Yes, Timbaland and The Hives are a very unlikely pair. But "Throw It On Me," the collaboration between the hip-hop producer and the Swedish rock band on Timbaland Presents Shock Value, is actually pretty awesome. Now here's something even awesomer and weirder: the music video for "Throw It On Me," which pays homage to the film Sin City. If you're confused about what these three things have to Read more
Hit-making producer Timbaland has a reputation for genre-blending beats and unexpected instrumentation: some Eastern tabla for Missy Elliot, spooky strings on JT's "What Goes Around," and '80s keyboard effects for Nelly Furtado. So it's fitting that Tim would push the boundaries of hip-hop on his new solo effort, Timbaland Presents Shock Value, which features collaborations ranging from Dr. Dre Read more
I love to camp. And I am, for the most part, pretty OK with whatever the wilderness throws at me. Not the case with everyone — including a few friends of mine who sometimes join me in the outdoor fun. I've learned from them that newbie campers have the most trouble with sleeping outside and abandoning their normal beauty and hygiene regimen. If you know someone like this — or if this is you!

Go the extra mile with your food budget with these tips from LearnVest. For years, many people — my husband, mom, sister and even my son — told me to stop wasting so much food. Throwing away half a piece of chicken here or a handful of grapes there never seemed like such a big deal to me. If I was full or no longer in the mood for that particular food, then I had no problem tossing Read more
If you're planning a Summertime birthday bash, consider following the lead of Beth Saxton of Beth and Co.

"Carter was dead set on this being the theme for her party," Beth says. "It Read more
It feels like just yesterday it was summertime in Mad Men world, but alas, we've already arrived at Thanksgiving. It's not exactly a celebratory episode: Betty's cranky about both her new diet and Don's new wife; Pete's still struggling to figure out his life; and Don and Ginsberg have a showdown at work. Roger, on the other hand, is still using his money to get everything he wants, which Read more
Although most of us associate freeganism with dumpster diving, freegans actually do advocate much more than sifting through garbage for food. Madeline Nelson from freegan.info shared with me the ideology behind their lifestyle. She says, "Not all freegans are dumpster divers and not all dumpster divers are freegans. Freegans' focus is much broader and much more political — how to throw a cog Read more
I didn't really expect things to get that crazy on The Vampire Diaries until next week's season finale, but wow, this week is full of intensity. There are a few big fights, a little bit of vampire torture, and though Alaric is the villain of the episode, the group is victorious in taking down another of their foes amid the chaos. Bonnie gets to use her witchy skills, but she's not the only lady Read more
I love a good app for my kids as much as the next mom, but finding a decent one can be worse than a searching for a needle in a haystack. Nobody wants to pay good money for an app that's just going to sit on their iPad while the kids go back to playing Angry Birds. That's why I am excited about six of the apps nominated for Webby awards this year. Of the multitude of apps honored with Read more
We're happy to present this story from one of our favorite sites, The Good Men Project. Clarisse Thorn sees nothing new in eroticized images of male dominance and violence, but she sees plenty that's thought-provoking. Much is being made of the highly successful S&M erotica novel 50 Shades of Grey. People are blaming feminism for making women into submissives, blaming feminism for preventing Read more
