Although Hollywood is still the number one stomping ground for the rich and famous, many celebrities are choosing to live abroad in an effort to protect their privacy and keep their personal lives from the public eye. Sure, there are European paparazzi, but even so, life is much more manageable. For celebrities with children, it’s particularly important to give their families some sense of normalcy. Despite their distance from Los Angeles or New York City, American fans still love them. With this thought in mind, we developed a list of our five favorite celebrity couples that live across the pond:

Brandon McMillan has dedicated his life to working with animals — so much, in fact, that he hardly has time to date. Now, he’s bringing his work to the small screen with a new show for CBS called Lucky Dog, which premieres on Saturday, September 28th as part of “The CBS Dream Team” line-up. Each episode will follow the trainer as he adopts a dog from a shelter — one that’s hours away from euthanasia — and then brings him back to The Lucky Dog Ranch to be trained before finding the perfect family.

Country crooner Carrie Underwood and Gossip Girl star Chace Crawford ended their fling via text. Similarly, rumor has it that John Mayer called it quits with on-again, off-again girlfriend Jennifer Aniston by text. Most recently, Katy Perry revealed that Russell Brand, her husband of 14 months, announced his intentions to divorce via text. These celebrity examples — and countless real-world stories— are the impetus behind Ruthie and Michael Dean’s new book, Real Men Don’t Text: A New Approach to Dating. While the title suggests that the book is aimed at women, in truth, it’s meant for anyone who’s single and searching for love. The couple’s new approach to dating comes down to a simple idea: “You have to be the right person that the right person is looking for,” explains Michael. Find out who you want to be and then go out and find a guy — one who will call you instead of text.

Here, we chat with the newly-minted authors about the love lessons shared in their book as well as what keeps their marriage strong.

Many fans — myself included — look to Alison Sweeney as a source of inspiration when it comes to living a healthy lifestyle. In our exclusive interview with The Biggest Loser host, she shares her tips for staying motivated and helping her family make smart choices when it comes to diet and fitness. For instance, when it’s snack time for her two children, keeping her refrigerator organized is incredibly important. “I want those healthy choices front and center. I want them in their eye line, so that they see them when they open the refrigerator door,” she explains. “I think that makes it much more likely to be something that they pick.”

Plus, Sweeney shares some behind-the-scenes secrets from her upcoming film Second Chances, premiering on The Hallmark Channel on July 22nd.

Brooke Burke-Charvet is a star in so many ways: actress, model, Dancing With the Stars (DWTS) winner and now co-host. Given her past dancing record (she won season 7), it’s no surprise that DWTS is something she holds near and dear to her heart.

“I loved the experience of learning how to dance. It was an incredible life lesson. Hosting the show and being such a big part of the DWTS family does make me want to dance again, but I doubt that I’d be able to pull off dancing and hosting at the same time!” Continue reading →

Soul singer Candice Glover has been a frontrunner since the start of season 12 of American Idol, so it wasn’t surprising when she took home the crown on last night’s finale. Glover, though, was sure to take things slow. “My goal was to make it to the top 20. If I got that far, I knew I’d have a fan base that would keep voting for me,” she shares. “Then, I made it to the top ten, the top five, and finally the top two.

As if Alison Sweeney wasn’t busy enough, she decided to make her foray into fiction with her first novel, The Star Attraction, which published earlier this week. When telling the story of Sophie, a Hollywood publicist who risks her fabulous job and happy relationship when she hooks up with a sexy client, the actress drew from her nearly two decades as Samantha “Sami” Brady on NBC’s Day of Our Lives, explaining that her experience on daytime television was the basis for writing her own story. She adds, “My best friend is a publicist, so that was certainly the inspiration for writing about that perspective of the industry. Plus, I have a lot of personal stories that contributed to the red carpet scenes in the book.”
