Martha Stewart is a busy lady. She's running an empire, fighting legal battles with several retailers, constantly showing up to daily talk shows to give lessons on how to properly clean your whites and/or bake a cake in the shape of a birdhouse, and now she's also online dating. Stewart has said that she's getting a bit lonely and so, as she is a modern woman, she made herself a profile on Match.com, or probably had one of her minions do it for her.

Regardless, Stewart has gotten more than 20,000 pageviews and roughly 1,000 date offers from various gentlemen who are interested in the domestic diva and all of the petits fours and floral arrangements she has to offer. Last Thursday, after narrowing the enormous list down to two men, she met them on The Today Show, just like your average first date. And like your average first date it was awkward, with lulls in the conversation, and a needling Matt Lauer on hand.

The two gentlemen in question seem like nice enough guys; one's a director who loves dogs and a good glass of wine, and the other is an international steel trader who likes swimming in the ocean and his two kids. Neither one mentioned a great love for organizing closets, however.
Stewart needs someone who can handle her crazy schedule and the spotlight. May I suggest a few bachelors that she might enjoy sharing a slice of her famous French apple pie with (if you know what I mean).

As the school year winds down, it's always nice to think about the teachers who put up with your nonsense all year long. The standard apple gift just doesn't cut it anymore, so we scoured through our favorite random collection of refuse website, Etsy, to find some of the worst/best gifts for your favorite professors.

10. Vintage Speak and Spell
This is not to say that your teacher does not know how to spell but just sometimes, maybe, you've caught him or her flopping the Es and Is in the word "science." Why is English so hard?

9. Vintage Pulp Paperback Print
Have you been staring longingly at your elbow-patched Economics' professor all semester? Is he just the dreamiest when he discusses supply and demand chain? This vintage pulp print might just be the most subtle way to tell him your feelings without having an awkward, "You know I am very fond of you too, Jenny, but..." conversation. Perhaps he's been pining over you as well and together you can plot to kill his wife and run away to Cuba with her large inheritance. Crazier things have happened!

Channing Tatum has always been honest about his career and acting skills, once saying in an interview for the Los Angeles Times: "I'm never going to be the best actor. I'm just not, but I will work harder than anyone out there."

He's been voted People magazine's sexiest man of the year, owns his own production company, Iron Horse Entertainment, as well as a successful burlesque-style New Orleans bar, Saints and Sinners...I've been and it's a winner...So in honor of Tatum's 33rd b-day and his other accomplishments...let us take a little look at some of his hits and misses so far...

Hit: 10 Years

This adorable indie flick about a group of high school friends who get together for their ten-year high school reunion is both entertaining and relatable. Just real people dealing with real issues. And Tatum, who costars here with his real-life wife Jenna Dewan Tatum, is both charming and impressive.

Miss: Haywire

Now this other Steven Soderbergh movie, about a black ops super soldier who is seeking payback after she is betrayed by the organization she works for, was not so successful...and was a wee bit boring. Tatum tries his best as the leading lady's (Gina Carano) ex-lover, but despite the awesome cast, which includes Michael Fassbender, Ewan McGregor and iconic '80s star Bill Paxton, this long-winded action thriller just wasn't interesting enough.

Hit: Magic Mike

So this one tends to keep coming up in my discussions lately, but I'll mention it one more time in honor of Tatum. This Steven Soderbergh film about a 30-year-old stripper, Mike, is loosely based on Tatum's earlier days as a stripper in Tampa, Florida. The movie's full of a variety of sexy guys, stripping, sex, drugs...all of the things expected in a nasty stripper environment. It was, surprisingly, a good watch and proved that Tatum could do not only funny but drama as well...plus he got to show off those impressive dancing skills of his.

There's no argument that many games rival big-budget movies now in terms of production, and just like the movies, they know that you've got to use a little sizzle to sell the steak. The art of the game trailer has progressed in ways we never could have imagined, and today we celebrate the best of the best.

10. BioShock 2: The debate is over whether BioShock Infinite is better or worse than BioShock, but pretty much everyone agrees that the entry between them is inferior to both. That may be true, but there's one area where it's clearly the winner, and that's in its trailer. Less modern and "edgy" than Infinite, and better graphically and atmospherically than BioShock, it's a real stunner. Shame about the game itself.

Adam West with Batman/Ken and Catwoman/Barbie at the launch event of Warner Bros. Consumer Products and Junk Food Clothing's Batman Classic TV Series-inspired product line at Meltdown Comics in Hollywood, CA.

Mattel is making the most of its product rights to the 1966 Batman television series and introducing the caped crusader to its superstar cash cow, Barbie. In June, Mattel will release a Barbie and Ken version of Julie Neumar as Catwoman and Adam West as Batman. (The dolls will cost around $15 each and there's going to be a Batmobile for around $50.)

Adam West, who played Batman in the live action series, recently attended a launch party at Hollywood's Melt Down Comics for Junk Food Clothing's new line of Batman inspired tee shirts and happily posed next to the various "ka-pow" worthy products in the store, including Batman/Ken and Catwoman/Barbie which are available for pre-order.

While there have been a multitude of Batman-based action dolls and paraphernalia over the years none have been officially tied to the 1966 television series. It was a marketing-rights nightmare with actors, writers, producers, studios and anyone else who could afford a lawyer all claiming to have rights to product royalties. It's taken Mattel years to reach an agreement with all the parties. The fact that the toy-making giant is putting such a marketing push behind its upcoming line of Batman products a testament to the kitschy-staying power and nostalgic appeal of the now almost 50-year-old television series.

Why can't we be friends?

There has been a lot of hubbub on the feminism front as of late. While it is wonderful that the ladies are getting their voices out there, there seems to be some disagreement on what those voices should be saying. Exactly 50 years after Betty Frieden's famous The Feminine Mystique was released, women still can't see eye to eye on what we all want... but what is so wrong with that? Can't we just agree to disagree agree, as long as we are in agreement on something?

The most recent woman to be making waves is author and Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg. Sandberg's book Lean In: Women, Work and the Will to Lead was released this month and has caused quite a stir in the female (and male) community; people are either leaning all over her or leaning way in the other direction. Sandberg's thesis is, more or less, that working women need to take a seat at the big kids' table. Through studies and figures she presents a pretty compelling argument as to why women are not leading in the workforce, some of the reasons are the fault of men, some our own deflated egos and then there are the standards of society.

We've all heard the facts: women still make 77 cents to every dollar a man makes, there are only 17 women in Congress despite women accounting for more than 50 percent of the U.S. population, and more women than men now are earning college degrees. It's hard to disagree with the notion that more women should have corner offices.

Or is it? For all of her good intentions, Sandberg has received quite a bit of aggressive feedback, some of it deserved and some not. The bulk of her critics say that Sandberg is clueless to what "real" women go through. It's easy for Sandberg to stand on a soapbox and say that women need to speak up more and take charge; she's got a Harvard-educated really nice, Prada soapbox. Most women are happy enough to just have some soap. Other commentators have negated Sandberg's argument by stating that it is polarizing and too one-size fits all. What if women don't want to lean in and they just want to hang out?

Spring Break!

With spring break right around the corner, it seems apropos that the Girls Gone Wild franchise has just filed Chapter 11. There was a time in our history when Girls Gone Wild infomercials were a regular staple on late night cable. Their name was synonymous with dirty fun and freedom from bras. In the mid-2000s, the company was spending millions in advertising revenue and raking in even more. Oh, how the mighty have fallen!

Girls Gone Wild was developed by mastermind Joe Francis who devised a premise so simple and so brilliant its success was inevitable: go to spring break locations where girls are wasted, give them free stuff like T-shirts and hats, and ask them to flash you their boobs. I can't imagine the pitch meeting for this idea but I hope everyone high-fived and snorted coke when they were done. Why didn't anyone else think of this ingenious concept before? It's basically cinéma vérité film-making depicting sorority-girl behavior when taken out of its natural habitat and placed in the wild jungle of Senor Frogs, Cancun.

Don't be that girl Tina Fey

Even three weeks after the finale of 30 Rock, I still have a heavy heart over the fact that I will never see a new episode of one of my favorite sitcoms ever again. There will never be another lesson in how to overcome your feelings by Jack Donaghy, never another Tracy Jordan going to strip bars when he should be working, no more Jenna Maroney making out with her boyfriend/celebrity impersonator, but the biggest loss of all is not seeing Tina Fey play the slightly doughtier version of herself week after week, eating "night cheese" and wearing cardigans.

The television show aside, the question of "what is next for Tina Fey" comes to mind. I think we can all agree that Fey is, at her core, a comic writer and a damn good one at that. Aside from her multiple Emmys, Golden Globe awards and SAG awards, she was also the recipient of the 2010 Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, which is one of the premier awards a comedian can receive.

Fey has been making people laugh since her days with Chicago's famed Second City troupe and then for nine years as a writer for SNL (arguably some of the funniest years in recent history). She co-starred in two movies that she penned and also has done some acting in movies that she did not write. This is all in addition to being a best-selling author of her memoire Bossy Pants. In reality, Tina Fey can do whatever it is that she wants to do, but there are certain avenues that she should probably avoid.

You go ahead and wear all the leopard print fur lined jackets you want; you are a hero.

I always knew there was a reason that Kayne West existed on this planet and it had absolutely nothing to do with the "rapping," he claims to do. Last week, Kayne's current boo and soon to be baby's momma, Kim Kardashian, made a shocking statement to Dujour magazine -- a statement that may in fact save the world.

Drum roll, please. Kimye told the mag that she would not be returning to her life affirming reality show Keeping Up with the Kardashians next season. The reality show that made her and her brood famous for being famous will have to fight all the way to obscurity without the hourglass starlet, and without Kim what are the Kardashians other than a better dressed, lower class version of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo? There is a light at the end of the tunnel, and it now appears that society's inevitable demise may put on hold for another hundred or so years.
