It looks as though Kelsey Grammer has even more to celebrate than his recent win at the Golden Globes. Grammer and his wife, Kayte Walsh, are expecting twins! “I’m really looking forward to meeting these new arrivals,” Grammer announced the news to reporters backstage at the Golden Globes Awards after winning the award for Best Actor in a TV Drama. “Fatherhood’s always different based on the character that comes into your life. They arrive and tell you what you have to do,” he said. The actor, who plays a powerful Chicago mayor on Starz’s Boss, is especially excited to welcome the new additions to the world with the person whom he adores. “[Kayte is] extraordinary,” Grammer said. “She’s one of the most loving, amazing, warm human beings I’ve ever met…and I think she’ll blow [the kids] away.”

Popular social networking sites, such as Facebook, are great for many things. Re-connecting with old classmates, checking out your best friend’s vacation photos and sharing the news that you had an exciting celebrity sighting, are some of the best reasons to log on. But when it comes to your love life, is Facebook your friend… or foe?
Social media provides access to all of the key information about the object of your affection. Status updates revealing their whereabouts, wall posts indicating updates from their friends and photos that can point to previous romantic partners, offer you a glimpse into their private world. If relationships are about getting to know the other person better, it’s easy to see how checking your better half’s page many times per day might be justified.

We’ve all heard a jumble of less-than-educated guesses as to why many celebrity relationships don’t last: “They spend too much time apart.” “They have intimate scenes with other people.” “They’re too obsessed with themselves.” “They only care about fame.” But what are the real reasons for so many celebrity break-ups?
