Guethary is now on the map. The little French village with a population of 1,600 was the recent vacation spot for Madonna and her much-younger dancer boyfriend Brahim Zaibat last Tuesday for two weeks, according to People. The couple was spotted Wednesday morning in matching exercise gear biking on the village’s cycling paths before meeting with her 14 year-old daughter Lourdes at a beach close to the village port. Still, the biggest question remains to be answered is, why Guethary? “We have three hotels, six small restaurants and no nightclub,” said a representative from the local tourist office. “We’re known for our three surfing beaches, but besides from that there’s nothing. Only reason she would come here for … is … is the quiet.”

It’s not uncommon for guys to become attracted to sisters of their friends. When the attraction is mutual and a dating relationship develops, there are some guidelines that should be followed in order to keep the original friendship intact. Here are ten tips to avoid issues when you’re dating your friend’s sister:
1. Don’t take sides: If there’s a disagreement between your friend and his sister, do not take sides. Insist on remaining neutral and not being brought into the middle of the argument. It is a no-win situation for you, should you voice any opinion at all.
2. Don’t share stories: This works both ways. Don’t share stories about his sister with him, and don’t share stories about things your friend has done with his sister. Keep your lips sealed tight.

The Armenian beauty tied the knot with Kris Humphries on Saturday at a beautiful estate in Montecito, California. 450 guests were in attendance. According to People, the two were married in a traditional Christian ceremony officiated by the Humphries family’s pastor, Joel Johnso.

I love and miss you, dad.”
Love appears to have finally pulled through for an upbeat Bachelor Pad 2 alum Gia Allemand. The 27 year-old model said that her relationship with boyfriend Ryan Anderson, power forward for the Orlando Magic, fell into place back in February when the two began dating, according to UsMagazine.com. Allemand and Anderson met while Bachelor Pad 2 star was doing a photo shoot in The Bahamas in February and from there, the two were inseparable. Fate was on the couple’s side as Allemand was offered a job that enabled her to live in Florida and be flown into The Bahamas on the weekend for modeling engagements. “Not only was it love at first sight, but it seemed like a touch of destiny. We now both live in Orlando and couldn’t be happier,” she said. “I think I finally found the one!”

The other day, my friend was distraught over how his wife has been treating him lately. The two had begun the process of getting divorced when she suddenly had a change in attitude and promised she would change. Sadly, that promise lasted only a couple of weeks.

For those single ladies, like myself, who are hoping to get married one day, allow me to share some expert advice on what you should be looking for in a partner: Continue reading →
Dexter and Emma (Jim Sturgess and Anne Hathaway) are two college-friends who sleep together on the night of their college graduation, and then they go their own ways while still remaining friends. Dexter goes into the entertainment business and Emma becomes a teacher. The film shows the two of them each year on the anniversary of their college graduation to see where the two are in their lives. Sometimes they’re apart, and other times, they’re together. An original idea for a romantic movie, “One Day” captures the power friendship has in a person’s life.

Rules of flirtexting and sexting. Photo: leaf / Bigstock.com
By Olivia Baniuszewicz and Debra Goldstein
We were eating dinner the other night with our best guy friend, and the topic turned to sexting. Not too soon after, he handed us his cell phone to show us close to a hundred naked photos of different girls. Can you believe he actually created a folder on his phone to archive them because there were so many? Sigh. Anyways, all of these girls sent him photos for one reason and one reason alone …because he asked. He didn’t think twice about showing them to us nor is he shy about sharing them with his boys.
Ladies, we don’t particularly want to see your privates on our friend’s phone, in the news (yes, you Andrew Weiner, Blake Lively, Vanessa Hudgens…) or anywhere else for that matter. We thought a nice refresher on some do’s and don’ts of sexting may be just what we all need to keep our privates, well, private.
What is Flirtexting?
Flirtexting is what you do in the beginning stages of a relationship to build a connection.
What is Sexting?
Sexting is sending suggestive flirtexts that are bold and blunt and used to spice up an existing relationship.
