LeAnn Rimes Was Unaware That “Shape” Had Blacklisted Her

“Just so all my fans know, I’m getting to the bottom of this. It’s the first I’ve heard of this. Shape is throwing me a party next week as a thank you and a congrats for being on their cover for the third time. I find this very contradictory. I love you all!!”

Girl Talk: I’m In A Relationship — Do I Have To Stop Flirting?

I always thought “settling down” was a euphemism. It meant nesting and discovering the pleasures of Saturday nights on the couch, cuddling in sweatpants. And it does mean that a little bit. But in my case, “settling down” has meant literally calming down. The parts of me that were more spontaneous and manic, quick to respond and engage and react, relaxed. I saw how my boyfriend Mark carried himself differently than I did and I thought he carried himself well. My first thoughts were always to fight and engage. But when it came to action, I didn’t feel like I needed to do that anymore. I learned to hold my tongue.

But there’s one thing I haven’t learned to do, as settled down as I am. I still want to flirt. Keep reading »

Shape Magazine Apologizes For Putting “Husband Stealer” LeAnn Rimes On Cover

Shape magazine needs to grow a pair. LeAnn Rimes appeared on the cover of the October issue, in a story about how working out helped her get through her divorce from husband Dean Sheremet and the negative publicity surrounding her relationship with Eddie Cibrian. LeAnn and Eddie, of course, started their romance while they were both still married and apparently some of Shape‘s readers did not appreciate the magazine putting an OMG adulteress on the cover. In response, editor-in-chief Valerie Latona sent an email to subscribers apologizing for the “terrible mistake” in putting a “husband stealer” on the cover. Keep reading »

Dear Wendy: “I Saw My Boyfriend With His Wife!”

About four months ago, I began seeing an old high school friend. We hadn’t seen each other in years and had reconnected online. In the 10 years since high school, he had married and had a child. When we began seeing each other he made it VERY clear that he was separated and had been for close to a year. The separation was not exactly amicable. He had his own house and I even met his 3-year-old daughter on the weekends. In the beginning, he said we should keep things sort of quiet until his pending divorce was final. I was OK with this because we had a small group of mutual friends who were aware of the relationship. Last weekend, I was out with some girlfriends at my local bar and my boyfriend walked in with his ex. He saw me and bolted. (We’d had sex two days prior.) About a minute later, I received a text that just said “working things out.” Of course, my friends consoled me and all agreed that I should tell his wife. Our mutual friends (most of whom are guys) agree that he’s a d-bag but think I should keep quiet. They also said they are as blindsided as I am because they thought we were doing so well together. I have texted and emailed several times with no response. I believe I’m owed an explanation at the very least. I have some very incriminating emails and texts that I have contemplated sending to his wife. I haven’t yet because I realize there’s a child involved in all of this. On the other hand, I feel he’s lying to his wife also. I’m feeling very used and depressed and just can’t decide what’s right or wrong. — Feeling Used

9 Signs He’s A Cheater

I’m not proud to say this, but I once went out with a guy who, well, had a girlfriend. Oops! I didn’t get that was his deal at first, but after I connected a few dots — OK, there was a tampon out on his kitchen table — I realized he already belonged to another woman. While I’m glad this revelation saved me from a fate that involved that pig, I still feel bad for playing a part in his scheme, albeit unwittingly. I wish I could tell his real girlfriend what a philandering d-bag he is, though I don’t know who she is. So, instead, I will share with you the telltale signs that I pieced together afterward that all pointed to the clear fact that he was nothin’ but a Cheatin’ Charlie!

Dear Wendy Updates: “The Homewrecker” Responds

It’s time again for “Dear Wendy Updates,” a feature where people I’ve given advice to in the past let us know whether they followed the advice and how they’re doing today. After the jump, we hear from “The Homewrecker,” whose boyfriend cheated on his ex to be with her and was planning to go to a party she wasn’t invited to where said ex would be. “My issue is,” she wrote, “that as a sign of loyalty, I think my boyfriend should not go to this event that I am actively being excluded from. I fear that he hasn’t made much of an effort to ask the host if I can attend, and my suspicion is that he really wants to go to see his ex and scope out her new boyfriend.” So, did he ask the host if his girlfriend could attend? Did they go to the party together? Did he go alone, or did he skip the whole thing altogether? Find out after the jump. Keep reading »
