Today we stumbled across an article that claimed over half of 2,000 people surveyed for DateTheUK had dumped a significant other via some sort of electronic device. In this instance, "electronically" meant updating a Facebook relationship status (ouch), sending out an ominous tweet or shooting a "hey, let's just be friends" e-mail. This left only 46 percent who were traditional enough (or perhaps just not Internet savvy) to break ties in person or over the phone. Actual phone, not text, that is. Dumped for Punctuation!

This is supposed to be shocking (it isn't) and even lends … Read More

According to the gossip site, Jess may have secretly kept in touch with ex-flame singer-songwriter John Mayer. The two had dated briefly in 2006, but Romo apparently discovered text messages from Mayer in Jessica's phone after he flew into L.A. for her recent birthday.

The Bachelor's "shocking" finale has become a never-ending story.

This season, he wasn't afraid to shed tears and tell women how "amazing" they were.

He led us into the final rose ceremony with two sweet, lovely twentysomethings, Molly Malaney and Melissa Rycroft. And then he broke both of their hearts. First, he gave Molly the boot, choosing Melissa as … Read More
