Does Botox make you bitchier?

ByRuby Turpin

Does it ever seem like the people with the most botox are also the ones with the least concern for others? That they’re a little, um, bitchier than average? Well, some recent studies suggest that might not be an accident. Not only can folks with botox show less feeling in their faces, it turns out that they actually feel less emotion because they can’t show it.

How do you get a Bering Sea gold mining claim? Can anyone do it?

ByRuby Turpin

Discovery Channel’s hit new reality series Bering Sea Gold follows several dredge crews just off the coast of Nome, Alaska. After only a couple episodes it seems pretty clear that some of these folks don’t really have much experience (to put it nicely). Actually, most of the stars of the show admit to being newbies, and most of the dredges seem like crazy, thrown-together mousetraps of old car parts bolted to floats. So, you have to wonder . . . can just anyone throw a VW engine on a raft, don a wet suit, and start sucking up gold? Well, the answer is yes . . . and no.

Is the Mad Men Season 5 Poster in bad taste?

ByRuby Turpin

On March 25th Mad Men comes back to AMC with their 5th season, so naturally the network is getting its promotional engines warmed up.

Was the Discovery Channel fair to Dakota Fred Hurt of Gold Rush?

ByRuby Turpin

When Dakota Fred Hurt rolled into Porcupine Creek just as the Hoffman’s were swirling the last bit of black sand out of their first pan of Season Two gold, there was no question who was being cast as the villain in Gold Rush 2.
