| Beauties and the bad-boy beasts
Kate Moss lurches from Pete Doherty into the arms of another unsuitable man. Sienna Miller falls for confirmed cheater Jude Law. Britney Spears marries white trash poster boy K-Fed. And Simone continues to return to Shane Warne, despite shenanigans with blow-up dolls, X-rated video footage and way too many text-sex affairs. So why does this happen? Why is it that so many girls wax lyrical over dating some bloke who refuses to return their calls, won't be caught dead meeting her folks, never buys her gifts (unless he wants something in return) and hardly remembers her name? Introducing the bad boy - aka the blokes beautiful women tend to fall hopelessly in love with. But why? There's a brilliant line in the recent Hollywood flick Perfect Stranger, starring Halle Berry, that poses that very same question.
DANGER LURKS IN TEEN DATING GAME
New York's teen dating scene is a harsh reality of abusive 11-year-olds, 15-year-old rapists, beatings with broomsticks, and girls forced into cocaine addiction at 16. City officials and parents were shocked and appalled last week by findings in the city Health Department's Teen Safety Report. The study gave a disturbing insight into New York's teenage dating violence, which has spiked by 40 percent since 1999. One out of 10 girls at New York high schools have been forced into sex, with reported rapes increasing by 34 percent. One in 10 New York teens have experienced physical violence at the hands of a partner, the study of 8,000 students from grades 9 to 12 found. "In public schools, the violence is way more up-front," said 17-year-old Alex Unger, a senior from an uptown school.
