Tiger Woods’ rumored girlfriend Alyse Lahti Johnston may not be in for the long haul, reports RadarOnline. A source close to Johnston revealed that the 22-year-old may only be looking for fun. “[Johnston] sent a BBM to a mutual friend of ours saying she didn’t consider herself Tiger’s girlfriend,” says the source. “They were just having a good time hooking up.” Johnston and Woods, who were introduced by Johnston’s golf instructor, have dodged many rumors regarding Johnston’s motives. “Alyse wouldn’t care about Tiger’s money. That’s never motivated her and she comes from a very well-to-do family anyway,” says the source. “She just wants to have a good time and lots of fun. I can definitely see her considering sex with Tiger a lot more fun than a relationship with him.”
You’ve just met the perfect woman: she’s beautiful, sexy, and best of all deeply in love with you! There’s just one problem: you are not her first love. Can she love you more than she loved her first flame? Was he better than you in bed? Does she think of him while making love with you?
A common belief is that one’s first love is also the most powerful. In fact, a lot of people say that you never forget your first love. What does this mean?
I’ve talked with various women about the subject, all of them married to men who are not their first loves. To my surprise, they all essentially told me the same thing. They said that the first love is mostly passion and the second love is much deeper.

While most thought Ryan Phillippe and Amanda Seyfried were destined to become serious, it turns out it was just a fling. A friend told UsMagazine.comthat the duo are just friends who are going on dates sometimes. “At one point, there was a chance it would develop into something more serious, but it never did. There’s no commitment,” Phillippe’s friend said. Aside from this, Phillippe was caught hitting on Rihanna Saturday; she kindly turned him down, a witness reports. The actor seemed undisturbed, leaving a house party later that night with a brunette.

How often have you found that the requisite roses (slightly wilted at the edges) don’t do that much for you? This year, for a truly meaningful Valentine’s Day, don’t focus on a single romantic gesture. Instead, consider making Valentine’s Day the ‘New Years’ of romance – a time for making resolutions that will create lasting change for your relationship.
The good news? There is science behind how to do this. Here are three resolutions that can make Valentine’s Day matter for a change:

Although Gabriel Aubry and Kim Kardashian’s recent romance fizzled soon after it began, People reports that Halle Berry was not happy to see her ex out with a reality TV star. Aubry, 35, and Kardashian, 30, took in a Lakers game and a movie in late November before calling it quits. Halle Berry, 44, who split with the French Canadian model last year, was angry about the relationship because of her daughter, according to a source close to the actress. “Halle was very upset… She just didn’t want Nahla exposed to the cameras that are undoubtedly around a reality star.” But Aubry had no intention of bringing someone new into his daughter’s life right away. “Gabriel wanted to make sure he dated someone for six months before he introduced them to his daughter,” says the source.

Some celebrities have to spend more time defending their relationship than actually having one. According to UsMagazine.com, this has been the case lately with Chelsea Clinton and husband, Marc Mezvinsky. Many tabloids have wrongfully reported that the couple who tied the knot with a lavish fairy tale wedding in Rhinebeck, NY, last August, are headed for divorce. As a friend of the newlyweds recently stated, “They’re one of the best and most in love couples I’ve ever known.” The former first daughter and her husband were also recently seen having dinner in New York where they seemed very much in love.

We just hit it off.” The couple wed in September 2010 after dating for only 32 days.

We were together every day.”
