I’m a huge Yankees fan. It’s a fact. An inarguable one, actually. I mean, what 12-year-old girl gets Yankee tickets for her birthday? (If you couldn’t figure that one out, it would be me.) My most recent superfluous expenditure was my 100-dollars-a-pop July 9th tickets. Nevermind that my (BRAND-SPANKIN’-NEW) car broke down en-route to the game, I got to attend one of the greatest days of Derek Jeter’s career. Congrats on 3,000 Captain, and here’s five reasons everyone should love Derek Jeter.

1. The boy’s got talent. Derek Jeter has a laundry list of accomplishments, most of which would be lost on the non-baseball-lovers mind. Don’t worry, I won’t bore you with the long list of cool stuff he’s done, but there’s quite enough of it.

2. He’s hot. I mean come on, anyone who disagrees might be legally blind. Okay, that was mean, but seriously. Hellooo bright blue eyes, dark skin and a smile that could feed all of the children in Africa. Well, I wish at least.

3. Charity. Charity, and more charity. Jeter’s known for being involved with numerous charitable organizations, and even founding his own, called Turn 2. I mean, Jeter even said, “I want to set up a foundation that will have a positive impact on kids. I want to help nurture dreams. I want to show kids there’s another way to go.” A man with a big heart. Hi, let’s get married.

4. Chivalry isn’t dead. I’ll bet you my next Yankee home game tickets (just kidding, I’d never risk losing them), that Jeter’s never spoken ill-ly of an ex. Or a rival. Or of pretty much anyone. He knows how to be a gentleman, and a real team player. Swoon.

5.  He’s a Yankee. And proud of it, “My office is at Yankee stadium. Yes, dreams do come true.” Okay, listen. Before all of you Red Sox fans google my home address, hear me out. Being a New York Yankee is about be respectable, having talent and being gracious to your opponents. The Captain (and there’s a reason he is the one), is the epitome of everything it means be a Yankee. Whether you love the team or not, you have to respect him for the respect he gives others. He’s a Yankee through and through.

We’re back with another scrumptious G.W.W.E. (Guys We Wanna Eff), and this week all of our affections belong to none other than Yankee shortstop Derek Jeter.

Derek Jeter is absolutely the total package: drop-dead-gorgeous, an all-star athlete, charming, and above all, a true gentleman.  Ladies have been on deck to eff the champion charmer since his rookie days in 1996. Leading the Yankees to four World Series titles in his first five years as a major leaguer, Jeter’s also been named Rookie of the Year, World Series MVP,  and All-Star MVP, among other awards. (Hey Jete, is that a Golden Glove in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?)

Jeter’s always been an example of terrific sportsmanship. He always puts the Yankees first, and gives his unwavering support for teammates even as they face hardship such as injury or steroid-use allegations.  “We just want to win,” he says of the Bronx Bombers. “That’s the bottom line.” And unlike many athletes who are all talk and no action, Jeter backs up his claims by making jaw-dropping catches and swift double-plays. Have you seen this diving catch he made into the stands? His body sure must be durable–I wonder what else it’s capable of doing….

But aside from his achievements on the baseball diamond, Jeter’s a star off the field, too. He’s got a smooth sense of humor (evident from his appearances on Saturday Night Live), is a Midwestern boy at heart, and he knows how to party! Frequently spotted at New York nightclubs (work hard, play hard, right?), I not-so-secretly hope to run into him one of these days.

In case you needed another reason to use a condom, recent polls show that people across the nation are still completely skeeved out by the idea of herpes.

In a report released by CBS news and WebMD, “503 U.S. adults with genital herpes and about 1,400 other adults who said they didn’t have genital herpes” were asked questions regarding the icky yet easily transmittable disease.

In addition to ranking herpes second to HIV as a social stigma, most of the non-infected participants said they’d steer clear of sleeping with someone who had the disease. Read More »

The word ‘sexy’ makes me think of sex. Ya know, hot nakedness. How could it not? It’s got sex written all over it.

But then I remember, it’s more than just a killer body that makes someone totally attractive. Yes, personality, mystery and a sense of humor are the obvious qualities. But I think it’s all about the subtle things — the way someone walks, the way their hair falls in their eyes, facial expressions, respectful gestures, quirkiness and sincere kindness to strangers.

As Monica Mitro (a Victoria’s Secret spokeswoman) put it, “sexy is about how you are as a person.” And since Victoria’s Secret it pretty much the epitome of sexy, they’ve compiled a list of sexy celebrities, “What is Sexy.”

Justin Timberlake obviously was voted Hottest Male Musician. Usually I’d be all about this, but after hearing a few a-hole-ish words come from his lips in recent interviews, I’m kind of off him. Check out the list below and see if you agree with their picks. Read More »
