I don’t know if anyone can really own up to being a cynic, but I found a quote for you to ponder…
Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything i’t cracked up to be. That’s why people are so cynical about it. It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don’t risk everything, you risk even more.
Erica Jong
So, are you a cynic when it comes to love??

“It’s dark out, and you’re home alone. The house is quiet other than the sound of the show you’re watching on TV. You see it and hear it at the same time: The front door is suddenly thrown against the door frame.
Your breathing speeds up. Your heart races. Your muscles tighten.
A split second later, you know it’s the wind. No one is trying to get into your home.
For a split second, you were so afraid that you reacted as if your life were in danger, your body initiating the fight-or-flight response that is critical to any animal’s …read more

“You know you’ve got it bad when you’re insulted for looking like the princess of trash. Paris Hilton was recently left completely embarrassed after being mistaken for who other than herself.
The famous-for-being-famous star and Pamela Anderson were dining at Los Angeles’ lavish Koi restaurant last week when another customer approached the heiress and apologetically said, “Don’t take this the wrong way, but you look like Paris Hilton.”
Now if that doesn’t ruin your day, I don’t know what will! She’s been getting a lot of that lately. You have to start feeling just a little bit sorry for her! She’s trying …read more

Lily Munster: Oh, Marilyn… the circles under your eyes. How lovely you look today.
Marilyn: What does Ramone look like?
Lily Munster: He looks a little like Cary Grant, the poor man.

The actress – who is in India filming ‘A Mighty Heart’ with her partner Brad Pitt – has fainted three times since shooting started earlier this month.”
I’m sure that her life is very stressful at the moment, with the children, living in a new location and working on a movie that must be one of the most difficult roles she has ever played, but the tabloids are going to have a field day with this. Just watch. Rumors that she is pregnant again are going to fly in the …read more

Rumors are flying about Jennifer Aniston these days, but aren’t they always? Last week it was all about her break-up with Vince and this week, it seems that she has been spotted buying out the baby shops in Los Angeles. Obviously, the first thing that people think is that she has to be expecting! We will just have to sit back and wait.
Which leads me to the “Personal Development” part of the post. What would it be like to grow up with one or more celebrity parents? Would they love every minute of it, or would it soon become …read more
