Does anyone have a friend...who started dating your mom or dad?

Sounds weird, I know, but it happens. Take Oli Lyndale, for instance. The 26-year old is just coming to accept the fact that his mother, India, is in love with his best friend, Theo.

"Although I have known Theo since we were around 14 and I know he's a trustworthy man, it was very difficult to 'welcome' him as Mum's boyfriend," Oli told the Daily mail.

Mum and best friend started dating when Theo was 20 and she was 38, and seven years later they're still going strong. What's the creepiest part about this story -- the age difference, or the fact mummy snatched her son's BFF?

What kind of Christmas tree do you prefer?

- The themed tree with color-coordinated ornaments and lights that match the rest of the holiday decor in your home?

- Or the standing fire hazard holding giant colored bulbs and ornaments of every shape and size that go back 50 years. It pretty much looks like the ghost of Christmas past threw up in your living room.

While we're talking about trees, let's give it up for 85-year old Jean Eadie who has put up the same tree every year since 1928. The widow from Scotland seems to think people don't value things they own quite as much as they should:

"Everybody buys things and chucks them away, which they shouldn't do. I don't know why all you young people buy clothing, and the next thing I find, you've thrown it away and got a new one. That tree -- that's there. There's no reason for throwing it away."

7 Types of Foods To Avoid On A First Date

Don't get me wrong, I love buffets. I mean, I LOVE BUFFETS. Endless fried chicken and mashed potatoes is what life is all about... unless you're trying to impress a date. Guyism.com has 7 foods to avoid if you're trying to get to know each other this weekend:

7. Messy food (bbq ribs, spaghetti, nachos, etc)

6. Fast food (you suck if you take her to Arby's)

5. Burritos (this includes chili, Asian curries, and other foods that will fight your system the rest of the night -- get it?)

4. TV dinners (really?)

3. Buffets (After your four serving of apple pie, you're not the stud she thought you were)

2. Spinach (hello green teeth)

1. Onions ('nuff said)

Why are all those trucks in front of Lionel Richie's house? Oh, that's right, his daughter Nicole and Joel Madden will finally swap "I do's" this weekend. Harlow will be the flower girl and a dance floor is being constructed over the pool. There is only one strict rule -- NO DANCING ON THE CEILING. Got it?

Look for a Sheryl Crow cookbook in March. "I really got interested in cooking when I got diagnosed with breast cancer almost five years ago in February. I learned a lot about nutrition because I wanted to be proactive in my cancer treatment and part of that for me was to know what I was putting into my body, immune boosting and such," she said.

Oprah's in Australia. Just thought you'd like to know.

What is Angelina thinking at this exact moment? "I love you too, Brad," or "I'm going to kill you later, Brad..." Look

Beyonce gave her hubby a new car for his birthday. It's a little beater called a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport. Jay-Z will be able to kick that thing from 0 to 60 in 2.5 seconds. Price tag: $2 million. I can't WAIT until he has to put a baby-seat in the back of that thing.

Joke Of the Day

A man walked into work on Monday with two black eyes. His boss asked what happened.

The man said: "I was sitting behind a woman at church. When we stood up to sing hymns, I noticed that the tag on her shirt was out, so I put it back in. She turned around and punched me square in the eye."

"Where did you get the other shiner?" the boss asked.

"Well," the man said: "I figured she didn't want it in, so I pulled it back out."
