growing up
His engagement to Kyla Weber may be forcing the Swingers star to become a grown-up.
"Our little boy's all grows up cause you grows up and you grows up and you grows up." It looks like old Vince Vaughn is channeling his alter ego Double Down (from Swingers, der) and getting all grows up. In addition to being engaged to Kyla Weber (a Canadian realtor, we're obligated to mention her nationality and occupation), Double V is talking about kids. The 39-year old actor told People, "It's the first time that I really want to have kids." Read: Vince Vaughn Appears To Be Engaged

Some things grown-ups shouldn't do, but what's the point of living without all childish things?
A friend once told me "Growing up's hard, Timmy." Of course it wasn't a friend (they would have known my name, I'd suspect), it was MTV's The State. And that has sort of become a catchphrase for me when hard, adult issues and themes are foisted upon me (especially in those damned if you do, damned if you don't scenarios).
And, for some reason, being an adult has gotten a really bad rap. In addition to mortgages, drinking coffee and ED, things just seem like they get a bit boring. For instance, did you know there is a thing called "Read More
The singer/actress states she never said she was a virgin.
Well, this should settle it for those of you who are arguing that Hilary Duff claims she is a virgin. According to Us Magazine, the pop star claims that even though Elle claimed the star said she was a virgin in 2006, Duff tells Maxim in their January issue, “You know what? I was quoted saying I was a virgin, but I absolutely did not say that. That's nobody's business but my own. Somehow it turned into a bad thing!”
The star, who has been dating hockey star Mike Comrie, says she is a … Read More
Quarterlife questions from the mind of a mid-20s male.
After life questions about location, current career path and how to manage the post-college shock are answered, Britney Spears' 2001 "not a girl, not yet a woman" lyrics can still ring eerily true in the late phases of a quarterlife crisis.
One of the unknowns swirling through the heads of those in their mid-20s who—if circumstances allow—face the question of their existence is: will my hemming and hawing disappear when I meet someone? Which begs the next question: does this make me misguided or, worse, pathetic? In looking to define oneself as a firmly affixed adult, far away from the … Read More
What happens when growing up means growing out of your marriage?
One winter night in the Colgate University dining hall, sophomore Katie Thompson fell in love—fast and hard—between the salad bar and the soft-serve ice cream machine. One cute guy stood out in the crowd. She caught his eye, he asked her for a date and the rest, as they say, is history. They dated through college and their twenties as they launched their careers. They got married at 26, had two kids and lived happily ever after—almost. By the time she turned 36, Katie hardly remembered the girl she was when they'd met, and she realized she had not only … Read More
Coming into the age of change.
After ending a relationship with an under-25-er last year, I vowed to not date a man younger than 28. While this seemed like an arbitrary age to target, I was surprised to find out that I'm not the only one to place a certain weight on this number. Specifically for males, leaving 27 behind seems to serves as a benchmark birthday of something—be it maturity, adulthood, decision, you name it.
My friend Diana, for example, married her now-30-year-old husband two years ago, at an age when he had replaced touring the country in a Volkswagen van and rocking dreadlocks with running … Read More
