For those of you who enjoyed watching the antics of MTV's Real World Las Vegas' Trishelle and would like to go on a date with her, here's your chance.

--I'm not sure which is more strange, auctioning off a date with yourself, or bidding on it.

Ok. I know this poem has been out for a couple of days, so I'm a little late in posting on it, but I couldn't resist. It's a poem Britney Spears posted on her subscription-only website about her Fijian honeymoon with Kevin Federline. It seriously made me laugh out loud. I think first graders could have done a better job.

A honeymoon at last, to get away from it all
My assistant Fe gave me the call.

I remember it well, as she was smilin'
She said it was called Turtle Island.

I packed my bags light and quick,
Then grabbed my pink dress & favorite lipstick.

We hopped on a plane and took our flight
I slept really well, all through the night.

As we arrive, I turn and look out the door,
People are greeting us right at the shore.

A meal, a shower and some ice cream
Then I threw my man down, you know what I mean!

Magical nights filled with stars
Silence is golden, no running cars.

Private dinners, romantic fires
Little piece of heaven, whatever your heart desires.

Friendly "hellos" and never goodbyes
When you're having fun, oh, how time flies!

As we sit and prepare to make our part
I thank you, Turtle Island, with all my heart!

Knitting: not your grandmother's hobby anymore:

Catherine Zeta Jones is spending her spare time knitting ponchos as Christmas presents.

The Welsh star has finished 15 and plans 20 more, reports the New York Post.

Each poncho has an original design and she has even inserted labels which read "Personally made by CZJ."

The CZJ poncho will be featured on the cover of December's Harper's Bazaar magazine.

As a Colts fan, I say, "'Bout time!"

Peyton Manning is so hot, he's got his own Wheaties box.

About 230 Oaks Academy students, wearing Wheaties T-shirts and waving the orange "Breakfast of Champions" cereal boxes, cheered as the record-setting Indianapolis Colts quarterback teamed with his favorite receiver Marvin Harrison to unveil the Manning box cover on Tuesday morning at the downtown elementary school.

The 2003 NFL co-MVP, with a league-high 31 touchdown passes, is on pace to shatter Dan Marino's 1984 record of 48.

I'm not sure I'd let these two tend to a houseplant, let alone children:

Reality television stars Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie dropped in at a local day care to change a few diapers, baby-sit the residents and generally bring a West Coast stir to Wilmington.

The two, who were in town filming Fox's "The Simple Life 3" and had been spotted a day earlier at a Taco Bell, arrived at Small Wonder Daycare center Wednesday morning, helping load children onto a bus and pushing others in strollers along Greenhill Avenue.

"The kids were singing and Paris was doing a little dance," said Candi Creese, a nurse who works across the street at an obstetrics and gynecology clinic.

Ain't no mountain high enough for Cruise:

Tom Cruise will attempt to climb 29,000 feet to the top of Mount Everest once shooting wraps on Mission: Impossible III. The daredevil actor, 42, wants to fulfill a childhood dream by hiking up the Himalayan mountain after filming is completed on the action sequel.

Cruise says, "I really enjoy climbing - and Everest is the ultimate challenge. Life's an adventure. And the adventure is what you make it. It's every little boy's dream to climb Everest. I believe I can make that dream become a reality."

David Beckham's latest million-dollar gift is sure to make the earth move for Victoria.

Becks is apparently planning to buy Victoria "the world's most expensive sex toy", according to the Daily Star.

The diamond-encrusted "toy" is the creation of Pete Stringfellow.

--Umm, not sure what to say about this one. This might just replace diamonds as a girl's best friend.

Tommy Lee is an equal opportunity ho:

Tommy Lee says he prefers to have sex with plump women.

The former Motley Crue drummer, ex-husband of Heather Locklear and Pamela Anderson, admits he finds heavy-set females most alluring because they make very willing bed partners.

He said: "They're fun. I like all sizes and shapes in women, they just seem wilder. It's almost like they don't get to play a lot, or something. I'm not sure what that is. Lee insists he employs an "equal opportunities" attitude when he's selecting his women."

If this is true, I'll be sad:

Hollywood power couple Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell have reportedly split after a 21-year romance.

Friends have revealed the couple's relationship has "lost its zip" in recent years and Hawn has moved on to realize her dream of traveling the world. In recent years, the 59-year-old Buddhist actress has been spending more and more time in India, where she often meets up with Pakistani cricket legend Imran Khan - a friendship that has reportedly upset Russell.

According to sources on the set of Russell's new movie Sky High, the actor isn't taking the split well. One tells America's Globe tabloid that the movie star has been surly on the set, arguing with cast mates Kelly Preston and Lynda Carter. The source tells the tabloid, "Kurt seemed totally out of control and, instead of letting up when he saw Kelly's reaction, he just kept going until she finally burst into tears."

--I actually thought they had some serious staying power. And by the way, what the hell is a cricket legend?

And in case there was any doubt that Becks was a true metrosexual...

Victoria Beckham has revealed she smothers husband David in face cream at bedtime.

Pregnant Posh, 30, said: "David is very much a new man and is totally in touch with his feminine side.

"He loves having his face and nails done. And every night we cover ourselves in moisturiser, eye creams, face creams - you name it."

Now THAT'S a legal bill!

The bill for defending the diva of domesticity is in, and Martha Stewart is hoping her company will pick up the tab. Stewart has asked Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia to pay a $3.7 million legal bill for defending a securities fraud count filed against her, company documents reveal.

"Sleep with me, or else!"

Liza Minnelli's bodyguard has accused the star of forcing him to have sex with her in order to keep his job.

M'Hammed Soumayah allegations are detailed in a $100 million recently unsealed lawsuit against the Oscar-winning star. In the lawsuit, Soumayah, 56, accuses Minnelli of assault and battery, breach of contract, withholding payment for services rendered and sexual harassment.

--Not that I condone this, but if you had David Gest at home waiting for you, what would you do?

Business schools around the nation are including tips from "The Apprentice" in their MBA programs.

The show and its star, billionaire Donald Trump, have been used in the past to spark debate among students. But now professors are using fundamentals from the NBC hit in the lecture halls.

"Business as a discipline and an academic study area is on the rise," Denise Schoenbachler, chair of Northern Illinois University's marketing department told The New York Post in Monday editions. "And things like this that are innovative and unique get students excited."

For example, students in Schoenbachler's Marketing Apprentice class competed for scholarship money by selling football tickets and raising money for troops in Iraq.

Trump himself has said he's impressed with his reality show's classroom appeal at schools such as Babson College in Massachusetts, Southern Methodist University in Dallas and Ohio State University in Columbus.
