Taylor Swift tells Rolling Stone magazine that her mother has been her rock throughout her career. "I talk to my mom a lot, because my mom is the one who’s seen everything. God, it takes so long to download somebody on the last 29 years of my life, and my mom has seen it all. She knows exactly where I’m coming from. And we talk endlessly.

I can do smashes. I could figure it out.’"
OK! magazine claims Alex Rodriguez is allegedly begging Jennifer Lopez not to dump him. A source tells the magazine, “In the beginning, it seemed that getting together with Jen was more of a business move for him. But clearly over time, he fell in love, although it should be pointed out that dating her was also the best career move for him ever. A-Rod is the one begging Jen to not end the engagement, J.Lo has literally changed his life. Because of Jennifer he is meeting with Presidents at inaugurations and walking red carpets at the Met ball. Alex was rich and famous before Jennifer, but now he is more famous than he has ever been — and richer, too. He is more powerful when he is attached to her, while Jennifer’s power wouldn’t diminish if he went away. They never officially broke up and talked about it but are still together.''
A source tells E! News, "They are trying to figure things out. He absolutely does not want to split up and has made many promises to try and keep her. He flew out to be with her and to prove to her how serious he is. They don't know what's going to happen. Untangling their lives, business dealings and families would be devastating to everyone involved."
A second source says, "She wants to give him a chance to make it right and really does love him."
A source tells Entertainment Tonight, "J.Lo and A-Rod are still engaged, but like all couples experience, they are having some difficulties. They had been going to therapy last year to help sort through things out in their relationship. Both J.Lo and A-Rod's kids definitely want them to work things out and want their parents to be happy, whatever that might entail Their kids have grown to be so close and they are all hoping for the best. They still love each other and remain together."

The National Enquirer claims Meghan Markle allegedly used her acting skills to portray the Royal family in a negative light during her interview with Oprah. A source tells the magazine, “Harry and Meghan tried to stack the deck. They carefully orchestrated their appearances to retaliate against Her Majesty, but it backfired. Never forget Meghan is an actress. She’s taught Harry well how to play the role of the poor, innocent victim facing off against the world – at least the royal world. They outraged the royals, especially Prince William, by invoking the brothers’ tragic mother, Princess Diana, in a bid for public sympathy.''
Meghan Markle's half-sister, Samantha, tells TMZ that she thinks Harry and Meghan are headed for a divorce. ''Maybe he’s already questioning it. He has to be if he has a functioning frontal lobe. He’s not 12. He’s got to have a sense of, ‘Oh, my God, everything you’ve said to me has been a lie.' I see the marriage ending in divorce unless they get extensive counseling and can agree to work on being honest, to work on apologies, to work on everyone that they’ve damaged in the course of this bull-in-a-china-shop two-year spiel. I mean, nothing about any of this has been honest, and the damage to the royals has been massive.''
