The practice of "marrying up" might be looked down upon by some, but when you're talking age, it might be the key to a happy marriage. A recent study showed that the couples who were happiest and had the lowest divorce rate were those where the woman was at least five years younger than her husband -- and when she's better educated.

But it doesn't work both ways. The same study claims that when the wife is older by five or more years, the couple is three times … Read More

A lot of our out-of-control Jon Gosselin questions from last week are finally answered. There was buzz that he was apartment-hunting in New York City, and that his 22-year-old Hailey Glassman appeared to be a very possible roommate as she accompanied him on the appointments.

But according to People, Hailey wasn't around this weekend when Jon settled into his new apartment on the Upper West Side. Instead there were two other women in New York who, yet again, are making us scratch our heads.

Up till now, we have been carrying a torch for 'Team Jon' in the Gosselin pseudo-celebrity deathmatch arena. But St. Tropez?

Billy Joel and his wife of nearly five years Katie Lee are splitting up. A "friend" of the couple told the New York Daily News that the age difference of 33 years drove the couple apart ( 15 Common Divorce Mistakes). I doubt it. Maybe, like so many couples that end up divorced, they just weren't meant to be. You never hear anyone say "Dick and Jane are the same age—that must have had something to do with their breakup." I call BS on blaming the age difference when it comes to divorce. Though, admittedly, I'm biased. … Read More

I have nine months to grapple with my disbelief over dating a 30-year-old before my boyfriend actually celebrates his third decade of life. At 21, I’m young enough to lack the proper shame for being broke, have neither a bachelor’s degree nor any discernible expertise, and occasionally cheat the public transportation system by paying youth fare.
