Vincent Gallo's sperm is apparently up for sale on eBay. From the description: "Mr. Gallo is 5'11" and has blue eyes. There are no known genetic deformities in his ancestry (no cripples) and no history of congenital diseases. If you have seen The Brown Bunny, you know the potential size of the genitals if it's a boy." |

We've never put any stock in that whole concept that you can "turn" your kid gay, but if anything can, our money's on this new book by the Queer Eye guy. |

Mighty Muff iPod sleeves. And other Muff products, because if you can't have enough vagina simulations to keep your stuff in. |

Under development: a speaker that allows the deaf to feel music. "While it certainly is promising for that market, I thought of another use that your readers might also clue into. Something tells me my wife might enjoy it and a couple of carefully selected CDs as a sexy Christmas gift. " That's our readers for you: Deaf, schmeff — did you say it vibrates? |

Blaine v. Ken: the showdown! Spoilers from Gwynne, our office manager: "Ken will re-enter the picture with all kinds of heartfelt declarations of love for Barbie, but he'll be foiled at every turn by smooth-talking Blaine. Barbie will become conflicted and turn to Skipper for advice, and Skipper will take her out drinking, then make out with drunk Barbie. Blaine will see them making out and call Barbie a whore, at which point she'll go running to Ken who loves her just the way she is and it will be a happy ending for everyone except Blaine, who'll have to go crying to one of the Bratz." |

Us Weekly The Enemy: That controlling megastar boyfriend, who will make you "robotic and zombified." Beware, or he will make you stop smoking Marlboro Lights and learn to knit. |

In Touch The Enemy: That alcoholic boyfriend who will impregnate you even though you're over the hill. (We hereby disagree with In Touch on Vince Vaughn's assessment of the delightful Vince Vaughn.) |

Star The Enemy: Man-stealing whores like Paris Hilton, who is apparently having lots of sex on the beach with Mary-Kate's very tall boyfriend. "It wasn't all canoodling," Star says to reassure the scorned Olsen. The sex-crazed pair was also "splashing around." Gee, thanks. |

If the "fear of change" reference is to the Personals, I want to be on record as saying they still suck and are still hurting your brand name.

*running in the streets throwing confetti*
DAILY?!?! hooray!!!
Scanner's going daily???!! I must say, I was worried when you brought up changes related to my favorite section of Nerve (staying true to the scaredy-cat stereotype of Scanner-readers), but going daily? You made my month, and you will continually make my day from here on out. Thank you to the deity who made this possible.
