Will Your Partner Cheat On You?
Maybe. Research has put the odds at about 23% for men and 19% for women. Interesting -- they discovered cheating is associated with a fear of sexual failure. Insecure cheaters look for risky situations to boost their sexual arousal -- or they just may be trying to avoid the baggage of their sexual anxiety.
Heff's Revenge
As you know, poor 85-year old Hugh Hefner was dumped a week before he was supposed to marry 25-year old Crystal Harris. So now Hefner has two problems -- no bride -- and a Playboy cover-shot of Crystal under the headline "Introducing Mrs. Crystal Hefner" that was hitting news stands the same week. So what did Heff do? Slap a "Runaway Bride" sticker on each issue. Nice.

Clarence Clemmons never recovered from the stroke he suffered a week ago and died Saturday. He was 69. He, of course, will always be known as one of Springsteen's best buddies on stage. The two teamed up in '72 and never looked back. But you can't forget about Clarence Clemmons -- 80's pop star! Here's one of the greatest pop songs out of the mid-80's. It's Clemmons with Jackson Brown (and, hey, isn't that Daryl Hannah?), with "You're a Friend of Mine"
