[Adrien Field meticulously applying his mascara] While our moms had “Days of our Lives” on their boob tubes to help get them through their monotony, our generation, raised largely online, has a new form of addiction. It’s called www.lookatme.com, and for many it’s become an outlet to showcase their every waking movement for everyone to follow. The official name for this genre of drama documentarians has yet to be pinned down, with possibilities ranging from live journaling, to blogging, to tumbling, to tweeting, to ‘lifecasting”….it’s all the same. And, as Kurt Vonnegut would say, we shouldn’t be embarrassed that we are drawn to these characters. Humans have always loved drama, after all…. More»

Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson are both single again, which means tabloids are buzzing over the possibility of a romantic rekindling. That would be….amazing! Newlyweds on DVD just isn’t the same as having new episodes every week, so we’d be totally game for a Newlyweds, Round 2, which got us thinking…if Nick and Jessica can give it another shot, is there hope for some of the other great couples who bit the dust? Click here for our list of couples we’d like to see back together….

• He’s BAAACK! So this happened around 2:10 of Jakob Lodwick’s latest Vimeo. Add this to the: What.was.he.thinking?! files.  This is what I will be showing my children when they ask how micro fame balls were created on the Internet in the early ’00s.  Also, can Jakob and Julia just get back together already and stop acting like they’re SOOO different?

• It’s the web-couple’s ultimate dilemma: To blog or not to blog…” Um, if this is your biggest dilemma as a couple, we think you have much bigger problems to address (remember this disaster?) Alas, the wacky kids in SXSW decided to create a he said/she said video on the topic at hand. [The Frisky]

Girls & Boys @ Webster Hall.  Okay before we discuss those individuals that feel the need to remove their shirts even though everyone else remains fully clothed (Jakob Lodwick this means you!), I need someone to explain to me the fact that Webster Hall is hosting both the Trash @ Webster Hall Party and the Girls & Boys @ Webster Hall party on the same night (Friday).  Am I missing something?

Jakob Lodwick a founder of Vimeo, but maybe better known as Julia Allison’s ex, took a LOOOOng break from blogging that started with a post on his reasoning why on June 26th last year.  Basically, he just couldn’t stand the “animals” that were out there devouring his every step (can’t say we can blame him).  Well, today, it seems the break is over.  With a post of just a photo of himself by a one Gray Scott (shown at left), this could mean we have loads more Lodwick in our future.  Had this happened earlier, he may have even made this year’s yearbook!
