Yuck.

Teri Hatcher will soon be giving women answers to questions we never asked

Teri Hatcher is teaming up with Disney to launch a website for women, starring Teri Hatcher, named after Teri Hatcher and, supposedly, some of it will be written by Teri Hatcher.

I find her a curious choice. She’s 45, so presumably the site is targeting women over 40. If my women friends and I are any indication, Teri Hatcher isn’t one whose thoughts and opinions women of a certain age care about. We envy her figure and her bank account. That’s about it.

But let's let Teri Hatcher tell you in her own words about what to expect from her new website:

"I have a compelling passion to be a woman with other women." 

"I'm just open and talk about anything, usually with humor, because that's what gets me through the day. I don't self-edit."

"I'm not afraid to talk about what worked for me and what hasn't."

GetHatched.com hasn't officially launched, but there's some placeholder ad copy and images of, who else, Teri Hatcher at the site.

It's not like we have an obesity problem in the U.S.

After a positive response from test markets in Rhode Island and Nebraska, KFC is rolling out a new sandwich called the Double Down.

There's no bread involved. This is just two slabs of fried chicken holding together two pieces of bacon, two melted slices of Monterey Jack and pepper jack cheese and Colonel's Sauce.

KFC announced the sandwich's introduction on April 1. Understandably, many thought it must be an April Fool's joke. It's no joke.

Pets That Kill Their Owners

There's a brief but hysterically funny review in today's New York Times about a new TV show from Animal Planet. The show is called 'Fatal Attraction' and it's about exotic pet owners and the animals who eat them.
