Here's WomensHealth.com's list of the Top 10 things women should understand about men:
1. I don't want to talk about it. I want to figure it out.
2. When you ask me what's on my mind and I say "nothing," I really mean nothing.
3. Brazilian wax. Me like.
4. I know when you're faking it.
5. Would it kill you to wear something with pockets? I don't want to carry around your lipstick and license all night.
6. I thoroughly enjoy watching large men stand in a ring and beat the tattoos off each other. Fighting with you? Not so down with that.
7. I worry about our finances about 30 times a day - so no need to keep reminding me.
8. Don't expect me to sing along with you in the car. It's not, um, manly. (You won't find me abiding by this rule!)
9. It's totally refreshing when you can laugh at yourself. It also means that you're not laughing at me.
10. I like it when other guys check you out, but not the other way around. And, yes, this is a double standard.

The fastest film to $100 million, $200 million and $300 million is now the fastest film to $400 million. By a lot. 18 days - that’s all it took for The Dark Knight to break $400 million at the box-office. The former record holder – Shrek 2 – hit $400 million in 43 days.

Speaking of The Dark Knight...
One of its stars, Morgan Freeman spent over four hours in surgery last night to reconnect nerves and basically put him back together after a rollover car accident on Sunday. His rep tells me “He is in good spirits and is visiting with family members.”

Rumors have been circling that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt used in vitro fertilization to have their new twins, but as the rest of the family posed for pictures at their recent photo shoot, Angelina shot down those rumors, “We would have been happy to discuss it, but we have been fortunate never to have had fertility problems." By the way, Angelina says she and Brad had no problems getting the other kids ready for the new babies. They made them watch a Dora the Explorer episode about twins.

TV has been very, VERY good to Charlie Sheen and William Petersen – TV’s highest paid actors. Sheen brings home the bacon in the form of $20 million per year and $825,000 an episode for Two & a Half Men. Yes, that’s on TOP of the $20 mil a year. CSI star William Petersen makes $600,000 an episode. Oprah, obviously, makes the most of any TV celebrity with combined earnings of $385 million in the last year.

Speaking of Charlie Sheen (and how often does THAT happen?)...
Charlie Sheen won’t nickel and dime you – he’ll just nickel you. Recently a doctor in LA immunized Charlie’s kids even though Charlie didn’t want him to. The doctor said he’d treat the kids with whatever they need, whenever they need it. Charlie replied by not paying the $380 bill, until yesterday when he messengered $380 worth of nickels to the doctor’s office. I did the math for ya. That’s 7,600 nickels weighing just under 84 pounds.

Either American Idol isn't very popular in Puerto Rico, or the island just doesn't have much singing talent. Only about 300 hopefuls showed up to an Idol audition in San Juan over the weekend - a much smaller crowd than the thousands who usually attend the casting calls in the U.S. mainland.

Briefly:
STAR Artist Sheryl Crow will introduce an eco-friendly clothing line later this year. The threads, which will be sold under the name Bootheel Trading Company by Sheryl Crow, will range in price from $35 to $60.

The Jonas Brothers have officially confirmed they're headed to the Disney Channel for their very own show. Production starts in September.
