• Erica Albright

    Tech Buzz Erica Albright probably doesn't exist DOES exist, in a roundabout kind of way: those LiveJournal entries were actually (apparently) about someone called Jessica Alona.

Either way, Rooney Mara's very pretty! She will be playing Lisbeth Salander in the upcoming Dragon Tattoo movie, also based around the concept of a computer nerd who pisses everyone off.

The Winklevosses placed sixth in the Men's coxless pairs in the 2008 Beiging Olympics. They seem nice.
