Report: Older users flocking to Facebook, Twitter

While younger people are the majority on social-media sites, the number of users over 50 is the fastest growing, a survey says.

Now, Ehrlich -- who turns 51 in a few weeks -- barely qualifies for the fastest-growing club on the Web.

5 signs your toddler is depressed

Preschool depression is becoming increasingly common, writes Pamela Paul in The New York Times Magazine. But you can stop it in its tracks

"Preschool depression" will likely soon join parents' "what-to-worry-about lexicon," alongside ADHD and other disorders unheard of 30 years ago, says Pamela Paul in an in-depth New York Times Magazineinvestigation. Though many experts maintain that toddlers are too psychologically immature to experience depression, a growing number of child psychologists believe it can hit children as young as 2 or 3 — and that treating the condition immediately can rewire the brain in a way that diminishes the problem later on. Here are five signs to look out for in your toddler:

The album recalls Gwen Stefani in her SoCal prime:Teenage Dream proves Katy Perry is "a true California gurl,"says Rob Sheffield in Rolling Stone. "Miles ahead" of her breakout record, it's "the kind of pool-party-pop gem that Gwen Stefani used to crank out... full of SoCal ambiance and disco beats."

Pop star Lady Gaga, who used to be Paris Hilton's schoolmate, has said she doesn't consider the heiress as an artist. The 24-year-old singer went to New York's Convent Of The Sacred Heart as a child along with Paris and her sister Nicky. But Gaga claims they are very different despite going to the same school, reported Daily Star. "I don't see Paris as an artist. People assume that all the girls who went to my school were like Nicky and Paris and the truth is that I went to a very, very
