The Globe claims Russell Crowe is allegedly considering liposuction because of his ballooning weight. A source tells the magazine, “He’s showing off his ripped biceps, but the big belly has been hanging on like an unwanted friend and no amount of exercise or weight training will get rid of it. Russell’s still more chunk than hunk and that’s got to be a turnoff for his girlfriend, Britney since she’s so fit. He’s got up and down in weight, so his only permanent solution is liposuction. It’s going to take some CGI magic to erase that gut.”

Dear Fonseca
The girls and I at work got into a great discussion yesterday about men and holiday gifts. Half of the women say, the more original a gift, the more a man loves you because of the effort he put in to finding it. When it comes to gift-giving, they say effort equates to how much a man loves you? They believe a man that doesn't put in any effort is taking a woman for granted. The other women in the office don't agree with that and say some men are just poor gift-givers. Do you agree with this?
