Hollywoodlife.com says Brad Pitt is starting to date again. A source tells the website, “Friends have set him up, that’s really the only way he can meet anyone because he’s not going on dating sites or hitting the bar scene. Nothing serious has come from it yet, but he seems a lot more open to the idea of having someone special in his life again, which is a big step. His divorce has been very painful, but he’s done a lot of healing and really seems to be in a much better space.''
A source tells In Touch Weekly Magazine, “Brad decided that he is not interested in a committed relationship at the moment. He doesn’t want to step out at hot spots and get photographed. He is tired of being judged for every move he makes. He still has no interest in settling down and he has the best of both worlds right now.''

Marca magazine, citing The Daily Mail, says Jennifer Lopez's first husband, Ojani Noa, doesn't believe her marriage to Ben Affleck will last. He is quoted by the news outlets as saying, "I wish her and Ben the best, but I'm not convinced it will last. I think she's someone who will be married seven or eight times. I can't see her ever settling down with one person. She pushes herself to constantly go forward in her professional life, which is why she's had a three-decade career, but she also moves on in her private life. She went from Jen to being J-Lo, this big business bringing in millions. She had all these new people around her, all wanting to make money off her. I would call and an assistant would say 'Sorry, she's not available'. We wanted kids, we discussed having kids, then she told me she couldn't have a baby because it would interfere with her career. Our whole life became a lie."

Dear Fonseca
I recently met a guy, who I am interested in. I told my friends I want to ask him out. Half of my girlfriend's said I should wait until he asks me out. They say if I do ask him out it may give him the idea that I want to hook up. My other friends say asking him out shows that I am confident and taking the lead. Which is it? Should I ask him out or not?
