| Crush of the Week |
 |
Jude Law has been caught cheating on his twenty-three-year-old fiancée Sienna Miller with his children's nanny. Thank God at least one leading man is doing what he's supposed to: screwing everything that moves. Plus, as someone in our office mentioned, "nannies as a category have gotten a good resexualizing PR bump." And don't you know that Sadie Frost, who's had to watch the father of her three young children feign monogamy with Sienna lo these many months, feels fantastic? In one fell swoop, Jude has raised his perceived potency, glamorrized nannydom and pleased his ex-wife. And for that, he is our crush of the week. — Ada Calhoun

"Ada, You, and by extension your columns, are incredibly sexy. How do you do it?!" We always Google people who send us rhetorical fan letters. The first hit this one yielded: "FreeBSD-Security: Passwords in Jails." It's always good to have fans in the prison system. |
| We also got an invitation from someone named Leon to join MySpace. Leon's self-description: "I'm probably among the most laid back and fun people you'll ever meet." Who Leon would like to meet: "Now that I've got a girlfriend, we're BOTH looking for a bisexual nymphomaniac Ivy League fashion model with a wild side, a six-pack, and a great sense of humor." |
| That's what we in the biz call a banner week. |
