It looks like Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are getting pretty serious, according to UsMagazine.com. In the November issue of Tatler magazine, Kardashian opens up about her strong romance with West. She says, “It’s so nice to have a best friend in this game who understands everything you’re going through. Being with someone I’ve known for so many years is comforting.” Kardashian, who has been married twice before to Damon Thomas and Kris Humphries, is certain the West is “the one.” “I can’t even think about being with anyone else than the man I’m with,” she says.
You may think that you’ll never find lasting love if you’ve been part of one failed relationship after another but Linda Yellin, author of The Last Blind Date, is here to tell you that there is hope for a happily ever after. In her new book, she chronicles with wit and hilarious detail, the lead-up to her current marriage to Randy Arthur and her subsequent move to New York City. She lets it be known that although there are no steadfast rules to a lasting relationship there are things you can do to keep a healthy and happy outlook on life with your partner.
We had a chance to interview Linda Yellin about her book, and this is what she had to say:
Why are nice girls attracted to bad boys? Because opposites attract — duh! For decades, we’ve been throwing around this cliché without really investigating why it may be true. I mean, at one time or another, haven’t we all been drawn to those who are so different from us that we’d be hard pressed to actually find a similarity?
For instance, your idea of having fun is to hit the bar scene and meet new people, while he wants to sit at home and watch sports. You’re super bashful at a dinner party, and he’s the life of the party. You were always a straight “A” student with no “naughty” record, while he struggled to pass in school and spent the majority of his time in the principal’s office. Despite those glaring differences, the thing is, sometimes being in a relationship with an opposite personality works.
So, let’s find out why those who have very little in common find each other irresistible. Here are five solid reasons:
What if incorporating fitness into your life actually helped you meet the love of your life? Turns out there’s a correlation between fitness and love, which JJ Flizanes, celebrity fitness trainer and exercise architect explains in her book, Fit 2 Love: How to Get Physically, Emotionally and Spiritually Fit to Attract the Love of Your Life. If you’re single or looking for a better relationship with your partner and you struggle with weight loss or body issues, Flizanes’ book may be just the thing you need to gain love and security through fitness and health. She says it’s possible to attract your life mate by creating the body you desire from a place of self-acceptance, rather than self-loathing. Named by Elite Traveler Magazine as their 2007 Global Black Book pick of Best Personal Trainer in Los Angeles and one of Shape Magazine‘s top six fitness trainers in 2003, JJ Flizanes knows what it takes to get long lasting results in both fitness and relationships.
We had the privilege of speaking with Flizanes via phone last month. Take a look at what she had to say:
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.
Let’s face it: It’s not often that breakups and divorces are civil and lacking in drama. In fact, most are ridden with angry fights, jealousy and revenge. America’s A-list celebs prove that theory better than any other group! Consider Bristol Palin, Courteney Cox and Mel Gibson.
Well, the MTV Video Music Awards have come and gone yet again, and the celebs in attendance this year didn’t disappoint! Some of the more notable duos walking the white carpet this year were Justin Bieber & Selena Gomez, Usher & Justin Bieber, Jersey Shore‘s Ronnie & Vinnie and Stephanie Pratt & Lo Bosworth, according to Hollywood Life. And, of course, there was the much-anticipated awards show participants Taylor Swift and Kanye West. After last year’s debacle where West barged on stage during Swift’s acceptance speech, he was on his best behavior. The two stars separately sang two brand new songs addressing last year’s event, “like a pair of dueling attorneys making closing statements in front of a jury,” according to Tris McCall at the New Jersey Star-Ledger.
