With colorful bottles and a variety of appealing flavors, VitaminWater products took convenience store refrigerators by storm. Water is ideal for thirst quenching, but I'm not shy to admit I've sampled a few VitaminWater flavors here and there.

The cast of Gossip Girl was back in the Hamptons on Saturday night, but this time it was all play and no work. They got dressed up for an End-of-Summer Bash thrown in their honor by vitaminwater.

The brains and wallets behind Sex and the City: The Movie are touting the May 30 release as the "Super Bowl for women." And while viewers will likely be consuming Diet Coke and popcorn rather than licking their sticky buffalo-wing-sauced fingers and sipping on brews, one thing will remain constant between the Winter and Spring events: the heavy advertising.

A lot of times we have the impression that something is healthy just by its name but that is not always the case. I came across this great article from MSNBC.com that exposes foods that are typically labeled as healthy, but aren't:
