Ted Kennedy, the last of the living Kennedy brothers and renowned Massachusetts senator who held office as a Democrat since 1964, died Tuesday of brain cancer at the Kennedy estate in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts.

Formally named Edward Moore Kennedy, Ted was as known for his questionable private life as his political feats. YourTango's Celebrity Love has constructed a timeline of the scandals that went on behind Ted Kennedy's loosely-closed doors for five decades.

1958 - After a yearlong courtship, Ted Kennedy married beauty queen and college classmate Virginia Joan Bennett (known now as Joan … Read More

Religion has never played a large part in my life. I grew up celebrating "Christian" holidays like Easter and Christmas, but in America, these days are so mainstreamed and commercialized, they almost seem secular. I've never minded not having a religion, and I like the fact that because I'm a blank religious slate, I can approach new religions without prior assumption. I've learned Hindu traditions while in India, marveled at the Muslim mosques while in Indonesia, caroled in a Carmelite monastery, and recently visited a Zen Buddhist center for meditation. Having lived in the open-minded Bay Area for most of … Read More

Before you shout "OMG WTF TISNF," take a deep one and relax. Mark Wahlberg got married and so did Ali Larter, just not to each other. 

First, according the Boston Globe, native son, Mark Wahlberg was married to his baby's mamma, Rhea Durham in Los Angeles on August 1st. The reportedly quite Catholic Mark Wahlberg has three children with Durham (ranging from 5 years to 10 months).  The gossip team over at the Globe guessed that big brother (and New Kid tough guy) Donnie Wahlberg was not in attendance due to a quick hospital visit. 

While even "good … Read More

You'd think this would be nothing but torture for Father Ksawery Knotz, but Knotz, a celibate monk, can now add Sex Author to his resume. It gives him range, we guess.

Knotz recently wrote Sex As You Don't Know It: For Married Couples Who Love God. Nevermind that Knotz doesn't, you know, technically score—he thinks that's a moot point. Afterall, he says sex is always between you, your husband/wife AND God—and Knotz knows an awful lot about the third person in the bedroom. Rabbi's Rx For Sexless Marriage

He runs a website called A Chance To Meet, where he answers … Read More

I suppose the phrase "damned if you do, damned if you don't" would be somewhat in appropriate here. Per Time, an incredibly popular Catholic priest has been caught in a wee bit of a tough place down in Miami.

Father Alberto Cutié (not promises about jokes regarding his awesome surname) has landed in hot water due to some of his extra-curricular activity; namely, cavorting with women (or a woman). Father Guapo Cutié, who hosts Spanish-language radio and TV programs discussing matters of faith, was photographed with a kissing, embracing and grab-assin' with a comely (bonita) young lady on … Read More

In a story that is sure to confuse Catholics the world over, the Daily Mail reports that Jesus is now living in sin with Madonna.Further complicating the matter for those who know more about the Pope than pop culture is the fact that Jesus made the move to Madonna's pad directly from his mother's home. "Isn't that redundant?" they are no doubt asking. (Indeed, non-Catholics are asking the same thing.)Allow us to clarify. Jesus is Jesus Luz, the dashing 22-year-old Brazilian model with whom Madonna, 50, has recently been keeping company. The two met three months ago … Read More

Lent, for those of you are not among the roughly 77 million Americans to describe themselves as Catholic, is the period between Fat Tuesday (woooo to the hooooo, Mardi Gras) and Easter (40 days seems to show up a lot in Christianity, but this one represents the time that Jesus spent in the desert, contemplating, thwarting Satan, chillaxing).During this time, those who genuflect are asked to follow a handful of mildly inconvenient rules (and it varies from place to place): no meat (no mammals or birds, generally) on Fridays, a few days of fasting (really light eating), prayer … Read More

Up until I was six years old, my family celebrated Christmas. Although both of my parents are Jewish, our family was not particularly religious. They just thought Christmas was a fun holiday for kids. I still fondly remember my Miss Piggy star ornament sparkling atop the tree. Ahh, memories. In 1984, we moved to a new town in a new state and joined a synagogue. As December rolled around, there was no tree, just a menorah in the kitchen and a pile of Hanukkah presents in the corner of the living room. Don't get me wrong: The latkes were tasty, … Read More

Okee dokes. Mark Wahlberg, actor, producer, Entourage-inspiration, model, dancer, and musician is going to add another hat (as unimaginative people in the business world say): husband. Mark Wahlberg has been with girlf Rhea Durham since like way back and according to E!Online, the two are getting hitched next August (2009). Which is just enough to do something incredible enough to get invited or marry a family member (Donny Wahlberg just got a divorce).

Durham has given birth to all of Wahlberg's 3 kids, including one a month ago (September 16th). The reportedly devout … Read More
