Valentine's Day:
Are you dreading Valentine's Day due to a romance gone wrong? Take heart --you're not alone! RadarOnline.com reports ETHLIE ANN VARE just released a new book called "Love Addict: Sex, Romance and Other Drugs" that features real-life tales of "love junkies." MARGARET CHO came clean and revealed she carried on a torrid affair with a man who had a live-in girlfriend. The comic felt like she was 15 during their encounters, but he ended things due to good, old-fashioned guilt. Margaret was so upset she couldn't eat and got through the split with a lot of help from Jameson Irish Whiskey and Merlot wine. (Lee)
