    Maci Bookout seems to be one of the most down-to-earth Teen Mom stars. Sure, she's had her ups and downs in relationships, but the drama has been minimal -- no rehab to speak of, no abuse allegations, basically nothing remotely resembling Jenelle Evans' love life. You gotta adore her for that! But, at the same time, she seems to have the tendency to juggle the attention of several different guys who are often exes. Hello, trouble!

    As far as we know, Maci Bookout is still seeing boyfriend Taylor McKinney ... Although, she did tweet on February 10 that "long distance relationships are evil." So, maybe there's a little trouble in paradise? And if that is the case, it's possible baby daddy Ryan Edwards saw an opening for him to step in and start flirting up a storm with his ex. Oh yes, he did.

    When you think of a stalker, you think of someone who won't leave you alone -- but who is also scary, threatening, and even mentally disturbed. But there are other kinds of stalkers. Stalking is about someone trying to control their victim -- and people use different methods to try and control. One of those methods can be "niceness." It can be manipulative, boundary-busting, and incredibly hurtful, but it's maybe harder to understand than the typical stalking. But, yes, there is such a thing as the "Nice Stalker." Let me explain.

    We've all been through that kind of breakup or divorce.

    Y'know, the one that leaves us weak in the knees, gasping for air, and wondering how it all went so wrong. The one that leaves our hearts breaking, wondering how we are going to get through the next five minutes, let alone next five years.

    Yeah. That breakup. The one where you are beyond crushed because you are still very much in love with your soon-to-be ex -- and you don't want the relationship to end.

    So if that's how you feel, is it wise to stay friends? How do you move on? How do you keep those romantic feelings at bay?

    I knew a girl once who, only semi-bitterly, referred to Valentine's Day as "Singles' Awareness Day."

    Newly engaged, I merely laughed at the notion -- the most fun I'd had on Valentine's Day was during my seahorse period. My girlfriends and I, who all happened to be single at the time, by some miracle of luck, went out and celebrated together.

    It was the best Valentine's Day ever.

    This one, though, which is looming over me like a particularly cheerful cloud, is going to be a bit ... different.

    My husband of nearly 10 years and I decided in July that were going to take a detour from "marriage city" to "divorce rock city," which isn't nearly as good as the song, but I digress.

    After a decade together and three kids under our belts, we'd become more friends than partners, and it was time for us both to move forward in our lives. Just ... apart.

    But we've been careful -- beyond careful -- to put aside personal differences and make sure that we stay friends after the divorce is final.

    Why?

    Simple: The kids deserve it.

    Soooooo Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez are over, right? I mean, I think they've been spotted back in each other's company recently -- but they're not actually dating again, from what I can tell.

    But if Selena is even close to considering getting back together with Justin, she might want to think long and hard about it. I know he's the Biebs and plenty of girls would kill for the opportunity to be his girlfriend, but Selena may not be too keen on the idea of giving him another chance -- because he may have cheated on her with a very well known singer.

    Yep -- he reportedly cheated on Selena at the beginning of their relationship, and you'll never guess with who. (You can try, but I doubt you'll figure it out.)

    Um, yeah. The war between Brandi Glanville and LeAnn Rimes has been a bit on the heated side, to say the least, ever since Eddie Cibrian left Brandi for LeAnn after the news broke that he'd been cheating with her.

    And as nutty as both of these women sound on any given day of the year, I'll admit that I've always felt slightly bad for LeAnn, simply because she's been labeled a homewrecker. There are plenty of other celebs who have stolen women's husbands and are still hailed as decent human beings. (Yes, I'm talking to you, Angelina Jolie.)

    But after hearing Brandi tell how she found out Eddie was cheating with LeAnn, I gotta say -- that girl deserves every ounce of rage Brandi has thrown her way.

    You know that heart-stopping moment when you realize you’ve lost track of your child? Now imagine that happened when you woke up in the morning, and your car is also missing. Panic attack, anyone? I bet that’s what one mom in Pittsburgh experienced when she couldn’t find her 6-year-old daughter on Sunday morning.

    Thankfully this story has nothing to do with kidnapping, and no one, including the little girl, was hurt. It turns out that the small fry grabbed mom’s BMW keys and took a joy ride to go see her dad across town.

    Oh, my heart hurts today. In a twist on the standard child custody cases that make the news, a dad named Richard Rodwell is making news for getting back the child support he'd paid to his wife plus damages totalling $40,000. It turns out Rodwell really never needed to pay because his kids weren't really his kids at all.

    Rodwell's ex-wife, Helen, had been lying to him for years. Eventually a paternity test proved the teenaged kids each had different fathers. But while this one is marked in the win column for the rights of men, I don't see any winners here.

    I've been quietly searching for jobs since July, when the "D-word" finally came out of the shadows and into the light.

    I've been freelancing for years -- I even run my own non-for-profit organization, but the "not-for-profit" part of running that organization plus the irregularity of a freelancer's schedule has made me a bit more than stressed to the gills.

    Starting over at 32 isn't easy.
