After learning that my high school stint at McDonald’s wouldn’t get me a job at a mag, I worked as a freelance journalist for a few years. With much haggling and many annoying phone calls, I got a job at Cosmo! As web ed, no two days are the same – some days I’ll be at a video or photo shoot, others I’m interviewing celebs or updating myself on the latest goss (all for research purposes, obviously).
Apart from that, I have a healthy addiction to cupcakes, clutches and Christian Bale. I once watched a VH1 countdown of ‘The 50 Most Awesomely Bad Songs Ever’ and was proud to announce that I loved every last one of them. I’m very good at tripping over, talking too loud and saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. Oh … and in an acrostic poem that my friends wrote about me, the “e” in my name stood for “embarrassing.”

Sad times at Cosmo HQ
It's a sad day for the Cosmo team - we have to say goodbye to Jill (our senior designer), Janine (our contributing subeditor) and Jess (our deputy chief subeditor). With three girls leaving our offices, it's imperative that we hold three farewells to bid them adieu. We'll be celebrating in style, with lunch at the Arthouse to afternoon tea at Cosmo HQ, and finally, some karaoke tonight. We'll miss you, ladies!
And now, the news.
Jamie-Lynn Spears has given birth to a baby girl, named Maddie Briann. Prediction: by 2010, Maddie and her cousins Sean Preston and Jayden James will form a toddler pop supergroup. Seriously, y'all.
Reports are flooding the wires that Australia is now the world's most obese nation (having overtaken the US for the unwanted title). The reports show that 26 per cent of Australian adults are obese, compared to 25 per cent of Americans. The bottom line? 4 million Australians are obese.
On the flip side, an American man named Dennis Yohnka has made deadlines by losing 40 pounds (18 kilograms) in 50 days - by eating McDonald's salads. He says he was inspired by the film Supersize Me, in which documentary maker Morgan Spurlock spent 30 days eating nothing but McDonald's.
