A Socialite's Library: For the Love of Letters CONTEST

Letters 01

Samara O'Shea is single handedly attempting to bring letter writing back. In her edgy book about letter writing in the 21st century, she gives us tops on how to write for different purposes: love letters, erotic letters (I needed to open a window reading that chapter), break-up letters - even cover letters! For the Love of Letters publishes actual examples of letters, emails, and even yearbook signatures, making the reader laugh, cringe, and relate to everything.

Letters-02Samara (whose name rhymes with Sahara, for those of you that are interested) has been writing letters all her life. Now she's offering you her services!

"This Life Thing" Contest Winners

Congratulations to all the winners of Lizzie Post's book How Do You Work This Life Thing. We got overwhelming response, but we could only chose the best, most embarrassing moments as our winners. Boy, did we have some doozies!

Here are some of our favorites...

Graduating college, mom came up to help pack and move. So, I did some pre-packing of my own, hididng things that were not appropriate for "mom's eyes." Several months later, back in my hometown, I decided to take up Pilates. So, first class ever, throw on my old gym shoes and saunter in. Who knew you didn't wear shoes? So I kick them off and seat myself on the mat. A few minutes later, with my butt up in the air and my feet over my head I start to hear snickering. I mean, I know my butt is big, but c'mon, thats why I was in the class. When I finally put my rear back down, I look at my mat and low and behold, a condom (still in its wrapper) is sitting right there in front of me (in clear view while my butt was up in the air). Obviously I had thought it a good idea to throw the thing deep in the tennis shoe so mom wouldn't find out, only to have it reappear months later when I wore the shoes again and it fell out on my pilates mat. 2 options, act totally offended that someone would put a condom on my mat and make a scene, or (the option I chose) discreetly shove it under my mat and hope the hot guy two rows back didn't notice. Pilates was clearly not the class for me and my condoms, I did not return the following week.

I was visiting a male friend I had made in England while I was on vacation. He and I had been emailing and chatting for months and were going on a trip and spending a few days together while I was over. We ended up sharing a bed for a few nights and one morning we ended up making love, or attempting to. I had been so dehydrated on the 3-week vacation because it was summer, super hot and I just wasn't spending my savings on bottled water, so in the midst of our passion, right when I was about to climax, I got a charley horse in my calf. I mean right when I was about to... I started flailing about in the bed and yelling, and not in the sexy, passionate way either.
If that's not bad enough, he patiently spent another ten minutes or so getting me back there, and as soon as I was about to climax again, you guessed it. Another charley horse. More flailing and yelling and sitting up in bed grabbing my calf and bouncing around trying to get it to stop.
Needless to say we gave up after that. We never tried again, and now he's got a girlfriend, so I blame it on the charley horse. I have never been more mortified.

More cringe-worthy stories sent in by readers after the jump.

Will The Beckham's "Kick" The Bucket?

http://aslcdn.celebuzz.com/images/2007/04/beckhams_041507_02-thumb.jpg

Yes, that is my lame attempt at a soccer joke.

There is much speculation that the Beckhams' marriage will hit the rocks over the footballer's famously wandering eye when the couple eventually settle in California. But in reality the couple are living almost separate lives. Victoria is spending less time than ever at the family home in Madrid.

Instead, she is busying herself in LA or visiting the UK -so much so that David has taken to marking their days together on his calendar.

'The truth is the Beckhams are leading pretty separate lives and David isn't pleased about it,' says a friend of the couple.

The Mail on Sunday.

Birkhead Gone Wild

Larry Birkhead and his hair had quite a week. Not only did DNA prove he's Dannielynn's babydaddy, but he also partied like a rock star in the Bahamas. According to Page Six:

Our spy reports Birkhead was out at several clubs around Grand Bahama Island "in between court sessions" and was the center of the ladies' attention. "He was having the time of his life," our source said. "And loved the attention."

Yes, I believe we have another K-Fed in the making, but instead of freeloading off his rich wife, this guy freeloads off his baby. Now that's class!




R.I.P Don Ho

Donho041507My favorite Hawaiian entertainer (okay, he's the only one I know besides those idiots on Maui Fever) and Tiny Bubbles crooner Don Ho passed away on Saturday, April 14 of heart failure. He was 76.

Ho had suffered with heart problems for the past several years, and had a pacemaker installed last fall. In 2005, he underwent an experimental stem cell procedure on his ailing heart in Thailand. Promoter Tom Moffatt said he attended Ho's final show Thursday and Ho received a standing ovation. Afterward, Ho reminisced about his many years in Waikiki and talked about how Judy Garland sang with him one night. "Don was in great spirits," he said. "He was fine."

Our thoughts go out to Ho's wife Haumea and his 10 children.




America Ferrera Ain't Starving, Y'all

America Ferrera 041407 01

Everybody's favorite pretend ugly girl, America Ferrera says that she doesn't have what it takes to be like her skinny Hollywood peers:

"Even if I wanted to be anorexic, I just don't have what it takes," Ferrera tells W magazine. "After four hours of being anorexic, I'd be like, 'It's been four whole hours! Feed me!"
I like to imagine America saying that in her best Cookie Monster voice while surrounded by Oreos and Twinkies and Moon Pies, shoving as much in her mouth as she can fit.

Prince William And Kate Middleton Are Over And Out!

http://aslcdn.celebuzz.com/images/2007/04/kate_william_041407_02-thumb.jpghttp://aslcdn.celebuzz.com/images/2007/04/kate_william_041407_01-thumb.jpg

Some say it was the pressures of the media spotlight, some say it was because he was too involved with his new army life, others say it was because he grabbed some snaggly looking girl's boob at a bar last week. I say it's because she finally realized he looks like a beaver.

According to The Sun:

Last month the pair seemed happier than ever as they skied down a Swiss mountain together, stopping only to kiss and hold each other close. From the outside all the signs seemed to suggest the young lovers were just weeks away from announcing their intention to wed. But in reality, it is understood they had been on a downward spiral since Kate saw the 24-year-old future king passing out from the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in December last year. Friends say William, now a fully-fledged officer in the Blues and Royals, has engrossed himself in Army life -- preferring to go out drinking with his colleagues than drive back to London to see Kate.
