Those nagging doubts you have about your fiance?

They're probably right.

So says a new UCLA study, which concludes that such "pre-wedding uncertainty," more for women than men, predicts unhappy marriages and even divorce.

Justin Lavner, the lead author of the study and a UCLA doctoral candidate in psychology, says:

Breastfeeding: So hot right now!

While supermoms like TIME covergirl and L.A. resident Jamie Lynne Grumet are fighting the good fight to breastfeed their toddlers in public (through radical nurse-ins called Boobie Paloozas; we kid you not), the female employees and visitors at L.A. City Hall would like to do the deed in private, thank you very much.

So today, L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa did the city's more conservative mothers a solid...

Categories: Women

An L.A. mom whipped out her booby and started breastfeeding at the L.A. County Museum of Art recently, inspiring a hapless "staffer" to tell her to cover up.

We call it human-nature performance art. The LACMA guard thought it was too strip club.

And so Katie Hamilton and her supporters have taken to Facebook to give it to the Miracle Mile artistic institution:

This is not only tax day, but it's Equal Pay Day, when we lament the fact that, in 2012, women still make less than men for doing the same jobs.

Now comes news that, on top of that, women work harder than men.

Yep. You heard that right. A recent survey from recruiting software company Bullhorn called "theFIT Report on Workplace Culture" found that ...

The National Partnership for Women & Families today said women in California get paid 84 cents for every dollar men make here, on average.

Sad and true but ... California's gender wage gap is way better than the national average, which is 77 cents on the dollar -- more than $10,000 a year worth.

In fact, the Golden State ...

What arouses a woman's libi-don't?

Riding a bike, especially one with low-set handlebars, according to a new study from Yale University.

Anyone who's been on a bike knows that your body weight rests heavily on the seat, which puts pressure on the genital area. So it's not too shocking that female cyclists have decreased sensation in the pelvis area, as the study reports.

The study also notes:

In the battle of the sexes, nothing gets women riled up like the words, "You can't drive! (And neither can your mother)."

The proper response to that jab, of course, is, "Well you drive too fast. (And your father's a jerk)."

So, in the war between a deliberate female driver and a testosterone-fueled road warrior in this car capital of L.A., which one is, in fact, the safer motorist? Don't blame the messenger, but ...

Sandra can still party, apparently.
From the Department of No Frigging Duh know comes this fine scoop from USA Today ... today.

Forty-year-old women, it turns out, like to party too. The in-depth story looks mostly at the fine, middle-aged ladies off California.

Now, the underlying assumption here is that these women should otherwise be dead but somehow find the energy to get up off their walkers to shake their groove thangs one last time:

Duh, boys!
Update: Alyssa Campanella wins Miss USA 2011, as predicted! Makin' L.A. -- and a roomful of buzzed Vegas oddsmakers -- very proud tonight. (Aside from her diss on the "Legalize It" movement. So un-Californian.) Watch her flash the devil horns, and work a bikini, after the jump.

Originally posted June 16 at 2 p.m.

Might as well just hand over the Miss USA crown to Alyssa Campanella now, say a batch of Vegas bookies in today's Daily, apparently bored with betting on boy things like sports and cards.

"There are no stats to go on, and we have no inside information," says Bodog.com's Adam Young. "But we have been doing this for five years, and we've never had a huge upset."

Walking the walk.
There are perp walks. And power walks. Now there's a SlutWalk coming to West Hollywood tomorrow.

But before you line the parade route, Charlie Sheen, note that the participants aren't embracing your kind. Rather they're protesting the notion, uttered this spring by a Toronto cop, that "dressing like sluts" could get women raped.

It sparked a global backlash. The SlutWalk, since successfully organized in Toronto, Boston, Amsterdam and Brazil, was born.
