Katy Perry brought more than just "Fireworks" to inauguration weekend. The 28-year-old singer donned a patriotic ensemble as she performed at the Kids' Inauguration Ball on Saturday in Washington, D.C.

Perry appeared alongside Usher and the cast of "Glee" at the fete, which was hosted by First Lady...

"We've seen the New England Patriots five times in the last 12 years be victorious [in the AFC championship game). We've...

Alain de Botton's latest book How To Think More About Sex has an eye-catching title, and is an intelligent discussion of society's greatest obsession. "We don’t think too much about sex," he says. "We’re merely thinking about it in the wrong way." We interviewed the British writer and public intellectual via email about how none of us are 'normal', why sex will always be difficult, and what the ultimate point of sex is for us all. Why did you choose to write about sex? I wrote it because it's...
