From letters to tweets, 7 celebrity authors who weren’t afraid to put their love into words.
As technology progresses, the manner in which we express love has gradually changed. Gone are the days of handwritten love letters as we venture onto the information superhighway and become restricted to 140 words or less. From emails to texts and IMing, many of us would deem ourselves lucky if we ever receive a post-it note with an "I love you" on it. In celebration of the ever-evolving love letter, here are 7 famous men who will go down in history for declaring their love in writing.
Did South Carolina's Republican gubernatorial candidate have an affair, or is this a smear campaign?
Jenny Sanford's top choice to replace her cheating husband in South Carolina, Nikki Haley, has just been accused of having an affair of her own. Could Gov. Mark Sanford's ex-wife really be that poor a judge of character? Or is this just more political mudslinging? Conservative blogger and former aide to Gov. Sanford, Will Folks, announced today on his blog, FITSNews, that he had a sexual relationship with Nikki several years ago...
While they may not have been able to control the actual man himself, the Tiger Woods camp has been known for fiercely protecting The Brand Tiger Woods and all the images and slogans that come with it. It comes as no surprise then that quick legal action was taken when they heard about PETA's plans to plaster his face on billboards along with the slogan, "Too much sex can be a bad thing."
Governor Mark Sanford's wronged ex goes on a trash-talking media blitz to promote her new book.
Jenny Sanford is talking to everyone in the hopes of selling a bazillion copies of her new book, "Staying True"...One interviewer who didn't just lob softballs at Jenny was GMA's new co-host George Stephanopoulos, who asked her if, after the scandal broke, she "called legislators to save her husband's job." Although she was thrown for a second, Jenny proved that living with a politician all those years rubbed off on her by answering, "Not to my knowledge. I don't recall calling anybody."
Jenny Sanford says that her husband never vowed to remain faithful.
In an exclusive interview with 20/20's Barbara Walters, the governor's wife, Jenny Sanford, opens up about her marriage, revealing that Mark requested to remove the fidelity clause from their marriage vows.

Differing opinions on how detrimental divorce may be for both the parents and the children.
Coming from a divorced family, I have spent my life questioning the idea of a life-long commitment. Most of the adults I know have been divorced at least once, and of the couples who are still married, most of them (along with their kids) appear miserable. And so, while I would love to find a companion whose company I will enjoy "'til death do us part," I've learned from observation that this just might not be a realistic goal. And is it so horrible to think that maybe we weren't supposed to spend our entire lives with one person? Is traditional marriage the best—or only—way?
Caitlin Flanagan, author of the Time article "Is There Hope for the American Marriage?" thinks so. But I just don't agree with the lady who claims that there is "no other single force causing as much measurable hardship and human misery in this country as the collapse of marriage."
If more political couples were getting it on regularly, would the country be a better place?
This July 4th, perhaps the focus for Mr. and Mrs. Politician should be more on the fireworks happening between their sheets (or lack thereof) rather than the one’s overlooking the Washington Monument. That’s right, this holiday, if you love your country then please shag your partner.
