Luckily her family has never done anything embarrassing! More
Cameron Diaz got candid with the Sunday Times recently, making the controversial case for why “every woman does want to be objectified” – while also making feminists worldwide stare blankly like movie critics did at Bad Teacher. More
Of all the people and all the networks I can think of that would be great to produce a show about the women’s liberation movement, Mila Kunis and The CW don’t really come to mind. But apparently I am not using my imagination enough. Kunis will in fact executive produce Meridian Hills, a drama set in 1972 that explores the women’s liberation movement, for the CW.

Today is Amelia Earhart‘s day. It would be her 115th birthday. She’s been honored with her own Google doodle. And today, we learned that the $2.2 million expedition to find the wreckage of her last ill-fated flight was unsuccessful.

In an interview with Forbes, former Russian spy and newly minted venture capitalist Anna Chapman (that is quite a resume) said “If you are a decent, smart woman, if you bring value, you will go as far as you want, period. If you want something you want to get, you go and get it. There is no need to talk about your rights to have it.” I think what she is saying is actually very smart. More
