Howard Stern, Beth Ostrosky engaged

Howard Stern, like Bill Maher, Scarlett Johansson, Hal Sparks, Kurt Russell, Goldie Hawn, Jenny McCarthy, Jim Carrey, Oprah, Stedman Graham, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, and Geri Halliwell, is one of those guys who no longer believes in things like engagement and marriages any more and he has said so repeatedly in recent years.

Surprise, suprise! Never say never again. He is now engaged to Beth Ostrosky. And how did he propose? With a 5.2 carat diamond ring, similar to what Tony Parker gave Eva Longoria.

And in case you were wondering, this relationship is a classic example of older man dating younger woman - Beth is 18 years younger than Howard Stern, the guy who seems to rock on satellite radio and as expected the announcement came on his satellite radio program.

Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy will not marry

In a recent interview, Jim Carrey said great things about his current girlfriend Jenny McCarthy, but he said that they will never marry. There are other famous Hollywood couples that are doing the same. Oprah and Stedman Graham, Brangelina, and Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell. Stars like Geri Halliwell have even given up hope of finding love again. And of course, there are millions of couples that are living together before marriage and even becoming parents.

This is understandable considering the high rate of divorce and all the legal and emotional complications that result from it. And it is not just couples who have been married before; even couples who are with their highschool sweethearts are finding that if they don't get married, they won't have to deal with divorce.

Jim Carrey has been married twice before to Lauren Holly and Melissa Womer, while Jenny McCarthy was married to John Asher.

What should you do?

My recommendation is that do what works for you. In any case, a wedding is only for entertainment purposes now, and the major benefit of marriage may simply be the tax breaks, if any. Otherwise, you don't have to be married to enjoy "marital bliss" as long as you are in a monogamous relationship, though some couples find happiness even in polyamorous or open relationships.

Jessica Simpson jealous of Nick Lachey

Photo of Jessica Simpson in a pink dressWhen we end a relationship or get a divorce, why do we feel jealous if the other person finds love again, sooner than we do. It is nothing but jealousy (How to overcome jealousy) and it is a terrible emotion. In a recent interview with Elle, Jessica Simpson who has claimed that she is unable to forget Nick Lachey, she says that it was painful to see him with Vanessa Minnillo. This is when she also says that the moment after she moved out of their home, she felt "freedom."

I am also curious to know what is going on with Jessica Simpson and John Mayer. The first rumors of their relationship led to more confusion within a month about what was going on. Now we know that she is dating John Mayer but just wouldn't go public with it.

What is the best way to handle your emotions after divorce?

After getting a divorce, you really have no business having any emotion about the other person. It only hurts you and makes it harder for you to move on. Or you are so full of anger and hate that you feel that the other person does not deserve anyone else or that she or he is so bad that no one can lover her or him.

Not true. A relationship is based on compatibility of two people - just because two people can't make it together, it does not mean that they are bad people. It is just that they are not made for each other. That is why most people manage to find love and happiness again with someone else.

Maybe the attitude that Britney Spears has is much better. She tells people that it is awesome to be be single after her divorce with Kevin Federline. It is clear that she has moved on and has no anger towards her ex. She can now focus on finding love again, if she wants. Getting stuck on your ex is simply counter-productive and a barrier to finding love - potential partners will think of you as someone with baggage.
