“He’s a very smart man, and I was in love with him when I married him. Let’s just say I haven’t heard from him since he texted me saying he was divorcing me December 31, 2011.” Wowzers. That’s rough!

“At first when I met him he wanted an equal, and I think a lot of times strong men do want an equal, but then they get that equal and they’re like, I can’t handle the equalness. He didn’t like the atmosphere of me being the boss on tour. So that was really hurtful, and it was very controlling, which was upsetting.”

Yesterday Mariah was working on a new video with singer Miguel in Italy, and part of the video included Mariah wearing a slinky, black monokini.

Far from camera shy, Mariah shared a few sexy pics on Twitter from her video shoot, along with one of her taking a dip in the pool (shared via Instagram):

In the clip we see Mayer in the studio putting the final touches on his new single “Paper Doll.” He grabs an acoustic guitar as he hums the lyrics while producer Don Was (who as previously produced albums for a pair of Mayer’s idols, The Rolling Stones and Bonnie Raitt) looks on.

Well apparently Oreo has decided to go with a new summer-themed flavor.

The new, limited-time flavor is… WATERMELON!

Yes, Watermelon-flavored Oreos! …These CAN’T taste good… right?

They use the vanilla cookies, not the traditional chocolate ones. And in between you get cream that’s half pink, half green, and all watermelon-y.

By all rights, this should be disgusting… but the early reviews online are POSITIVE.

The website JunkFoodGuy.com described it as, quote, “a watermelon taste like it had been blended with cream. Imagine a watermelon ice cream.”

They’re $3 a package, but you can only get Watermelon Oreos at Target, and just for the summer!

Here are some results from a new survey on moms and stress.

The average mother feels stressed at least five times a day… but 14% feel stressed at least ten times a day!

The most stressful time of day is 11:56 A.M. Probably because it’s right around lunch time, when they realize the morning is over and there’s a TON of stuff still left to do.

The second-most stressful time is 8:01 A.M.

And the third-most stressful time is 5:30 P.M.

In addition to the most stressful times of day, the study found the top five most stressful situations that a mom has to face.

The most stressful situation is going to the grocery store with kids.

The rest of the top five are:

• Juggling housework with taking care of kids,
• The chaos of the morning,
• Trying to get kids to eat, and
• Preparing different meals for picky kids.

The average mother spends three hours and 28 minutes a day doing family tasks.

To all the stressed out moms… thank you for all of your hard work!

New research says that there are direct ties to narcissism and involvement in social media.

In other words, the more you’re on Facebook and Twitter, the more full of yourself you are.

The study, published online in Computers in Human Behavior, was conducted by University of Michigan researchers Elliot Panek, Yioryos Nardis and Sara Konrath.

The researchers broke the sites down like this: “Facebook is a mirror and Twitter is a megaphone.” They also broke down the age groups of the narcissistic users of these social media sites.

Researcher Elliot Panek explains that narcissistic college students used Twitter, and why:

“Among young adult college students, we found that those who scored higher in certain types of narcissism posted more often on Twitter. Young people may overevaluate the importance of their own opinions. Through Twitter, they’re trying to broaden their social circles and broadcast their views about a wide range of topics and issues.”

According to Panek, Facebook serves narcissistic adults as a mirror:

“But among middle-aged adults from the general population, narcissists posted more frequent status updates on Facebook. It’s about curating your own image, how you are seen, and also checking on how others respond to this image,” he said. “Middle-aged adults usually have already formed their social selves, and they use social media to gain approval from those who are already in their social circles.”

The researchers were unable to determine whether narcissism leads to increased use of social media, or whether social media use promotes narcissism, or whether some other factors explain the relationship.

But either way, depending on what type of approval you’re looking for, you’ll most likely waste – er – spend a lot of time on one of these sites.

Just Asking … What are you – megaphone or mirror? Do you think there’s truth to this study? How much time do you spend social networking?

First off, John Mayer and Taylor Swift dated for a little bit. If you didn’t know that already. The relationship reportedly did not end well. Swift, like she does in these moments, writes a breakup song entitled Dear John. In that song, there is a line that says “You paint me a blue sky and go back and turn it to rain.” In Mayer’s new song, Paper Doll, there is a line that says “Someone’s gonna paint you another sky.” OOOOOH!!!!! Scandalous! There is more. Swift’s song 22 is a huge hit right now. Well, Mayer has a part of the verse in his new song that says “You’re like twenty-two girls in one.” The song and the lyrics are below for your full speculative pleasure!

Paper doll, come try it on
Step out of that black chiffon
Here’s a dress of gold and blue
Sure was fun being good to you

This one we made just for Fall
And Winter runs a bit too small
This mint green is new for Spring
My love didn’t cost a thing

You’re like twenty-two girls in one
And none of them know what they’re runnin’ from
Was it just too far to fall?
For a little paper doll

Fold a scarf, Moroccan red
And tie your hair behind your head
Strap into some heels that hurt
You should’ve kept my undershirt

You’re like twenty-two girls in one
And none of them know what they’re runnin’ from
Was it just too far to fall?
For a little paper doll

Cut the cord and pull some strings
And make yourself some angel wings
And if those angel wings don’t fly
Someone’s gonna paint you another sky

‘Cause you’re like twenty-two girls in one
And none of them know what they’re runnin’ from
Was it just too far to fall? (x2)

Earlier this month, Mariah Carey announced that her upcoming 11th studio album would drop on July 23rd of this year, but she hadn’t released the title of her new album yet. Well Walmart may have released it for her!

When Walmart made the album available for preorder on its official site, it included the title The Art Of Letting Go… 

Hopefully the Diva isn’t too upset at the store’s slip up… but a recent tweet shows that the superstar isn’t as angry as we might have feared, and may even be hinting that the suspected title is correct:

…Melancholic moment letting go of something this personal to me yet I couldn't be more excited to give three years of my soul to the fans.—
Mariah Carey (@MariahCarey) June 17, 2013

On one of her earliest hits from 1991 was “Can’t Let Go” so the new title for her album over a decade later  is so appropriate!

While she hasn’t officially confirmed the title The Art Of Letting Go as the title of her new album, her longtime friend and producer Jermaine Dupri tweeted a link also referring to The Art of Letting Go:

Mariah Carey, July 23: The Art of Letting Go. The new album will be available for all the lambs on July 23 bit.ly/18U2hnl—

Regardless of the name of the album, we expect it to be a smash hit! We have already fallen in love with Mariah’s duet with Miguel “#Beautiful.”

The 28-year-old pop singer made headlines as the cover girl for the July 2013 edition of Vogue. In addition to the release of the photos, she took fans backstage and into the average beauty routine before the photo shoot in a video which she posted on Twitter Monday (June 17).

In the short video, she goes from completely make-up-less, to all done up, and speaks about the many insecurities she has about her looks, including her skin problems:

“You know, my skin used to be a lot worse than it is. So we would do a lot more coverage because I was insecure about my skin … Most of the time I’m doing stuff with big lights and a lot of HD, so there are a lot of things to think about when painting the face.”

She also explains how her hair has been dyed since she was 15 years old, and what she thinks of her other features:

“My brows and my eyes I think are what frame my whole face. I have alright lips and alright cheekbones, but they’re no showoffs.”

Wow! We wish Katy could see herself the way her fans do — as BEAUTIFUL! But it’s nice to know that such big stars are just as self-conscious as us normal people…
