In spite of leaving her castmates at Jersey Shore before the end of the season for the second time, Angelina’s reality TV career is far from over. According to RadarOnline, just in time for Halloween, the Jersey girl appeared on IFC’s 5-part horror satire series, Dead Set. It seems that Angelina may be trading in her tan juice head guidos for a much paler partner. As part of IFC’s spoof, Angelina shocked the GTL off of her Jersey Shore cast mates by dating the undead. Anyone who thinks their last blind date was bad can’t top Angelina’s date with a zombie. Her disgust can be seen as she speaks in candid detail about why this zombie isn’t right for her. Perhaps, next time she will look for guys on the boardwalk instead of at the graveyard.

0 ‘Millionaire Matchmaker’ Patti Stanger Against a Kim Kardashian and John Mayer Union
Patti Stanger doesn’t have her own show Millionaire Matchmaker for no reason. After the New York Post reported that reality star Kim Kardashian was spotted out and about in NYC with singer, John Mayer, Stanger had some serious advice to share: “No! He’s a douche bag.” US Magazine caught up with the matchmaker to discuss whether she thought there would be fireworks or if the date would be a disaster. Stanger insisted, “She’d chew him up and spit him out and chew him up again.” If his dating history with celebrities such as Jessica Simpson and Jennifer Aniston wasn’t reason enough, Stanger insists, “Kim’s a class act, so I’d never put her with him.” While Mayer might not be the one for Kim Kardashian, there is hope for love in her future. The Millionaire Matchmaker believes Kardashian needs “an A-list actor who likes a brunette hottie…She needs someone who is strong, who will allow her to build her empire. She needs some one serious.” Sorry, John; maybe next time.

0 Jon Gosselin’s Ex-Girlfriend Calls Him a Chronic Liar
After what seemed like a heartfelt message to his family and friends via Twitter, Jon Gosselin’s ex-girlfriend Hailey Glassman is calling him out on his chronic lying habit. Gosselin tweeted, “I am acutely aware of the mistakes I made in 2009 and I am ashamed of the choices I made. I have apologized to Kate, my family, and to my friends. Through counseling I have learned to own my actions. My goal is to move forward in a positive direction.” Despite Gosselin’s seemingly good intentions, Glassman insists that his Twitter apology was just a “negotiating tactic to gain sympathy from the public,” according to RadarOnline. Glassman called her ex a “pathological liar” whose life coach once told her and her parents to “accept his lying and not get mad at him for it because he will then never tell the truth.”

0 Taylor Swift’s Single Days
Country crooner Taylor Swift may be putting her dating history into hit songs, but don’t think that she dates men just for the musical inspiration.

0 Taylor Swift: New Song Slamming John Mayer?
With Taylor Swift’s upcoming album dropping next week, speculation has begun circulating around one of the tracks, entitled “Dear John.” Does it reflect Swift’s once-rumored relationship with crooner John Mayer? Us Magazine reports that Swift, 20, and Mayer, 13 years her senior, were romantically linked last year when the country crooner collaborated with Mayer on the song “Half of my Heart” for his album, Battle Studies. Although Swift refuses to confirm the song is about Mayer, with lyrics like, “You’ll add my name to your long list of traitors, Who don’t understand, And I’ll look back in regret, I ignored what they said, ‘Run as fast as you can,” one can only assume all signs point to the soulful singer and serial dater.

3 Katy Perry’s Pre-Wedding Excitement
Katy Perry is enjoying her final days as a single woman. Following her performance on Britain’s The X-Factor, Perry and fiancé Russell Brand talked to judge Simon Cowell backstage. A source tells Us Magazine, “She had so much fun with Simon, and Russell was chatting with him too. Katy was hugging Russell a lot after her performance. She kept asking him, ‘Was I OK?’ ‘Was it OK?’, but he was nothing but supportive. He was stroking her bum in her catsuit.

On Tuesday, Perry and Brand intend to fly to India for their extravagant 6-day wedding celebration. The few guests, including Rihanna, will stay in “pimped out” tents and are to be flown in on private jets. Despite the extravagance, Brand seemed uneager to talk about the celebration. “I’m trying to preserve it, to keep it a beautiful thing,” Brand explained. “I think people get the wrong idea on how we want the wedding to play out. Love between two people is the most spectacular yet ordinary thing in the world.”

0 5 Signs That George Clooney May Actually Commit
By Kimberly Dawn Neumann of Dating Diva Daily and author of The Real Reasons Men Commit
Recently there have been all kinds of tabloid rumors working to put a chink in the bond between George and his stunning Italian amore-du-jour Elisabetta (sex and drug scandals anyone?). Though Elisabetta has chalked a lot of it up to envy (okay, we’ll admit we’re a little jealous but seriously…that wouldn’t cause us to implicate her in a drug debacle), later this summer there was also a flurry of speculation that E and G were about to become EG (in other words, they were possibly EnGaged).
While more recent reports have explained that the reported left-hand ring flash was actually a napkin ring with which she was playing at dinner (on her left hand while waving it to the paparazzi…ummm…okay, whatever), the reality is that there may actually be some validity to the idea that good ole’ George is in a commitment frame of mind when it comes to his latest gal.

After splitting with Jim Carrey, her boyfriend of five years, Jenny McCarthy has found love again. People reports that the actress is very happy with her new man, Jason Toohey, 35, a Las Vegas-based pirate performer.

I would say I liked things when I didn’t,” she says. “I knew if I wanted to grow, I needed to make myself happy before I could begin to have an equal relationship with another man.” And the most important lesson she learned? Honesty is the best policy. “If he wants Chinese [food] and I don’t, I say it,” she says. “If he wants to go out and I want to stay in and watch Dancing with the Stars, I tell him so… Our relationship is stronger because of the honesty.”How can you have an equal relationship?
0 Kim Kardashian Blames TV for Lack of Love Life
Kim Kardashian’s not too happy with sharing the spotlight, but it’s not her sisters she’s worried about – it’s her boyfriends. The reality star is planning on staying single for awhile, and blames the constant camera attention for complicating her love life.

While there’s no question that The Bachelor and The Bachelorette are must-watch television shows, statistics show that out of a 19 seasons, only two couples have stayed together, while waiting to see how the latest relationship between bachelorette Ali Fedotowsky and Roberto Martinez ends up.

0 Single Celebrities Who Rock (and Rule)!
By Terry Hernon MacDonald of singlewomenrule.com
A happy marriage may be among life’s greatest pleasures, but there’s a lot to be said for living single. For too long, single men and women have been portrayed as unlovable, irresponsible, selfish, or childish. (The media tend to portray single celebs in their 20s as sexy, but once she — and in this case, it’s usually a she — turns 30, the question, “Is there anyone special in your life?” comes with increasing frequency and feigned concern.)
It’s time to celebrate two unmarried women who make single living desirable, and they’re both well over 30. If you’re not there yet, they’ll give you plenty to aspire to; if you are, they’ll give you reasons to be cheerful.
