(CNN) — Father, son, husband of a Spice Girl, fashion icon, role model, sporting ambassador. It is sometimes easy to forget that David Beckham was ever a midfielder of the highest caliber with more than 100 appearances for England. He wore a sarong, a headscarf, nail varnish, adorned his body with tattoos and changed his [...]
Even though The Great Gatsby is my favorite novel (and I’ve read it three times) I have always been left a little cold by Gatsby himself. I didn’t fall in love with him like his obsession Daisy did, and I didn’t become utterly enamored with him like the book’s narrator Nick Carraway did. This was [...]

For some, Mother’s Day is that day when you can’t avoid your mother’s phone call. In fact, you really have to call her or risk a lecture for the 364 other days of the year. You marvel at the marketing moms across the country have done because I mean, really, who knows when Father’s Day [...]
Can we talk about Robert Downey Jr.’s beard for a minute? It’s not quite pencil thin, but it’s distressingly narrow; a strip that connects tweezed sideburns with a manicured mustache and a chin strap. It’s decidedly not fashionable; the look really hasn’t been hip since the late 1990s, which is when the third installment of [...]
