I've been counting down the days until "Liberace: Behind The Candelabra" premieres on HBO (Sunday, May 26, at 9 PM if you missed the promos). In the meantime, I've been on rhinestone overload, looking up videos of the patron saint of all things glitzy. My favorite find, so...

(4) Comments | Posted May 18, 2013 | 8:45 AM

In this classic scene from "30 Rock," Liz Lemon puts her relationship to the ultimate test: IKEA. We find that the scene isn't so far from the truth. We've seen those fights. And maybe even have been part of those fights.

Can't sleep at night? Yes, we can blame terrible news events, worries about the economy, the mistake of Googling your "weird headache," the pet that drapes its body over your head or your loudly snoring significant other. And then there's the color of your boudoir. It's probably the last thing...
