We are all familiar with red-hot celebrities, but when two famous people in their own right get together and form a romantic relationship, many would consider them to be a power couple. But what exactly makes someone a power couple? Well if you tune into Oxygen's 25iest Power Couples tonight at 10 p.m. on the Oxygen Network, Molly and me will tell you just what we think it is that makes people like Will and Jada, Brad and Angelina, and Ellen and Portia Hollywood power couples! But in the meantime, do tell, what qualities do you think make someone a power couple?

Sorority President Commissions $900K Wax Statue of Herself

It might have been OK to waste funds when former Chicago Housing Authority comptroller Barbara McKinzie worked in government, but her sorority sisters at Alpha Kappa Alpha are not having it! McKinzie, who is the current national president of the oldest predominantly black sorority, is being sued by AKA members for misusing funds. One of the alleged offenses? Spending $900,000 on a wax statue of herself.

Moving from the bizarre to the blatant, McKinzie is also accused of racking up $400,000 in personal expenses and setting up a $4,000 a month pension for herself for after she leaves office.

McKinzie denies the allegations, saying: "The malicious allegations leveled against AKA by former leaders are based on mischaracterizations and fabrications not befitting our ideals of sisterhood, ethics and service."

If the allegations are true, perhaps McKinzie thought she had to live up to the lifestyle enjoyed by some of the sorority's famous alumnae. That list includes: Alicia Keys, Jada Pinkett Smith, Eleanor Roosevelt, Maya Angelou, Gladys Knight, Rosa Parks, and Coretta Scott King.

Good Idea or Bad Idea: Fantasizing Together

People think differently about so many issues, and when it comes to the bedroom, things can get very complicated and very painful. I read somewhere that Will and Jada Pinkett Smith feel comfortable dicussing with each their sexual fantasies, but they're also very clear about monogamy and commitment.

What do you think? Assuming you both agree about the topic, does it seem -- in general -- like a good idea or a bad idea to discuss with your partner the people you fantasize about, be them celebrities or neighbors?
