Hollywood isn't dating...

..but it does seem to set an uneasy precedent for relationships for those who want the life to imitate art. Like Caiti alluded to in her posts, Hollywood relationships seem to compose of one or two common themes.

First of these "themes", if you will, is the relationship of opportunity. Just like Brad and Angelina, among others, their relationship was born of opportunity on a set. Brad's wife was away while he played off screen with what would turn out to be a new leading lady. Well, at least until the next picture films.

Second is that these "Hollywood types" seem to have relationships for the media. You have to wonder how many of these "marriages" and and other relationships aren't just hype machines for the next project. These are the ones you hear of breaking up at the drop of a hat.

There seems to be a little part of each one of us that wants our life to reflect some of what we see on the silver screen. However, the "Hollywood Marriage" of today is far from the ideal that our parents knew of marriage.

Also, did "Sex and the City" change the way that some think of relationships? Without a doubt. The show gave some women the idea that multiple partners and no commitments was a great way to live. That doesn't bode well in laying a good foundation for responsible REAL adult relationships further down the road.
