When this celebrity checks into a hotel, he requests an entire floor, a private fitness studio, an extra-large stereo, and a PlayStation and a Nintendo as well. He not only likes to get his game on, but he likes his room so fresh and so clean. The entire floor's air-conditioning filters must be changed upon his arrival and door handles need to be disinfected every few hours. Does any of this ring a bell?

A Kevin Federline Search Engine? Give Me A Break

I'm not trying to be a K-Fed hater but this is just crazy. Now there's a Search with Kevin toolbar. That's right party people, signing up for this Yahoo! powered search engine will give you the chance to win 'cool' prizes from Kevin Federline every time you search.

Supposedly this tool bar is an attempt to reward users for their loyalty - ie gain users! The webmasters claim that you'll be "hooked once you try it." Hmmm, sounds like crack.

I'm not promising anything and I don't expect any of you to 'Search the web and win with Kevin', that is unless you are an adoring fan of K-Fed's and you want to show the former Mr. Britney Spears some support.

I know not everyone is pleased as punch that Valentine's Day has rolled around again, and for all you non-celebrators, I have entertaining and upsetting news. According to a survey commissioned by Samsung Telecommunications America about 11 percent of Americans say breaking up with a boyfriend or girlfriend via text message is okay.

Apparently, text message, instant message or e-mail and even social networking sites like MySpace and Facebook have become common places for an old fashioned (but very public) dumping. For more, just read more

Here's more:

It's art of a changing dating world where singles can avoid direct confrontation by crafting the traditional "Dear John/Jane" letter using advanced technology. Even pop star Britney Spears reportedly broke up with her soon-to-be-ex-husband Kevin Federline via a text message sent to his cellphone -- a message he read while taping an interview for a Canadian television show in November.

So what do you all think about these very public break up spots? Of course this news comes on the heels of a report that says romantic text use is on the rise, so it may be that people are just "living" more wired lives. Has anyone ever broken up with someone online or via a text message?
