Beyonce Reveals the Power of the Fake Boob

She doesn’t need faux nipples, but she worked them anyway.

Oh Beyonce, you’ve put me in a bad position this time. I defended you when you took over multiple rooms while giving birth to Blue Ivy; I defended the lip-synching at the Inauguration, but the faux nipples … faux nipples, B? I don’t believe I’ve even heard the phrase before, “faux nipples,” let alone had to type them, or think about whether they are right or wrong.

You Might Not Have ADHD. You Might Just Be Tired.

Will we ever solve the mystery surrounding the symptoms and diagnosis of ADD/ADHD?

The New York Times recently fanned the flames of the controversy over whether many cases of ADD, and even ADHD, are actually cases of sleep deprivation. Every time this idea hits big media, the same reactions happen: Other media picks it up, overgeneralizes and twists it; camps are formed, and people go to (verbal) war.

Arianna Huffington Wants You to Unplug

The HuffPo editor also invited 800-plus guests at last night’s Drexel talk to blog for her empire.

A popular feature on the iPhone 5 (also available as an app on older models) is "Do Not Disturb," a program that blocks texts, emails and phone calls. Yes. An app that does the same thing that, well, the user can. My friend Janel said they should have called it "Will Power."

Want a Summer Job? Put Down the Cell Phone!

A few tips for teens looking for work.

Mayor Nutter’s initiative to get 10,000 Philadelphia teenagers hired for summer jobs—beating last summer’s number of 6,000 working teens—is admirable and ambitious. Teen employment means much more than pocket money; summer work has a direct correlation to future employment. Not only do learned skill sets transfer to future jobs, more nebulous traits like work ethic are developed.

New Disney Avengers Girl’s T-Shirt: “I Need a Hero”

The boy’s version declares "Be a Hero."

Merch for Disney’s Avengers movie has hit the stores, and the shit has hit the fan. They’ve released two t-shirts, one for boys and one for girls. The boy’s version says: “Be a Hero,” and the girl’s says: “I Need a Hero.” To add insult to injury, the girl’s version, is “girl cut,” which means body-hugging and scoop-necked, and oh, yeah, it’s $8 more.

New Study: Penis Size Does Matter to Women

Male scientist in Texas: "Just because a woman prefers a man with a large penis doesn’t mean that she’s going to find one."

Science has proven that women are more attracted to men with bigger penises! I don’t know if I want to say “Go Science!” or “Du-uhrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.” Male Homo sapiens have an almost disproportionately large penis when compared to other large mamamals. (An adult guerilla’s penis averages 1.5 inches long.) Apparently, it is far larger than it needs to be for its function, but may have become that way due to evolution: Many generations of prehistoric women choosing well-endowed men.

I Am Not Supposed to Like Lisa Scottoline

Inside the career of a best-selling writer.

I am not supposed to like Lisa Scottoline, the local author of 19 books of fiction, four books of personal essay, and a weekly columnist for the Philadelphia Inquirer. Her 20th book, Don’t Go, will be released next week.

Why Is Everyone Buying Gluten-Free Foods When They Don’t Have To?

The scourge of the single-word diet.

Math is not my strong suit, but something seems wrong here: A new study tells us that one-third of Americans are cutting back on gluten, but less than one percent of the population suffers from celiac disease, the condition that is the only reason for omission of gluten from the diet. So, why is everyone else buying gluten-free foods when they don’t have to?

One Family’s Obsessive Hunt for Lay’s Limited-Edition, Special Flavor Potato Chips

Area mother can’t rest till she scores a bag of Sriracha Hot Sauce or Chicken & Waffles.

I don’t know how the idea started, really. I mean, we’re not even potato chip people. But once I had the thought to buy Lay’s new "limited-edition flavors" potato chips for my daughter’s 22nd birthday, I became obsessed. As I said, we're not potato chip people, but classic potato chips and French onion dip has always been my daughter's favorite treat; she indulges maybe four times a year.
