    'I Love You': Have You Said It By Accident?

    There comes a time in a relationship when three words can mean a new level of trust and intimacy or profound embarrassment. It's a moment immortalized in pop culture everywhere from Rachel and Ross on “Friends” to the more platonic relationship between Paul Rudd and Jason Segel’s characters in “I Love You, Man.”

    With all the pressure around these three words, they are bound to come out a the wrong time, and Glamour’s 2012 Guy survey found that a full 50 percent of men admitted to saying “I love you” by accident (i.e., before they meant to), with the biggest “excuse” being “it just came out” (56 percent). Being drunk at the time (23 percent) and saying it during sex (13 percent) rounded out the top three reasons for premature confessions of devotion.

    There was another question that got a “yes” from over half of survey-takers: Saying “I love you” first. 56 percent of the men surveyed by Glamour said that in past relationships, they’ve been the first to say those three words. A study published in the June 2011 issue of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology produced similar results; researchers at MIT surveyed 100 undergraduates and 47 heterosexual couples and found that in two thirds of relationships, men were the first to say “I love you,” and often think about saying it a full six weeks before the women in the relationship.

    But the results of the MIT study also showed that those three words may have a different meaning for men and women: Men were happier to be told “I love you” if they hadn’t yet had sex with their partner, while women were happier if their partners confessed their love after a sexual relationship had developed. Those findings suggested to researchers that men associate the phrase with physical fidelity and women see it more as a sign of emotional intimacy and commitment. "Men may be more impulsive in the way they express love, but what love means to men and what love means to women may be very different," study co-author Josh Ackerman, assistant professor of marketing at MIT Sloan School of Management, said in a press release.

    Debbie Harry Mistaken For Lindsay Lohan

    Blondie singer Debbie Harry, 66, caused a stir on Sunday morning, when she was rushed by photographers trying to snap a photo of 25-year-old actress Lindsay Lohan.

    According to Page Six, photographers mistook Harry for Lohan, with her platinum blond bangs, aviator sunglasses and black hooded sweatshirt.

    Despite their 41-year age difference, Harry did in fact look quite similar to Lohan, who two days earlier left the same hotel wearing similar sunglasses.

    We can't say we're too shocked by the paparazzi's mistake. Lohan's face looks radically different as of late and she's also been looking like 49-year-old Victoria Gotti's twin for some time.

    Lady Gaga's Meat Bikini: Tasteful Or Tasteless?

    We thought we'd seen everything in terms of Lady Gaga's outfits--she's worn telephones as hats, cigarettes as sunglasses, PVC to meet the Queen, decorated her Birkin Bag...well, we could go on forever. But her latest outfit for Vogue Hommes Japan takes the cake. Gaga dons a bikini and a tiny beret made from raw steaks and her lips and nails are painted red. Take a look and tell us what you think.

    Is Pippa Middleton Responsible For Spike In Nude Tight Sales

    Catapulted to style stardom as a result of her sister's wedding, Pippa Middleton's clothing choices are almost as influential as her sister's. The day after the wedding, the little sis stepped out with a gray leather Modalu bag that sold out almost instantly. And we're sure she's done wonders for High Street brands such as Zara.

    But earlier this month, Jezebel pointed out that Pippa committed "the ultimate pantyhose sin" while she was spotted wearing nude tights in Paris, "no less."

    And somehow, the skin-toned hosiery trend is catching on! The Telegraph reports that sales of nude tights has "risen by up to 85 percent in the past year."

    The shocking increase has been attributed to a hesitancy to jump from opaques in the winter months to bare legs in the spring, as nude stockings offer an in-between of sorts. A second, more health-conscious reason for the once-taboo (possibly still taboo) trend: "[It] may also be driven in part by fears over sun exposure. Malignant melanoma is Britain's second most common cancer in 15 to 34-year-olds."

    Will you follow Pippa's lead and wear nude hosiery on cooler summer nights, or have you sworn off the flesh-toned tights?
