Woman with curly hairAll right, before we get the ball really rolling here, I've got a confession to make. I hate hair. Not yours, usually just mine. Long, short, up, down, pixie, mermaid ... I hate it all. Especially in the summer, when the heat and humidity are already making me sluggish and tired.

Which is why it's no surprise that come warmer weather, it's always on the top of my head. I tell myself I don't have the extra 5 minutes. Yet I always regret it later when I'm sipping on margaritas, wedged between my effortlessly chic girlfriends. Ya know, the ones who took the 5 extra minutes to style their hair. 

So I made a pledge to myself that this summer, things are going to change. And what do ya know?! It's not difficult to find frizz-free looks that are quick and easy to do -- without expensive gels, serums, primping, styling, and blow drying, believe it or not!

Check out these 5 effortless hairstyles perfect for hot, sticky afternoons.

lea michele tattoosHow many tattoos would you say Lea Michele has. One? Two? Five? The Glee star went on David Letterman last night in a cleavage-happy dress and disclosed to a drooling Dave that she's got way more than just five. Lea says that tattoos are kind of like her family pastime; instead of hiding eggs on Easter, they head to the tattoo shop to all get inked. A family that tats together, stays together maybe?

So. Just how many permanent little marks does Lea have in total?

Brad Pitt Commits a Major Sin With His Jesus Look

brad pitt   Ok -- somebody seriously needs to give Brad Pitt a copy of the memo stating that the whole "Jesus" look went out of style about 1,000 years ago, because he obviously missed it somehow. Because he showed up at the Cannes Film Festival looking like he should probably be wearing a toga and Birkenstocks instead of a suit.

I know, I know -- he was probably going for a more edgy, laid-back, "I'm such a cool dude and I know it" kind of vibe. But the Jesus thing? Really?! He may be considered one of the most handsome men in Hollywood, but looking all Biblical just isn't working for Mr. Pitt.

Woman Fired for Being 'Too Hot' Proves Beautiful People Should Avoid the Office (VIDEO)

There's a lot of things that can get you fired from your job. Showing up late, embezzling funds, sleeping when you should be working. But there is nothing worse than being fired from your job because you are too hot. In some cases, being too hot is good for your career. Like if you're a Victoria's Secret model. But otherwise, it's just a pain. Ask Lauren Odes, who was fired from her data entry job because, she says, her employers told her her body was "too racy" and suggested she wrap a "red bathrobe" over her clothing. But nothing could cover up her sexy and she was canned anyway.

Odes says her employers told her: "You are just too hot for this office." Tell me about it, sistah.

Scott Disick Is Fashion King in Ridiculous Technicolor Dream Coat

scott disickScott Disick is the reason I watch any of the Kardashian reality shows. He's the most hilarious ego-maniac that side of the Mississippi. Sure, he's kind of a terrible person and that whole period where he was drunk and literally shoving money down people's throats was abhorrent, but in general, when he's sober, he's the best source of comic relief there is. And it alllll starts with the fashion.

I absolutely love Scott's sense of style. Sounds sarcastic, because who loves Scott Disick’s sense of style, but he’s got a great eye, takes a lot of entertaining risks, and in general, totally werks it. Look at him! How can you not love this asshole?

I'm Celebrating National Swimsuit Confidence Week

Posted by Lindsay Ferrier

Lands EndLast year, Lands' End held its inaugural National Swimsuit Confidence Week, and convinced nearly 100 bloggers to post photos of themselves in their swimsuits.

I have to say, I LOVED the result.

Not many of us are thrilled with the way we look in a swimsuit.

Seeing so many women dare to put photos of themselves in a swimsuit online for all the world to see made me feel a lot better about my own body, in a way that seeing photos of models like the one to my left do not.

So when I was asked to participate in this year's National Swimsuit Confidence Week, I took a deep breath ... and said yes.

Pants Covered in Penises: Perfect for Most Occasions (PHOTOS)

penis pantsI've thought for a while now that there's been a decided lack of phallus on my pants. I didn't say in my pants, thankyouverymuch, I said on my pants. There just aren't a lot of fabrics out there that have penises on them, I guess, because my search for a Trouser Snake tank top, a Shlong Skirt, or, of course, a Dicky dickey has been fruitless for years. But my wait, and yours, is over. Finally there's now a pair of leggings with different colored penises all over them. Big ones, small ones, black ones, white ones, curved ones, straight ones ... they're everything you hoped for, and then some.

And at $152, they're worth every penis. Every penny! I meant to say they're worth every penny.

Jessica Alba Is Right: Moms Don’t Dress to Impress Men

jessica albaYou gotta love Jessica Alba for being the picture of confidence and style as far as being a mom goes. She hasn't let having kids kill her fashion sense, she's shed every square inch of baby weight she gained (and she worked hard for it), and she isn't afraid to try new trends that most moms would be a bit leery of.

In a new interview with Marie Claire, Jessica's comfort in her own skin really shone through, as she insisted she dresses for herself -- not for men or anyone else. I have to commend her for putting such an inspiring and empowering message out there for her fans, and I think it's safe to say there are plenty of women who dress for their own comfort and satisfaction. But in reality, the majority of women aren't trying to please themselves or the man in their life -- we're dressing to impress other women.

Jordin SparksLast night's Billboard Music Awards were nothing short of fab-u-lous. Between Jordin Sparks and John Legend's tear-jerking tribute performance to the late Whitney Houston, Adele's utter domination of the evening with 12 awards, and Taylor Swift making history as the youngest person ever to receive the Woman of the Year Award, there was no shortage of entertaining moments at the big Las Vegas shebang.

There was also no lack of fantastically dressed A-listers, either. From Katy Perry's bold purple frock to Carrie Underwood's fairy-tastic ball gown, take a look at 5 of last night's biggest fashion show-stoppers:

rihannaSo you know that whole see-through skirt trend? Rihanna took it to the next level last Thursday when she wore, well, see-through everything. The attention-grabbing singer was in Santa Monica and Instagrammed a photo of herself getting ready for dinner at a nice Italian place, Giorgio Baldi, and never one to miss an opportunity to wear as little clothing as possible, RiRi wore a bandeau bra, a transparent skirt, and nothing else except some slinky jewelry.

So, what do you think. Has this transparent trend gone too far, or what?
