When it comes to the ups and downs of love, The Boss has shared some valuable lessons with us over the years. Here are some of the most important points in a romantic education, Springsteen style:
1. Love Makes it Impossible to Sleep — In the oft-covered “I’m On Fire,” Bruce rumbles the line “at night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet/ and a freight-train running through the middle of my head/ but you/ you cool my desire.” Anyone who’s ever felt the pangs of a complicated love affair can immediately identify with this exhausting sentiment.

VH1 decided not to renew Audrina Patridge self-titled reality show for a second season, but Patridge couldn’t be happier as the cancellation may just be what she needed to repair her on-again, off-again relationship with her boyfriend, BMX rider Corey Bohan. “Filming a reality show really takes a toll on relationships because your mindset is to create good TV,” the former “The Hills” star told People. “It’s really really hard on relationships so after the show, Corey [Bohan] and I really worked on what was going on with us. We spent time together.” Audrina’s breakup with Corey may have been good for her show’s finale, but the couple has since rekindled their relationship and got back together in May.

How many people look at Demi Moore and think, “Wow, she is so hot!” … and yet Ashton Kutcher couldn’t stop turning his head, body and well, everything else towards other women.
So what is it? Why do men look at other women when they have the lady of their dreams standing right beside them? Don’t worry ladies. It’s much less heart wrenching than you think, but yes, they still need to quit it.

The typical hollywood relationship seems to end in breakup, so what’s the key to the success of Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck’s seven year marriage? The key to their marriage appears to be being there for each other. But obviously, gifts don’t hurt either, and Affleck makes sure to shower his wife and two daughters with jewelery. According to People, Garner says that Affleck “knows when to swoop in with the gesture, He’s sweet that way,” and that she “would do anything for that man, because I know it’s not taken for granted.” Clearly, the couple is doing something right as their family continues to grow with a third child on the way.

Their quick marriage and much-talked-about divorce may be making the headlines still, but Kris Humphries says he doesn’t pay the gossip about his situation with Kim Kardashian much mind. “I think that if people know me they know who I am and what I stand for,” he said, according to Hollyscoop. “I’m a fun guy and I don’t play into the gossip. That’s life.” There’s also much speculation that the couple’s relationship deteriorated as a result of it being plastered all over reality TV. To those assumptions, Humphries says, ““I can’t say for sure. It’s the only time I’ve been married. [But] I’ve been in front of cameras on the NBA since I was 19.”

Rosie O’Donnell has no problem splurging for her love. The talk show host, 49, told her audience on Monday that she was engaged to girlfriend Michelle Rounds, reports UsMagazine.com. O’Donnell reportedly spent $100,000 for the engagement ring. “The cushion cut center diamond is approximately 4 carats, and since it’s set in platinum, the diamond will be held more securely,” said jewelry expert Michael O’Connor. “There may be additional significance to the fact that the center diamond is surrounded by ’rounds’ set into a platinum collar.”
