The Giants’ Championship Ring Unveiled

Super Bowl rings are usually over the top and can sometimes be tacky…but in this case the Giants got a beautiful piece of artwork when it comes to these diamond  rings. The ring was designed by Tiffany & Co. and is tasteful…it does boasts a ton of diamonds but the effect is dazzling, not over the top.

The blue border around the ring is sapphire, and the football shaped diamonds are for the four championships the Giants have won.

Billy Bob Thornton Opens Up On Marriage With Angelina Jolie

Angelina Jolie met Billy Bob Thornton when he was engaged to Laura Dern, this did not stop her, of course, and the two started romance that lead to the alter. For two years the couple remained in seemingly wedding bliss, but soon came the break up and the divorce.

Many fans thought the reason for the break up was because she wanted to have kids, (since she adopted Maddox so soon after their seperation) but Thornton while speaking to Nightline, shares a different perpective:

“I always thought I was sort of Quasimodo or the Phantom Of The Opera. When I was with [Jolie] I think that really reached its heights. I blew it because I didn’t feel that I was good enough for her. When you’re in a relationship, any two celebrities, I think that puts on a lot of pressure. When Angie and I got married, during that time, I was more famous than she was to start with and then she becomes this big thing. It’s hard in these relationships … At some point, if you believe somebody’s too good for you, you’re going to mess it up.

We were supposedly vampires who had a dungeon and we drank blood. We didn’t even wear blood vials. She bought these clear lockets, they were little bitty things. Angie and I literally poked each other in the finger with a pin and rubbed a little bit of it on that locket. When we were apart, it was a symbolic thing to do.”

He also says he is supportive of her and Brad Pitt, a cheater backing up two other cheaters. No surprise there.

Is 50 Cent’s Girlfriend, Daphne Joy, Pregnant ?

The rapper 50 Cent who is currently in the hospital for reasons he has not made public… is going to be a father…at least thats what it looks like…

50 Cent who has been dating Daphne Joy for a little over a year and from what we saw, is totally infatuated with her, was spotted recently at an event. The skinny mini has retained her shape…except for her stomach. She wore a tight white dress which hides nothing of the bump…I think Ms.Joy is expecting a little 50.

Congrats to her, and we hope that the rapper makes a full recovery, hospitals can be so scary.

Kim Kardashian & Kanye West Unfazed & In Love

The world may think that this couple is a total fad, or just about money, but it seems like they could care less. Considering Kim K was so sensative to the whole wedding backlash I am surprised by how unfazed she seems with West.

The couple touched down in London yesterday and were spotted today leaving their hotel looking very fashionable and smitten. The two didn’t talk to photographers but were holding hands the whole time they were out.

I just can’t wrap my head around it…they can’t honestly be together…its has to be for the media… Kanye West is just too cool…and she is just too into herself. I know that West is not the most charming person in the universe…but I like him, he may have a huge ego, but he does not hide it. What you see is what you get, he is very self aware and that is much more than I can ever say for Kim K. Not to mention the man has talent.

Ginnifer Goodwin & Josh Dallas’ Real Life Romance Going Strong

Once A Upon A Time is one of ABC’s newest shows, it has been doing well in the ratings and now co-stars Ginnifer Goodwin and Josh Dallas have taken things to another level!

The couple started dating earlier this year and I have to say I am shocked by the change in Goodwin. This was an actress who rarely smiles, now all of a sudden she is all about it ear to ear! Finally! Maybe her ex-fiance was really not making her happy, luckily it looks Dallas is more than taking care of it. The two have been spotted all over the place and it looks like it is getting more and more serious by the day…Check out some pics of these two cuties in the height of their romance:

Ronald Reagan’s Marriage Advice Days Before Son’s Wedding

In June 1971, Ronald Reagan’s son Mike, age 26, was days aways from walking down the aisle, when he got this letter from his father. Prepare for some tears…its a beautiful letter from a father to his son about how this special woman, his new wife, should be treated.

Michael Reagan

Manhattan Beach, California

June 1971

Dear Mike:

Enclosed is the item I mentioned (with which goes a torn up IOU). I could stop here but I won’t.

You’ve heard all the jokes that have been rousted around by all the “unhappy marrieds” and cynics. Now, in case no one has suggested it, there is another viewpoint. You have entered into the most meaningful relationship there is in all human life. It can be whatever you decide to make it.

Some men feel their masculinity can only be proven if they play out in their own life all the locker-room stories, smugly confident that what a wife doesn’t know won’t hurt her. The truth is, somehow, way down inside, without her ever finding lipstick on the collar or catching a man in the flimsy excuse of where he was till three A.M., a wife does know, and with that knowing, some of the magic of this relationship disappears. There are more men griping about marriage who kicked the whole thing away themselves than there can ever be wives deserving of blame. There is an old law of physics that you can only get out of a thing as much as you put in it. The man who puts into the marriage only half of what he owns will get that out. Sure, there will be moments when you will see someone or think back to an earlier time and you will be challenged to see if you can still make the grade, but let me tell you how really great is the challenge of proving your masculinity and charm with one woman for the rest of your life. Any man can find a twerp here and there who will go along with cheating, and it doesn’t take all that much manhood. It does take quite a man to remain attractive and to be loved by a woman who has heard him snore, seen him unshaven, tended him while he was sick and washed his dirty underwear. Do that and keep her still feeling a warm glow and you will know some very beautiful music. If you truly love a girl, you shouldn’t ever want her to feel, when she sees you greet a secretary or a girl you both know, that humiliation of wondering if she was someone who caused you to be late coming home, nor should you want any other woman to be able to meet your wife and know she was smiling behind her eyes as she looked at her, the woman you love, remembering this was the woman you rejected even momentarily for her favors.

Mike, you know better than many what an unhappy home is and what it can do to others. Now you have a chance to make it come out the way it should. There is no greater happiness for a man than approaching a door at the end of a day knowing someone on the other side of that door is waiting for the sound of his footsteps.

Love,

Dad

P.S. You’ll never get in trouble if you say “I love you” at least once a day.
