Rosie O’Donnell is definitely not pining over ex Kelli Carpenter. The comedian revealed in November that her and long-time partner Kelli had broken up and Kelli had moved out 2 years before. Now, O’Donnell is dating Texas-based artist Tracy Kachtick-Anders, People.com has confirmed with O’Donnell’s rep. The pair was spotted walking hand-in-hand in Miami Beach on Tuesday. When PEOPLE spoke with O’Donnell last month, she said that she was indeed “not” single.
Kachtick-Anders is active in lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender parenting and adoption issues. She also has launched the Open Arms Campaign, a non-profit organization to recruit and foster adoptive families that targets the LGBT community. Kachtick-Anders has six children herself, five that are adopted.

I recently stumbled upon Almay makeup products, and they easily won me over. For those of you who have never heard of Almay, they bring a unique concept and great products to their consumers. Almay was started in 1931, when Fanny May Woititz grew tired of thick cosmetics infused with powerful and strong pigments and chemicals. Her husband, a professional chemist, began experimenting with her makeup ingredients. Between Alfred Woititz and dermatologist Dr. Marion Sulzberger, they developed a makeup that was lightweight and gentle enough for Fanny May to wear on a daily basis.
Since being established in 1931, Almay has been the first hypoallergenic cosmetics brand, the first brand to make 100% fragrance-free products and to disclose all ingredients used, the first brand to perform safety testing for allergy and irritation, the first brand to formulate for contact lens wearers and, you guessed it, the first brand to create cosmetic regimens for specific skin types (http://www.almay.com/pg/whyalmay/history.aspx?catid=100004&catnm=WhyAlmay&subid=2&subnm=History&nav=about-almay). Wondering how Almay got its name? by combing the names of the two founder- Fanny May and Alfred!
I started wearing Almay foundation about six months ago, after stumbling upon it at my local Walgreens. I was drawn to it because of the Smart Shade/Smart Balance Foundation. It said that the foundation came out white, but once you started to rub it on your skin, the sensing microbeads would instantly adjust and match to your tone. It also came with a free Smart Shade Blush, so I thought I’d give it a try. Now, I won’t wear any other foundation. I never have to worry about lines or my foundation not matching the color of my face, because it blends in perfectly. If you have oily skin, the smart balance works just as well, keeping oily areas shine-free throughout the day.
Almay has plenty of great products for your face, eyes, lips, and even face and eye makeup removers. I think the prices are great, and there always seems to be specials or the ability to get coupons online. Just yesterday I bought the foundation for $13.99 and got a free concealer- saving me almost $9! Keep Almay in mind if you are looking for a new makeup line to go with, and be sure to check out some of my favorite products below!

The Taylor’s are no more. People.com has reported that the never really confirmed romance between Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner has apparently ended. A source close to Swift said, “It was never a big deal to begin with. The media made way more out of it than it is. They went out on a few dates and realized this was just not going anywhere.” A source close to Lautner backs up that by saying, “They became good friends and then went out a few times, but he lives in L.A. and she lives in Nashville and their busy schedules kept it from becoming more than it was.”
The pair met while filming Valentine’s Day and had been spending time together since October. They had been seen out together on dates- attending a hockey game, grabbing frozen yogurt together, and Lautner,17, had attended two of Swift’s concert in Chicago. Reps for both stars had no comment.

Getting a good night’s sleep can seem just impossible sometimes. I know there are numerous nights that I have laid awake, wondering why in the world I cannot find sleep. Usually, the answers can be quite obvious. Shape.com listed four ways to ensure you sleep better at night; try to practice these each night for longer beauty sleep!
1. Time Your Meals. You should try to eat your last meal about 2 hours before hitting the sack. Chemicals in certain foods can keep you awake and active for hours, but if you are craving something closer to your bedtime, try a snack whole grain or light sugar.
2. Develop a Routine. Trying to maintain a sleep schedule is one of the best ways to routinely fall asleep and wake up when you want. Try to stick to the schedule on weekends or other days where you might not have to get up for work, it will help you in the long run.
3. Cherish Your Bed. Your bed should be for sleeping only, try to refrain from doing work while sitting in bed.
4. Skip Naps. If you do need to take an afternoon nap, keep it under 30 minutes. Anything longer can seriously throw off your sleeping patterns and keep you awake at night.

Charlie Sheen spent his Christmas in jail following a scuffle with wife Brooke Meuller. Sheen, 44, is being held at the Pitkin County Colorado Jail in Aspen, Colorado. According to People.com, the Two and a Half Men actor was booked for second-degree assault, menacing and criminal mischief. Stan Rosenfield, Sheen’s rep, released this statement, “Do not be mislead by appearance. Appearance and reality can be as different as night and day. It would benefit everyone not to jump to any conclusion.” Sheen is currently being held without bond and he will remain in jail until his court appearance due to Colorado law which mandates a protection order between those arrested for domestic violence and their victims.
