The Relax Far Infrared Ray Sauna spa treatment doesn't actually use a Snuggie, but in following a similar framework, allows for total arm freedom during while one allegedly burns off “more calories in 15 minutes than a 45-minute cardiovascular workout.” Also, you're a fat robot now. WORTH EVERY PENNY!
Celebrity Buzz Scarlett Johansson's famed, gravity-defying boobs are smaller these days, and a lot of people are (understandably) upset. ScarJo tried to turn the outcry into a discussion about body image and tabloids, but that does not put the bust back in the cup. It is ok for me to objectify her in this way because I am a woman. So just eat a grilled cheese and bring back the rack, SJ.
Culture Buzz In case you've never clicked it, it links to the poorly written story of one Nicholle Stevenson's magic berry- and colon cleanse-fueled weight loss. The site is filled with spelling and grammar errors, but clearly they spent lots of money advertising it. So maybe mistakes have been proven to telegraph some sort of “it's real, y'all!” authenticity? In any case, I can’t wait for my first shipment of berries to arrive.
Style Buzz They work like a dietary abacus: Move them from one wrist to the other as you eat your daily food allowances. Sounds like a lot of fun. “I love your bracelets, Diane!” “Thanks. They're because I'm fat!”

Sure, she built her musical career on the “angry chick” archetype, prone to the ills of a society drunk on its own imbalanced gender politics. BUT SHE LOST TWENTY POUNDS!!!!! Isn't it ironic? Well, yeah, I really do think [so].

Upload a picture of yourself, and the WeightView website will doctor it until you're however many pounds skinnier. It's supposed to be for weight-loss inspiration, but it seems better suited to online dating websites.
Former SNL cast member Horatio Sanz dropped 100 lbs. and looks…awesome? Is it weird to say that? Who's laughing now, Jimmy Fallon? (Well, probably still you because you think you're hilarious.)
Science Buzz California researchers report that they have pinpointed two drugs that mimic many of the beneficial effects of exercise. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. One of the side effects is that it probably makes all your hair fall out or something.
Science Buzz An acupressure technique where they put a staple in your ear to curb your appetite. It’s up to you whether you believe in ancient Chinese wisdom. There are definitely many folks out there who swear by acupuncture (I know some of them and they’re not even that weird or new-agey!)
