There’s a simple reason for that: I have no love life.

But, honestly, I spend more of my day trying to puzzle out Jen’s romantic entanglements than I spend trying to figure out why I am Man Repellent. Seriously I should try to patent me and sell me to the military. They could just put me on the front lines and men would run in the opposite direction. I’m a more valuable military asset than Twitter!

What was I talking about?

Oh, yeah. Jen. After being spotted with Gerard Butler, she was once again with John Mayer at the Sunset Tower hotel.

The two left together and got into an SUV.

What is it with Jennifer and the Sunset Tower hotel these days?

They must sell some really good weed there or something.

Sigh.

The U.S. government continues to have its security efforts threatened by the evil forces of … Twitter?

The US Army has posted a report citing certain mobile and web technologies that could be used to enable terrorism. One chapter, entitled “Potential for Terrorist Use of Twitter,” observes that the Los Angeles earthquakes in July were reported by users of the microblogging site long before established news outlets had time to cover it, writes the BBC.

Perceiving Twitter’s ability to publish anything, instantly, as threatening, US intelligence expressed concern that terrorists could use Twitter to plan and organize quicker attacks. This September, for example, activists used Twitter to organize protests at the Republican National Convention.

“Twitter is already used by some members to post and support extremist ideologies and perspectives,” the report ominously states. Thus, “[terrorists] could theoretically use Twitter social networking in the US as an operational tool.”

A Nielsen survey ranked Twitter one of the fastest-growing social networks year over year. Popular with early adopters in the tech blogosphere, the site drew partisan interest when Republican Representative John Culberson (TX) used it to vent frustrations over rules forbidding Congressmen from linking to certain sites on their official webpages.

Bloggers also flock to Twitter to discuss politics in real-time, and to liveblog the Presidential and Vice Presidential debates.

Other technologies mentioned in the US Army terrorism report include VOIP (which can make it difficult to trace malicious calls), Facebook, MySpace, certain gaming networks, and satellite navigation and mapping tools.

Personally, I only use Twitter to fight the war against my own productivity. You can follow me in my daily battles here.

This is wrong on so many levels.

Hilary’s just not cut out for this kind of video. It feels like a cheap Madonna rip-off. Or, worse, like a cheap Ashlee Simpson rip-off.

What do you guys think?

Ahhhhhhhhhhh ha ha ha ha ha ha!

What ever happened to Jessica Simpson’s comedy, “Major Movie Star”?

The “Private Benjamin” – like film has never opened here in the United States. But on October 9th, “Major Movie Star” debuted to top box office in… Russia.

Next up for a movie described by one of its participants as “maybe one of the worst films ever made”: a November premiere in Bulgaria.

So far there’s no U.S. release date set. Nor is there one for any other country in which English is the primary language.

OMG.

What was its competition in Russia? Watching the bread lines?

“Honestly, I’m a wreck. Every time I see a camera, I’m a wreck. I don’t tend to react as though ‘I have to do this, it’s my job.’ I am reacting as a woman who is 5-foot-1 whose space is being invaded by a bunch of men whose aggression I can literally feel. In L.A. it is even worse because they are running red lights behind you, and I worry all the time about something terrible happening, someone getting hurt because of me, how I could ever possibly live with that. I can’t imagine what it would be like to have kids in the back seat and have to go through this and pretend for their sake that you are not scared.”
