Married? Single? Nope, I’m divorced. Well, not technically yet, but it will be legal in just a few short weeks. My first conquest as a divorce` (God, I abhor that word) was to scope out who would be my first one-night stand. Who am I kidding? My name is Amelie D, and I’m a Virgin Hook-up Artist.

“A flamboyant celebrity blogger, the queen of all cougars and a “Fat Actress” walk into a bar…”

The setup is joke worthy, only calling people “child pornographers” in the “bar” of cyberspace, aka Twitter, isn’t funny.

Let’s face it, we can’t all shop for jewels at Tiffany’s or Cartier. But, that doesn’t mean we can’t look like we shop at those places.

Everything from it’s soap opera high school drama and cheesy one-liners to the sweet, sweet story of unyielding friendship and love. So get ready, the massive behemoth that is the Twilight franchise is making sure that everything you own can get you one step closer to Bella, Edward and the Cullen’s and the cosmetics world is no exception.

Yesterday Jon Gosselin broke his silence on Good Morning America, giving his first solo TV interview in four years. Well, good news for those of you following this ridiculous media frenzy: more of that interview aired on Primetime last night in a segment called “Family Secrets.”

Supporters are petitioning to get pole dancing included in the London Olympics in 2012. Check out the video and article to see if you think that this should be considered an Olympic sport.

Tyra Banks went back to her literal roots yesterday for the premiere of the fifth season of her talk show, coming onstage without a wig, extensions, or anything. Check out the video!

According to Wired Magazine, the possibilities include a delay for the new camera-equipped iPods, the death of the iPod Classic, a revised App Store, iTunes in the cloud and the possibility of the Beatles’ library on iTunes.

Hooray! 9/9/09 doesn’t really mean anything, but gives us an excuse to pretend it’s a holiday. What are you gonna do? Get married? Do some math? Twitter with Republicans?
