RomanceBeat.com Finds Romance in Everything, from Celebrity Trysts to the Troubles of Downton Abbey's Lady Edity

RomanceBeat.com writers seek out the romantic angle in the news of the day.

2013-02-27

NEW YORK, NY, February 27, 2013 (Press-News.org) If love is in the air, you'll find it at RomanceBeat.com, a new blog that believes romance makes the world go 'round. RomanceBeat takes a decidedly romantic approach to everything from celebrity news, hot TV shows, romance novels, advice to readers and anything else that qualifies as pop culture.

Writer Ellie Reeve pokes into Kim Kardashian's taste in men, wondering in a recent article whether it's just a coincidence that her boyfriends have a remarkable physical resemblance. "Are We the Only Ones Who Think That Kanye West Looks Like Ray J's Older Brother?" Ms. Reeve asks. "Many of us seem to be attracted to the same guy...over and over. While the world watches, Kim's search for true love seems to be an ongoing saga. We're rooting for her to find her life's soul mate with current squeeze Kanye, with whom she's having a baby and who certainly seems to have the same entrepreneurial spark and slice of fame that Kim has achieved. Looking back on some of Kim's ex-boyfriends, however, we see a resemblance between at least two of them - Ray J and Kanye."

RomanceBeat also goes to bat for fictional characters when it feels they are getting a raw deal. Writer Reeve urges Downton Abbey scripters to lighten up on their treatment of the much-troubled character Lady Edith. Noting that Edith's parents are Lord and Lady Grantham, Reeve writes, "with cheerleaders like that, it's no wonder that Edith is getting a raw deal! We want this changed in Season 4 of the series because we're tired of her sad life. It's simply too much for one character. Here's a girl with a lot of gumption who also wants to find love. She's not bad looking and has a pleasant personality. Why is she being given such a hard time? She's endured enough tragic love stories for several characters."

A few days after Mindy McCready took her own life, RomanceBeat reported that "country music fans, family and friends are all talking about how much they'll miss" the singer. The story also dug up some little known facts about her romance with baseball great Roger Clemens and recalled her comments in the "Mindy McCready, Baseball Mistress" sex tape that Vivid Entertainment distributed (but withdrew from sale following her suicide out of respect for her). According to writer Love, McCready talked in the sex tape "about other lovers, including Dean (Superman/Clark Kent) Cain and country singer Alan Jackson. She also claimed that she became friendly with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and believes she 'could have had sex with him,' but declined the opportunity."

About RomanceBeat: RomanceBeat.com is a blog that finds the "pulse of romance" in pop culture. A team of experienced writers and reporters keeps its eye on celebrities and the little known, seeking to find the romantic theme in their daily activities.
