Tackling global issues like health care and the economy? That’s a piece of cake!It’s shopping for wedding dresses that’s proving more difficult to negotiate for Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her bride-to-be daughter, Chelsea Clinton.Hillary confessed to CNN’s Candy Crowley that neither she nor the former first daughter have settled on dresses for Chelsea’s planned summer nuptials to longtime love Marc Mezvinsky. “If you don’t tell anybody, Candy, we’re still looking,” Clinton fessed up in an interview with the political correspondent. “I don’t have a dress yet and neither does Chelsea. We’re working on it.” Um, Clinton ladies, time for a speedy motorcade over to the bridal atelier. Gown veterans know it takes more than one quick fitting to get that flawless look for the wedding pictures, which are sure to be broadcast around the world. No date, beyond a vague “Summer 2010.” has been released publicly by the couple, who announced their engagement last year.So, what’s more difficult, negotiating Middle East peace or wedding plans? Crowley asked. “I’d probably call it a draw about now,” Clinton laughed. If Hillary is stumped on what to wear, perhaps she can turn to the ever-stylish First Lady Michelle Obama to convene a style summit. Obama told “Today’s” Matt Lauer last week that she plans her outfits out about two weeks in advance, but beyond that does not pay too much attention to the fact that she’s perceived as a fashion icon.If Chelsea and Hillary are really pressed for time, maybe they can just shop online at J.Crew, which we all know is a favorite resource of the current administration.From the way Clinton spoke about the wedding, we have a hunch she may have been keeping a few state secrets. (Let’s just hope Hill avoids pants suits, retro prom dresses and headbands.)”It’s a new status for me, MOTB (mother of the bride), but I am proud to have that status.” For more wedding style, check out StyleList’s exclusive interview with “Say Yes to the Dress” star Randy Fenoli.

Puberty sucks for everyone, but experts and teens agree — it sucks more if you go through it early or late. And apparently, obesity can cause both.According to Elizabeth Cooney at MSNBC, previous studies had shown that higher body fat could contribute to early puberty in girls. But now scientists think obesity could also delay puberty in boys. Researchers at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor found that 14% of [...]
UPI reports on a new study in Pediatrics examining adolescent obesity.

Despite her ill-advised anecdotes about her daughters’ weight, the anti-childhood obesity program Michelle Obama will launch today seems pretty reasonable. Of course, the National Review disagrees.The program, called “Let’s Move,” seems less about fat-shaming than about getting kids to exercise and eat vegetables. According to UPI.com, Michelle Obama outlined four goals, which we evaluate below.”Increasing the number of healthy schools”The [...]
A few months ago, Playgirl went web-only, because it’s easier for dudes to click a mouse than turn a page while masturbating. But they roared up printer again just for Levi. The magazine promises all nude “pix,” but just like the (NSFWish) internet spread you’re still not getting peen. Not even a tip. We get a handful of pit muff. You can develop a case of blue eyeballs all over again! However, I will give Levi a few nipple pinches for his [...]
