Charlize Theron: Happily Unmarried
Originally posted 05/15/2008 12:40PM
When Charlize Theron discusses her boyfriend of seven years, Irish actor Stuart Townsend, she's apt to get primal.
"Man, woman. Like to touch each other," is the Monster Oscar winner's "cavewoman grunt" response when asked about their relationship by W magazine, for its June issue.
Though Theron, 32, refers to Townsend, 35, as her husband, and she even sports a ring on the proper finger, the two are, in fact, not legally wed, says the magazine. And that's fine with Theron.

Carmen Electra: 'I Was Definitely Open to Love Again'
Originally posted 05/12/2008 02:00PM
Carmen Electra is no stranger to marriage. But two failed unions – to Dennis Rodman and Dave Navarro – didn't make the actress jaded.
"I was definitely open to love again," the recently engaged Electra told PEOPLE in Las Vegas at the Hard Rock Hotel on Saturday.
Love is exactly what she found with former touring Korn guitarist Rob Patterson, who popped the question in April by giving her a black diamond.
"The last couple weeks have been amazing on a lot of different levels," the Meet The Spartans star said at a junket for the film. "Rob is amazing. We were great friends and it actually turned into something much more."

Sarah Larson: I Would Have Ignored Clooney on a Reality Show
Originally posted 05/09/2008 01:20PM
Sarah Larson is not ashamed of her reality show past. But, the former Fear Factor contestant says if the tables were turned, she may not be dating George Clooney.
"If George had been on a reality show, I don't think I'd have talked to him," Larson says in the June issue of Harper's Bazaar. "It would have been like, 'That's nice.'"
Good thing it didn't deter him, though. "He still wants to date me, and I ate a scorpion," she says.

Heidi Klum: Seal Proposed in an Igloo
Originally posted 05/08/2008 02:00PM
While Heidi Klum has long made public her lust-at-first-sight reaction upon initially meeting her eventual husband Seal, she's now revealing how his marriage proposal propelled her to the top of the world – literally.
"[Seal] took me by helicopter," the Project Runway host, 34, tells Marie Claire's June issue about their December 2004 vacation to the Canadian Rockies. "He had an igloo built there, and they'd brought up everything: a bed with sheets inside the igloo, rose petals everywhere, candles. Very, very romantic!"
As she goes on to describe, "There was food and champagne, and then the helicopter left. It was a little scary, too, because you're so cut off from the world. No trees, nothing – it was hardcore. But I was ecstatic."
