I just want to thank each and everyone of you for making A Socialite's Life what it is today. Think of us as Star Magazine without having to pay for it. Or Entertainment Weekly, without all the confusing words.

Seriously, I've had a wonderful time bringing you A Socialite's Life, almost every weekday. We've grown this year from having about 500,000 visitors a month, to just over 3,000,000 visitors a month. Look for a few changes in 2006 - a little facelift, some new features, and more exciting contests. If you have any suggestions for us, drop us a line. You've been so good this last part of 2005, that we are going to open up non-registered commenting (you have the option) once again (we'll give it a January test run).

We'd also like to thank the other sites that have given us much love this year: Hollywood Tuna, Perez Hilton, City Rag, Egotastic, I Don't Like You In That Way, Dana's Dirt, goldenfiddle, Just Jared, Towleroad, Pop Candy, and Jossip.

I'd also like to give a little shout out to Mark Madden at Pittsburgh's ESPN radio 1250, for the recent mention! Kisses.

Look for us to return Tuesday, January 3, 2006. In the mean time be safe, and cheers!

They tend to be a little dry just by themselves.

A Missouri man has been charged with forcing a cell phone down his ex-girlfriend’s throat last week. Police in Kansas City say Marlon Brando Gill has been charged with felony assault.

According to court documents, Melinda Abell told detectives that Gill grabbed her by the mouth and shoved the cell phone until it became lodged in her throat. Surgeons had to remove it.

Police initially issued a statement saying Abell, 24, had swallowed the phone. A spokesman explained that investigators weren’t able to talk to her until after the surgery.

Early Friday, police in Blue Springs, Mo., responded to a call from Gill, who said Abell was having trouble breathing. Police arrived to find her with the phone lodged in her throat. Police were initially told that Gill wanted the phone and Abell tried to swallow it so that he could not get it.

Ah, what celebrities will put themselves through to see themselves in print. While the cigarette is suppose to butch up the pretty actor, the gelled up hair and white shoes without socks pretty much negate the butching up attempt.

Over maybe she's just covering her tracks.

Eva Longoria plans to file charges against the Texan traffic cop who ticketed her boyfriend, San Antonio Spur Tony Parker, on Christmas Eve.

She claims the officer’s behavior was uncalled for when he pulled her and the hoopster over for impeding traffic.

Not shockingly, the cop is currently under investigation for misconduct.

Longoria was apparently shocked and appalled after the officer accused her of making derogatory racial comments about him. He quoted Longoria as saying, “He’s Mexican, he probably just wants an autograph.”
