When it comes to Internet dating, you never know if the other person is gonna be a plumber, an actress or someone who wants you to put the lotion in the basket -- but one lucky man found himself an actress ... and he's about to put a ring on it.
We've learned a guy named Jaime Mendez hit the Internet hookup jackpot when he met actress Essence Atkins -- who started her career on "The Cosby Show" -- on Match.com back in February 2008.
Essence tells us she liked the website because she didn't have to post a picture of herself -- and ended up sending Jamie a message on Valentine's Day because they were 97% compatible.
The two were engaged one year later and are set to get hitched on Sept 26.
Beat that, eHarmony.

Gyms suck. You always have to wait for the machine you want, then it smells, and the guys who pose in the mirror all day kinda creep you out. You could buy your own equipment and work out at home, but without guidance, who knows what kind of freaky body you'll create? Fear not.
The folks at Hammacher Schlemmer have found a way for you to work out at home while getting all the personal training you need. Utilizing a 17" LCD screen that connects to the Internet, you can download guidance from a personal trainer. The system shows the weights you should be using, and the correct way to perform up to 120 different exercises! And no sweaty fellow patrons!
Once you've got your routine down, you can start the real fun; you can watch your favorite YouTube videos, check out breaking news on TMZ.com, watch "Lost" or "The Office" on their respective websites -- all while you workout without the neck strain associated with that TV you have mounted on the ceiling.
So pop a Red Bull and get ready to sweat, Dwight Schrute style!

That sexually explicit, curse-word laden outgoing voicemail message you have on your cell phone might be appropriate for your friends to hear, but it's probably not so perfect for your family pastor. You could go the safe route and leave a bland message, but is it really worth it to up your cell phone's lame factor just to please your grandparents?
Well, a new feature called YouMail will help you keep those old fogies in your life appeased while allowing you to create a voicemail that truly showcases your personality. With YouMail, users can create a unique outgoing voicemail messages for every single contact in your phone -- including friends, family or the boss that calls at 4am to see if you can come in ten minutes early. The service even allows you to check your voicemail by way of the web. But the coolest feature has the DITCHMAIL feature, which will actually hang up on unwanted callers after your custom greeting for them is played. Perfect for that ex, friend who has too much time on their hands, or evil arch-enemies. Imagine this, "Hey Dad, thanks a lot for chopping my hand off, jerk. Hope your Deathstar explodes ... click."
If you act quickly, the company is offering free, yeah we said free, accounts for beta users. But before you all rush out and get your very own free YouMail account, remember that beta software is actually test software that's not quite ready for general use. So when your mom gets that naughty voicemail message intended for your girlfriend/boyfriend, don't blame TMZ.
