Here’s a weird story. The last I heard of Dean McDermott’s ex wife, Mary Jo Eustace, she was telling the story of how Dean, her then-husband of over 12 years, had heartlessly dumped her for his “soul mate” Tori Spelling, just three weeks after meeting Tori and right after they’d adopted a baby girl. Things seem to be looking up for Mary at this point, despite the prospect of having to see Dean and his sour-faced wife on television for years to come. Mary, who hosts a cooking show on Canadian television, has penned a cookbook in conjunction with dating website Cougarlife.com* called Cooking for Your Cub.

Eustace instead sought revenge of a different kind, penning multiple books including the controversial “Divorce Sucks.” And now her latest culinary venture “Cooking For Your Cub!” is ready for release – a “cougar cookbook” peppered with gourmet recipes, food aphrodisiacs and tips for “being saucy.”

“I wanted to do something really fun and an anecdote to the whole divorce saga. This is for women who are in their 30s and 40s and are starting again, making a great living and don’t necessarily need men financially,” Eustace told FOX411’s Pop Tarts column. “The whole idea of the book is to have a woman who is secure, dating a younger man, and cooking for romance and fun.”

In keeping with her own Hollywood experience, Eustace has named each of the 24 recipes after famous females who have been through a marriage break down. There’s everything from Jennifer Asparagus Soup, Courteney Coconut Lemongrass Soup and Oysters A La Madonna, to Mariah Bananas Brandy, Proscuitto Halle Basil Sandwich, Roasted Leg of Lamb (Demi Glace) and Beef Tenderloin with Sarandon Shallots Over Blue Cheese Mash.

“The concept of being a cougar is becoming a lot more mainstream, we’ve got people like Demi Moore who is beautifully preserved and at the top of her game choosing to be with a much younger man, and it is becoming really acceptable that you can have that choice,” Eustace continued. “Then there is the likes of Kim Cattrall who was on ‘Sex and the City’ and obviously with a younger man during the series so we are playing on that, and now Susan Sarandon has a young boyfriend. These women look fantastic. I think it just shows that women have more control and more choice and don’t have to be obligated to a certain type of man.”

Another concept behind the book, which was co-conceived by Claudia Opdenkelder, the CEO CougarLife.com – a niche dating website that caters to professional women seeking younger men – is for older women to help their significant other develop more “mature” tastes.

“I thought it would be funny to introduce them to adult food – introducing them to coffee lobster, maybe a liqueur, you’re trying to sophisticate their palate,” Eustace said. “I also want it to be fun and sexy but do-able. It’s got to be fun and it can’t be taxing to do.”

Eustace also hopes the marriage-rocked celebrities honored by recipes in “Cooking For Your Cub!” which includes the likes of Jennifer Aniston, Olivia Newton-John, Madonna and Halle Berry, are flattered by the inclusion and intends to send them each a copy.

“It’s a compliment – a cookbook with good recipes,” she said. “It is a testament to older women who look fantastic and are choosing how they live their life. I think that’s a good message for women.”

Look, I get the urge to date younger guys after a divorce. More of them are single without ex wives, kids and the baggage that comes along with age. They’re probably more willing to please and less set in their ways. Good for Eustace for getting hers and moving on. For the love of God, though, why is she calling the guys she dates “cubs” and talking about introducing them to new flavors and “adult food” as if they’re toddlers? It’s creepy and it sounds like she’s talking about a son, not a boyfriend.

To be fair, the book jacket says that Eustace was approached by the CougarLife ceo about cooking for her cub, so maybe she’s just on board for this idea and it wasn’t something she came up with on her own.

The CougarLife lady probably has to cook for her “cubs” at home because it’s embarrassing to take them out. You have the “he looks like your son” comments, along with the sticky issue of who is going to pay for dinner when your date is scraping by and you’ve got a lucrative career. May as well make some coffee flavored lobster and have sex at your place, that way you won’t have to face the reality that your boyfriend is living with roommates in an apartment that needs fumigation. I remember the guys I dated in college and I remember scrubbing some nasty tubs before I was able to take a shower. Some of those guys were really hot, looking back, but life at that time was much less convenient on so many levels.

I guess it seems inevitable that someone has put out a “Cougar” cookbook, because a lot of those young dudes can’t cook anything other than Ramen and it’s not like they can pick up the check on a night out. Ultimately it’s a marketing gimmick, just like the famous women that Eustace uses to name each recipe.

There was some confusion the other day about whether Madonna had a new boyfriend named Brahim, and which Brahim was actually her “boyfriend.” As it turns out, there is one guy named Brahim Zaibat who is a 24-year-old break dancer and back-up dancer. Zaibat was photographed with Madonna several days ago. And then last night, Madge was photographed with the other Brahim, Brahim Rachiki, or at least that’s how WENN identifies this guy. Although… he looks a lot like the guy X17 identified as Zaibat. This is so confusing! Let’s just say that Jesus Luz is officially over, and that Madonna has a new boy-toy who is either 33 years old or 24 years old, and that she went clubbing with her new guy last night in London. I think we can also safely say, trend-watchers, that Dudes Named Brahim are officially “in style”. Take notes.

Brahim is being identified as this dude, in black:

I will also say this – Madonna’s face has settled in very well, at long last. I’ll also say that the bitch needs to get her roots done.

What’s the verdict on Zac Efron? I still don’t know. I’ve included him on one of our Hot Guy Friday posts, and many of you seem to like him, in a cougar-to-jailbait kind of way. I’m not calling you people old, I’m just saying that Zac Efron’s youthful prettiness and studied insouciance seem to bring out the cougar in all of us, even the young(er) girls. From what I’ve read about him, he seems like a really sweet kid too, very generous to fans, very professional and very ambitious. There are totally worse adjectives to use when describing a member of Young Hollywood (like brat, moron, entitled, a–hole, etc), so all in all I have high hopes for Zac.

Zac’s big star vehicle this year is the lead in Charlie St. Cloud. I have to admit, I always watch the trailer when it comes on TV. It seems like the film could veer towards cheesy and melodramatic, but it also seems like the film will succeed or fail on Zac’s performance, which by all accounts is solid. Anyway, Universal sent us this making-of video for Charlie St. Cloud, and it’s pretty interesting. Zac… shirtless. He’s got a really nice chest. Mm… cougar time:

And here’s the full trailer for Charlie St. Cloud:

Not only does he have a nice chest, he has absolutely gorgeous eyes too! Paul Newman blue. Lovely. He needs to fix that damn hair though.

I remember this gossip from when it all began a few months ago. Someone got photos of Courteney Cox and her Cougar Town costar Brian Van Holt walking somewhere close to a motel or something. That’s pretty much the basis for Star Magazine’s “Oh, they’re totally f-cking” story. Brian and Courteney hang out together a lot even though Cougar Town has finished filming their season. Oh, and they had dinner together too. Alone. Okay… maybe they are f-cking.

Cougar Town costars Courteney Cox and Brian Van Holt have been spotted out together four times in less than four weeks since their sitcom wrapped in early April. And Courteney’s husband, David Arquette, was nowhere in sight!

Star has obtained an exlcusive photo of Courteney and Brian enjoying dinner at Malibu’s Coral Beach Cantina on May 7 without her husband of 10 years and their 5-year-old daughter, Coco.

“They were drinking beer and having chips and salsa in the back of the outdoor patio,” says an eyewitness at Coral Beach Cantina. “They looked like they were holding hands at the side of their table!”

Things got even more intimate when the two parted ways after dinner and Brian gave Courteney what appeared to be a kiss goodbye, says the eyewitness.

Pick up this week’s issue of Star to see our exclusive photo of Courteney and Brian dining out along with a timeline of their other rendezvous.

[From Star Magazine]

Would Courteney cheat on David Arquette? If you were married to him, would you? Although David seems like a total space cadet, he also seems like a sweetheart, and he and Courteney have weathered a lot together. But, of course, I never know what’s going on with her. She seems like a strange duck, and even though I might not understand her motives, I’ll admit it could be possible that she’s screwing around.

Sharon Stone is the June cover girl for More Magazine. In the interview (which is online, here), Sharon talks about getting lip injections and how she’s “shameless” et cetera. Of course, she’s also talking about how her love life is like the Mojave, so maybe she’s not that shameless. Regarding the lip injections, I always wonder if Sharon has had any major work done – she’s one of those women (like Catherine Zeta-Jones) where I can’t tell if they’ve had no major work or just had really amazing work that looks natural. Here’s more from Sharon’s interview:

Sharon Stone is shameless. The actress considers it a skill to have no shame. She thinks everyone should try it, though she cautions that if you’re female, shamelessness can cost you. Her refusal to feel guilty, she says, has gotten her labeled difficult, or worse.

“I’m like a Prohibition-era flapper. I’m like a juke-joint hussy,” Stone says over lunch at an Italian restaurant near Beverly Hills. But better to be called names than to be pressured into not being herself. Feeling ashamed, she says, “is not an organic state of being, so shamelessness is closer to godliness. You have to put shame down.”

The actress, who broke through as the shamelessly sexual villain in Basic Instinct and most recently did a four-episode guest stint on Law & Order: SVU, says, “I’m detached from my celebrity; I don’t need to be ‘it’ anymore.” She’s been thinking a lot lately about getting older, about womanhood and about lost love. What she’s concluded may surprise you.

“Life and love is like the ocean,” she says between bites of a Caesar salad. At 52, she is stunning up close—blue eyed, lithe and radiant in ripped jeans, a white T-shirt sans bra and a linen vest. “Sometimes the tide is in and sometimes the tide is out, and sometimes it’s like the frigging Mojave.” Where’s the tide now? “For me? Mojave! Fortunately, I like the desert. I’m a desert flower.”

Of course, a dry spell in Stone’s life can sound like a torrential downpour to the rest of us. For example, she acknowledges that since her divorce from former San Francisco newspaper editor Phil Bronstein six years ago, “I really get pursued by men in their twenties, like, a lot.” Her theory on why? “They probably know there’s food in the fridge and that somebody’s going to talk to them and ask them how their day was.”

Her divorce, she tells writer Amy Wallace, hit her harder than she has revealed up till now, starting with insecurity about her looks. Loneliness and self doubt caused her to get something—she doesn’t recall what—injected into her lips. “Nobody loves me. I’m 103. My life would be better if I had better lips,” she says, recounting the thoughts that went through her head pre-injection. Just one thought occurred to her afterward: “What the hell?” Her lips were so overplump, gloss wouldn’t stay put; what’s more, her lips no longer matched. She looked “like a trout,” she says. She adds that she’s shunned plastic surgery ever since.

As for her feelings about Bronstein, Stone, who has previously had a sort of tough-as-nails demeanor when discussing their split, says now that she married him “with every best intention for every good and wonderful thing.” And when the marriage was over, it crushed her. “It takes a long, long time to come to the point where you can actually say that you got married because you were in love with the person. And it makes me cry,” she says, dabbing at her eyes. It’s easier to be angry. But to let that go and “to admit your own lovingness was, for me, a harder step. Not to be embarrassed or ashamed that I could love somebody who didn’t love me. And that can be OK.”

Do you buy that Sharon has 20-something dudes coming up to her? Perhaps. But – and I’m seriously not trying to be rude and mean, I swear – I think if guys in their 20s come up to her or proposition her, it’s for the kitsch value of it. Like, those are the guys who had their first masturbatory celebrity fantasy to Sharon in Basic Instinct. Of course, maybe she’s a lot of fun and really cool to be around and there really are 20-something dudes just salivating to hit that. But I doubt it, on all counts.

Susan Sarandon kept pretty quiet after her split with long-time partner Tim Robbins became public in December. Even though she was still promoting The Lovely Bones, she really didn’t do many interviews and she never really gave any reasons publicly for their split. Neither did Tim, for that matter. However, just days after their split became public, many sites (including ours) ran with the rumor that Susan was already bangin’ a 31-year-old dude named Jonathan Bricklin. You see, Susan is an investor in a Ping-Pong club that Bricklin co-owns or operates or something. And they had been seen together several times, usually looking flirty or friendly. The rumors are still floating around, by the way. And Susan and Jonathan are still turning up at the same places at the same times (spooky!).

Anyway, Susan has a new interview in Entertainment Weekly and she’s not doing much to dispel those cougar rumors. Which, by the way, she loves it when you call her a cougar. And she also describes her life post-Tim Robbins as “exhilarating and terrifying at the same time.” Interesting!

In the new issue of Entertainment Weekly, Susan Sarandon talks about life since splitting with her partner of two decades, Tim Robbins. When asked how things have changed for the 63-year-old Oscar winner since they parted ways, Sarandon said, “I did a movie a long time ago where I had to fly in a glider. You get towed up in the air by a plane, and it’s loud and annoying. And at some point you pull the cord and you’re suddenly floating, and in your mind it makes absolutely no sense. But it’s exhilarating and terrifying at the same time. That’s where I am now.”

When asked if she’s dating anyone now (Sarandon’s been linked in the gossip columns to one of the partners in her New York ping pong club, SPiN, 31-year-old Jonathan Bricklin), she shut down the line of questioning with a playful “no comment”.

But, she added: “It’s a long time to not be dating and then go back into it. I certainly love the idea of being in love, and I love the idea of companionship. Whatever happens next in terms of romance and partners, I don’t know. But it’s exhilarating and terrifying. I think the point is just keep moving, and to just say yes to life.”

The actress also says she doesn’t mind being called a cougar one bit. “No, I love that!”

[From Entertainment Weekly]

Yeah, I think she and Bricklin are going at it. She’s probably got a few other young dudes on the side too. Because that’s just the way Susan rolls. You know what I’m finding bizarre, though? We really haven’t heard anything about Tim since the split became public. I’m starting to wonder and worry about him. Do you think there’s something else going on with him?

Thus far, we’ve pretty much avoided covering Kelly Rutherford’s never-ending divorce drama, and I hope it will remain that way. But one thing is for sure – Kelly is ready to move on with her life, and Star Magazine is reporting that Kelly has her eye on none other than her Gossip Girl costar, Chace Crawford. Chace is 24 years old – Kelly is 41. So you can guess how Star started their report – as some kind of “Cougar Alert”.

Kelly Rutherford is a total cougar: she had her claws all over Gossip Cirl costar Chace Crawford during QVC’s Feb. 13 New York Fashion Week bash!

As Chace gave an interview, Kelly snuck up behind him and ran her hands through his hair.

“This is one of those guys,” she said. “If you go out with him, you don’t have to worry about dressing him, right? You want to undress him!”

As bystanders tittered, Kelly continued to hand all over her boy-toy. Chace is no stranger to older women. As Star reported, he had an affair with 14-years-older Shauna Sand years ago. Kelly, 41, has only three years on her!

[From Star Magazine, print edition, March 8, 2010]

Yeah, the Shauna Sand thing makes me think that Chace would be up for it. Of course, it also makes me think that he has a specific type, and Kelly isn’t it. And why, for goodness sake, would you ever want to be with a dude after he’s been with Shauna Sand? That would make me dry-heave. That being said, I do like the idea of Chace and Kelly’s romance blossoming at a QVC event. That seems apt.

Oh, there are photos of the two of them flirting with each other at the event! Yeah, they both look into it. It’s on, cougars!

For all the vehement denials issued by Susan Sarandon’s reps – and even her mom – it looks like the rumor about her young entrepreneur boyfriend may be true. The Oscar-winning actress has been pulled into a court dispute between Jonathan Bricklin, with whom Sarandon has been spending a great deal of time since her split with Tim Robbins, and his business partners at an upscale ping pong club in NYC. Bricklin’s partners have named Susan Sarandon as a witness – and possibly a little bit more.

Susan Sarandon — who recently separated from Tim Robbins — is caught in the middle of a legal battle involving her new boyfriend, Jonathan Bricklin, and his two biggest investors in SPiN, the pingpong club in the Flatiron District.

The majority investors in SPiN, Bill Mack and Iwona Herdzik, claim in a suit filed last week in Manhattan Supreme Court that the club’s founders — Bricklin, Andrew Gordon and Franck Raharinosy — have frozen them out of the business.

Mack and Herdzik, who together poured more than $1.5 million into SPiN, allege that Bricklin, Gordon and Raharinosy issued additional shares of the company to third parties without their approval, mismanaged SPiN’s finances and threatened to shut the club and file bankruptcy.

Not in the suit are statements sources made to Page Six that Bricklin and minority partner Sarandon, who invested $50,000 in the club, are in cahoots to run the business without consulting Mack and Herdzik. The sources say Sarandon and Bricklin met at a Naked Pingpong party in February, 2008, and later became romantically involved as they worked on a video for Robbins’ 50th birthday. Sarandon’s rep did not respond to a request for comment.

Herdzik and Mack claim they tried to resolve things through arbitration, but Bricklin and his fellow co-founders allegedly refused and threatened to close the club and give the keys to SPiN’s landlord — which would have lost the investors all their money.

A rep for SPiN responded: “Bill and Iwona attempted to take control of SPiN New York, but the judge flatly denied that request. There is zero truth to the allegations that the club is seeking bankruptcy protection.

“They tried to work out their differences with Bill and Iwona over a heated table tennis match at SPiN, but they ended up in court, which is a lot less fun.”

[From Page Six]

Hmm. Naked Ping Pong. Now that’s an icebreaker! This guy might be fun for now, and Susan is probably getting her groove back and all, but there seems to be some baggage accompanying this relationship in the form of a bad business deal that is about to get a lot uglier. It would be nice if Susan could step away from all this cougar/table tennis/boy toy drama and get in front of a movie camera again. She’s way too classy a lady to get dragged down by this stuff.

Since announcing her split with her partner of 23 years, Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon’s possible love connections have been the subject of some quiet but consistent gossip. Immediately following the split, the most likely candidate for “Susan’s boy-toy” was named as her business partner, a 31-year-old hipster named Jonathan Bricklin. Sarandon is one of the investors in the ping-pong club Spin, which Bricklin runs with two other partners. Both Sarandon and Bricklin denied a romance, and after a week or so, Sarandon was seen out and about with yet another young dude. Meanwhile, MSat covered the possibility that it wasn’t another man that split up Tim and Susan, but politics.

Now People Magazine, that bastion of publicist-driven spin, is sort of calling Susan out. They’re running a story about how Susan and Bricklin have been spotted together a few times, and that Susan is “enjoying the single life.” Code for: hittin’ it.

Two weeks after announcing her split from longtime partner Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon is not slowing down: In fact, the 63-year-old single star has been spotted out at several New York City nightspots.

One of Sarandon’s favorite hotspots is SPiN, the ping-pong club where she’s an investor. On Tuesday night, she strolled into the place just before 8:00 p.m., wearing a slouchy black newsboy cap and sneakers to chat with one of her partners at the lounge, Jonathan Bricklin, and a few friends. Rumors have swirled of a romance between Sarandon and 32-year-old Bricklin, but reps for both have denied it. Still, Sarandon seems to be enjoying the single life.

Here’s how she’s surviving the break-up!

Hanging out with Younger Guys
Sarandon spends a lot of evenings hanging out at her club SPiN with the young crowd that frequents the place – including Bricklin. On Tuesday, she popped in for just 20 minutes before she was out the door – perhaps to check out another late night hotspot.

Staying Out Late
On Dec. 28, Sarandon was spotted at Manhattan’s Creperie, a tiny crepe joint in the West Village. The same night, she and Bricklin, checked out Mermaid Oyster Bar, a casual seafood restaurant just down the street. The kitchen was closed – so they just had drinks. “He drank two Jamesons and she had tequila,” says a source. They left at around 1:30 am.

Flirting with Dave Letterman
On Dec. 22 – one day before announcing her split from Robbins – Sarandon appeared on The Late Show with Dave Letterman to promote her upcoming role in The Lovely Bones. She chatted about her two Pomeranians and learning to pole dance with her daughter, Eva, who learned the skill for a guest spot on Californication – and Sarandon showed off a new tattoo around her wrist.

With her late night prowling, maybe 63 really is the new 30.

[From People]

63 is the new 30? Um, no. I’ll buy that Susan is still relevant and sexy and cool, but I will not buy that she’s the representative of “63 is the new 30.” Why can’t “63 be incredible on it’s own without comparing it to another age”? That being said, I do think Susan and this Jonathan Bricklin kid are hittin’ it, and I think People Magazine thinks so too. I know he beeps on some people’s gaydars, but to me he just seems slightly hipster-effete. Probably right up Susan’s alley. Screen-cap of Bricklin, below:

I’m skimming through W Magazine’s cover interview with Demi Moore, and I’ve come to conclusion that pretty much everyone knows that Demi has had a lot of work done. She can deny it (and deny itand deny it) all she wants, but I think it must be the kind of plastic surgery that is really noticeable when you see her in person. Sometimes, when I look at photographs of her, I’m jarred. Often, she looks fabulous in pictures, but there is something so… unreal about her face, and I think it must be quite something in person.

Just for example, here’s how W Magazine describes her:

At 47, she looks changed, although more by time than by the surgeon’s knife. One might say she looks her age, although hers is an undeniably striking version of midlife. The skin of her forehead and around her eyes does indeed wrinkle as she expresses emotion, its surface less dewy fresh than it once was. Beneath her haystack of wavy black hair, Moore is thinner than expected, which emphasizes the prominent bone structure that still photographs so well but also gives her a slightly gaunt appearance in person. Her chopstick legs are sheathed in skinny dark jeans, and her oversize cashmere sweatshirt looks as if it could have been borrowed from husband Ashton Kutcher’s side of the closet.

[From W Magazine]

It’s like the writer is trying to find a nice way of saying “Sure, I’ll go along with her looking weird because she’s aging ‘naturally’ and she’s just really thin, so I’ll say that Demi looks ‘changed’ and we’ll all know what I’m really saying.” Anyway, here are some of the highlights from Demi’s interview:

Demi on the film roles she‘s offered: “The frustrating part is that the type of roles I’d be interested in are not really coming to me,” says Moore, who fidgets and balls herself into various contortions like a kid but speaks in her signature hoarse whisper. “I hate to say it’s a function of my age—but yes, I think in some ways it is. The majority of [female] roles are geared between 25 and 35.”

On her Hollywood downfall: In 1996 she became the highest-paid actress to date with her $12 million paycheck for the unloved Striptease. Then, at the height of her prowess, Moore produced and starred in Ridley Scott’s G.I. Jane, a film that put forward the then radical notion that women should have the right to serve in active combat. Or at least women as buff as Moore. For the part, Moore shaved her head and mastered a one-armed push-up; during a brutal fight scene with Viggo Mortensen, she growled the jaw-dropping line “Suck my dick!” The movie, as she puts it, “got slammed… I think G.I. Jane got hit because I was paid $12 million to do Striptease,” says Moore. “In a sense, Striptease was a film where women felt I betrayed them. G.I. Jane is a film where men felt I betrayed them. The focus went on that paycheck.”

On leaving Hollywood: “One of the things that hit me very strongly was the realization that what we do is not who we are. I had worked my whole life. Until I became a mother, that’s the only way I measured my value.”

On her “quirky” side: “I know I have an eccentric, obsessive-compulsive side,” Moore acknowledges. “I’m looking for roles that reach into that quirkier place.”

On her cougar/puma cred: “I’m certainly not the first person to be in a relationship with a younger man, but somehow I was plucked out as a bit of a poster girl… I’d prefer to be called a puma,” she says, explaining how she came up with the new designation and “Twittered it out. People wrote back hilarious stuff, saying, ‘I’m going to get T-shirts that say puma power.’”

On Twitter: “People are much more interested in what I have to say directly,” she says, “and that really changed the whole dynamic I have with fans.”

On Perez Hilton, who linked to photos of her 15-year-old daughter, Tallulah, and posted comments about her “boobs” and “ass.”: Vaguely citing legal limitations, she carefully chooses her words. “We were away for my daughter’s birthday,” she explains. “When I came back, thousands upon thousands of people were writing to me, outraged about what had been posted about my 15-year-old daughter. I felt like I needed to acknowledge it.”

On Ashton Kutcher: “The most overwhelming part of meeting someone that you already felt you had such a deep and old connection with is that your feelings are greater than the time you’ve had to actually be with one another,” she says. “Now we’ve had the physical time together. The love he has for me makes me a better person by giving me the courage to take risks. I can fail and have someone who loves me just the same. I never knew it was quite possible. As a married woman, I am and will always be Mrs. Kutcher. But I have my career as Demi Moore.”

[From W Magazine]

It kills me that Demi is such a consistently good interview. By all probabilities, she should be boring and vapid. But she’s not – she has a lot to say on relationships, on life, on religion, on being a mother, on her role in Hollywood. I’m always impressed with her because I think she’s one of the smartest businesswomen out there – and the business side of filmmaking might be her true calling, rather than acting. It pains me to see Ashton Kutcher out there, trying to make a go of it as a big-time producer, when Demi is the real business brains. Oh well – I guess it would be too much to hope for to see Demi hang up her acting spurs and just concentrate on a behind-the-scenes stuff.
