Global 2011: Men Are Quicker to Drop the L-Bomb
Image via WikipediaA couple of months ago I was chatting with a friend of mine about her new boyfriend, who she was – and still is – so blatantly madly in love with. The difference between then and now is that back then she refused to even utter those three little words and just tell him, "I love you."
I couldn't understand why she was waiting to tell him something she so obviously felt, but every time I asked, she'd just say, "I'm waiting for him to say it first." And sure enough, a few weeks later, he professed his love. Granted, it was at 1 AM at a dive bar on the upper east side, but that doesn't make it any less special.
To be honest, I was a little surprised that he was the first to break, being that most of the guys I know would never say "I love you" first... or so I thought. A new study in the journal of Personality and Social Psychology is changing everything I ever thought I knew about boys. On average, men considered saying "I love you" 42 days before women did.

Global 2011: 'Harry Potter' - Celebrating the End of a Legendary Movie Franchise
Image via WikipediaThe legendary "Harry Potter" franchise releases its final movie after almost one decade of capturing the interest and imagination of people around the world. Producing eight successful movies in a span of 10 years is quite an accomplishment. From the iconic performances that catapulted Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter), Emma Watson (Hermione Granger), Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley), and many other British talents into international stardom to the very long list of filmmaking talents who received varying accolades for their works, the "Harry Potter" movie franchise has much to leave for film historians to chronicle.
The "Harry Potter" movies employed over 2,000 filmmaking talents on and off screen. So far, it has already reaped more than $6.3 billion in worldwide earnings. It also continues to rake in more financial rewards through the home movie market, a number of "Harry Potter" merchandise items, its video game offerings, and many other money-making endeavors.
Global 2011: Daniel Craig Secretly Weds Oscar Winning Actress Rachel Weisz
Image via WikipediaDaniel Craig and Oscar winning actress Rachel Weisz have surprised the world by getting married. Perhaps this tying of another Hollywood star knot is not too surprising as Craig and Weisz will be hitting the big screen as a married couple in the film "Dream House." The surprise may be legitimate in light of the fact that when Weisz broke it off with her former boyfriend, director Darren Aronofsky, in November of 2010, she denied being involved with the latest and greatest James Bond.Daniel Craig is certainly well known around the world as 007 and for memorable performances in films ranging from "Infamous" to "Defiance." The new Mrs. Craig is also a familiar face to audiences courtesy of parts in blockbusters like "The Mummy" and "Fred Claus." Less familiar to many of those moviegoers, perhaps, is Weisz's Academy Award winning performance in "The Constant Gardener." A great movie that also features a great performance by Ralph Fiennes so see if when you get the chance.
The wedding ceremony was secretive and sparsely attended. Reports indicate that the marriage took place in the presence of just four witnesses that included Craig's teenage daughter and Weisz's four year old son. That son's father is Weisz's ex, Aronofsky.
