Sarah JacobyOctober 9, 2014, 8:30 PMIllustrated by Sydney Hass.A recent study suggests that a more expensive engagement ring could lead to a divorce, and the media has certainly run away with that headline. But, what's actually happening here is probably a little more complicated.AdvertisementThe study in question was published last month on the Social Science Research Network by folks at Emory University. It surveyed 3,3150 heterosexual U.S. residents about their first or current marriage. Participants were asked 40 questions about their nuptials, including their age, honeymoon, and wedding expenses. The results suggested that couples whose engagement ring cost was between $2,000 and $4,000 were more likely to end up divorced, compared to those whose rings rang in between $500 and $2,000.But, the statistics are a little bit messier than that. In bivariate analyses (looking at only two variables), the researchers found a slightly different effect: Couples whose rings were more than $8,000 actually had a lower risk for divorce, and those who didn't have a ring at all were more likely to divorce. Moncler Outlet So, this suggests that what you spend on an engagement ring might not really have all that much to do with the incredibly complex process that is divorce.And, this is just a correlation, which means, as usual, that there's not necessarily any causation. We don't know that a large rock was involved in any of these couples' divorce decisions. It could be that if you're the type of person who cares a lot about having an expensive ring, you might simply have high standards that, if unmet, could lead you to eventually divorce. It's also worth noting that this study sample wasn't nationally representative, so we could just be looking at a subset of the population, not widespread trends. And, the sample http://www.moncleronsales.com/ only included heterosexual couples, so there's that.In a previous study, researchers found that larger weddings (and, presumably, larger budgets) were actually correlated with happier marriages. So, maybe it's not that spending money on nuptials affects your marriage in the long-term. Maybe it's just how you spend that money — on a party or a rock.Sex & Relationships ? Wellness

"We shot Blair (Leighton Meester) at a cafe in front of the Eiffel Tower choosing pastries and wearing Chanel," says Gossip producer Stephanie Savage. "It doesn't get more iconic than that."

Thirteen years after getting a call from Vince Gill that changed her life, Ashley Monroe paid him back, starting off the musical tribute to the man named BMI Icon Moncler Outlet at the 2014 BMI Country Awards in Nashville Tuesday night.

"When I was 15 years http://www.moncleronsales.com/ old, Vince called me on the phone and asked if I wanted to get together to write with him," Monroe told PEOPLE moments after bringing Gill and hundreds of others to their feet with her plaintive rendition of his mournful classic "Whenever You Come Around."

"He invited me to meet him for breakfast the next day so we could talk first. I was so nervous and excited but when I hung up, I realized I had forgotten to tell him I didn't have a driver's license yet," she recalled. "I had to call him the next morning and ask him to pick me up. He did. And now he's producing my records!"

Let us take a trip back in time, back through the Me Decade and the Love Generation, back to a half-forgotten time of crew cuts and panty girdles and saddle shoes. Back to that fun decade, the '50s, when Ike was President and Rocky Marciano was champ and heaven was a Buick with the top down. Naah, let's go instead to Ed Debevic's diner in Beverly Hills, where the  at least a designer's version of once again in all their Naugahydian glory.

For instance, there's the ock from the years when they still had the hang of it: Chantilly Lace, Splish Splash and Tutti Frutti, pounding out from primitive tabletop jukeboxes. And the http://www.moncleronsales.com/ waiters and waitresses look familiar uncool archetypes of that dear dead decade.

By tapping into the Moncler Jackets Outlet collective semiconscious of an entire generation, Ed Debevic's has become hotter than watching submarine races. Open only since May, it has already attracted big names. Tom Cruise threw a 25th-birthday party there for Emilio Estevez. Eddie Murphy likes the last booth on the right. Even Donna Rice has dined chez Debevic.

Debevic's is the brainchild of Chicago restaurateur Richard Melman, who opened the first Ed's in Phoenix four years ago. There are five of them now, the Beverly Hills branch being the newest. "I wanted to recapture the teenage years in a restaurant," says Melman, who is 45 and lived through the '50s at an impressionable age. "I wanted it to be real; I didn't just want it full of Elvis posters."
