With three divorces and a broken engagement under her bejeweled belt, I wouldn't exactly call Jennifer Lopez a role model for lifelong commitment. That said, I gotta tell you, I'm totally digging her relationship with Casper Smart. Every girl should get herself a hot boy toy right after a divorce.

Rumor has it that JLo has "fallen hard" for the hard-bodied dancer, who is 17 years her junior. Apparently he treats her "like a queen." Oh, am I detecting some disapproval out there? Ageist much?

If it's fine for a man to get divorced and immediately hook up with someone much younger, why not a woman? And JLo's got it going on -- she looks better than ever. She's got the energy of a girl half her age. Her career is going gangbusters. Why should she get herself an older man just so society nods its head and says, "Yeah, that looks better." Puhleese. Why should any woman? Here are some reasons all gals could use a younger guy after a divorce.

Teen Mom star Farrah Abraham is offering dating advice on her blog. And, you know what? It's dead on. It's not exactly profound, but she addresses the single most important aspect of online dating: Putting up a photo that actually looks like you. I know that seems obvious, and yet so many men (and women, I imagine) don't do it. For the life of me, I can't imagine WHY a man would put up a 10-year-old photo -- one with a full head of hair when he is now bald, or one where he weighs 50 pounds less than he does now -- but it's unbelievably common. Advises Farrah:

If you can not show up on your first date maintaining the quality of your profile picture, I would say use a different picture that shows the more down to earth picture of the real you.

That's a nice way of saying, "We're not stupid, fellas. We're going to see what you look like eventually, so put up a current photo!" Here are some other pieces of advice for guys who are looking for love online:

There are some women who use their entire dating lives to figure out the kind of fellows they absolutely will not date. He can’t have this. He shouldn’t do that. He has to make X amount of money, have a certain kind of education and be at least yea tall to get any airplay. I am not one of those girls.

But nonpartisan as I am, my adventures as a single gal in the city have hipped me to some dudes who just will never make the cut. Like the guy who asked me out for lunch, then proceeded to shake me down for my views on abortion and the death penalty before he revealed that he was looking for a wife. I’m pretty sure he meant that afternoon. He was scary. 

Call the law. Somebody—I don’t know who would’ve pulled such a mean trick but somebody—broke into my apartment, crept into my bedroom, went through my closet, and shrunk all my clothes. My jeans, skirts, slacks, even track jackets and party dresses, all vandalized, zapped down to junior’s department size. 

OK, so the chances that some criminal with nothing better to do in the big city than hatch a diabolical plan to annihilate the wardrobe of a random freelance writer are pretty slim. I, alas, am not. I’ve put on some weight over the last few years, though I can’t pinpoint exactly when I started packing on all of these extra pounds. But I do know the factors that have conspired to make me Ms. Fatty McButterpants: being sociable, which always includes food; sitting through long meetings, where snacks are always a welcome distraction; and being able to burn a little bit in the kitchen myself. 

Oh, man. Have you guys heard the latest whine-fest from Kate Gosselin? Because Mama Kate poured her heart out to Dr. Drew this week about her divorce, and it's pretty obvious that she's still bearing a lot of the emotional scars that Jon Gosselin left behind when their marriage crumbled.

And of course, the main theme of her whole teary rant basically just plays up the fact that she's lonely, and she doesn't know if she'll ever find love again. Awww. Does anyone else hear the violins playing? (I didn't think so.)

In the beginning of every relationship there’s usually a honeymoon period, a little sliver of time where your boo can do no wrong and you do all of the giggly, googly-eyed, corny little things that make those first few months, sometimes the whole first year, so special. It’s bonding time, get-to-know-each-other time, fall-in-love time. And then, if you make it past that stroll through the beautiful flower field, there looms the mountain of the real relationship for you to climb.

And that’s where The Man and I were, still having fun, still in love, still enjoying each other’s company, but needing something new. And then Groupon and Living Social cropped up and gave us a whole new world of ideas for things to do together and sassy little trips to take. They gave us opportunities to do try new stuff together at a discount — especially because we’re not rich. Yet. 

Yeah, yeah, yeah, but what are your manners like?I could never date a guy with bad manners. Never, ever, never, ever, never. Ever. I’m a stickler for good home training from everyone — little kids, pregnant women, beat cops, biker dudes on Harleys. Manners make the world a prettier place to wake up to. But certainly, if I can’t control the minutiae of day-to-day living and expect the big burly guy on the subway not to trample me at the door or chastise the little girl walking to school for tossing her empty Doritos bag on the street, I can demand gentility from a love interest.

I’m not alone in that expectation — in a recent poll of 1,500 single Canadian women between the ages of 18-40, more than half still want men to hold the door open and pay for the first date. Even with all the accouterments of modern womanhood, good ol’ fashioned gentlemanliness is the sexiest quality a man can have. That and swagger will suck me in every. single. time.

Madonna addresses her love life on 20/20Madonna's full-on media storm appears to be underway, as she prepares to perform at the Super Bowl, release a new album, and make her directorial debut with the flick W.E. She'll be on 20/20 tonight chatting with Cynthia McFadden in an "unplugged" interview, and already some of the juicy tidbits have leaked. Apparently, although Madge "feels about interviews the same way most of us feel about root canals," she didn't mind dishing a bit on one topic that's usually off-the-table in celeb tête-à-têtes: Her love life.

In a quote that's sure to get twisted all different ways, the twice-divorced icon acknowledged that although she's seen as a fiercely self-reliant, sexual role model, she's really no different than most of us when it comes to matters of the heart.
