Chocolate, flowers, and cards: Oh my! Why we give these gifts on Valentine's Day.
We stuff ourselves during Thanksgiving, wear ugly sweaters come Christmastime, and ring in the New Year with a champagne toast. That's just how it's done. Similarly, ever since we were in pre-kindergarten, cards, flowers, chocolate and—depending on your luck—that One Special Person have marked Valentine's Day. While the days of those little cardboard Disney-princess Valentine's Day cards may be over (remember Martin's "I choo-choo-choose you" for Lisa on The Simpsons?), there are still traditions we practice. But do you know why Valentine's Day is the way it is? Like 'em or loathe 'em, here we explain the holiday's most popular … Read More
What does Jennifer Love Hewitt have to say about love that's so important?
When a celebrity couple makes it past the one-year relationship mark, we crown them "ever-lasting." Until, that is, they are caught on hidden camera kissing a costar.
Suddenly, that same fairy-tale romance turns into tabloid headlines and late night one-liners.
Celebrity relationships seem like a recipe for disaster. If someone isn't hooking up, breaking up or splitting up a marriage, they're filming a scandalous sex scene in real life and leaking their own sex tape. Read: Make Your Best Sex Tape Yet
While celebrities never fail to entertain even the most intellectual among us, their erratic behavior doesn't exactly read like … Read More
The newest member of The Hills says she's willing to let producers play cupid.
Laguna Beach drama queen Kristin Cavallari is back on set as the newest cast member of The Hills. Cavallari will replace Lauren Conrad, who fans will remember was also Conrad's nemesis back in the day.
"I'm a completely different person than Lauren," Cavallari told EW.com earlier this week. "I have a lot more energy. I'm more outgoing. I'm a little more spontaneous. And she has a boyfriend so she's not dating on the show. I’m very open to dating and finding a guy."
People also reported that Cavallari is, in fact, "on the manhunt" — and willing to … Read More

Ready to tune out Spitzergate and take a lighthearted love test?
It's been a depressing week in relationship news. Not that one philandering neanderthal is enough to dampen our optimistic hearts, but it has made for some heavy-hearted coverage. Consider: Why Men Buy Sex, My Boyfriend Cheated On Me With Hookers, and whether women feeling lackluster about giving blowjobs could really be to blame?
Maybe that's why we were all ready for a love-related time out. I found it in the form of an email from my Australian friend, Georgia, begging me to take the What's Your Dating Persona? quiz on okcupid.com. … Read More
Cupid: Messenger of love or money-grubbing con artist?
Are we getting more and more cynical about love every year that passes, or is it just about Valentine's Day? As other countries begin to latch on to V-Day traditions that Americans (or American greeting card companies?) created, we seem to be rationalizing it as just a silly excuse for a holiday.
Just before the big day, Tango polled you guys on what Valentine's Day means to you and we were shocked (okay, fine, more like amused) to find that almost half of you said that it's a "sales ploy by Hallmark". It didn't get much better. The next … Read More
