If I owned the pink satin one-piece Carrie Underwood is wearing in the June issue of Marie Claire, I don’t think I would ever wear anything else. I mean, I should hope not—the swimsuit, from Burberry Prorsum, goes for $1,195. Regardless, it’s gorgeous, and she’s gorgeous, and my mom—who has been cheering for Underwood since her American Idol days—will love these photos, because these are exactly the kind of sexy but glam-pretty photos a mom could love.

Cassey Ho is one smart lady. With Gatsby fever in full-swing right now, Ho—a Pilates instructor and founder of health and fitness blog Blogilates—created a “Great Gatsby Cardio Dance” workout video. Absurd? Yes! And awesome? Also yes! More »

Last night, Sam and I attended an event involving Nelly, Mike and Ike candy and a lot of creative use of strawberries. Ostensibly, it was to celebrate “the reunion of Mike and Ike,” a pair of musicians and friends who had split over artistic differences but were coming together once again.

Alanis Morissette is awesome for many reasons, not the least of which is that she wore a bikini to the beach the other day with the words “Self Love” emblazoned across the butt. More »

Lest you thought the media had been cooling it with their relentless interest in the reproductive status of Jennifer Aniston, the HuffPo swooped in with some cheap speculation based on her Oscars appearance. Because if the man you’re in a relationship with touches your stomach area, you must be OMGZ preggers! More »

A few episodes into season two of Girls, most of us have gotten used to seeing Lena Dunham naked. We’ve even managed to stop discussing the size of her thighs and whether or not she’s obese. (Ok, everyone but Howard Stern, but what else would you expect?) But then she went and had TV sex with Patrick Wilson, and the internet collectively regressed to rating Lena Dunham’s looks on a scale of “Patrick Wilson would never screw her IRL” to “Patrick Wilson would screw her IRL.” She’s “not conventionally attractive,” people keenly observe, and Wilson is. So there’s no way that they could ever have sex in real life! And how can we even watch TV that isn’t realistic?!

This just in: Chris Pratt‘s abs are about to get tons of attention for their role in Zero Dark Thirty, where they star as the highly developed muscles of a Navy Seal. The Parks and Rec star went on Conan last night to talk about his role in the new movie about the Navy Seal team that took down Osama Bin Laden, but most of what he discussed was his physique…and he’s probably the least obnoxious actor ever to discuss their physical transformation for film.
