Ladies, what should every guy know how to do, but most don't?

What's the one thing you wish men today would know how to do... here are a 8 from a website called Guyism.com

8 Things To Master Before You're 30 -- here are a few I found interesting

At least one amazing meal

Not dressing like a jerk, but more your age
Liquor - memorize a staple cocktail, and learn how to properly open a bottle of wine
Defusing a situation, ya know, the guy that steps in and tells everyone to "calm down" and "let it go."
Changing a tire - and a diaper

RadarOnline is calling it an "emotional reunion" between Lindsay Lohan and her father, Michael, when he came to visit her in rehab. It's the first time the two have seen or spoken face-to-face in seven months. "I am an incredibly proud father tonight," he said. To his credit he has pledged to not comment on anything relating to his daughter. We'll see how long that lasts.

Not so for mom -- Dina Lohan, Lindsay's mother, was on the Today Show yesterday telling the world that the Betty Ford Center has been "life changing" for her daughter. "She's just a different person," reports mom. Watch it here

Word is Christina Aguilera has been seeing a guy named Matthew D. Rutler, a set assistant from the movie "Burlesque." Pictures if you care.

If Tom Sizemore says you have a drinking problem, then you REALLY have a drinking problem. He was on CNN talking about his good friend Charlie Sheen: "I don't want to be a doomsayer, but if he doesn't get any help it's just going to get worse." Sizemore has spent the better part of the decade battling his own demons.

Several sources say Lily, Allen is "responding well" to treatment of a blood infection following her hospitalization on Friday.

Can Johnny Depp take a bad photo? Apparently so, which is why Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter is upset with the direction Annie Leibovitz took the photo shoot last week in London. Judge for yourself when Depp covers the January issue coming out soon.

Nancy O'Dell is the new Mary Hart. "I am honored to be the one chosen to fill a TV legend's seat and I hope I can do her proud." Hart will leave the show in 2011 after a 30-year run.

Michael Jackson's family appeared with Oprah to talk about life since the King of Pop died. His mother, Katherine, says the old phrase "time heals all wounds" simply does not apply. "I don't think I'll ever be healed," he said. "It will get better, but some days it's like it just happened."

Michael's kids, Prince, 13, Paris, 12, and Blanket, 8, also sat down with Oprah and talked about one of their favorite memories with their father which included sitting on the roof in Las Vegas "at our house, eating Snickers and drinking soda."

Did You Know

How did a New Zealand city slash its rate of violence around their pedestrian mall? Did they...

a) Hire more police

b) Stop serving alcohol

c) Crank Mozart throughout the mall

Answer: Yes, it's "C". Since playing classical music, violence has fallen from 77 incidents per week in October of 2008, to just two for the same week this year.

Who Said It?

"The whole situation is strange indeed -- surreal even."

-That's the mother of Brahim Rachiki, who confirms that her son, 33, is dating Madonna.

Joke of the Day

A man with a gun goes into a bank and demands for money.

Once he is given the money, he turns to a customer and asks: "Did you see me rob this bank?"

The man replied, "Yes sir, I did."

The robber shoots him

He then turned to a couple standing next to him and asked the woman, "Did you see me rob this bank?"

The woman replied, "No sir, I didn't, but my husband did!"
