She may have cleaned up sartorially, but crude left-wing comedienne Sarah Silverman brought her filthy mouth as usual to the American Music Awards red carpet. Does she ever give it a rest?
What’s the difference between a Wednesday and a Saturday on the road? Nothing! Every day you can sleep late, relax, sightsee, drink, hang out — or all of the above.
2. Authentic (and insanely good!) international food.
Garden Asian Palace will never top the food you had in Malaysia, Luigi’s Pizza will never be like Naples, and you’ve come to realize your local Mexican restaurant tastes like poo.
Fun Brazilians, sexy Swedes, crazy Australians, wild Brits. The world was your melting pot. (Now, the most interesting person you’ve met is that crazy hobo who yells at you from a park bench.)
6. Getting completely lost — and not minding at all.
Even the hangovers were worth it. Now, you can’t remember the last time you went past midnight and, after the Full Moon Party in Thailand, you and your friends have a difference of opinion in what constitutes “a wild night.” (Hint: a third bottle of wine doesn’t.)
Striking up conversations with strangers on the road was fun and led to great adventures and new experiences. Now, people look at you strangely when you smile and say hi on the train.
More than anything, you miss the kindred spirits who shared your wanderlust. The ones who also understood that while coming home is great, absolutely nothing beats being out there in the world on a great adventure.

Do you use more than one app to record and view your health and fitness stats? A new app wants to be the one-stop-shop of apps for storing all of your health and fitness data. You may not actually use fewer apps, but with the Withings Health Companion, you can view all that health data in one place.
The Withings Health Companion app [iTunes link] for iOS, launched on Aug. 13. It allows users to monitor their weight, physical activity, heart and sleep quality and sync it to the app — even if you use other apps to track that information.
The health and fitness monitoring app space is a crowded one. But Withings has a long history in this particular niche— at least compared to others in the fitness-synced-with-social-media-space.
In 2009, the company created the first scale that Tweets your weight (that’s not a default feature, but if you feel like sharing that, you can set it up that way). Next came the Withings blood pressure monitor that connects directly into an iOS device. All this data is stored online and is accessible from the app. This new app from Withings allows you to sync you weight and blood pressure readings from various other devices and apps so you can view all of your stats on nifty charts and graphs. Withings Health Companion app also brings in your data from Zeo sleep coach, Body Media armband and Runkeeper — if you use those apps/devices.
What apps do you use to monitor your health? Would the Withings Health Companion app make it simpler? Tell us in the comments.
Nadya Suleman — better known as the Octomom — has checked into rehab following an alleged incident where she discovered her 11-year-old son watching her masturbation video online. Take it away, TMZ:
TMZ has obtained correspondence between nanny Gina B and the Orange County Dept. of Children and Family Services … in which she claims on June 28, Nadya ran to her crying, claiming she found her oldest son watching porn on his phone.
The nanny says the 11-year-old had found the website that posted his mom’s masturbation video and decided to sneak a peek. The nanny says Octo handed her the phone and asked her to block the site, but when the nanny said she needed a passcode, Octo told her to forget it. The nanny says Octo told her she and her then-boyfriend Frankie would have a chit-chat with the kid about staying off porn sites … especially hers.
Kate Moss credits the years she spent dating Johnny Depp as to how she handles fame:
“I was lucky to be with Johnny at that stage. He taught me a lot about fame. He told me ‘never complain, never explain’. That’s why I don’t use Twitter and things like that. I don’t want people to know what is true all the time and that’s what keeps the mystery.”
Real Housewife of Beverly HillsTaylor Armstrongsays that she’s found the man of her dreams, just a little over a year after her husband killed himself:
“I have met the love of my life. He’s amazing, he’s perfect, he’s everything I’ve ever wanted in my life. He’s diving in the pool right now, and he’s the most beautiful man I’ve ever met in my life.”
According to TMZ, this is a photo of Kelsey Grammer’s baby in the Playboy mansion. UPDATE: Kelsey said they brought the baby because he couldn’t find a babysitter.
