Girly Throw Downs Safe for now… Though he’s a marked manchild, Robert Pattinson has managed to steer clear of the skank brigade so far.

Ben Affleck Ben and Bana do good It’s a time of giving. And giving back. Eric Bana took time out to support the Youth Off The Streets project in Australia, not unlike what we do at Covenant House Vancouver.

Jeremy Piven What’s up Piv? Jeremy Piven decided to use his hiatus time from Entourage for a very well received stint on Broadway in Speed the Plow but he bailed on Tuesday and Wednesday and then took off for LA on Wednesday night, citing mercury count as the reason – something about his doctor ordering him By Lainey • Dec 18, 2008 01:54 am

Book Review Bonk: the curious coupling of science and sex Did you know that Alfred Kinsey once shoved a toothbrush inside his pee hole while investigating erogenous zones?

Break Ups Making it work It’s her way… and it’s the way of her world.
