Several Hollywood stars have recently commented on Mo'Nique's confession that she and Sidney Hicks have an open marriage. Some celebrities, Gabourey Sidibe, Mo'Nique's co-star in Precious, reacted nonchalantly. "It's not really news to have an open marriage and open communication marriage," she told Access Hollywood.

Others, like The View's Sherri Shepherd, were quick to admit that they couldn't do it. "Apparently, you don't know why I got divorced," she said. Is Mo'Nique's Open Relationship Sexist?

Whatever the case, the blogosphere is now abuzz with conversation about open marriages, which have been around for thousands of years, but have only reentered the … Read More

It's not set to air until Sunday, but Mo'Nique's comments to Barbara Walters about the peculiarities of her marriage to Sidney Hicks are so juicy that they've been chosen as the promotional temptation for the grand dame's Oscars special.

According to the Best Supporting Actress contendress, infidelity is not a dealbreaker in her marriage.  Why Do Women "Look The Other Way"?

As recounted by our friends at PopEater:

"Could Sid have sex outside of his marriage with me?" the 'Precious' star asked. "Yes. That's not a deal-breaker. That's not something that would make us say, 'Pack your things and … Read More

New years always invite us to reflect on our lives and decide to start fresh. Maybe we want to go to the gym more. Maybe we want to quit smoking. Maybe we'd like to eat bacon every day. And celebrities are no different; they make new year's resolutions, too. Here are six suggested relationship and life resolutions for our favorite stars so they can have their best 2010. 6 Celeb Couples We'd Like To See In 2010

1. Stop talking about your relationship.

Yeah, it'll make our jobs harder, but just imagine how much happier Jessica Simpson … Read More

Loredana Jolie Ferriolo, one of Tiger Woods's alleged extramarital booty calls, says she's writing a book that will detail how Tiger liked threesomes and sex with men. She'd like $1 million for the book and also plans to become a golfer. And we'd like a pet unicorn!

This is the first we've heard of Tiger possibly enjoying dudes in his group sex parties, but considering he can't even choose his own golf club, of course he might need a little advice on whether to go with the nine iron or the seven wood when he has four … Read More

In a recent interview with German magazine Das Neue, Angelina is oddly forthcoming about her personal life, opening up about her feelings on fidelity, extramarital affairs and open relationships. She even reveals intimate truths about how she and Brad operate as a couple, admitting that fights with Brad can get pretty physical. Pretty surprising considering that—in the public eye, at least—she's supposedly moved past her wild child ways, and embraced a new identity as a humanitarian and supermom.

It's her thoughts on the benefits of open marriage that are the most thought-provoking (and refreshing): … Read More

John Edwards. Justin Timberlake. Tiger Woods. With new stories of infidelity popping up every day, is it any wonder we sometimes feel as if we're only biding our time—stomachs clenched—until we catch our partner in the act? After all, it's inevitable. Right? 

Just last week, over at Huffington Post, Jay Michaelson put the question to his readers: Is monogamous marriage an anomaly? He then reviewed the history of marriage: "Truly traditional marriage, after all, is polygamy. This is what the Bible instructs, and it's been the dominant familial arrangement in the Western world for longer than … Read More

In New Jersey, the state Senate just canceled the vote for a bill that would allow for same-sex marriage. If such a bill had passed, New Jersey would have become the sixth state to allow such a union, a right that many gay couples (and their supporters) have been desperately pursuing for years. Meanwhile, Tiger Woods—a successful pro golfer married to the beautiful Elin Nordegren—was recently discovered to have an entire bevy of mistresses. One might surmise that, in his case, marriage wasn't enough.

And he's (obviously) not the only one who's found him or herself unsatisfied … Read More

The first time we met The Ashley Madison Agency was on network television during a commercial break. Amidst jingles for fabric softener and liquid eyeliner, the booming phrase "Life is too short. Have an affair!" jerked us into consciousness. Life is too short? Have an affair? Is this cheating or a second helping of dessert? Cheating Keeps Us Together

We've written about The Ashley Madison Agency—a dating site for itchy married folks—and have always meant to check it out for giggles. After all, what kind of person advertises his/her infidelity online? Are they … Read More

Thank you all for your comments and questions about my recent blog "Open Marriage Benefit: A Three-Parent Household." I thought that this week I would answer one of the questions I received based on that piece.

MaliMali asked, "Is she mainly your girlfriend? Is it like he comes home to two wives? Have you ever shared a boyfriend in your marriage?"

Jemma is actually only my girlfriend and not my husband's. Although the two of them are very good friends. They have a lot in common, in fact—food, wine, books, theater. It's nice because she is often over in the evenings … Read More

Sometimes I forget things. I don't mean my keys or why I went into the kitchen, although I forget those too. I mean I forget bigger things. I forget to be thankful, to marvel, to bask in my life and the people I live it with.

This economy has driven my husband out on the road. He's working as a consultant. He leaves on Sunday afternoons and comes home on Friday nights.

When he was home, he did the grocery shopping and the cooking. He got our daughter up and out to school in the morning and off to bed at … Read More
