As of today, The Love Guru has a 15 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes' Tomatometer. Of the few reviews that didn't pan the film, one used the term "elephant sex" and another admitted that it was "juvenile," "strained" and "baggy."

We haven't seen it because we're pretentious, bitter haters who never got into Austin Powers the way other people did. But what about you? Anyone willing to fess up to watching The Love Guru? If so, did you like it?

Although Oprah's assistance alone cannot a president make, apparently it can prove Time magazine wrong.

But the so-called "O2 effect" has not been a symbiotic relationship. While Obama's camp asserts he has fared well from his relationship with Ms Winfrey, she can't say the same, according to new research from Fordham University.
