Woman Who Let Boyfriend Cheat Couldn't Take It Anymore

Love and relationships can be so complex, and people try all different kinds of ways to keep them going. In fact, sometimes people try so hard to hold on to a relationship that they do the very thing that is sure to destroy it. Silly people. Take Holly Hill. The Australian author of Sugarbabe and Toyboy made the media rounds only a couple of years ago as a dedicated advocate for "non-monogamy." She believed that the only way to keep a man "faithful" (or at least keep him around at all) was to allow him to have sex with other women. She called it "negotiated infidelity." But the only thing Hill negotiated herself into was a fine mess.

Jilted Groom Wants Something Back and It's Not the Ring

When couples break up, all kinds of bad feelings go around, and it's not too uncommon for them to culminate in a lawsuit. Especially when there are non-refundable wedding fees involved. But one jilted New York groom, telecommunications executive Steven Silverstein, is taking his hurt feelings laughably too far.

Silverstein says his fiancee, Kendra Platt-Lee, called off their engagement and left him with $27,000 in fees related to what would have been their September nuptials. He is suing to get half of the amount back. Fair enough. He also wants $19,000 that he claims she withdrew from their joint bank account that isn't hers. Fair enough. Oh, and he's suing for $28,000 in rent that he paid on their apartment, because he only would have been living with her provided they were going to get married. Huh??

Only a Crazy Woman Would Turn Down $1 Million for One Night in Bed

Kelly Brook is an absolutely gorgeous model and actress who gives new meaning to the term "curvy." She is luscious and perfect and any man would be crazy NOT to want to sleep with her. So when a wealthy tycoon offered her 1 million pounds (more than $1 million) for a night with him, no one was surprised.

She ignored his offer and moved on, but I say she is nuts. You are only young and super hot once, but $1 million can last a really long time. Brook's version of Indecent Proposal may have been less enchanting given she has plenty of cash on her own. But what if she didn't? What if she, like Demi Moore in the film, was poor and needed the cash and what she had was a gorgeous face and a perfect body?

Would that really be so wrong?

Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie Will Never Get Married (Sigh)

Posted by Kiri Blakeley

Better check to see if you can still return those wedding gifts, everyone. Turns out Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie might not exactly be getting married anytime soon. Brad just talked about his engagement and he sounded decidedly nonchalant about the whole thing. First, he said that the engagement "made sense." Okay, Brad, flood insurance makes sense. Investing in your 401(k) makes sense. Engaged to the mother of your six children and love of your life? That requires a bit more flamboyant language, no?

Then, Brad said that he and Ange don't have a wedding date and that they are "still hoping for marriage equality in the States" before they walk down the aisle. Eh, boy. Sounds like we're going to be waiting a loooong time for the wedding of the century (sorry, Will and Kate). I mean, North Carolina alone will hold this shindig up for eternity.

Breakup E-Cards Capture What You Really Want to Say to Your Ex (PHOTOS)

Divorce, cardHas someone ever handed you a greeting card that struck just the right sentimental nerve to make you tear up or laugh out loud? They’re great, aren’t they? The good folks over at Hallmark and American Greetings are always touching on some kind of emotion, hence why the card aisle is such a giggly/sighing/awwwing time suck. A simple effort to run in and grab a birthday or anniversary card becomes a study in lost hours. At least for me, anyway.

Given how easy it is for card companies to capture the magic of just about any occasion under the sun—engagements, new pets, dental surgeries—it only made sense for some industrious web whiz to come up with zingers to express the awkward and sometimes debilitating emotions that go along with a divorce or breakup.

kristen stewart on cover of elleYesterday, while Robert Pattinson celebrated his 26th birthday at Claridge's in London, getting A-list party on with preggers Sienna Miller and her hubby, who also happens to be RPatz's best bud, Tom Sturridge. But his rumored lady love Kristen Stewart was nowhere to be seen ... at least at one point during the party. So, of course, tongues were wagging today about her absence. Could this mean the two are on the outs? Or worse yet -- no longer an item?

Pffft! Don't make me laugh, people. This latest gossip is no proof that Robsten is no more. Especially since the June issue of Elle points to new proof of their love affair.
