CIGNA Fingers & Sex Twitter

1. Staten Island woman Darleen Burbridge is blaming Bank of America for her husband's fatal heart attack, which she says was caused by the stress of dealing with their bad mortgage. Burbridge's lawyer says it would normally be difficult to hold Bank of America responsible for Mr. Burbridge's heart condition, except that his favorite restaurant just happened to be Bank of America's House of Stress and Donuts.

2. Hilda and Krikor Sarkisyan recently went to CIGNA's Philadelphia headquarters to protest the death of their daughter who was denied a liver transplant by the insurance company. The couple was stopped at the doors when a few company employees heckled them from a balcony, with one man giving them the finger. "I was very disappointed to learn of the behavior of one of our employees," said a CIGNA executive in a letter to the couple. "His time could have been better spent denying more procedures."

3. It was reported this week that radio host Rush Limbaugh has been invited to judge in the 2010 Miss America Pageant. Limbaugh says the contestants' political leanings won't affect his judging. Well... or so hopes a one-legged Miss Alabama.

4. A new website called IJustMadeLove.com let's users tell the world where they recently had sex and in what positions, with some people likening it to a "sex twitter." Users can even pinpoint the exact building since the site is powered by Google Maps. And, as theorized for years, Ann Coulter's house has been notably silent.

5. On Thursday, Tori Spelling sent out a critical tweet directed at Star Magazine after they released an article claiming the actress weighed only 95 pounds. The 90210 alum insists she weighs in at 107 pounds. And to be fair to Spelling, when her weight was recorded at 95 pounds, she was holding her acting credentials.

High five.
