Rover is a dog's name, so it could easily have been a dog penis.

Famous performers and sportsmen tend to have shorter lives, new study reports

I'm not sure their lives are on average any more stressful. Maybe physiologically - late nights and such.

Do you puke before you start your job?

The stress of performing in front of thousands of people, having to maintain a level of professionalism while staying on top of your game, getting scrutinized on your every move, etc. can be way more stressful than lets say... being a Structural Engineer.

From what I've heard NFL lineman tend to die young. The physical stress of being a three hundred pound dude going full out on a regular basis just surpasses the limits of what the human heart is built to take.

Apparently Iggy Pop appeared on American Idol at some point. He didn't tone himself down any. At one point he gets right in Jennifer Lopez's face and makes her back up. I don't know how I should feel about this, but I choose to be amused.

There's a link between Type-A personalities and early deaths due to stress-induced physiological problems.

The thing about Type-As is that they're hard-working, competitive, motivated, and determined, which are all qualities that put people in a position for success in their respective fields. Unfortunately, they cause just as much stress as success.

She was totally digging that though, you can see her lean forward a bit into him.
