Speculation on John Travolta's sexual orientation has dogged the actor for years. Is he or isn't he gay? He has been married to actress Kelly Preston since 1991. Publicly, they have always maintained that their marriage is completely traditional. So why do these rumors persist? Is it mere speculation? Is...

One upon a time HBO decided to give a privileged, white 25-year-old woman her own show, and this is the result.

I have heard some buzz about certain politicians advocating for tougher divorce laws. So I did some research in the anti-divorce movement and some of what I found really made my head spin. For instance, in an article on www.smartmarriages.com, I found the following:

Rush Limbaugh decided to personally attack Sandra Fluke, a law student at Georgetown University who testified before the congressional committee on birth control. For sharing her personal story about the high cost of her birth control Mr. Limbaugh labeled her both a slut and a prostitute. I am not going...

Valentine's day is a holiday dreaded by some and cherished by others. Florists, chocolatiers, lingerie designers, jewelers, sex shops, restaurants, greeting card makers, horse-drawn carriage drivers and happy couples adore the holiday, while it causes distress for just about everyone else.

I don't know if I have ever been...

I never watch the Super Bowl; normally I could care less. But this year the NY Giants were playing and after their dramatic win to the 49ers in the playoffs, I was excited enough to watch the game with a large group of friends. I knew Madonna was going to...

No one likes to talk about it. But I have heard from a few friends that post-divorce this problem is quite common. There is some real estate that is downright coveted come holiday time. And sometimes post-divorce you lose your stake at it -- a seat at the adult table...

I would love to write that post-divorce I handled my online social media profiles with grace, restraint and dignity, but that it would be a total and utter fabrication. What I did instead was vomit my personal hell and torment over the internet, and was unapologetic about it. In some...

One of the most annoying things that I heard repeatedly after I left my husband was the following:

I know that my friends who told me that were trying to make me feel better. They were trying...

I remember telling my parents when I first met the man who is now my ex-husband. I started with the positives -- he was college educated, worked with the touring company of Chicago's acclaimed Second City, studied with the Cambridge Footlights in England and had toured the world a few...

I used to perform as Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty at birthday parties for little girls. Something about re-telling the stories to these young impressionable females got to me, and one day I just couldn't do it anymore. The high budget films they watch repeatedly are far more influential to them,...

I don't know why they call them rebound relationships. When I think of a rebound I think of a ball bouncing off of a wall, which is a fairly tame thing. I call the first major relationship after leaving my husband the supernova -- a collection of stars exploding all...

A friend of mine and long-term resident of New York complained to me a few years ago about a dating problem she called "The Shiny Penny Syndrome". A shiny penny is any of the brilliant, talented, gorgeous and single dwellers of Gotham. The problem arises when someone trying to date...

I always thought I would have kids. My husband and I planned to eventually start a family, but at the age of 36 I discovered my husband was a closeted homosexual. My marriage immediately ended and I entered the dating pool past my prime reproductive years. I knew it would...

Since my divorce I have tried a number of methods to try to date again, including online dating and speed dating. I recently got the following via email...I won't mention the company who sent it. I have edited it for length, but the general premise is still there.

Since I left my husband I have been unable to do a number of things -- the most frustrating lost skill is the ability to date. After nine years in a committed relationship, I have extreme difficulty navigating the nuanced dance that is dating. I have learned I can't be...

Michele Bachmann responds to the Obama's SOTU address. She was asked to do so by TEA PARTY EXPRESS and not any other Tea Party affiliated group.
