Not everyone can dole out love advice like Cupid can. At the premiere of his new movie Friends With Benefits, Justin Timberlake said he is the last person anybody should ask for relationship tips, UsMagazine.com reports. “I think it’s pretty obvious that I should not be giving anybody love advice,” the actor/musician said, adding, “Yeah, listen to a single male… That’ll work out.” Timberlake, 30, split with Jessica Biel in March.
How do you know if someone giving you love advice is credible?

Hailee Steinfeld, who was nominated for an Oscar this year for her role in True Grit, told People that despite her newfound fame, she’s not dating right now. The 14-year-old actress says she’s afraid that boys will want to go out with her for the wrong reasons. “I feel like I can have crushes on guys, but I’m always worried they may only feel a certain way because of who I am.” But Steinfeld says that she’s okay with being single. “I don’t feel like I need to be with anybody in that way right now. My guy friends are like my brothers.”

We’ve all been there – hungry and needing a pre-date snack before dinner with that new fling. Couple that with summer coming up (hello, bathing suit season!). It takes too much time and energy to find healthier and cheaper alternatives to fast-food, take-out and ordering in.
Everyone knows that soup is good for the soul, but this company has made an effort to deliver wholesome goodness to singletons who only need one serving. Tabatchnick Fine Foods, a leading manufacturer of handcrafted quality soups and other products, just launched their Soup Singles line, great for when you’re running late for another online date and don’t know if you’re having dinner or drinks. This tasty snack can also be enjoyed during lunch or your mid-afternoon snack when your office is blasting the cold air during the scorching summer heat. Whether you’re staying in or are on the go, Soup Singles can help get you through your day.
Here are a few more reasons why this product is perfect for you:

Though Valentine’s Day gets credit for being the biggest day of love, Memorial Day should be known as the day of fresh beginnings.

Whether you’re settled down with someone or fired up and looking for love, here are a few ways to make sure you have a Memorial Day (or weekend) to remember:

Known as “The Most Exciting Two Minutes In Sports” because of its rapid duration, the Kentucky Derby is a combination of old-time tradition and the fast-paced fanaticism of sports betting.

0 As if The Real Housewives of New York City doesn’t provide enough entertainment already, now one of the reality show’s main men, Simon van Kempen, is busting onto the music scene with a pop and dance track called “I Am Real.” The single, to be released today at 11 p.m. EST on Bravo TV’s Watch What Happens: Live, takes an ironic look at the reality star and others from The Real Housewives of New York.
Produced by JSM Music in New York City, the track was specifically written about van Kempen’s experience on the hit show and is the first of its kind, according to a press release. “Not many people know this, but I spent my childhood and early 20’s studying and performing as a musician. Music has been a huge part of my life, and although I never thought of myself as a singer, I was thrilled and a little nervous when Joel Simon and JSM approached me with idea of creating a song,” said the star. “More than anything, I wanted the track to be fun, irreverent and to talk about my real experience on the ‘Real Housewives of New York City.’”

Rihanna recently tweeted that the new E! show, Khloe and Lamar, makes her sick … but in a good way. According to E! Online, the 23-year-old singer said, “@KhloeKardashian crazy, just watched ur show in the studio! Yall make me wanna #BARF… or atleast find a man!! ! 2 cute for words. Rah Rah.” It seems like Kardashian’s new show has gotten the stamp of approval from Rihanna, but does this mean that the beautiful Barbadian pop star is lonely? Khloe Kardashian responded by tweeting, “@rihanna LMAO! Trust me you just need to make your pick and baby girl you got a man. Thank you for watching! Rock it out in the studio!”
How do you avoid being bitter about others in love?

Since her breakup with Jack Barakat last month, Holly Madison has been busy with her book, which hits stands next month, and as a correspondent for Extra. However, the star of Holly’s World told People she is still looking for her soul mate. “It’s hard for me, the last couple relationships I had were long distance, [and] it’s not like I can make much of an effort to travel and see anybody,” Madison, 30, said. “The guy had to do all the work, unfortunately.” Madison’s Mr. Right, according to her, needs to be someone who is secure and not threatened by a successful woman. “He needs to be patient and somebody who knows where he wants the relationship to go,” she said. Until she finds this mystery man, Madison said she is content with flying solo.

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.com that 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.
Does dating around make you a player?
