| Cheyenne Tozzi and Brandon Davis try luck in Melbourne
CHEYENNE Tozzi and her playboy beau Brandon Davis have hit more bad luck, after arriving in Melbourne for the Millions Main Event tournament at Crown Casino. For starters, it seems Davis can't seem to win a trick, after lucking out at Melbourne's poker tables. The US party boy flew south with Tozzi to buy into the tournament that kicks off on Thursday, but he turned up a day late to actually qualify. Heading to the exclusive Mahogany Room instead, the cards didn't fall much better for Davis or his gal pal, who won few friends among the hotel staff when the couple checked in. Sources tell Confidential the couple came with a list of demands at the neighbouring Crown Towers. Lobby spies say Tozzi was seen on Friday night ordering a Crown concierge to find her a charger for her mobile phone.

The Cut-and-Paste Personality
Mizrachi includes his own dating profile, advising men to use it as a guide. But at least 25 people on Match.com have stolen his lines, including: "I get a lot of women emailing me, (which is great for an ego boost)." One man uses Mr. Mizrachi's photo. A recent search on Match.com brought up more than 90 profiles with such lines as: "I want an opposite. A yin to my yang," or "You know that woman who is the first person on the dance floor at every party? That's me." They weren't even from real people. They were cribbed from sample profiles posted online at E-Cyrano.com by dating coach and profile writer Evan Marc Katz. "It just seems so short-sighted," says Mr. Katz, of Los Angeles. "Everybody steals the same lines so they are not original anymore." The Internet makes plagiarism anonymous and easy.

Auto Chrysler, GM Feel Effects of CAFE Updates
Despite the upgraded power and improved fuel economy, vehicles like the next generation Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300 will likely miss out on Hemi power. Instead, Chrysler is developing new "Phoenix" high-output V6 engine to take the place of the Hemi. The engines will feature dual overhead cams, variable valve timing and cylinder deactivation. Ranging-topping variants are likely to surpass 300 HP, like its competitors, and provide better fuel economy than its Hemi counterpart. When it comes to actual vehicle platforms, General Motors is already taking steps to comply with the update CAFE. The company originally planned to resurrect the Pontiac GTO -- again -- using the same underpinnings as the upcoming Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac G8. Those plans are now shelved. "I think (the Monaro/Pontiac GTO) is gone for now," said GM's Bob Lutz.
