About Today: The 20 Funniest Celebs on Twitter

From Jen Hubley, your About Today Editor Twitter has many uses. You can follow friends and family from far away, to see what they're doing.

7 Houseplants You Can't Kill  I think the thing is to pick plants that are harder to kill. I tend to get ambitious with plants. Probably orchids are not the plant of choice for someone who can never find a pen and often spends hours calling her own cell phone to figure out where it is. (It is under the laundry.
