justin timberlakeAww! Justin Timberlake must really be taking his recent engagement to Jessica Biel very seriously, because he's suddenly turned over a new domestic leaf. And instead of merely helping Jessica create a wedding registry full of must-have items for the pad they'll share, he's going a step further and creating his own home decor line.

Justin is in the process of launching HomeMint, which will be BeachMint's latest line of celebrity designed products. HomeMint will be a website that people can subscribe to for $10 a month to get their share of Timberlake-approved decor for their digs.

naked obese statue arizonaSince when is a statue of a nude woman -- that happens to be obese -- considered pornographic, inappropriate, and a threat to society? I guess since a battle over that very thing broke out in the crazy state of Arizona.

A contractor named Bill Tonnesen told local television news station KNXV that the sculpture was supposed to resemble an ancient artwork known as the Venus of Willendorf. But neighbors are opposed to the statue, which they say is an affront to the church and pre-school within viewing distance.

Disney Fantasy
The lobby on board -- first room you enter
I think it's pretty safe to say that I want to live on the Disney cruise ship, the Fantasy. After just three nights on board, we were nowhere near ready to leave. It wasn't JUST all the entertainment, the amazing kids' programs, the free babysitting, the adult-free zones, the food, and the spa. I fell head-over-heels in love with the decor.

It literally was like stepping into a Disney movie. Bright, saturated colors everywhere, whimsical shapes, and cushy, cushy, cushy. Is it all just a little bit silly? Um, YEAH. A lot silly. But the whimsy won me over. It made me wonder -- why take life so seriously? Keep reading to see what I mean.
