A la Brangelina, the recently rumored-to-be-split couple makes a public show of affection.

Just three days ago, we reported the news (first announced by the Chicago Sun Times) that Jesus Luz had dumped Madonna. But now The New York Daily News' Gatecrasher is reporting that the breakup rumors were false, and that Madge is not yet ready to stop playing with her Brazilian boy toy.

Earlier this week, the May-December duo were spotted at the London premiere party for A Single Man (how's that for irony?) snuggling and snogging all night long. Although sources say that Jesus left the shindig early, there didn't seem to be any trouble in … Read More

Whitney, Susan Boyle, Jen: these female celebs are happy without romance. Go girls!

As Whitney Houston proved this week in her interview with Oprah Winfrey, not all women have to be taken to live their happy best. When you have this much love from your fans, sometimes we wonder, who actually needs romance?!

Whitney Houston Her comeback stuns us all, as did her candid revelations to Oprah. She said Bobby Brown was emotionally abusive and that she allowed their marriage to hold back her best work. After seven years behind closed doors, Whitney's old-school-meets-what's-cool new album I Look to You is number one on the charts this week—and our fave … Read More

Patrick Swayze's battle highlighted love with Lisa, his "soulmate" and wife of 34 years.

Patrick Swayze battled pancreatic cancer for nearly two years before his passing on September 14, 2009.

The Dirty Dancing and Ghost star was a mega-heartthrob to women around the world, but he was well known to have eyes only for one woman: his wife of 34 years, Lisa Niemi.

Because it's awash in a sea of mediocrity, we sometimes forget that there are some good things on the interwebs. I've scoured the entire nets (it took a while) for the best of love and relationships today so you wouldn't have to. Here goes: 

Over at Lemondrop, our good friend standup comic Allison Castillo (pronounced "kast-ill-oh") is fed up with the term "cougar." The Courtney Cox fall television show Cougar Town isn't helping things. Hopefully, the Bill Lawrence-created (Spin City, Scrubs) sitcom will use the time-tested comedic technique of pointing out the painfully obvious and exaggerating it. Check out … Read More

Do the pop culture icons we associate with romance set us up for disappointment?
1690455.jpg

In life, as in relationships, its wise to take the Goldilocks approach to romance. Too much may burn you with heartache and regret; too little might leave you feeling frosty and brittle. Paris, with its romantic reputation, seems to throw this delicate balance well out of whack. Decades of pop culture have done a number on our expectations for the city.
