I’ve played professional matchmaker to a celebrity or two in my day, and let me tell you, finding a celeb a mate is tough work. Being in the limelight is a weird, weird thing and makes it really hard to find lasting love. There’s a reason most Hollywood marriages have the shelf life of a gallon of milk!
And while the celebrities I have set up were a fun challenge, nothing is more fun than playing matchmaker to stars in a make-believe way. Here are three celeb couples that I think would be fabulous together.

Men are simple creatures. Whereas women — we are so much more complicated. Seriously, explaining to my girls in the Millionaire’s Club how to catch a guy is so much easier than explaining women to guys. Men are just, well, boys who have grown up. And there’s nothing easier to figure out than boys. They like to eat, sleep and be flirted with. Well, maybe now it’s a little more complicated with video games, but come on, that doesn’t add much. Because men are so simple, pleasing them is simple. And flirting with them is a total breeze. Here are six time-tested sexy gestures that are sure to turn on your guy, whether he’s a crush, a boyfriend or your long-time love.

Look. I’m not going to pussyfoot around here. You know I think men should do the asking when it comes to dates. It’s just nature. Men are hunters, and facts are facts. Men like to go after what they want, and even the shyest guy in the whole wide world wants to be the one who asks his lady out. So, no, it’s not OK for women to ask men out.
But that doesn’t mean that I think women should sit around in bandage dresses and perfectly straightened hair, just waiting for a guy to come to them. Not at all! Women can do lots of initiating.
