Long before "bromances" became the hot thing, dudes have been making male bonding cool. It's especially nice to see in the celebrity world, because what usually makes the news are the feuds rather than the friendships...
Kristen Bell celebrated the opening of her not-actually-entirely-terrible romantic comedy When in Rome by announcing that she and boyfriend Dax Shepard are planning to marry.
Kate Hudson and Alex Rodriguez have been dating since May, but they're still in the honeymoon phase, according to In Touch. Alex is spoiling Kate with rides on his private plane, and lavishing attention on her five-year-old son, Ryder.
There are a lot of reasons why Lance Armstrong and Sheryl Crow might have called it quits. His not-quite-ex-wife. Her touring schedule. Those garish, if not well-intended yellow rubber bracelets. The fact that she sang a duet with Kid Rock. And yet, when the Grammy-award winning singer and seven-time Tour de France champion/cancer survivor finally threw in the towel — after two and a half years of working out, working the red carpet, and working for a cure — it was actually due to something far less glitzy and a lot more human: Crow's 43-year-old biological clock.
Lance Armstrong proposes to pregnant girlfriend, Anna Hansen.
Kate Hudson admits to a lack of experience and no checklist when it comes to dating.
A recent Jezebel post about "One Ball Wonders" like Lance Armstrong and Tom Green made me remember a story: About two years ago, when I was working as a factchecker at Radar magazine, one of my oldest friends from back home IMed me to share some terrible news. He had cancer, testicular cancer, and he was going to have surgery to take one of his testicles out. In the weeks that followed, I tried to be as supportive as I could. My friend volleyed back and forth from not wanting to talk about it at all, to asking me if I still thought women would still want to hook up with him if he only had one testicle. Honestly, I discovered it's difficult to find the right words to say in this situation. Of course, since he's one of my oldest friends, I wanted to be totally honest: any woman worth his time wouldn't give a shit, but some women might find only one ball, and the very fact he was a cancer survivor, off-putting. Nevertheless, I'm sure I pointed out that Lance Armstrong still seem to score with women.
