Why is our purity worth an incalculable amount when people used to sell their souls on Ebay for twenty bucks? (I swear it’s true, Ebay started prohibiting it a few years ago).

Many of my close friends are virgins, but they all have varying reasons for their decision. My friend Jenny, for instance, decided not to have sex until she graduated high school. She wanted to wait out of respect for her parents, in addition to various religious reasons. Once she got to college, however, she found that those reasons weren’t as important to her as they once were.

To many college-aged virgins, it’s not as much about being a virgin as it is to lose it to somebody that they actually care about. Sex in college, for the most part, is pretty casual. If you need any proof just go to a frat party and look around for ten minutes. Most of us would admit though, that we probably wouldn’t engage in one night stand-esque behavior if we hadn’t already been there, done that. Understandably, most girls that haven’t lost their virginity want to experience their first time with somebody they can trust. Not necessarily somebody they’re in love with, but somebody who will respect them and still act civilly to them after the deed is done.

So what is a girl to do if she’s a virgin but wants to have sex? I have friends that just decided to bite the bullet and go for it with a friendly stranger. Some regret it, some don’t; it all depends on their stance on the issue at the time. On the other hand, I know many girls that are waiting it out – not necessarily for marriage or for “the one” but just for a good guy they feel comfortable with. And hey, if you’re saving it for a later point in your life, more power to ya.

So what’s your stance on the issue? Is “getting it over with” something you’d consider (or done)? Did you lose your virginity to someone you loved?

Hit me up, yo.

Remember Michael Jackson? Yeah, the guy behind Thriller, the Free Willy Song and all those weird molestation charges. What ever happened to him?

He went broke, that’s what. And now the bank will be auctioning off over 2,000 of his belongings at his famous estate, Neverland Ranch. Auction items range from his jeweled white glove to the elaborate front gates of the ranch. Since his little amusement park of a house went into foreclosure, the entire property will be auctioned as well as all of Jackson’s belongings inside the house.

This is great news for everyone who has every wanted a piece of super creepy pop culture history! Just imagine what is hidden behind those gates. (Editor’s Note: Besides all the young children.) Here’s a list of things we think will be a part of the MJ auction.

1.)   An Adult Sized Rocking Horse:  It’s like the little one you used to play on as a kid, only with chains and whips and handcuffs attached. You know M.J. had a things for all thing childlike…with an adult twist. But that’s not all! We are pretty sure this lovely rocking horse will come with Michael’s  “toy” chest, too. What a steal!

2.)   His Nose:  His REAL nose. The one that wasn’t triangular…or white. This purchase will come in its very own airtight carrying case, as any exposure to the elements will cause this fragile antique to disintegrate.

3.)   The Infamous Facemask: Why did he wear that thing in the first place? Rumor was he used it to protect himself from other people’s germs, but I don’t know about that. I think it had more to do with covering up his drooling mouth in the presense of little children. Or just trying to be even creepier.

4.)   An Extravagant Collection of Juvenile Artwork: By this I mean both work done by and of juveniles. Red choo choo train? Check. Elaborate painting of MJ and the lost boys on a bear skin rug by the fire? Check!

5.)   Bubbles the Monkey: Michael really loved Bubbles and I don’t blame him; that chimp was adorable! I’m sure Michael was heartbroken when the little guy went to monkey heaven and I’m pretty confident Bubbles is stuffed and sitting in MJ’s bed right about now, spooning him as he says goodbye to all his favorite things.

And I can have him for my very own!

We’ll start the bidding at $100.

This past weekend at a celebrity memorabilia auction in Las Vegas, Larry Birkhead, opportunistic baby daddy extraordinaire, purchased some drawers once worn by the late hot mess Anna Nicole Smith in a Playboy spread.

Birkhead spent a reported $2800 on a pink bustier and white negligee with the intention of someday giving the items to he and Smith’s year-old daughter, Dannielynn. According to one report, Birkhead said he bought the items in the hope that they will someday help Dannielynn understand her mother’s life and that this was definitely NOT a stunt to ensure his F-List ass stays in the papers. For realzies, guys. Make sure you get my good side.

That poor, poor, poor, poor kid. First her mother and brother die, then she’s in the middle of the most sleazeball custody battle of the 21st century, now she’s gifted a piece of her mom’s history as a trashy soft-core porn star? If Dannielynn makes it to the age of fourteen without getting knocked up or becoming a crackhead, she deserves a Nobel Prize.
