Are You Really Alone for the Holidays?
Posted by Vicky Lane Categories: Advice, Humor, Marriage, Relationships, Sex,
It’s that time of year again and this year, Hubby and I are solo in a new city. This is the first year that either of us have not spent the holidays with our families. We finally made the tough decision to try and save some money and have a “romantic” Christmas together.
Only a few years ago, I considered myself alone for the holidays. Actually, many years in a row it always seemed that whatever relationship I was in ended right before the season. “Oh great, alone for Christmas again,” I would say. The worst thing of course was going to see the family and having to hear that dreaded question: “So, dating anyone?” UGH. I wanted to punch that person regardless of whether we had the same last name or not. The first few years that question made me so uncomfortable that I would lie and say, “yes.” Maybe I would make someone up or maybe I would extend my previous relationship and just pretend we never broke up. Either way it made me feel slightly better. If you are in that phase of your life, hey, there’s nothing wrong with a little white lie. Just make sure you are prepared to answer any follow-up questions.

Etiquette For Texting In The Dating Arena
Posted by Marla Martenson Categories: Advice, Relationships,
As a matchmaker, I frequently get feedback from frustrated clients telling me that their date canceled on them by sending them a text message, or even “broke up with them” through text. What has happened to our society that we are all hiding behind e-mails and text messages? We seem to be afraid or too busy to pick up the phone and add a personal touch - a human touch. Sometimes, people say they sent a text to cancel a date, but the person on the receiving end never got it, so they were sitting there at the restaurant waiting. How frustrating and humiliating.
When I think back to the “olden” days—the 70s—before cell phones, answering machines, e-mail, et cetera, how did people manage to get together? They took the time to connect, to court, to make sure that the other person got the message. How did we get so busy? We have all of the modern conveniences, more than we ever could have imagined, yet, we have no time to even pick up the phone to let someone know we can’t make it or will be late. I suggest that we all take a deep breath and get back to what is important - people, connections, and caring about other people’s feelings.
Joey Fatone Talks About Timberlake and Biel
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Music, Hook-ups,
Although Justin Timberlake‘s known for a string of long-term commitments, his current relationship has people wondering: “Could this be the one?”
Well - If you were to ask former Joey Fatone, his answer would be “Yes.”
In an interview with Us Magazine, the former ‘N Sync member said he’s getting good vibes about Justin and Jessica Biel. “I think he finally met somebody that he wants to spend the rest of his life.”
But don’t go reading anything into what Fatone’s saying. Even though he thinks the two are doing well, that doesn’t necessarily mean the pair will be walking down the aisle anytime soon. “You know what, I think he is just playing it by ear. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it,” Fatone said.
Given Timberlake’s high-profile breakups with Britney and Cameron, I’d say that would probably be the smart way to go.

Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson Get Matching Tattoos
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Movies, Music, Television, Hook-ups, Style, Parties, Rumors,
Samantha Ronson and “best friend” Lindsay Lohan were seen arriving at LAX with matching tattoos last Wednesday. While some may see this as innocent and very BFF-like, I hope that the party-hopping pair haven’t forgotten that we haven’t forgotten about what happened on Diddy’s yacht last May.
Either way, the cute couple were spotted with identical black hearts on their left hands. No pictures just yet, but photographers did note that the heart was originally a white heart tattoo of Lindsay’s that she recently got outlined in black—Samantha merely had an identical one inked in the same spot altogether. They also noticed that Lindsay added a red star to her hand to mirror those on Ronson’s arm.
Why don’t these two go public already! Just make it official and we’ll all be happy! Who knows, perhaps even the paparazzi will stop tailing you once they’ve finally received an answer to their burning question.

Shia LaBeouf’s Passenger Isn’t Dating Shia
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Movies, Television, Break-ups, Hook-ups, Drunk, Legal Issues, Meltdowns, Parties, Rivalries,
By the looks of it, Shia LaBeouf’s DUI charges may not be the last of his problems concerning this accident.
Days have gone by with all of us wondering who was in the passenger’s seat? Well, turns out it’s his Transformers 2 costar Isabel Lucas. The problem is that Lucas isn’t dating Shia—she’s dating Entourage star Adrian Grenier!
Lucas, who has been dating Grenier since February, may be in a bit of a relationship difficulty, considering sources are saying Grenier isn’t happy with the fact that his girlfriend was out partying with her gorgeous costar in the wee hours of the Hollywood morning. When asked to comment on how Lucas was feeling post-crash, Grenier became a bit quick-tempered and refused to comment.
It may have been a slightly bad call on Isabel’s part, seeing as her “friend” has a misdemeanor on his hands for drunk driving.

Vanessa Hudgens Gives Out Relationship Advice
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Television,
Don’t you just love it when 19-year-olds claim to know what makes a relationship work?
Now that her scandal has officially become so last year, teen actress Vanessa Hudgens has started to feel a bit more comfortable talking about herself and her boyfriend, Zac Efron.
In the upcoming issue of CosmoGIRL!, the High School Musical actress tells her female fans that romances shouldn’t be a struggle. “If you really love someone, you shouldn’t have to work at it.” (In other words: trying to figure out how to hold a camera while posing nude might not be necessary.) “You finish each others’ sentences and have the same sense of humor.”

Drew Barrymore Talks About Justin Long…Relationship Now Doomed
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Hook-ups,
Just when I thought Drew Barrymore had finally found someone to grow old with - she had to go and screw it all up. She actually started talking about it.
Now, it’s not like I’m expecting her to deny her relationship with Justin Long - that would be like Jennifer Lopez skirting questions about her pregnancy. But we all know how it goes. The minute one starts talking about their new boyfriend publicly, an untimely breakup usually follows. And it’s not like Barrymore has had much luck when it comes to significant others. Let’s name just a few: first hubby Jeremy Thomas, second hubby Tom Green, Strokes drummer Fabrizio Moretti, director Spike Jonze and Hole guitarist Eric Erlandson.
So after viewing her recent string of mushy photos with Long, I was really hoping Barrymore would finally get the whole love thing figured out. Who knows? Maybe she still could.

Ryan Phillippe Says Abbie Cornish Not to Blame
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Divorce, Hook-ups, Rumors,
Actor Ryan Phillippe would like to set the record straight. He wants me
everyone to know that his “friendship” with Abbie Cornish had nothing to do with his break from Reese Witherspoon.
Speculation about a relationship between Phillippe, 33, and Cornish, 25, began when the two worked together on Stop-Loss. (That film is scheduled to be released March 28.) In a interview with W, Ryan doesn’t deny ever becoming involved with the Australian actress, only that it wasn’t the reason for his public split.
“It was unfair for her to be called the names that she was, because it wasn’t about that. I don’t think an outside person can ever cause a divorce. I had difficulties in my relationship, and in my marriage, long before I ever met her.”
Well, duh. If you become involved with another woman - it’s clearly because you were the problem to begin with.
