Rumor has it that the 2 have purchased a place in The Dakota in New York.
According to Digital Spy, Lindsay Lohan (of whom are mom asks, "What’s up with this Linda Loman character, anyways?") is looking to buy an apartment in The Dakota with her lady friend Samantha Ronson. The Dakota is the building that John Lennon lived in with Yoko Ono; in front of which he was shot by Mark David Chapman. It has a notoriously stingy co-op board* who once allegedly turned down Madonna's attempt to buy a flat there as well as Billy Joel and Gene Simmons. Which leads us to believe 1 of 5 … Read More
New research shows living together before marriage could even be healthy.
This week brings one more study to prove something we already know: living together before marriage doesn't mean you're going to get divorced. You may be thinking "duh"—when you live together you gain an understanding of what your life would be like together—but until now research didn't support what common sense suggests. Studies from the '80s and '90s showed that couples that shacked up before wedded bliss were more likely to split up.
According to new census data out this week (via USA Today), almost 10% of opposite-sex couples living together in the United States are unmarried; in 1995 … Read More
How to share costs when moving in together.
As a 23-year-old editorial assistant living in New York City, I was confident in my relationship and in my reasons for wanting to move in with my boyfriend of two years. I'd become a bag lady lugging my life between our apartments just as the hobo chic look had lost its appeal. I dreaded forfeiting my monthly rent check—also known as half my salary—to keep a studio I never saw. And I knew I eventually wanted to marry my boyfriend—just not yet.
But I hadn't considered the financial commitment of moving in together until I rode up 14 flights … Read More
According to rumor, Kate Middleton has moved into Prince William's apartments at Clarence House.
Wow. According to rumors, Prince William’s girlf, Kate Middleton, has moved into his private apartments at his official residence in London. Clarence House has supposedly played host to Kate Middleton for the last two months. We’re not sure about the decorum here, most of our knowledge of royal customs comes from The Tudors, but aren’t they supposed to be married first? Is the Queen-Mother turning over in her grave? Is the Queen punching out stewards left and right? Is Helen Mirren drinking straight alcohol and having tons of sex? Maybe this is a good thing. Clarence House is close … Read More
She didn't believe in love at first sight until she met him. Now she asks, "Will we last forever?"
In the summer of 1978, my mother accidentally flooded her boss's apartment, and got sued. It's a long story. The important part is that the young lawyer/aspiring rock star she hired to represent her later became her husband—my father. They settled the case out of court within a week. Afterward, she invited him to dinner, ostensibly as a thank you, but really because she had decided that he was The One the instant she stepped into his cluttered office and saw his wide smile and thick black curls.
According to my father, Read More
Gail Sheehy discusses her marriage to Clay Felker, the first editor of "New York" magazine.
Yesterday my husband walked into our day-old home, a condo furnished with hundreds of boxes from our former house, and he didn't smile. Moving isn't easy.
We had pulled up stakes from a place we loved. Our roots were still raw.
Clay Felker and I have been through many moves. Painful as they were, some of them saved our relationship. One may have saved his life. This year we will celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary, a milestone that amazes friends who had to play Rolodex tag with each of us during the 17 years of our turbulent premarital relationship. We … Read More
