Oscars 2011: ‘The King’s Speech’, Colin Firth, Natalie Portman Take Highest Honors and Other Winners

Hollywood’s biggest night started out great with one of the best opening sequences in recent Oscar history. Seriously, it was hilarious–first-time hosts Anne Hathaway and James Franco traveling through the ten films that were nominated for Best Picture this year trying to learn more about hosting the awards show by going into Alec Baldwin’s dream and asking him for hosting tips. Essentially, the montage focused on if the pair were cut out for the job of hosting the big night. Turns out, by most public opinions, they weren’t. Well, James Franco wasn’t. He just came off as completely high out of his mind. Maybe he was, we don’t know for sure.

As for as the winners of the night, and you know, the whole reason the Academy Awards exist, there weren’t too many surprises. Unlike the …

Oscars 2011: Your Favorite Stars on the Red Carpet

Awards shows are a lot of things, and one of those things is a fashion show. But instead of seeing models walk a catwalk, we see celebrities walking the red carpet giving interviews and dropping the names of those biggest and brightest in the fashion industry. While Hollywood’s biggest night is undoubtedly about the films that are nominated and honored, the night starts here, at the red carpet. So let’s take a look at some choice celebrities and winners of the Oscars 2011 as they appeared on the red carpet before entering the 83rd Annual Academy Awards at the Kodak Theater, including Natalie Portman, Jennifer Hudson, Helen Mirren, Mila Kunis (a definite personal favorite of the night), and others.

A Traveling Rule of Thumb: Clean Your House

This morning is a very busy one. In fact, it’s a bit of a madhouse around here, thinly veiled in a single word of truth that has become my, and I’m willing to bet many others lives–procrastination. You see, in just a few hours my partner and I will begin driving from Northeastern, Pennsylvania to Kent, Ohio. It’s a business trip, although thankfully having nothing to do with my business. I don’t think I could take that kind of pressure after three days of making sure we had the right hotel booked for the right dates, picking up last-minute, needed items for the house, particularly items that ease my mind when it comes to leaving my two cats home for two and a half days by themselves, and making sure every inch of the house …

Daily Sex Toys Gets a Makeover, But Still Home to Some of the Most Awesome Deals Around

A few months ago, in late-November, in fact, I had written about Daily Sex Toys after being introduced to the website by the owner via email. We were very fortunate to promptly sign Daily Sex Toys up as a partner and sponsor of Woman Tribune and not long after, hosted a review and giveaway of the Mini Mistress Massager with them. Since then, we have worked with them to bring you a review of the Lelo Ina, as well as a review and giveaway of the Original Lady Fleshlight, which is still going on, by the way, so feel free to enter until February 24th.

I am still just as in love with Daily Sex Toys as I was when I first wrote about them. The reason for this …

Baby Dolphin Deaths at 10 Times Normal Rate a Year After Gulf Oil Spill

Well, this just may be the saddest thing you read all day.

Scientists from the Institute for Marine Mammal Studies have reported that dead baby dolphins are washing up along the Gulf Coast of Mississippi and Alabama at 10 times the normal rate of stillborn and infant deaths.

This is the first birthing season for dolphins since the BP oil spill that occurred throughout spring and summer last year when millions of barrels of crude oil containing toxins and carcinogens were unleashed into the Gulf of Mexico.

Typically, dolphins breed in the spring and carry their young for 11 to 12 months. Throughout January and February, it is expected for one or two baby dolphins to be found in Mississippi in Alabama per month. This year, however, 17 baby dolphins have been found in the region.

Video: Serene Branson Interviewed by Julie Chen on “The Talk” About Live Report from the Grammy Awards

As seen in a video that quickly went viral, KCBS reporter Serene Branson was doing her live newscast outside the Staples Center following the Grammy Awards. In just the few seconds she was live on television, she exhibited symptoms of a severe medical condition. Many thought she was experiencing a stroke as she went to speak, but all that came out were incoherent, fumbling words.

In case you missed it, a few days ago Serene Branson appeared on CBS’ “The Talk” for a sit down interview with Julie Chen about what happened that night, her medical diagnosis, her reaction to this experience and when she hopes to return to work.

Branson speaks about that night saying that when she was sat down following what had happened on-air, her …
