1. The Liar � Your interactions with him are based on false information that wastes your time. His coping skills are zero, and he will do it over and over with false apologies when caught. You believe him, and then get sucked in again.
2. The Addict -- Can you fix him? No. Will he fix himself? Maybe. In the meantime, his ability to interact and forge real relationships is stunted, no matter how good a man he might be. The haze of addiction clouds everything.
3. The Kid Who Won't Grow Up � He will forever need a mother, not a lover.
4. The Angry Man � He will destroy your self-esteem and self-confidence over time.
5. The Mama's Boy � He is the Kid Who Won't Grow Up, with his mother attached.
6. Mr. Too Good To Be True � He will come on strong, hook you and then disappear, every time.
7. The Drama King � He creates ups and downs that turn your life into a yo-yo. One minute it's good then the next minute it's bad, and it's all about him, always.
8. The Coward � He is afraid to love and afraid to leave, and he won't have your back when it counts.
9. The Passive and Distant Man � He is the one of the most frustrating of all. He turns on the charm when he senses you leaving, and then pulls back when he knows he has you. He will always be absent, wistful, and wanting more. You will not be enough.
10. The Control Freak � This man will eventually abuse you, first verbally and emotionally, then physically. Get out while you can.
These descriptions are clear and easy to understand. Sometimes we girls don't want to see the truth in front of us, though, so if you are having trouble deciding if your man fits one of these categories, write to us at lovepanel@dontdatehimgirl.com and if a guy like this tries to enter your life, think twice before building a relationship with him. It is much easier to move on to a really good man than to try to accept one of these. -- Tasha Cunningham, tasha@dontdatehimgirl.com
i'm going through break-up and if i saw these tips 5 1/2 months ago it would've been golden. but everything happens for a reason. you live, you learn, you let go.

my favorite socialite and her beau are expecting another bundle of joy. (is something in the water? lol).
"What's better than winning an Oscar? I am so happy to tell everyone that Harlow is going to be a big sister! God has truly blessed my family. Hope your all feeling as good as i am right now."
The happily unmarried couple welcomed daughter Harlow on January 11, 2008. Richie, 27, and Madden, 29, have been together since December 2006.

Incompatible, it don’t matter though
‘cos someone’s bound to hear my cry
Speak out if you do
you’re not easy to find
Is it possible Mr. Loveable
is already in my life?
right in front of me
or maybe you’re in disguise
Who doesn’t long for someone to hold
who knows how to love you without being told
somebody tell me why I’m on my own
if there’s a soulmate for everyone
Here we are again, circles never end
how do I find the perfect fit
there’s enough for everyone
but I’m still waiting in line
Who doesn’t long for someone to hold
who knows how to love you without being told
somebody tell me why I’m on my own
if there’s a soulmate for everyone
If there’s a soulmate for everyone
Most relationships seem so transitory
They’re all good but not the permanent one
Who doesn’t long for someone to hold
who knows how to love you without being told
somebody tell me why I’m on my own
if there’s a soulmate for everyone
Who doesn’t long for someone to hold

This week, Lily Allen dropped her sophomore effort with it’s Not Me, It’s You. Maturing greatly from her debut Alright, Still where she took us through the streets of London, brawls outside of the club and the wicked mindset of a scorned ex-girlfriend--Lily is now taking a totally different road.
The album starts off strong with “Everyone’s At It”, talking about the influence of drugs and how it’s so easy these days just to get a prescription for a pill. “The Fear”, “22”, “F**k You” and “Him” also touch on issues dealing with society, politics and religion over mid-tempo melodic beats and hypnotizing harmonies.
Of course the good, the bad and the ugly when it comes to relationships are laced throughout the album with tracks like “I Could Say”, “Back To the Start” and “Never Gonna Happen”. Shining songs in this category are “Not Fair” about the perfect boyfriend who just can’t satisfy in bed, and “Who’d Have Known”, exploring the fine line between being friends and a blooming romantic relationship.
The closing song “He Wasn’t There” ends on a paternal note where she brings to light the hardships she faced with the lack of her dad’s (Keith Allen, a British actor) presence in her life, yet she’s delightfully sings “I’m so pleased/ I didn’t give up on him”.
Well, I’m happy with all that Lily has faced during her miscarriage, broken relationships alcohol/drug incidents that she hasn’t given up her music and the fans haven’t given up on her.

so M.I.A. is supposed to perform at the upcoming Oscars, but according to E! News
M.I.A.'s performance [...] (she's a nominee for her collaboration on "O, Saya") [Slumdog Millionaire] remains up in the air. It was reported earlier today that the rapper gave birth sometime this week after performing at the Grammys this past Sunday on her actual due date.
[...]"she's eager to perform…We've said things like, 'We're willing to have her enter on a large bed. We'll make it as easy for her as we can." (FYI: Sources also tell me the baby is definitely here; M.I.A.'s rep did not comment.)
guess we'll just have to see if she shows up, and if so what craziness she'll be wearing. knowing her--she'll be there *fingers crossed*
