Can we blame the terrorists for the demise of Christy Turlington and Ed Burns' relationship?
Turlington does. She tells Vogue magazine the love between her and Burns was undoubtedly a casualty of the events of 9/11.
Due to be married just a few weeks after the attacks, the couple could not agree on how to proceed.
Burns wanted to postpone or relocate their destination wedding because he and his family were afraid to travel for the ceremony. Turlington, who calls herself a "true Capricornian control freak," wasn't having it. She felt that, no matter what, the show must go on.
"No matter where we chose [to get married], some people would still have to travel, so if this was our reason for postponing, then we would have to wait until it was safe for everyone," the model tells the magazine. Or not get married at all.
Wait, does this mean the terrorists won?

According to Peoplenews.com, Pepsi bigwigs are rumored to have decided they could get a bigger publicity bounce for their bucks if they sponsored a reality TV show in which the winner got sent into space than if they simply sent the earnest 'N Sync-er.
That really 'N Stinks for poor Lance.

Zippergate, the musical? The London Mirror reports that Russian composer Vitaly Okorokov is working on an erotic musical based on the relationship between Bill Clinton and that woman Monica Lewinsky. The musical will, however, transfer the action from the White House to the Kremlin and it will take place between Vladimir Putin and a woman named "Masha Lewinskonova," who undoubtedly sings a great thong, er, song.
