Howard Bach Featured in Men’s Health
I just received my July/August 2008 issue of Men’s Health in the mail this morning. I flipped through it quickly as usual, but something caught my eye that made me do a double take.

JCPenney Speed Dressing Commercial
Turns out this “Speed Dressing” commercial for JCPenney is a fake, and the clothing retailer isn’t happy about it.

Aki Hoshino
It’s hard to believe that the “Angel of Japan” – Aki Hoshino is 31-years-old. With her baby face like looks, you wouldn’t think she’s a year over 18.
