Celebrities/Hollywood and Relationships

So a lot's buzzing in Hollywood about relationships. Here's the facts, and my thoughts.

1. Tori Spelling is pregnant with third child.
*Pardon the horrible pink writing on hot pink background on the linked site. This is coming from a pink lover.
Ah, the reason she and dean are doing another horrible reality show is finally revealed.

2. The Frisky Poll About Romantic gestures
As of midnight tonight, a surprise weekend in Tahiti is winning, but there's a strong margin for my vote- classic John Cusack style boombox-over the head a la "Say Anything." I'd also consider {Penn Bagley's cheesy 80's movie homage that ends Easy A (Breakfast Club theme, ipod speakers over the head from SA, and a lawn mower from Patrick Dempsey's "Can't Buy Me Love") And my friends are all in agreement. We made our own paper boom boxes after watching SA. Dudes included.

3. Celebrity exes that are still good friends
A Jonas dated Miley? Where have I been?
Sounds like Liz Hurley's put it best.
Is anyone creepoed out by the whole Bruse/Ashton/Demi and assorted teens with weird names (Tallaulah? Scout? Rumer?) trying to break into acting and vacationing together. Boundaries?
Well when you have nannies and private jets, anything is possible.
Avril and Derek are friends, and he produced her record, but didn't she write all her songs about him?
In summation- how much if this is healthy?

4. Alice Roosevelt's Motto for life- hating together
It seems like shared dislikes bring people together. Truth. And rock on, Alice. (She was quite the scandalous lady of her time.)

Rain- It's Bringing Sexy Back

Since my good friend Java made some solid and real world points about rain not being sexy, I'm bringing the romance aspect back into focus- as I rephrase from my "Summer Rain" post, there are two crucial pieces to kissing in the rain:

A) It must be a warm rain
B) Eventually those wet clothes are going to need to be taken off
(Disclaimer: Several years ago, I was not on the rain kissing side either.)

Water cleans, it renews everything. But it can also destroy and ruin. It's poetic- its tragic, its hot! When the Backstreet Boys got doused with water while belting out "Quit Playing Games With My Heart," (about 1.56 into the song) they became legends. No lie, this sparked infinite debates and arguments with me and my friends back in the middle school days. So here are some deliciously romantic songs about the water and weather:

Downpour- Backstreet Boys
I, I wanna to feel the rain again
I, I wanna to feel the water on my skin
and let it all wash away---
In the downpour,
I wanna feel the rain.

She Will Be Loved- Maroon 5
I don't mind spending every day,
Out in your corner in the pouring rain.
Look for the girl with the broken smile,
And ask her if she wants to stay awhile.
And she will be loved, she will be loved....

Summer Rain- Matthew Morrison
Tagline: "Let's make love in the summer rain."
See the post: Summer Rain is Sexy

Half Moon Bay- Train
Up in Tiberon where the girls are warm,
We stay inside while the rainclouds form,
And thank god for rainy days like these.
And just when the time has come to retire,
Baby starts crying so we dance by the fire,
It always does the trick- you better believe.

Steal My Kisses-Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals
I love to feel that warm summer rain,
Just to hear it fall is the sweetest sounding thing.
And to see it fall on your simple country dress,
It's like heaven, I must confess.

Fearless- Taylor Swift
There's something 'bout the way the street looks when its just rained,
You walk me to your car and you know I wanna ask you to dance,
Right there in the parking lot yeah....

And I don't know how it gets better than this,
You take my hand and drag me headfirst, fearless.
And I don't know -- with you I dance,
In a storm, in my best dress, fearless.

To be continued....
