You may remember that Evan was recently rumored to be dating her True Blood costar Alexander Skarsgard, but has now gone back to the Goth bad place. Noooooo.
Evan and Marilyn began dating toward the end of his marriage to Dita Von Teese in late 2006. It's unclear if she played a role in the end of the … Read More
Or as the British call it, Thursday.
Jude Law and Sienna Miller's rekindled romance is heating up, sources say, after the two actors spent Thanksgiving together. Sienna has also been spotted leaving Jude's apartment, and now friends say that it was Sienna's costar in Broadway's After Miss Julie, Jonny Lee Miller (Angelina Jolie's first husband), who nudged the exes to get back together.

How to convince your ex that the relationship deserves another chance.
Earlier this week, we asked you: "What Would Get You To Take Your Ex Back?" From a look at the results of the poll, not much.

Many couples decide to get back together after a long or short period following separation or divorce. While reuniting is exciting, it is also stressful.
Many thoughts enter the couple's mind: Will it last this time? Will it turn sour again when we are living together? Does my partner think about the other lovers? Will he/she abandon me again? How will our extended family and friends react?

It can be easy to slip back into a relationship with your ex, but it's better not to.
If anyone ever had a reason not to get back with an ex, I did. He was the quintessential on-and-off Bad Boyfriend and not only were all my friends painfully aware of this fact, when he dumped me on the same day my father died (think Jessica and Tony birthday sitch x 10), then again after a similar life tragedy, it had finally become clear to me as well. I moved on fast. Literally days after he'd hit me with yet another, "I can't do this anymore," I somehow managed to enter into a relationship with a man … Read More

How to make a relationship work the second time around—for good.
In the midst of a break up, the last thing most us might think about is walking down the aisle—unless maybe you've broken off an engagement. There were guys I've dated for years, and yet marriage would've been the last thing I thought about after breaking up. But when Joe, a boyfriend of only six months, and I called it quits, I couldn't stop thinking that things weren't supposed to turn out this way. I must've been on to something because in just a few months Joe came calling and his "let's get back together" speech was heavy. Something like: … Read More
