If any of you saw the Hunger Games recently, you were in for a bloodbath–a very entertaining, very well produced bloodbath.  I’m a huge fan of Suzanne Collins, and the movie was one of the best I’ve seen in a long time.  But while I cheered for Katniss, cursed the gamekeeper, and threw popcorn at President Snow, I couldn’t help but notice that some of the lessons of Hunger Games could also be applied to relationships:

In recent years, the divorce rate in America has hovered around 50 percent, and in Hollywood, this statistic appears to be closer to 70 percent.

For some celebrity couples, rushing into a serious relationship or even marriage is no big deal; they can always break up or file for an annulment or divorce, knowing that their family, friends and fans will stand behind them.  They are not held accountable by their vows, viewing any “easy way out” as an acceptable solution.

But why do so many Tinseltown twosomes approach romance with such a wavering attitude, in such fleeting terms?  Here are just a few reasons why some celebrity relationships change with the seasons:

Though we women pride ourselves on how ‘we’ve come a long way, baby,’ we still fall prey to the charms of bad boys.  Why?  It all starts with Daddy — the first man we’ve ever loved.  If this relationship was dysfunctional, such as with a father who was abusive, depressed, a workaholic, or simply divorced and unavailable, we feel unlovable and grow up with a penchant for bad boys.

The Dozen Dangerous Devils, or 12 types of bad boys, include the: Fixer-Upper Lover, Compulsive Flirt, Grandiose Dreamer, Misunderstood and Married, Mr. Power Mad, Commitment Phobe, Wounded Poet, Self-Absorbed Seducer, Man of Mystery, Dramatic Daredevil, Prince of Darkness and Lethal Lover.  We are attracted to one or more of these types in an unconscious effort to turn our disappointment with Daddy into a fairytale happy ending.

My sister and I grew up in Suburbia, which affords bored, middle-class children multiple opportunities for creative mayhem.  My sister, therefore, functioned as a-guinea pig of sorts.  For instance, picture a 10-year-old and his friends chasing you around with Super Soakers filled to the hilt with pickle juice.  You’d have hated me, too.  When we both hit adolescence, we grew up a little bit.  We went to high school and started to test the dating waters.  As if being a 14-year-old, pimple-faced fat kid wasn’t enough, I had to come home to the chiding laughter of my older, hotter, more dating-tested sister whenever I failed.  Good news of failed romance spreads fast in Suburbia.  My immaturity blinded me from taking in the romance lessons that are now so clear to me.  Let’s break them down:
