Secret Regrets...

What is the BIGGEST regret of your life? What ONE thing would you change if you had a second chance?

1. I regret that I didn't meet you before you met her. I know that the experiences you had with her make you the man you are now, but it's because of those experiences that you can't love me as fully as you loved her. As your wife, I love you completely and I know that you love me very much. But I also know that she hardened your heart, and although I'll try my hardest for the rest of our lives, I don't think that part of your heart will ever come back. -- Female, 23

2. I regret not leaving with you when you came to my wedding to stop it. -- Female, 27

3. I regret choosing him because he looked good on paper, when I was so, so in love with you. You and I were best friends who happened to fall in love. When you would touch me, it sent chills down my spine. I never felt that with him. It's been three years, and you still are not going out with anyone, but I married the guy that looked good on paper -- the guy who cheated on me, lied to me and is now divorcing me. I regret that right now, I could be in your arms and in your love, but am not because I chose a different path. I regret that I could not stop loving you, and that you still haunt me every day. If only you would still love me after what I did ... if only you could forgive me ... -- Female, 24

4.I regret friending you on Facebook. Now I see your life without me every time you post a status update. Technology means never having to say goodbye forever. -- Female, 20

5. I regret that you were the perfect man, my lover and my soul mate. Maybe if you weren't so perfect, this tragedy would affect me less. I regret that I am to blame, because if you never drove those 10 miles to come and apologize for something you didn't do, you never would have died that night. I regret that I killed so much potential this world could have used. I love and miss you, baby. I'm sorry. -- Female, 20

6. I regret still thinking about you five years later. I regret seeing you at the mall when I was nine months pregnant and feeling like I had failed you somehow. Most of all I regret dreaming about you at night. It only makes me feel like I am cheating on my husband and son. JUST GET OUT OF MY HEAD. -- Female, 22

7. If I had a second chance to do one thing in my life differently, I would not have taunted my sister for being fat when we were children. Now I'm the fat one and she's the skinny one. Deep down, I think this is God's way of punishing me.
-- Female, 26

8. I regret saying yes when you asked me to marry you. I didn't want to hurt your feelings. After all, you're a poor college student who spent $2,000 on a ring. You say you can't imagine your life without me, well ... I can imagine mine without you. I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner. -- Female, 22

9. I regret telling you I wasn't pregnant when I really was. His name was Drake. He is my angel. -- Female, 23

10. If I could change one thing, I would have gotten on that plane. I would have gone away with you even if it meant losing my job. I would have gone away with the clothes I had on my back because all that would have truly mattered was the fact that I was with you. The loss of a job doesn't compare to the pain I feel right now, each day, knowing that I've lost you. -- Female, 26

11. If I had a second chance to do ONE thing differently in my life, I would have chosen to be with you when you asked me to. I couldn't do it because I was too afraid of what my friends would think. And now, years later, none of them are even in my life anymore, but I still talk to and see you every day. Now that it's way too late to do anything about it, I am desperately jealous of your girlfriend and I can't get over what I almost, but never, had. -- Female, 22

12. If I had a second chance to do one thing differently in my life, I would have been honest with my ex when he asked if I'd met someone else. Because I had, and I wanted you the minute I laid eyes on you, so there was no point in denying it really. As it was, he believed we still had a chance and now he won't speak to me ... And the worst part is ... if I had to choose one of you to have in my life ... it would still be him. -- Female, 22

13. I regret marrying you. I was blinded by the romance and the unexpectedness of our relationship. And then we found out we were pregnant, I felt overwhelmed with love, but fear of what others would say about me being an unwed mother. And you were deploying to Afghanistan. So we rushed. You left. I grew up, you grew mean. Every phone call, you yelled at me, you put me down. When you got back to the States, the boys and I were at the bottom of your priority list. It's been almost two months and you still haven't seen us. I'm glad I can see things so clearly now and I don't have to waste the rest of my life and the boys' lives with tension, and yelling, and fighting. I've found someone else. He has been there for me through everything. He kept me company when all I wanted to do was fall asleep in your arms. He comforted me when you would make me cry after EVERY DAMNED PHONE CALL. He drove me to the hospital when I went into early labor with the boys, and slept on the cold hard hospital floor all night and held my shaking hands the next day until my mother could get there. He visited us often at the hospital, and drove us when we could finally come home two months later. He loves me. He loves the boys. And slowly and surely, he has gained my trust, friendship, and love. I choose him. Your stuff is waiting for you in boxes in the kitchen. Call when you want to come get them. -- Female, 20

14. I would treat her better than I did back then. I'm still completely in love with her and know now that I could treat her like a princess. Because that's what she is to me. And no one will treat you better than I can, Kait. That's a promise. -- Female, 22

15. If I had a second chance, I would go back and tell you exactly how I felt when I felt it. It's too easy for you to brush everything aside now. I wish it were easier to let you know how much you changed me. For the worse. -- Female, 20

16. If I had a second chance, I'd risk more. I've lived a safe, comfortable life. I have a safe, comfortable home in a safe, comfortable town. If I had a second chance, I'd go on that trip, take the job far away, run faster and try harder. -- Female, 29

17. I regret saying I didn't like the ring and I didn't like the way you proposed. It was shallow and stupid of me. I know you did the best you could for me and I was still ungrateful and I've always felt horrible for it. Because now, I wish for nothing more than you to put a ring on my finger and call me your fiancee again. -- Female, age unknown

18. I regret losing my virginity in a car in an empty parking lot. Happy birthday, Will. -- Female, 22

19. I regret that I've never experienced true rip-off-your-clothes, impatient, hot passion in a relationship. I regret that reading "Twilight" is the closest I'll ever get to it, because of how you damaged me emotionally. --Female, 24

20. I regret running from the church the day we were to be married. I regret that you thought I didn't love you enough to spend the rest of my life with you. It wasn't that. I was just afraid that our love wouldn't last and that I'd end up like my mother; divorced and alone, dealing with depression. I regret that this rejection led to your suicide. I will always love you. I know that now. -- Female, 29

George Michael faces jail time after crash conviction

Pop singer George Michael was jailed Tuesday to serve an eight-week sentence after pleading guilty to a charge that he drove while under the influence of drugs.

The charge would normally carry a 12-week sentence, but District Judge John Perkins said he gave Michael credit for his guilty plea and his remorse. He said Michael must serve at least half the sentence.

The case relates to an incident in the early hours of July 4, when Michael crashed his car into the front of a north London shop, damaging the facade. No one was hurt in the accident.

The 10 Best After-Work Snacks

The perfect after-work snack is light, easy, and takes the edge off your hunger without ruining your appetite for dinner. Here are 10 great ideas.

First, decide if you're really hungry. If you haven't eaten since lunchtime, and you're still a couple of hours away from dinner, then a snack is certainly in order. In fact, if you're trying to lose or maintain weight, an after-work snack can cut your appetite just enough to help you control how much eat for dinner.

One of the reasons snacking has a bad rep is that the types of foods we associate with snacking-like chips, candy bars and other convenience foods that are easy to grab and easy to eat-are foods that are high in sugar or fat and low in essential nutrients. Those types of snacks add excess calories with no nutritional benefit. The best snack is a balanced snack that, like a balanced meal, contains mostly protein and "good carbs," that are high in fiber, such as whole grains, legumes and veggies, and just a little fat.

The age-old secret to healthy snacking is to have wholesome foods on hand so you're not tempted to grab junky fast food. Take one of these healthy choices to work with you and keep them in the fridge until it's time to head out. Or, if you live close to work and can get home quickly, have a healthy snack waiting there for you.

Nuts and berries. Trail mixes made with nuts, sunflower or pumpkin seeds and dried fruit are not low in calories, but a little bit (just1/4 cup) won't dent your diet and will go a long way toward satisfying hunger, filling in nutritional gaps, and holding you over until dinnertime.

Edamame. Green soybeans are high in protein in fiber and fun to eat straight from the pod. Boil up a batch on the weekend and portion them out into individual bags to keep in the refrigerator and grab during the week. You can eat edamame cold out of the fridge or heat them slightly in a microwave oven.

Whole-grain crisps or crackers with reduced-fat cheese. A cube or two of cheese is a nibble of calcium you can always use. Look for seeded crackers made with whole-grain rye, wheat, corn or other whole-grains and seeds like sesame and flax. They contain more fiber than ordinary crackers, so they help you feel fuller a little longer.

Celery sticks with bean dip. Crispy, crunchy celery sticks are practically calorie-free, and you'll get lots of fiber and protein from the dip. Tomato salsa made without fat is another food that's virtually free of calories, so don't be afraid to pile it on. For extra spice, dip radish slices.

Sliced lean ham or turkey and lettuce wrap. Wrap very thinly sliced meat in a soft lettuce leaf. For extra flavor with few extra calories, dab with a little mustard or add sliced sun-dried tomatoes.

String cheese sticks. Since you have to peel off bits of strong cheese to get the full effect, it takes a little longer to eat and helps you eat more "mindfully," rather than thoughtlessly gobbling down a snack without any thought to what or how much you're eating. Pair your cheese with apple or pear slices, and consider it your first course for dinner.

Danielle Staub of The Real Housewives of NJ gets Spin-off...

Danielle Staub is working on not one but two new shows. Now that the 'Real Housewives of New Jersey' star has been fired, erm, left the series, she's reportedly working on the hyped spinoff series and a show that would see her hosting ... something.

TMZ caught up with the reality vixen and she spilled the beans on camera.

"I have a new show that I'm starting to tape next week when I get back to New Jersey," Staub said. "And that's one of two shows I'm going to be taping. One is my spinoff, the other one's a hosting show, an over-the-top hosting show."

Staub has been hyping her spinoff series for some time, even before reports confirmed her dismissal -- or voluntary departure -- from the hit Bravo series. The reality star recently revealed details about her projects to HollywoodLife.com.

"I'm doing two projects -- my spinoff and my real show," Staub said. "It's about me and my kids and my questionable sexuality, my music, my daughter's music, my assistants, my executive assistants, my assistant's assistants, the interns, some flipping out scenes, some resolution scenes."

And what of this hosting gig? Who knows, but with Staub involved, we can't even begin to imagine what kind of series it would be. Is she trying to fill Oprah Winfrey's void or go along the lines of Maury Povich and his paternity tests? Time will tell.

Lady Gaga meant 'no disrespect' by wearing meat dress to 2010 VMAs: 'I am not a piece of meat'

Lady Gaga said the controversial "meat" dress she wore at the MTV Video Music Awards was intended to make a statement.

Winning eight prizes at Sunday's ceremony, the glam pop performance artist chose to accept one of her statuettes wearing nothing but a raw, red meat dress with a matching purse, that became one of the most talked about moments of the televised show.

"If we don't stand up for what we believe in and if we don't fight for our rights, pretty soon we're going to have as much rights as the meat on our bones," Lady Gaga, 24, told talk show host Ellen DeGeneres on her TV program broadcast on Monday.

"And, I am not a piece of meat," she added.

Sunday's outfit comes on the heels of a meat bikini Gaga donned for the cover of Vogue Hommes Japan's September issue. It was one of several different costumes the singer wore on Sunday, including one that looked like a large black trash bag.

Animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals said that "wearing a dress made from cuts of dead cows is offensive enough to bring comment."

Lady Gaga told DeGeneres she meant no disrespect to anyone that is vegan or vegetarian, and called herself "the most judgment free human being on the earth."

Singer Cher, whom Gaga asked to hold her meat purse while accepting her award on stage, defended the 24-year old songbird.

In a series of several tweets regarding the meat dress, Cher wrote on Monday that as an "art piece it was astonishing!" and that the meat purse was "genius."

Continuing on Twitter, Cher added: "modern art elicits discussion, introspection & conflict! Everyone's talking about it! BINGO!"

Lady Gaga's eccentric outfits, string of hit records like "Bad Romance" and "Paparazzi" and startling live stunts including setting her piano on fire, have made her a worldwide pop culture phenomenon over the past two years with more than 10 million album sales.
