Sleazy Michael Douglas Returns in 'A Solitary Man'

Required viewing from the week in movies.

A Solitary ManThere is one way -- and one way only -- that we like Michael Douglas: straight-up sleazy. Whether as "Wall Street"'s back-stabbing Gordon Gekko or the sex-crazed cads from "Basic Instinct" and "Fatal Attraction," Douglas is at his best when he's playing jerks with loose morals. "A Solitary Man" is a return to form for Douglas, who plays a washed-up divorced dad still scamming on young ladies despite his graying temples. Jenna Fischer, Susan Sarandon and Danny Devito round out the eclectic cast. Devito and Douglas together again? The '80s really are back!

Also in theaters:
-- Should the fact that "MacGruber" is the best "Saturday Night Live" movie since "Wayne's World" really be a selling point? Even listening to Will Forte's drag character from "30 Rock" sing "If I Could Turn Back Time" for 90 minutes would be preferable to sitting through "It's Pat" or "The Ladies Man." If "MacGruber" is a hit, can we look forward to more Will Forte characters on the big screen? We would watch the hell out of a "Falconer" movie.
-- "Shrek Forever After" really seems more like a threat than a title. There is no way we've seen the end of this godawful franchise. At the very least, The Gingerbread Man is getting a spin-off.
-- "Holy Rollers" tells the true-life tale of some Hasidic Jews who moonlighted as ecstasy smugglers during the late '90s. Get it? Cause they are holy and they're "rolling" on E? Ah, forget it.

I Found Some Drugs -- What Should I Do With Them?

In Asylum's eternal quest to bring our readers the straight dope, we connected with legal expert and funny guy Tom O'Keefe to answer your burning legal questions. If you have a question for him, drop it in the comments.

Q: After a long night of drinking, a buddy and I spotted a plastic baggie containing what looked to be drugs on the street corner. I thought we should throw them out in the garbage to prevent any kids from getting their hands on them, but my buddy said we should just leave them or we could get pinched. I was too drunk to argue, so we left them. Was he right?

A:
While your intention to remove the drugs from the pathway of wayward children was noble, your buddy was not entirely wrong. He should, however, be summarily chastised for using the term "pinched," unless he is in the Mafia.

Here's the problem with your "throw the drugs out" idea: In order to do so you would have to pick the drugs up, unless you've mastered telekinesis. Once you place your helpful little hands on that bag you have asserted sufficient control to place them in your "possession" under the law.

That's right, drug possession.

Married Women Prefer Sleep, Watching Movies to Sex

Our happy hour fact to amaze your drinking buddies with.

A majority of married women would rather be doing something else than having sex with their husbands.

A survey of 2,000 married women between the ages of 18 and 49 by iVillage found that 41 percent prefer sleep to sex, 21 percent would rather be watching a movie and 16 percent would chose a good book over their marital obligations.

Despite this, 77 percent of married woman answered that they are at least "somewhat happy" with their sex lives; 65 percent said their husband provided them with the best sex they've ever had.

An optimistic way to interpret these statistics is that married women really do enjoy sex with their spouse, but would just like their husbands to figure out ways to incorporate activities, such as book reading, into their love-making.

Whiten Your Teeth Without a Trip to the Dentist

Beaming White Forever White Teeth Whitening Headset and KitWe know that our teeth are starting to look more ebony than ivory, but we've resisted our dentist's plea to whiten them. Too expensive -- plus, trips to his office are scary.

Luckily, there's another option: the home whitening kit. The Forever White Teeth Whitening Headset and Kit from Beaming White claims to be the quickest method of shining our chompers (aside from gargling bleach, which we don't recommend).

Beaming White includes a peroxide gel plus that cool LED headset that activates the gel to speed up the whitening process.

We aren't sure how much this thing retails for, but you cannot put a price on having an awesome blue, glowing maw.

Dating Red Flag of the Week -- The Beady-Eyed Killah

Here's this week's most outrageous relationship red flag story from the editors of The Little Black Blog of Big Red Flags.

The Story: "I'd been seeing a girl for six months. Her apartment lease ran out and she couldn't find a place right away, so I said she could stay with me until she got a new apartment.

I came back from work one day to find that she had thrown out all pictures of my best female friend. When I asked her why she'd done that, she said she couldn't stand her "beady eyes" staring at her.

I'm not sure if she was jealous or just psychotic. The latter was proved several times later in the relationship, which died out shortly thereafter."

What Kindle's Most Highlighted Passages Say About Humanity

Scurzuzu, Flickr
Recently the Internet and Amazon's handy little tool for enjoying e-books, the Kindle, gave us a whole new way to pick through the general public's private thoughts ... by browsing through the most-highlighted passages by Kindle users.

The 10 most highlighted passages come from three separate books, which might make you assume those are three of the most awesome books ever.

If you agree that A) a book explaining how successful people got successful, B) a "Da Vinci Code" sequel with a character that The New York Times compared to Jar Jar Binks, and C) a book about living in a shack with God are awesome, then fire up your Kindle and join the highlight brigade.

For the rest of us, let's see if this list helps us figure out what's wrong with our civilization.

Man Asks the Internet for Creative Ways to Defile His Ex-Wife's Wedding Dress


Therapy has many forms, and for the recently divorced Kevin Cotter, it is finding 101 different uses for his ex-wife's wedding dress. Some of them are practical, others just ridiculous, but they're certainly all different.

Cotter tells Asylum that his wife of 12 years left him at the end of last year -- taking everything but her wedding dress when she moved out of their home.

"I just think that she lost that loving feeling," he says. "We grew apart, but I really don't know why or how it happened. I'm not angry at her and I don't resent her. This isn't easy for either of us."

A few months after the split, Cotter began photographing the dress in various states of incorrect usage and launched the blog My Ex-Wife's Wedding Dress. He asked readers to make suggestions, and now the list has grown to 50 creative uses for the dress.
