"I just fell in love. And then I fell in love again. And then I fell in love again. . ." explains real-life-Bill-Henrickson Kody Brown. He's the star of the upcoming TLC reality show Sister Wives, which will follow Kody, his thirteen children, three wives, and new fiancée. In the trailer, one sister wife shares this experience: "Some people think, 'how do you feel when he's off with another woman and they're having sex.' Well gosh darn it, they better." For more cringe-inducing lines and a sneak peek at what it's really like to share your husband, watch the trailer above. The show airs Sept. 26 — will you be watching?
Need a reason to go on the next family vacation? Reason numero uno: you could meet Ashton Kutcher . . . well, that's what happened to Katherine Heigl at least. Let Killers be your "how-to" to land a gorgeous guy (albeit a spy) while vacationing with Ma and Pa. Killers follows Jen (Heigl) and Spencer (Kutcher) on their whirlwind, action-packed romance: from meeting abroad, to marriage, to her finding out about his pesky little second life, hilarity ensues.
That's right, Killers Blu-ray and DVD is available now — giving you plenty of time to brush up on your French, come-hither stare, and practice patience with your parents before the big trip.

California gurl Katy Perry wants to become a Brit when she marries Russell Brand. She says:
"One of the first things I'll do is apply for dual citizenship. I'm not too sure if I have to take a test as I've not had time to look into it. But England is like my second home."
Many international couples flirt with the idea of getting married just so one partner can stay in a country or gain residency. But dual citizenship isn't necessarily required. If you and your spouse have different nationalities, you often have the right to live in each other's countries, even if you don't apply for citizenship. Regardless, Katy Perry wants to fully embrace her husband-to-be's home. Would you?
Just the fact anyone ever coined the phrase "career girls" proves they were a real anomaly.
Peggy Olson is the resident career girl on Mad Men. She differs from the secretaries in the obvious way: she holds what's considered a man's job. Even Joan, who is unequivocally competent and clearly likes her work, is really just a queen-bee secretary. The only comparable woman is Dr. Faye, the market researcher in her late 30s who pretends to be married but is not. So how strange was it to meet a Peggy in the mid '60s?
It depends who stopped her in the ladies' room. In Sunday's episode Megan, the slightly younger secretary, tells Peggy she's doing "quite well" for 26, suggesting, with a boyfriend and career, she has it all. Then seconds later, the near-in-age Trudy Campbell consoles her with "26 is still quite young," insinuating she's not a lost marriage cause. Yet.
When she confesses to Don, "I know what I'm supposed to want, but it just never feels right, or as important as anything in that office," we see that she's not sure if she's an object of pity or praise yet. But she's betting on praise.
Each September, women nine months pregnant must hope their babies find a way to come before or after the 11th of the month. In fact, doctors report women schedule C-sections to avoid the date. Still, it happens, and these new babies join the people who already share the anniversary of their birth with the anniversary of a national tragedy.
For a piece that ran this past weekend, the New York Times interviewed people born on 9/11. One woman says she attends a memorial service each year before she feels entitled to celebrate. And many say they forego celebrations all together, feeling that it's inappropriate to go all out when people around the country are mourning the loss of family and friends. Others don't take it personally. Another woman explained: "When I look back on 9/11, it’s an event that happened on one day in the monumental number of birthdays I hope to have in my life. That day does not represent me, it represents a horrible event."
I bet most of us know someone born on Sept. 11. It's an unfortunate coincidence, but I think I would feel comfortable celebrating my birthday. What about you?
