Among this week’s breaking news-packed edition of OK! -um, La Lohan has a secret sister and Madge may be making out with A-Rod – we’ve also included “15 Tips for Getting (and keeping) a Guy.” Doing some further investigation, when I was on a recent Virgin America SuperFly Wednesday singles flight (basically Virgin America’s attempt to make the skies an alternative meet, mingle and dating destination), I caught up with former The Bachelor and The Bachelorette star Bob Guiney. I’ve gotta be honest, prior to meeting the two-time star of reality dating shows my expectations for finding him company of choice weren’t so high, except for the points he earned for being a member of the Band from TV (with Hugh Lorie, Greg Grunberg, Bonnie Somerville and James Denton). Thankfully, I was most pleasantly surprised to find over the course of our 15 hours en route to and hanging out in Las Vegas, that Bob is a blast to be around and a really fun, humble and dare I say witty and intelligent guy. Being on dating shows, twice, and now happily married to Rebecca Budig from All My Children, I asked him to help me out with some guys advice on dating. Here’s his Top Ten:

10 Don't be early. Seems desperate.

9. Don't be late. Seems desperate.

8. Try not to talk about your ex too much. Especially if it’s really nice. Be brief.

7. Don't ask the age old question, "boxers/briefs?" It’s just not funny!

6. Wear a scent - but don't BATHE in it! There can be too much of a good thing!

5. Just relax & enjoy! Don't put too much on it! In the end you may never see each other again/or you might - so just enjoy the moment.
4. Leave the blackberry in the purse. At least PRETEND like we're interesting!

3. Dress it down a little. And I guess by this, I mean don't wear your prom dress if we're heading out for Mexican!

2. Have some drinks (if you do) but not so many you forget our name... Or puke. Again, there can be too much of a good thing!

1. EAT. Come on!!! Have a meal! Nothing is sexier than a woman who loves food, And doesn't forget our name... And doesn't puke.

I have TMZ on in the background and just heard them describe the Verne Troyer's alleged sex tape as "Kind of like watching child birth in reverse."

Puffy’s having a BET Pre-party  for  Janelle Monae, one of his new artists, at the Zune House, a few blocks from my house. After several Hennessey sidecars my friends are texting me incessantly to come. Another friend is up in Laurel Canyon hanging out with friends of the Black Crowe’s Chris Robinson. She’s jamming out at a house that when you enter it looks like you stepped into 1975, tie die and all. One or two of the Maroon 5 guys might be there. If he’s around Chris Robinson may stop by as well. She asked me to drive up and join them. I’m home blogging with a glass of red wine – and couldn’t be more content.

I read in today’s NY Post a new college called The new York Reality TV School recently opened. It’s goal is to groom people for reality TV and give them a ‘competitive advantage.” Was this really necessary.

 

With awards season starting in full force today the Tropicana Pool at the Hotel Roosevelt was taken over by a BET Oasis Lounge pre-show party and spa. Waiting for my 30-minute massage I saw film and television star Mo’nique enjoying a pedicure. She commented on the heat. I agree, it was a hot one, but after seeing the inches of hair on her legs that have obviously never come in contact with any sort of razor or wax in her 41 years of life, I can recommend a way to get cooler.  When the “Mo’Nique’s Fat Chance” star was offered some cool clothes from party sponsor Akademiks, she said, “Do those come in a size Sexy?” Which, of course, they did.

 

I postponed my massage because I heard Jennifer Hudson was on her way, due at any minute. After FINALLY seeing “Sex and the City” last night I was eager to interrogate her about the cast. After a half hour a text was received from her people apologizing that Jennifer would be unable to make it due to a ‘personal problem.’ The same ‘people’ text she was getting in and car en route just minutes before. People.
