In touch Weekly Magazine says Rihanna and ASAP Rocky may marry in Barbados. A source tells the magazine, “Rihanna and A$AP have been secretly flying to and from the island since then getting everything and everyone set up for it. Being a mom has changed Ri’s life for the better in every way. She and Rocky are totally in sync as parents and are loving the experience. It’s brought them so much closer as a couple. Ri wants a big family – she doesn’t see any need to hang around and feels ready now her body has fully healed and recovered from the delivery in mid-May. They planned on getting married a while back, but had to put it off a couple of times because they wanted to get through the pregnancy, then settle into raising their little guy for at least six months without any big distractions. Rihanna is aiming to be a mom to four kids by the time she’s 40. She hopes to have a little girl this time around – maybe even twins if she’s really lucky.”

I wanted to be myself again.”

It's kind of love with no labels. What's really cool is, it's open to everyone. You might just be interested in checking out a wider dating pool like I was. It covers a lot of the LGBTQIA+ spectrum, but I think even if you're straight you could use the app and have an amazing time. It's free and there's no age limit."

The Daily Mail says Antonio Muratore, from Milan, Italy, looks like Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson's twin. The 54-year-old even has the same tattoos as the former wrestling star.
Antonio says, ''It was about ten years ago when a friend first told me I looked like the Rock. Over the years people started to stop and ask me for pictures wherever I would go. It's been at a hotel, in restaurants, on the beach - it happens continuously. Once someone followed me down the road for 15 minutes. That was a bit stressful. But normally I'm always happy to take a picture. I feel very lucky to look like him because he is a great person, a champion in sport and in life. When I am on the beach and people see my tattoos, everyone stops me and wants a picture. Or when I am wearing my sunglasses. It happens continuously. I get treated like a celebrity all the way through summer. It's an incredible situation to look like him. In general I'm quite a private person and I don't like a lot of attention - but I never tire of this because it makes people happy. I would do anything to meet him one day.''

Elvis belonged to all of you and I cherish my life with him.''

Sweet Tooth = Stroke

Dear Fonseca
My husband brought home a dozen roses last night for Valentine's Day. They looked and smelled beautiful. As I was placing them in a vase I noticed that he removed the price tag. What he forgot to remove was the sticker from where he bought the roses. My elation turned to frustration, anger and disappointment after I saw that he purchased the flowers from a gas station. The least he could do was buy the flowers from a real florist. Buying them from a gas station makes me feel cheap, worthless and unappreciated. As I laid in bed last night I tried to convince myself that it doesn't matter where the flowers came from. Should I be upset? Does it matter that he purchased the flowers from a gas station? My self-esteem is taking a hit. Is this all I'm worth? Do I have a right to be mad?
