After a two year engagement, Megan Fox and Brian Green reportedly decided to end their relationship. Dudes dating chicks out of their look's league across the world mourn.

"The decision was mutual," says the source. "They're still friends."

Megan and Brian (or Brian Austin? Idk.) met in 2004, when she was still un-famous and willing to grab up on his jock in public.

Kendra Wilkinson Offers Support, Love for Holly Madison

via The Hollywood Gossip by matt@iscribelimited.com (Hilton Hater) on 2/26/09

During many threesomes with Hugh Hefner, it's safe to assume that Kendra Wilkinson often had the front of Holly Madison.

Following the latter's break up with Criss Angel, however, Kendra says she has Holly's back.

"She has so much love to give someone," Wilkinson said this week. "I hope that she finds someone to giver her that love back."

Following four intense months of dating, Madison and Angel announced on Wednesday that they were no longer a couple.

"I hope she stays happy and strong and I hope she finds someone that loves her for who she is – for her heart and for her giant boobs," said Wilkinson.

Gmail Lets You Multi-Select Attachments

via Mashable! by Adam Ostrow on 2/26/09

This has probably been my #1 Gmail pet peeve since I started using the service 4 or 5 years ago, and now it has finally been addressed: the ability to upload multiple attachments at once, rather than one-by-one. Additionally, when you attach files, you'll now get a progress bar indicating how long until the file is uploaded and ready to be sent.
Now, Gmail essentially works like any other service on the Web that lets you upload files. When you click "attach a file" when composing an email, you can browse your computer and select multiple files by holding down the CTRL key on Windows machines, or Cmd on Mac. Once you're finished, Gmail starts uploading and keeps you posted on the upload status.


It's somewhat baffling that this feature took so long, while Gmail pushed things like beer goggles for email instead. But Google's new found focus on adding utility to Gmail makes us happy, as in recent weeks we've also seen the addition of offline support and easier options for moving and archiving messages.
What other issues remain for Gmail to address? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

Nice dress : Kate Beckinsale

Nice dress

via The Blemish by Victor on 2/20/09

Kate Beckinsale showed up for Fashion Week in a tight, leather dress. A pleasant visual for men everywhere. And yes, that is David Spade talking to Kate. I don't know why. I'd have thought they would have tased him before he even got within 20 feet of her. I'm pretty sure that was made clear in her contract.

They’re overpaying : Paris Hilton

They’re overpaying

via The Blemish by Victor on 2/20/09

For the love of god, get her away from that baby.

Not even Fashion Week can survive the recession. The economy has gotten so bad that they can't even coerce A-listers like Renee Zellweger and Jennifer Lopez into the front row anymore and have to settle for D-listers like elite hooker Ashley Dupre, Kim Kardashian and Tori Spelling.

Not only can't they afford to pay A-lister's exorbitant appearance fees, but their drinks are now provided by McDonald's instead of Starbucks and gift bags are filled with K-Y Jelly instead of NARS cosmetics.

"In the past, people were paid thousands and thousands of dollars per show," one celebrity wrangler said.
But this year's pretty young things attend for a few thousand bucks' worth of free clothes, grab gift bags missing high-end goodies and settle for McDonald's instead of Starbucks or champagne.
Paris Hilton - ubiquitous this week with sister Nicky and Kardashian in tow - used to charge $50,000 to appear at just one show, another veteran celebrity wrangler said.
Now she is showing up at shows this year for free airfare, hotel accommodations and $5,000 in free clothes per designer, sources said.

To be fair, all you have to do is mention "free" and Paris will come running. I once convinced Paris to make an appearance at my birthday party by promising free air and a gift bag of rocks I bought at Michaels. To this day, she still thinks she made off with 20 pounds of rare African gems.

US welcomes Venezuela's term vote

The US has cautiously welcomed Venezuela's vote to scrap limits on how often politicians, including President Hugo Chavez, can run for office.

State Department spokesman Noel Clay praised "the civic spirit" of the referendum on Sunday.
But he said it was important that elected officials in Venezuela focused "on governing democratically".
Mr Chavez is one of Washington's most outspoken critics, who last year expelled the US ambassador in Caracas.
Mr Chavez has said he needs to stay in office beyond the end of his current term in 2012 so he can secure what he calls Venezuela's socialist revolution.
Critics say that would concentrate too much power in the presidency.
'Already candidate'
On Monday, Venezuela's electoral commission said that with 94% of votes counted, 54% backed an end to term limits.
"The doors of the future are wide open," Mr Chavez shouted from the balcony of the Miraflores presidential palace after the results were announced.

CHAVEZ DECADE: KEY DATES Feb 1999: Takes office after winning 1998 election July: Re-elected under new constitution for a six-year term April 2002: Abortive coup. Chavez returns to power after two days August 2004: Wins recall referendum on whether he should serve out rest of his term Dec 2006: Wins another six-year term with 63% Dec 2007: Loses constitutional referendum which included proposal to allow the president to run indefinitely for office Feb 2009: Wins referendum that lifts term limits on elected officials

"In 2012 there will be presidential elections, and unless God decides otherwise, unless the people decide otherwise, this soldier is already a candidate."
Crowds of the president's supporters filled in the streets, letting off fireworks, waving red flags and honking car horns.
The BBC's Will Grant in the Venezuelan capital, Caracas, says this was the kind of strong confirmation of his socialist agenda at the polls that Mr Chavez had been seeking.
More than 11 million voters out of almost 17 million who were eligible took part in the referendum, said the head of the electoral body, Tibisay Lucena.
Election observers, who included representatives from Latin American nations, European Parliament deputies and European academics, said the ballot had been free and fair.
Opposition figures said they would not contest the result but they said victory had been achieved thanks to huge government funding and blanket state television coverage.
Under existing constitutional rules, the president was limited to two six-year terms in office, which meant that Mr Chavez would have had to leave the presidency in three years' time.
A proposal to end presidential term limits was one of a package of 69 constitutional changes narrowly rejected in a referendum in late 2007.

Kissing feels so pleasurable due to hormone surge

clipped from www.telegraph.co.uk Kissing feels so pleasurable due to hormone surge, find scientists The reason that kissing feels so pleasurable is that sparks a surge of hormones in our brains, according to new research. Couples who share a passionate kiss this Valentine's Day will enjoy sensations of relaxation and excitement because of a complex series of chemical processes, as well as their love for their partners. The study showed that women need more than just a kiss to experience the same chemical high as men - with additional features such as a romantic atmosphere of dimmed lights and mood music also required. Wendy Hill, professor of psychology at Lafayette College, Pennsylvania began the research to find out why the mundane physical activity of rubbing lips can elicit such a gratifying emotional response. kissing reduced the levels of cortisol, a stress hormone, in both sexes But levels of oxytocin, a hormone linked to social bonding that they expected to be boosted by kissing, only rose among the men

The Bible is to blame for the devastation of the planet

David Attenborough on Genesis

clipped from www.independent.co.uk By Steve Connor, Science editor Saturday, 31 January 2009 He has romped with gorillas, turned his back on grizzly bears and found himself knee-deep in suffocating bat dung. After decades of getting to know the furthest-flung corners of the world – and its inhabitants – Sir David Attenborough has vented his ire on the Bible for promoting the belief that man has complete dominion over the Earth. Sir David, probably the best-loved broadcaster and certainly the most distinguished television naturalist, has blamed the Book of Genesis for many environmental problems, from the burning down of tropical rainforests to the extinction of species. On the eve of a BBC1 documentary on the life of Charles Darwin and his theory of evolution, Sir David has criticised the centuries-old idea running through the Judaeo-Christian tradition which assumes God gave the Earth to man to exploit and use in whatever way he saw fit in order to populate the world.
