We've been reading a lot about Conde Nast recently. Magazines at the high-end publisher (which publishes the likes of Vogue and Vanity Fair) are shuttering (rest in peace Elegant Bride!) and titles were instructed to slash 25 percent from their budget. Hell, even Gawker.com has it's own "Which Conde Nast Title Will Close Next?" contest. It's an unchic kind of a rough patch for the mega publishing house which has all its employees (understandably) shaking in their Jimmy Choos.

But what I don’t have to talk about is what happened between Heath and me in our relationship. Read More

According to Jezebel, who is reporting on something that the Daily Mail heard Vogue was going to write about, Jennifer Aniston said, "What Angelina did was very uncool." Yeah, "daaaaaang," is what we said too. Where we come from calling someone "uncool" is pretty serious. It was tantamount to a slur regarding someone's natural hair color, virginity or that they were conceived as a result of a 2-night stand. So, we are taking these alleged allegations VERY seriously. ??What do we know about Angelina Jolie, you ask? Not much, outside of the obvious:

• Attractive
• Tattooed

Planned Parenthood estimates that more than one-third of women in the United States will undergo an abortion by age 45. In the words of a friend, "Chances are, we all know someone who's had one." Despite such astounding figures, the topic remains hushed. Personal, political or religious preference make "I had an abortion..." stories rare.

While a woman's right to choose is broadcast loud and clear as a political issue from every mainstream news outlet, a 23-year-old woman's blog recounting her experience having an abortion has been circulating the web anonymously. Other women are stepping boldly into the … Read More
