Is kissing on the decline?

Jamie Beckman — Tue, 12 Mar 2013 05:00:00 -0700

The simple kiss holds a prominent place in art, literature and the minds of teens who haven't yet had their first — but have we, as adults, lost our appreciation of lip-on-lip action? We asked a couple of experts how to put the kiss back on its rightful pedestal.

Jamie Beckman — Mon, 11 Feb 2013 05:00:00 -0800

Let's hear it for classic good-looking guys, in which case Josh Duhamel is at the top of our list of immaculately groomed, alluring men. Now we'll get to see him play a sexy small-town widower in the movie Safe Haven, out on Valentine's Day.

Man Candy Mondays: Ben Affleck

Jamie Beckman — Mon, 04 Feb 2013 06:00:00 -0800

From '90s heartthrob to Golden Globe-winning director, Ben Affleck has been making us drool for a solid two decades. And now, Ben's career has made an incredible resurgence as the Golden Globe-winning director of Argo, about the rescue of six U.S. diplomats in Iran in 1979. And we're loving every minute of his day in the sun.

Intensity is this cool, blue-eyed beauty's specialty — even more reason for us to watch every episode of Breaking Bad on the edge of our seat. Jesse Pinkman is hands down our favorite criminal.

Football-inspired sex positions for halftime

Jamie Beckman — Mon, 28 Jan 2013 06:00:00 -0800

We love football just as much as the next red-blooded American woman, but what's on TV is way less interesting than what's going on right in front of us. In the spirit of the great U.S. pastime of the pigskin, here are football-inspired sex positions to occupy you when the cute guys in tight pants are off the field... and your focus shifts to the eager benchwarmer sitting next to you.

Lingerie slips that are delightfully NOT Victoria's Secret

Jamie Beckman — Thu, 07 Feb 2013 05:00:00 -0800

A beautiful slip is classic. Think Elizabeth Taylor in Butterfield 8 or Marilyn Monroe in general. But should you have to go for the same lace getup that every other woman owns? We think not.

Man Candy Mondays: Liev Schreiber

Jamie Beckman — Mon, 21 Jan 2013 05:00:00 -0800

How sexy does Liev Schreiber look, whether he's in a tux presenting at the Golden Globes or in full-on Shakespearean garb? So sexy that we've tried to will ourselves to inhabit Naomi Watts's body so that we'll get to go home with him at the end of the night. We'll just have to settle for seeing him in the raunchy, star-studded comedy Movie 43, out this week.

Jamie Beckman — Fri, 01 Feb 2013 05:00:00 -0800

We love having a good chuckle when we see a brilliant new Some E Card, but we also think there are actual love lessons to be had underneath all the fab jokes and funny illustrations. Here are our faves:

Jamie Beckman — Mon, 14 Jan 2013 09:00:00 -0800

You've already devoured the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy — so what's next? We asked prominent erotic-novel authors and publishers to give us their picks for the dirty books you just *have* to read in 2013.

Man Candy Mondays: Dean Geyer

Jamie Beckman — Mon, 07 Jan 2013 06:30:00 -0800

See, Dean Geyer is just unfair competition for any guy out there hoping to win a woman's heart. He's smoking hot, he's a singing, guitar-playing, acting talent, and he even seems like a really nice guy. Go home, other boys. Dean has handily made every woman in America swoon.

Is it love, or are you just lonely?

Jamie Beckman — Wed, 16 Jan 2013 05:00:00 -0800

Winter: It's cold out there, and if you're single, you might find yourself eager for someone to cuddle with in front of the fireplace. But is the dude you're dating really the one you should be with? Or is he just a warm body on a chilly night?

What Hollywood's hottest men want in a woman

Jamie Beckman — Fri, 04 Jan 2013 06:00:00 -0800

We don't plan on changing ourselves to fit a guy's expectations any time soon, but it sure is fun to see what hotter-than-hot male celebs want in a woman. Hint: It's not a perfect body and flawless eyeliner — which, for us regular gals, is nice to hear. Here, a few of our favorite stars talk about the woman of their dreams.

5 Funny celebs we'd set Jenny McCarthy up with

Jamie Beckman — Tue, 01 Jan 2013 07:00:00 -0800

Our January Girl Crush, Jenny McCarthy, has gone from '90s MTV Singled Out host to household name — and we dig her devil-may-care attitude and wicked sense of humor. When we heard she really wants a funny guy to date, we got a few bright ideas about the men we want to set her up with. That said, we wanted to play fair, so no married guys . So we're toeing the line and plucking five hilarious and single studs that we think Jenny would share a lifetime of chuckles with.

Man Candy Mondays: Russell Crowe

Jamie Beckman — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 06:30:00 -0800

Call us crazy, but if Russell Crowe were ever to growl at us, stare at us or utter something unintelligible under his breath in our general vicinity, we would be pretty excited. Sure, the hot-tempered rogue's fury hasn't done hotel staff any favors, but manly men who run hot and cold figure prominently into our fantasies — and Russell is right there at the top of the unshaven, gravely list. It's almost too good to be true that he also sings — and well! We can't wait to watch him croon as Javert in Les Miserables, in movie theaters Christmas Day.

What is tantric sex?

Jamie Beckman — Fri, 11 Jan 2013 06:00:00 -0800

We can guess what comes to mind when we say "tantric sex": Sting. Ever since the musician made a drunken comment to an interviewer about having tantric sex for hours with his wife, Trudie Styler, the specifics of the tantra have become a bit murky. But don't fret: To enjoy everything tantric sex has to offer, you don't have to purchase an Oriental rug, shave your head or even listen to The Police.

Man Candy Mondays: Eric Bana

Jamie Beckman — Mon, 10 Dec 2012 06:00:00 -0800

From comic book hero to English royalty to rom-com love interest, Eric Bana can — and has! — played all kinds of movie roles. But our favorite way to enjoy Eric is visually, no moving picture necessary — with that scruffy chin and adorable grin . Now we get to see Eric grace the silver screen alongside Olivia Wilde and hottie Charlie Hunnam in the thriller Deadfall, in theaters now.

Jamie Beckman — Thu, 06 Dec 2012 14:20:00 -0800

Stacy London is obviously a big advocate of style guidelines, but it's inner beauty that she's focusing on in her her new book. We caught up with Stacy backstage at Anderson Live and asked her for a few fashion tips — and some hints for how to accept yourself unconditionally.

Anderson Cooper and Stacy London school us on ugly sweaters, red lips, and sexy jeans

Jamie Beckman — Thu, 06 Dec 2012 12:45:00 -0800

When we heard style maven Stacy London was co-hosting today's episode of Anderson Live, we were even more psyched to pop into the studio and get a firsthand look at the show. We couldn't dream up a combination of TV powerhouses that we'd rather see host alongside each other. And whether they were talking fashion or telling stories from their childhood, this duo didn't disappoint.
