Before you move across the world for your partner, be sure to ask yourself a few questions.
Michelle did it for Barack. Brad does it at least twice a year for Angelina. And thousands of non-famous people do it everyday for the people they love.

I used to be a bit of a compulsive long-distance dater. My first two serious relationships were with British boys, which would soon later develop into a habit of only getting involved with foreign guys. Until recently I never questioned if getting involved in a relationship which is destined to be mostly long-distance was … Read More

Despite the fact that they have heartbreaker written all over them, rock stars are irresistible.
Were it not for the idea of a broken heart, many of rock 'n' roll's greatest love songs would be without a subject. Country music would have certainly never survived and the blues would refer to spending a Saturday afternoon at the laundromat with your Levi's. Thank goodness for the tortured souls who thought to pick up a guitar and air their dirty laundry.
Finding comfort in the arms of a rock star is easy to do when you've got good-looking men like Justin Timberlake, Tim McGraw and Chris Martin telling you it will be all right. We've spent many … Read More
