Twitter co-founder, and Square CEO and co-founder Jack Dorsey sat down with Charlie Rose yesterday (you can watch the full video clip here) to talk about the two companies he's developed as well as Facebook's $1 billion acquisition of Instagram and the "digital revolution." The entire interview is just under 18 minutes, and is worth a watch, but here are some of the highlights: As Square revealed yesterday, the payments company is now processing $5 billion in annual payments (or around $416 million in payments per month), which is up from $4 billion in annual payments in March. Dorsey says that Square is moving fast, and this year will be expanding internationally, both to local shops and larger merchants. "We want to be the point of sale for every merchant," he tells Rose.

Rosetta Stone Acquires Kid-Focused Language-Learning Startup GoGo Lingo

Rosetta Stone, for those unfamiliar, are the makers of the oft-advertised language learning software of the same name. The 20-year-old Virginia-based company went public in 2009, and today makes learning software for over 30 languages that is used in over 150 countries. Yet, in spite of its brand recognition, a number of translation and language-learning startups have begun to pop up with savvy online solutions, which has prompted Rosetta Stone to move to boost both its kid-friendly learning options and its digital distribution. In so doing, Rosetta Stone is today announcing that it has completed the acquisition of Los Angeles-based language learning startup, GoGo Lingo. Founded back in 2008 by Afsoun Yazdian, who developed GoGoLingo's proprietary "Playful Immersion" method while at Stanford, a language learning method designed to help kids ages 3 to 7 learn Spanish through implicit absorption.

Simon van Kempen Orgasmed During Birth of Son

There are times when we love our job. Hot case in point: when Heidi Klum nude photos hit the Internet.

There are also times when we'd prefer to be an airport baggage handler. Disgusting case in point: when we learn that Simon van Kempen had an orgasm while his wife gave birth.

This nugget came to our nauseating attention today, as an except from "Little Kids, Big City: Tales from a Real House in New York City" is making its way around the Internet.

The memoir, penned by Simon and Alex McCord in 2010, details the lives of the former Real Housewives of New York City cast members. In it, McCord writes of welcoming her first child into the world:

Once he was finally out of my body, I experienced a tsunami of endorphins that was almost orgasmic, and I understand completely the stories of women who have written about ecstatic birth. Simon was sitting behind me at the point of birth, and later, when we untangled ourselves, he discovered he’d actually ejaculated though hadn’t felt any of the normal lead-up to that.

Yes, this was published two years ago. But we first heard about it today and - we're very sorry - but we saw it as our mission to pass it along. You may now go deposit your lunch in the nearest toilet.

Yolanda Hadid Confirmed as New Real Housewife of Beverly Hills

We hope Yolanda Hadid has been practicing her table-throwing and insult-hurling... because the Dutch model has officially been cast on The Real Housewives of New Jersey!

The fourth wife of music executive David Foster, Hadid takes over for Camille Grammar, who was forced off the show last month. She has already started shooting season three and has known co-star Lisa Vanderpump for years.

"Yolanda is going to make an excellent addition to the cast and she can definitely hold her ground if the claws come out; she is no shrinking violet," a Real Housewives insider tells Radar Online.

Bravo has not yet announced a premiere date for season three, but insiders claim Taylor Armstrong and Kim Richards will both be phased out as filming goes on, with the former only receiving air time because she has a drinking problem.
