Saturday, February 18th, 2012
Kim Kardashian is again in the news after she ended her 10 week old commitment with Kris Humphries, which was an expensive affair for the media as it cost them millions of dollars to publish in the news. Kim Kardashian was spotted with her ex-boyfriend Reggi Bush one day before Valentine’s Day having an expensive dinner together reported by TMZ.
Reggi Bush, yes you got it right he is the ex-boyfriend of Kim Kardashian. They ended their two year old dating saga in 2009 putting a full stop to all their rumors about their commitment. But now what are they are doing together? TMZ has asked about Reggi Bush to Kim on this hot topic and got a response “Hell No!”. “I don’t want another footballer in my life”, says Kim.
Both Reggi Bush and Kris Humphries were 1980’s born and five years younger than Kim Kardashian and that as why they don’t want to start this all over again.

At Jumpdates we did their match-making by using ancient Chinese astrology and here are a few facts about this..

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt…Find Perfect Match in Their Life
Friday, February 17th, 2012
The hottest couple right now in Hollywood Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt enjoys their love life and parenthood. Just like the variety found in a wardrobe couples also have different properties not only in United States but also in other countries around the world such as England, Italy and France. Need to call them to get the accurate stats, just kidding.
In Vegas - angelina-and-brad-with-their-six-children
Both of them are the successful Hollywood stars and don’t require any introduction even in many parts of the world, it’s just that their name is enough as they carry the charisma wherever they go, Angelina Jolie. They met on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith this was time when Brad Pitt was in the headline news for ending his 5 year old commitment with Jennifer Aniston. Soon after the divorce with Jennifer Aniston in April 2005 the love of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie was very much a public affair and was spotted enjoying their Vacation at the beach in Kenya. This was not the only relationship that failed for Brad Pitt as he dated his co-star in the movie Seven for three years. Angeline Jolie was also in search of her true love before this and she too has a history of failing relationships. She was involved in a serious relationship with her boyfriend of two years and when they brokeup it ignited her passion again for her acting career. Jolie was involved with her co-actors as this would lead to romance, but she got married to actor Billy Bob Thornton on 5th May 2000. But three years down the line they found that they were not made for each other and their divorce took place on May 2003.
After facing some storms in her previous commitment the couple has decided to live together to see whether their relationship is going to work? Their early days were difficult as Angelina was blamed of being a catalyst between Brad and Jennifer which led to the divorce between Brad and Jenifer. This allegation was condemned by Brad and Jolie. Jolie said that she can not do such thing and could not see herself in the morning. Probably as her mother was cheated by her father when she was only one years old.
It seems to be that early parenting was the key for lasting relationships, which is certainly now in their love life. When they started living together they were already a parent for Maddox. Angelina adopted Maddox from Cambodia, while shooting for “Tomb Raider” and when she committed to Billy Bob Thronton, they adopted a daughter Zahara from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. But going for their biological child gave a lot to talk about in their relationship and was visible with freaky articles putting question marks on their relationship. To shut all these media hype Jolie gave birth to a daughter Shiloh Nouvel. In 2007 they adopted a son Pax and soon Jolie gave good news at Cannes festival that she is expecting twins.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt sets the perfect example of couples around the world that it’s not only the commitment that keeps you together but it’s the love that works as cohesion. Both Angelina and Brad were unfortunate in their early relationship, but now with seven years of long relationship it’s like they finally found the “Love of their life”. The big question is when they are going to marry? Well this also seems to be on the cards as many celebrity websites published that they are going to marry this summer in France.

Of Sweethearts and Arts : Love Tested and Passed
Tuesday, January 17th, 2012
One of the lesser known pair Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera could be well placed as a case study of true love. It is said if love and hatred complements each other then it will create true love as a final outcome. Such an outcome did apply to Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera
Both were artists, and had a style of art which was as different as their personality, the Mexican pair were painters of unique sense and sensibilities that revolutionized the world of art.
Of Sweethearts and Arts : Love Tested and Passed -1
Diego Rivera was born in Guanajuato, Guanajuato, in a well-to-do family. His paternal side had roots from the Spanish noble lineage. Since the age of ten, Rivera studied art at the Academy of San Carlos in Mexico City.
Later on he went to Europe and since his early days in Europe from 1907 he spent studying with Eduardo Chicharro in Madrid, Spain, and he soon proceeded to Paris, France. His had a life which revolved around art and artistic places for which France was well known across the world so for a while he made Paris his home away from home and his circle of friends included artists from Montparnasse, like Amedeo Modigliani who painted his portrait in 1914. He was close to people like Ilya Ehrenburg, Chaim Soutine, Max Jacob, gallery owner Leopold Zborowski, and Moise Kisling, are all on canvas by Marie Vorobieff-Stebelska called “Homage to Friends from Montparnasse”.
After traveling across Europe studying art and culture Rivera finally returned to Mexico in 1921 and took interest in the government sponsored Mexican mural program planned by Vasconcelos. Which after a year paved the way for pioneering the Revolutionary Union of Technical Workers, Painters and Sculptors, and later that year itself he joined the Mexican Communist Party? Rivera was invited to create murals and frescos for many prestigious organizations within and outside Mexico and other places of international reputation making him an art icon of sorts.
The above distinction earned Rivera a unique place in the history of art and culture which drew a certain amount of liking in Kahlo as she too was present at times in the many opening ceremonies of his creative contributions that was showcased in many place of national importance
During the youthful age of 15, Kahlo met Rivera for the first time at the National Preparatory School as she was a student in that school and Rivera was a teacher there. Not mindful of their age difference and the fact that Rivera was a married man did not hold Kahlo from falling in love with her teacher Rivera and soon she made up her mind that a day will come when she would become his beloved and bear him a child. Although her longing to be with Rivera was just a fantasy at the time, still she would play hard to win his attention and kindle his wife’s jealousy by being a prankster and playing witty.
Of Sweethearts and Arts : Love Tested and Passed 2
Eventually the couple which had an uneven age gap had to part but again destiny would bring them together once gain. By 1928 Frida and Diego again were on a path of chance meeting and, this time it was due to the photographer and revolutionary, Tina Modotti. At that time when Modotti made the two artists reintroduce, it revived the dormant desire in Khalo to be with her beloved Rivera as it now had a better chance since Rivera was no longer married to Lupe. At once, Kahlo and Rivera sensed that they had much in common; pertaining to their work of art and the couple also found that they had a similar thinking about the social reality of their time. At last the couple married on August 21, 1929 when he was 42 and she was 22.
While rivera was an art icon but Kahlo was just known as Rivera’s charming wife and when the couple moved to America in 1930 Kahlo did not get the recognition that was due and was yet to be held in high regards for her artistic merit the way her husband was respected. So this created a deficiency in the relationship between the couple. But all that changed in 1932, when Kahlo experienced a devastating miscarriage. During the process of her recovery, Kahlo, made the fullest use of her extraordinary skill of giving a personal touch and created an a canvass self-portrait titled ‘Miscarriage in Detroit’. This was to be the first of several touching, astounding and, intellectual self-portraits that would propel Kahlo to dizzy heights in the world of art. From then on it was no-stop and she made good progress and was one of the best reknowned in the world of paintings.
It was after a good amount of talks and emotional discussion that the couple decided to return to Mexico in 1935, but again there were internal issues which got bigger by the day and soon it became the biggest problem. Once after arriving in Mexico, Rivera had an affair with Kahlo’s younger sister Christina, and this sliced Kahlo into pieces and every piece of her was subjected to the breach of trust by her husband and sister. Although the couple finally reconciled, Rivera’s affair had created a hate love relationship which also led to a disturbed pattern in their relationship causing both partners to later succumb to infidelity and betrayal.
In 1940 the couple got divorced and since then both had several affairs but in 1950, Kahlo’s health was giving up and it was not so promising to the point that Khalo kept on falling sick frequently and so the pair thought to reason their agony and suffering by reuniting and getting remarried. But call it bad fate or prolonged sickness which caused the sad demise of Frida, in 1954 and Rivera who was by her side.
The love affair of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera was one of true love and forgiveness making a love saga to be remembered by generations to come and was reflective of the couple’s untiring pursuit for artistic excellence and love.

Sportive in Love : Mr & Mrs M2
Sunday, January 15th, 2012
If you are a base player and that too a young one at that, then you are already flirting with the whole of America.
No other game in America is as popular as Baseball, in fact this sport has spun more movies for Hollywood compared to any other sport or profession. As in one movie ‘Fever Pitch’ where it’s all about Baseball Vs romance. But that was not the case with Matt Treanor who did not miss the catch of his love thrown at him from the pitcher who would later become Matt’s beloved wife .
Love live of Matt and Mysty
The Pitcher was none other than Misty May who was the most successful “beach-volley ball” Olympic player America has ever seen in recent times. Although volleyball came only 3rd or fourth in popularity to other American sports, but still beach volley ball being a sandy and sunny event scores over other sports as it has this dual flavor about it being a sporting event plus a picnic outing. Moreover with chicks joining the game it is never just a game with all it’s women player’s in sports bikinis can even give the baywatch girls a run for the money in the sex appeal .
Definitely Beach Volley ball has come a long way from the early days of being a male-only sport to being a babewatch event on the beaches. It is now a serious sports which has made it’s way into the tough domain of International Olympics and certainly it has made it to the hearts of every sportive beach goer in America and around the world where beach sports is a part of popular culture .
It all began on November 2003 at a sports therapy center in Orange, Calif. The flirtatious sport of baseball and the testosterone tempting game of beach volleyball finally got into a match of romance and from there on it progressed to the engagement semi-finals, thus Misty May got engaged to Matt Treanor on January 2004, well in this case both the teams won which got them qualified for the ‘marriage finals’. And the finals at last happened on Nov 2004 and the couple were pronounced husband & wife .
At the time of their marriage Matt was a promising player with Florida martins and was now participating in major league games across America while Misty won the gold for the country in the 2004 Athen Olympics.
So with marriage, came the balancing act for the couple to manage each others sports career and it was always demanding since Matt was busy playing tour matches and Misty was getting ready for the 2004 Athen Olympics.
Their busy life was evident as once Matt who was playing against the Mets in Shea Stadium couldn’t be with wife Misty during the 2008 Bejing Olympics and so Matt had to ask his friend to feed him “the play by play status” of his wife’s critical moments of the game over the cell phone .
But all this celebrity conditioning and busy life did not make the couple naïve to the sense of reality as they were as normal a people as anybody, more so to their friends and relatives. When asked about her life outside volleyball she (Misty) said “Once the day is over in volleyball, I leave the court and no one sees or hears from me for the rest of the day. I like to keep work at work. It’s pretty easy for me to live a pretty normal life. I like to coach and I like to sit in a crowd at a baseball game. No one really recognizes me unless I’m walking around a beach half-naked in a suit with my name on it.
So here is cheers ! to M-squared couple for playing the game of life as it comes. Hope their game never ends.

Monroe effects: Some Divorce to Escape, Some Divorce for Reconciliation - Part 1
In the 50’s and 60’s, Hollywood was a hope to one and all who wanted to break free from the chains of mediocre social conventions and lifestyle and so Hollywood certainly took Marilyn in it’s spell and also took away a lot of things from Marilyn, slowly she became too much to be not written or spoken about.
Love life of Merilyn Monroe
She became the topic of many a teaser gossips within the elite social circles, also she soon realized that the industry itself which made her a superstar, would be waiting to take advantage of her stardom, so in the process she lost some genuine friends and would become irritated which added to the insecurity she was harboring since childhood as she was sexually abused several times as a child.
So finally became a well established actress when she started speaking about it in the public and she was ridiculed in her approach about the topic which was received with a lot of indifference from the public at large . All this made her think that the world which already had a feast on her ordeal as an abused child was now targetting her, Marilyn almost felt as if she has mortgaged her life to the media which made her feel insecure and had to be institutionalized much against her wishes plus her socialistic view on society and her ever ready gesture to help the downtrodden and poor made her a friend of many communist personalities during that time, which bought her under the direct suspicion of the many anti-communist establishments specially the homeland security and FBI etc. It is said that J.D Edgar Hoover chief of FBI was primarily responsible for the slow deterioration of an otherwise healthy Marilyn which eventually lead to her demise.
Thus as a husband of the lady who was the “Queen of Hollywood” and more has a true friend, Joe helped Marilyn when she was being considered for frequent rehabilitation and when she was forcibly admitted to a rehab center which was not only hostile towards Marilyn but the rehab center was attempting to frame her as an extreme psychotic case, under direct but unofficial orders from the FBI. It is then when Joe DiMaggio realized that Marilyn had to be rescued and so Joe played an important role in giving her a normal life, thus all who were close to the couple could clearly notice the depth of the love between them. According to Jerry Coleman, “Joe DiMaggio deeply loved that woman.” According to Lois Smith, “The attraction to Joe remained great. Marilyn knew where she stood with him. He was always there, she could always call on him, lean on him depend on him, be certain of him. It was a marvelous feeling of comfort for her.” As Marilyn told Danish journalist, “To know that Joe is there is like having a life guard”, and Joe DiMaggio certainly proved that.
Lastly the question as to what led to Marilyn’s so-called suicide remains unanswered to date, did she die a Mysterious death ? …was the FBI or Dr. Greenson responsible for her death? or was Marilyn’ herself responsible is debatable.
But it was Joe who wanted Marilyn to be completely happy and he knew from the beginning that underneath the cloud of stardom and illicit happiness was a mountain of sadness in Marilyn’s heart which he (Joe) wanted to reason with, but Marlyin had strayed too far and believed too much in the glamour world and so it was too late for Joe to save her from all the influencing factors which shaped Marilyn Monroe’s to the final days.
I think all the above begs to drive the message that Love is above anything humans have known or created, if one finds true love in one’s life time then it is like being the richest person on earth.

Monroe effects: Some Divorce to Escape, Some Divorce for Reconciliation - Part 1
Saturday, January 7th, 2012
So much has been written and so much has been read about Marilyn Monroe that it has created a mystery of sorts, plus the men in her life have always wanted to control her so as to stall her success by being abusive in more than one way. One wonders whether it was jealousness of the male order that couldn’t digest a woman’s spectacular success or was it a plot by some feminist groups themselves who were at the risk of loosing the attention they used to enjoy as the full quota of media attention was just going to these Hollywood beauties. Such was the case of Marilyn Monroe who was being subjected to all the negative circus of life so much so that Dr. Greenson in whom Marilyn confided, had to isolate Marilyn from friends, colleagues and staff and what he had called “bad influences.
Love life of Merilyn Monroe with Joe DiMaggio
Dr. Greenson reasoned by isolating Marilyn from all her friends and saying “this is the kind of planning you do with an adolescent girl who needs guidance, friendliness and firmness, and she seems to be taking it very well. Of course, she doesn’t think about canceling several hours to go to Palm Springs to be with Mr. Frank Sinatra”.
Well…Frank as she called him was one of the three men with whom she was in a relationship at various points in her life.
But her first love was Joe DiMaggio who was a base ball player and was the best as Marilyn once said “I don’t know if I’m in love with him yet, but I know I like him more than any man I’ve ever met.”
Marilyn’s personality did contrast with Joe’s, as Joe came from a Catholic background with strict joint-family values which was all about strong Sicilian ethics and heritage. Whereas Marilyn came from a broken parental relationship, and had spent her child hood with foster parents.
As for Marilyn Monroe she was not just a celebrity but had become a brand in her own right and her branding had all the flavors of the generation she belonged to . As the sixties was the beginning of the romantic era which was detoxifying the residual effects of World War-II happening in Korea supported by Russia on the one hand and United states on the other, plus along with America, Russia too was enjoying it’s share of Soviet communist success as later on it earned the reputation of being the first country to dominate the Space Age. So both Russia and America were closely watching each other and as superpowers both were proving to the rest of the world about each one’s superiority and might. But America had a better score in terms of democracy and more freedom specially concerning women, so America for the world was a melting pot of happening things in those days, Unlike today’s America which is a struggling capitalist society reeling under the weight of recession and heavy debt .
Coming back to Joe, in July 1952, Joe made Marilyn meet his family in San Francisco. At once Marilyn clearly realized why Joe wanted her ‘HIS WOULD BE WIFE’ to be domestic - AS IN RAISING CHILDREN, COOKING ETC, and it had always been that way in Joe’s family being a catholic one. But all the same on January 14, 1954 the couple got married.
Some of Joe’s close friends who knew Joe too well felt that it wasn’t just the career aspect of Marilyn as an actress. But the media attention she got, was over shadowing him from the public attentio Joe had previously enjoyed. People soon saw and sensed that when they both walked into a room, it wasn’t Joe who was in the limelight in fact his presence at times was completely ignored. Obviously being a star baseball player of the country Joe was used to being the center of attention. But now Marilyn was getting all the attention and Joe couldn’t deal with that. Moreover coming from a strict Catholic household, it was certain that Joe got acutely enraged by watching the sensual and historical stunt of air blowing his wife’s dress over her head which became the sexy, skirt-flying shot for the movie “Seven Year Itch” and that scene of the film gave Marilyn the universal brand appeal that defines her even today. So Joe finally wanted to pull out and the couple got divorced by October 1954 just a few months after their formal marriage.

This is Where it Ends Baby !!
Sunday, January 1st, 2012
High octane couple Russell Brand and Katy Perry finally called it off. Personally I am not surprised but for many of you who are surprised by this news need to know that for all this while Russell was in the process of recovery from his addictive state, it was all falling heavily on Katy the one person in his “life”. Thereafter, before she could do anything about it, the emotional stress lead to a negative chain reaction. Slowly cracks in the relationship started appearing one after the other which was affecting the non-personal areas of the couple. Well, no wonder they didn’t last. What kind of a persona can live up to that?
Russell Brand and Katy Perry Called It Off
What is very heart-touching is that theirs was a marriage which happened as per traditional Hindu ceremony, at a place near to “Ranthambhore tiger sanctuary” in Rajasthan western India, the same location where Brand proposed Katy. Now, as per popular opinion getting married in a very traditional and anti-divorce country like India should have given the couple a better “marriage mileage” at least a lot more than other Hollywood celebrities.
On the contrary for Russell it was pure psychology that rode above cultural and ritualistic sentiments, no wonder Brand succumbed to the ways of the heart which he did what had to be done. So Brand filed for divorce from Katy in Los Angeles, citing irreconcilable differences.
As for Katy her religious roots and cultural sentiments did matter, at least to the extent it did not allow her to initiate the divorce proceedings, due to her evangelical Christian background and her family’s belief that divorce is wrong, so our man Russell rose to the occasion and detonated the time bomb called divorce .
Detonation is a triggered event so what are those trigger points which can blow up a marriage is what evolutionary psychologist and pundits of “Darwin theory” are still trying to figure out.
“Divorce trigger point management” or in short DTPM is what Modern Society should be learning and improving upon because in human couples separation of the pair is true but is not normally desired so it is not valid. Therefore it needs to be legally sanctioned, but in animals it is both true and valid since it is sanctioned by the “laws of natural selection”.
All I can say is that I wish Charles Darwin was alive today and guess where his office would be….of course it would be in the Divorce Capital of the world …still guessing ..it is Hollywood of course!

It’s Love-all.. score for David Beckham and Victoria Adams!!
Sunday, January 1st, 2012
Whoever said “Football is like a fertility carnival Eleven sperm trying to get into the egg, so I feel sorry for the goalkeeper” has a wrong perception about the goal keeper in a man’s life .
So what is it with football and marriage, one did say both involve balls …well jokes apart but on a serious note there is more to what happens off the field than what happens on the field and the one football player who bends it right is David Beckham who finally scored a perfect goal with his beloved goalkeeper and ‘to be wife’ Victoria and the score is only growing with the passing of time.
Love Live of David Beckham and Victory Adams
The couple started dating in 1997 by initiating low-profile dates – going out, casual shopping, dining out etc, until one day David knelt on one knee and proposed to Victoria. One interesting piece of their pre-nuptial event is that the couple preferred not to cut their engagement cake but, Instead they donated the cake to a charity event for a Community Primary School in Cheshire. The cake was “a replica of the foyer with Victoria sitting at the top and David sitting behind her .
So finally the day America celebrates it’s independence day was the very day in 1999 the couple got married at the 560-acre estate of the 1794, gothic Luttrellstown Castle. But this time their wedding cake which was topped with a nude sculpture of the newlyweds was indeed cut and distributed among the guests and speaking of guests. their wedding invitees included David and Debbie Seamon, the Spice Girls, and Sir Bobby Charlton who were one of the 230 or so invitees in the list.
If there is any couple who swears by tattoos then it ought to be David and Victoria, I mean the tattoos are so much reflective of their marriage and family life. So when asked about his tattoos Beckam says “Mine are all about the people in my life, my wife and sons, whom I want to have with me always. When you see me, you see the tattoos. You see an expression of how I feel about Victoria and the boys. They’re part of me.”-Source: Beckham: Both Feet on the Ground, page 284.
Thus parenthood also seems to be smooth sailing for the couple as for Victoria a mother of 4 this what she had to say “I know I would sacrifice anything for my boys (David and sons), including my career, even though I also know that they would never ask me to.” Source: Victoria Beckham. Learning to Fly: The Autobiography. 2005. pg. 516.
One wonders if this is a fairytale of two people falling in love and raising a family and more importantly staying together irrespective of the circumstances which life has in store. Now my point is if they can do it ..then why don’t other celebrity couples live life like them … can any body bend it like Beckham…!

Romantics: A Blend of Romance and Politics
Thursday, December 29th, 2011
If two people of the opposite gender fall in love then it amounts to the usual vanilla equation as part of gender dynamics , but what if two personalities fall in love embodying with them two separate cultures from two completely different places.
Jawaharlal Nehru and Edwina Mountbatten
That’s exactly what happened with Jawaharlal Nehru who was the first prime minister of India and Edwina Mountbatten who was the wife of India’s last Viceroy- Lord Mountbatten. Initially their relationship had this typical algebraic pattern called “ more as friends and less as lovers” Over a period of time their love mathematics stood the test of time till death did one of them apart as lady Edwina passed away in 1960.The testimony of their fondness and bonding was proved when Nehru’s letters were found all over her(lady Edwina’s) death bed, and equally proving Nehru’s love for the lady was the fact that Nehru paid tribute to the departed soul of his beloved by sending a naval ship all the way from India to offer marigolds to the ocean waters touching the English Channel where she was put to rest.
After all these years, the relationship between Nehru and lady Mountbatten finds an odd mention in the media to the extent that the very “congress party” which was once upon a time pioneered by Nehru and team recently had asked the producers of a film based on the above romantic relationship between Nehru and lady Edwina Mountbatten to rewrite certain depictions in the movie for it to pass censorship. It is just not only the romance between India’s first prime minister and the wife of the man responsible for breaking apart and causing the Partition of India. But it is about the nature of camaraderie that they shared. A lot many of Nehru’s letters to Edwina after she left India, sought her advice on matters of geo-strategic issues and concerns of the state and the sub-continent. It is said that it was because of this extramarital affair between Nehru and lady Mountbatten that Punjab and Bengal were partitioned and Kashmir illegally annexed by Delhi.
Although the relationship has been off late speculated by close associates of Nehru and Edwina, as being more than platonic and the narrations in the book “Indian Summer: The Secret History of the End of an Empire” written by the historian Alex von Tunzelmann highlights the point that the relationship also had a physical angle to the entire romantic episode between Nehru and lady Edwina Mountbatten, which invariably has been justified by the French author and Social thinker Catherine Clement, who has written a novel on the romance titled ‘Edwina and Nehru’ published in 1993.
The author had said Edwina had confessed that her relationship with Nehru was “mostly platonic so why are people so misinformed? Both (Edwina and Nehru) were past their middle age and as adults they had a relationship that bears testimonial to the letters and eyewitness accounts. I have myself interacted with close aides of Nehru,” she said, adding that they knew intimate details of Nehru’s life as a prime minister. More over during the time her book was launched, Catherine said she has had a hearty discussion with the Congress president Sonia Gandhi and had given her a copy. When asked if the script had got Sonia’s nod, Clement said, “She (Sonia) said it was al-right to be published and did not display any shocking concerns.
Sadly in today’s modern times if a love affair had to happen with such leading personalities then it would simply be termed as a scandal or better still would amount to power-play romance, inviting media attention as every tabloid or TV news channel would be spinning various versions of the affair in order to create a media hype. I am sure whatever happened between Monica Lewinski and Bill Clinton could have been handled more gracefully but today’s media does not pardon people falling in love or being in a relationship as it did a few generations back .
Today people hardly have the freedom to fall in love and no wonder couples these days have started to isolate their romantic life which again is not fulfilling or satisfying to the heart but may surely fill the pockets of many.
