We really do hope that the stigma behind going to a therapist will disappear someday, because it's something that is extremely beneficial — and nobody should ever be embarrassed by it!

Seriously. You go to a doctor for any old thing, but when it comes to your mental health, that's when it's frowned upon?? Give us a break! That's why we're really glad to hear that Elijah Wood saw someone for the issues he was having!

We're not happy about the issues, just that he wasn't 'too proud' to seek help!

Apparently it all stemmed from

It's weird to us that we didn't really hear about protests over Mike Tyson being in The Hangover movies, but we're hearing people go nuts over his upcoming Law & Order: SVU role!

Not saying they shouldn't be protesting, just maybe they should've protested both — especially when they're doing it for his energy drink!!

If you don't recall for some reason, Mike Tyson is a convicted rapist.

It's great to know that even NBA stars are as bad at karaoke as everyone else!!

One lucky karaoke fan got a HUGE surprise when she was pulled onto stage while LeBron James and Dwyane Wade were singing karaoke!

They ended up serenading the woman and eventually fighting over her!

A survey of more than 200 registered dietitians, conducted by Pollock Communications, a health and wellness communications firm based in New York City, revealed five top diet and lifestyle trends that will “make news and be on consumers’ minds” in 2013.

Trend 1: Natural and simple meals with few ingredients are in. Low-fat and low-carb are out.

The focus is whole foods, fewer preservatives and processed foods. Although some low fat and low carb products are fine, read the label, as they may contain excessive sugar, salt and fat.

Trend 2: To lose weight or adapt a healthier lifestyle, more consumers will look to the wheat belly/gluten free approach, as well as commercial diet programs.

A Gluten free diet can really benefit those with specific medical conditions, such as celiac disease. Some choose to adapt the diet without a specific medical condition. The gluten-free approach doesn’t really benefit the general population. If anything a gluten free diet may be too limited and restrictive and the person without allergies will get frustrated. The gluten free diet is designed for individuals with celiac disease or gluten intolerance.

Regarding commercial diet programs, I encourage people to do what it takes for them to be successful with weight loss and health goals. Commercial programs provide education, accountability and support from others going through the same thing. Individuals motivate one another and since you pay for the program you are more likely to show up and follow it.

Chicago's bank account is looking pretty nice after only 5 months!

In early August, they passed new ticketing laws for low-level possession of marijuana. We guess we should be happy that these folks aren't being arrested, but at what point do you realize that taxing legal weed would bring in way more money than punishing people?

They've issued about 400 citations and have given themselves about $98,000 dollars from citizens in the process. The idea behind it is that

Chris Kluwe, who we've talked about around these parts before, seemingly is constantly defending his stance in favor of gay rights. He supports it, because he KNOWS there are gay players out there, and that they would benefit from a better environment!

He was even on the Colbert Report, when this happened:

SC: “Football players are a thousand miles from gay.”

Kluwe responed: “Um, you’d be surprised.”

And guess what? He isn't the only one who knows that.

Well, this is one way to make people healthier, we suppose.

Even though we don't really agree with it!

If you're overweight and British, you might be seeing your healthcare benefits cut if you don’t complete a doctor-prescribed exercise regimen.
