Dear Denise- July 2009

Relationship Advice From Our Resident Expert, Denise Shannon

Dear Denise,

So for the past year, “Keith” and I have had a great time dating.  I have no complaints and everything seems really good.  But lately he has been hinting about getting married!  I feel sick everytime I think about it and am starting to realize that I love him, but I’m not IN LOVE with him.  Is this crazy?  My best friend says that I have cold feet and that it will get better.  What do you think?

Kara

Dear Kara,

You certainly understand what you are saying and it sounds like you are being honest with yourself.  I really think you need to listen to your intuition about this and figure out why you are feeling like this.  Normally, the thought of a marriage proposal would be exciting so the fact that you are having the opposite reaction is something to take seriously. 

I highly suggest you see a therapist to determine if your concerns are related to this specific relationship (and perhaps can be worked out) or if there is something else going on with you personally.  For instance, if you come from a family with a high divorce rate, you may fear marrying someone because then you may also become divorced some day.  Dating may seem like a safe alternative to you if there are no strings attached.  However, I am just speculating.  Please consider seeing a trained therapist for a couple of sessions.  I think you will learn a lot about yourself and, in turn, will make the right decision for this relationship and for yourself.

As for your friend’s advice, it is not fair to Keith to become engaged when you are so doubtful.  One year is a good amount of time to fully evaluate a relationship because you have passed the infatuation stage and know each other as real people.  You should only move this relationship forward when it is solid because otherwise you will set yourselves up for disappointment.

Good luck to you!

Transformers' Director Michael Bay Has Some Words For Megan Fox

It may seem like we are trying to find any reason to post about Megan Fox and though that is true we couldn't help but not post about this next item.

The director of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Michael Bay told the Wall Street journal in an interview that Megan Fox for lake of better words needs to get off her high horse.

In an interview with the financial newspaper Bay say's,

"Well, that’s Megan Fox for you. She says some very ridiculous things because she’s 23 years old and she still has a lot of growing to do. You roll your eyes when you see statements like that and think, “Okay Megan, you can do whatever you want. I got it.” But I 100% disagree with her. Nick Cage wasn’t a big actor when I cast him, nor was Ben Affleck before I put him in “Armageddon.” Shia LaBeouf wasn’t a big movie star before he did “Transformers”—and then he exploded. Not to mention Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, from “Bad Boys.” Nobody in the world knew about Megan Fox until I found her and put her in “Transformers.” I like to think that I’ve had some luck in building actors’ careers with my films."

Wow! Cocky!

Maybe he had some influence in some of her popularity exploding as fast as it did, but let's face it I think Megan Fox's beauty is pretty much selling the film to the alpha male audience. After all if he had cast Susan Boyle we are sure "Bruno" would have dominated his robot movie at the box office.

Kevin Jonas Proposes To Girlfriend

Sorry lady teens around the country but Kevin Jonas, 21 is engaged. So who's the lucky lady? She's Danielle Deleasa, 22, whom Kevin has been dating for the past two years.

As E! News reports,

"Our hearts are filled with joy today and we are happy to share with you that our son Kevin has asked Danielle for her hand in marriage," parents Denise and Kevin Jonas Sr. said in a statement. "Her answer was yes, and it is such a blessing that she will be joining our family. Kevin and Danielle have not yet set a date."

Kevin, who performed in Vancouver last night and caught a red-eye to Jersey, told the mag, "It was tough performing last night, knowing that I was going to ask the biggest question in my life to the most amazing girl in the world."

Maybe this big news will slow down the Michael Jackson coverage... orrrrr maybe not.

Lindsay Lohan's Early Birthday Party in Vegas Was A Paid Gig!

Page Six confirms our assumption from Lindsay Lohan's Twitter that she was paid to party.

On Monday we told you about Lindsay Lohan's early Birthday party at the MGM Grand this past weekend. We also posted a couple of Tweets from LiLo that said,

Thank you so much for wishing me to have fun at my Sevin Nyne spray tan party today! Thank's so much to the MGM Grand hotel for everything!

Then Tweeting,

oh! thank you to mercedes for the maybach!!!!

As Page Six is confirmed reporting,

According to sources, the troubled starlet was paid a cool $70,000 by the MGM Grand in Las Vegas to host an all-day "pre-celebration" at the hotel's Wet Republic pool party last Saturday.

At the event, which served as a promotion for her Sevyn Nine self-tanning mist, Lohan changed bathing suits five times before throwing on club gear and dancing to Michael Jackson songs for the rest of the night.

See LiLo you can't pull a fast one on us. Next time invite more friends... Oh and don't Tweet thanking your sponsors... That kinda gave it away.

Mariah Carey Does Her Best Eminem

So this is what married life will do to you? And we know with that joke we just pissed off all our married readers... but if you can;t laugh at yourself then maybe you shouldn't be reading Amore.

Back to the story at hand about Mariah Carey (above) dressed like Eminem for her latest video "Obsessed" in New York City Monday.

Of course now with the cat out of the bag on this one we can only assume that this will further piss Eminem off.

That's cause Eminem being the controversial rapper that he is went off about Mariah Carey in a song as Us reports,

Eminem rapped about Carey -- who he has said he briefly dated in 2001 -- in his song "Bagpipes From Baghdad."

"I want another crack at ya," Eminem's lyrics go. "Nick Cannon better back...up. I'm not playing, I want her back, you punk.'"

Slammed Carey's husband Nick Cannon then: "What type of grown...man lies about getting with a chick? Only Slim Lamey! LOL!"

Eminem later admitted to BBC Radio he "kind of spazzed out on that record.

"There's a line on there that was a little harsh. It's a harsh line... But it's like this, the way I look at it. I had no idea he was going to take it like he took it. I had no idea Nick Cannon was going to start wildin' out on me," he said.

Something tell us we haven;t seen that last of this back and forth.
