She said: "I have a few love scenes. I eat and seduce everyone - boys and girls. There's a lot of kissing and craziness. It was awkward, it's always awkward and it's never fun." Megan, 22, also revealed she found it difficult to shoot steamy scenes with her co-star Johnny Simmons, especially when he salivated in her mouth. She added to FOX News: "My co-star Johnny Simmons and I got really close a

The Maricopa County Awkward Standing Competition is an annual event catered to those who have turned their uncomfortable posing into a way of life. As we noted last year, two titans of the labored lounge squared off. The competition was ultimately declared a tie.This year’s competition just got a bit more interesting. Real Estate mogul, Michael A. Pollack and former Maricopa County Treasurer and

Last weekend when we traveled to my FIL's home to celebrate his birthday we bought not only our own 3 kids but two of their friends. Bianca had a friend with and Kat brought The Boyfriend. The Boyfriend and she have been dating for about 9 months now, and she has really only had one other boyfriend; The original "Boyfriend" whom she dated for 2 years and was ironically (?) also tall an

I understand how you feel, creating an awkward mood around the opposite sex seems almost impossible to get rid of - but trust me it's not.How do you get rid of the awkward feeling in any situation?

In a previous blog, we drove home the true threat posed by global warming. Several polar bears may have been set off on that great ice-floe journey from which there is no return since that posting; however, the danger that we were pointing out looms large much closer to home – as close as your basement fridge – the possibility of a global beer crisis due to a lack of barley. The warming of the

This is the record that had its tail sniped by those cautious, clueless folks over at Universal. They removed a few songs for being too crazy, or murderous, or whatever adjective they arrived at after 25 videoconferences on the matter.

So tonite my friends and I experienced a little internal riff. We let me set the scene, for you. B and I are getting an apartment together because we both hate our places and she is starting her Rx rotations so she will only be in town on the weekends primarily and I dont want to have to re-up in this dump for another 6 months to a year. Well we have already pretty much decided where we are going to move, but the problem is that Steve has been hinting that he wants us to move in to his complex which is both more expensive and out of the way for both of us. Well we had decided not to really talk about it again in front of Steve but we where tired tonite and we started raving about the place that we just saw and the question came up again from Steve about his place. The tension was paleteabl

DATELINE: NASHVILLEWhen I sat down to listen to "Get Awkward," the new album from Nashville's Be Your Own Pet, it occurred to me that I haven't written a damn thing about this great group since May of last year. I will try to remedy that today. The new record - a sophomore effort from this pop-rock-punk bad is a fireball of energy! This one rocks!BE YOUR OWN PETOne To Watch in '08In a press release from their label, the band explains the title of the album: Get Awkward: "We called it Get Awkward for a reason," concludes bassist Nathan Vasquez. "There has been some definite awkwardness in learning what being in a band is about." Sounds simple enough - but this particular band has had a wild meteoric rise to fame the last 16 months. Awkward might be an understatement.Last year, Be Your Own P

So here's the deal. I've been going through another one of those "I'm done blogging" phases. It takes so much mental energy to come up with something smart and interesting - mental energy that I could be using on maintaining my sanity as a mother. The past two weeks of not blogging have been great. I've really enjoyed not stressing over getting up a post every night and not running into my room to check comments every ten minutes. But at the end of the day, the fact remains: I have something to say. And a woman with something to say combined with an enthusiastic audience is an impossibly enticing combination for me.So fear not, my darling stalkers, I'm back. We've missed out on a lot of great content from the past two weeks but I'll get back on the horse and continue broadcasting my

Ashley Olsen was seen sunbathing in Mexico. The photos are quite awkward--the pap definitely caught her in all her unpleasant / awkward poses but which those dirty minds would drool on anyway. She was seen last week shopping at the Costume National store wearing grunge-style clothing and a huge smile on her face. Here are the photos of her in Mexico.

The temptation with an awkwardly shaped garden is either to do as little as possible to it -- maybe a lawn surrounded with flowerbeds -- or to add too many hidden corners and details, which might work well in an enormous plot, but won't make the best of an average-sized garden. The ideal is to come up with a layout that's simple but uses design tricks to correct the shape of the garden. Better still, a clever layout can make the awkward shape an advantage, using odd corners for hidden storage or raised levels to define areas of the garden.We asked Katrina Wells of Earth Designs to come up with three solutions for three classic problems: a sloping site, an L-shaped garden and a tapering plot. Our advice is to simplify the look of the garden, where possible, by using similar shades to unify

1) While in Florida on MLK day, Willard says: "Who let the dogs out" as a form of saying cheese while surrounded by African American youth.2) He then points to a baby with a little necklace and says, "bling bling." Yup that's right folks, Mitt "F-ing" Romney just said, "bling bling."Though I know some have and may still, I am not going to go as far as to call this racist, you can be the judge of that yourself. However, I will comfortably point to it as a hilariously poor attempt on ole' Willard's part to seem "hip" with young African-American voters, and how unbelievably out-of-touch he comes across as.What reality does he live in? Does Willard really think he can drop some dated MTV lingo and be "down" with the youth? Any of the other candidates would have at least come across as a normal

by Sara Hodon. Online dating is not for the faint of heart. It’s good if you post a profile but don’t have the highest expectations in the world, because more often than not, you’ll be disappointed. But if you’re considering trying it—congratulations! You’re far braver than about 80% of the single population out there. I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m no stranger to the world of online dating. Though I haven’t met a bona fide, “Okay-I-must-be-leaving-now-because-you’re-too-weird-for-words” wacko, I’ve definitely had my share of bad experiences. The hard part is just getting through the date itself. This can be tricky, particularly if you seemed to hit it off so well when you first started talking. Sadly, my friends, a person can post as many pictures as they want, but until you experience the real thing, you can truly only take a picture at face value. So the real question remains—how do you make it past those awkward moments on a first date? Un

Sorry about that big, hot pink, ugly headline up at the top of the home page for this blog. It’s there because Barbara’s trying to win a digital camera from a rescue organization who’s looking for ideas about “how to let people know that video is coming to [that organization]”. It’ll be gone in a week or so. In the meantime…well, we all suffer for our passions

In this advanced age of satellite TV, and the 200+ channels available at my house; it seems kinda funny that the television show I look the most forward to is This Old House on the greatness that is PBS. I love to see the insides of people's homes get renovated. I have absolutely no carpentry, plumbing, landscaping, or electrical skills, but there is something about this show that makes me feel like I could do anything if Tom Silva was helping me.I've seen other home repair shows on TLC, A&E, etc..., but they are all so feminine. TOH is the most masculine home repair show on television. All the workers have beer bellies, there are no women on site, and most of them still talk to the camera's like they're annoyed by their presence.And do you think that when Bob Vila started TOH 20 years ago, that he ever thought we would one day watch the crews progress from live web cams? I think not!

I was knee-deep in Curious George Goes To The Library when my phone rang late yesterday afternoon. “Hello?” I answered, not recognizing the number from the caller ID. “Mrs. Chicken?” “Yes, this is she.” “This is That Mom From Preschool.” Yup.

To many, standing awkwardly is only employed in rare occasions such as waiting to meet someone or holding back from approaching the buffet line so that they don’t look too eager. For a rare few, standing awkwardly is an art.Maricopa County is lucky to be home of two world class gentlemen of ungraceful posture: Real Estate mogul, Michael A. Pollack and Maricopa County Treasurer and Congressional District 5 Exploratory candidate David Schweikert.Both Pollack and Schweikert are known for capturing themselves in seemingly uncomfortable poses and then placing the imagery all over town. The two posers have agreed to compete in a contest to see who can place their awkward mount in the largest number of situations and with the greatest amount of creativity.Pollack, and his “one hand in the pocket and the other gripping an item” pose is rumored to be superimposing his image on to a farm scene where he will be holding the reigns of a pony. He may also explore an image of himself placed at

Wow, this is awkward.Douche- I mean, Lief, the former significant other, is sitting right across from me. On his laptop. Not saying a word. God, can he make things any more awkward? I happened to be here at the student union when he walked in. I said hi, waved, and thought he might come over and chat a little. Instead, he sits down in the chair across from me, talks ever so slightly, and is now acting like I don't exist. Like he's not going to let my presence bring him down because he's still on a high after finally hooking up with his best friend.What a loser.Looking at him, it only makes me appreciate the fact he dumped me all the more. He's so uncomfortable-looking, not to mention it looks like he hasn't showered in a couple days, per usual. He's wearing the same old t-shirt and tight jeans as he always does. When will that boy ever learn some sort of proper fashion sense? And this is the much improved, post-Janna Lief I'm describing. He was even worse before I got to him.I w

Today was pretty much amazing. I say pretty much because there was one rather awkward moment. I was walking to Coffman to meet up with Ross when who should I run across but Lief, my exboyfriend. Instead of greeting me, the bastard laughed his ass off at me because of my hair. Following his utter amusement, he went on to tell me all about this argument he had with his new f*ck buddy- er, I mean, girlfriend's, ex. Um, why do I care? I just asked how he was doing and he started ranting at me. I made a few offhand comments that were perhaps a bit rude but I meant them in a jocular manner, and he basically was attacking me and taking his frustrations out on me. Like he always did when we were together.After a good ten to fifteen minutes of this, I saw Ross. I said goodbye to Lief, who greeted Ross (they know each other, albeit on an acquainted level only) and left.Am I ever sorry I loved him. I never saw the ugliness inside because I was blinded by my emotions. Now I see clearly, and I see

Trent Green is not hiding the fact that he really wants to wear a Miami Dolphins jersey next season. But in the meantime, he'll be left feeling 'awkward' and 'strange' about the whole thing.Green has been practically begging to join the 'Phins but Miami has not been able to come to terms with the Chiefs yet. Kansas City wants a fourth round pick while Miami only wants to give a sixth round pick and in between the two teams stands a disgruntled signal caller.The longer this goes on,'' Green told reporters in Kansas City on Tuesday, ``the more frustrated I'm going to get.'It's not only awkward for me and my family, but it's awkward for the guys in the weight room, in the locker room, on the practice field,'' Green said. 'I'm here every day. People ask, `What's going on?' Guys don't know how to react to me, how to treat me [in terms of leadership]Well yeah, Green has a point. It's obvious that he's not the man anymore in K.C. and the Chiefs have made that pretty clear

Yo, fellas (and ladies). It's Ted again, mostly the guy here, but the weekend guy over here.In continuing with our "Interleague Series," here's Part 2: the Most Awkward Pairings Possible at a sporting event. What's the impetus, or relevance, for this, you ask? Simple: Interleague baseball reminds us all of the potential for awkwardness. Every regional baseball promo shows a guy in a David Wright jersey sitting next to a dude wearing A-Rod's stripes; a Marlin doll next to a Devil Ray blow up; and the Rally Monkey holding nude photos of Alyssa Milano. There's awkwardness aplenty in this world, and here's five pairings in sports - having next to nothing to do with Interleague except for serving as a jumping off point - that resonate that idea.Jeter and A-RodHonestly, at this point, does anyone really care about these two guys' friendship anymore, except for the fact that it might represent the final stake driven in the heart of a once-proud franchise? I mean, until Jeter is leaping

By some goof (or brilliant scheme to draw viewers) on MTV's part, both Hilary Duff and Joel Madden appeared on TRL yesterday to promote their new albums.Joel has been earning our most improved style award by cleaning up his act or shall we say covering up all those tattoos, yet Hilary is outshining him with her smokin' outfit and sexy eyes.Even with Nicole nowhere in sight, hanging out in the same TV studio as your ex, with a nation of viewers knowing the whole scandalous situation, can't be entirely comfortable.We hope all awkward hallway run-ins remained civil!

It seems as though the Syracuse Orange have punched their ticket to the NCAA Tournament with a convincing win over #10 Georgetown Monday. Cuse defeated the Hoyas,72-58, to notch their 21st win of the season. Big East POTY candidate, Demetris Nichols(seen in the pic to my left, the one being held ever so closely) led the Orange once again in scoring with 22 points, he also had 4 steals and 3 rebounds.It also was only the Orange's second win in six games against ranked teams, but this one halted an 11-game winning streak by the Big East's first-place team, and that spoke volumes."Two weeks ago, we didn't deserve to be in (the NCAA tournament)," Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim said after his 747th career victory, 13th all-time in Division I and one more than Phog Allen. "I'm proud of my kids. This game was the culmination. We knew five games ago we had to win and play well. The seniors deserve a lot of credit. This was our best game."Now on to the picture above. While Paul Harris was

Some things cannot be just simply featured as plot devices, and they certainly can't be whitewashed either. In this topic, I'm going to look over at least 3 older items from the history of comics, two from circa the "Iron Age" of comics, which was during the late 80s-early 90s, and one from during 2000, that feature some examples of comic scripts that did some really clumsy things from a political perspective, mistakes that shouldn't have to be repeated today.First up, we have Larry Hama's story from The Avengers #329 from 1991, in which the EMH, at one of their various crossroads in getting a team roster set up, received an offer from the United Nations to give them a charter that would require them to - get this - take on only extraterrestrial threats to the earth, whether from space or even subterranean ones from inside.Putting aside the fact that in the course of three issues here, they do deal with some extraterrestrial beings, here named the "Tetrarchs of Entropy", I kid you
