While promoting her new album, Under My Skin, Avril Lavigne confessed to the press that her raw, angry lyrics and volatile teen angst were rooted in carbohydrate indulgence. No, seriously, I wish I was kidding about this, but apparently, too much pasta made her life "Complicated," and she nearly broke up with her "Sk8erBoi" over a box of doughnuts. Oh Avril, please don't count carbs, I love you just the way you are, all sugared up and pissed off!

The first lecture at the National Constitution Center arrives just in time for the election, and the second will follow closely after. Find out what's really going on when you place your vote. Then, a week later, find out what really went down. If you haven't been there, the city's new National Constitution Center is a must-see. The constitutional ambiance will inspire a sense of patriotic duty in attendees of the lecture, for sure.

My boyfriend of four years just dumped me. Normally I would make myself feel better by eating chocolate ice cream and a loaf of bread, but one of my friends said, "You can't eat that shit because you'll get fat and won't fit into your Miss Sixty jeans anymore. What you need is a spa day." So she took me to The Body Klinic, where we got their signature facial, oxygen treatment, Swedish massage and sea weed body wrap. While getting our massages, my friend and I talked about what a dirty slut that bitch who stole my boyfriend was. What a cathartic experience.

Quizo

Can't get enough Quizo? So over New Deck? Then grab your posse and get on the subway -- oh wait -- I meant cab, and head down to Fergie's Pub to satiate your meaningless trivia appetite. Or, just your regular appetite for beer, along with standard bar munchies, a.k.a. burgers, wings and other greasy delights to ruin that diet you started yesterday. Maybe that's just me. Anyway, the set-up of this place acutely mimics the pubs of Dublin, and if you need a drink on a Tuesday, Fergie's will hook you up.
