honeymoon
Malaysian officials are attempting to curb the soaring divorce rate with free honeymoons.
An eastern state in Malaysia called Terengganu is fighting back at the divorce rate—one honeymoon at a time, says Reuters. The state's department of Welfare Community Development and Women Affairs is now offering couples who are in the midst of marital crisis a free three-day vacation valued at $440 (plus a little counseling).
While the Terengganu did not release its divorce rate, it did conduct a 25-couple pilot program. Judging from the announcement of the state-wide program, officials must have deemed it a success. Perhaps those husbands and wives reclaimed the love that was once lost? Or maybe they just … Read More

Salma Hayek's Elisa the Puerto Rican nurse is a great add to this season's 30 Rock. Really the only positive change that she show has had. She (Elisa) and GE strongman Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin) make a great pair. She brings the spicy, Latina, big-breasted vibe and he's the prototypical big-business, bigwig with rich, conservative hair. Together, like a McFlurry, they are two perfect complementary flavors. Last night's episode notwithstanding (no spoilers here, sonny jim) they make a heck of a pair. Alec Baldwin and Salma Hayek make such a good pair that she choose him over … Read More
