I'm usually supportive and even awed when fans rise up to try to save a little-watched show they love. It's especially nice when the show is dear to my own heart (Friday Night Lights) or involves a seriously overwhelming amount of peanuts (Jericho). But I must be getting "Save Our Show" fatigue, because this campaign to save The Mole is just doing nothing for me. Maybe it's because I don't have Read more

There's a lot of reality, of course, but at least one cool scripted series is also on the schedule. Here are some of the goodies: Swingtown, the CBS series about '70s swinger couples, will finally Read more

It's National Skin Cancer Awareness month, so for more tips on prevention, stay tuned. But first, discover more about this type of cancer and who has Read more
We're happy to present this story from our friends at Allure: Nonmelanoma skin cancers may be slowly decreasing, but melanoma is on the rise — and it's the most common cancer for my age group (25- to 29-year-olds). Since this is Skin Cancer Awareness Month, I asked dermatologist Jeannette Graf, an assistant clinical professor of dermatology at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City, to Read more
Beauty marks haven't always been beautiful; in fact, for a significant part of human history, they've been considered hideous, bad luck, or even a sign of poor money management. And while Madonna may have ditched her mole back in the early '90s, for many of us, these marks are permanent features. Check out the crazy ways different cultures have interpreted beauty marks, and find out whether your Read more
This week's Game of Thrones introduces us to a few new characters, while giving a bit of the spotlight to Tyrion, Theon, and Renly, and happily, there's no Joffrey again this week (though we get a good bit of Sansa).
