As Whitney Houston proved this week in her interview with Oprah Winfrey, not all women have to be taken to live their happy best. When you have this much love from your fans, sometimes we wonder, who actually needs romance?!

Whitney Houston Her comeback stuns us all, as did her candid revelations to Oprah. She said Bobby Brown was emotionally abusive and that she allowed their marriage to hold back her best work. After seven years behind closed doors, Whitney's old-school-meets-what's-cool new album I Look to You is number one on the charts this week—and our fave … Read More

After a five-day non-stop fling with Kristen Stewart last week, Robert Pattinson is finally admitting that they're an item, according to Life & Style.

Robert is said to have told reporters last week that he and Kristen are "back on," and he reportedly told Twilight co-star Nikki Reed to keep her voice down after she was quoted as saying on an August 10 plane ride to shoot Eclipse in Vancouver, "I saw the pictures [of your rendezvous last week]—getting in cabs together, going for lunch...I thought you were going to keep it undercover?" Friend and co-star … Read More

In this spirit we bring you this piece by men's lifestyle expert, Oliver "Ali" Nejad, who fills you in on how men approach rebound relationships.

Rebound! No, I'm not referring to the inflated number on Ben Wallace's stat line, but rather that tricky follow up relationship to the one you recently … Read More

Summertime, and as Ella would say, the rhythm is easy. So keep an eye out and find yourself a fun companion to go and do with these three months. Here are eight date ideas to add to your summer fling checklist. Remember, summer flings are fleeting and you won't have an endless amount of time together. Do grab your calendar and start jotting down some plans.

1. Check out a museum together. Tons of museums, from art to history, offer special summer hours and deals. It's a good way to not only get cultured but to find out more about your … Read More

Men aren't the only ones who bid adieu to skirt-chasing and shed a semi-sweet blubber after saying "I do."On the contrary, actually. While women are often given the bum rap of baby-starved, ring-happy harpies, we've known many a lady to mournfully watch the last of her one-night-with-stranger-existence disappear with the backwash of her wedding champagne. Yes, we have.While a life of bed hopping isn’t something to, uh, aspire to necessarily, but casual dalliances, like youth, won't be at your disposal forever. So you might as well slip on those proverbial heels and squeeze out the most … Read More

2006 was a year of unprotected sex for me. No, not every time, but I started off the year with a fling with a slightly older man I was besotted with, who didn’t speak a word about condoms, and, in response, I didn’t either. I wanted to trust that he had some magical knowledge that somehow I was missing, that maybe the world had overturned itself and they were no longer necessary. I was wrong, and after a pregnancy panic as I searched for Plan B—this was right before it was so readily available—I escaped unscathed. Then later that … Read More

One-night stands: for or against? The Daily Bedpost posed this question earlier this week, and readers responded in favor of the casual liaison. Em and Lo, in turn, laid out ten basic rules of the one-night stand. After all, knowing you'll never see him again does not give you (or him) permission to be rude. Some of our favorites (abbreviated, and with a bit of interpretation):

Do make your intentions clear. Do not talk about your father's alcoholism or your sister's rehab. Do talk about safe sex.  Do not get mushy and romantic. Do … Read More

Looking for a fling, fellows?

Then wrestle a lion, sword fight with a pirate...or perhaps just give yourself a swipe on your face: a study shows women are attracted to scars when looking for short-term relationships.

The London Daily Mail reports researchers for the Universities of Liverpool and Stirling studied how scars affected mate choice.  Men found women with or without scars attractive (whew! I have a cat scratch scar which has never gone away), but women found scars on men attractive primarily when looking for short-term flings.

I'm not sure I agree with one of the researcher's … Read More

I went speed dating last week. The single professional gal going speed dating in the city, could I be more cliche? Truth be told, it was all in the name of investigative journalism. You may be laughing like "Yea right Rajul, you just wanted to get some fresh new tail for the summer games."

Mock me if you must, but I was really looking forward to the stories I'd be able to tell about the freakshows/crazies I met. As usual, I was wrong and most of the guys I met were actually decent, smart and kind of funny. … Read More
