Thou shalt not commit adultery. And thou also shalt not use Facebook.
That's the edict from a New Jersey pastor who feels the two often go together.
The Rev. Cedric Miller said 20 couples among the 1,100 members of his Living Word Christian Fellowship Church have run into marital trouble over the last six months after a spouse connected with an ex-flame over Facebook.
Because of the problems, he is ordering about 50 married church officials to delete their accounts with the social networking site or resign from their leadership positions.
"What happens is someone from yesterday surfaces, it leads to conversations and there have been physical meet-ups. The temptation is just too great."
Facebook did not immediately respond to a before-hours interview request left at its California offices.
Why do two colours, put one next to the other, sing? Can one really explain this? No.

Lots of heartthrobs, from "Twilight" hunks to "Glee" hotties, were dazzling at the 15th annual GQ Men of the Year party which was held at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles on Wednesday, November 17. Taylor Lautner attended the event with co-star Kellan Lutz while Cory Monteith, Chord Overstreet, Chris Colfer, Kevin McHale and Mark Salling made "Glee" attendances.
Lautner looked dapper in a heather gray, notch lapel suit, white checkered shirt and burgundy tie, all by Dolce & Gabbana. Lutz hit the gala in Simon Spurr and rocked darker locks than his Emmett Cullen character in "Twilight" saga. Beside the "Twilight" and "Glee" clans, Drake, Milo Ventimiglia, Mark Ruffalo, Kid Rock, Joe Manganiello, Johnny Knoxville, David Arquette, Douglas Booth and B.J. Novak also supported the event.

The adorable now-20-year-old former “Jerry Maguire” child star (most known for his famous line, “Do you know that the human head weighs eight pounds?”), stopped by Access Hollywood Live on Wednesday to chat about his upcoming projects and his days working with Tom Cruise and Renee Zellweger.
“[Tom and Renee] were both just awesome to work with,” Jonathan told Access Hollywood Live’s Billy Bush and Kit Hoover, of shooting “Jerry Maguire” with the film icons. “I’m just so thankful that was my first experience working was with such a great cast.
“Tom was always just having fun, every day was just so much fun,” he continued. “They were all just excited to be at work — it was such a fun atmosphere.”
Jonathan Lipnicki, who was a mere 5-years-old while filming the hit sports movie, said that despite his young age, he was able to recite his lines without help.
“I memorized everything actually,” Jonathan told Billy and Kit. “I went over all the scenes with my mom and memorized everything.”
Though “Jerry Maguire” made him an instant star, the role also threatened to pigeonhole the actor into limited acting opportunities.
“I think a lot of people don’t know that I grew up,” Jonathan laughed. “They think I’m five! I was fortunate enough to work a lot after [“Jerry Maguire”], and then I decided to take off time to really just go to school.”
Jonathan resumed a somewhat “normal” childhood — something he is “really grateful” for and credits to his parents.
“I went to public school — went to prom, did homecoming, everything,” Jonathan told Billy and Kit. “It’s great because now I can come back as a different person. I’ve learned a lot and I can come back and have kind of a new career.”
The young star is returning to the big screen alongside veteran actor James Caan in “For The Love Of Money.” The drama also stars another former child star, “Terminator 2: Judgment Day’s” Edward Furlong, and is slated for release sometime in 2011.
The SoHo apartment where actor Heath Ledger lived — and tragically died of an overdose in 2008 — is unofficially back on the market for $5 million.
Sources who have toured the 4,400-square-foot, fourth-floor unit at 421 Broome St. say it has been gut-renovated but still needs a lot of work. It has been open to potential buyers for at least a week and could be officially listed within days. The condo is in a 1920 cast-iron industrial building sold for $15 million to Donald Burns of Palm Beach Mortgage managment in a foreclosure auction last year.

November 18th, 1985 marked the debut of Calvin and Hobbes in a grand total of 35 newspapers.
The story centred around an imaginative and rambunctious boy named Calvin and his tiger Hobbes. While Hobbes is viewed as a stuffed tiger by the other people in Calvin's world, we mainly see him through Calvin's perspective, as Calvin's best buddy and partner in adventure.
The strip quickly gained popularity and was published in newspapers around the world when it ended on December 31st, 1995.
Joan Baez, the folk singing legend who once performed before half a million people at Woodstock, took a lonely tumble while climbing down from a tree house behind her Woodside home Wednesday. She was taken to the emergency room at Stanford Hospital, where it was determined she had suffered only minor injuries.
A spokeswoman said Baez was "resting comfortably" Thursday.
Baez, 69, was at the forefront of a musical movement that began in the coffee houses of Greenwich Village in the early 1960s, with hit songs such as "Joe Hill" and "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down." She performed the first cover of a song written by a young unknown named Bob Dylan, with whom she was involved romantically from 1962 to 1965.
The Sixties songbird had the platform built in an oak tree so she could sleep next to actual birds, who nest in the branches around her. "I sleep in a tree all summer long," Baez told an English blogger in 2008. "I like to see the sky and the stars. I climb up on a ladder, with ropes and things. The birds are right there in the morning. Sometimes they're flying so close to my head I can feel the wind. Those things are heaven to me."
Silent movie era child star Marie Osborne Yeats has died just six days after celebrating her 99th birthday. The actress and Hollywood costume supervisor, nicknamed Baby Marie Osborne, became the youngest leading lady in Tinseltown when she starred in films like "Little Mary Sunshine".
Yeats died at her home in San Clemente, California on November 11. She played a boy in her first film when director Henry King needed a kid for his 1915 movie "The Maid of The Wind". He discovered her at the age of three.
Impressed with his find, King went on to shape her career, writing 'Little Mary Sunshine" just for her. Her success launched a range of Baby Marie dolls, but her career was short-lived - her final starring role came in 1919 in the comedy "Miss Gingersnap".
She returned to Hollywood in the 1930s and 1940s and occasionally worked as a stand-in actress for Ginger Rogers, Deanna Durbin and Betty Hutton. But she found her true calling in the 1950s when she took a job as a costumer and worked on films like "Spartacus", "The Way We Were" and "Mame". She also supervised Elizabeth Taylor’s wardrobe in "Cleopatra".

According to EW, FOX's hit show GLEE will tackle Michael Jackson’s classic 'Thriller' for its much talked about Superbowl episode. Like so many others, the song will get the GLEE treatment and will be performed as a mash-up, however the second song has not yet been picked. The episode is also set to feature music by the Black Eyed Peas, Lady Antebellum, and Katy Perry.
According to Oh No They Didin't, "The post-Superbowl episode will instead keep with the evening's sports theme and focus on the local football championship and Sue Sylvester's cheerleading regionals (the "Thriller" mash-up will be played during halftime of the onscreen pigskin game). Basically, it will be a classic episode of Glee, but just bigger and better."

After successfully directing the first "Twilight" film, Catherine Hardwicke is reviving a classic fairytale with her "Red Riding Hood". And now some scenes from the film, which is due 07 April , 2011 in Australia, have been made available for viewing pleasure in a form of teaser trailer which is released via Apple.
Amanda Seyfried takes the lead role of Valerie who is torn between two men. She is in love with a brooding outsider, Peter (Shiloh Fernandez), but her parents have arranged for her to marry the wealthy Henry (Max Irons). Valerie and Peter are planning to run away when they learn that Valerie's older sister has been killed by the werewolf that prowls the dark forest surrounding their village.
As the wolf, which is offered a monthly animal sacrifice by villagers, has upped the stakes by taking a human life under a blood red moon, the people call on famed werewolf hunter, Father Solomon (Gary Oldman), to help them kill the wolf. But Solomon's arrival brings unintended consequences as he warns that the wolf, who takes human form by day, could be any one of them. As the death toll rises with each moon, Valerie begins to suspect that the werewolf could be someone she loves.
Olivia Newton-John performed a special duet with rescued Chilean miner Edison Pena during her concert in Santiago on Monday night, November 15. Music fan Pena hit the headlines when he asked for Elvis Presley music to be pumped through to the trapped miners underground to help calm their nerves, and he has since become a celebrity.
After running the New York Marathon and appearing on TV chat shows in America, he returned home and received a standing ovation when he hit the stage with Newton-John on Monday. The odd couple performed "Summer Nights" from the musical "Grease".
The story of Chilean miners has been all over the web. Just earlier this week, there was rumour mentioning that Brad Pitt wants to make a big-screen adaptation to the miner story.
ROCK OF AGES, the critically acclaimed, five-time Tony Award® nominated Broadway musical, which continues to play to packed houses on Broadway, across the United States in its first national tour and in Toronto, will open at the Comedy Theatre in Melbourne, Australia on Saturday, April 9, 2011.
Following a massive casting search across Australia and New Zealand with the final audition in New York for the role of Drew, two brilliant young performers have been cast as the lead characters in this high energy 80's Broadway love story.
"There was little doubt having seen ROCK OF AGES on Broadway that the leading role of Drew was going to be one of the most challenging roles in musical theatre to cast. After casting the entire company we continued our search for Drew for another two months, when in Melbourne, having heard about ROCK OF AGES, Justin Burford walked in, auditioned and then flew to New York for the final audition with the Broadway creative team and producing group - we had found our Drew!" said Producer Rodney Rigby.
