		<description><![CDATA[The unlikely friends are apparently so close that Mindy Cohn has been named godmother to twins Knox and Vivienne. (As an aside here, I must add: “You’re 44 years-old.  Mindy?  I think it’s time for a grown-up name.”)  She does have that sort of motherly vibe, although apparently has no children of her own.  I guess that doesn’t matter when your BFFs are bearing more fruit than the state of Florida.  So Mindy has the godmother honors in case something tragic happens while St. Angie does her saintly things.  Most recently, they gave her a diamond  ring that is some ridiculous 5-or-6-carat piece that she proudly wears.  Most women would clothesline their own grandmothers to get a diamond from Brad Pitt, but Mindy remains as nonchalant as a person can while dragging a rock that size around.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[And suddenly we all feel a little more vulnerable, afraid that everything from our real birth years to credit card and banking information is being accessed by cyber-creeps.  And those of us who still rock it old-school and prefer talking on the phone to texting are still left exposed to attack because we wanted to be among the first to know when Soundgarden released their tour dates.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Also, Akon is a Muslim, and says he has never had alcohol or done drugs.  His lyrics say something different.  Maybe they’re just words to songs.  One wonders, however, how to collaborate with Lil Wayne and NOT be high.  He says that his faith helps guide him in the way he treats others.  Was he thinking of Muhammed when he wrote “Smack That”?  He also says that it was his three-year stint for grand theft auto that inspired the title to the album “Locked Up”.  Court documents show no such jail term.  Akon was later quoted by another source as saying that he had served several small sentences TOTALING three years, and that the other reporter misunderstood.  He may or may not have been a drug dealer.   Who really knows?  As far as this kid is concerned, who cares how old he is, whether he served time, or what his real full name is?  It’s not like the rap community is chock full of angels and virgins.  He’s making it work for him.  It’s a beacon of hope for those of us who really enjoy keeping our dates-of-birth to ourselves.

Lie on, brother.  Lie on.

		<description><![CDATA[Diamond thievery is definitely the trendy crime these days. And it's not only for cross-dressers, you know. Anyone can be a diamond thief-if he picks the right place to steal from. Everyone knows from television that pawn shops and mini-marts all have high-tech surveillance. Heck, the AM/PM across the street has a security monitor in HDTV, should someone want to make off with a $4 box of Chips Ahoy. It seems that the industry most lagging behind in the security area is jewelers.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It used to be that women would wait patiently for Prince Charming to ride up on his white horse, kneel in front of her, and present her with a beautiful engagement ring.  Evidently, this still does, sometimes, happen.  Maybe the white horse is a Harley-Davidson and he doesn’t kneel so much as nervously shift from [...]]]></description>
