She wants to be the fattest woman...EVER?

Every girl has a dream. And Susanne Eman's dream is to be the fattest woman ... ever.
Susanne, a plus-size model from Arizona, is already over 700 pounds, but she's aiming for a whopping 1600 pounds.
Her doctor certainly isn't thrilled, but Susanne, who is unemployed and can't work because of her weight, has no plans of stopping.
The 32-year-old mother of two hopes to reach her dream weight in 10 years.
"The bigger I get, the better I feel," says Susanne. "I feel more confident and sexy. Why shouldn't I push the limits and see how fat I can get and stay healthy?"

Steve Jobs has stepped down.

It's official. Steve Jobs, the Apple co-founder and face behind such visionary products as the Mac computer, iPod, iPhone and iPad, stepped down as Apple CEO yesterday.
The move comes after Jobs took an extended medical leave earlier this year to deal with undisclosed health problems. Over the last decade, he's undergone surgery for pancreatic cancer and had a liver transplant.
In his resignation letter to Apple's board, Jobs wrote, "I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple's CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come."
Tim Cook has been named operations chief, replacing Jobs, who assumes the role of chairman of the board.
In related news, Sprint will join AT&T and Verizon as iPhone carriers when Apple's new device, expected to be called iPhone 5, is released in mid-October.

We lost 2 amazing songwriters this past weekend.

The music world lost two legendary songwriters yesterday with the deaths of Jerry Leiber and Nick Ashford. Both were part of iconic songwriting duos.
Leiber, the lyricist who teamed with Mike Stoller to write a library full of rock-era classics, including "Hound Dog," "Stand by Me," "Jailhouse Rock," "Kansas City," "On Broadway" and "Yakety Yak," died of cardiopulmonary failure at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. He was 78.
Ashford, who with his wife and partner Valerie Simpson, penned such Motown classics as "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," "You're All I Need to Get By" and "Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing," died of throat cancer in New York. He was 70.

Sheen is excited to watch is own funeral!

CHARLIE SHEEN SAYS HE'LL BE WATCHING HIS MEN FUNERAL
Ashton Kutcher and company have filmed the season premiere of Two and a Half Men, which begins with Charlie Harper's funeral -- and Charlie Sheen plans to watch every second of it.
The fired actor says, "I will be watching my fake funeral, attended by my fake ex-girlfriends, from my very, very real movie theater, with my very real hotties in tow."
How does Charlie bite it in the episode? According to TMZ, "Harper married Rose -- the neighbor/stalker he flew to Paris with last season -- but things went downhill quickly when she found him in the shower with another woman. In the episode, Rose speaks at the funeral and recounts what happened to Charlie, saying the day after the shower incident she and Charlie were waiting for a Paris subway when Charlie 'slipped' and the subway literally blew him apart in a 'meat explosion.'" It's implied Rose pushed him and got away with it.

J. Lo says Marc is "not good" for me!

Jennifer Lopez is opening up about her split from hubby Marc Anthony.

In an interview with Vanity Fair, she says, "Sometimes we don't realize that we are compromising ourselves. To understand that a person is not good for you, or that that person is not treating you in the right way, or that he is not doing the right thing for himself -- if I stay, then I am not doing the right thing for me." J. Lo adds, "I love myself enough to walk away from that now."

She says things went south when she returned to the spotlight. "We had the first three years of our marriage just for us. I wasn't working, it was mainly about him. Then we got pregnant. Then it became about the kids. And then I started working again." Jennifer said she and Marc fought about everything. "Marriage is tough. It's not going to be perfect....It's definitely challenging." This was Jennifer's third marriage.
