Supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio is one of the hottest women in the world, no doubt about it. The Brazilian beauty has strutted her stuff on runways near and far in bikinis small and tiny -- her enviable rock hard abs and sinewy legs are the stuff dreams are made of -- but a recent change to her flawless figure has gotten everyone's attention. At Colcci's runway show during Sao Paulo fashion week, Ambrosio walked the catwalk with a bun in the oven; she's 5 months pregnant.

Of course, she looked glowing and gorgeous and perfect and wonderful and did I mention glowing? But her beautiful-with-baby-body isn't just something to marvel, it's something to respect. Pregnant women on the high-fashion runway has been a long time coming.

Vogue.com has declared the snood to be the hot trend of the moment -- and no, I'm not talking about an old-fashioned hairnet --

I'm talking about the tubular scarf our friend Willow Smith is wearing! Snoods are infinitely simple, because they have no loose ends -- you just put it over your head and go. Vogue.com has spotted Ashley Olsen in a fur snood, prompting them to call it "the season's perfect piece."

Huh.

Sort of a boring fashion season, isn't it?

Anyway, I'd love to know what you think about the snood. Would you wear one, or will you stick with scarves?

Check out a few options that are in stores and online now ... after the jump!

The latest dining trend is a messy one: Eating with your hands. Well, according to The New York Times, anyway. Apparently more and more people are getting down and dirty with their food. It's traditional in non-western countries like India to eat with your hands -- and it's slowly becoming more acceptable here, too. Allow me to wipe my hands here on this napkin so I can applaud.

Some foods really are better eaten with your hands -- I mean, she who eats chicken wings with a fork is totally missing the point. And every New Yorker except Donald Trump knows it's the ONLY way to eat pizza. But I was curious about how far I could push this utensil-free dining. So, without preparing any special for-hands meals, I decided to spend 24 hours eating all my meals utensil-free.

The Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas is the biggest gadget show in the world, featuring miles and miles of some of the coolest gizmos you've ever seen. This year there were plenty of cool things for parents, and I wanted to highlight a few just for fun.

I've been putting a lot of thought into parenting for a digital world. My kids, as you can probably guess, have enough gadgets and gizmos around the house to stock a small Best Buy. And that makes me worry.

There's a running refrain when I talk with other parents about media -- games, TV, movies -- and kids. If you grew up in the 1970s and 1980s, you probably spent more time than was healthy in front of the TV and then, a few years later, in front of the Nintendo. Our parents didn't think about media consumption as we do, for a number of reasons.

We're just a couple days into the new year and there's already a new food word for 2012: "Eatie." It was coined by Rachael Ray when she was talking about Cheech Marin and Lou Diamond Phillips competing on her new show, Rachael vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook-Off: "Going in, I knew that Cheech and LDP were good cooks, but a lot of them just wanted to become better at working with food and consider themselves foodies because they are eaties, they eat a lot."

So there you go: An "eatie" is someone who eats a lot. And if you're an eatie, you may consider yourself a "foodie" -- but apparently they're not exactly the same thing. I don't know. Do we really need this word, "eatie," in our vocabulary right now? I'm thinking NO.

The Hunger Games are coming to a town near you, everybody. If you're a fan of Katniss, Peeta, Gale and the rest you might want to show your support in style. Like say, a t-shirt, a bauble or a competitive outfit designed by Cinna. (Sorry, that last one is just a fantasy.) Luckily there are tons of designers out there that aren't trapped in the make-believe world of Panem that have created fashionable options for the die-hard fan.

Here are 15 ways you can look like you've just stepped out of the pages of The Hunger Games without also looking like you're headed to the arena. Of course you'll be wearing these to the premiere on March 23rd, 2012.

Good news, fast food fans: There will be no more pink slime in your burgers. DERRR -- WHAT PINK SLIME?!? You may be asking. Oh that? Why, it's just the meat trimmings that get soaked in ammonia and processed into pink goo that has been going into burger meat for the past several years. You didn't know that's what you've been eating? Oh yeah, for some reason they never put that in the commercials: Announcing Our New Flame-Broiled, Double-Decker Pink Slime Burgers!

Well, you can relax because Taco Bell, Burger King, and McDonald's have all stopped using so-called "pink slime" in their ground beef. Thank Ronald! Yuck. I think we can all do without that gunk. Well done, fast food companies.
