Which Do You Find More Helpful: GPS or Web Directions?

I spent some time exploring unfamiliar territory over the weekend and charted out my adventures and directions with Google Maps in advance.

I spent some time exploring unfamiliar territory over the weekend and charted out my adventures and directions with Google Maps in advance. Blame it on the Henny the night before, or my inability to chat with my copilot and drive, but I got lost. As we sat at the side of a sketchy road, frustrated and ready for a Garden Burger, I thanked my lucky stars for my iPhone. We were able to triangulate our position with the iPhone's GPS, update our directions, and get back on track, following the moving blue dot on the map until we reached our destination.

More than 75 percent of geeksugar readers claim to use GPS regularly, but about 58 percent admit it has led you astray at one point or another. I recognize using a GPS can be distracting, but I am always glad to have it when my primary plan (Google Map directions and instinct) fail me. Which travel tool do you think is more helpful?

Actress and Gossip Girl narrator Kristen Bell escaped the uptight updos of the Upper East Side and was spotted on the MTV red carpet showing off a sweet, low maintenance look. Kristen sported soft beachy waves, peachy cheeks, and thin black liner. Is Kristen's soft look something to gossip about, or does it make you want to forget all about Sarah Marshall?

MTV Movie Awards: Sienna Miller

Her years showing off couture for the cameras seem to have taught Sienna Miller a thing or two about letting your fashion outshine your makeup.

Her years showing off couture for the cameras seem to have taught Sienna Miller a thing or two about letting your fashion outshine your makeup. A smiley and freckle-faced Sienna allowed her sea green sequin dress to make the statement on tonight's red carpet by opting for flowing surfer-girl waves, subtle eyes, and light lips.

Do you like her understated look, or do you wish she upped the glam to match her sparkly mini?

Stephanie Pratt picked flirting and lunch dates over work on this season of The Hills, so her fun-loving red carpet look is no surprise. Steph spruced up her signature platinum locks with subtle red highlights and accentuated her bright eyes with playful navy liner and smokey purple shadow. The breezy look is topped off with shiny pink gloss and a dewy face.

Do you like her carefree California girl vibe, or does she look like she stopped off at Malibu Barbie's house on her way to the red carpet?

MTV Movie Awards: Paris Hilton

Paris Hilton recently created a saucy scene at Cannes with her fella, but she offered a classic take on 1940's star Veronica Lake's golden curls on the MTV red carpet.

Paris Hilton recently created a saucy scene at Cannes with her fella, but she offered a classic take on 1940's star Veronica Lake's golden curls on the MTV red carpet. She played up her eyes with black liner and light gold shadow, and a hint of purple liner under her eyes. Her post-French Riviera glow stands out with the help of sparkly bronzer and nude lips.

What do you think of her longer, soft curls and sunned look?

MTV Movie Awards: Taraji P. Henson

Taraji P. Henson had a few mullet moments earlier this month, but The Curious Case of Benjamin Button star chopped the "party in the back" and brought rocker edge to the red carpet tonight.

Taraji P. Henson had a few mullet moments earlier this month, but The Curious Case of Benjamin Button star chopped the "party in the back" and brought rocker edge to the red carpet tonight.

Her natural lip hue draws our attention to her shiny and tousled 'do, long lashes, and sweeping liner. It's all a little bit Tina Turner circa 1986 and oh-so-glam. What do you think?

Website of the Day: MyLifeIsAverage

Tears For Fears was right about one thing: everybody wants to rule the world.

Tears For Fears was right about one thing: everybody wants to rule the world. I am sorry to report that as awesome as we each think we are, that just ain't gonna happen because we're all pretty, well average. So, next time you are feeling a little mundane, crushed and low (it happens to the best of us!), visit My Life Is Average, a site that celebrates normal, mediocre stories.

Readers submit and vote on how "average" or "meh" the stories are. Tales range from "Today I was using my electric shaver to shave, half way through it ran out of batteries. I plugged it into the charger and finished. MLIA." to "Today I flipped an egg too hard and it slipped off the pan. I had another dozen so I made a new one. MLIA." Chin up. We're all in this together.

Cute Alert! Harry and Sallie Sue Say I Do

There's a scene in When Harry Met Sally where Harry says, "You know how a year to a person is like seven years to a dog?"

There's a scene in When Harry Met Sally where Harry says, "You know how a year to a person is like seven years to a dog?" and Sally gasps and quips back, "Is one of us supposed to be a dog in this scenario?" And goofy banter ensues. Luckily for Harry and Sallie Sue, the bride and groom in this video, being a dog is a-OK. The four-legged couple, who met on the streets of New York City, is just one of the canine duos featured on WeTV's Puppy Weddings web series. I find the episodes hilarious, but more than 80 percent of you think pet weddings are freaky so you may not agree. What's your take on these friends-turned-lovers?
