Shouldn't you be the one to decide when you're ready to become a woman? I've always thought so."

Heat magazine says some cast and crew from the TV show ''Friends'' are allegedly worried that Matthew Perry may reveal secrets about them during his press tour for his new memoir. A source tells the magazine, “The Friends cast are a private, tight crew, and have had this philosophy that whatever happens on the set needs to stay right there. If Matthew blows this code, they all agreed to follow, then they’ll be disappointed. Jen is relieved that he’s being kind towards her and how supportive she was back in the day, but she’s nervous he could delve into what she was going through with Brad. The word is that Matthew’s gone fairly easy on them in the memoir, but there’s the looming worry about what he’ll say on this tour, where the questions will be just as much about what happened off-set. The brutal reality is that people are going to want the juice over what went on behind the scenes at Central Perk, so Matthew is under pressure to deliver on that. In the build-up to this release, the cast has been talking it over and bracing themselves for how they’ll handle any drama Matthew may throw at them.''

Geo TV, citing Radar Online, says Jennifer Garner allegedly has no plans to spend the holidays with ex-husband Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez. A source tells the websites, "It's really been Jen's job for the last 15 years to engineer these perfect Thanksgivings for her kids. Ben and J Lo's marriage changes that dynamic. It meant so much for him to break bread together. But his place is with his wife, and J Lo calls the shots on everything important. Having both Jennifers under one roof is not a great idea when they are said to have a chilly relationship. The idea of them cooking together or giving warm and fuzzy speeches — it's not going to happen. The kids will get the best of both worlds. They'll shuttle between the two houses and have two holidays."

Dear Fonseca
I met my fiance in June. Got engaged during Labor Day weekend and now plan to marry next weekend. I thought I knew everything there was to know about my fiance until this past weekend. The Midterm elections are tomorrow. I learned on Saturday that my fiance and I support different parties and have very different views. We got into a heated argument and are still steaming. Is it possible that two people, who support different parties, can have a successful marriage? Should I go ahead with the wedding?
