Ypulse Essentials: Broken Heart Dolls, Reebok Wants Teens To 'Talk Krazy,' TMZ On MySpace

Note from Anastasia: I'm off to Washington, D.C. for a forum at the National Endowment for the Arts tomorrow. Hope to be able to blog about it next week. For now it's secret. I can't log into Bloglines for some reason, so if I missed big news today, email me or send a tip and I'll post tomorrow! Also, we have one volunteer spot left for Boston…

If you love Ugly Dolls… (you'll love these Broken Heart Dolls. The press release says the new line is for teens and tweens. The creator says, "The middle and high school years are a landmine of self-doubt, and what girl couldn't use a super-snuggly pal who understands their insecurities." I still could use one!)

- Levis has a monster in its pants (and it does a funny dance. That's a B52s reference. This viral is definitely getting controversial buzz)
