      Lindsay Lohan’s a lesbian? When did that happen? Turns out Star magazine first reported LiLo’s girl-on-girl romance in summer 2007—centuries ago, in celebrity gossip. Gawker explains why it took us so long to catch on. Because gay Hollywood couples try to hide it: Holding hands in public? Domestic errands as a duo? If starlets are getting hot and heavy, they also hide from the paparazzi, yet Lindsay and Sam flaunted their togetherness—genius!   More »

      Employers Ask Office Lovers to Sign Off

      Bosses who see love in the air are asking workers to sign so-called love contracts to guard against sexual harassment claims, ABC News reports.

The issue has gained attention as more women take office jobs and Americans in general work longer hours. More »

      Can a Broken Heart Heal? Sure, Give It 10 Weeks

      Break-ups don’t break us up as much as we expect, a study finds. Researchers at Northwestern University followed 70 romantically-entwined freshmen over 9 months, regularly asking them to update a survey analyzing their current feelings and how they imagined a break-up would feel. The pain of eventual splits was milder than they had foreseen, and they beat the blues twice as soon as predicted, LiveScience reports. More »

      We Need to Talk ... About Your Books

      Forget toothpaste habits: Sometimes “a missed—or misguided—literary reference makes it chillingly clear that a romance is going nowhere fast," writes Rachel Donadio in the New York Times. Pasting your literary acumen all over your MySpace page has become the norm, and not a bad one. Just be prepared when “he hadn’t even heard of Pushkin!” becomes a rallying break-up cry. More »

      Speed Dating for the Cougar Set

      "Mature" women sitting on gold mines are being paired up with hot young men at a New York matchmaking event next week, Reuters reports. Traditionally, rich middle-aged men nab catwalk-worthy arm candy, but one entrepreneur hopes to tweak the trend. The "sugar mamas" must be at least 36 and make a minimum $500,000 a year—though $4 million in assets also meets requirements. More »

      Heigl Can't Save 27 Dresses

      Despite actress Katherine Heigl's undeniable appeal, her first role as a leading lady is in a film of such little consequence "that seeing it and skipping it are the exact same thing," writes Robert Wilonsky of the Village Voice . In 27 Dresses , Heigl plays Jane, a perennial bridesmaid who's got a major crush on her boss (Ed Burns), who, unfortunately, falls for Jane's blonde-bombshell sister (Malin Akerman). More »
