Amazing, Frightening Happy Meal Project
You probably knew Happy Meals aren't good for you, but who knew they'd look the same after six months sitting out on a coffee table? Sally Davies bought a Happy Meal back in April, left it on her coffee table, and took pictures of it every day. Six months later, it looked...well, pretty much the way it did on Day 1.

He also claims Courteney was the one who insisted they try separating right after their 11th wedding anniversary back in June ... after she told David that she was 'tired of being your mother.'"

"I really don't know what to say. I always felt like his quirky personality perfectly played off her uptight Monica-ishness," writes Viceland Today. Well, at least there's good news about Ross--David Schwimmer, rather, secretly married British photographer Zoe Buckman, says EW.com. In June! "Wonder what's going to break about Jennifer Aniston and Lisa Kudrow?" says I'm Not Obsessed.
