The star of TBS’s My Boys tells us a good one about an unconventional method of contraception.
A man’s talking to his friend and he says, “I’m about to go on vacation, and I don’t know what to do.” His buddy asks, “Why?” And the man says, “Well, last year’s vacation was Hawaii. Came back, and the wife was pregnant. The year before that was the Bahamas. Came back, the wife was pregnant. The year before that, Paris. Came back, wife pregnant. His buddy asks, “So what are you going to do differently this year?” And the guy says, “Well, this year I’m going to bring the wife.”

Sex Position of the Week: Electric Slide
In Little Hill activity on July 28, 2008 at 3:21 pm(courtesy of Cosmopolitan magazine)
EROTIC INSTRUCTIONS:
You lie down on the bed or floor on your stomach, with your legs straight and slightly apart. Your guy sits right behind your buns with his legs in front of him and his hands on either side of his body for support. He leans back at a 45-degree angle to your body so he can join his genitals with yours. As he rocks forward and back, bring your legs together for a tight fit. Rest on your elbows with your arms in front of you for leverage.
WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT:
If your guy likes taking charge in bed, this position will let him be your passion pilot. He can glide back and forth as fast or sensually slow as he desires down the runway of your thighs. And since you’re restricted from thrusting and grinding, you get to relax and completely relinquish control — allowing you to concentrate entirely on your pleasure. Plus, you get to enjoy the überhot element of surprise since you can’t see which naughty nooky move he’s planning to do next.

Little Hill HYBRID: Blackberry x Star Wars
In Little Hill creation on July 21, 2008 at 4:49 pmI’m good on the Blackberry. I know everyone in the biz has one and it does all these useful things like show your exact location on the planet (Google Earth). But I’m tired of my emails and text messages following me around the world. It’s time for some new sh*t.
So, I propose that Blackberry and George Lucas get together to offer the Blackberry R2D2 edition. I’d rather walk around with a mini-R2D2 following me around than have a Blackberry clipped on to me.
Think about it, not only could he take my calls, write my emails, and keep my schedule in order. If I ever run into any Sith lords he can have my back.

Funny Joke from a Beautiful Woman:Lena Headey
In Little Hill humor on July 17, 2008 at 3:11 pm(courtesy of Esquire magazine)
Three Italian nuns go to heaven, and God says, “You’ve been so amazing, I’m going to send you back as anyone you want.” Nun No. 1 says, “I want to go back as Brigitte Bardot.” God says, “Granted,” and sends her back to earth. Nun No. 2 says, “I want to go back as Gina Lollobrigida.” And God says, “Have a great time,” and sends her back down. The third nun says, “I want to go back as Sahara Pip-a-leeni!” And God says, “Who’s that?” And she pulls out a newspaper that reads, “Sahara Pipeline Laid by 230 Men.”
About the jokester: If Lena Headey isn’t the First Lady of comic-book-reading sci-fi dweebs, she will be soon. The British actress recently portrayed Queen Gorgo in the superbloody adaptation of Frank Miller’s 300, and she currently stars as the title character on Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, the Fox series that picks up after the events of Terminator 2, a film Headey admits to having only recently seen. Even if she wasn’t aware of the amount of machine ass she’d have to kick, she was physically well suited for the job, thanks to her boxing training. “Where I used to spar, there was this terrifying Russian female boxer named Angel. She was like Dolph Lundgren. Being an actress, I’d scream, ‘Not in the face!’” Fortunately for all, the request was obliged.

In Little Hill brain waves on July 16, 2008 at 6:03 pmSex Position of the Week: The Sofa Spread Eagle
In Little Hill activity on July 16, 2008 at 3:25 pm(courtesy of Cosmopolitan magazine)
EROTIC INSTRUCTIONS:
Stand on the edge of a couch, bed, or two chairs, with your legs spread wide. Position your man so he’s standing on the floor facing you. Adjust the width of your stance (bending your knees slightly if necessary) so he can easily slide between them and get your pelvises to meet — then rock your bodies together to feel the bliss.
WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT:
There’s nothing like the feeling of impulsive, must-have-it-right-now sex while standing up. But the Sofa Spread-Eagle spares you both the royal pain of matching up your private parts. While your stable stance allows you to move to his rhythm, your wide-spread legs give you that supersexy vulnerable feeling. All that frontal friction will hit your hot spot and take you to a no-hands-necessary climax.
Because you are both standing, nothing should hold you back! Get in some hands-on action — whether you’re stroking the back of his neck or tickling his testicles, he’ll love the attention. Ensure you’re satisfied by guiding his lips to your breasts and placing his fingers where you want them.

Mexico’s richest woman is no longer its most eligible. Last year she married Antonio Garza, the U.S. ambassador to Mexico, in a star-studded ceremony in Valle de Bravo, Mexico. This January she cashed out almost half of her stake in fellow billionaire Emilio Azcarraga Jean’s Grupo Televisa, amid reports that she was unhappy with the media company’s management. She also has a stake in Grupo Modelo, Mexico’s largest brewer, which her grandfather, a Spanish immigrant, founded in 1922.

Little Hill CHOCOLATE WATCH: World’s Most Expensive Sundae
In Little Hill taste buds on July 10, 2008 at 3:13 pmBy Vivianne Rodrigues
NEW YORK (Reuters) – A day after New York City came up with a $1,000 bagel, a local restaurateur unveiled a $25,000 chocolate sundae on Wednesday, setting a Guinness world record for the most expensive dessert.
Stephen Bruce, owner of Serendipity 3, partnered with luxury jeweler Euphoria New York to create the “Frrozen Haute Chocolate,” a blend of 28 cocoas, including 14 of the most expensive and exotic from around the globe.
The dessert, spelled with two Rs, is infused with 5 grams (0.2 ounces) of edible 23-karat gold and served in a goblet lined with edible gold. At the base of the goblet is an 18-karat gold bracelet with 1 carat of white diamonds.
The sundae is topped with whipped cream covered with more gold and a side of La Madeline au Truffle from Knipschildt Chocolatier, which sells for $2,600 a pound.
It is eaten with a gold spoon decorated with white and chocolate-colored diamonds, which can also be taken home.
“It took us a long time to experiment with all the ingredients and flavors, and more than three months were needed just to design the golden spoon,” Bruce told Reuters.
Four years ago, Bruce unveiled a $1,000 ice cream sundae called Golden Opulence, a staple on his menu and a favorite with rock stars, socialites and other celebrities.
Both desserts are sold only with advance orders. Bruce said he has received inquiries about his latest creation, mostly from Europeans planning to visit New York.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if soon we get a call from a Middle Eastern prince or Shah willing to give something sweet to his many wives on his next trip to the city,” Bruce said.
On Tuesday, New York chef Frank Tujague of The Westin New York hotel at Times Square unveiled the $1,000 bagel, topped with white truffle cream cheese and goji berry infused Riesling jelly with golden leaves. Sales will help raise funds for culinary school scholarships.

After a long night out at the bar, a man stood up to leave and fell flat on his face. Thinking he might just need some fresh air, he crawled outside. But when he tried to stand again and fell face-first into the mud, he decided to crawl home. The next morning, his wife found him asleep on the doorstep.
“You went out drinking last night, didn’t you?” she said.
“How did you know?” he replied.
“You left your wheelchair at the bar again.”

Sex Position of the Week: THE LOVE SEAT
In Little Hill activity on July 3, 2008 at 2:48 pm(courtesy of Cosmopolitan Magazine)
EROTIC INSTRUCTIONS:
Tell your partner to lie back, propping up his head and shoulders with a pillow, and have him spread his legs slightly. While you’re facing the same direction — your back is to his face — lower yourself onto his hardened penis. Put your feet between his legs on the floor or the bed. Take your right hand and place it on his right hip bone and your left hand on the bed next to his left hip bone. Use your hands and feet to move your body up and down on his shaft.
WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT:
The movement of your seat is the key to the Love Seat. With both your hands and feet controlling your motion, ride your behind up and down at a pace that feels best. While you’re doing all the work, give your man’s hands a pleasure project and have him massage your butt, back, neck, and other sexy spots he doesn’t always have access to.
Feeling but not seeing your partner lets you experiment with a fantasy or two. Give yourself momentary permission to pretend he’s Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, or a total stranger. A Cosmo word of caution: Just be sure you’re calling out the right guy’s name!

Two men are adrift in a lifeboat for days. While rummaging through the boat’s provisions, one of the men stumbles across an old lamp. When he touches it, a genie comes forth. This particular genie, however, states that she can deliver only one wish, not the standard three. Without giving much thought, one man blurts out, “Make the entire ocean into beer!” The genie claps her hands and the entire sea turns into brew. The other man looks disgustedly at the one who made the wish. After a long, tension-filled moment, he says, “Nice going! Now we’re going to have to pee in the boat.”
