Last week, we found ourselves wondering aloud whether we should date a guy who only communicated with us via text message. Should we go on a date with someone who can’t take the initiative to call us on the phone?

Then a friend wisely pointed out: if we never said yes to guys who asked us out via text, would we ever go on any dates at all? We agreed to accept it on a case by case basis. But if you draw the line at text messaging, what about emails or IMs? Those are the preferred modes of communication for online daters everywhere.

While some can afford to have strict dating rules, we generally just like to meet new people and go out, so we find ourselves being more lenient. How do you feel? Take our poll below and tell us: how do you like to be asked out?

It’s a girl for Top Chef hostess Padma Lakshmi. According to People, the model gave birth to Krishna Thea Lakshmi on Saturday. She told the magazine last month that she planned give her baby a traditional Indian name: “It will be after someone in my family, so don’t expect to see an Anglicized name — it will be a classically Indian Sanskrit name.”

Congrats to the happy family — including the father, whom Padma has declined to name.

Behold! Here is one of the submissions we received from readers who, like us, are so obsessed with celebrities that they sometimes draw them. In this case, they love The Notebook. (We think it’s a pretty good representation of the movie, at least the part where you start sobbing uncontrollably).

In case you hadn’t heard, we’re holding a Crushable celebrity art contest and winners get a sweet prizes. More details here.
