Hey iMaggers!

Fantasy football season is just around the corner! You ready to play!? Ok, secret confession: I don’t fully understand football nor have I ever participated in this “Fantasy Football” thing. However, I am an active participant in many of the events revolving around football. You know, going out with friends to take in a game, feigning competitiveness with strangers at the bar, or even just a Sunday gathering with family and food!

But as all my guy friends compete over top picks, study stats, make projections for the season and bond over drafting their fantasy teams — it got me thinking — us ladies are missing out. Perhaps, fantasy football is not exactly our thing, but there has to be a game for gals that combines competitiveness and imagination the way drafting players does for dudes. “Fantasy Dating”: the female version of Fantasy Football! Instead of drafting the most skilled and highly ranked football players (not so exciting), ladies should pick their favorite celebs to go on a hot and steamy date with! I called it "Fantasy Dating"! Sounds like a pretty good deal huh?

Take the charming and charismatic qualities you look for in a potential real date and what you know about a certain actor then take your pick! From courageous Jason Bourne to the hysterical Bruno, I am sure this draft pick will score you a touchdown in the dating game. Take your pick a' la fantasy dating style of 5 from the 10 below.

Johnny Depp — The perfect combination of smoldering sexiness and sensitivity. He’s introspective, intriguing and seemingly unimpressed by his own fame. Depp is a family man on top of being blessed with amazing bone structure, a great head of hair and a style all on his own. Who wouldn’t want to date Jack Sparrow or the current day John Dillinger?!

Steve Carell — He’s the perfect funnyman to have running around The Office and he can even sing like Dan In Real Life – Now, there aren’t many women that wouldn’t want this 40 Year Old Virgin hangin’ around … he can make any dinner date end in an LOL.

Brad Pitt — From Thelma and Louise to Benjamin Button, this dreamy eyed boy has been at the top of women’s lists for years and nothing has changed! Not only are his looks to die for, but he wins father of the year and proves that chivalry ain’t dead. This daddy can’t wait to keep adding to the fam … he will even hold the door for you!

Robert Pattinson — Be.a.ut.iful. He’s possibly Hollywood’s next golden boy. Between the accent and unruly hair, and the James Dean qualities – he is making woman from 9 to 90 years old get butterflies. He’s deep and introspective, and has a certain smoldering intensity for someone who's only 23. Only time will tell if he’s a fad or here to stay — but in the meantime, enjoy ladies!

George Clooney — The man only gets better with age. Honestly, how many times can he be named “The Sexiest Man Alive?” Between the salt and pepper locks and the perfect grin, you would be hard pressed to find a woman who wouldn’t want a date with him! He has a sprawling estate in Italy and drives a motorcycle!

Shia LaBeouf — He’s got boyish good looks and a somewhat of a “I don’t give a damn attitude.” So he’s had some minor run-ins with the law … it's bad boy attitude. He’s adorable, talented (who didn’t love Disturbia?!) and he’s got a great name. This kid could be the next big thing (and maybe) your next date?

Bradley Cooper — Why are we all only taking notice of him now? He has a chiseled jaw line, hair that falls in all the right places, and one hit movie after the other. He’s the perfect combo of rugged, endearing, sensitive and funny. Ladies — who wouldn’t want to hang out with this Hangover hunk?

Christian Bale — Little Women, Batman, The Terminator, Public Enemies – The man has a body that just won’t quit. He is the epitome of a manly man with rugged good looks and chiseled muscles, but also has a lurking sensitivity. Ok, so he’s rumored to have a few anger issues … whatever, the guy is H-O-T.

Matt Damon — How can you not love Will Hunting?! Most of us have been crushing on him since the late '90s … I mean he’s smart (Harvard dropout), adorable (that smile), a family man (two precious kids) and best friends with Ben, Brad, and George (hello Oceans 11)!

Ashton Kutcher — He’s dynamic, engaging, into older women and doesn’t take himself too seriously. He’s got business smarts – (Punk’d). He can be solely proud of Twitter’s popularity. Who can deny him; he’s gorg??

In just this past year, I’ve been in 4 weddings. Now, don’t get me wrong there’s nothing more fun than wearing a nice dress and getting my hair and make-up done in celebration of my BFF’s big day. But it's hard to choose a hairstyle that will look good and last for nine hours! From the walk down the aisle to dancing my heart out and boogying down at the reception, the right ‘do is key.  I need one that reflects my fun personality, pleases the bride, and lasts throughout the day.  My cousin’s wedding is in t minus two days and I am lost!!

SO, I caught up with hair honcho Farah Reid, the Director of Education at Blow, The NY Blow Dry Bar and she sent me a few ideas for my ‘do!

The Dancing Queen

Ready to party? Then a very well secured messy twist is the way to go! Scrunch Blow's Beach Blow into the hair while upside down.  Section out one inch around the face.  Take the rest of the hair and secure it into a pony tail.  Wrap the pony loosely around and pin it securely with three pins.  Scrunch extra Beach Blow in the bun for added texture. Next, bring the left out fronts section back while spraying a little hairspray to secure it in place.  Pin any extra wayward hairs.

The Humble Heartbreaker

This is your friends day and you have no plans to leave her side! Dancing is your last priority so a looser 'do is a definite option for you. This is a low slung side chignon with waves.  It says pretty, but don't touch! Part the hair and curl with a one inch curling iron.  Brush out and pull to the side and secure with a pony tail.  Pin hair up and around the pony tail.

Looking for Love

Are you the flirty bridesmaid looking for a boy to dance with? This style's soft waves is ultra sexy and sure to show off your best features. They will be touchable, soft and bouncy.  Very feminine! This look can be worn half up or all down. Start with parting your hair a desired part.  Take vertical sections and curl the hair with a 1 1/4 curling iron in spirals. There should be around 8 in all.  Let sit for 10 minutes, the finger rake the curls apart.  You can put the front up or leave it down.  Spray just a little hairspray to keep the fly aways from coming!

Dresses Your Maids Will LOVE!

I love gossip magazines. I have no shame in following Lindsay Lohan's energy drink addiction or getting the juicy deets of Brad's secret meeting with Jen while someone with more sophisticated tastes reads The Economist next to me on the train. They can judge. I'm ok with that.

But I'm starting to get a little peeved that the last few cover stories have been about Jon & Kate Gosselin. I don't watch the show, and I really don't care for her haircut. A mullet is like two decades out of style ... so why would she think this oddly similar chop job would be a good idea? (For a great work distraction, check out this slideshow of other stars with the haircut.)

My frustration with their story is starting to make me rethink my reading material... Have we learned nothing from Newlyweds? When you let a camera crew into your home to document every waking minute, you will most likely wind up divorced and dating John Mayer. (Kate already has the "mom jeans".)

Aside from the fact that The Gosselins pretty much hate each other to begin with, they're dealing with an alleged affair, potential hanky-panky with the body guard, and 8 kids. But if they want to save their marriage (and their TV show), Dr. Laura Grashow has some advice for celeb gossip's couple du jour.

They need to sit back and think about if they want to stay together and make this marriage work. If these rumors of Jon coming home with someone early in the am are true, then Jon needs to take responsibility for what he has done and come clean to Kate. If they decide they want to take this time and find their relationship again, Jon needs to help her rebuild her trust and I would suggest some counseling. They are lacking in negotiating skills and communication skills. Go back to the basics and start over! Fight fair and listen to each other. If you look at them, this is not so typical - any marriage with children stresses the marriage because it's hard to find time to be acquainted and attracted to each other. They have become work partners and they need to compromise a sort of supportive parenting approach rather than one dominating the other. Prioritize your family and relationship over your TV show.

The rest of us may not have the same issues, but we can certainly learn a thing or two about prioritizing and getting through the ups and downs in relationships. According to Dr. Grashow, couples should follow these three tips.

1.      Prioritize your marriage over family. You have got to find time with your busy schedules to be together and have some fun. Ask another family member to watch the kids. Let it all go one night a week and you will have fun.

2.      Need Counseling? Do it! Learn how to fight fair and communicate with each other. Some couples work it out all on their own, join a workshop or get a counselor. No matter what you do, just remember it's hard work and you can do it.

3.      Hang In There! Remember as the kids get older the stress will get easier and that's not only a time for them, but a time for you to get to know each other and grow old together. Without all that stress a lot can change.

Now if only we could just find Kate a new hairstylist ...
