Heidi Montag says she’s madly in love with her husband, Spencer Pratt, but did she have eyes for someone else? According to RadarOnline, the former Hills star may have had a secret crush on her plastic surgeon, Dr. Frank Ryan, who recently died in a car accident. In fact, sources say that the crush bordered on obsession. Montag tried to see Frank as much as possible, going so far as to get ten plastic surgeries in a single day. “I believe she was romantically obsessed with him … She saw him as a night in shining armor,” says Dr. Ryan’s close friend, Dawn DaLuise. However, Montag claims that it was Dr. Ryan who wanted her to be his “barbie doll.”

Engaged Bachelorette couple Ali Fedotowsky and Roberto Martinez aren’t sure of their holiday schedule yet, because “scheduling is difficult,” says Fedotowsky. One thing that is for sure, however, is that the blonde Bachelorette wants a yellow beach cruiser and Christian Louboutin shoes “really bad” for Christmas, according to Us Weekly. Unfortunately, there’s one issue with her wish list. Martinez says, “I don’t know what they look like!”

Thanksgiving, cake — [it’s] all about me on Thanksgiving!”
Courteney Cox’s recent split with husband David Arquette has been making quite a few headlines. Unfortunately, news of the break-up has also been affecting Cox’s daughter, six-year-old, Coco. The actress’ Cougar Town costar Josh Hopkins told People, “The day that the news of the separation broke, there were paparazzi outside of their house, and they were taking pictures when Courteney took Coco to school.” Though Courteney Cox has remained strong at home and professional at work, “Coco [still] sees these things, because [paparazzo are] not a normal thing in any respect, and she is a precocious child.” Hopkins went on to explain that the couple’s split is tougher than most due to their celebrity status. “There’s no doubt they have a lot to deal with right now…more than you would in your average separation.”

Prior to this indiscretion, he cheated with another woman and continued to keep in touch with her on Facebook. “[Eva] is devastated, she wants us all to know that, but she’s strong,” said Lopez.

Recent Glee guest Gwyneth Paltrow is making headlines lately. Even though she’s part of a high-profile celebrity relationship herself, she is speaking out against “unnecessary” celebrity couples. In fact, she went so far as to tell CNN, “It’s just unnecessary to be a public couple, and to have your couple-dom or whatever be its own entity. It doesn’t make sense to have that in the public world.”
Alright, Gwyneth, I see your point. There are definitely famous couples who live for the spotlight, which is pathetic. One obvious example is former Hills stars Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt.
After weeks of suspense, Snooki’s finally ready to put a face to the tweets and an answer to the question on every Jersey Shore fan’s minds: “Who is Snooki’s mystery man?” According to RadarOnline, Snooki just released pictures of herself with her new boyfriend, Jionni LaValle enjoying Disney World together this past weekend, and it’s “LOVE”! Jionni LaValle is a teacher and not so fond of the limelight, which is a huge difference from Snooki’s former “juicehead” boyfriends. It’s also the reason it took Snooki so long to show off her new man.

Reality. If reality was an actual person, I’d probably punch it in the neck. Why? Sometimes, or most times (depending on how much baby Jesus thinks I suck) reality really is a jerk. Only sometimes, though.
I’m a dork, I gigantic geek bag! It’s true. No, really, it is! I was a nerd before it was cool, dammit! However, there’s just no helping a person’s uninformed perception aka ignorance. You see, being a dork and an odd ball, dating women was often lost on me. No women wanted to date a geek like me, I thought.
You never heard about Dustin Diamond dating a hot girl, now did you? If you did, surely you chuckled at such a ridiculous rumor. However, the coolness of nerds and geeks has sky rocketed over the years, with shows like Beauty and the Geek and the rise to stardom of actors, like my hero, Seth Rogen.
Former Bachelor winner Jesse Csincsak and his pregnant wife, Ann Lueders, still find ways to stay active and healthy together, People reports. Lueders, who used to jog daily pre-pregnancy, has swapped her jogging sneakers for hiking boots as her and her husband take their two Siberian huskies on two mile walks. Now in her third trimester, Lueders and Csincsak have toned down the level of exercise in their lifestyle, but they haven’t cut it out all together.

First impressions are incredibly important, and even more so when it comes to dating. People make a snap decision when they meet someone if that person is going to be a friend or potential date. Instant decisions are an innate process in us, and most of the time we don’t change our mind. I have met men who in theory are exactly what I want, but they failed to impress, and I lost the urge to pursue dating them. Or men who in their dating profiles are good looking, they have great “stats,” and then they misspell something. For example, the last guy to message me said in his profile that he is “very intelligant.” Afraid not pal.
When we first meet a person we size them up, make judgments and decide if this person is going to get us naked. My roommate will not date a man who shows up with dirty shoes. So if his white sneakers have the slightest tinge of dirt on them, she is done with him. I eliminate men based on their literary knowledge. It may be silly, but we all do it. A guy friend of mine wouldn’t even entertain the idea of dating a brunette, because blondes were his “thing.” We decide that a person isn’t for us based on that first minute or so.

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt are making headlines once again. The Hills couple are now planning to renew their vows. “I feel like our first [wedding] was an elopement and we had so many margaritas and it was such a crazy time…and then the second one wasn’t our wedding. It was just a Hills wedding, and it was for all the people there, and it was about everyone else,” said Heidi Montag, according to Us Weekly. The couple’s marriage has had its fair share of ups and downs so far, including short-lived divorce proceedings. Heidi Montag explained, saying, ” We had just gone through so much crazy stuff personally and through our jobs and everything, so for me this feels like our first real marriage. Like our first restart. We deserve a second chance at our marriage and really having this moment and not being robbed of this.”

Charlie Sheen’s recent escort escapades are good for a raunchy laugh, but they are part of a trend in bad celebrity behavior that has poisoned my own ideas about passion. I have always chased fame – which never seemed to match up with love – despite the fact that my devoted parents have been together for almost 30 years. While I’m sure there are plenty of Hollywood homebodies with happy marriages, we are constantly bombarded with the burning Bentley car wreck of celebrity relationships.
