    • When Elf on a Shelf Goes Bad

      The often drives us (elves included) to the extreme.The often drives us (elves included) to the extreme.
      I always found it so difficult trying to be on my best behavior for old Saint Nick when I was little -- making my bed, cleaning my room, not throwing hissy fits. All in the hopes that there would be something worth opening up on Christmas morning. Well, as of last year the jolly old man has gotten a little wiser and sent out an elf to keep an eye on the kiddies -- The Elf on the Shelf, if you will. He's there to make sure all the boys and girls don't get all naughty before the big day.

      But what happens when the elf in question goes off the rails? Let's just say things can get a little sketchy. Which of course equals a photographic goldmine for parents everywhere. Obviously we're not the only ones that think this elf is up to no good, and other sites and blogs have picked up on his bad boys ways and even started photo contests revolving around his R-rated antics.

      I'm not necessarily saying I'm behind all these evil elf shenanigans, but when you get right down to it, sometimes

    • Want to Get Clean like Brad Pitt? 'Fight Club' Soap is Here!

      First rule of Fight Club: Lather, rinse and repeat.

      If anyone in your life is a Fight Club freak (we all know 'em), I have the perfect gift for them this holiday season: Fight Club soap! Based off of the original prop from the 1999 film, the soap is identical to the one a rather rugged Brad Pitt wields (see above).

      I'm shocked that it took 12 years for someone to come up with this, and as a side note, who else is floored that it's been over a decade since the damn movie was released? Oh, the passage of time...

      Anyway, click here to snag the soap, and please take note that it is caffeinated. What exactly are the perks of caffeinated soap? No idea. I'm not complaining though, I could probably use a little more pep when I'm getting sudsy.

    • What Rachel Zoe Wants to Give (& Get) This Holiday Season

      Rachel Zoe's holiday wishlist is bit more than we can afford.

      What do you get for the girl that has everything? Rachel Zoe's husband Rodger Berman probably struggles with this every single year. I mean, how many Birkins can one woman have? Can you really buy her another Chanel jacket?

      Okay, so no amount of Birkins is too many, and you can buy her another Chanel jacket, but we all want to change it up from time to time! Luckily, Rach shared her holiday picks with Neiman Marcus in case you needed some guidance (and if your budget is flexible...and I mean very flexible).

      My favorite item on the list is clearly something she has already picked out for little Skyler: A mini Mercedes-Benz 300SL Electric Car, retailing for $395. I'm pretty sure I had a fake Jeep Wrangler when I was younger, so I can't judge, but that was the '90s, honey. The economy wasn't in the crapper and stuff was just way better.

      Also on the list is a $2,500 Chanel book set (hint, hint Rodg), which comes in a signature tweed slipcase. This is an adorable gift,

    • 5 Signs You Need to Check into the World's First Stalking Clinic

      It was only a matter of time before your Facebook stalking caught up with you.

      Alas, it was bound to happen. The first stalking clinic ever opened at St. Ann's Hospital in Britain. We can think of numerous high-profile stalkers who should probably check in, including Thomas Brodnicki who has been terrorizing our fave gal, Selena Gomez.

      Jezebel raises a few issues with the idea of a stalker clinic, including the chance that by keeping stalkers out of prison, you're endangering their victims. But we also need to ask: What about your average love-crazed teen who crosses the line into creepyville? Do they need some stalking rehab also?

      To prevent confusion, we've put together a list of 5 signs that are a tell-tale sign you need to head over to St. Ann's ASAP. Scroll on down for our take on the "diagnosing a stalker" checklist.

      1. You find yourself perched outside of your target's home at all hours of the day, surviving off of stale cheetos and flat Coke, and you can't seem to tear yourself away.

      2. You haven't changed your clothing in a week or

    • Have a Blast This Holiday with a Chocolate Bomb

      If bombs are too intense for your holiday party, you might want to play Russian Roulette with chocolate bullets.

      If Harry Potter had known about this, he wouldn't have made such a big deal about Exploding Bon Bons and Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans. The UK's Conran Shop is the proud home of the Braquier Chocolate Bomb, perfect for adding a little spice to a holiday snoozefest.

      Great for that lull in between ham and Christmas cookies, all you have to do is light the wick and thirty seconds later you'll have yourself a chocolate-y explosion of sugared almonds, small toys and other sweet treats. While this bomb might be a steal to the folks over in Washington DC, the £89 price tag might seem excessive to those of us who aren't used to spending quite that much on a post-dinner giggle.

      The Daily Mail has a suggestion for those who wish to bypass the expense of the chocolate bomb: Bite the Bullet. This game, which only costs £7.99, includes twelve chocolate bullets, with one incognito chocolate packing some serious heat in the form of hot chili. Pass the bite-sized edible weapons around the

    • The Softer Side of Amber Rose

      Amber Rose ditches her bad ways for a lady-like interview and pictorial with StyleCaster

      Amber Rose is divisive. On the one hand, you have the larger-than-life figure and urban pin-up girl who draws just as many cat-calls as criticisms, and on the other, there exists this demure woman sitting across from me who's sweet, polite and absent of any entourage other than her adoring boyfriend (rapper Wiz Khalifa) who's waiting patiently for the opportunity to whisk her away for a snack. You think you know her because of her past relationship with Kanye West (you don't) and you have no problem judging her for her body-baring spreads and her steely determination to make a name for herself outside of who she dates (and she's fine with that). But the reality is she's more than just arm candy. She's a living, breathing dichotomy whose past was long ago pre-determined by a simple conversation between two friends.

    • Is Lady Gaga's Lil' Sis the Next Great Fashion Designer?


      Want a friend on the inside? Add us on Facebook to always stay in touch.

      We all met Lady Gaga's little sister Natali Germanotta when she had a little cameo in the epic "Telephone" video alongside her sibling and Beyoncé. Not a bad gig, right? We're willing to bet that's not the last time her sis will step in to help boost her career: Natali is a fashion student, and according to WWD, she is in the running to design costumes for a new off-Broadway show named "Simon Says." The play will make its debut this fall in New York City, and a job as a costume designer could really help to kick-start the 19-year-old's career in fashion.

      Natali has already interned for the New York-based eco-friendly designer Allison Parris, who has nothing but wonderful things to say about the littlest Gaga:

      "Natali has an edgier sense of style like her sister. Initially when she went to the Grammys a few years ago, she wore one of our little lace trapeze dresses, but she styled it up

    • Dating Dilemma: Is It Okay to Check Your Partner's Phone?


      Want a friend on the inside? Add us on Facebook to always stay in touch.

      One night after a lovely evening my date and I retired home. As we snuggled on the couch chatting his phone rang. He looked at the screen, sent the call to voicemail and placed the phone face down on the table.

      I thought about asking who was calling at 2:00 AM but I resisted. Then the phone rang again, and again. I began to laugh and asked if it was his friend who we had seen earlier in the evening. "No," he answered meekly, "that was Alexa."

      I soon learned this was the girl he had been sleeping with prior to meeting me. And although he did not have interest in sleeping with her again he had since the time we met-once. Awesome.

      Here I was naively thinking after forging such a connection, we were exclusive. Not because we had had "the conversation" but because we liked each other. Apparently men can multi-task - just in this one area though.

      After a LONG conversation we mended this small
