  I found this article interesting because I believe in equality, and hope that the vote proves successful. The three qualities of newsworthiness that this article contains are importance/impact, timeliness, and conflict. The story is of importance, and has the potential to greatly impact many people, because the vote it's discussing may result in the allowance of same-sex couples to marry, and the extension of health and social benefits to these pairs. Should the vote be successful, hundreds of couples will be allotted rights equal to those of heterosexual couples. The article is timely, because the Senate decided just yesterday that this vote would be included in the May primaries. Finally, the article involves conflict between conservatives who are against the vote as a whole, and fear for its outcome, and supporters of gay rights, who are hoping for a positive outcome, and continuously battling for equality.

A Superior Court judge let a lawsuit seeking marriage for same-sex couples in New Jersey proceed, but she sharply pared down the number of allegations in the case against the state. If the law creating civil unions does not give same-sex couples the same protections as married heterosexual couples, it has to be examined as to whether it is constitutional, Mercer County Assignment Judge Linda Feinberg said during a hearing in Trenton this afternoon.

Consider it a warning sign when your life choices put you in the company of Britney Spears, Carmen Electra and Dennis Rodman . Less than three months after tying the knot in a lavish $10 million televised wedding, Kim Kardashian has already filed for divorce from Kris Humphries. But their whiplash romance won't set any records. -- other than for the most elaborate publicity stunt, that is. Rodman filed for an annulment nine days after wedding Electra in a Las Vegas ceremony, although those two crazy kids managed to make it work for another six months before officially splitting. Spears was married to childhood friend Jason Alexander for 55 hours before filing for an annulment.
