Welcome to The Bad Girls Club!

The American show the Bad Girls club has arrived in Atlanta! This year brings seven new girls: Valentina, Stephanie, Shannon, Nicole, Paula, Janae and Alicia. As you know they all live in one big house, with different personalities and backgorunds. Before this season we had some crazy girls, who thought they were the BADDEST; with the fights, drama and running the house.  As this new season unfolds I would love to know who was your all time FAVORITE bad girl from previous seasons.

Was it Tanisha, from BGC season 1?

Or the infamous Ms." I run L.A" Natalie Nunn


Save the best for last, crazy creole Judi

And the results are in .....


The baddest bad girl of all time is Natalie Nunn from season 4. Natalie has kept viewers interest for her drama, back stabbing and her famous phrase "I run L.A". Many people agreed that Natalie is the baddest because no one ever tried to question her authority when she was in the house. That kind of explains why Oxygen kept her incorporated with BGC, because she's the baddest of them all!

The 7 Myths

Remember that myth that if you crack your knuckles too much that you will get inflammation of the joints in your hands, which is called arthritis. Or that silly one where if you go swimming after you eat, you can get cramps; yeah, that one is a myth also. Listed below are many rules that you probably grew up following that proven to be NOT true.

1. Swallowing gum stays in your stomach for approximately 7 years.
 NOT TRUE. Gum gets picked up by fluids in your digestive system, and goes through your system within few days.

2.You need a full 8 hours of sleep to function correctly.
 This rule is also wrong. Amount of hours of sleep a person needs varies on many factors like whether that person is sleep, is enduring some type of physical activity or going through stress.

3. Don't read in low lighted areas

  The whole reading in dim light causes blindness, is not true. Yes reading in dim light might put some straining on your eyes and give you headaches, but does not do permanent damage to your eyes.

4. Sugar causes kids to jump on walls
 Sugar does not affect children, that theory has been proven wrong.

5. The infamous "5 seconds" rule

 A college student name Jillian Clark, found this being a myth. Germs don't have a stop watch on food that falls on the floor/ground.

6. Warm milk will make you go to sleep

 The whole myth is psychological, just like sleeping with a stuff animal makes people go to sleep.

Does age REALLY matter?

In United States we have strict laws on age concerning dating and sex, and different laws in different states varies on this matter. The typical age in United States to marry is 18, and that is without parental consent; other states allow that if the teen has a child, that he/she can get married. Laws in other countries are very different, some countries don't have a law regarding the age consent to marry, but the question is does age really matter in terms of marriage. Is there a such thing of being too young or too old to marry? And should we have a international law on marriage?
 In Lagos, Nigeria, a 28-year old Nigeria native married a 71-year old European woman and they said they are deeply in love. What do you think?

 In rural Afghanistan, an 11-year old girl is set to get married with an 40-year old ma. The young girl said she is sad, because she had dreams of wanting to become a teacher to teach her native language.

Whenever I saw him, I hid. I hated to see him," Tahani (in pink) recalls of the early days of her marriage to Majed, when she was 6 and he was 25. The young wife posed for this portrait with former classmate Ghada, also a child bride, outside their mountain home in Hajjah.  In Yemen, a 6-year old to set to be married off to a 25-year old man.
