Keeping it simple today with a round-up of interesting tid-bits, news stories, and new sites across the Internets. Miss Dani Rosen is visiting L.A. this week, so I’m otherwise occupied trying to prove that I know where I’m going, and how to park once I get there.

• The New York Times highlights the trend of niche online dating. – Compatibility is rooted in like interests, so why waste your time trolling match.com and okcupid if there’s an entire site dedicated to people who prefer MAC’s to PC’s. This article breaks down the latest niche sites and explains the shift away from come-one-come-all search engines.

• A homeless man with a self-proclaimed golden radio voice went from unknown and unemployed to the voice of Kraft macaroni and cheese, IN TWO DAYS. Note: two days after that he went on to get arrested in an L.A. hotel room for something allegedly involving anger and his daughter. And I thought I was adjusting to life in L.A. quickly…

• As you have just got to know at this point, Oprah launched a television network. Meaning Mike and I have lost one more hour of our lives, every single week. This Oprah Behind The Scenes show situation is TELEVISION GOLD. DVR immediately.

• Divorce ends in felony charges for a man who snooped through his wife’s e-mail to discover she was having an affair. First, OUCH, then WOW, but ultimately Hhhmmm…

• Probably best to get on the wait list now for these adorable faux Birkin bags. It is very rare that something I covet from a fashion magazine costs $35. As such, I ordered the red one.

• Taylor and Jake surprisingly date, unsurprisingly split… I don’t like to go crazy with the celeb conspiracy theories (now that I’m one among them and all), but Taylor does have a new CD to push and Jake is in a new movie that just released its trailer.

• There is, according to my friend Nellie, one book to get you over a break-up, and this is it. Nellie is a serious woman with serious advice that she doesn’t dole out lightly. So when she brought up “It’s Called a Break-up Because It’s Broke” at the happy hour table last night I thought, good, my list for tomorrow was a little light.

• If you’re not familiar with hysterical, comedic singing duo Garfunkle & Oats please become so, quickly. One of their songs is titled, “Pregnant people are smug.” I think that’s enough of a sell.

• Dating site OKcupid has determined that “uglier” girls actually fare better in the online dating pool. That’s what the headlines I read essentially said. The truth is a little less dramatic, but no less interesting.

• Controversy over beloved chix restaurant Chick-fil-A’s treatment and opinion of homosexuals ends in this statement from the company’s CEO. Which kiiiind of sounds like, “sure, we’ll take money from gays…slash everyone.” I have a feeling this fight’s not over.

And that’s ten! Back Friday with a post requested by two readers via two e-mails on the very same day: The dilemma of the long-distance relationship…

’til then.
