Internet Sites of the Week

1. Melissa Etheridge has a new girlfriend ( Tammy Lynn Michaels— Nicole on the now-defunct TV show Popular ) , a new book ( The Truth Is ... ) , and a new album ( Skin ) , so you might say she has a lot on her plate right now. The Melissa Etheridge Information Network ( www.melissaetheridge.com ) has all of the standard info you might expect in a musician's fan site ( e.g., discography and biography ) , but there are some truly interesting items. Check out the photos taken from the set of ME's newest video ( w/ Jennifer Aniston ) and find out about ticket availability for her upcoming shows. FYI: Melissa cancelled her Borders July 16 appearance due to the flu.

2. How would you like to look just like Brad Pitt? OK—you won't look JUST like him, but you can at least own the shades he wore in Fight Club. Hop on over to asSeenonScreen.com and buy items that look exactly like clothes that celebrities have worn. I kinda like the Komodo vest that's similar to the one Angelina Jolie wore in Tomb Raider—but not for myself, of course. On the other hand, you might want to skip the "Christina Sucks, Britney Swallows" T-shirt that Eminem sported.

3. Still looking for the boy or girl of your dreams? Visit Edwina on the Data Lounge ( www.edwina.com ) ; she's claimed to have made thousands of same-sex matches. Basically, it's a dating service that features matching profiles and controlled e-mail capability ( all for $7.98 a month ) . Good luck with the hunt!
