We here at Scanner are in no way medical professionals. So why in the world would we seek medical advice from others who are? Instead, we like to ask our friends what's up. That's right, we asked a boy who has no medical training whatsoever to break down female birth control for us, b...

Thrilla in vanilla: Michael Jackson's press conference announcing some London shows he'll soon cancel was not exactly a thriller. See the video Scanner Emily shared yesterday. Dr. Sanjay Gupta has decided to turn down a job in the Obama Administration. Hero of the day: the nurse who bought a...

  We were rather disturbed by how many of you claimed to be in a sexless marriage after Scanner Emily's post yesterday. Moreover, we were worried you all are going to end up miserable and/or divorced, if this survey conducted by a U.K. wedding site is to be believed... 3,000 Britons were qu...

  Burt Reynolds, Dan Aykroyd, Donald Trump, Gene Simmons, Jerry Seinfeld, Leslie Nielsen, Peter Sellers and Steve Martin have all appeared on the cover of Playboy. So which bearded (!!!) gentleman will be Playboy's next play boy? Seth Rogen: We'd totally do him. And so we will absolutel...

  Poor Mel Gibson. He just can't seem to do anything right these days, especially when it comes to his facial hair. First there was this. Then this. But neither is quite as offensive as Gibson's latest, um, growth. Gibson claims this "beard" is for a super-secret project he...

What ever could we be talking about? Only the best idea we've seen yet for a Valentine's Day present. We've seen our share of craptastic Valentine's Day presents in the last couple of weeks (and a few cool things) but the customized erotic novels might be our favorite. How does it wo...
