Hope you and your special somebody are all warm and cuddly and lovey dovey this weekend.

Let's talk gossip.

Snookie from the Jersey Shore is naked on the internet. You really can't see all that much but still I know you'll check it out, and you should.

Remember like two years ago when Britney was crazy and her little sister was pregnant and it was such a big deal. Well look at how big that little baby girl is now. She's adorable, btw.

People were getting shot at during a Beyonce concert. DAMN.

Lady Gaga is weird, we know that. But this outfit is super awful.

What do you think of Rihanna's new video? I don't know. I'm a little confused. Doesn't one of the guys looks JUST like Chris? Yes. Now what kind of message is that supposed to give us?

Did you watch the Opening Ceremony of the Olympics last night? I managed to not fall asleep until super late and I caught the premiere of We Are the World 25. Did you? It's pretty good but there are a few singers who I don't think should have been invited but that's just my opinion and you know what those are like.....bellybuttons, right?

It's Fashion Week up in NYC and Gwen Stefani debuted the fall line for LAMB. Check it out, good looks, bad models.

And I found a bunch of stories about what celeb couples are giving each other for Vday but who really cares? Who has that kind of money? And who needs to live up to those standards? Really. So I have a few last minute gift ideas for Valentines Day and ways to get your man to go buy them for you. See, I'm at work right now. My hubby is at home, I told him I had some errands to run after work today and so I'll call him later and tell him I'm picking up some Valentines for my mom. Maybe then he'll remember to go get me something!!!

It's too late to send flowers from an online store. Most of those places don't do Sunday delivery and really if you get them on Monday it's almost like an after thought like he forgot. So here's my list for girls and for guys.

Ladies gifts:

She'll love something from the heart. A spa gift card. You can't go wrong with this and knowing how most men are this will get you out of having to give her a massage. We all know you really don't enjoy giving a massage as much as you enjoy getting a massage so instead of trying to make her muscles feel better, ensure they'll feel better thanks to the pros. A new wallet. It's not nearly as expensive as a new purse and it will help keep her organized. Not sure her style, figure out the average price of the wallets at her favorite store and get her a gift card in that amount. Think functional. Not something that she'll use once and be done with or something like flowers that die. Or candy that gets stale. Clothes aren't really a good idea either. I can say that most girls like jewelry but there's a stigma that comes with Vday that it has to be super expensive if it's jewelry for the gift. It doesn't have to be. I think it should be something that you genuinely think she'll like and that's what matters most.

Guy gifts:

He's a lot easier to shop for thank goodness. DVDs and movies are always good to give to guys since they won't think that it's a lame gift. I know if I was given a DVD for Vday I'd be a little bummed. But I know my man would think it's the best. I try to give gifts that force us to spend more time together but every so often he deserves time with this buddies. A pair of tickets to a sporting event, comedy show or a concert you'd never go to with him might be fun. And if he wants you to tag along you win, unless you really can't stand that band. Sign him up for those martial arts classes he's been dying to try.

Try to think outside the box and away from the dinner and movie date night. You can do it, just don't stress over it!!

If you have already donated money via a text campaign or sent money online, thank you. If you haven't done so already, please, they need our help. If you have a few extra dollars swing by the store today and pick up a box of band aids, vitamins and baby wipes and drop it off tomorrow at the Embassy. It's in our backyard, we have no excuse not to go do it. You probably have some of these things in your home that you can afford to spare. These people have nothing. Please help.
