Uh-oh—did this woman who became the laughingstock of China because of her extremely specific demands for a potential husband realize that moving to New York City for her soul mate search might be ill advised? It seems the Big Apple is actually the United States' top city for unmarried women. WNYC looked at census data and spells it out: "34.8 percent of New York women 15 and over were never married. At the other end of the never married women spectrum was Wyoming, where only 20.7 percent of women have never married. Within New York City those statistics are higher than the state-wide. Never-married women make up 41.7 percent of the population, up from 38.7 percent in 2006. For men, the figures are even more dramatic: 46.7 percent have never been married, up from 43.4 percent in 2006." Singletons, UNITE! more ›

Nearly unrecognizable with his clothes on, former Congressman Anthony "Crotch Shot" Weiner was spotted in Manhattan yesterday with wife Huma Abedin. The couple had brunch at La Bottega in Chelsea—a waiter told the Daily News, "No one was really positive that it was him, but then we saw the name on the credit card and we were like, 'Wow, it's really him."

Newt Gingrich just can't catch a break. First this terribly rude gentleman accosts him about "insulting" Paul Ryan and the GOP's hilarious "Path to Prosperity," then it leaks out that he has a weird, expensive fetish for the prissiest jewelry ever. It's enough to drive a man into the arms of a younger, blonder lover! At a book signing yesterday a man "glitter bombed" Gingrich, telling him to "feel the rainbow, Newt! Stop the hate! Stop anti-gay politics!" Given the caliber of glitter that appears to have been used, it must have been really hard for Gingrich to refrain from immediately belting out "The Way We Were," and getting gay married on the spot. more ›

The couple, one male to female transgender and the other female to male, had been in a relationship for over a decade and attempted to wed in December 2009. But a worker at the City Clerk's Bronx office asked for their birth certificates because they didn't look like the sexes listed on their photo IDs, something Michael Silverman of the Transgender Legal Defense & Education Fund calls "illegal and unconstitutional." more ›

The anticipation of 2010 Census data has everyone crunching numbers about how we're living post-recession. And though we're faring better than most of the country, the results from the Census Bureau's 2009 American Community Survey show it's not pretty. For instance, the New York Times reports a rise in the number of New Yorkers living in apartments without kitchens, possibly proving that this whole foodie trend is just a paycheck away from dying. more ›

The terrifying world those Prop 8 supporters worried about has arrived—judges are forcing loving, straight couples into divorce!

He told the Times he "can’t imagine not being in this city," but his anger over the state's rejected same-sex marriage bill is enough for him to take his vows elsewhere.

With the country's renewed focus on immigration laws, feds have been stepping up their crackdown on folks getting married for Green Cards. However, more often it seems that legitimate couples are being accused of having sham marriages.
