There are times it's obvious when a man is lying. Like when he opens his mouth. Just kidding! We're not that bitter (typically). But seriously, there are times in some relationships when you wonder if he really was at his buddy Jim's house playing poker until 3:30 a.m. Or if that woman Mindy with the ginormous ta-tas who friended him on Facebook really is "just some girl that used to live up the street" from him.
After she had dating him for four months, freelance writer Lindsay Hitchcock ("Orlando's Carrie Bradshaw") thought she had found the perfect man.

It looks like Enrique Iglesias is –willingly– being used and abused by tennis pro/beau Anna Kournikova, whose been dating the singer since staring in his music video, "Escape," in 2002. "She said I'm probably just a guy she wants to date for a few years, then she'll leave me. I'm cool with that." We're sure he has a choice in the matter.
