Money problems kill relationships

Published 1 hour ago
By Louis White

It is hardly surprising to find out that money is the biggest factor in relationship break-ups.

It doesn't take much these days for a relationship to become stressful and in tough economic times it certainly can hasten the end of a relationship.

The key is to be upfront at all times about your financial situation.

It doesn't mean you to tell your partner every little financial detail but don't get in over your head trying to impress a new companion if your budget won't allow you to do so.

After all, gifts and holidays will only paint over the cracks for so long if there are underlying problems from the start.

Great sex too, will only carry the relationship so far.

But when it comes to money, be honest and keep within your financial means.

Sure, splurge occasionally, no need to be frugal every minute of the day, but be aware that if your spending is dramatically in excess of your income, not only might you become single sooner than you thought, but you will also have a credit card debt or two to worry about as well. That could make finding your next partner even more difficult.

Everything you ever, ever wanted to know about 'Entourage'

Published 2 hours ago
By Brian Childs

It's been a long time since we've seen the boys from "Entourage," over a year to be precise. But through the dim fog of a year's worth of poor decisions, we recall being really, really into this show.

Fortunately Bullz-Eye has got our back with a comprehensive backlog of "Entourage" blog posts (spoiler alert).Three of Asylum's wishes for the new season:

-- Seth Green will make another cameo. Or, conversely, the "Entourage" cast will all appear on "Robot Chicken."

-- Hot, scantily clad women will constantly be hanging all over Vincent. Fingers crossed on this one.

--The boys spend an episode trying to buy "MILF Weed" from Nancy Botwin from "Weeds." Highly unlikely, but it would make for a pay cable match made in heaven.

Did we miss anything? Let us know in the comments.


Smack-addicted elephant kicks habit after three-year detox

Published 3 hours ago
By Anthony Layser

From "The Man with the Golden Arm" to "Trainspotting," heroin addiction and the battle to break free of it have been depicted throughout film history. Now studio execs may want to consider a dark sequel to "Dumbo" after the successful detox of a four-year-old bull elephant.

In an effort to control Xiguang for labor, traders fed the pachyderm smack-spiked bananas for several months. After they were arrested, the elephant was placed in treatment in the Chinese island province of Hainan and given methadone injections at five times the human dosage until he was weaned off the drug.

After three years, Xiguang -- which translates to "Big Brother" -- is no longer showing signs of withdrawal, and will be released into a wildlife park in Kunming, China, his original home province.

While he will most likely not write a memoir, because he is a non-human, we encourage Xiguang to tell his inspirational story to young elephants who may be experimenting with gateway drugs.

Good riddance to Iemma and Costa

Published 4 hours ago

Politicians deserve the scorn poured upon them for their willingness to change their stance depending upon public mood.

They change allegiances, policies and beliefs quicker than day becomes night.

The Asylum staff aren't sorry to see Morris Iemma being removed from Premier and Michael Costa sacked as treasurer. Both have helped considerably run NSW into the ground.

NSW was the only state in Australia to have negative growth in the June quarter.

Add to that our failing transport system, woeful hospital system, and the fact that parliament hardly ever meets. It is a recipe for disaster.

The Labor party have brought NSW to its knees and it doesn't matter who is in charge, the state has been going backwards for years.

A change of government is in desperate need but unfortunately we have to wait until 2011 before that can happen. It is going to be a long three years.

The good old comedy days of Paul Hogan

Published 21 hours ago
By Louis White

Paul Hogan may be under siege from the tax authorities in the United States and he may have made one too many average movies, but in his heyday he was funny.

From working on a construction bridge to having his own TV comedy, The Paul Hogan Show, to Crocodile Dundee, Hogan was his best with humour based on everyday life.

As this clip from the 1970s shows, The Paul Hogan Show was pure comedy gold.

Old brains get easily distracted

Published 22 hours ago
By Louis White

It is common for young children to have a short attention span and while I think of it most of Generation Y but actually old people suffer from it too.

A small sample of 50 people were studied by the University of California, San Francisco, that revealed older people found it harder to concentrate fully on the task at hand.

"Older adults take slightly longer to ignore distractions and during that brief delay the irrelevant information interferes with important items that they want to remember," said Adam Gazzaley, of the University of California, San Francisco.

The findings help explain why many people start to show signs of mental decline in their 60s even if they are free of dementia or any other disease.

It just goes to show no matter what your age, concentrating on one thing at any given time requires more attention than you had previously given it.

It also explains why women are alway complaining about men only being able to do one thing at a time - at least we are attempting to do it properly!

Today's Crush - Salma Hayek

Published 1 day ago
By Bonnie Biess

We often feature women in our Today's Crush section that are rising stars, not household names. But for Salma Hayek, we have to make an exception.

Hayek recently turned 42, and she remains one of the most seductive beauties in Hollywood. Her sultry allure and curvaceous frame first caught our eye in "From Dusk 'Til Dawn," and we haven't looked away since, despite the fact that she morphed into a pretty gnarly vampire.

So we salute you, Miss Hayek. May your talent always shine, and may you continue to take roles that call for on-screen nudity.

Amazing car crashes people walked away from

Published 1 day ago
By G. Xavier Robillard

There's nothing like coming home after a night out to find somebody has parked in your living room.

Honestly, we don't get too mad when it happens, because we've been there. In fact, we've personally been at fault for bike, car, motorcycle and moped accidents. And though they've all been non-lethal, we're staying away from boats.


Below is a gallery of dramatic crashes that may make you think twice about driving and decide to simply lock yourself in the house. Then again, it's probably only a matter of time until somebody crashes through your door.
