Apparently putting on a pair of jeans that cuts off your circulation is great for you!  Mentally, that is.  If it requires a team to remove them, we’re a little worried what they’re doing to you physically.

A new survey found women who wear tight jeans instead of baggier jeans are 12% more confident, and 9% happier.  Of course, it’s probably not the jeans making them happy . . . it’s because they’re skinny enough to wear them.   But you get it.

The survey also weirdly found that women who wear tight jeans are more likely to take the aisle seat on a plane, and less likely to recycle.

America’s fried food innovators have spent the past several decades trying to figure out how to make snacks even MORE unhealthy through deep frying. And from Twinkies to Oreos to Snickers bars, they’ve succeeded.

So what do you do when you run out of junk food to deep fry?

Apparently . . . this.

46-year-old “Chicken” Charlie Boghosian is a fried food legend, and every year he debuts new creations at the San Diego County Fair. This year, he’s come up with a deep-fried SLIM-FAST bar.

The Slim-Fast chewy chocolate bar is a snack for people who are dieting and clocks in around 200 calories. Charlie coats it in batter, deep fries it, and coats it in powdered sugar and chocolate . . . which adds about 500 calories.

He says he got the idea because he has been dieting on and off and would eat the Slim-Fast bars to replace meals. When he was brainstorming what new thing to fry this year, he picked it because, quote, “it was a total oxymoron.”

For what it’s worth, he says it’s delicious. Quote, “I honestly think this is better than my deep-fried Oreo, which is the thing I’m most famous for.”

They’ll be available at the San Diego County Fair, which runs through July 4th weekend.

Here’s the story from the Huffington Post.

here’s a female rugby player named Georgia Page who people online have annoyingly nicknamed the “Rugby Hottie.” She’s an attractive blond from Australia who plays women’s rugby for Lindenwood University in Missouri.

And on Thursday, she broke her nose in the first tackle of the game against Notre Dame. But she kept playing with blood streaming down her face, and even made a couple more tackles. Then she spat out a ton of blood while she left the field.

Next time you’re home alone on a Saturday night lamenting the fact that you’re single and lonely, maybe this will cheer you up?

A new survey found people in relationships spend an average of $3,600 more per year EACH than single people.

The main things couples spend money on that single people don’t are meals at nicer restaurants and more vacations.

And surprisingly, people in relationships are MORE likely to spend money on looking good. Single people are actually less likely to have gym memberships or to buy expensive clothes.

Here are four weird theories about how you fall for someone . . . that are actually backed by science. Read More »

I’m not sure how valid this survey is. After all, when you’re asking people to be honest about how much they lie, aren’t you just asking for trouble? But here it is . . .

A new survey found 80% of women say they tell at least one lie every single day . . . versus only 40% of men.

Of course, that could mean men were more likely to lie in this survey, which means women are more honest by ADMITTING they lie. We’re through the looking glass here, people.

The top five reasons people lie are: To avoid hurting someone’s feelings . . . to avoid getting in trouble . . . because “life is complicated” . . . to prove a point . . . and to save face.

And the five most common things people lie about are: Liking their friend’s cooking . . . their job . . . their salary . . . their weight . . . and their hobbies.

Getting dumped always feels a little like getting stabbed . . . so why do some people insist on also making it feel like you’re being hanged, drowned, and ripped apart by rabid wolves?

“Huffington Post” asked people to share the worst way someone had broken up with them. Here are the five best stories they got . . .

1. “I was dumped on the dance floor at my friend’s wedding.”

2. “It happened on the same day I put my family’s 14-year-old dog to sleep.”

3. “I was dumped on the plane ride home from our trip to Orlando because they ‘couldn’t bring themselves to dump me on Disney property.'”

4. “He did it on April 1st . . . so I wasn’t sure if it was an April Fools’ joke until the next day when he still stuck by it.”

5. “He arranged with his superintendent to stage a fire at his building to get me out . . . and then immediately started blocking my calls and texts once I was gone.”

It takes some cajones to stake your family’s financial future on a corny joke . . . but we’re talking about it, so I guess it’s working. Read More »

Carrie Underwood slipped into her stretchy workout clothes and did her first post-baby photo shoot on Monday. The pics are for the fall line of her women’s fitness wear, “Calia by Carrie Underwood.”

It’s been a little over three months since her son Isaiah was born, but she still finds the time to firm things up.

She says, quote, “Having a baby definitely changes your routine, and I have to work around his schedule. Whenever he goes to sleep, I do the things I need to do for myself and make workouts happen when they can.” People.com has a photo.

Carrie’s also getting back to work. She’ll be performing at the Grand Ole Opry next Tuesday, and the next night, on Wednesday, at the CMT Music Awards. She’s also doing a show on June 13th at the CMA MusicFest.

Although it’s been a while since she’s faced a live audience, she’s ready, quote, “I’m excited to get back onstage.”
