People who don't like themselves often find happiness when they become somebody else. Companies that advertise in the backs of magazines are ready to assist in this transformation. If there are compelling personal reasons for not changing your identity, perhaps a trip to a spa for a simple makeover will do the trick.

Jennifer Aniston Settles Lawsuit with Mrs. Coffee
Jan 27, 2007, 15:55
LOS ANGELES - Former Friends star Jennifer Aniston has settled a multimillion-dollar lawsuit filed against her by Mrs. Coffee, wife of the popular coffee-making icon Mr. Coffee.
The suit, filed early last year in Los Angeles, named Ms. Aniston as "the principal contributing factor" in the Coffees' bitter divorce. Both parties are forbidden by the terms of the settlement from discussing any of its details.
The Coffees were married in 1973, the year Mr. Coffee skyrocketed to fame in the United States. Their marriage survived other disturbances, most notably Mr. Coffee's dalliance with Mrs. Tea in the 1980s, but according to a close friend of the couple, "The real trouble started brewing when he met Jennifer Aniston."
Mr. Coffee met Ms. Aniston in a Williams-Sonoma store in Palo Alto. She allegedly turned to him for a lift as she struggled with depression after she had been tossed aside by her husband, Brad Pitt, for Angelina Jolie.
"Jen did spend a lot of time with Mr. Coffee," said Ms. Aniston's best friend, Courteney Cox Arquette, "but their relationship was strictly platonic. I don't think it constituted grounds for a lawsuit."
"That sounds like an instant defense," said Mrs. Coffee's attorney, Jose Arabica. "Ms. Aniston's own statements last summer indicate that she was more than 'just friends' with Mr. Coffee."
Ms. Aniston did, in fact, tell Vanity Fair that when she needed companionship, she liked nothing better than to "get next to Mr. Coffee and push his buttons. He never lets me down."

Former Penn State football coach Joe Paterno did not die of a broken heart, as many of his delusional followers are claiming. He died of a guilty conscience. Anybody who says otherwise is a toadying douchebag.
