11.15.10 Monday!

Woo Hoo...it's MONDAY! This is our last full week before a month of holiday madness beginning with Thanksgiving next week, so enjoy "normal" for one more week.

Today is "I Love to Write Day," which encourages folks to write anything -- a letter, a poem, a story -- anything. That's great as long as I can type it. My penmanship has gotten so bad that it looks like I went to med school. So go write!

Does THINKING about cheating count as...cheating?

If you suggest to your spouse that you want to see other people, is that enough to say you cheated? Why yes it is, if you're in Italy.

An Italian wife told her husband during a heart to heart conversation that she was interested in pursuing an "open marriage," meaning they both could see other people. He apparently did not like the idea. He didn't like it at all.

In fact, just talking about it was enough from him to file for an annulment. Of course, the court laughed it off and threw him out, right? Nope, they agreed! They agreed that just talking about cheating is...cheating.

No alimony for her. The highest Italian court also agreed with the lower court saying the mere mention of cheating is enough to pretend the marriage never took place.

So, think about it, if your spouse said they've been thinking about other people.... is that enough for you to walk, or enough for you to try and work through a huge problem?

Christmas party karaoke. That's something you'd never do, right? And then three drinks later you're screaming "Love Shack" into the mic. Before you jam the mic this holiday season, know these...

...The Five Crimes of Karaoke!

5. Working Out Relationship Issues Through Song.

4. Hogging the Mic with Showtunes

3. Letting Your Kids Hog the Mic

2. Joining a Stranger In a Duet - Uninvited

1. Singing the Same Song Someone Else Just Sang, But Better

Take THAT, Nick! A week after her ex-hubby, Nick Lachey, announced his engagement, Jessica Simpson matches with one of her own. Simpson's boyfriend of 5-months, Eric Johnson, proposed with a three-stone ring that features a central ruby flanked by two diamonds, according to People.com. Simpson was wearing the band at Dillard's in Kansas City on Saturday while promoting her clothing line. Sources say she looked really happy.

Speaking of engagements, LeAnn Rimes congratulated her ex-hubby, Dean Sheremet, after hearing he recently got engaged to photographer Sarah Silver. "Wishes for a life full of happiness," she tweeted. His engagement comes just a year after his separation from Rimes.

Singer Ne-Yo is a new daddy -- he and girlfriend, Monyetta Shaw, had a baby girl Friday night in Atlanta. "I've been in love before, but this feels like nothing I've ever felt...like I'm in love for the first time," said proud first-time daddy.

Not true -- reports ran wild across the web this weekend that John Travolta bolted out of Australia to be with his wife, Kelly, before she gave birth. Us Weekly confirms with the couple's rep that the "story is 100% false. She is not in labor." Rumor control #2: She is not having twins. "It's a wonderful idea," says Kelly, "but it's untrue. We are just having one."

Uh oh... Two of Jon and Kate's children were booted from their private school. Collin and Alexis, now 6, were expelled from their Pennsylvania school and are now being taught at home. A source told People.com that "the situation is being grossly overstated...the kids are going through a challenging time."

Washington's "Unstoppable" opened in second place making $23.3 million, and Robert Downey Jr's "Due Date" came in third.

The countdown is on to the HP7 Part 1. That's what they're calling the latest Potter flick that opens on the 19th.

Joke of the Day

A gentleman entered a busy florist shop that displayed a large sign that read “Say It with Flowers.”

“Wrap up one rose” he told the florist.

“Only one?” the florist asked.

“Just one,” the customer replied

“I’m a man of few words.”
