What do the iPad, the band Nirvana and the Fosbury Flop have to do with your professional and personal well-being?

Ask Tamara: Baby Mama Drama!

Rina Risper06 mins

Dear Tamara:
 
My new boyfriend is perfect. We have been dating for about four months now and we get along great. The only problem is his son’s mother. I hate to put it this way, but she is ghetto! She is constantly interfering in our relationship. She calls him all hours of the night just to get under my skin and try to cause trouble between us. Should I get out of the relationship now before it gets to deep and allow her to win, or should I hang in there and straighten her out?

By Aisha Sims
 
I know one of my biggest shopping issues is finding items that I like in the store or online boutique. Sometimes I’ll be browsing through a magazine or watching television and I’ll see a cute piece that I’d like to own but I have no clue where to start looking. I found out about this really cool website where you can post a picture of an item that you covet and people can give suggestions on where to get it.

By Frank S. Washington
 
DETROIT, MI – During my week-long test drive of Lincoln’s 2011 MKX, I saw the two faces of the midsize crossover – luxury and utility.

“THE TOURIST”: The star power and the scenery are the main attractions of this romantic adventure with definite echoes of “North by Northwest.” Johnny Depp plays a bookish American who’s visiting Europe when his path crosses that of an attractive mystery woman (Angelina Jolie). She quickly draws him into a dangerous case of mistaken identity that plays out in such cities as Paris and Venice. The supporting cast includes Paul Bettany, Timothy Dalton and Rufus Sewell. DVD extras: two “making-of” documentaries; audio commentary by director Florian Henckel Von Donnersmarck; outtakes; alternate title sequences. *** (PG-13: AS, P) (Also on Blu-ray)
