People try harder until they’re married and then you see a lot of relationships fall apart because it’s the last step.

- Taylor Swift has a similar view on things: “I actually do not have a boyfriend. I’m completely single,” Swift says, “I think meeting someone in that way is a worry for anyone in my position. You meet someone and you can’t help but be worried that they just want to date the person they see on TV.
They are not really bothered about the real person. I think that’s a curse for any relationship. But I’m not worried. It’s not my big goal in life to get hitched and have a family. If I find someone really awesome I will think about it then.” [ShowbizSpy] - Kate Moss threw a fit when she realized she had to wait in line for the bathroom at a club. “She barged into the ladies and when she realised there were no cubicles free she starting kicking one of the doors, shouting: ‘Hurry up or I’ll kick the f***ing door down,'” says a source. “The female toilet attendant told her to calm down and offered her some tissue paper to use when it was her turn, but Kate threw it back at her, saying, ‘I don’t want any of your skanky toilet roll’.” [The Sun]

I think that’s the best type of love. Then when I finally told her she was like, ‘You’ve never spoken to me in my whole life. You’ve only spoken to me about three times and never said anything nice’.”[ShowbizSpy]

But I need to talk to people so badly about it, because it’s something that’s so confusing for me still. But I can’t. Because the only person really I can talk to would be her.” [Guardian]
