Crawl out from under your rock and turn on your television for a minute. You'll notice that we're under attack...again.

After all that, you'll look,?feel and smell like a German under a heat lamp, but?at least you'll have your iPod, PSP, Nintendo DS, laptop, and portable DVD player to keep you company. OH WAIT! No you won't--you're not allowed to have any of those?things either!

The name of the collection is Ric Yung and it's a collaboration between Fab, his managers, another partner and some choice designers. "It's the hottest s**t in a minute," Fabolous told AllHipHop.com.

Calling it an "attack," Hilfiger told the World Entertainment News Network he was "just protecting myself" against the Guns N' Roses frontman at Rosario Dawson's 27th birthday.

Why spend time trying to think of something new when you can just recycle something that was already wildly popular?

Wired did their own take on the Choose Your Own Adventure series with their article here. It's a pretty fun idea...you should check it out. Really.

Wired: Choose Your Own Adventure Returns

Michele Merkin knows men. She teaches them how to be good cooks in Style Network's Foody Call, she dodges their balls in Extreme Dodgeball, and she made their Top 100 in Maxim. And that ain't all. She's talked love on VH1's Love Lounge, talked money on NBC's For Love or Money, and is even the Nintendo videogame character Joanna Dark in Perfect Dark. So c'mon, does anyone know men like this gal. Plus, she's smokin' hot, super cool, really funny, and smart than you, me and your brother put together. So I thought I'd ask her some man-centric questions to see if she was really as knowledgeable as I hoped she'd be. And guess what? She is.

The dudes in the above picture are participating in something called "The Gentleman's Fighting Club."

The first rule of Silicon Valley Fight Club is don't LET SOMEONE TAKE A PICTURE OF YOU and write an article about it on MSNBC (of all places).

I am all about trying to make you, the good citizens of Feedville,?better people today. I want to?expand your horizons, brighten your day, and bring you the news that will make you interesting at cocktail parties.

This article is fascinating--it's a list of weird stuff you probably didn't know about your own human body. It contains tips and tricks for everything from preventing heart attacks to grooming to sexual (mis)adventures.

It also contains what has just recently become my favorite written paragraph ever. . .ever:

"To get your partner in the mood, turn down the Barry White and feed her Good & Plenty. In a study by noted Chicago smell researcher Dr. Alan Hirsch, women exposed to the scent of licorice experienced a 13 percent increase in vaginal blood flow. That compares to a 14 percent reduction from the scent of barbecue smoke."

I guess that BBQ Mystique candle from Crate and Barrel was a waste of money.
