6 A Good Year For Elizabeth Banks
The world loves Pink and she is expecting! The musical wonder woman was Oprah and Barbara Walter's "it" girl after her awe-inspiring Grammy performance earlier in the year, but Pink was an amazing artist before all the hoopla. And a woman many mothers would consider a strong role model for their little girls. Check out five reasons why! Read more
Among all the great entertainment in 2008, a few people clearly stood out, including the beautiful and funny Elizabeth Banks. Why was this year good for Elizabeth Banks? Because she was everywhere. The woman was in six — count 'em, six! — movies that were released this year. Some were ridiculous and silly (Meet Dave with Eddie Murphy, Meet Bill with Aaron Eckhart, Role Models with Paul Read more
Anticipating Twilight might just be this weekend's big box office winner, I asked you guys to ring in with some possible box office headline puns for the news this morning. Well, briggs313's suggestion in the post was awesome, so I went ahead and used it — thanks briggs313!

Madagascar 2 just barely surpassed Wall-E which brought in $63 million its opening weekend. In the No. 2 spot came the Paul Read more

A growing epidemic, childhood obesity is an issue for many American families. Fast food chains make it easy for parents to grab meals on the go, and the low price points of sugary drinks and dollar menus make them irresistible to those on a budget. But, that won't keep the major brands from advertising to your tots or paying big time faces to promote their product. Groups like the Children's Read more
Does the world need another one of these man-child comedies? Old School, Knocked Up, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Drillbit Taylor, Step Brothers . . . it just keeps happening. There's the guy (or usually more than one guy) who's schlubby and immature and thinks behaving like an adult is akin to destroying one's soul. He "hilariously" messes up over and over again until the sensible killjoy female Read more
