On Gear Live: Samsung S95C: The OLED TV You Can’t Afford (to Ignore!)

Salma Hayek and Francois-Henri PinaultIf you were one of ‘s Facebook friends, you would have seen a lot of activity in the relationship department this year. In less than 12 months, the actress has gone from “engaged”...to “single”...to “dating”...to married.

This past Saturday, the Frida star and her on-and-off beau were wed in the The City of Lights. The Parisian ceremony, held at a city hall, happened eight months after Hayek and Francois-Henri Pinault called off their previous engagement.

Pinault, the father of Salma’s 17-month old daughter, Valentina, and Salma began dating back in 2006. Although they became engaged in March 2007, Salma told Oprah last year that she wasn’t in a rush to run down the aisle. Several months after that conversation, her relationship with the 46-year-old billionaire (coincidentally?) came to an end.

Rumors of a rekindled romance started surfacing weeks before the Valentine’s Day nuptials.

Marc Anthony, Jennifer Lopez and their twins

Although it was rumored Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony would be over come February 14, the couple appeared to be quite happy this past Saturday.

Jennifer, who was attending Marc’s Madison Square Garden concert, eventually wound up on stage with her husband. Helping to complete the family photo were their two babes, Max and Emme. (The twins celebrate their first birthday on February 22nd.)

Had the earlier reports been true, this would have been J.Lo’s second Valentine’s Day split. Sean Combs officially announced his break up from Lopez back on February 14, 2001.

In a new interview with CBS’ The Early Show, Angela Suleman painted a much better picture of her daughter (“Octo-mom” ) than the one she made last week.

During her first chat with RadarOnline.com, Angela - who may have been paid $40,000 for her comments - called Nadya’s actions “unconscionable.” The frustrated grandmother added, “She really really has no idea what she’s doing to her children and to me.”

And though she is still not willing to house all 14 children, Angela is now calling her daughter a “good mother.” “You can resent your daughter just for so long, then you see that she’s trying so hard to take care of these children,” she explained.

Rihanna and Chris Brown

Today, one week after his canceled Grammy performance, Chris Brown finally offered a statement to the media. Although he didn’t specifically acknowledge harming anyone (or that the person in question was even Rihanna), the singer claims he is now seeking counseling support.

“Words cannot begin to express how sorry and saddened I am over what transpired. I am seeking the counseling of my pastor, my mother and other loved ones and I am committed, with God’s help, to emerging a better person.

Much of what has been speculated or reported on blogs and/or reported in the media is wrong. While I would like to be able to talk about this more, until the legal issues are resolved, this is all I can say except that I have not written any messages or made any posts to Facebook, on blogs or any place else. Those posts or writings under my name are frauds.”

Mandy Moore and Ryan Adams

On paper, Mandy Moore’s love life has been just as successful as Jennifer Love Hewitt’s. Let’s just hope this engagement fares a bit better.

Despite breaking up last summer, 24-year-old Mandy Moore and musician Ryan Adams are now engaged. The two started dating back in December 2007 only to call it quits by July. At that time, Adams, 34, told OK! magazine that the media spotlight was just too much for him.

“Unfortunately I am allergic to paparazzi and have found the best antidote to that sort of nonsense is staying behind the guitar and typewriter, staying close to my support group of friends and band mates and not engaging in activities that prevent me from taking care of myself or others,” he said. “I found the entire speculation and subsequent photographs and intrusions terrifying and only wish to live as normal a life as possible, so that I might always remain punk as f*** AND sober.”

Courtney Love

When I look at this picture of Courtney Love from yesterday’s Elle Style Awards, so many questions come to mind:

  1. Is it the lack of a bra…or just an unflattering angle?
  2. When did the Hole singer morph into Madonna?
  3. Why the heck was she chosen as Elle‘s Woman of the Year?

Our ProFlowers gift certificates giveaway has come to a close, and we wanted to quickly announce the winners. If you recall, all you had to do to enter was leave your best or worst Valentine’s Day memory on our forum, and we chose five winners randomly:

mynenni talked about her blind date disaster:

My worst was a blind date that a friend set me up on.  It was horrible; well not to start with.  He came to door with a big bouqet of flowers.  We then spent the day at Magic Mountian where we quickly ran out of things to talk about and I learned he was a major wimp when it came to rides (really?  then why did you bring me here?)

Afterward, we stopped at a classy resteraunt for dinner.  I took my napkin and layed it across my lap…he took his napkin and layed it across the table.  It was torture sitting across from him trying to come up with conversation as he ate with his mouth open.  I have to figure that by this point he was trying to just be over the top horrible (I think we both knew it was not going past the first date); then at the end of the meal he put his face on the table (okay it was on the napkin he layed out earlier) and moved his head across to wipe his mouth.  NO HANDS!!!

At least he didn’t make me pay…

adamb0mb posted this memory:

All she wanted was to go see the UW vs WSU basketball game on Feb 14th.  I picked her up from work, went to a bar to meet up with some friends for drinks and shots.  Then she snuck in 6 airplane bottles of booze… and we drank at the game.  I don’t even remember who won, but we had a hell of a time!

auntiethesis recalled a dinner date:

My best memory is last year’s Valentine’s Day. My husband took me to a great restaurant and I totally blew my diet eating steak and mashed potatoes. It was the first time I’d ever had Creme Brulee, too. While we were eating, he surprised me with a tennis bracelet that I’d wanted forever.  It was a far cry from his usual Applebee’s dinner and a box of Stover chocolates.

Long-time reader gohan_bcc1 brought it back to high school:

My one and only valentine memory was getting to school in grade 12 and finding a really awesome gift in my locker. In my locker was a car model of my dream car (Audi R8) with a customized license plate to match my current license plate. It identical to my license including the plate # and the province and design. It was also an inside joke that the one we saw in the parking lot two months back was mine. It was really cool to see. Not only that but there was a note for me to go to the library and look on page 82 of the book of the last movie we saw. Which was actually Harry Potter: Order of the Phoenix. Inside this book was a note saying this entitles me to receive a package being held at the office. I go to the office and get this package. Inside was a bunch of hockey cards each with a letter written on it. All of these cards were of my favourite team the Calgary Flames of course. There was a hint written on the inside of the package that said to spell out a date. So after hours of figuring this out it spelt out Tuesday March 6th 8:00pm. After seeing the date i realized it was the date of a hockey game for the Calgary Flames. I then got a text saying to go back to my locker. And sitting in my locker were two tickets to the game on that date at that time. Best gift ever!

sandyu‘s was short and sweet:

The best when my husband got out of the military, he was injured but he was alive and home.

Joaquin Phoenix recently made the shocking announcement that he was leaving his film career behind and subsequently began growing a wild, untended beard and letting his brown locks hang long. He also seems to be launching a new career as a rapper.

The actor offered some insight into his new look in .

“It’s been important for me to just do something that’s extreme—that really separates me from that public Joaquin Phoenix persona,” he explained. His look certainly is extreme. But then the actor-turned-something else added, “Maybe I’m just lazy.”

Many have said the Phoenix career switch-up is all a hoax, part of some sort of promotional effort for a documentary which, it’s said, is being created by and Phoenix. A lackluster performance given by Phoenix seems to confirm the rumors. By the way, the video of Phoenix falling off the stage is still being bandied about the Internet.
