Is Your Man Hot? Check His Hands


Surprising correlation of the day: apparently, male attractiveness can be gauged by looking at the length of a guy’s … fingers. Seriously! A new study by researchers at the University of Geneva in Switzerland found that the ratio between the length of a man’s right index and ring fingers is linked to facial attractiveness.

The ratio is being called 2D:4D (for second digit: fourth digit), and is determined by the amount of testosterone hormones a man is exposed to in utero. Levels of testosterone exposure in the first trimester contribute to facial development, which is why a greater, more “masculine” 2D:4D ratio can predict sexiness.

So in addition to checking for a ring, you now have another reason to ogle a guy’s ring finger —the longer it is than his index, the hotter he probably is. But you should check his face too, just to be sure.

Chris Colfer Sells Pilot to Disney


Glee star Chris Colfer is at it again! The 20-year-old Golden Globe winner, who can sing, dance, and act, is apparently a talented writer as well — and he’s just sold a pilot for a new show to the Disney Channel.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the series will be entitled “The Little Leftover Witch,” based off of Florence Laughlin’s children’s book by the same title. The show is about a young witch who falls off of her broom down to earth and ends up living with a non-magical family.

What you might not know is that this isn’t Colfer’s first writing gig; he also wrote an indie coming-of-age movie, “Struck by Lightning,” which is set to begin filming this summer.

James Frey to Appear on Oprah: Will She Rip Him Into "A Million Little Pieces" Again?



The NY Post's Tara Palmeri is reporting that James Frey, author of "A Million Little Pieces," will appear as one of the final guests on The Oprah Winfrey Show this season.

Winfrey recommended her readers pick up his best-selling memoir, but then later had the author on the show and tore into him after he revealed he had fabricated parts of the story. Frey reportedly fled to France for a time because of the backlash.

According to a source, the author and talk show host have since resolved their issues, and Frey will appear on her show next month to talk about what has happened since his last appearance on the show.

Frey's latest book, "The Final Testament of the Holy Bible," is out tomorrow, and according to Palmeri, the book is going to be nothing if not controversial:

"Frey is set to ignite another fire storm with his new book, in which the Second Coming of Christ takes place in the Bronx projects -- but the messiah turns out to be a former alcoholic who impregnates a prostitute. It's being published in a limited edition of 10,000 copies by Gagosian Gallery and as an e-book by Frey and WME."

Readers, will you read Frey's latest novel? More importantly, will you tune in to see the author on The Oprah Winfrey Show?

Demi Lovato Reveals She Suffers from Bipolar Disorder, Joins "Love is Louder" Movement



Demi Lovato, who has recently spent time at a treatment facility for emotional problems, is taking very brave and honest steps to be open about her struggles.

The actress and singer revealed, among other things, her struggle with food and cutting, and yesterday, she announced she is suffering from bipolar disorder.

Demi announced:

"I never found out until I went into treatment that I was bipolar. Looking back it makes sense. There were times when I was so manic, I was writing seven songs in one night and I'd be up until 5:30 in the morning."

This announcement comes days after Catherine Zeta-Jones publicly sought treatment for bipolar II disorder. At the time, Lovato tweeted her encouragement, saying, "I don't know Catherine Zeta-Jones personally but what she has decided to do it SO brave.. And SO difficult but worth it... I'm proud of her."

Lovato recently joined the "Love is Louder" movement with Seventeen Magazine, telling her fans to remember that "Love is Louder than the pressure to be perfect." For more on the movement, please visit http://loveislouder.com/.

Readers, if you or someone you know is suffering from bipolar disorder, please visit the National Institute of Mental Health's page here: http://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/publications/bipolar-disorder/complete-index.shtml.

New Old Spice Guy vs. Isaiah Mustafa


There’s a new man your man could smell like — and he “smells like he looks amazing.”

The new Old Spice guy, is doing spots (not yet aired in the U.S.) for the brand’s Danger Zone line of products.

Unfortunately, the new man in town doesn’t ride horses or pose shirtless, and worst of all, he’s NOT Isaiah Mustafa.

Instead, this Old Spice man wanders through the jungle, gets attacked by piranas, and gets hit by a bus — all while managing to avoid the smell of “fear and body odor.”

Readers, what do you think of the new Old Spice commercial?

Susan Boyle Wax Figure Unveiled


A Susan Boyle wax sculpture was unveiled yesterday at Madame Tussauds, and it looks just like her!

Boyle, who became an instant celebrity after her appearance on “Britain’s Got Talent” in 2009, unveiled the wax figure at the new Madame Tussauds in Blackpool, England.

The figure took four months to create and sports one of Boyle’s own dresses; the Daily Mail reports that Boyle is pleased with the final result.

"'What can you say? They have done a very good job. It feels fantastic," she told the paper. "It was such a great process to be involved in and it looks very realistic."

Readers, what do you think of Boyle’s wax counterpart?

World's Most Expensive Shoes Can't Sell


Ever wanted to walk around in shoes made out of solid gold and diamonds? Now you can!

Made by British jewelry designer Christopher Michael Shellis, the shoes pictured above cost a staggering $319,460, making them the most expensive pair of shoes in the word.

The shoes, which took three years to make, feature over 2,000 diamonds — about 30 carats worth, that is.

According to Shellis:

“The aim of this was to create a unique form of jewellery which you can wear on your feet. It’s a bit like if you found these on an archaeological dig in thousands of years time they would be regarded as a treasure – a treasure of the feet. But like any great treasure it will remain as beautiful as the day it was created – and we even offer an ‘eternity’ guarantee lasting 1,000 years.”

Apparently, though, the designer’s enticing sales pitch hasn’t managed to lure any customers; no one has bought a pair of the ridiculously expensive shoes yet (even though they’ve been on the market for five months now). Maybe the world’s millionaires have better taste than we thought?
