This will clear the path for new and happier experiences together.

How do you know when to call it quits on a new relationship?
Cupid’s Advice:
Breaking up with someone you once cared for is never an easy thing to do. How do you know if you’re making the right decision? Are the problems you and your companion have something that can be fixed? Cupid is here to help:
1. Lack of communication: There’s no use in trying to save a dying relationship when you and your partner stop talking to each other completely. Communication is key to any sizzling relationship. If you can’t fully express the way you feel and the problems you and your significant other seem to be having are just getting worse, it may be time to call it quits.
2. Wondering eyes: The heat in your relationship may not be as intense as it used to be if you find yourself interested in another person. The same goes for your honey. You and your boyfriend/girlfriend should only have eyes for each other. Talk to your partner about the status of your relationship if someone else is making you smile and weak in the knees.
3. The love is gone: Don’t be with someone you no longer have feelings for. If you’ve fallen out of love and it’ obvious that your girlfriend/boyfriend doesn’t feel the same way about you anymore, let each other go. Continuing on with a relationship the both of you don’t want to be in anymore will only make matters fizzle out more. You never know, the two of you might just be better off as friends.

How do you decide how to split up domestic duties when you live together?
Cupid’s Advice:
Living you live with your partner can turn you into the designated chef, dishwasher or spider killer. So how do you decide on how you split up the domestic duties? Cupid has some advice for you:
1. Make a list: Sit down with your partner and discuss what needs to be done in your house including dishes, cooking, sweeping, etc. Once you figure out what needs to be done and how often, make a chart and print it so you can keep organized around the house.
2. Divvy the duties: If you can’t decide on what domestic duty each of you should be in charge of try turning it into a game. Grab a coin and play coin toss, the winner gets to decide what chore he or she/wants to do and continue doing this until all the chores are set. This keeps it fun and you get the job done.
3. Stick to what you know: Some people like cleaning and cooking and others enjoy killing spiders and fixing broken appliances. If you and your partner can agree on what works best in your relationship then stick to what you know. Also, take the time to help each other it will remind you why you are living together in the first place.

Avril Lavigne and Chad Kroeger Marriage Rumors Are False By Petra Halbur
Recent reports that Avril Lavigne and Chad Kroeger tied the knot in Southern France last Saturday have been proven false. According to People, misinformation spread after E! News mistakenly quoted a source stating that the wedding had taken place over the weekend. Daily Mail also took CEO Mike Heller’s tweet, “I’m in south of France about to see my little Rock star #avril get married I am so happy to be part of this special celebration,” out of context and concluded that the wedding had already taken place. It has since been confirmed that, while Lavigne and Kroeger do, indeed, have imminent wedding plans, the wedding was not held on Saturday, June 29.
What are some ways to plan a surprise wedding?
Cupid’s Advice:
Staging a surprise wedding will certainly make your nuptials memorable. However, keeping your wedding a secret until the day of the celebration is no easy matter. Cupid has some advice: 1. Announce the engagement: While a surprise wedding can be a lot of fun and a wonderful success, don’t hide your engagement from your friends and family. Doing so will make the sudden wedding announcement all the more jolting. Instead, let the people in your life know that you and your partner plan to marry, but don’t let on that you’ve set a date.
2. Keep it casual: For the sake of secrecy, you’re going to have to keep your wedding arrangements simple. Suspicions are bound to arise if it gets out that you and your partner are touring churches or other opulent wedding sites. Keep the decorations and locations as casual as possible to ensure that your surprise wedding really is, well, a surprise.
3. Inform those closest to you: While acquaintances should be delighted by the surprise, close friends and family are likely to feel betrayed once they learn that you withheld weeks or months of wedding preparation from them. Take your closest (and most trustworthy) relations aside and let them in on the secret. Besides, their assistance will ease the stress of planning a wedding.

Celebrity News: Avril Lavigne Plans to Unveil Surprises at Her Wedding to Chad Kroeger By Andrea Surujnauth
According to People, Avril Lavigne opened up to Ryan Seacrest about her wedding plans. Apparently the groom, Nickelback’s Chad Kroeger, is in the dark about certain details of the upcoming big day. “It’s going to be quite spectacular, and there’s a theme to it,” Lavigne shares with On-Air with Ryan Seacrest. “We’re going pretty big, but Chad doesn’t even know everything.” She spilled one of her secrets to Ryan as Kroeger looked on with surprise, “I’m going to take the lyrics from the sheet music from one of our songs and wrap it around the wedding cake.” When asked about their engagement, Lavinge talks about the meaningful proposal, “I had been making this scrapbook of my time in the studio. I walk over and he had taken a photo of himself holding the ring box and put the Polaroid in my scrapbook. Because I had stickers everywhere he put in ‘Will you marry me?’ It was really romantic and kind of made sense.” Kroeger proposed to Lavigne with a 14-carat diamond ring.
How do you incorporate a theme in your wedding?
Cupid’s Advice:
You have the perfect theme in mind, but how do you incorporate it into your wedding? Cupid has some ways that you can spice up your wedding with your favorite theme:
1. Venue: Choose a venue that matches with the theme you have in mind. If you want your theme to be an exotic getaway, go for a beach wedding. If you want a winter wonderland theme, a nice cabin in the mountains could be a great choice for you.
2. Cake: Get your wedding cake involved with your wedding theme. If you want that summer exotic getaway feel, a cake with colorful hibiscus flowers would go perfectly with your beach venue.
3. Wardrobe: If you want a fairytale wedding, you may want to dress up with a cinderalla-like ball gown. If you want that beach theme wedding, go for something more natural like a more tightfitted gown and flowers in your hair instead of a veil.

Leaving Your Mark: Celebs Who Profess Their Love with Tattoos
By Nic Baird
The rich and famous get tattoos for the same reasons as everyone else: They’re about self-expression and an unchanging reminder in a changing life. A celebrity’s brand is their image, and that’s often something to consider when deciding between Mike Tyson’s tribal face design or Drew Barrymore’s navel butterfly. While we common folk might get a little attention for a bold new tat, it doesn’t compare to the celebrity news created by famous new ink. Here are some of the reasons celebs get tattoos. For the most part, they’re not that different from anyone else! Celebs And Their Ink
1. Self-expression: Maybe our expectations of rock stars like Amy Winehouse push artists to mark themselves as such. Music superstars seem like credible artists with some eye- catching body art. Rock Of Love 2 runner-up Daisy de la Hoya was a human canvas. Her iconic three-quarter sleeve led to her own dating spin-off show and attracted the attention of heavily painted rocker Tommy Lee. The bottom line is that whether it’s for the fans or for themselves, real rock stars get ink.

2. Proof of change: Miley Cyrus went under the needle again last month to get a Teddy Roosevelt quote on her wrist. She may be trying to remind us that she isn’t 14-year-old Hannah Montana anymore but instead a more serious — or at least more tattooed — adult celeb. Actress Angelina Jolie, who seems to be the lead celebrity spokesperson for tattoos, described them to USA Today as “something permanent when you’ve made a self- discovery, or something you’ve come to a conclusion about.” Just as a serial killer might etch the names of victims into his skin, you can record important life events by marking the occasion on your body. Jolie takes this to a whole new level.
3. Memory makers: Fond memories and self-discovery inspired Jolie to collect at least 14 tattoos over the years. Her body is a map of her life. A Buddhist Pali incantation to protect her adopted Cambodian child sits on her left shoulder blade. All six of her children have a place beside it on her shoulder where geographical coordinates represent their scattered birthplaces. Jolie says she uses body art to remember the good times. When it comes to relationships and love, a lot of celebrities are guilty of this celebratory use of ink. Tattoos For Celebrity Couples
4. For love: In fact, Jolie’s infectious love of tattoos has spread to husband Brad Pitt. He’s been marked with his celebrity loves’ birthday in Khmer script on his chest. Thankfully, tattoos are not really all that permanent for those who can afford to get them removed. Jolie knows this because she was able to laser off three pieces of Billy Bob Thornton memorabilia and a Japanese symbol on her arm she had shared with Johnny Lee Miller. She also covered several others; after all, not everyone is comfortable sporting memories of their celebrity exes! Rocker Avril Lavigne shares four matching tats with her former boyfriend, reality TV’s Brody Jenner, including his name under her right breast. And she’s still hanging on to two with ex-husband Deryck Whibley of Sum 41, despite being engaged to Nickelback’s Chad Kroeger.
Related Link: Angelina Jolie’s Tattoo Is ‘for Brad’
5. Brand billboard: While it’s clear that celebs mostly get tattoos for all the usual, relatable reasons, there are exceptions. Pop icon Lady Gaga is blurring the line between self-expression and self-marketing. Recently, she gave her nearly 29 million Twitter followers and 53 million Facebook fans a look at her tenth tattoo. A picture showed ARTPOP printed along her wrist, which was also revealed as the title of her upcoming album. The confidence is admirable at the very least.
The only problem after getting inked up is regret. People change, but tattoos don’t. It seems ironic to commemorate something as fleeting as a celebrity couple with something as lasting as a tattoo. But artists at every level have always been attracted to body art. For Gaga’s sake though, ARTPOP better not bomb.

By Matt Fuller
Sometimes, and your date may not even realize it, their bad habits could be unknowingly ruining your time together. If you know you have some undesirable habits, make sure you keep these in check on a first date. Fancy dating a girl whose eyes looked like a raccoon? Well, it’s called makeup over-kill. It might suit Avril Lavigne, but to the ordinary person, over- doing the makeup smells of insecurity and desperation. Here are a few more dating terminators that you may want to take into consideration before you make a fool of yourself on your next date:
1. Being late. It seems like this wouldn’t need to be mentioned, but you’d be surprised. Turning up late especially on the first date is just uncool. If you get off on the wrong foot at the beginning, chances are you’ll be fighting an uphill battle the entire date. Show a little respect!

2. Remember to close your mouth. There’s something quite repulsive about someone who can’t close their mouth. All they do is talk about themselves and their trail of life’s mishaps. It might be a sign of first date jitters, or they might just have an ego the size of Times Square. So please, let there be some balance in the chit-chat.

3. Your wondering eye. The thing is, if you’re on a date, your eyes need to be on the other person. If you get caught perving on the waitress, your date will make a run for it before you even have time to say, “Wait!”
4. Don’t be a kiss and tell. This is one of the most common dating terminators. Whatever you do after your date, restrain the urge to go posting your laundry all over Facebook or Twitter. And your friends do not need status updates every five minutes throughout the date. Remember, social media is more powerful than many people realize. And besides that, who really cares what you had for dinner, or what clothes your date wore?
5. Being a Yes man. Having no opinions of your own tells your date you’re a bit wimpy and soft. If your date offers their thoughts about something they’re passionate about, have the balls to offer your own input, but respect their boundaries at the same time. One golden rule: avoid talking about religion and politics at all times on the first date, as it’s the biggest dating terminator of all.
6. Too serious. You’re not at a funeral, so have fun! A recent survey revealed that on average, laughter and good conversation rated far higher in the chemistry department than that of physical traits.

1. Be confident: You don’t want to be shy on your first meeting with the parents, or your actions may be misinterpreted. Engage them in conversation and have a response to things that they say. Keep eye contact when speaking to them, and you will look interested and confident.
2. Dress to impress: Don’t show up wearing some old baggy sweatpants or something with holes. You don’t need to wear a tuxedo or gown either, but you want to look presentable when you first meet your partner’s parents. A lot of a first impression has to do with the way you look, just like on a job interview. So, be polished and look nice for your first meeting.
3. Show love for your partner: All parents just want to know that their child is happy. If you love your partner: show it! Don’t do anything inappropriate, but smile and show your appreciation to your partner in front of his or her parents. It will make their parents much more open to you to see their child loves you back.

Avril Lavigne and Brody Jenner Spend Time Together After Split Sometimes it’s hard to move on after a breakup. Such is the case with Brody Jenner and Avril Lavigne who were seen hanging out together not even a month after their split. Often it can be hard for young couples to balance a career and a relationship. Jenner and Lavigne split amicably after two years due to busy schedules, but according to Usmagazine.com, “They still love each other and could get back together, but for now, he [Jenner] needed a break.”
Is hanging out after a breakup advisable?
Cupid’s Advice:
Sometimes it can be difficult to stop hanging out with someone after you’ve gone your separate ways. That said, is it a good idea to keep hanging out after the big split? Cupid has some advice: 1. Time: Sometimes it depends on how long you and your partner had been together before the breakup. If you had a lengthy relationship, it may be too difficult to avoid the old habits of the relationship, and you may need some separation before hanging out as friends.
2. How friendly: With some relationships, after the split all you can expect of each other is to remain civil. If you are expecting the relationship to be nearly identical to before the breakup, then you may be in for a rude awakening.
3. Ready to move on: You may only want to remain friends because you’re hoping for a reunion of sorts. According to sources, many expect Jenner and Lavigne to get back together, which may make their hanging out post-split easier to manage.

Avril Lavigne and Brody Jenner Speak Out Amidst Breakup Speculations Avril Lavigne and Brody Jenner may have gone their separate ways, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t Twitter pals.

I love her.” According to People, the singer/fashion designer replied on the social networking site with, “Luv u 2!!! @brodyjenner.”
How do you put forth a united front after a breakup?
Cupid’s Advice:
Just because you’ve broken up with your partner, doesn’t mean you can’t still be a team. If you have children together, for example, it’s best that you always present a united front:
1. Stay strong: People may expect you to turn against each other now that you’re broken up, but there’s nothing wrong with still being friends.
2. Compliment each other: You may not have been good together in a relationship, but that doesn’t mean you aren’t both great in your own ways.
3. Keep in touch: Keep up with what your ex-partner is up to, and wish them luck.

What Led to Avril Lavigne and Brody Jenner’s Split?
Avril Lavigne’s love life is now much more complicated. The singer and Brody Jenner reportedly split last week after nearly two years together, reports UsMagazine.com. “It was mutual, but Brody really broke up with her,” said a source. “He told her he was tired of always being her plus-one, and always going on tour with her.” Lavigne is currently planning an upcoming tour in Asia. “[Jenner] said he needs a career of his own again, and he didn’t want to go on the tour. Avril didn’t like that. Brody said, “I need to stay in L.A. and get back into TV, either scripted or reality. But I feel like a loser.”
What do you do if your partner isn’t achieving success in their career?
Cupid’s Advice:
Encouraging your partner is tough, especially when your successes outweigh their own. Here are a few ways to handle your partner’s faltering career:
1. Be supportive: If you offer tactful and sincere advice, your partner will appreciate your efforts. Be cautious not to belittle your partner’s struggles.
2. Watch your words: If you have a particularly good day at work, be careful what you say. It’s okay to tell your partner about your successes every once in a while, but sharing your excitement too frequently will come across as bragging.
3. Offer to help: If your partner’s lack of success at work is due to issues that can easily be fixed, offer to help. Spell- check your partner’s latest presentation or forward some necessary emails. Hopefully, you will be able to get some work done and bond.

What are some ways to tell it’s time to break up with your partner after a long-term relationship?
Cupid’s Advice:
After long time dating, you may find yourself questioning the relationship. Here are some ways to know if you need to break-up or should hang in there:
1. Company: If you are annoyed or unhappy when you spend quality time with your partner, it may be time to move on.

Does your parents’ approval of your partner matter? Cupid’s Advice: As much as we sometimes can’t stand the nagging voices and opinions of our parents, deep down most of us care about what they have to say about our significant others. Cupid has some theories on why that is:
1. Honesty: As open and honest as you feel your friends are, nobody in this world will break the truth down for you like the people that have known you the longest — your parents.
2. They know everything about you: Your parents have seen you through the good, the bad and the ugly. Who better to know who is perfect for you than the people that know the most about you?
3. They truly want the best for you: Although it may be hard to see sometimes, your parents sincerely want what’s best for you. They want you to be happy. So, don’t forget that when they’re giving their opinions, it’s always with the best intentions.

How friendly should you be with your partner’s ex?
Cupid’s Advice:
While it might seem difficult to befriend the person who let your partner go, there might be some benefits to being friendly with your boo’s ex. Cupid has some tips on exactly how friendly you should be: 1. Watch and learn: Use your sweetie’s relationship with his or her ex as a guide to show you how friendly to be. It won’t do any good to become best friends with the person your partner swore to never talk to again.
2. Don’t get discouraged: Befriending your mate’s former flame provides a great opportunity to commiserate about your partner’s bad habits and stupid jokes. But don’t let the ex poison your mind when they talk about your partner’s role in the failure of their relationship. Every relationship is different, and history doesn’t always have to repeat itself.
3. Keep a safe distance: An ex may befriend you or your partner because they still have some leftover feelings for your beau. Make sure to keep them at arm’s length, and learn their true intentions before being too welcoming.
