We all know that boys will be boys, but when they are in a relationship, time with the guys becomes all the more important. Just as women need alone time with their friends, men desire the same interaction. But I've noticed a common theme when my girlfriends tell me about their significant others' nights out: they're constantly up to no good, drinking too much, staying out too late, and spending too much money.

If you tuned into
The Hills last night, you saw Heidi's sheepish attempt to make amends with Lauren. And even though Lauren has admitted to missing her ex BFF, it didn't seem like becoming friends again was high on her priority list, especially if Spencer remains in the picture. Since their relationship has been on the rocks — to say the least — for the past two years, Heidi got to fear that too much damage has been done to reconcile.

Last night on Late Night With Conan O'Brien, Jerry O'Connell spoke about his pregnant wife Rebecca Romijn and went a little too far when describing just how much she's grown! While he prefaced his statement by telling Rebecca he loved her, he pretty much dug himself in a hole by describing her belly as being "huge." Perhaps she didn't find his antics humorous, because
he issued a statement this morning apologizing and letting her and all of us know that he'll be coming home with flowers.

Dear Sugar,
I'm getting married in a few months, and I asked my four closest girl friends to be my bridesmaids. Three of the girls have been amazing, but I've been having a lot of issues with the last girl. They were kind enough to throw me a lovely bachelorette party, but they had a hard time settling on the date because the girl in question was always "busy."

Although it would be nice to think that the
world of rumors and talking behind someone’s back is left in the halls of our high schools, I think we all know that’s just not the case. In fact, most workplaces are rife with gossip as are many circles of friends. That said, not all gossip is bad; some rumors are simply a matter of misinformation.

Dear Sugar,
I'm getting married in December but I'm having a major flower girl dilemma. I had first asked my cousin's oldest daughter (she's 10) but when I recently visited her, she asked me if she could "pretty please be a junior bridesmaid" because she felt she was too old to be a flower girl. I said yes without thinking about who would replace her.

I've been seeing Adam casually for about three months. While we both have feelings for each other, our relationship is mostly physical, and we don't think of each other as a couple. About a month ago I met this new guy, Joe, who I felt immediately attracted to.

It's been a couple months since you've spent time with your core group of friends. You've missed recent get-togethers because you've been so busy with work, family issues, and planning your wedding. You feel really guilty which is why you've gone out of your way to make it to dinner tonight at one of your friend's houses.

Dear Sugar,
I've been going out with my boyfriend for about seven months. When we first met, one of the things that attracted me to him was his great sense of humor. He loved to poke fun at people and called them names - but the way he did it made it seem like it was all in good fun.
Dear Sugar--
I have a problem with a formerly close friend of mine and I am really not sure how to handle the situation. My friend has not been “herself” for the past year and a half—when she got engaged to her longtime live-in boyfriend (he’s great and they’re a good match) she became a stereotypical bridezilla – selfish, stressed out, not a very kind person. I put up with a lot of her not so nice behavior and chalked it up to wedding stress, thinking it would go away.
