Love! It is not for the faint of heart. What is it about l'amour that drives the "males" among us to hand out eerily-worded business cards to strange women on the street—to revel in our passive-aggression, trying to simultaneously embrace and flee from love's awkward embrace, by passing some kind of love note thing, which never works? It is a mystery. All we know, ladies, is this: more of your very own, very true, bad love connection stories are below. To Cupid's Garden!
The members of Yale's chapter of the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity, where both President George H.W. "Poppy" Bush and his son George W. Bush are proud legacies, will be suspended for five years after a little pledge incident involving chants of rape jokes.
This week is the television upfronts, when all the networks roll out their new fall schedules to try to convince advertisers to spend their cash and fill their shows with all those pesky commercials we fast forward past. Here are all the goodies Fox and ABC have to offer.
If your smartphone is one of the millions running Google's Android operating system, keep it off unsecured wifi networks like those at Starbucks. Your entire address book could be at risk. Ugh.
The federal government is working on new nutrition regulations for federally subsidized school lunch programs, meaning certain food industries will be waging all-out fights to protect their streams of revenue. This is not surprising in any way! Unfortunately, there's nothing in the Constitution protecting the potato industry's right to federal money, as Michele Bachmann wants the fight to be framed.
Here's a trailer for Steven Spielberg's motion-capture odyssey The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn, based on the beloved Belgian comics from yesteryear. A Tintin movie isn't on its face a bad idea, but this? This I'm not so sure about.

On Tuesday, May 17, in the wake of a report in the Los Angeles Times that Arnold Schwarzenegger had admitted fathering a child with a then-unnamed member of his household staff more than 10 years ago, we reprinted portions of a 2003 London Daily Mail story claiming that Schwarzenegger had fathered a child with a woman named Tammy Tousignant. Because some of the details from the Los Angeles Times story seemed to us to align with the Daily Mail's, we speculated that Tousignant was the woman that Schwarzenegger had acknowledged having affair with to the Times. In the course of reporting the post, we called and emailed Tousignant without success and reached her son—who is an adult and who denied that Schwarzenegger is his father—via Facebook message. We also noted prominently that Tousignant had denied the story to the Daily Mail when it was originally published.
Well goodness gracious we are back. With fiery lion roars, our most volatile Housewives—prone to violent lashings out—returned to the airwaves and, madonn, did they lash out.
It's the most adorable tech lawsuit ever! The family of the teenage founder of a popular Twitter account is suing his business partner for squeezing him out. Kids these days.
Poor Newt Gingrich, things just aren't going as perfectly as he'd imagined in this early presidential campaign of strange nonsense. Consider this fellow Gingrich met in Iowa yesterday. He doesn't want to be Gingrich's friend; he just wants to chastise him for throwing Rep. Paul Ryan under the bus. "Why don't you get out before you make a bigger fool of yourself?" he tells Gingrich, while still shaking his hand for like ten seconds.
