6 Spoilers for 'Jersey Shore Season 3' →
So we blinked and missed it, but apparently the cast of Jersey Shore spoke to Ryan Seacrest via satellite during the Emmys! Luckily Matt Cherette over at Gawker.TV got the clip, because we are totally using it to analyze for clues about next season. (Half of which we already knew, but…)

I wanted to write a book, and the subject eventually found me.

The Daily Workout: 8.24.2010 →
Today’s abdominal workout is called Walk the Plank, and it is the toughest ab routine I’ve completed in quite a while. Mid-way through, I wanted to throw in the towel, but I stuck it through to the end.
This sounds so ridiculously hard. But I kind of want to try it.

Even though we are of marrying age and have yet to even settle down with a guy for more than three months, that all might be different if we don’t dress like a tramp during our first school dance.

When You Lose Weight, Where Does the Lost Body Fat...
milfitude:
Body fat breaks down during a series of complex metabolic processes.
When you burn more calories than you consume, your body uses fat (triglycerides) for energy. This causes your fat cells to shrink. In turn, triglycerides are broken down into two different substances — glycerol and fatty acids — which are absorbed into your liver, kidneys and muscle tissue. From there, the...

I love these kinds of stories.

If you’re a journalist (or in tech), the way you consume media is not typical. And the people you know are not typical. Out in the real world, RSS readers have not caught on. A journalist, writer or techie should not be a source in a story...
