| Mariah Carey's Shocking Marriage |  | Say whatever you want, nobody in the showbiz game could possibly have imagined three months ago that America's uber-spoiled sweetheart Mariah Carey was going to get caught in a whirlwind romance and get married so fast – least of all, to a not-very-famous actor ten years her junior, after a courtship that lasted for little over a month.

| Simon Cowell and Girlfriend Break Up Over Infidelity |  | Notoriously acrimonious British TV mogul Simon Cowell could be George Clooney's evil twin brother. He's just as rich and has a distinctive "bad boy" allure which, along with the blunt, in-your-face criticism he unleashes over unsuspecting American Idol wannabes, surrounds him with a dark sort of glamor, that also ensures he's never short of lady admirers. Like Clooney, Simon has publicly flaunted his reso ... [read more >>] | | 18 April 2008, 10:16GMT | (c) 2008 Softpedia |

| An Unhappy Marriage Can Kill You |  | It is well known that being lonely pays more for your health than living in an unhappy marriage. For example, for your blood pressure, as shown by a preliminary study published on-line in the Annals of Behavioral Medicine.
"That second finding is a surprise because prior studies have shown that married people tend to be healthier than singles. It would take further study to sort out what the results mean for long-term health," ... [read more >>] | | 24 March 2008, 15:36GMT | (c) 2008 Softpedia |
| Video Games Are Good Enough for You to Get Married! |  | Usually, gamers are considered some nerds without a social life, friends and so on by those who don't play them. Also most of the people consider that video games and real life love have nothing in common.

| Katherine Heigl, Really Hot, Not That Annoying? |  | I must admit, I've had a bit of a prejudice against Katherine Heigl ever since news got out about how she labeled "Knocked Up" as portraying women as silly, annoying idiots. You may agree with me when I say that it's not a good thing to "bite the hand that feeds you", as it's been pompously said over and over again – and no, it's not the wisest move in the world to let everyone know you're not t ...

| Women Are Most Stressed by Marriage, Men by Work! |  | It is clear that men and women come from different planets, and what's good for women can be nonsignificant for men.

| Here Comes the Pammy Sex Tape, Too! |  | Pamela Anderson and new husband Rick Salomon have apparently been on a sex-athlon since they married. I am absolutely positive that word actually doesn't exist, but, since Pammy's very existence is a premiere (as no one can deny that the boobalicious actress is a world-acknowledged sex symbol who pretty much made history), we'll just go with that – because anyway, I'm pretty sure you all get the message.

| He Asked Reese to Marry Him, She Said No, No, No... |  | What do you know! And there was me thinking that Reese Witherspoon and Jake "I was horrified of gay sex scenes" Gyllenhaal were just fooling around, enjoying a little "fauxmance" in the wake and for the benefit of the movie they shot together, "Rendition". Apparently, we were all wrong – and we’ll have to live for the rest of our lives with the guilt of having suspected these two of foul play. Kiddin ...

| Female Genital Mutilation: Why Such Practices? |  | One of the Africa's most horrific traditions persists in the 21st century: "purification", "female circumcision" or, more correctly named female genital mutilation (FGM).

| Why Do Married Men Have A Lower Sex Drive? |  | Don't blame it on the age, it’s marriage the one that makes a man less…male. Married/father males have been found to have significantly lower testosterone levels, as found by two new studies made at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), and led by anthropology professor Peter Gray. These researches are amongst the first carried outside North America, and studying facts from a cross-cultural perspective.

I feel fully entitled to telling you "I told you so" because...well, in the end, it turns out that Pammy's brains really do work, even if they function according to one very primitive, simple logic: find a guy...grant him sexual favors...square off your poker debt...get pregnant...get married. Yeah, that pretty much covers everything. Even if Pammy denies it, sources close to the former Baywatch star have ... [read more >>] | | 11 October 2007, 03:26GMT | (c) 2008 Softpedia |
| Kid Rock Bitches About Pammy Some More |  | Kid Rock has definitely got a problem. A really really big one, and it seems to be getting worse with every day that passes. He's either going through a middle age crisis, or he badly needs some attention and has run out of inspiration. The fact is, he seems to be harping on and on about pretty much every single person around him, whether he knows them or not. He seems to be very irritable, too – I mean, I can understand picking on Pa ... [read more >>] | | 08 October 2007, 09:29GMT | (c) 2008 Softpedia |
| Pammy Marries – AGAIN. And Is That a Baby Bump? |  | Pamela Anderson is now officially Mrs. Salomon. Man, seeing that written down in black and white is enough to make me want to skip lunch – for real. But I must say, I saw it coming a long time ago – even before the two newly weds got their marriage license in Vegas last week.
I mean, Pammy is simply dumb like that – and according to reports, she's head over heels in love with sleazy, sex-tape Salomon. I think someone should tell h ... [read more >>] | | 08 October 2007, 06:50GMT | (c) 2008 Softpedia |

| Pamela Anderson Is Getting Married – AGAIN |  | No, please, somebody tell me she's not really that stupid. I was hoping and hoping that, after the whole Kid Rock / Tommy Lee madness, good ol' Pammy would settle down and be a good little assistant to the nice magician in Vegas – and that would pretty much be the end of it. But it looks like some people never learn, and that despite looking good at 40 and winning $500.000 dollars a week; well, it seems that Pam needs more drama ...

I mean, all of Michael Jackson, not just some random body parts that accidentally managed to stick together through the past couple of years. And not only is he alive and kicking, he's also on the October 2007 cover of L’UOMO Vogue magazine, as photographed by Bruce Weber. And just look at him – and start counting. Nose? Check.

| Gay Marriages 400 Years Ago in Europe! |  | Homosexuality was a frequent reality for the ancient Greeks and Romans, who left many writings, paintings, mosaics representing homosexual men and lesbian women.

Ever since 2006, when she proposed to motorcross champion Carey Hart during one of his races by holding a huge sign with the words 'Will You Marry Me?' on it, Pink has been nothing but a loving wife for him.

| Scary Spice Secretly Married. Not with Eddie! |  | You see? When celebrities really want to keep a secret, they can. The only conditions they must fulfill to keep their private lives away from the ever prying eyes of the media are: number one, to want it really bad; and, number two, to make sure that whoever they confide in (family members and friends included) are trustworthy.

It looks like this event has brought much more to the (now) blonde Ashlee as her boyfriend, rocker Pete Wentz, who asked her to marry him. According to sources, Pete did it like in the movies, on one knee and with a huge ring. Also, some say that Ashlee is also pregnant, that's why the sudden hurry over the wedding. The couple tr ...

A new research proves it literally: sex is better than money in making you happy. That is not to be understood as “being financially poor works”, but rather as “being sexually active indeed brings a happy life”.
Investigating "happiness economics", the researchers also found that despite the common theory, more financial powe ... [read more >>] | | 06 March 2007, 08:57GMT | (c) 2008 Softpedia |
