What Kind Of Healthy Role Model Is Katie Holmes? A Freakin Awesome One.

Ever since his famous jumping-up-and-down incident on Oprah where he declared his undying love for Katie Holmes, Tom Cruise has gotten, well, weird. And while some speculate that his involvement with Scientology is to blame for the demise of their marriage, others claim it was (gasp!) a relationship with David Beckham (second gasp!). But who really cares, right? Well, we do, maybe a little. But more importantly, we care about Katie and the awesomely healthy role model that she has become for women and relationships. More »

What Your Choice In 'Toxic Men' Says About You

Sinead O’Connor’s 16-Day Lesson In Why Not To Get Married
