Jenna Cole, so wealthy she can tear up houses and abandon them at will, has announced she will no longer use straws to drink from her disposable Starbucks cups - because landfills. (more…)

CecilyK, like so many mommy bloggers, has a column over at Babble.com. And like most bloggers she posts teasers and a link to her columns whenever they are posted. Apparently some of her readers are getting tired of her "bait and switch game", and decided to say so: "Cecily, I really enjoy your writing and your point of view, but I seriously hate being forced to click over to another website. If I wanted to go to that website, I would just go there...this is a game that I don’t want to play..." "so, first I have to click over...

Famous person Jordan Reid Berkow knows about being interviewed. The most important thing to remember? You can totally talk about Crap you're clueless about if you give 'em snappy soundbites! When I prep for an interview, basically what I do is establish my “talking points” (the major ideas I want to get across; they’re sometimes provided to you by the interviewer or producer in advance) and jot down a few “sound bites”. Sound bites are essentially snappy sentences or phrases that get your point across succinctly and with a bit of panache – they’re what producers are usually looking to snag...

Dooce, no one cares but it's a slow news day so far, has revealed via podcast that she maybe made too big a deal out of her mental health. She says based on her years of posts where she brings up her variable moods, people apparently got the idea that she was actually mentally fragile - but that wasn't really the case. I did hammer the nail into my own coffin…I had crafted a narrative that I was the crazy neurotic wife…when he revealed to people that I was the one who asked for the separation all these people were like I...

Jessica Schroeder Quirk, wearing that, wore...that today, silencing once and for all the pervasive pregnancy rumors.  Why she bothered to get dressed at all is a mystery, since she seems to be staying home from her grueling studio work: Friends and fam in Indiana have been e-mailing us about the roads. I am already tired. Maybe sleep in and work from home tomorrow? With GIZ?about 14 hours ago via web Speaking of staying home with Gizmo.

Cary Randolph Merovingian Wittenbach Jefferson Walter Fuller, WASP, loves answering reader questions. Especially anonymous questions that always seem to cater to whatever she feels like talking about, or allows her to peddle whatever Ralph Lauren is currently selling. The other day Cary got another "anonymous" ask message that curiously allowed her to yet again adjust her Hemingway Didion hat: Anonymous said: favorite smells & textures? Fantastic question. I love the smells of a man in the morning when he first wakes up, Colonia by Acqua di Parma, gasoline, sea air, Wrigley’s spearmint gum, juniper, an ex-boyfriend’s cashmere sweaters, and iris....

Gina, of healthy living blogger fame, is off at some (probably sponsored) reboot spa in Canada. While there, she is indulging herself by omgporkingout on "man portions" of food. And by "man portions" she means a piece of toast, three cherry tomatoes, a pinch of sprouts, two slices of avocado, a blob of nut butter, and four pieces of feta. Seems legit.

Ever wonder what happened to Ghost Bev? Well apparently after her tragic death her poltergeist got a job pushing Younique makeup. She's got a new facebook and everything! She's even created Lashes By Beverly to help her on her journey to the top of the lash slinging ladder. I assume she'd be even more successful if she weren't deceased, but it's nice to see Younique embracing such diversity in their employees.
