The New Middle Age

FitSugar — Mon, 15 Jan 2007 03:04:17 PST

What age would you consider to be "middle aged"? 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s?

Well it turns out that 60% of Americans believe that the 60s are the new "middle age," thanks to healthy eating, longer life spans and not to mention a cool $9.4 billion spent per year in cosmetic surgery. Yikes.

For women, our 40s are being celebrated as the time where we can be comfortable and confident in both our personal and financial terms -- Most people truly believe that life starts at 40. Giving women worldwide, something to look forward to.

Americans May be Turning Into Giants

FitSugar — Mon, 18 Dec 2006 08:30:00 PST

According to new U.S. Census Bureau data, Americans spend an average of about eight-and-a-half hours a day doing sedentary activities such as watching television, using computers (though I think it's OK if you're on FIT), reading, listening to the radio, or going to the movies. This sedentary lifestyle is the main contributing factor as to why we are the most obese people on the planet.

Other contributing factor found: Americans consumed more than twice as much high fructose corn syrup per person than in 1980. In addition to getting fatter, we're also getting taller.

What's more? As health-care costs continue to increase, more Americans pray for their health than invest in all forms of alternative medicine or therapy combined.

Dear the all mighty, please don't let this double-triple burger be bad for me...

Fit's Tip: Don't become a statistic and get moving. If you're one that spends 8.5 hours sedentary, then start cutting back and start moving. Go for a walk or take the dog out -- anything, even if it's small, will help.

Valentine's Cards For Your Double-Hearted Time Lord

Kelly Schwarze — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 04:28:32 PST

Since Time Lords have two hearts, we presume their Valentine's Day celebrations are doubly romantic. BBC America must agree as they released a set of free Doctor Who love coupons to send to your own Time Lord or special companion. With nods to the mysterious power of regeneration, the Doctor's favorite meal, and promises of a fez, this card will make a Whovian swoon.

If a loving look at all things Who isn't enough for you, the BBC finally announced that the filming of the show's next season begins on Feb. 20 in Cardiff, Wales. The Ponds are returning to the story line, but it's clear they'll be leaving the series for good next season under sad circumstances.

What do you predict will happen in the next season of Doctor Who?

McG Talks Taking Reese From Cute to Sexy and This Means War's Surprise Ending

Lindsay Miller — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 03:05:00 PST

This Means War director McG is no stranger to working with some of Hollywood's hottest leading ladies. On his latest film, the man behind Charlie's Angels says he tasked himself with setting Reese Witherspoon's America's Sweetheart image off on a steamy new trajectory. I chatted with McG at the recent LA press day for the project about Reese's sex appeal and smarts, as well as why the ending he chose for the film might even surprise his cast. Check out the interview and catch This Means War when it hits theaters on Valentine's Day!

We have to wait until next Summer to see some of our favorite comic book heroes align on the big screen for The Avengers, but at least we've got some new pictures from the film to hold us over. Get another peek at the film's familiar faces - that is, Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man, Chris Evans as Captain America, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, and Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury.

Honoring Some of Our Favorite Geeks For Black History Month

Michele Foley — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 05:01:38 PST

We may have Valentine's Day on the brain, but February also marks an important time of the year - Black History Month. In honor of Black History Month, let's take a look at some of our favorite geeks, both past and present. Everyone on this list has made vast contributions to furthering tech as we know it.

Dwayne McDuffie - The recently passed McDuffie wrote comic books for both Marvel and DC (including Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight, the Fantastic Four and the Justice League of America) before founding his own company, Milestone Media, which helped pioneer the use of multicultural characters as its heroes.
Mark Dean - Nerd alert! Without Dean, there may not have been a PC - he holds three of IBM's original nine PC patents, leading the teams that developed the ISA bus and the first one-gigahertz chip.
Mae Carol Jemison - It doesn't get much geekier than space travel; Jemison was the first black woman to travel in space.
Philip Emeagwali - We can all blame Emeagwali for our Internet addiction. He developed the fastest supercomputer software in the world. His IQ is too high to be measured by conventional standards, and he's won a Gordon Bell Prize, which is like the Nobel Prize for computer science.

See the rest of the notables when you read more.

David Beckham and Prince Harry Meet Up For a Night of London Clubbing

Allie Merriam — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 07:26:06 PST

David Beckham and his best friend Dave Gardner spent last night at what seems to be London's hottest spot, the Arts Club. Prince Harry was out as well to say hi to David, along with Princess Eugenie and the singer Katherine Jenkins. It was Harry and David's latest get-together. David visited with Harry when the latter went to LA for a weekend during his time in the US doing an Apache helicopter training course. Both good-looking British guys are looking forward to the Olympics, with David hoping to play for Great Britain's soccer team. Harry recently expressed an interest in doing a PR-friendly race against champion runner Usain Bolt while touring Latin and South America to promote his grandmother Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee.

The evening of fun came as a break from work for David. He traveled to London earlier this week to launch David Beckham bodywear for H&M, later celebrating the launch with his parents and his wife Victoria's mom and dad. David also spent an afternoon filming an ad for Adidas. Victoria, meanwhile, has her own new collections on the brain. She's gearing up for New York Fashion Week, where she'll actually have two presentations. In addition to her Victoria Beckham Collection, she's also showing Victoria by Victoria Beckham.

Chris Evans Flirts and Flexes His Super Sexy Muscles During a Shirtless Photo Shoot

Lauren Turner — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 17:09:00 PST

Chris Evans went shirtless on the set of a Details photo shoot at Vasquez Rocks Park outside of Los Angeles yesterday. His muscles were on display as he climbed a rock for the cameras, and he later flexed his flirting skills for another setup. Chris was seen hugging, kissing, and playing around between snaps with multiple women, who were apparently working on the shoot. The sexy spread is just the beginning of Chris's promotions for The Avengers, which hits theaters in May. He'll get back to his Captain America character in the film after playing the superhero in Captain America: The First Avenger last year. Chris isn't the only Avengers star to be spotted without his shirt lately, since Chris Hemsworth, who plays Thor, showed skin during a vacation with Matt Damon last month.
