10 Marriage Tips From A Wedding Reporter Who's Seen It All
Posted by Unknown on Tuesday, June 02, 2015
The author of The Real Thing: Lessons on Love and Life from a Wedding Reporter’s Notebook shares her best advice.
Ellen McCarthy interviewed more than 200 couples and dozens of relationship experts during the four years she spent writing about weddings and relationships for The Washington Post. Here's what she told BuzzFeed Life about what makes the strongest relationships work.

So many couples told me about the surprising rewards of sticking it out. Leila and Tony had been together for more than 30 years — struggling together through infertility, career changes, and the challenges that came with raising a daughter with severe disabilities. But, as Tony said, "We had the resolve to resolve everything that happened in our relationship." And Leila likes to tell younger women to hang in there. "Because if you can work through it, what you get on the other side is something you can't even imagine — it's very beautiful."
Real attention. The kind that can only happen when you unleash the death grip on your smartphone. Your spouse is changing every day. One groom, who'd been with his fiancée for five years, was amazed — and excited — to continually discover new aspects of her personality. "I'll probably keep learning about her for the rest of my life," he said. And, as Zen teacher John Tarrant put it, "Attention is the most basic form of love."

On social media earlier today bestselling author E L James announced that she will release a new version of her worldwide bestselling novel Fifty Shades of Grey—this time written from Christian Grey's point of view. The new book, titled Grey, will be published on June 18th —a date that devotees may remember as Christian's birthday.
Since the publication of in 2011, thousands of readers have written to James requesting Christian's POV. On the opening page of Grey: Fifty Shades of Grey as Told by Christian, James writes, "This book is dedicated to those readers who asked…and asked… and asked… and asked for this." In the new work, she will offer her fans the opportunity to see the world of Fifty Shades anew through the eyes of its intriguing and enigmatic protagonist.
"Christian is a complex character," said James, "and readers have always been fascinated by his desires and motivations, and his troubled past. Also, as anyone who has ever been in a relationship knows, there are two sides to every story. It's been a great pleasure to return to my happy place—writing, being with Christian and Ana in their universe, and working with the fantastic team at Vintage."

Here's What The Kids From "The Chronicles Of Narnia" Look Like Now
Posted by Unknown on Sunday, May 31, 2015
Ten years after the release of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, the Pevensies are all grown up!
Remember The Chronicles of Narnia? It's been almost 10 years since Disney released its film adaptation of C.S. Lewis' beloved classic.
The film tells the story of the four Pevensie siblings who discover a magical land in the back of an old wardrobe after being sent away as evacuees during the Second World War.

Of course, you remember! But have you ever found yourself wondering where those four siblings are now?
Don't worry. We've got you covered.

William Moseley as Peter Pevensie
Alert: Peter got hot. After being cast as the eldest Pevensie sibling in The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe at age 18, Moseley continued his lead role as Peter in the film's follow-up, Prince Caspian. He's had small roles in several movies since, including the series' final film, Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Now 28, he's starring as Prince Liam in The Royals alongside Elizabeth Hurley. The network picked up the show for a second season two months before its debut.

Anna Popplewell as Susan Pevensie
Anna has been busy since her days as Susan Pevensie, but you wouldn't know it from her IMDb page. She was accepted to Oxford University in 2007 to study English language and literature (filming for Prince Caspian had finished in September 2007, right before she started her undergraduate study), and she's had several roles on stage. Now 26, she has a starring role as Lola on Reign, which follows the early life of Mary, Queen of Scots. And she looks exactly like you've always imagined!

Mindy Kaling Is Looking For Close Female Friends
Posted by Unknown on Sunday, May 31, 2015
“The only thing I wanna do in the next five years is make a good, new, friend.”
Today Mindy Kaling and her BFF / former co-worker / future co-author and former (???????????) flame B.J. Novak took the stage at NYC's Book Con to talk about Mindy's upcoming book Why Not Me?
Stephanie Anderson / BuzzFeed
"In general, when you're in LA, the only people you meet are like, at your spin class, and you have to wonder - if a woman is going to seek you out at spin class what their motivations are, but if you're desperate for female friendship, as I am, that you're like 'okay, this isn't a weird situation!'"
"It's hard when you're an adult woman, because for the most part, people are more focused on finding their romantic mate, but I've found in the past four years that I've wanted a female friend so much more. It's much harder to find someone that you like, wanna talk to, than it is to find a man you wanna sleep with."
