LYNDSY GOES TO JAIL FLASH GAME!!!
As the website says, “Lindsay shouldn’t be the only one to have all the fun in the slammer. Help everyone’s favorite vodka breather find cigarettes in prison while avoiding the other prisoners so she doesn’t get shanked.” The object of the game is to collect as many packs of cigarettes as you can. You are the colorful Lilo head (which you take control of by placing your cursor over the top of it) and move around the screen collecting as many packs of cigs as you can while avoiding the prisoner heads that are trying to get you. Good luck!!
EMAIL OF THE DAY
I HAVE THE HOTS FOR MY GIRLFRIEND’S FRIENDS
Guy is attracted to a lot his girlfriend’s friends. No biggie, except for the fact that he’s an honest guys and he told her. How she’s turned into a crazy/jealous girlfriend and he doesn’t know what to do…
Fonseca,
“I’ve been with my girlfriend for a year. I love her, for so many reasons, and she’s very attractive (intellectually and physically). For the first six months of dating, I couldn’t think of anybody but her, and if I did start to think of anyone else, I just shut that part of me down. As soon as the six-month mark hit, though, I found myself attracted to other girls.
It wasn’t just physical attraction - I’m a guy, I imagine every attractive woman I see bouncing on the end of my d**k - but the kind of attraction that, were I not with my girlfriend, would make me try to pick these girls up. And I don’t know if it bothered me because I didn’t want to be attracted to anybody but her, or if I was bothered by the fact that I wanted to flirt with these other girls - almost all of whom are part of my girlfriend’s social circle.
Well, I told my girlfriend and at first she reassured me that it was normal for people to be attracted to others, even if they’re in relationships (though she’s never told me about anyone she was attracted to; what’s up with that?). But now, a year into our relationship, she’s turned a bit into that “crazy/jealous girlfriend” stereotype. At social gatherings, I can’t help but want to be around these other girls, and my girlfriend glares at me occasionally, or joins in our conversations (not rudely, but she is there). I’m open and honest with her, and tell her who I like and why. And now she just cries. What am I supposed to do? Lie?”

CRAZY THINGS CHICKS DO ON FACEBOOK!!
The Facebook phenomenon has allowed you to reconnect with your best friend from elementary school, keep up with your buddy’s travels and get out of hours-long phone conversations with your aunt. It truly is a remarkable tool. However, as with most things, there is a dark side to Facebook. While the male brain may not have tapped in to the full manipulation potential of this social networking tool, chances are many women have. Women are known for creating, maintaining and soemtimescontrolling relationships, and Facebook is just one more resource they can use to keep tabs on and influence people. Listen up guys and pay attention to this list of crazy things women do on Facebook.
- Women set up fake profiles to follow exes on Facebook – It’s certainly not unheard-of for a woman to set up a fake Facebook persona in order to creep on her ex’s profile. Whether you broke up badly or it was mostly mutual, if you don’t keep in touch, she probably wants to know what you’re up to. Instead of calling or e-mailing you, it’s easier and less embarrassing to scope out your profile while you are blissfully unaware that she is checking up on you. If you want to prevent this from happening, don’t add any strangers to your friends list.
- Women manipulate through Facebook photos - The photos a woman posts on her profile can be innocent, or they can be totally manipulative. Another crazy thing women do on Facebook is to put up embarrassing or compromising photos of people that have gotten on her bad side. When a guy breaks up with a girl and the next day photos of him in one of her dresses hit her profile. A woman might also use her Facebook photo albums to present an image of herself that doesn’t exactly match up to reality. In her photos she might appear more sexy, more adventurous and altogether more exciting than she is in real life.
- Women post passive-aggressive Facebook status updates - Whether it’s because she hates confrontation or she just wants the world to know what a jerk her boyfriend is, some women use their status updates to air complaints about their relationship instead of sitting down and talking it out directly. For example: “Valerie visited the jewelery store and is tired of waiting!!!!” could be a not-so-subtle clue that she doesn’t want to wait for that engagement ring much longer.
- Women post ambiguous relationship photos - It’s not uncommon to see pictures of women with their arms around their friends, kissing them on the cheek, whether their friends are men or women. For some, these may be harmless expressions of affection for their good friends, but for others they could be an attempt to elicit an envious response from their partners. These ambiguous photos with other guys could also cause other people to question the strength of her relationship with her boyfriend.
- Posting a fake relationship status - Some unattached women choose “in a relationship” for their profile just so people won’t start matchmaking or single-girl-pitying. A single woman of a certain age is a prime target for people who think everyone should be paired off in “happily ever after” relationships. Some single women even arrange with one of their close girlfriends to be each other’s “in a relationship with” person to avoid this kind of condescending sympathy. They’d rather raise questions about their sexual orientation than leave the space blank.
10 SONGS THAT ARE “SECRETLY” ABOUT OTHER CELEBRITIES
Earlier this week, Amy Winehouse was seen clinging to Nas at a party in London, allegedly trying to avoid the onslaught of paparazzi by rushing to her car. But that pretty much backfired because they came off looking like much more than friends. And it turns out that her song “Me and Mr. Jones” is supposedly about Nas! The song is vaguely about her liking him but him avoiding her; the song also calls him “Mr. Destiny,” which allegedly refers to his daughter Destiny. It also mentions the numbers 9 and 14, pointing to the fact that they were both born on 9/14! The juicy personal story totally makes the song even better! Here are 9 more (plus Amy’s again for quick reference) songs that were supposedly “secretly” about other celebs:
- Amy Winehouse: “Me and Mr. Jones” is supposedly about her unrequited love for rapper Nas; it refers to his daughter Destiny and his birthday, Sept. 14.
- Madonna: “Miles Away” was inspired by now-ex-husband Guy Ritchie. She also once dedicated it to the “emotionally retarded.”
- Alanis Morissette: You probably know that “You Oughta Know” is about Dave Coulier, aka Full House’s Uncle Joey. What you may not know is that he finally admitted it was about him and subsequently made amends with Alanis.
- Trent Reznor: “Starf**kers Inc.” was supposedly about Tori Amos, with whom Reznor was rumored to have been in a relationship. Amos, in turn, wrote “She’s Your Cocaine” about Reznor’s relationship with Courtney Love.
- Eric Clapton: Model and photographer Pattie Boyd was married to The Beatles’ George Harrison when Eric Clapton fell in love with her and wrote “Layla” for her, inspired by a Persian poem called “Layla and Majnun.” The love triangle eventually brought Pattie and Eric together and they got married in 1979—but then they divorced about a decade later after Clapton cheated.
- Rosanna Arquette: The catress allegedly has two songs written about her: “Rosanna” by Toto and “In Your Eyes” by Peter Gabriel.
- Carly Simon: “You’re So Vein.” This is a biggie. Everyone wants to know who (which beau) this song is really about. So many theories… Rumors ranged from Mick Jagger to Warren Beatty to James Taylor to David Geffen. Warren Beatty even thanked Carly for the song, assuming it was about him … which is kind of the point. Carly said of the mystery, “That’s the greatest ego trip anybody could have … That they would be THAT interested in what you were thinking about when you wrote a song. And for that very reason, of course, I can never give it away.” DAMN!
- Roberta Flack: “Killing Me Softly” was written by a Los Angeles folk singer named Lori Lieberman after she watched Don McLean (”…bye bye Miss American Pie…”) sing “Empty Chairs.” Lieberman saw him playing and turned a poem about the experience into a song, which Flack re-worked with Quincy Jones and turned into a number one song in 1973 (the Fugees re-did it years later). But it’s pretty cool that it was originally about Don McLean, even though Flack didn’t write it.
- Justin Timberlake: “Cry Me a River” is not about his breakup with Britney Spears after she allegedly cheated on him with choreographer Wade Robson. But apparently, many of the music video’s parallels were the director Francis Lawrence’s idea. Lawrence admitted, “He told me what the song was about, but in a [general way] as well. He just said it was a kiss-off song, and so I came up with this idea and he went for it … Of course, I put these details in that he enjoyed.”
- Ani DiFranco: “Napoleon” sympathizes sarcastically with a friend who signed with a major label and thought everything was going to be grand. A Spin magazine story said that the song is about DiFranco’s former close friend Suzanne Vega. Ani claimed that wasn’t true.
MOVIE TRAILERS MARKETED TO GUYS SO THEY’LL GO SEE CHICK FLICKS
Making a chick-flick can attract a large audience. Well, the “right” chick-flick that is. But why not try to make them “boyfriend worthy”? Believe it or not, Hollywood studios are doing just that by modifying titles, trailers, and marketing in general so they don’t alienate men. Case in point: The Twilight Saga: Eclipse trailer is intentionally manly, and doesn’t focus on love triangles. Male audiences for the vampire drama are approaching 35%.
Not everyone thinks this is positive, of course. One communications professor who has written a book on the “Twilight” phenomenon thinks that Hollywood may be missing a long-term opportunity to “develop the terms for future female franchises.”
