From the untold truth of Pauley Perette's departure from the police procedural to stars clashing heads with showrunners, "NCIS" fans have pretty much seen it all.

It looks like another guy is looking to add himself to Taylor Swift's "long list of ex-lovers." The award-winning pop star is single (at the time of this writing) after her widely-covered breakup with her boyfriend of six years, Joe Alwyn, and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce knows an opening when he sees one.

It's no secret: online dating is hard. Whether you're struggling to snag a match, or you're finding it nearly impossible to make a real connection when you're inundated with pictures of guys holding fish, you're not the only one who's having difficulties. But what else can you do? In this increasingly digitized romantic landscape, the monotony of swiping left and right all day can make it hard to avoid the dreaded dating burnout.
Luckily, not all dating apps are created equally.

Tucker Carlson, TV personality and former Fox News correspondent, has danced with controversy for years now. But controversy isn't the only thing he's danced with.

At the time, Carlson was still a host for MSNBC, after having jumped from network to network, with his most notable jobs at CNN and PBS.
After his high-profile firing from Fox, people have been wondering what he'...

Ever since I got my period at age 12, my pre-menstrual symptoms have been intense.
It was like clockwork: for about a week and a half every month, I couldn’t get out of bed. I couldn’t focus on the simplest tasks. Even the most minor inconveniences or disagreements could send me spiraling: my suddenly overwhelming anxiety made mountains out of molehills.

We've all been there at one point or another: your manicure from two weeks ago is on its last legs, chipped beyond repair. A fresh, new manicure is in order. However, before you make that call to your favorite salon, make sure you weigh your options.
