Happy Valentine's Day! Sure, we know it's a silly holiday designed to pressure couples and single people into feeling depressed and dissatisfied but we'd like to inspire you to show a little self-love today. Spoil yourself with two desserts at lunch, sneak in a glass of champagne if possible, and end the day with a nice, hot bath and brandy. Whatever your lovelife, today's a good day to love yourself!

THE REBOUNDER
Drew's done it again, she's hooked it up with some pseudo rocker with a penchant for Hollywood honeys. This fetching young man is none other than Stroke's drummer Fabrizio Moretti. DB's laundry list of former rock star loves includes Hole guitarist Eric Erlandson and that hunk of burning love from Beverly Hills 90210, Jamie Walters. The oft engaged (and subsequently broken-hearted) Drew seems to venture onward after the end of each failed union, making her the poster girl for hope on this Valentines Day.
PS: A few weeks back we got the scoop that these two are engaged...remember, you heard it here first!

THE BAR HAS BEEN LOWERED
It is such a crying shame that we have dumb as rocks Evan Marriot (a.k.a. Joe Millionare) sitting front row at NY Fashion Week. For a dude who has to have a fake butler pick out his wares it's quite surprising to see him front and center at the Tommy Hilfiger show. It's simply a waste of a good seat. Some hard-working editor from Teen People probably had to be relinquished to fashion Siberia (the 2nd row) because of Evan's presence. Perhaps it's jealousy or just a disdain for Evan's generic being, but we find nothing about this appearance neat.
