Cyber Monday, the first Monday after Thanksgiving, is when bargain-hungry shoppers boot up their computers and go surfing for deals. Many of America's biggest retailers are participating, including Kohl's, Best Buy and Victoria's Secret. So are many smaller, chic boutiques. From laptops to lingerie, they're offering deals that will make venturing out to a crowded mall even less desirable.

 1. Beijing Film Academy.

There is no doubt that Beijing Film Academy is just like a concentration camp of beauties. No one really knows how many beauties actually go to this school to learn professional skills.

A Korean artist named Sung Yeonju has an impressive display of dresses she’s made entirely out of food.

The series, appropriately titled ‘Wearable Foods,’ is a magnificent portrayal of food in its raw state (with the exception of the fried egg dress). So far she has used ingredients like radishes and lotus roots to create one-of-a-kind dresses that will blow anyone away. These are definitely some of the coolest photographs I’ve seen of food transformed into fashion pieces.

2010 is shaping up to be a strong year at the movies with the box office on pace to be the highest ever. But there have still been plenty of bombs. To compile our list of the biggest turkeys of 2010, we compared global box office with each film's estimated budget to come up with a percentage of the budget each film earned back. They are ranked from the worst up.

Hollywood has always presented sexual power as the ruthless province of the vixen, the femme fatale, the villainess. The word "vamp" was even coined after a silent-screen actress, Theda Bara, who played a vile seductress in the film "A Fool There Was" (1915), merrily leading a man to ruin with her wicked wiles (the film was based on Rudyard Kipling's poem "The Vampire," hence the nickname). Each decade has seen new versions of the evil woman, fashionably updated for the times, but always with a mind like a guillotine and a heart like an Egyptian tomb (complete with an insurmountable curse/plague that will crush you like an avalanche of orcas if you dare attempt to open it to love). Fortunately, flying in the face of this, along the way in Hollywood's history there have been exceptions to the vamp rule: sexually vibrant gals who don't use their power to manipulate and destroy, but liberate and enjoy (call them "femme vitales" instead of femme fatales, or vital females as opposed to fatal ones). They are beautiful, they are hot, they are far from being prudes, and they're forces of good. So, in honor of the release of "Burlesque," a musical drama about a good girl gone sexy in a burlesque show, we've compiled a list of good-girl characters from the movies who maintain the hotness in their own inimitable ways, without having to hurt a soul. Help us pay tribute to these winning, warm and wanton women of the big screen.

With a little planning, forethought and some realism about what is needed for the trip, every traveler can take steps to make the travel gauntlet less harrowing, and their trip a lot more fun.

So You Just Bought a New Computer

Perhaps you spent hours combing through specs and reviews of various computers and finally ordered, or you walked in to your local PC store and bought that new computer off the shelf. Now after driving to the store or waiting for the delivery guy to show up at your house, you finally cut the packing tape and open the box of your new laptop/desktop computer. You shove the plastic bags and paper back into the cardboard box, plug it all in, and press the power button. Now you wait as the software routine created by the manufacturer progresses across the screen loading all that extra software on to your new computer. Some people will tell you forget the pre-loaded operating system, grab an installation CD of your favorite Windows version or Linux distro and load a fresh, clean install of the operation system. For some this is an option. But why? You just spent a decent amount of cash for a new computer. Let me show you some simple tools to de-clutter that pre-loaded software and make that new computer fresh & clean. I will also suggest the best tools and utilities every computer should have installed from day 1.

Lady Gaga
Gaga is on top, holding even more recent Guinness Records than most. As of the 2011 edition of the Guinness Record Book (released just this September), Gaga is the most-searched-for woman on the internet, claiming the title from its 2010 holder, Sarah Palin.
Gaga's "Bad Romance" holds the record for the single that spent the most weeks on the UK pop charts: 154 in total. She's the first recording artist to release an album that scored four number-one hits on the Billboard pop charts. And finally, Guinness gave her a nod for being the first to have 1 billion people view her videos online. Whew!
