Singer Estelle and rapper Kanye West have been sweeping the music charts with their single "American Boy." This has started to circulate rumors as they have been spending quite a lot of time together.

Estelle claims that she has no interest in any kind of romance with Kanye as she is too close to the rapper to have that kind of liking for him.

Estell says, "We mostly spend our time comparing fashion. We hang out at the studio. We go to parties. He's a really nice guy." She goes on to say, "He's kind of like Uncle Kanye, which de-sexifies him. It's like, 'No that's incest, I can't do that.'"

Estelle and the rapper met when she boldly came up to him in LA restaurant Roscoe's, after which Kanye helped her bring her career back to life.

There may not be a spark between the two, but Estelle does confess Kanye is still quite attractive.

Estelle told Celebs On Sunday, "He's a great looking guy. He's got arrogance, but not that much. I like guys who are confident."

Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman were the comedian couple of Los Angeles. Their representatives recently confirmed that they are no longer together.

They were an item for about five years, the funny couple split a short while ago without giving reasons for their break-up.

Lewis Kay and Amy Zvi the rep's of Kimmel and Silverman gave their statement together, "Jimmy and Sarah are no longer dating… and will have no further comment."

In 2001 Hugh Hefner held a Comedy Central roast which is where the couple met. They have made several hilarious viral videos. Silverman launched a music video to "confess" her sins on Kimmel's late night show, where she brought her fake relationship with Matt Damon to light, the video was called, "I'm F*****g Matt Damon."

Of course, Kimmel got his revenge by releasing a similar satirical confessing where he admitted to having an affair with Damon's best buddy Ben Affleck.

Unfortunately, there will be fewer laughs after this break-up.

It has almost become normal thing to meet men online but it seems that many women are not using the ounce of caution they should when they meet these men in person.

Women will often chat with a man for months and then agree to meet them. However, this will have to change as there has been an increase of attacks on women who go on dates with their online "friends."

According to the Auckland Sexual Abuse Help Foundation, women that meet men online will chat with them for months gaining the feeling that they "know" the men. This is what leads to them letting their guard down when they do agree to meet them. The problem is that lately there have been some horrifying outcomes to these dates.

Crisis service manager Kate Brady Kean says, "The reality is that women don't really know their Internet dates. By removing their usual defences women are leaving themselves open to assault. A woman's first response is often: 'I can't believe he did this, he seemed like such a nice man.'"

The Auckland Sexual Abuse Help Foundation will be furthering it's research on the impact of Internet dating.

It's the crucial first few weeks that can make or break a relationship, some of your behaviour can decide on whether you keep that guy you really like.

There are certain things that a woman can do to scare a man away, which you should avoid at all costs.

Talking trash about your ex can be a real deal breaker, because he will think that you will talk about him the same way.

Do not get paranoid when he goes out on his first boy's night, believe him when he tells you he's just with his friends and don't send him text message after text message.

Trash talking other women to your man is a bad idea because it only shows how you lack confidence in yourself.

Forget about fishing for compliments will drive a man nuts, if he compliments you accept it as it is and do not look for more.

Especially in the first weeks you should absolutely avoid being clingy or possessive, in a fresh relationship you do not need to do everything together.

Last of all, no matter how great your friends are you should not force them on him, if your relationship lasts there will be plenty of time for him to get to know them.
