Long before Bruce Jenner was a stretch-faced reality show prop begging for money to buy remote control helicopters and getting his colon scoped on national television, he was a bigger-than-life hero to just about every little boy in America.

Now Wheaties is honoring Bruce as well as fellow Olympian Mary Lou Retton and boxer Mohammad Ali with three retro boxes unveiled at a ceremony earlier today. Keep reading to see Bruce and Mary Lou at the event and relive your boyhood dreams with numerous images of the original Bruce Jenner Wheaties boxes!

As difficult as it was I told management that I would take the hit and do this post featuring all five official videos provided by Sports Illustrated of cover girl Kate Upton rolling in the deep in tiny bikinis and talking about stuff. Things you’ll learn about Kate; she’s a goofy dancer, she can probably make her melons clap, bad music must accompany all bikini videos and it’s really fun to watch Upton in not much at all.

This week’s After Show starts with the girls reflecting on what it’s like to look back at the last year of their life. Personally, I think I’d need a bucket and a corner man if I had to watch a video recap of my life each year. That can’t be easy man!

How can you not love Justin Bieber? When he’s not spending Valentine’s day with critically ill fans, he’s helping other girls fulfill their dreams by signing them to his record label. At least he did that with up-and-coming Canadian singer-songwriter Carly Rae Jepson. Justin made the announcement Feburary 14 that he and manager Scooter Braun were siging Carly to their label Schoolboy Records.
How did Carly get The Biebs revved up enough to give her this amazing opportunity?
Teen Mom 2 star Jenelle Evans has had a bad month. In addition to all the legal drama surrounding her falling out with former roommate Hannah Inman, she has had a terrible time of it health-wise.

Last night she was back in the hospital after she began coughing up blood, and returned home late last night only to begin coughing up blood again a few hours later. Jenelle expressed her frustration on Facebook and even posted a rather gruesome photo of what her latest coughing fits had produced.
It’s been easy for those of us watching The Bachelor at home to see the dark side of contestant Courtney Robertson, the brunette model who has essentially stripped her way to the heart (and other body parts) of Ben Flajnik this season. But what was it like for the other ladies in the house? Was it really as bad as it looks on television? Judging from ousted bachelorette Samantha Levey‘s commentary on the recent episodes, the answer is a resounding “hell yes!” Keep reading for all of her recent “Oh Snap!” moments, including my favorite: “Who knew Lane Bryant makes rompers for wh0res?” Meowww!

Valentine’s Day as we know it now is very bittersweet: Sweet if you’ve got a generous crush/love and/or lots of friends to shower you with gifts, cards, emails, tweets, flowers, and candy, until you’re swimming in red and pink colored flattery. It’s also sweet if you’re a pop star who spends Valentine’s Day with a dying fan.
But it’s also very bitter, for those who think it’s just another cynical holiday meant to sell candy and cards, and of course, if you’re not linked up to anyone romantically during this time, it just seems like everyone who is is just rubbing it in your face. That girl at work that keeps getting flowers delivered. That kid at school with ALL the candygrams. Your best friend/sister/mortal enemy and her reservations at the poshest spot in town with her fiance (who’s in finance, looks like George Clooney, and loves puppies.) Really, it’s kind of sadistic when you think about it.
So, how did this wretched/wonderful holiday come about? It turns out the history of Valentine’s day is even more brutal than finding an empty Valentine’s cubby in elementary school.
While for some, Valentine’s Day is this big ol’ bunch of happy love crap for the rest of us it’s time to be left alone with our Little Debbie boxes and Netflix. For those who find themselves pining for love on this annual reminder of loneliness rest easy because Jean-Claude Van Damme’s 70’s stache is here to save you. What power does cupid’s little bow hold over the unstoppable force that is Jean Claude’s righteous facial hair? Go ahead cherub, draw back your tiny bow because Van Stache is ready to grasp that arrow and snap it in half with the forces of all that is kick ass in the world!

Young Avalanna Routh has a very rare form of brain cancer called Atypical Teratoid Rhabdoid Tumors. In an effort to cheer her up during a particularly harsh round of chemotherapy last year friends and family threw her a “wedding” in which she received a t-shirt that read, “The Future Mrs. Bieber.” About a week ago her babysitter and her sister set up a Facebook and Twitter page in hopes of getting the attention of Bieber’s camp with the goal of getting Avalanna to meet her hero.

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.

While the split of Kris “sad boxes” Humphries and Kim Kardashian is taking a turn for the worse stars Katy Perry and Russell Brand are showing how this difficult emotional time can be handled with humility, grace and smiley faces 🙂 Perry and Brand have reached an official settlement in their divorce as is indicated by court documents we obtained.

If you’re one of the millions of people tuning in every Monday night to watch winemaker Ben Flajnik look for love on ABC’s The Bachelor, then you are probably one of the millions who want to blow a hole in their TVs with a shotgun every time model Courtney Robertson starts one of her snooty rants about all the ways she is edgier, awesomer, and less prude than the other ladies in the house. If this is the case for you, then I absolutely guarantee there is at least one video of Courtney that won’t have you loading ammunition and it comes thanks to the hard work of a fan and the magic of autotune!

Last night’s penultimate episode of Teen Mom 2 was an hour and a half roller coaster of emotions and learning the hard way via the school of hard knocks. We’ve admittedly got a soft spot for our girls and find ourselves pulling for them to break through the very real problems they face and to better themselves for the future of their children. As the curtain closed and we saw Leah overcome with the reality of her impending divorce, I was reminded of a song called “Spare Parts” and thought I’d share it. It’s a reminder that even in these moments in time where each turn seems like a bad one there’s grace, strength, conviction and love to be found.
