Voting Advice For the Cosmo Girl

If you need help in deciding to vote for, CosmoGirl offers a handy quiz—so you can pick a candidate in the same way you can decide "Which celeb pooch are you?" and "Are you addicted to gossip?" (Yes!) Sample candidate-choosing question: "What is most important to you: getting national health care, ending the war in Iraq, cutting federal taxes, or defending the U.S. against terrorism?" Remember, you can only pick one! I picked the most annoying answers I could find, and wound up with Rudy Giuliani: "He was named Time Magazine's Person of the Year in 2001... This socially liberal Republican is your presidential match!" Or you could go the old-fashioned route and just go with whoever your Dad is voting for. [CosmoGirl]

BREAKING: Lizzie Grubman Can Vote?

Did Lizzie Grubman... lie? The celebrity publicist is a convicted felon, and New York doesn't allow incarcerated felons or parolees to vote. After parole, though, they're fine! They can vote any time they like! And according to a cursory Google search, Grubman received five years' probation for running over those people in the Hamptons. She was sentenced in 2002. It's 2008. So it seems like she could vote this year, if she really wanted to! Someone tell us if we're wrong here, we can't bear to imagine the possibility that Lizzie and Page Six misled us.

Then all you have to do is make a couple informed decisions! More »
