Could Lesbianism Have Saved Whitney Houston’s Life?

Could Lesbianism Have Saved Whitney Houston's Life?

There are now (and have always been) a lot of people mad at Bobby Brown. Mostly he is blamed for introducing Whitney Houston to a lifestyle filled with drugs and dispair. And now there’s a theory that would have tidily swept all that away if Whitney Houston had been allowed to stay in her lesbian relationship with Robyn Crawford. But that kind of revisionism never works. More »

Justin Timberlake Maybe Proposed To Jessica Biel?

Justin Timberlake Maybe Proposed To Jessica Biel?

Justin Timberlake has been dating Jessica Biel for almost five years. And despite the longevity of their relationship, I have still not been able to convince myself that they are in a real relationship. But if a tweet from an art gallery owner in Wyoming can be believed (and really, why not?) the two got engaged at The Amangani, a luxury resort in Wyoming where they’re currently staying.

And it must be fate, because this (Justin’s first (and potentially fake) engagement) took place just as his former flame Britney Spears started on the winding road toward her third (potentially fake) marriage. More »

So How’s That Post-Wedding Diet Going?

So How's That Post-Wedding Diet Going?

Going on a wedding diet was always a bit embarrassing for me. And yet I did it. And I’m glad I did. I even thought that it had permanently changed my eating habits for the better. But somehow, at just over two months of being married (we’re almost at the Kardashian watermark, y’all), that is not actually what’s happening.

There is something about the looming deadline of a wedding that helped me to keep my eating habits in order. A month ago I was convinced that continuing on my diet would be a piece of cake. And now? A piece of cake? Why, I don’t mind if I do. Be right back.

Kourtney And Kim Kardashian Think Nude Yoga Is An Excuse To Be Molested

Kourtney And Kim Kardashian Think Nude Yoga Is An Excuse To Be Molested

The Kardashians have a habit of confusing the simplest of tasks. And in tonight’s season premiere episode of Kourtney And Kim Take New York, the pair let the cameras into their home to film them taking a naked yoga class. Naked yoga, as you might expect, is “the practice of yoga without clothes.” Except, as Kim and Kourtney practice it, they wear clothes. And let their naked instructor rub his junk all over them instead. Of course!

Say Yes To The Mess: Be Thankful You’re Not Marrying Edward Cullen

Say Yes To The Mess: Be Thankful Youâre Not Marrying Edward Cullen

There are a lot of things that can go wrong on your wedding day, but at least you’re not marrying Edward Cullen.

Sure, there’s a possibility that you might screw up your marriage altogether. But you know what you should be thankful not having to worry about? Your fiance getting overly excited and devouring your wedding guests before the ceremony. Or him breaking your bones during your honeymoon. Or impregnating you with a half demon baby that eats its way out of your womb.

Congratulations! You’re not marrying a vampire. More »

Say Yes To The Mess: Should You Spend More Time Planning Your Wedding Or Your Marriage?

Say Yes To The Mess: Should You Spend More Time Planning Your Wedding Or Your Marriage?

Since announcing her divorce this week, Kim Kardashian has become America’s biggest example of how not to plan a marriage. There are celebrities who have had shorter nuptials, but Kim spent $10 million on her wedding, filmed the entire thing and made it a national event — only to have the marriage last 72 days. That’s kind of embarrassing — even by reality TV standards.

According to Kim, she got caught up in the “hoopla” of wedding planning. And while most of us don’t have a television network – or Kris Jenner – to answer to, that particular aspect of wedding planning can happen to anyone. More »

Say Yes To The Mess: I’m So Glad I Didn’t Marry Billy Crystal

Say Yes To The Mess: I'm So Glad I Didn't Marry Billy Crystal

I always cry at weddings. So it makes sense that I would cry so much at my own. I got married on October 8 (that is still so strange to type), and I started tearing up almost immediately upon entering the church. I cried during my entire walk down the aisle, and through half of our ceremony. And then when I took photos with my grandmother and during my dad’s speech. (They were tears of joy, I promise!) But that was just on the wedding day.

I’m an easy crier. But I surprised even myself with the number of times I teared up in the week leading up to the wedding. And even I couldn’t believe it when Billy Crystal made me cry.

It was two nights before the wedding, and I was watching When Harry Met Sally (for the second time that night.) I think the TNT movie channel was created for women working on mindless crafting projects. I was cutting and wrapping and organizing things for the weekend and half paying attention to the screen. But the second time I watched that scene where Harry professes his love to Sally, I started to cry and couldn’t stop.

In this case, I suddenly realized that I wasn’t marrying someone like Harry. And it made me absurdly happy. More »
