* Well excuse my Brenda Walsh and pardon me a Kelly Taylor! Do you know what today’s date means? 9.02.10 Day! In honour, let’s all head on over to the Peach Pit, steal our best friend’s boyfriend, and then throw on some REM, shall we?

* We’ve got the big brains on board! Cambridge has added the Twilgiht series to the list of books to be taught in the University’s Children’s Literature Studies Program. The four Twilight books have sold over one million copies. Note to Cambridge: add Twilight to your business program as well.

* A contestant has given me some faith in beauty pageants. The current Miss Colombia, Natalia Navarro, is being pressured by beauty pageant followers in Colombia to have a nose job before she competes for the title of Miss Universe.

Apparently Jordin has yet to enroll in the Jude Law Punch a Pap School of Anger Mismanagement.
