Q: On an episode of American Idol,They showed the simpsons auditioning Simon Cowell.Simon Cowell was singing "Don't you wish you boyfriend was hot like me".Ryan Seacrest said "He's been waiting to do that song for months".I didn't get why he would be waiting to do that song for months.I was wondering in which episode of which season of the simpsons this extract of Simon Cowell came.
*Thanks*

Hey it's called a joke. Get it.

Q: My doctor perscrived Benzaclin Gel for my acne today. I just wanted to know if I'm applying it correctly:

I wash my face twice a day
Apply the gel
Apply lotion afterwards
Apply suncream afterwards..

Is that correct?

And can anyone tell me about their previous experiences with it? Is it good, bad, etc?

You're doing everything right. Just make sure the face wash is either something the doctor prescribed to you...either that or something like cetaphil or neutrogena healthyskin.

As goes for the lotion, if your doctor didn't suggest one, use a cetaphil brand moisturizer.

Ive been using benzaclin for like a year and it hasn't done anything for my skin.

Q: im writing a play and need to know...
how can i find out the color to these names? i dont know what they look like:

strawberry blonde
platinum blonde
beach blonde
peroxide blonde

and does anyone know any additional ones?

Dirty blonde.

Q: ok, so, for easter we make a ton ton ton of eggs. & we end up throwing most of them out, because they like sit in the refrigerator for so long. does anyone know, that like if i wanted to give it to the poor like for food, downtown, would they want them, or no? or any other ideas what i could do with the eggs?

Make egg salad.

Q: why is this camera so cheap?

http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=5156026

Because it isn't a good quality camera. It's only a 3.0 megapixel, which means the pictures aren't going to be sharp or clear. And it doesn't zoom much at all.

Q: i want to use fake eyelashes, the individual ones. if i use them how long about should they stay on for.. and will the effect my real eyelashes in anyway, like rip em outt? remember they're individual

The individual ones are a hassle. Using regular ones with a good adhesive will stay on until you get them wet. Cheaper ones will fall off constantly, and that's humiliatingly tacky.

If you get the individual lashes professionally adhered, they'll stay on for alot longer and look more natural.

Personally, for long thick lashes I use 3 coats of Maybelline XXL intense lashes. Definitly look into getting it, I feel naked without it.

Q: whats so great about being able to fit a whole fist in your mouth

Because guys are perverted and think that if a girl can fit her fist in her mouth, than she can fit a huge dick in her mouth too.

And also because it's really amusing watching someone nearly break their jaw trying to jam their fist in their mouth.

Either way, don't do it.

Q: This is a REALLY wierd question but -- I can't stop thinking about it, lmfao.
In school, in a boys public bathroom, are the urinals out in the open? Or do they have walls to seperate them. Because couldn't boys make fun of other boys' penis' size?
Haha, i'm just curious :)

They're out in the open, and nobody makes fun of each other's penis size because it's socially unacceptable to look down at another dude's penis. Don't you know bathroom/locker room etiquette!?

Q: the skin on my armpit is darker than my normal skin color, so when i shave it theres still a dark spot there. how do i get rid of it so that my underarm skin is the same tone as the rest of my skin?

It's from shaving, and mainly everyone has it. Waxing or using hair removal cream helps.

Q: I need to find hobbies my boyfriend and I could do every week. Any ideas? :)

Take pictures of each other or something.

Q: I'm looking for some new books to read. I go through like a book a week, and I'm running out of books. I'm 15/F. I like fantasy/romance type books. Does anybody have any suggestion for any books/authors that are good?

Twilight. Fits the fantasy/romance category perfectly.

And the Dangerous Angels series by god knows what her name is....I forget and i'm too lazy to search google, but you can do that yourself.

Q: I'm 21/F. I'm getting married in two months, and I love my fiance very much, but I am so nervous. I'm having second thoughts about the wedding, and I feel incredibly guilty, and horrible. I know he's not at all nevous. I want to talk to my fiance, but I'm afraid he'll be mad or think I don't love him, and I don't want that. I really do want to be his wife, I guess I'm just scared. Is it normal to feel this way? Or am I being a horrible fiance.

Totally normal. Happens to everyone.

Q: ok this is reallyyy embarecing..i have like stretch marks on my breasts and thighs. is this normal? and will or when they go away? i hateee them sooo much.

It's normal. When you grow into a more "womanly" figure your skin sometimes stretches too fast and causes the stretchmarks. It's better to get them on your breasts and thighs than on your stomach or hips or something, yuck. It just means your boobs are getting bigger and your thighs are becoming more curvy.

They'll fade eventually. People say to use cocoa butter but it doesn't really work. There are treatments a dermatologist can do, but honestly they'll fade.

Q: ok how come degrassi the next generation isn't coming on the N tonite? i thought there was a
new episode every night.

They take breaks in between seasons.

Q: what are some tips for tanning?

tanning outside, not fake-baking.

Baby oil, a few drops of iodine, a bikini, and 35 minutes is all it takes.

Q: i know you guys don't like myspace questions but... is there any way to tell if someone has read your coment or not? i know there's a way to tell if someone has read a message, but what about comments?

Not unless they require their comments to be approved. If that's the case, check your sent mail box and it should say if they approved the comment or not.

Q: I keep looking at the clock when its 9:11! its so weird. like AM or PM, like.. i dont usually look for the time that often but like its been a pattern for a lot of years.. even before like the 9/11 twin towers thing happened, and i was little. (13/f) well when i was old enough to tell time ofcourse. why do you suppose this happens? or is it just a freaky coincidence?

It means Osama Bin Laden has taken over your soul.

Nah, it's just because you notice that time more than the others, so if you glance at a clock and see it, you're gonna notice it more than you would if it was like 2:30 or something.

Hard to explain, but yaknow.

Q: if i were to visit the bronx, in new york, what would i be able to taste, touch, and small, if i were standing on the street? im talking about the real rough part. thanks.

I once got lost in the bronx. It was frightening, thankfully I was in a car with other people.

It smells like raw sewage. And you wouldn't be able to touch anything because it's dirty as hell.

I'm talking about the rough part though, some sections of it aren't bad at all.

Q: Okay, so, a lot of girls like to put up magazine pages on their walls that have like cute clothes and stuff like that and I wanted to do that but I'm not sure what to put them up with. I tried those little tacks that have the big circle top but it looks really tacky (lol pun), and so do thumbtacks. I can't do glue or tape or sticky tack because my wall has those little bumpy things on it. So I was wondering if anyone could tell me how I can get these magazine pages on my wall so that it looks good and everything.

Thanks so much!

If you can't use tacks, sticky tack, glue, or tape I don't know what else there is to use.

You could paint your wall and stick the pages on while the paint is wet. Or get clear tacks. Or glue or tape the pages to a posterboard and hang it on your wall. Or use a corkboard. Whatevv.
