Make room for “The Player”
Move over, Fox and ABC, because UPN is tossing their hat into the reality television arena with the launching of its first reality dating series — The Player.
The Player, described by UPN as “sexy reality series set in the bling-bling world of mansions, cool cars, and VIP parties that follows a stunning Miami model named Dawn and her two girlfriends for eight weeks as they pit 13 self-described “players” against each other in a quest to be the last one standing.”
The object of the competition for these self-proclaimed “masters of the opposite sex” is to win over Dawn, with the approval of her girlfriends (in the style of last summer’s Cupid series which aired on UPN sister network CBS). However, the guys will be thrown into a variety of situations, with the possibility of sudden death eliminations.
It sounds just corny enough for me to tune in.
I’m going to put my money on Jason.

Breaking up for Dummies
Endings are never pretty…esepcially when it comes to matters of the heart.
Jon Platner from AskMen.com has outlined some guidelines to make it as painless as possible. Platner has written from a male perspective so I’ll try and throw in a few tips for the gents as well.
Anticipating how they’ll react is key. What’s the history between the teo of you? Have you done the deed yet? Has she threatened to boil your hamster if you break her heart? Does he own a half dozen rifles and claims he just shoots at empty pop cans?
Choose a course of action. If you think they can handle the blunt truth lay it out for them: ” I think I can do much better and the thought of kissing you isn’t appealing anymore.” For many this is too harsh so you may want to dial it down a notch and sprinkle it with sugar.

Pitt and Aniston buy movie rights
Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston have purchased the film rights to the book “The Time Traveler’s Wife.” by Audrey Niffenegger and are having it adapted into a screenplay.
Here is a book summary by Publisher’s Weekly that will help picture Brad and Jen in their roles:
“This clever and inventive tale works on three levels: as an intriguing science fiction concept, a realistic character study and a touching love story. Henry De Tamble is a Chicago librarian with “Chrono Displacement” disorder; at random times, he suddenly disappears without warning and finds himself in the past or future, usually at a time or place of importance in his life. This leads to some wonderful paradoxes. From his point of view, he first met his wife, Clare, when he was 28 and she was 20. She ran up to him exclaiming that she’d known him all her life. He, however, had never seen her before. But when he reaches his 40s, already married to Clare, he suddenly finds himself time travelling to Clare’s childhood and meeting her as a six-year-old.
