| British Dating Site Focuses on Sexless Relationships
For anyone looking for sex, the Internet is often the first stop, with its array of dating sites and chat rooms devoted to the subject. It is probably the last place that those seeking a celibate relationship would consider looking. However, an online dating agency has been launched for those seeking intimacy without intercourse.

MySpace agrees to new safety measures
An official familiar with the multistate agreement said that MySpace, the huge online social networking Web site, has agreed to include several online protections and participate in a working group to develop age-verification and other technologies.

The agreement is scheduled to be announced today in Manhattan by attorneys general from New Jersey, North Carolina, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Ohio and New York.

Maybe it's this memory that is driving the fightback against bad food, and the entire food industry has to respond, including restaurateurs. More and more chefs are embracing seasonal foodstuffs and changing their dishes according to what's for sale at the market, and not what can be rummaged from the freezer or bought from the factory. So it was with nostalgic excitement that I set off for Hereford Road - which claims to be bringing simple British cuisine back to the menu - and hoping that its cooking was more imaginative than its name. I can't understand the current fashion for naming restaurants after roads.

Jessica Simpson gets physical in the new issue of InStyle, breaking out her trainer's plan to "get your best body now!" But she turns inward as well, telling the magazine for its November issue — which hits racks Friday (check out the full cover here) — that, "I was the princess in the fairy tale — then reality came crashing in, and I learned that isn't always how life works." She insisted that "I am in complete control of my life" after going through her divorce with Nick Lachey and, while she didn't call out ex-boyfriend John Mayer by name, she did reveal, "I've had my heart broken since my divorce. That's OK. I believe you fall in love more than once and get your heart broken more than once. Trust me, I have cried myself to sleep." ... Kanye West isn't exactly the kind of guy who needs an ego boost, but Jennifer Lopez and Pharrell puffed him up a bit anyway in recent interviews with MTV Europe.
