According to a story picked up by Jezebel, a study from a professor at Washington & Lee University School of Law will soon announce that women with MBAs, MDs, and JDs are “much more likely” to get divorced than men with the same degrees or women with bachelor’s degrees only. Considering I don’t even know what the hell a JD is, I’m guessing my own relationship is safe.

The professor who conducted the study, Robin Fretwell Wilson, remarks that she believes part of the reason for the findings is that there’s still a social stigma attached to women who choose to be stay-at-home spouses. OK, I’ll grant her that, but what on Earth does that have to do with divorce? And what about men who choose to be stay-at-home spouses? It’s not that they don’t exist, and I’m guessing there’s a lot more stigma attached to being a man and staying at home than there is to a woman doing the same.

The study also begs the question of who these educated women marry. If the divorce rates of women with graduate degrees are much higher than the divorce rates of men with graduate degrees, one can only assume that women with those degrees are marrying men without them. But does that even really happen? I feel like a woman with a grad degree is less likely to marry a man who doesn’t have one. Or is that just me?

Either way, the findings are intriguing, but I don’t buy Professor Wilson’s leaping connection to social stigma for women. It takes two to divorce, so something else is going on here.

Last episode, the USO show of horrors went off beautifully and there was KJ drama.

This episode begins with the girls working out. I’d been wondering if the girls worked out while they were there, especially KJ, Daisy and Megan, because they seem to be in the best shape and you have to work to maintain that sort of thing.
After the workout, KJ calls Joe, her second husband with whom she hadn’t spoken in two weeks, and starts telling him in her vague crazy way that she really wants a divorce.

You crazy broad, I thought that you’d already filed for divorce?!? Joe’s reaction makes it clear that things were possibly heading toward reconciliation before KJ fell in love with Bret. In like three days. She loves him. Please.

Bret escaped the house while all of the above transpired. I don’t blame him. Though I wonder if he was driving through LA with top down on his car while blaring Poison. Because that would be the smoothest move and he might get some non-reality show camera whore tail.

Big John and his super slick hair deliver the “sexy six” their strip-o-gram. Did he smooth his hair when he walked away? He is the true star of this show. Read More »

Yo, what has happened to Eminem?

While it’s taking all of my strength to keep away from a joke about the guy eating too many of his chocolate namesake, I gotta say, boy has gotten chubby.

Eminem, aka Marshal Mathers, has been under the radar for a while…ever since he got divorced from his wife and then married her again and then got divorced a second time. Apparently, women aren’t the only ones who use food to get them through tough situations, because the rapper was recently released from the hospital after a bout of pneumonia brought on by heart problems—heart problems that may or may not have something to do with the fact that the guy is now reportedly around 200 pounds.

It’s Britney, y’all!

Like her new sound, the first words off of Britney Spears’s fresh single are a little hardcore. Following Timberlake and Furtado, Spears is leaving her candy pop behind and getting down and dirty with hard beats and a sexually tinged chorus.

Then again, when was our girl ever NOT tinged with sexuality?

The single, released late on Thursday night, isn’t the best thing I’ve ever heard, but it certainly doesn’t suck, and seems twice as amazing considering that as of late, Ms. Spears has appeared absolutely bat sh*t crazy. Read More »

Guys, if any of you are reading this, you may want to stop right now.

Seriously. Honestly. Look away.

No? Alright…

A Russian woman set her ex-husband’s penis on fire last Wednesday while he sat naked in front of the TV, enjoying a nice glass of vodka.

“I was burning like a torch” the injured man is quoted as saying (undoubtedly through a waterfall of tears), “I don’t know what I did to deserve this.”

No word on how she did it, but the ex-husband’s prognosis does not look good. When asked about his chance of a full recovery, a police spokeswoman admitted it was “difficult to predict”.

I’m not quite sure how one recovers from a burnt penis.

Reuters is reporting that the attack happened after the divorced couple spent three years living in the same apartment, a common occurrence in Russia where “property costs are very high”.

Perhaps Mr. Naked had sat spread-eagled in front of the TV one too many times. Perhaps he had a nasty habit of finishing off the house vodka. Or perhaps he was a horrible person. Read More »

Was it just me or was life getting a bit boring sans Lilo?

Thank God she has busted out of her “intense medical detox facility in LA” according to TMZ and into Cirque (of Mary-Kate Olsen fame) in Utah.

Lindsay has been spotted white water rafting, going for a jog, even hitting the town for spray tans and a workout at Gold’s gym! Man, those Mormons sure know how to let LiLo loose!

But, if you think her stint in rehab seems like a walk in the park, think again.

Lindsay reportedly has two roommates (OMG worse than college!) and has to wash dishes, clean toilets and do her own laundry!

It’s like… REAL LIFE!

Maybe it’s a good thing, since Michael and Dina have officially divorced since Lindsay’s been hiding away in the wilderness. A dose of reality to kick your drug habit is all well and good, but it doesn’t matter if you’re 9 or 19 (or 21…), hearing that your parents are splitting up, well, sucks.

We all know the turmoil a divorce can cause on the children. Read More »

I’m not quite sure why, but I really, really can’t stand Jennifer Aniston.

It might be the media. Ever since her break-up with Brad Pitt (which seemed to be more his doing than hers…at least action wise), she hasn’t exactly been the golden darling of the paparazzi she was during her Friends years. If she isn’t covering her face or frowning, she’s giving interviews telling everyone that she’s “perfectly fine” and “completely happy”. Combine those lackluster quotes with movies that have, for the most part, died a quiet death at the box office, and you’ve got a movie star who’s more than just grumpy and boring—you’ve got a movie star who’s losing her appeal.

Aniston’s partnership with SmartWater isn’t winning her any fans either. As CC’s own Solmaaz pointed out, all those cheesy pictures of Jen gripping a bottle of the stuff do nothing but remind us how gluttonous Hollywood celebs are. It’s not enough that the girl probably has over 30 million in the bank, she has to go and become an advertising whore to a giant corporation. Read More »

You’ve heard it, right? Alec Baldwin’s criz-azy message to his 11-year-old daughter? You know, the message where he swears at her and calls her a pig?

According to this website, the illustrious phone message may have been leaked to the press by Baldwin’s ex, Kim Basinger. Apparently, the two movie stars—who seem to be fighting for more years than they were married—hate each other so badly that they’ve decided to use their young daughter as weapon. According to reports, Baldwin claims that Basinger is trying to turn his daughter against him, while Basinger claims that Baldwin has “anger issues” and was an abusive father. Awesome. So cool that these two adults are turning their only child into collateral during their messy divorce. I’m sure she’s going to grow up to be perfectly normal with no developmental or emotional problems. Totally.

Kim Basinger and Alec Baldwin, you two are doing an amazing job as parents! You’re completely normal and mature, and I salute your unselfish behavior during this tumultuous time in your life! Hopefully, more and more couples in the process of separation will look to you two for advice because man, you’ve got it all figured out!
