Galicia Malone wasn't going to let a little thing like child birth get in the way of voting yesterday. The 21-year old from Chicago started feeling pains at 3am Tuesday, and by the time she got to her precinct, labor pains were five minutes apart. She cast her vote, then headed straight to the hospital. Her vote went to Barack Obama... why? "I grew up on Sesame Street and PBS," she said. "He (Romney) wants to cut that. What will my daughter grow up on?"
On another election note: A Michigan man submitted his ballot, and then collapsed. No heartbeat and he stopped breathing. A man who rushed to his aid declared him dead but started CPR anyway. After a few minutes, the guy came back to life... his first question: "Did I vote?"
One more election nugget: 22% of us announced who we voted for on Facebook and Twitter. We just can't keep anything to ourselves anymore, can we?
Porn....Food Porn.
If your goal is to keep fitting into your skinny jeans, then stop watching porn...food porn! Research found looking at delicious food, like cake and steak, will make you want to eat it! Crazy, huh? And if you want to avoid food porn, avoid Pinterest. The social site generates 50% more repins than fashion and style photos.

That's Beverly Mitchell of '7th Heaven' fame and she's preggers. It'll be her first little baby. The 31-year-old, who is also a country music singer, said she first noticed something different happening with her body four months ago when she suddenly developed a keen sense of smell, which is common during pregnancy. "My sense of smell was off the charts, to the point where I could smell a kid's dirty diaper from the other side of a restaurant," Mitchell told People. After taking nearly 10 different pregnancy tests, the news finally sunk in that she was expecting.
