Jana Bell is one of the funniest women on Facebook. Her one-liners are so hilarious that we couldn't help soliciting her thoughts on the best Halloween costumes for 2010. We knew they'd be funny, but didn't know they'd be this SMART!

You can say a lot of things about Jackson. One thing you can't say is that there isn't any good food. Local burger joints and their patrons will almost come to blows over who's got the best beef and buns. Here are our favorites.

As the season’s end draws near, I am obsessed with all things French. My mind seems to be summering in Paris as I listen to Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg’s Je T’aime Moi Non Plus, watch And God Created Woman with Brigitte Bardot, sip on a flute of Veuve, and crave mussels and frites.

Fall is almost here, and for many Mississippi girls that means going through RUSH! Sorority recruitment is a whirlwind experience filled with lots of fun, but it can also be an emotional roller coaster. My Scoop put together a little guide to make recruitment smooth sailing.

On a recent Saturday morning news segment, I witnessed the Coupon Mom leave a grocery store with over $150 worth of items but paying only $0.87. She accomplished all of this without being arrested! Impressive. But how?

I felt fortunate back then to be a part of what I considered the only teenage generation in history with a truly timeless style. I envisioned a future where my BFF-teenage daughter might point to an old high school photo of me and ask if I still had that baggy lace-splotched blazer and stone washed jeans.

For me, the most essential of the warm weather "neccessories" is, by and large, the pedicure. By mid-spring I’m totally turned off by toe cleavage and ready to let my little guys go commando in something strappy. So last week, it was time.

This was a problem since I was/am in a fight with Vernonika, the Russian manicurist.

In just a generation or two, we've become accustomed to eating food that has never sprouted roots in local soil. The same goes for film. The Crossroads Film Festival is readying to help My Scoop readers (and their kids) "eat" local films.
