Art by Skye Ferrante

Whenever we go to New York City , we spend a lot of time in SoHo , The Village, and Fifth Avenue. We also make a point to visit a few art galleries. You never know what you will find. It was on one of those adventures of ours that we ran into Skye Ferrante, who is not only a great artist, but also a very charming man. Fortunately, he was present at the art gallery when we were there and was kind enough to chat with us showing his work to us and explaining how he comes up with ideas and how he makes his art pieces. He basically takes a piece of wire and then makes magic happen by molding it into shapes that tell a beautiful story. What fascinated Lorena and myself, apart from his artistic talent, is his story (he was a ballet dancer). He literally started on the streets of New York selling his art to tourists for amounts that had only two digits. Just to give you an idea, the pieces that we liked from his collection on sale were all in four digits. What we continue to ask ourselve

Cameron Diaz dating John Mayer?

Looks like after treating Jessica Simpson like nobody , John Mayer has moved on to another Hollywood star: Cameron Diaz . While she has previously said that she is not interested in a traditional marriage, she had a so-called rock solid relationship with Justin Timberlake but that didn't last. In one of the classic cases of an older woman dating a younger man , Cameron Diaz who is 35 has been dating John Mayer who is just 29. They have been publicly seen at the Bowery Hotel and Indochine in New York .

Anne Heche moves in with James Tupper

After the somewhat ugly divorce of Anne Heche and Coley Laffoon (full name Coleman Laffoon ), there is some good news about this mentally disturbed Hollywood celebrity . Anne Heche has now moved in with James Tupper, her costar. Based on what they tell the newspaper Vancouver Sun, it is not clearly where their relationship is going but living together generally implies that they are serious about their relationship . That is definitely what we learned about Karina Smirnoff and Mario Lopez living together .

Success secrets of marriage of Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott

Since Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott got together (they got married in Fiji with just the two of them - how bizarre and how romantic?), they may not have gotten the millions from her deceased father, but they have done well as a couple . They have a successful television show "Tori and Dean: Inn Love" and are parents to Liam. And as Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez claim, they too have found working together to be fun. And while many couples need space , this couple want to be together 24X7. So far so good but I would still suggest that you take your breaks from your partner . A little separation actually enhances the relationship .

Andy Baldwin and Tessa Horst end engagement

If you watch The Bachelor, there is so much drama that you start to imagine that their relationship will last forever. The fights, the competition, the romance , the emotions are incredible. The reality, it turns out, is somewhat different. Like most of us, they too face the same challenges in relationships . Remember how Travis Stork and Sarah Stone broke up ? Well, another Bachelor couple, the very charming officer and a gentleman Lt. Andy Baldwin and social worker Tessa Horst, have broken their engagement . I think just for the sake of the media they are saying things like "We are very much in love and committed to our relationship ." I don't buy this crap. If you are so much in love and committed to the relationship , why can't Tessa move to Hawaii ? And I am glad that they broke up , because if a partner cannot relocate, the marriage wouldn't have lasted too long. Marriages require far too many and bigger sacrifices ; this was something really smal

Prince William to marry Kate Middleton?

Of course, first they fell in love. Then there was a so-called breakup , but now we are learning that it was not what we all thought. It was just a bump in the road for them like any other couple. A reconciliation ensued and after they were seen together at the Lady Diana memorial concert , it was obvious that they were getting back together . So should we now conclude that Prince William and Kate Middleton are now ready to tie the knot ? The British royalty watchers think so.

Denise Richards wants Charlie Sheen baby

How bizarre is that! Charlie Sheen claims that his ex-wife Denise Richards wants to have another child with him. Looks like they will not get back together but it will be through artificial insemination. Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards had an ugly breakup and there was another big mess with Heather Locklear and Richie Sambora in relationships with them. Now Charlie Sheen is engaged to Brooke Mueller but Denise Richards sent them flowers and congratulated them. How nice of an ex wife she is? She even wants another baby with him even though he dumped her when she was pregnant .

Noah Lebenzon, Ana Ortiz kissing photo

I had to put up this picture of the two hot Latinos kissing each other. As they say while taking pictures , timing is everything. Now don't expect that they would have started to French kiss since they were on the red carpet for the premiere of the movie " El Cantante " starring Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony . Hey if you have been looking for tips on how to kiss in public, this is a good photo to learn from.

Melanie Brown, Eddie Murphy relationship

Looks as if Scary Spice did manage to scare Eddie Murphy . While Melanie Brown and Eddie Murphy may argue forever if they baby was planned or an accident (he can no longer claim that he is not the father since the paternity test has proved that he is in fact the dad), it is his responsibility now to accept ownership of his child (or they should have used some sort of birth control ) and do the right thing by not only paying child support but also participating in the life of his daughter. While Mel B, a single mom , has sued, it shouldn't have to be that way.

Howard Stern, Beth Ostrosky a mismatched couple

I think a couple looks awkward when one partner looks like the parent of the other even though I am convinced that age gap does not matter and couples should be able to date without getting bogged down with numbers. It is on this ground that I have supported all older men, younger women relationships including that of Howard Stern and Beth Ostrosky . In this photo, though, taken at the premiere of "Becoming Jane," Howard does look old and his sweetheart looks so much younger . Maybe Howard needs some plastic surgery now that they are engaged and ready to marry .

Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony relationship

The beauty of a feature film is that it is educational in many ways: it can tell you about things and people that you did not know so well. That is why salsa fans know everything about Hector Lavoe but the rest of us may not. If you watch this video of Marc Anthony telling the remarkable story of Puerto Rican legend Hector Lavoe and his relationship with his partner Puchi (played by his wife Jennifer Lopez ). This movie " El Cantante " also gives us an insight into the marriage of Marc Anthony and J Lo.

Nicole Richie, Joel Madden relationship

Nicole Richie , the non-stop party animal in Hollywood , is pregnant , and the father is Joel Madden. It does not mean that they will now live happily hereafter, though, I wouldn't be surprised if she walks down the aisle with him sometime soon. She has had way too many boyfriends , like her pal Paris Hilton , and broken the hearts of almost all of them, I am hoping that (after learning some lessons in jail) she will turn out to be good wife and mom (not like Britney Spears ).
