The New York Times published an article on the revolutionary new website called Foursquare which (I am proud to say) I use a lot!

Susan Dominus who wrote the article used yours truly and some of my close friends (also fellow Foursquare users) for the photo accompanying the article.

National Cleavage Day is an annual celebration in South Africa.

It was started in 2002, and is held at the beginning of April every year. This year it falls on April 3 2009.

NCD has been sponsored by Wonderbra, Cosmopolitan and 5fm from Johannesburg. This year's events include a spoof "Vote for National Cleavage Day" campaign where "activists" photograph their own mock protests in support of NCD to win a vacation.

According to Wonderbra, National Cleavage Day is a celebration of women's independence and a reminder that they should be proud of their achievements and their appearance.

The day is intended to be cheeky and fun. Any money raised from bra sales and special events goes to The Sunflower Fund charity.

Many women support the National Day by displaying their cleavage and clothing retailers have joined in by supporting the associated charity.

Some of Courtney Love's online rants are now being brought out in a Los Angeles court (27 March 2009).

A fashion designer's libel and breach of contract lawsuit against the singer includes what she calls several "menacing and disturbing" statements posted on the Internet.

Austin, Texas-based Dawn Simorangkir (Sim-or-AHNG-ker), also known as Boudoir Queen, says Love never paid her for work done. She filed the lawsuit Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court.

The suit cites remarks from Love's Twitter and MySpace pages, and in the feedback section of Etsy.com. It said Love called Simorangkir a "nasty lying hosebag thief" and accused her of being a drug addict and a prostitute.

The charges include libel, invasion of privacy, infliction of emotional distress, breach of contract, and intentional interference with Simorangkir's business.

It all sounds like a pretty good reason to follow Courtney Love's twitter

Chen Min-kuang the manager of the Modern Toilet restaurant in Taiwan said that the restaurant is supposed to shock the senses, and it certainly does that by serving up food covered by poop-shaped dishes and placed upon toliet-shaped plates.

Customers sit on stylish toilets while eating meals placed upon a glass topped table made from washing basins.

Drinks are served in mini-urinal shaped vessels and both food and beverages are named after every excretion imaginable.

On paper Trump Entertainment has assets of $2.1 billion and debts of $1.74 billion which means that on paper it can cover its debts. The company missed a biannual $53.1 million interest payment due on Dec 1 and the company has decided to declare itself Bankrupt before the people that are owed the $1.74 billion ask for all their money back.

Press reports indicate that Donald's daughter Ivanka Trump is currently rich and beautiful.
