Jason Manford and Splits from Wife

One of the funnies men in the business, Jason Manford, has split from his wife of six years.

The couple have announced the split after six years of marriage, during which Jason was involved in multiple sex scandals.

Despite the pair only just confirming the end of their relationship, it is said that they have been separated for a year.

A source told The Mirror that the pair had remained good friends but had simply grown apart.

Their marriage looked to be on the rocks back in 2010 when Jason famously quit his job on The One Show after it was discovered that he’d been exchanging saucy Twitter messages with a fan.

To add to this he then admitted that he had engaged in online sex with a porn star as well as another 12 females.

Jason’s wife took him back after he apologised publicly for his actions but the marriage didn’t last with the couple separating last year.

Is Kristen Stewart Meeting with Rupert Sanders?

New pictures of emerged of Kristen Stewart allegedly meeting with Rupert Sanders despite their previous affair causing the breakdown of their relationships.

The pictures show Kristen and a man who looks suspiciously like Rupert Sanders meeting in a car park.

The man thought to be Rupert is sat in a car that looks similar in style to the Director’s car, whilst Kristen walks over to the car and gets in the passenger seat.

You’d have thought after the trouble their last meeting caused they wouldn’t dare to be seen together again.

Especially since Robert Pattinson forgave Kristen and took her back on the condition that she no longer see or work with the Director.

The affair between Kristen and Rupert last year lead to both of their relationships breaking down, despite both of them saying how sorry they were for what they had done.

Both Liberty Ross, Rupert’s wife, and Robert took back their partners but the aftermath of the affair was too much for Liberty Ross who later filed for divorce from her husband.

Robert took Kristen back but with the release of these new pictures will their relationship make the end of the week?

To add salt to the wound, Kristen met with the man suspected to be Rupert at the Mexican eatery where Rob held Kristen’s birthday party last week – ouch!

Kirk Norcross Claims to Have Slept with Over 1,000 Women

TOWIE star Kirk Norcross has revealed in his autobiography that he’s slept with between 800 and 1,000 women in just 10 years.

The 24-year-old lost his virginity at 14 and has since gone on to, according to himself, bed nearly a thousand women.

Of course, he’s bragged his way through his autobiography listing WAGs, porn stars and Playboy bunnies that he has slept with but rather than a pat on the back, he deserves a slap around the mouth – or a lot worse.

How vile is this excuse for a man? How low must his self-esteem be that he has to sleep with 1,000 women to give himself a boost?

He even mentions of how he’s so proud of his manhood that he used to ask his one night stands to tell their friends about it and then to give him a call – what the hell?

He briefly dated porn star Gemma Massey but poor Kirk had to split up with her because he couldn’t handle to amount of men she had to sleep with because of her job, what a shame!

Kirk also admitted that he likes the fake look and the more fake a woman looked, the more attracted he was to her.

This explains why he was dated Amy Childs who has undergone multiple surgeries as well as Lauren Pope whom he had a his n’ hers nose job with before splitting up.

There’s also no surprise that he was romantically linked to Jodie Marsh but, shockingly, the pair aren’t thought to have slept together!

I think I speak for all women when I say that I pray to God that not all men are like this low-life, womanising fool.

Would You Give Up Your Career for Married Bliss?

It’s a big question for many women, do you continue building your career or do you choose to settle down and have kids?

Samantha Brick told the Daily Mail of how she had to transform into a French Housewife after her career went bust, but could you do the same?

Relationships are all about sacrifice, but is it really possible to leave behind a career to become and mother and full time housewife?

It’s something I couldn’t do. I think there are generally two types of women, the ones who are desperate for the family orientated, housewife role and the ones who want a career.

If you’re more inclined to have a career then you’re less likely to be able to move from that to the role of housewife.

It’s a completely different environment and something that just wouldn’t suit most career driven women – they crave a work environment.

For a housewife, it can be hard to adjust to a work place, with them feeling much more comfortable at home where they are fully in control.

I’m not saying you can’t have them both, of course there are women who seem to find a perfect balance but if you’ve gone from high flying business woman to housewife and family woman, it has to leave a hole.

Cheryl Cole wants new boyfriend to meet Ashley…. Really?

It has come to light this morning that Cheryl Cole has reportedly admitted that she wants new boyfriend, Tre Holloway to meet her cheating ex Ashley Cole.

Yes, you read that right.

For some reason, the singer thinks it’s a good idea for new beau to meet the man who reportedly cheated on her numerous times.

Cheryl has admitted that she still has regular contact with Ashley, and revealed on the Jonathan Ross show that she has showed him her new autobiographical book which reveals details of the difficult times in her life – ie when the scandals broke in the tabloids.

What’s even more strange is that supposedly Tre wants to meet Ashley too, if you ask me though, surely it’s to mark his territory and show Ashley that Cheryl is now ‘his’.

A meeting between the ex and the new boyfriend is only going to go one way, and that’s awkward.

Why on earth would Cheryl put herself through that?

Stress-related arguments taking over

Stress-related arguments are at an all-time high, a study has revealed.

Researchers found the average couple now falls out four times a week, with over-spending, a lack of help around the house and paying bills the most likely triggers.

Six in ten of the 2,000 adults polled said stress ’tips them over the edge’ and sparks fights with loved ones, which wouldn’t happen under normal circumstances.

Feeling worked up is also affecting parents’ relationships with their kids, causing a slump in productivity at work and putting couples’ sex lives on hold.

One in four said stress had lead them to ‘hitting the bottle’ and one in five have ‘become depressed’.

The study was commissioned by leading health and wellbeing mutual Benenden Healthcare Society.

Yesterday Karin Mochan, editor of benhealth magazine, the quarterly title for Benenden, said: ”There’s no doubt that many of us feel the effects of stress in our everyday lives, resulting in a major impact on our personal relationships and work lives.

”Twelve million people go to their GP every year with mental health problems and they’re often stress related. These rising stress levels are partly due to the fast pace of modern life and the demands that our jobs, families and financial responsibilities place on us.

”When we feel unable to cope with these demands, stress can start to show itself in a number of ways.

”Symptoms can be both physical and psychological – and so knowing what to look for can be an important step towards finding a solution.”

The study of 2,000 Brits aged between 18 and 65 quizzed them on their stress levels; what gets them worked up, what it affects and how they deal with it.

The average couple endured two stress-related arguments 12 months ago, but talk of a double-dip recession and the expense of Christmas means tension is building up in millions of British households.

A quarter said they have ‘gone days’ without talking to their partner and more than half said it’s a ‘vicious circle’.

The survey found anxiety isn’t just causing fights amongst loved ones, but is affecting many areas of people’s lives.

One in five have avoided getting passionate with their partner because they have too much on their mind.

Daily pressures has lowered the sex drive of nearly half of Brits and four in ten have point blankly refused to any physical activity with their partner.

The same number have even gone without sex for a fortnight while they got their head straight.

Karin Mochan added: ”We all experience stress in different ways and it can start to have a very real impact on our day-to-day lives.

”Instead of turning to the bottle or withdrawing from your friends and family, it really is a good idea to talk about what’s troubling you. Whether you confide in your partner, a friend or work colleague or the family doctor, the old saying of a problem shared is a problem halved still holds true.

”We need to lose the stigma attached to mental health issues such as stress. It is a lot more common than many of us think and doesn’t need to be hidden behind closed doors.”

Women attempting to give their man a makeover

They say a leopard will never change his spots, but women will certainly have a go of it.

New research has revealed that seven out of ten women have ‘done a Liz Hurley’ and given their man a makeover to improve his image.

Researchers found millions of women have copied Hurley’s remoulding of lover Shane Warne by altering their man’s hair, weight, lifestyle or eating habits.

Others have made dress sense their first priority, encouraging him to ditch scruffy jeans and tatty shirts for smarter, more presentable clobber.

Shedding unsightly beards or growing trendy stubble are also common issues which women address within weeks of meeting a new partner.

The trend emerged amid a study carried out by Wilkinson’s Sword to launch the  Movember charity fundraising event to raise awareness of men’s health problems.

Spokesman Jason Shankey, Wilkinson Sword’s Grooming Expert said: ”This research shows there is definitely a ‘Shane Warne effect’ sweeping through the country at the moment.

”The positive effect Liz Hurley has had on Shane Warne’s overall appearance is remarkable.

”And it seems women of the UK want to recreate similar results on their own men.

”A growing number of men are asking for shaving advice as their wives and girlfriends have requested they’re clean shaven.”

The study found nearly one third of women felt they had their boyfriend or husband ‘under their thumb’, with 60 per cent claiming they ‘knew best’ about style and image.

One quarter of those questioned said it had taken them just two weeks to start moulding their new partner in to their perfect man.

Second only to changing the way he dresses, altering his shaving habits to clip facial hair more regularly was the most common change.

Around 51 per cent said of those who had changed their man’s diet said their other half now ate more healthily.

Thirty-two per cent said they encouraged their other half to save money rather than be in the overdraft by payday and 25 per cent said they got them to talk more and open up about their thoughts and feelings.

Of the 2,000 women surveyed, 40 per cent said they felt it was a woman’s job to ‘makeover’ their man.

Worryingly, one third said they did it subtly, another third were ‘sneaky’ about it while the rest made it clear to their partner changes needed to be made.

Jason Shankey added: ”Getting involved in Movember is the perfect way for men to claim back their masculinity and grow a manly moustache.

”I’m sure women can forgive a month of facial hair on their partner for such a good cause as men’s health.

”And when December rolls around they can celebrate by shaving it all off to reveal the super smooth, clean shaven look they prefer.”

Top 20 things women change about their men:

1. Dress sense

2. Shaving habits

3. Hairstyle

4. Nose and ear hair issues

5. Shoe choice

6. Aftershave

7. Plucking eyebrows

8. Improving hygiene

12. Financial responsibility

13. Talking about their feelings

14. Drinking less

15. Watching more chick flicks

16. Call mum more frequently

17. Put the toilet seat down

18. Stop swearing

Men Are So… Good At Pretending They Care

The worst thing about a break up is telling people. I hate going out and having people ask ‘Where’s your boyfriend?’ I suppose that’s one good thing about Facebook. At least when your status changes, most people find out that two has become one (not in the awesome Spice Girls way) and you avoid the bursting-into-tears-on-the-dance-floor debacle.

I recently broke up with my boyfriend. A sad time in anyone’s life. It’s rough because this person – who was such a huge part of your life – is no longer around, it’s almost as though there is a void in your day-to-day activity. Who am I going to sneakily text at work? Who’s going to meet me off the tube and spend the night watching movies and eating crappy food with me? Surely there’s someone out there who wants to spend time with me?

Last night, my Facebook status update read:  Dahlia went from being ‘in a relationship’ to ‘single’ and for some reason, having this emblazoned across my profile acts as a beacon of ‘booty’ to all the sleazes on my friends list. I received messages from guys I barely even talk to with the transparent opener; ‘OH NO, what happened?!’

I’m pretty sure the direct translation is; ‘Do you need re-bound sex?’

But I’ll have to confront my girl to douche dictionary on that one.

Ordinarily, I would probably have begun texting one of these miscreants in an attempt to fill the space my boyfriend had just vacated (not that space, you dirty minds!) only to find that I have been rejected again because, two weeks down the line, he’s realised he won’t be sleeping with me. But now, after enlisting the help of my friends, literature, websites and movies, I’m going to play these guys at their own game.

PROJECT 1: Taming the ‘player.’

Men Are So… Into Page Three

What is it with men and topless women? I just don’t understand why they insist of having them plastered all over their wall / computer / phone and calendars… it’s bad enough that we can’t open a tabloid without staring at someone’s breasts every morning, but how would blokes feel if page two of every newspaper was a picture of a naked fella?

Does anyone else find it unnerving when you’re sat there with a guy, thinking about how you could murder a pizza and a glass of wine, and all you can see is a teeny-waisted girl staring back at you, gloating; “I’m fitter than you.”

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve got nothing against these girls, my fellow columnist Karly Ashworth is probably the prettiest page three girls I’ve ever seen, and I know there’s no way on earth my man would have a chance with her, but I still don’t like the idea that he looks at these teeny women with perfect skin and hair and nails and bums and boobs whilst I’m waddling around with my non-tanned skin and wondering why I can’t live up to them?

Someone said to me last night; “Memphis, the more weight you lose, the less confident you become.” And I think it’s true… but no matter how hard I try, I’ll never be like them, does that mean I’m not enough?
