Erika Linder Helen Mirren Keira Knightley Sandra Bullock Kristen Wiig &  Maya Rudolph Melissa McCarthy Charlize Theron Scarlett Johansson Mandy Moore Kristen Stewart I hate Bella Swan.

Happy International Women's Day! Let's take some time to celebrate the great women in our lives and the great women in the world. Let us celebrate the women that have overcome hardships, the women that have broken barriers, the women who have loved and inspired us. There has never been a greater time to celebrate these magnificent women. In celebration of International Women's Day, I am revealing part 1 of my Women Who Rock list. The first part of my list are female trailblazers. The women who inspire me with their strength and their guts. They are opinionated, they are fearless and let's be honest-they are fabulous. Make sure to check back for the remainder of the month, to see even more women who rock my word. Michelle Obama Somaly Mam Hilary Clinton Nancy Pelosi Robin Roberts Rachel Maddow Gabby Giffords

In honor of the First Lady "Let's Move" campaign, Jimmy Fallon and Michelle Obama present "The Evolution of Mom's Dancing". I really should be called "The Cutest Thing I Have Ever Seen". I seriously do not know how anyone could dislike this woman.

It is becoming a little bit of a tradition here on Confessions that during the month of love I unveil my list of men that continue to rock my world. Considering how successful my last list was the only responsible thing for me to do is officially declare that this tradition will live on. If you are curious to see how last year's list differed from this year here it is  My Little Valentines . This year my list is a little different. First of all, it did not feel right to narrow it down to 100. So below you will see a list composed of 110 men. I have included men that not only I find incredibly good looking but men that have enamored me with their talent and their wit. My list is in alphabetical order besides my top ten. If there is an asterisk behind their name that means they are newbies to the list. Let me know who you think is incredibly good looking. 

Over a month ago, I watched the absolutely beautiful My Own Private Idaho . I had a bit of a revelation after watching the film. Which is kind of interesting because it has nothing to do with the themes that were brought up in the film. If you have not watched My Own Private Idaho , I suggest that you check it out. It is hauntingly beautiful and River Phoenix is such a beautiful soul. Anyways, back to the topic of my post. I was thinking about how beautiful Keanu Reeves looked in the movie and how he could seriously get it. Jokingly I said to myself that "he doesn't even need to ask". Then a light bulb went off in my head. What exactly was I insinuating by that remark. Was I suggesting that because he was so attractive he does not need to ask for my permission to have sexual relations with me? After much thought, I realized that was what I was suggesting. As someone who considers themselves to be a feminist, this revelation hit me like a ton of bricks. I was compl...

what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas Fremont Street  What I am about to reveal are the only things I am allowed to talk about my trip to Las Vegas. I am sure my husband of 72 hours Alejandro won't mind me not disclosing our short courtship. I got you boo. All jokes aside, my trip to Las Vegas was  incredible. My trip to Las Vegas started off a bit bumpy with an altercation with the biggest tool of TSA agent. There was a typo on my boarding pass( just my middle initial I might add)  and he refused to let me go through. I ended up missing my flight and losing my brand new vest I got over Christmas. When I finally got to Las Vegas I was exhausted determined to not let this incident impact my trip. Wynn Hotel First of all, Las Vegas is gorgeous. It was just one great hotel after the next. My favorite was the Wynn hotel. It was whimsical and it hosts the best show in Vegas   Le Reve . If you have to see one show in Vegas it is definitely Le R...
