Would You Sign a Love Contract?

Worth Mentioning

Whitney Houston's funeral will be on TV. Her publicist confirmed yesterday that the funeral from New Hope Baptist Church in Newark will be available for television and web streaming. 1500 celebrities and family members will attend the "invitation-only" memorial. No public memorial is planned.

Has Whitney's ex, Bobby Brown, been banned from the funeral? There reports that say Whitney's family is not allowing Bobby into Saturday's funeral because they're "not fond of him." They blame him for allegedly introducing Whitney to drugs during their 14-years together.

A man in his 40's was carried by stretcher out of a restaurant after eating a 6,000-calorie burger. He apparently had a heart attack after consuming the Triple Bypass Burger containing three slabs of mean, 12 bacon strips, cheese, red onion, sliced tomato, and 'unique special sauce'. The name of the restaurant: The Heart Attack Grill.  Hey, he was warned!

Buckle up -- gas prices are about to soar. The national average could be close to $4/gallon in a few months, and even higher in big cities like Chicago where prices could hit close to $5/gallon.

Good news if you were a HUGE fan of the NBC show Friday Night Lights -- the movie script is pretty much done. Next step, according to producer Peter Berg, is to get all the original actors on the same schedule. He told MTV News "... if we can get everyone in the same room at the same time, we all want to do it. We're not done with 'Friday Night Lights.'"

By the way, if you put your husband in the dog house for not getting you flowers on Valentine's Day, and didn't buy his excuse that the company forgot to deliver them, you should know that he's telling the truth. It turns out 1-800-FLOWERS left many customers in the dark on Valentines Day. Their customer service lines are packed and people are leaving nasty notes on Twitter. Thankfully the company has offered a "Get Out Of the Doghouse" web offer to help you out. Thanks, guys!

Sleeping With Your Co-Worker? Sign Here, Please

Would you sign a "Love Contract" if you started dating a co-worker? Forbes points out that "Love Contracts" are real and popping up in more and more offices. Here's what the typical contract might say (from Forbes):



(Name) and (Name) have notified the company that they entered into a consensual relationship on or about (date) and said relationship continues to this date. In addition, they have notified the Company of their marriage plans. Both acknowledge that their relationship has been and is completely welcome and consensual. (Name) and (Name) further acknowledge that they believe this consensual relationship was not and is not harassment, sexual or otherwise, nor was it in violation of any federal, state, or local law, regulation, or ordinance.

Would you, or HAVE you signed one of these? How long were you dating before you came clean? Was it you that approached them, or did they (after hearing rumors) approach you?
