Eva Longoria: New Guy and New Show?

Has Eva Longoria moved on from her recent split with Eduardo Cruz and the end of Desperate Housewives already?!

The actress, who split from Penélope Cruz’s little brother earlier this month, was spotted dining with Prison Break actor Amaury Nolasco and naturally, darting rumors have already begun to circulate.

So is Longoria dating again? And what’s the new TV show she’s working?

Both Longoria and Nolasco’s reps declined to comment on the dating rumors, sources tell us that they have been very close friends for many years.

Most recently, Nolasco was dating Once Upon a Time star Jennifer Morrison, but a Michigan Ave Magazine cover article on the actress states, “There’s not currently a man in Morrison’s life.”

While Longoria’s own love life remains a mystery, she’s setting out to help others find love in the public eye with her new reality dating show.

A source confirms that Longoria is developing a new dating show for NBC in which professional matchmakers set up single people. The project, which is currently titled All About Love, comes from Longoria’s UnbeliEVAble production company and will feature professional matchmakers Steve Ward (from VH1’s Tough Love) and Amber Kelleher, who owns Kelleher International, an elite dating company.

All About Love is set to go into production next month.

Dating Women: Is revenge on an ex ever justified?

Ilona Szwarc’s ‘American Girls’ Explores The Meaning Of Girlhood In The U.S.

If you grew up with an American Girl doll, you probably remember creating a whole world around it filled with pint-sized clothing, accessories and furniture — maybe even a matching outfit. And as The Hairpin quipped, your doll may have even predicted your future life path and personality. Now Polish-born photographer Ilona Szwarc is asking what these American Girl dolls really have to say about American girlhood.

When Szwarc moved to New York City in 2008, she became immediately intrigued by the idea of the American Girl doll and the industry that surrounded it. “I realized that [the American Girl doll] design embodies contemporary cultural values,” Szwarc wrote. “They were conceived to be anti-Barbie toys modeled after [the] body of a 9-year-old. Each doll can be customized to look exactly like its owner, yet all of them really look the same.” To explore this, Szwarc took a series of photographs of young women across the country posing with their AG dolls. The resulting images are both beautiful and slightly haunting, depicting girls from a diverse range of backgrounds, all standing next to their own miniature avatars.

The series, titled “American Girls,” focuses specifically on “My American Girl” dolls, which consumers customize to look like themselves, rather than the more traditional “Historical Figures” dolls which Szwarc feels project a more positive and educational message. The lookalike line began in 1995, but really expanded after the Pleasant Company was acquired by Mattel in 1998.

“I think there is a natural need to relate to and carve out an identity, and these dolls play an important role for girls,” Szwarc told The Huffington Post in an email. “Girls in the U.S. seem to all be raised as future stars and they feel very entitled — these dolls underscore that.”

I’ve Never Dated Anyone without Dating Their Politics, Too.

As a lifelong Democrat, I never thought I would be in this place. I never thought I would have to confront this dreaded unforeseen fear — the terror that is, for me, dating a Republican. I don’t even know very many Republicans. But it turns out, I’m not alone. Outside of Washington D.C., the entire country is pretty segregated when it comes to political parties. According to dating website, seven out of ten people are in a relationship with someone of the same political persuasion. I grew up knowing very few Republicans and the rare ones I did know got made fun behind their backs, be it children or adults. I know there were some Republicans at my college because there was a “College Republicans” group on campus, but this was the Bushy era and the conservatives who were smart enough to get into my university were too smart to be vocal defenders of the Dick Cheney puppet show that was the aughts. I’ve been living in Los Angeles ever since in the type of place where, at the moment President Obama was pronounced the winner of the race, we threw open our windows and whooped and shrieked out into the streets till an impromptu parade erupted and bars served free drinks. I cried. I’ve worked for the Democratic Party, interned for a Democratic Congressman and Senator. And even though I went to a more conservative law school, there were enough liberals on campus that if you included the faculty, we could flock together so that I rarely interacted with those others who met with our derision.

So when I tell you I never thought I would date a Republican, it’s not because I really contemplated it and made a specific decision. It’s because as long as I didn’t drive to Orange County, my chances of actually running into one felt slim to none. We live in a birds-of-a-feather type of country. So how did I get to here? How did I come to date a man who told me he “liked a lot of Mitt Romney’s ideas” and that he thought John Kerry wasn’t really a war hero and that cap and trade is a terrible system? At first I didn’t think it would be a big issue. I fell in love with someone who has many similar interests and a big generous heart and when he told me he was an Independent, I thought that was just something moderate Democrats said when being pretentious about how non-conformist they are. I didn’t realize I was dating someone who would spend every single Tuesday night glued to Wolf Blitzer’s analysis of another Republican primary. And to be frank, at this point, it’s making me freak out. I get mad at him just thinking about our past political discussions. I can’t date a Republican! What was I thinking? What if I have little Republican babies?

Naturally, he doesn’t think it’s a big deal. He keeps saying we can always find common ground. But I find myself angry with him for things that I expect to take for granted. He admitted to me that the word “liberal” for him had a bad connotation and that the word “conservative” did not. It’s hard to blame him when this is a common phenomena in our country now so that only 20% of the population identifies as liberal while 40% is willing to identify as conservative. I tell him this is a direct result of the vitriol that Fox News and Rush Limbough and Glen Beck have injected into our discourse and he shouldn’t buy into their demonizing of the left. But for my boyfriend, “liberal” means big government inefficiency. I’m normally a calm person, but when he said this, I was close to flipping out. How could he buy into all that? He’s a smart person, he reads reputable news sources. And yet, I continually find myself mad at him for buying into conservative propaganda.

Everyone always points to Mary Matalin and James Carville as shining examples of a couple with different political beliefs and a stable marriage. But honestly, have you seen them bicker on tv? I love watching them but I don’t want to fight like that in my home. I want my home to be a place of tranquility and calm and little social justice fighters playing pin your favorite president on the blue donkey.

Another burgeoning concern is that I’m starting to feel like I always have to watch what I say. Yes, I know there are many intelligent Republicans out there and if the party was made up of just David Frums and Christopher Buckleys or even Mitt Romneys, they’d be a reasonable moderate party that I have an intellectual disagreement with and there wouldn’t be anything to make fun of. But for now, there are a lot of crazy extremist cooks running the Republican party and when you get into Santorum territory and Palin country, I want the freedom to openly mock and deride in a forum where I don’t have to worry about offending someone. Is that so wrong? I’m sick of back-peddling every time I accidentally call them teabaggers.

Months ago, we got to talking about Ron Paul, or rather, my boyfriend got to telling me all about him. Although we don’t disagree that much on social issues, we disagree quite a bit about how influential social issues should be when it comes to casting a ballot, so we started to really get into it. At one point, I said that certain individual rights and liberties should be the most important issue and I was disappointed in my boyfriend because he was willing to forgo those liberties in order to “make a buck.” He was offended and hurt. Admittedly, I went too far and I believe he is compassionate for those less fortunate and I know he doesn’t think he’s sacrificing civil rights for money. But I was making an impassioned argument and this is how liberals talk when we’re amongst friends. To stay in my relationship, I must resolve myself somewhat to being more careful in my language now when talking about fiscal conservatives but in so doing, is that the best decision for a healthy relationship? No one wants to have to walk on eggshells around their partner.

Last week, I went over to my boyfriend’s to watch the HBO docudrama Game Change about Palin’s Vice Presidential bid over some wine and take-out. When it was over, I felt bad for John McCain, but outraged at all the doltish hicks who were venerating this ignorant backwards woman who reveled in her lack of knowledge. My boyfriend on the other hand, said he felt bad for her.

How can you feel bad for her? I was shocked. Why is it always the Republican party that nominates idiots? Joe the Plumber, Christine O’Donnell. Democrats would never allow someone who didn’t understand what the “fed” was to run for city councilman let alone the Vice-Presidency.

How much do you really know about what the Fed does? He shot back.

I almost lost it. In that moment, he was impugning my knowledge and at the same time defending Sarah Palin. I was livid. How can I build my life with someone who defends Sarah Palin and thinks “liberal” is a dirty word? We went back and forth for a while with me spouting off economic knowledge and him keeping my rhetoric in check. But I went to bed angry that night.

I know we’re not supposed to try to change our significant others, but I can’t help but hope that I might be able to make a tried and true blue Democrat out of him. It’s worked somewhat so far, as I’ve been able to convince him that John Kerry really was a war hero and that Mitt Romney has backtracked on climate change. And maybe I am better off calling them teapartyers and aside from adjusting interest rates I don’t really know that much about the Fed. Congress recently passed the first Bi-partisan piece of legislation in years so if they can do it, surely two people who love each other and share many of the same values can find common ground as well. Now, if I could only get him to start watching Bill Maher with me…

Hackers steal passwords from military dating site.

LulzSec comes back with data dump from site for single military officers.

Hackers broke into the database for a military dating Web site and stole passwords, e-mail addresses, and other information from nearly 171,000 accounts, according to a post on the Pastebin site this weekend:

“The website http://www.militarysingles.com/ was recently closed day ago or so, so we dumped email db,” the hackers said in their post. “There are emails such as @us.army.mil ; @carney.navy.mil ; @greatlakes.cnet.navy.mil ; @microsoft.com ; etc..”

So-called “data dumps” are a common occurrence, but what makes this one notable is that the group is using the names “LulzSec” and “LulzSec Reborn.” The FBI announced the arrest three weeks ago of alleged key members of the LulzSec group of hackers who had taunted government agents and harassed government contractors and other corporations by attacking their sites and stealing data since last year. The group was reportedly brought down by one of their own, known as “Sabu,” who had apparently been working as an informant since last summer when he pleaded guilty to computer hacking conspiracy and other charges.The group took credit for attacks on sites belonging to Sony, PBS.org, the U.S. Senate, CIA, Arizona sheriffs, and others before announcing last June that they were calling it quits following a 50-day hacking spree. Their retirement was short lived though, as hackers using the LulzSec name continued their seige on law enforcement and corporate sites. Representatives from ESingles, which operates the dating site, did not respond to an e-mail seeking comment today. However, the firm commented on an article about the breach on site.

Kingfish Labs Raises $500,000 To Turn Facebook Profiles Into Dating Profiles And Mutual Friends Into Matchmakers.

There are a lot of dating sites and many of them pull in Facebook data. Few of them actually sit on top of Facebook and reorder profiles based on your dating preferences.

Yoke is Kingfish Lab’s first Facebook app. Kingfish Labs is a new company that raised $500,000 from Lerer Ventures and Softbank Capital to crunch Facebook data and create recommendation apps.

“Mark Zuckerberg said Facebook’s first five years were about building a user base and the next five are about creating an app economy. We believe that,” says Kingfish Labs co-founder Rob Fishman.

Kingfish Labs and Yoke were founded by Fishman and a fellow Huffington Post employee, Jeff Revesz.

Rob Fishman served as Huffington Post’s social media editor. Jeff Revesz joined the company in 2010 when his startup, Adaptive Semantics, was acquired. There they met Ken Lerer, Huffington Post’s co-founder and an investor in Kingfish Labs. They’re working out of Lerer Ventures’ office at 560 Broadway in New York City.

Yoke launched out of private beta last week; 2,500 people have signed up to use the service. When a user signs up for Yoke, they can say if they’re single or in a relationship. If they’re in a relationship, they become a matchmaker and can introduce single friends to each other. If they’re single, they can send a Yoke or Facebook message to a friend for an introduction to the second degree person.

Fishman says he and his team of four have been working to analyze Facebook data for future Yoke-like products.

“It’s easy to imagine a situation where the Facebook recommendation data we have on the back end can be generalized,” says Fishman.  “You could have an app that recommends music to you, and it becomes easier to make because we’ve already done the work on the back end.  Or if you’re a publisher like Huffington Post and a Facebook user stumbles across an article, they can recommend it to other like-minded people. The most obvious layer is recommending people to people, like Yoke, but you can drill down deeper.”

My husband goes on dating websites to meet other women – Coleen Nolan’s advice column

I’ve been married for two years, but have been with my husband for four years and we have a two-year-old daughter.

At the moment I just don’t know what to do as my husband is ­going on dating websites and setting up ­profiles, saying that he’s single and wants to meet someone for fun only, no sex involved.

He’s also started to go out more and I know he’s flirting with other girls and getting their numbers and texting them behind my back.

I do love my husband, but I just can’t put up with this kind of behaviour any more. I’m not sure how to handle the situation, though, because every time I bring it up, he turns around and blames me, saying that I’m the one who’s ­pushing him that way.

He makes me feel like the bad one, so I always end up running back to him. Recently, I caught him at it again and finished it, but he says he won’t take me back unless I fulfil all his sexual fantasies. I don’t think this is fair.

I really am at breaking point – can you help?

Coleen says..

Look, he’s never going to change while you keep saying it’s over then go running back to him. He knows you don’t mean it.

Stop threatening him with that, but tell him in no uncertain terms that he either stops what he’s doing because it’s threatening your marriage or it’s over.

But you have to mean it. However, you have to ask yourself if you really want to be with someone who batters your self-esteem till it’s nothing and makes out it’s your fault, before laying down conditions on which he’ll take you back. How dare he? It’s mental abuse.

Why bring up your girl in a relationship where she thinks that’s how women should be treated? If you can’t stand up to him for yourself, do it for her and say that you won’t be treated like this.

I understand it’s easy for me to give you this advice as I’m not in love with him, but at some point you have to find the strength within yourself not to put up with this and to break the cycle of ­threatening him with ­leaving.

Draw on your friends and family for support – don’t struggle on your own. Why not take your daughter and stay at your mum’s or with a friend? Whatever you do, he needs to know you mean business.

I think he’ll end up on dating sites his whole life, as I can’t imagine many women putting up with that kind of behaviour.

As this century dawned and half the world was waking up to the first day of the Noughties, I was walking down the Strand ending my seven year relationship. I was 35 and it felt like hell. Most of my friends and all of my siblings had children. I came from a family of six and in my twenties had never questioned that I would be a mother. But in fact I did not have that compelling need, as some women do, to have a baby. As my best childbearing years were already behind me, I accepted that I had probably missed that boat.

At first I quite liked being single again anyway. I liked running on the Common in the early mornings before work. I liked having the papers to myself on a Sunday. And I quite liked the open book my life had become. I went on some great holidays learning to sail with a crew of French and Irishmen off the coast of Cork; doing Tai Chi with a bunch of girls on a Greek Island and learning Thai massage from someone of dubious gender on a beach in Koh Phangan.

But going to parties alone, spending Christmas Day literally alone in my flat, twice, and worst of all, going to bed alone at night were not easy.

Over the next five years in between singles holidays and solitary Christmases I went from one cliche – the Office Christmas Party Romance With The Boss which lasted a year – to another, a three year dalliance with a man so afraid of commitment he would not buy cinema tickets in case he turned out not to like the film.

As I approached 40 instead of feeling panicked I began to feel a new confidence. No, I was not quite ready for spinsterhood yet. I clearly had a dodgy relationship radar, so maybe I needed to look in a different way. Perhaps technology could help. I knew the prejudices about online free dating: it was all married men looking for an extra-marital fling, no one looked like their picture and everyone lied about their age. But I had a friend, who had met his partner on line. He was genuine, he was kind, he was solvent, he was even handsome. My logic said that if he was out there, there might be more like him. I just had to look.

Over the next year I went on free dating with about 10 different men, most of them one-offs. None, contrary to the myth, were married. They varied between chronic shyness and laughable arrogance. One walked off leaving me at a restaurant table because I would not drink. One sent me a nasty email on free dating after I abandoned the date because he was running so late.

Only two fell into the category of ‘A Bit Scary’ – the first telling me how he nursed his mother to her death as we walked along a very dark street and the second who was furious that my long hair had been cut into a bob since my profile photo on free dating had been taken. He accused me of being two different people.

There was one Possible – a media lawyer, who was funny and clever. We went on a few dates, which I really enjoyed, but it became clear that he was still recovering from a very painful divorce.

Then there was Porsche Man, who I only spoke to on the phone. On his profile on free dating he sounded OK and his picture looked nice, but as we tried to arrange a time to meet up, he mentioned, at least twice, that he owned a Porsche and seemed upset that I was not more impressed. It became clear that he was about to tell me I should count myself lucky, before I made my excuses…

However, that same November evening I received a call from another man whose profile I had picked out one night as I sat in bed with tonsillitis, feeling feverish, seriously unattractive and impatient. I could not be bothered chatting free dating by email and simply sent my phone number saying, “If you are interested, call me.”

By then I had learned what to look for when checking a prospect’s profile on free dating– not the photo. It tells you very little. I had also changed mine from one where I thought I looked my best – makeup, earrings and a black cocktail dress – to one taken by my cousin, in which I looked relaxed, friendly: my approachable self.

His profile on free dating said he liked films. I love films and we had both listed On Golden Pond as one of our favourites. He was an engineer – a scientist to my arts background. I was attracted to someone who could actually do stuff. He was a Kiwi but had lived in London for over 20 years. I had worked with loads of New Zealanders and loved their reluctance to take anyone or anything very seriously. We both liked sailing and walking. He described himself through his friends’ eyes – a humility I warmed to straight away. His photo on free dating
showed a kind, strong face and loads of hair. He was divorced with two children in their late teens, who lived with their mother. The clarity and tact with which he covered this on his profile said a lot about him. I was not put off by his having been married before. It meant he was able to commit, and must have some idea about relationships with women. He was 12 years my senior but so was my father to my mother.

It wasn’t all plain sailing. My first impression when I walked up to shake his hand on that bright November day, was that he had only one eye and had doctored his profile photo to disguise it. As we stood discussing where to have coffee I wondered if I could love a one-eyed man. It was not until we were sitting down having lunch that I realised he had been squinting into the low winter sun.

Oh did I say lunch? Yes. My strict rule on coffee-only for first dates was brushed aside in favour of a ‘nice little Thai place’, just around the corner. But I let it go. At the end of the afternoon I offered him a lift to the station, breaking my second rule of free dating.

I wouldn’t say it was love at first sight, but something was definitely different. On our third date we agreed to take down our profiles from the website.

We bumped around for a bit through all the usual stuff of any new relationship. He had not chatted anyone up for a long time and it showed. I had not trusted anyone for a long time, and it showed. One of our first dates was a Christmas riverboat party thrown by the company where he worked. I dressed up – long velvet gown, new hair-do. When he arrived to pick me up I commented on how nice he looked. The compliment was not returned and I was furious (I have since coached him in how and when to compliment).

But when trouble struck we just could not be apart, no matter how annoying the other one could be. By February we were properly going out. On Valentine’s Day we ran off to Brighton and stayed at The Grand – a tradition we continue to this day.

The moment came when I knew he was The One after a row in which I had panicked and called it all off. As I put the phone down, I thought about how happy he had made me. I simply could not countenance my life without him. I had never felt that way about anybody. I slept on it to see if it felt any different the next day. It didn’t. After two days I called him back and told him that I loved him. I just had not known it.

We were about five months into the relationship when one afternoon, over a chat in a tea shop, our worlds changed for ever. The dating site had asked whether you wanted children. We had both ticked ‘no’, he because he already had two, me because I was over 40 and was being realistic.

“You know, I would like a baby with you,” he said, just like that, as I poured the tea.

By the time the scones turned up we were engaged. Well not officially. I made him propose properly much later, with a ring, on bended knee, on top of a mountain, with snow and everything. But really there was no going back from that moment. I realised, right then, that I would like a baby with him too.

We got married that summer and our son was born two years later, healthy and bright. Both conception and birth were achieved without the aid of modern medicine, though I was in hospital for the latter. I was 43.

Match with online dating sites

Giving out your number has taken on a whole new meaning in the online dating world. Direct carrier biller mopay announced the launch of new payment service tailored for online matchmaking sites that lets users of online dating services pay for those services using their mobile numbers. The services are then billed directly to the user’s mobile phone bill.

YanikaDate.com launched the new service at Yanika INC 2012 U.S., the annual conference for cyber matchmakers. The company said it is already working with several international dating sites to implement the service.

“The online dating industry is a fast-paced, thriving and competitive market filled with young, mobile-savvy consumers,” said Kolja Reiss, managing director of mopay. “At mopay, we see a real opportunity to help online dating services realize their full potential by including an alternative payments strategy.”

Reiss said consumers of online dating services don’t want the hassles and risks association with using credit cards.

“By selecting mopay as a payment option, online daters can focus on finding the perfect date – not their credit card,” Reiss said.

The solution is similar to other direct carrier billing services used for gaming and social media. Consumers simply enter their mobile numbers at the checkout screen and confirm the purchase with a text message. The subscription is then added to their monthly phone bill. It handles both single and recurring charges up to $50.

For dating sites, the new payment option provides increased traffic and conversion, mopay said. Not only do visitors convert to members at a faster rate, but direct carrier billing also appeals to the unbanked market, opening up a new market. Additionally, since an actual phone is required to complete the transaction, direct carrier billing provides a higher level of security. That means dating sites have less likelihood for fraud with the payment method, the company said.

Kim Kardashian: If You Truly Loved Kris Humphries, Then Why Did You Divorce Him?

Kim, you insisted to Kelly Ripa on ‘Live! with Kelly’ on Jan. 23, that you truly loved Kris and that you tried everything to make marriage work — but that can’t be true.

Kim — if you truly loved Kris Humphries when you married him on Aug. 20 2011, then there’s no way that you could have fallen out of love just a few weeks later.

That’s not how love works. True love is a much stronger, deeper emotion than that. It doesn’t just exist for a couple of months — enough time to get engaged and married — then go puft — as soon as you start to live together and film a reality show.

Yes, infatuation, can disappear within a matter of months, especially, if you were infatuated simply with the idea of a wedding, more than an actual person.But real love doesn’t dissolve into simply not caring, at all, 72 days later.

Furthermore, you declared to Kelly that you tried “everything” to save your marriage within that 72 days, but again, Kim — you know that’s impossible.

Remember — you filmed a reality show virtually from the beginning of your marriage. In the first couple of episodes you were gung ho to get pregnant and start a family with Kris — so you must have still been happily married at that point.

Then, all of a sudden Kris was starting to “annoy” you, you needed to take a “sister” weekend away from Kris. You were upset that he went to Toronto to make a public appearance without your approval.

Before that you were miffed that he has a small party in your hotel suite when you weren’t there. Then you were off to Dubai — alone — on business where you confided in your mother that you weren’t happy in your marriage — it was OVER!

So where did the trying everything to save your marriage come in? At what point were you truly trying to work out your issues and problems with Kris? When did you even tell him how you felt about him and the marriage? When did you get counseling?

What in fact, were your real problems with Kris? We never saw him being that difficult or unloving on the show? We did not see you trying to control him. We saw you disapprove of him every time he did anything independent of you. But he was never malicious. He never cheated. In fact, we never saw him look at another woman.

We did see him being puzzled or hurt by your cold behavior to him and his sister, Kaela.

So we’re not quite buying into your statement that you “tried everything” in 72 days, to make your marriage work. Seventy – two days in itself is NOT a long time to make any marriage work, and especially one that is being filmed for a reality show.

It’s also not a long time to fall out of love with a person that you really did love when you said your wedding vows. And to coldly serve them divorce papers when you were thousands of miles apart. If you had had any feelings left for Kris, at all then you would have handled the split far differently.

Didn’t he deserve more consideration because of your past feelings at least, when you split. Was it really fair to off load him by filing divorce papers without his knowledge, allow them to be leaked to the press, and then leaving for Australia, the very same day?

Justin Bieber Holds Selena Gomez’s Hand In Puerto Rico — Cute New Pic

Justin was with Selena in Puerto Rico this week to show some international love.

Justin Bieber may be back in the states now, but he and Selena Gomez were enjoying some couple time in Puerto Rico on Jan. 23, and one lucky fan captured their PDA first-hand! Though you can’t see her face in this photo, Selena is following closely behind Justin as they make their way through the airport en route to the U.S. He’s always protecting her!

Selena performed in Puerto Rico on Jan. 22, flashing quite a bit of leg in a sexy on-stage ensemble.

Earlier that day, Justin tweeted a photo of himself sleeping at the airport — clearly excited to fly to Puerto Rico to see Selena!

‘Bachelor’ Ben Flajnik: Did Courtney Robertson Deceive Me?

It sounds like Ben is finally realizing that Courtney was more into winning the competition than falling in love with him while they were filming ‘The Bachelor.’

Ben Flajnik seems completely whipped by cunning Courtney Robertson on this season of The Bachelor. On air, he’s falling hard for her, but he doesn’t see her manipulative ways. Now, after watching the Jan. 23 episode, Ben seems to be starting to realize that Courtney isn’t who she pretended to be while filming.

“One thing I was completely oblivious to was Courtney causing such a stir with the other women,” Ben writes in his personal People.com blog. “I thought that she was just making the most of her moments with me. It’s really hard to not let your mind get caught up in ‘Do I really know that this person is being sincere?’”

At the time Ben was filming episode four, he thought Courtney was being sincere. But now, he seems to be questioning her motives. “I tried to give everyone the benefit of the doubt,” he explains. “I tried not to go into this experience with the fear that I was getting played, but I will say that if I let myself go there, it’s a common fear in any relationship. Am I seeing the real side to this person?”

“While I was feeling all these positive thoughts, little did I know there was a big blowout between Emily and Courtney happening, which again makes me wonder what was I not really seeing in some of the women,” continues Ben. “It’s really hard to navigate this process, especially when I don’t see what is going on between the ladies when I’m not in the room.”

Ben is reportedly secretly engaged to Courtney right now — and it sounds like he may be reevaluating their relationship at this point entirely. “Even though there was drama amongst the women, I decided to rely on my own intuitions and make up my mind for myself,” he shares. “Whether or not this was the right decision, I don’t know, it still remains to be seen.”

Cameron Diaz Saves Her Hair

In just one week, the actress took her hair from curly and crazy to straight and sleek. Do you love her latest hairstyle?

Cameron Diaz showed off her short bob cut styled in curls on January 15 at the 2012 Golden Globe Awards after party. In a HollywoodLife.com poll, 60% of readers thought the hairstyle was just not a good look on Cameron. Just one week later, she looks completely different at the Versace Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2012 presentation at Paris Fashion Week. Do you think Cameron looks much better with straight hair? Vote below!

Getting a new hair cut can be tricky. It takes time to figure out how to style it so that it looks best with your face shape and personal style. Cameron is definitely getting the hang of her new bob!

Madonna ‘W.E.’ Premiere: Is Her Dress Lovely Or Too Loud?

The star looked like she got into a fight with too much tulle before stepping out on the red carpet — what did you think of her dress last night?

Madonna loves to bring drama to the red carpet, and all eyes were definitely on her on Jan. 23 in NYC, where the star turned up for the premiere of the film she directed, W.E.. While the bodice of her embroidered velvet Marchesa gown was gorgeous, the tulle sleeves were way too overpowering — it looked more like a costume!

Madonna can pull of practically everything, so seeing the star in something so dramatic definitely isn’t surprising — and she also has the confidence to walk out in this look without it taking her over, so I commend her for that — any other star would’ve been lost within this dress! That being said, this still wasn’t my fave get-up on Madonna.
