll give the guy a plug for his new movie, Land of the Lost, because that’s what he would want. Well, at least that’s what he told me last week. The movie premieres this weekend…but I have to confess, I’ll probably skip it and just stay home and watch Anchorman and Ricky Bobby instead. Why you ask? No, not because Land of the Lost looks mildly stupid, but because there seems to be a lot of bugs involved. And prehistoric-looking ones…yeah, no thanks…when it comes to dangerous creatures that can kill you I’ll just stick with Sex Panther and Karen the Cougar…
