Battle of the Sexes-The women won again today and lead by 35. If the women win 12 more, they win for the year!

Stalkarazzi-There is a new thing where guys are hiring photographers to hide when they are going to propose to catch the excitement on film. Some women think it's very romantic and want it to remember forever. Others say it's too weird and almost like spying. What do you think? I think the guy should be commended for putting in the extra thought and effort to get the photos to put in the album. You can't recreate that moment and once you propose, it's gone. I think it's a great idea!

Jessica Weiner-She's the "Queen of Self-Esteem" and you've seen her on Oprah, the Tyra Banks Show, CNN, and so on. She has 2 books out...her most recent is titled "Like Doesn't Begin 5 Pounds From Now." She deals with self-esteem issues and even writes for the Olsen twins on their website. She is also casting for a new reality TV show for teens and you can learn more about that on her website, http://www.jessicaweiner.com/
