Is it just us, or has Prince Harry become a giant thunder-stealer, lately? Between his hot pursuit of Jennifer Lawrence after we neglected to include him in our roundup of potential suitors and his "all in a day's work" discussion of his tour in Afganistan (conveniently just weeks after Kate's pregnancy announcement), Harry seems to be a bit of a one-upper. And now, as we all anxiously await the royal baby with bated breath (the likes of which we haven't seen since Blue Ivy), Harry has gone and revealed the baby-to-be's gender. Or, has he?

According to an inside source (who? who? who?), Harry's been unable to keep quiet about the upcoming birth of his nephew. The younger prince was also photographed carrying a blue teddy and has been reportedly spreading the news of a little boy to friends and family. But, we've got a sneaky feeling we're being punked: This same

3 So-Delicious

.We want so desperately to be on board with self-tanners, but we hate the whole rigmarole that comes with them. When we actually attempt to put one on, we're scared of missing a spot or looking like we got into a bar brawl with a Mystic Tan booth. Don't even get us started on the awkward drying process, where you stand around in the nude, trying desperately not to brush up against something lest you stain it burnt-Cheetoh orange. Between all the mishaps that can occur with self-tanning creams, sprays, pads, wipes, wands, brushes, and lotions, achieving a perfectly flawless faux tan feels harder to attain than tickets to Bey's Mrs. Carter World Tour.

Kelly P. Hernandez is the founder and CEO of Financechic.com an independent personal finance site for women. After 15 years of working in male-dominated Wall Street and Silicon Valley, she's made it her mission to help women take charge of their money. And, when she talks about getting a raise, you know we're going to listen.

Here's the sobering (and all-too-familiar) reality: Chances are you're performing better at your job than some men, yet you're probably making less. Don't sit back and just hope to get noticed. Study after study shows men ask for raises more often, negotiate more for compensation, and ultimately get paid more than women - all for the same job.

You could sit and sulk about this, or, you could go ask for a raise. How? It's important to be analytical and not emotional. ("Sure, I'll double your salary because you're angry and bitter," said no boss ever.) So, here's how to make that big request deliver the big money you're looking for.

.One of the often-overlooked benefits of the advent of social media is that we now have a public, archived, and searchable barometer for the way people are feeling at any given time. Sure, that might be the product of "over-sharing" or indicative of our modes of communication changing, but we can now see the mood of all Internet-using people, everywhere. And according to Hedonometer, a company that has been tracking the general feelings of people on Twitter, the saddest day the social-networking site suffered through occurred on April 15.

By using words like "sad," "tragedy," "death," and "sick" (instead of December 25, 2008, Twitter's happiest day, which had words like "love," "family," and "gift"), April 15 easily took the cake for most depressing. Not only is it Tax Day, but the entire Boston Marathon bombing was experienced

Can't afford an off-the-rack Burberry bag or a checked runway trench coat? Most people (including us) can't, but that doesn't mean that owning a piece from one of your favorite heritage designers will never be in the stars. Consignment stores, vintage shops, and discount sites are ways to make a Burberry purchase happen...but among all the authentic merchandise, you have some fakes masquerading as real deals. Where's a Veritaserum when you need one?

This is not an exaggeration: We frequently find ourselves wondering how Ginnifer Goodwin does it. The flawless skin, the perfectly tousled pixie, the matte lipstick that looks like it's naturally part of her face even though it's hot pink - girlfriend knows her way around a beauty routine. So when we say we were excited about the opportunity to read every detail of how this babe maintains her enviable level of ethereal prettiness, you should know that excited doesn't actually cover it.

We expected to hear a very involved skin regimen that included pricey creams made from unicorn tears, but GG blew our minds by admitting she is not so diligent on the skin care front - she even 'fessed up to not washing her face every night.
