Last night, I went to bed proud to be an American! But this afternoon, other issues on the ballot, like Proposition 8, made me extra blue, and not in the cool way. Sadly, some of our fellow Americans in California, Arizona, and Florida think they have the right to discriminate against homosexual love and ban an entire community from marrying. WTF?  Did you people not see how adorable the Portia and Ellen wedding pics were?! Well, looking at heterosexual divorce rates, perhaps marriage itself is the lost cause.  So, if America can’t support a partnership based on love, whose relationships should we really be concerned about?

Some people start dating because they are so very similar. They have the same interests, background, education, taste in dogs, and favorite dessert. Then there are couples who end up becoming more and more like their significant other as the relationship progresses, and not just in interests, but in looks. Here are eight current and former couples who began looking and dressing alike after they started going out.

By now you’ve probably heard that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have asked Bono to be godfather to their twins Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline. And that Ashlee Simpson-Wentz and Pete Wentz are considering John Mayer for godfather of their unborn child. I’ve never really thought about famous godparents probably because I’ve never really had a great relationship with my own godparents, except for my late Uncle Eddie. However, when this news broke, we at The Frisky decided to research other famous godparents and realized some of these relationships are really surprising.

For the first time, there’s actually something bigger that her glasses on Ashlee Simpson. [Los Angeles, 7/15/08]

In the latest issue of Out magazine, Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz admitted to making out with dudes as “sexual rebellion”, but we’re not buying the rebel without a cause routine. We blame it on his low self-esteem: Wentz claims he doesn’t even like his own genital junk (a classic sign that he’s afraid to go gay). When asked if he’s gone down on a dude, he said he wasn’t interested because, “It’s really about the equipment. I really don’t think it’s an attractive quality. That’s what it comes down to. I don’t even like my own. Like, I really don’t like it. I don’t like anything about it.” So sad. If only some guy could wave his magic wand and finally make Wentz d*ckmatized. [Dlisted]

The number of men who wear makeup seems to be picking up a bit, thanks to famous guys like Zac Efron and Pete Wentz, who probably have cosmetic bags of their own in their bathrooms (as opposed to “borrowing” their gal pals’ products). Some people think it’s okay for guys to use a little concealer to cover up the occasional blemish, but it seems to be going a bit farther than that. “It looks really gay—and I’m a gay boy,” hair and make-up artist Bradwyn Jones told the Sydney Morning Herald “It looks a bit drag. Give a guy a license to put it on and they’ll be heavy-handed.”

In my life, I’ve only known a few guys who wear makeup, and there’s been a spectrum of intensity. One male friend of mine uses a moisturizer with self-tanner, but it looks natural and not at all orange or makeup-y on him, as he’s normally darker anyway. And then in high school, one of my friends who had lovely blue eyes wore mascara regularly to draw attention to them, and I think when he went out, he would even put on a subtle amount of eyeliner or eyeshadow.

“I’m genuinely a nervous person in general. The first time I ever went to the doctor’s office and heard the baby’s heartbeat, I felt totally content and at peace with everything.” —Pete Wentz

“I think that that’s something that a woman should do when they’re marrying a man. It’s a tradition that I think is a great tradition.” —Ashlee Simpson, talking about how she’s going to take Wentz as her last name and use Simpson-Wentz professionally. [Newsweek.com]

Apparently Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo are not too over to freak on the dance floor. [People, 5/21/08]
