This year on S.A.D., a.k.a. Valentine's Day, instead of holding yourself up at home listening to something from Adele or watching Lifetime while eating with the only dependable men in your life, Ben and Jerry, throw a party. No need to feel sorry for yourself at these soirees since they're meant to make you proactive in terms of looking for love. Who knows? Maybe this time next year you'll be part of one of the thousands of couples rubbing your love in single people's faces. More»

I know you don't want to acknowledge that the superficial Hallmark holiday is about a week away, but it is, and single people everywhere should be prepared. We know you have excuses for not snagging Mr. Right (again) this year, but save them for your mom. You'll definitely be needing alcohol to either survive the night, so here are ten Valentine's Day cocktails that won't disappoint. More»

Australia Day is an Australian national holiday that commemorates the arrival of the First Fleet at Sydney Cove in 1788. Similar to the American Fourth of July, Australians celebrate this holiday with picnics, fireworks, etc, focused around Hyde Park. See all things Australia Day after the jump. More»

Most of the many New Yorkers who skip the Hamptons take pride in dismissing the East End as a perverse abstraction. It is, after all, Long Island. But at some point, even the most hardened Hamptons hater questions his superiority. Wouldn't a beach be nice? Good thing there's plenty going down in NYC to snap him out of it. More»

I have always been an ardent lover of Memorial Day Weekend. For the past five years or so, the holiday has even warranted its own distinguishing acronym, as it has become ever more deeply entrenched in our yearly excitement. MDW carries with it an air of hope – it signals (albeit not technically, since the summer solstice doesn't actually come until June) the beloved beginning of summer – grilling, going down the shore, strolling through the park, having a picnic – all of the activities that were not possible in early springtime are inducted back into our routines with the onset of MDW.

Sometimes when we read about the wars, genocides, nuclear threats, and terrorist's plots happening all around us, we become a little bit concerned about our human race. Then we see stories like the ones we came across today and become SERIOUSLY distressed about all of our fates. Leave it to Jezebel, who continues to inform us on life's atrocities to call our attention to the following stories today:

German playboy Rolf Eden (pictured above) has filed charges against a 19 year old girl who refused to sleep with him after a night out. The complaint? AGEISM! Apparently after a "night out on the town" with the German equivalent to our Hugh Hefner, the girl refused to have sex with him saying he was too old for her.

"That was shattering. No woman has ever said that to me before," Eden told the German tabloid. "I was crushed." He has filed charges with the prosecutors' office, he said. "After all, there are laws against discrimination."

He's 77 years old!! For f*ck's sake we don't blame the girl! This is the same loser that claims to have slept with between 2,000 to 3,000 women in his life and says he wants to die while in the process of having sex, saying: "I would like to die as I have lived -- on a woman."

And if you didn't think that guy was creepy enough, here's a guy living within miles of us that left us even more grossed out. On Monday in Teaneck, NJ a 24 year old man was arrested for having sex with a 92 year old woman CORPSE!!!! EWWWWWWWWW!!! We think we just vomited in our mouths a little bit. Anthony Merino, a 24-year-old lab technician, was arrested Sunday after a security guard saw him having sex with a dead 92-year-old woman in the Holy Name Hospital morgue. His bail has been set at $400,000. Maybe he was an avid fan of Edgar Allen Poe, the tormented genius who, after his death, had some of the most scandalous tales brought on by his literary executer Rufus Griswald, painting the picture of a necrophiliac among other things. Many avid readers believe that his poem written after his wife's death titled Annabel Lee was about his necrophiliac-behaviors. Whether true or not about Poe's obsession with the dead, we can only hope that present day mad man gets some serious help.

This Hallween, let's take the time to remember that many times the ghosts and goublins of the world have nothing on our plain old human-kind which we all share the same genetic makeup with-now THAT is something to be really scared about!
