Meghan Markle says she felt objectified when she was a briefcase girl on Howie Mandel's game show, ''Deal or No Deal''. Newsweek magazine quotes her as saying, "Like I said, I was thankful for the job but not for how it made me feel which was not smart. And by the way, I was surrounded by smart women on that stage with me, but that wasn't the focus of why we were there, and I would end up leaving with this pit in my stomach, knowing that I was so much more than what was being objectified on the stage. I didn't like feeling forced to be all looks and little substance. And that's how it felt for me at the time being reduced to this specific archetype."

And this is like week three of the book, right? And I mean, honestly, I'm not gonna lie, I was not reading any headlines anywhere. And suddenly, all of these headlines pop up and there's all of this attention on my book. So I am a person that tends to take a negative and turn it into a positive, and so my ultimate comment is: "Thank you." I mean, it's like really hard to get attention on a book that's been out for a couple of weeks and now it's week two, second week on the New York Times bestsellers list. It's like: "Thank you," because I think that people that read the book will have a very different take on the book.'

A new study by Japan's Kyoto University reveals that female dogs judge you when you make a mistake. Researchers had dogs watch people successfully open containers and then fail to open them. Male dogs didn't judge, but researchers noticed female dogs were judging and identifying incompetence.

Dear Fonseca
One of my best lifelong friends recently got divorced. Now that he's single he's been on a tear. My wife doesn't like that he's constantly out partying and dating again. She's told me that I can't hang with him because he is a bad influence. I love my wife, but also love my friend. I don't think I should be treated like a kid. She is asking me to give up my friendship. I feel like I have to choose between her and my friend. Who would you choose if you were me? Does my wife have the right to hint at this kind of ultimatum?
