Celebrity Money Blunders

Celebrities. Love them or hate them, there’s just something irresistible about them. I think that one of the major things that is so appealing about celebrities is that the details of their daily lives are often made available to the public. When we read stories about celebrities, we realize that even though they may seem larger than life when they are on-screen at the movies or on stage at a rock concert, they are only human just like we are. Having fame and the fortune that often accompanies it is not a one-way ticket to financial bliss. In fact, sometimes … Continue reading →

Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward: A Lesson in Long Marriages Hollywood-Style

I didn’t think I was going to have anything to write about Paul Newman’s death here in the Marriage Blog. I figured that’d be something for the girls who cover the Popular Culture Blog to write about. But as I’ve come across all the different tributes to his life, something’s become glaringly clear: Paul Newman was more than an actor, a race car driver, a camp founder, an activist, and a food line entrepreneur.

Celebrity Inspirations – Maintaining a Healthy Marriage

We’re always reading about the latest celebrity split and marveling that some of those relationships last even five minutes in the glaring stage lights of celebrity and paparazzi. So it should come to no surprise that some celebrities take very special steps to preserve their marriages and to keep their relationships steady and strong.

Ellen to Use New Emmy as Wedding Cake Topper

She was joking… about the cake topper… not about the wedding. Ellen DeGeneres has another reason to celebrate today. In addition to being “over the moon” about her upcoming nuptials to partner Portia de Rossi, the actress walked away with her fourth trophy as outstanding talk-show host, at last night’s 35th annual Daytime Emmy Awards. And according to DeGeneres, don’t look for her to pull an Oprah and take herself of contention for future statuettes. “I’m not going to take my name out,” DeGeneres deadpanned with reporters backstage. “Oprah has made so many bad choices. Look at her career.” While … Continue reading →

But apparently the kindness trend is on the upswing and what better time to make a commitment to incorporating kindness in your wedding planning. Love them or hate them, that is exactly what Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are doing for their wedding – they want to include acts of kindness in their wedding planning.
