After a nine month courtship and a multi-million dollar, media event, star-studded wedding, Kim Kardashian is ending her 72 day MARRIAGE. The cynical side of us says “Another narcissistic Hollywood starlet is throwing a tantrum called ‘filing-for-divorce-after-one-minute-of-marriage’ - so what?” But the concerned side of us must ask this question: Why do we worship at the [...]

A recent Yahoo Personals poll found that single women want to date George Clooney while single men want to date Jessica Alba. Reports have it that George is dating a woman who served cocktails at his table recently, so maybe these fantasy dates are not that far out of reach after all. The fantasy, of course, is that [...]

It took way too long, but she finally did it. This season’s Bachelorette, Jillian, dumped this season’s worst bachelor ever, Wes-the-snake. That she finally sent him packing is no great surprise. What is shocking is the notion that there is a woman in Austin who will take him back (per his tasteless comment at the end that [...]

This season’s bachelorette, Jillian, has a tough job sorting out the good from the not so good. She doesn’t have the insight that we do, such as the clips of narcissistic Wes preening about his musical career. Still, we can learn from watching her journey as we hope for a good outcome. He’s not ready. Jillian opted [...]

Dear Jillian: You had to let Ed go because when the chips were down, he bolted. Yes, his job is important, but you nailed it when you advised him to put his future relationship first, work second. He either wasn’t that into you, or he’s afraid of commitment – either way, it was crumbs, not [...]

Fox news reported that Lance Armstrong broke up with Kate Hudson over the weekend because she was “too needy.” If the report is true – and who knows since the source is an associate at his foundation and not the man himself - let’s look at what it really means. Men don’t break up over neediness. [...]

My husband and I saw Sex and the City the movie Saturday night. If you’re a fan of the show, you’ll love it! It was laugh-out-loud funny at times, and there were moments that brought tears to our eyes (yes, his too!). My favorite movies are the ones that make me laugh and make me cry – and [...]

My prediction of who would get the final rose was off – Matt Grant chose Shayne Lamas in the final episode of this season’s The Bachelor. He proposed and gave her a stunning ring, sealing their relationship for the next stage. At this point, this couple might be tempted to rush into a relationship (see Chapter [...]

Tonight on abc’s The Bachelor, we’ll find out who our British hunk Matt chose, Shayne or Chelsea. My prediction: Chelsea, and here’s why. While Matt has had an ongoing infatuation with Shayne, I think her age will be a barrier, and his family will probably underscore the reality that she is very young. Also, I don’t think [...]

After a romantic connection on their solo date last week, Holly had every reason to believe that this season’s Bachelor Matt would choose her at the end of the 2 on 1 date this week. But her hopes were dashed and she left in tears. “I was 100% me, and that’s not what he wants,” she [...]

I’m a little bit concerned about this season’s bachelor, Matt, and his relationship chooser. Last week, Matt and the bachelorettes frolicked in Las Vegas while consuming far too much alcohol. In fact, alcohol consumption has been a main feature in many of this season’s scenarios. It seemed that all Matt got in return for the [...]

On Tuesday’s After The Final Rose Ceremony show, this season’s bachelor Brad Womack bravely tried to explain why he failed to choose one of the two women he so ardently courted. Neither Jenni nor DeAnna walked away with any real answers, as Brad’s behavior during their dates and his words at the end of it all [...]

In the season’s final episode, Brad the Bachelor surprised everyone when he chose . . . no one! That’s right – he passed up the opportunity to marry (or at least propose to) either sweet Jenni or dynamic Deanna. The question is: why? Maybe he felt too much pressure at the last moment. He picked [...]
