Getty ImagesBlondes are notorious for having more fun but according to actress Olivia Wilde, true career satisfaction is achieved by ditching the peroxide.

During an interview on Thursday with the fashion and beauty website Into The Gloss, Wilde explains how switching up her hair hue from blonde to brunette was a professional game changer, saying:

"I spent the first couple years of my career as a very blonde blonde. And then I went brunette for a role, and suddenly all my offers changed—the types of roles people approached me with totally changed. When I was really blonde, it was always like, ‘The really pretty girl,’ or ‘The sexy hot chick.’….And then when I went brunette, the roles went to more, ‘She’s a waitress with a heart of gold, and a tough life,’ or ‘She’s a doctor.’ And I always wondered—would I have been offered those roles had I still been blonde? I don’t think so….I think the perception of brunettes being more intellectual persists...And when I went from being blonde for a long time

Battery LifeYes, we love our smartphones. Whether it's texting, checking e-mail, playing Angry Birds, or even making the occasional phone call, our smartphones have become constant companions, and our lifelines to family, friends and the outside world.

But while they may be our favorite gadgets, they can also be the source of intense frustration. And I'm not talking about dropped calls and poor reception. I am talking about battery life - or what perhaps should more accurately be described as battery death.

It doesn't seem to matter how much battery life we have when we leave home in the morning, by lunchtime that happy green bar has turned a nasty red, and we are desperately trying to squeeze in one last e-mail before we are cut off in mid-sentence. While we have a half-day's work left ahead of us, our smartphone has decided it has had enough, leaving us scrambling for a charger and a nearby power outlet.

But while more complex features and apps undoubtedly put a strain on the

I work, full time, from home to help support my family. There are a lot of challenges and biases unique to work at home parents, but the following inaccurate assumptions seem to affect moms in particular. I'm not saying men don't deal with the same, but society is what it is. Our culture comes with a set of infuriatingly outdated ideas and expectations that get applied liberally by the most surprising people. It's been over ten years since I started working from home, yet I still face these 7 mis-perceptions on a near daily basis. - By Ciaran Blumenfeld

Brogurt, Manterest, and Meggings: What's Next in Manvertising?Yogurt, Pinterest and leggings are some of the girliest things ever, right? Now they have their manquivalents in meggings, Manteresting, and a brogurt called Powerful.

Honestly, I'm pretty sure meggings are just an enormous prank being pulled on us by GQ, and on April 1 they'll be all OHMYGAH I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU FELL FOR IT. In the mean time, I don't really believe that meggings exist outside of the world of tumblr blogs, running stores, and stunt journalism.

The Problem: "My camera won't turn on."
The Fix: This common camera conundrum is easily fixable, says Chris MacAskill, co-founder and president of SmugMug, an online photo sharing and storage site. "It's likely a battery issue. Make sure it's charged and properly inserted and the battery door is closed. Many cameras design the battery and compartment to allow the battery to be inserted only in the correct way, but check the alignment anyway."
