In a move that could ignite&nbsp;a lexicographic uproar the likes of which hasn't&nbsp;been seen since , the folks at Merriam-Webster have <a href=http://www.saclouisvuittonhomme.com/louis-vuitton-large-shawl-scarf-16>Louis Vuitton Large Shawl Scarf</a> added over 5,000 new words to the Fifth Edition of The Official Scrabble Players Dictionary, including millennial vocab favorites like "Selfie," "Chillax" and "Hashtag." It's enough to turn an old school Scrabble fan into a zealous, yet conflicted "frenemy"&nbsp; a word you can now play for a minimum of 15 points.

Washington (CNN) 鈥?Mitt Romney is Jersey bound.

The former Republican presidential nominee will team up with New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie for a fundraiser benefiting the New Jersey Republican Party next month, sources familiar with the plans told CNN. The event is billed as a birthday celebration for Christie, who turns 52 next month.

The September 10 fundraiser 鈥?co-hosted by Christie allies Bill Palatucci, New Jersey GOP Chairman Sam Raia, state Sen. Tom Kean and Assemblyman Jon Bramnick 鈥?will take place in East Brunswick. Romney is listed as a "special guest." It鈥檚 the latest high-profile political move for Romney, who is asserting himself on the 2014 campaign trail as a surrogate in <a href=http://www.buycelinebags.com>Celine Bags Outlet</a> key Senate and House races, and burnishing his reputation among Republicans in the process. Romney鈥檚 appearance alongside the New Jersey governor, who is laying groundwork for a 2016 presidential bid, could also signal to Romney鈥檚 network of financial supporters that Christie remains a viable choice for the Republican nomination in the wake of the Bridgegate scandal that engulfed his administration earlier this year and continues to bubble beneath the surface. It's not the first time the two men have shared a stage together this year - Christie was invited to address a Romney-hosted donor retreat in Park City <a href=http://www.buycelinebags.com>Celine Outlet Store</a> in June. While the Republican donor class hasn't fled from Christie en masse, the scandal tarnished his his early frontrunner status and wounded Christie's golden boy status among establishment money-men. The birthday fundraiser might also heal some bad blood left over from 2012. Christie and Romney 鈥?and their respective loyalists 鈥?had a sometimes fraught relationship at times during the presidential race. Christie publicly mulled running against Romney for the GOP nomination, and later infuriated some Republicans just <a href=http://www.buycelinebags.com>Celine UK</a> days before the election by teaming up with President Obama for a tour of New Jersey storm damage after Hurricane Sandy, giving the president some important bipartisan luster in full view of the national media.
