He’s SO right.
Happy birthday DS!!!

I love Coco and Ice-T. I’m such a sucker for a true love story, especially in Hollywood. With so many shitty, 72-day marriages and general disregard for commitment in the egomaniacal world of Hollywood, it’s refreshing to see a couple that has lasted almost 11 years. In Hollywood, where we can treat lengths of relationships like dog years, that’s like 37 years and 5 kids together.

Upon watching their E! True Hollywood Story (easily one of the most entertaining shows eva) I learned a lot about their relationship and even got a little choked up (read: I NEED A FULL TIME JOB). They seem so genuinely in love and true companions. Coco could so easily be written off as a bimbo with fake boobs, but every time I see her on television she seems sweet, caring and a nice person with a super bodacious body and personality. She even has a clothing line for curvy girls called “Licious” which is hilarious.
I actually really like their reality show Ice Loves Coco. Again, like my opinion of the Kardashians, Ice and Coco are focused people with careers and ambitions and a light-hearted, committed relationship. Which, in the day and age of reality shows, I’ll take some self-indulgent celebrities with good heads on their shoulders and no drug/alcohol addictions any day over Jersey Shore.
Also, Ice said this: “Diet food is for lazy people.” Amazing. Ice Loves Coco may just be my new fave reality show.
OR….
Happy Anna Howard Shaw Day!!
Happy League of Women Voters Day!!!
Happy Lawrencium Day!!!!
Happy first diesel-powered submarine Day!!!!!
Happy Asbestos Strike Day!!!!!!
Remember, our dearest February 14th doesn’t have to just be about love. It can be about remembering the Canadian Asbestos Strike, the birth of Anna Howard Shaw, or the first diesel-powered submarine.
Or, you could simply be thankful this is (or isn’t) waiting for you at home after work. (Only if he had a good cabernet sauvignon)

Or maybe you’re super in love and this is going to be your heart all night long.

Or maybe you’re fresh out of a crummy relationship, and you’d rather pull one of these.

Or maybe you’ll be sharing these with a “friend”.

Or maybe you’ll simply curl up on the couch and remember that, more than anyone, the Hoff still loves you.

No matter what your status is on Valentine’s day, just know that it’s a day to celebrate all kinds of love. Even if it’s your undying love for David Hasselhoff circa his Baywatch years, or wearing a single pair of fundies.

Do Watch: 30 Rock, Parks and Recreation, Downton Abbey, The Walking Dead, Clueless, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, The Night of the Living Dead
Do Eat: Thai, Italian, French
Do Drink: Red wine, but beware of wine lips
Do for Dessert: Chocolate or whatever is best on the menu (or in the freezer)
Do Sing and Dance: Yeah, you heard me. Have fun. It’s simply a delight!
Don’t Watch: A documentary on civil war or Sophie’s Choice
Don’t Eat: Indian, hamburgers, chicken
Don’t Drink: too much. It’s a Tuesday… and possibly a date!
Don’t for Dessert: I’m drawing a blank.
Don’t Sing and Dance: If your dance moves have gotten you dumped before, start the place on fire and GTFO. And for the love of God, if you must dance, don’t do the sprinkler or any awful straight man dance like that. Nobody thinks it’s spontaneous and carefree. Nobody.

I LOVE the Puppy Bowl. I think it’s one of the most genius things Animal Planet has ever done. Honestly. If you haven’t watched the Puppy Bowl because you’re a diehard football fan, or your just haven’t ever seen it, it will change your life. Not really, but it’s the cutest thing in the entire world.
First, the puppies are on teams and run around a small “field” with a chew toy football trying to “score points” (run around like puppies and look cute). Sometimes there’s pee, I’m sure there’s been a poo or two, but that’s just part of the fun.
Then, at halftime, the most amazing thing ever happens: The Kitty Halftime show. Kittys are placed on the field with kitty-like toys, but they all look frightened and pissed off and basically don’t do anything but hiss at things. It’s so joyous!
The animals are all provided by animal shelters that deal in pet adoptions. So not only is the Puppy Bowl amazing, but it also promotes pet adoption to (hopefully) loving families. What’s not to love!!!

Breakups are super gross, for real. But the divorce rate in Hollywood disgusts me. It’s nearly every week some other marginally talented celebrity is getting press because their relationship is crumbling due to crazy infidelity, or the fact that they didn’t really know each other in the first place.
Can you imagine MARRYING someone you had only known for a year? Let alone six months? I’ve had iffy relationships with crappy hair dryers longer than some celebrities get married and divorced.
Relationships and marriage are very, very hard work. I won’t sit here and judge people who couldn’t honestly work out their differences and decided to get a quiet divorce. But when real-life marriage and divorce seems like little more than something to fill the tabloids and get a quick paycheck, one starts to wonder what the real motives are behind these fanatical relationships in Hollywood. (COUGH COUGH Kim Kardashian!)
This story line is SO played out, Hollywood. Like, shitty Katherine Heigl romantic comedy played out. Can’t we go back to plastic surgery accusations or something? It’s a little less soul-crushing than constant divorce battles.
What do you think about marriage in Hollywood?
I’m obsessed with this bag. I’m naming it Toy Bag, because I can’t find it anywhere on the Internet. It’s a little bigger than an iPhone! It reminds me of those toy purses we had as little girls that we would put stickers and toy lipstick in. I absolutely had to buy it, if only for the sake of nostalgia. And so I can pretend to be Cher Horowitz again. Spring is going to be colorful and wonderful.
It’s made from shiny, fabulous plastic so, you know, it can wipe clean when we spill our juice boxes (cocktails).
You can find the Toy Bag at Target in blue, pink and orange for $9.99.
In what may be the most necessary purchase of your life, the Golden Girls, seasons are on sale at Target. I just got seasons 1-4 for a total of $30. They are normally $15 a season. GO THERE NOW! The deal ends the 28th, don’t miss out on some elderly hilarity from the original Sex and the City.
