Is Hollywood Killing Monogamy?
Movies about hooking up with "no strings" are the new norm. But why?

The Evidence Is On Twitter: Demi & Ashton's Status In Updates

A retrospective look at Demi (@MrsKutcher) and Ashton's (@aplusk) Twitter banter over the years.

Ever since Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore started dating in 2003, the couple—and their 15-year age difference—have garnered a lot of attention. On Jan. 16, 2009, Kutcher, then 30, joined Twitter under the handle @aplusk (for his initials).

Emma Stone officially might be the luckiest girl in Hollywood at the moment. Her career is on fire with a slew of box-office hits on her acting resume. Not to mention, the list of leading men she's locked lips and shared the big screen with is undeniably impressive: Ryan Gosling, Penn Badgley, Jesse Eisenberg and Andrew Garfield.

Go, Means --- Go.

On the 19th of March, the moon was as close to the Earth as it has or will be for the next 18 years. A feat that most assuredly comes with cosmic strings attached. An astronomer predicted that the onset of this would cause the universe, or Lady Earth, as we know her to revolt. And she did.

Mediocrity Killed the Cat.

As many of you know, and by many of you I mean the proud few that indulge in my occasional cyber rants; I’m “involved” in an ambiguous relationship with a man by the name of NsSA, Not-so-Starving-Artist.
