Not able to let go of my family picture... it's been sad and lonely and frustrating... I've raised my kids alone in hope of a miracle. Well my miracle came and went. And came back and came back because he knew that I'd wake up one day and realise that I was waiting for nothing. I'm moving on... I feel like I'm finally free... I'm in love. I'm happy... I see the light... sounds dramatic but it's true.. I know some women can relate to this. My children are getting older. They know the truth and they are strong, smart kids. They love their Dad. They love their new Step-Dad who they've known for years…time will pass. Wounds will heal. Some people may never grow up. Actions speak louder than words... Watch!"

Four Desperate Housewives stars - Teri Hatcher, Eva Longoria, Marcia Cross and Nicollette Sheridan - are reportedly refusing to attend the Emmy ceremony next month , because they weren't nominated for any awards. The show was nominated for 15 Emmys in 2005, but received only one acting nomination this year - for Alfre Woodard as Best Supporting Actress In A Comedy. A source close to the actresses tells the Los Angeles Times, "None of them are going. Felicity Huffman may go as a presenter because she won the lead actress Emmy last year and they usually have last year's winner present this year's award. But the rest of them are definitely not going. If you're not nominated, you really don't have a reason to go. It's a lot of prep work to get in shape, all made-up, pick gowns and dressed up to these things. It's exhausting. And if you're not up for an award and it's just going to be embarrassing why go?"

Former 'N Sync singer Lance Bass has sparked speculation he is homosexual and dating The Amazing Race reality TV star Reichen Lehmkuhl after the pair were spotted partying at gay bars together. Since the boy band leaped to fame in 1997, his bandmates Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez and Joey Fatone have been romantically linked to a host of female celebrities, but Bass' lovelife has remained low-key. The New York Post newspaper reported last week that Bass and Lehmkuhl - who won the 2003 prize in the Amazing Race with his former lover Chip Arndt - were together at gay bar Atlantic House in Provincetown, Massachusetts. Kevin Naff, managing editor of leading gay and lesbian newspaper The Washington Blade, tells ABC News, "Perhaps the Post is not outright saying Lance is gay. But by implication, we can all easily connect the dots." Naff says several bloggers on the newspaper's website have spotted Bass at a series of parties in Provincetown, a seaside gay hotspot. He adds, "If privacy is what Lance wants, that's something that's easy to have. But if you're Lance Bass, and you're going to the gayest town on the gayest day of the year and going to gay parties, you have to expect something." Bass' spokeswoman Cindy Owen and Lehmkuhl's spokeswoman Mara Santino have refused to comment on the Post reports.
