"Nobody stays married anymore. Everybody just takes the easy way out. Divorce isn't an option for me."

Becky heavily accented the "d" word as we made our way through the park on that beautiful summer day. I was stunned by her tone. I wanted to cry. It was bad enough that my pastor had urged me to stay in my marriage. Breaking my marriage vows had been the most difficult decision I had ever made. No one could really know what I had been through. I had been certain Becky would understand. She had seen me struggle and agonize over … Read More

This weekend's issue of Parade magazine will feature a high-profile interview of superstar Brad Pitt, one of the most riveting and highly-anticipated interviews Parade has ever published.

In the chat Brad shares never-before-heard revelations into his relationship with Angelina Jolie (for the last time they are not married) and what he's like as a family man. In typical fashion he also gives just a little TMI on their favorite spot to have sex. The full interview comes out on Sunday and an advance version will go live on Parade's … Read More

Religion has never played a large part in my life. I grew up celebrating "Christian" holidays like Easter and Christmas, but in America, these days are so mainstreamed and commercialized, they almost seem secular. I've never minded not having a religion, and I like the fact that because I'm a blank religious slate, I can approach new religions without prior assumption. I've learned Hindu traditions while in India, marveled at the Muslim mosques while in Indonesia, caroled in a Carmelite monastery, and recently visited a Zen Buddhist center for meditation. Having lived in the open-minded Bay Area for most of … Read More

I was twenty-nine, single again after a five-year marriage, and a virgin. When I met my now ex-husband Mike, I had just turned 21. We met at small Catholic liberal arts college, and even though I no longer believed in Jesus, the Saints, the Bible, God, really any of that. I was a virgin then, and I was a virgin when we divorced.

When I was younger, I'd wanted to stay pure, and had managed to protect my virginity despite all the high school guys I'd went out with, and the ten or so guys I'd dated in … Read More

Brad Pitt may have referred to his wife and kids as possessions (when asked what his faveorite possesions were he answered "my family"), but is ever the gentleman when discussing his sex life.

In a recent interview with Bild, a German newspaper, the Oscar-nominated star opens up about his life with Angelina Jolie and co. He discusses his lack of religion and love of German beer and reveals that he and Angie still make love. 

BILD: Do you find the time to make love?
Brad Pitt (looks puzzled): What?
BILD: Is it sometimes just the two of … Read More

Resist the urge to blame others for their mishaps, read "How to Forgive Accidents." [Huffington Post]

We were keeping an eye on this story—curious to see how it would unfold. What was it going to be for Father Cutie? You remember him, the man forced to choose (in front of all of America) between earthly desire and heavenly calling. He's the dashing 40-year-old South Beach-based priest who was very publicly barred from his parish last month. The Miami archdiocese relieved Cutie of his priestly duties after he was spotted—and photographed—during an episode of seaside smooching with his 35-year-old girlfriend.

After the television cameras faded to black and the limelight went dim, Cutie and his lover quietly … Read More

It appears Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson are not only back together, but are ready to make their relationship permanent. The National Enquirer is reporting that, despite the frequent fights and almost monthly break-ups, Lindsay is planning to covert to Judaism to please her future wife. 

It's hard to say which family will be less pleased about this news.  Lindsay's father, Michael, has been vocal about his dislike for Sam, and Ronson's family tried to obtain a restraining order preventing Lohan from coming anywhere near them.

According to the National Enquirer (via PopCrunch) a source said, "Lindsay says Sam's promised … Read More

We all have our own moral code that we follow when it comes to sex, whether it's to wait a month or two before sleeping with a new partner, to do it whenever it "feels right," or to save sex for marriage. While today's media often depicts society as being free and open about sex, with those Gossip Girl hooligans shacking up with a new partner every week, it turns out some people are even saving kissing for marriage. That's right, kissing.

We suppose that makes locking eyes first base, hand-holding second, and hugging a sensual third base activity?

Nashville's daily … Read More
