Do celebs know everything? Of course not. But many of them definitely seem to know how to embrace life and truly live... even if that attitude gets them into trouble sometimes. When it comes to matters of the heart, celeb relationships are often thrust into the spotlight, whether those celebs like it or not, so they end up making a lot of statements about their personal life. Here are 13 of the best celeb advice about relationships. Of course, it's not always going to work for your own dating life, but it's definitely interesting and it works for them.
13 Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga never apologizes for her opinions and approach to life, which we love. The following quote isn't exactly advice but her message is loud and clear: "don't let any boyfriend bring you down, and if they do... you should be all about the revenge success. As she once said, I had a boyfriend who told me I’d never succeed, never be nominated for a Grammy, never have a hit song, and that he hoped I’d fail. I said to him, ‘Someday, when we’re not together, you won’t be able to order a cup of coffee at the f---king deli without hearing or seeing me.'" Looks like she was right.
12 Megan Fox
Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green split after 11 years together. We don't know all the details, but she has admitted that they didn't have much sex (at least after having their babies). Direct quote: "Brian doesn’t get any intimacy whatsoever." Got it. One of her tidbits of advice suggests that we should all be going after the older men of the world and not settling for anyone under 30: "Boys in their twenties are a waste of time. They have nothing to offer conversationally." Yeah, it definitely makes sense to pick an extraordinarily good conversationalist if there isn't going to be any intimacy.
11 Beyonce
Queen Beyonce has said she's only had two boyfriends and that she didn't go all the way with the first guy... so she probably lost her V-card to Jay-Z. They knew each forever before their regular phone calls transitioned into a real romance, so the girl knows something about that whole becoming friends first thing. She has said, "I truly believe that women should be financially independent from their men." She's also said, "I want my husband to be like my daddy." So there you go.
10 Drew Barrymore
Drew Barrymore has been engaged and married several times, all starting at the super young age of 16. Of her now soon-to-be ex-husband Will, she has said, "It was never really love at first sight. Will struck a lot of my pragmatic sides. He was someone who was always reachable on the phone, someone who was a classy human being. Someone who has this incredible blueprint of a family that I don't have. At the same time, what I love about him is that he embodies the power of choice. He chooses to be a good person every day." Oh well, let's hope the next one works out for her.
9 Mickey Rooney
Mickey Rooney was married eight times, so if anyone has an idea about what makes one work (or not), it would be him. He is known for the following quote on the topic: “Always get married in the morning. That way if it doesn't work out, you haven't wasted the whole day.” That's actually the best advice we've ever heard.
8 Alec Baldwin
The actor once hosted a web series called Alec Baldwin’s Love Ride and gave couples in cabs advice about relationships, so you know he's got stuff to say. After his messy divorce from Kim Basinger, he gave some advice: "Don't do it unless you look at that person and say, 'I can't get out of bed in the morning knowing that she's out there.' If you do get married, get a prenup. It's not about money at all. It's about having a document that states how you'll dissolve your marriage while you still have a shred of respect for each other."
7 Cher
Cher definitely has a super interesting dating history. She once dated Tom Cruise and ranked him within her top five best lovers, and she's also been with Val Kilmer and with women. Cher once dated a guy who worked at a bagel shop, which naturally garnered him the nickname from the media (wait for it) The Bagel Boy. Ouch. She was 18 years older and for a while they even lived together. Like we said, interesting. These days, she prefers to keep things quiet about who she's dating, but she'll still give out amazing words of wisdom like, "Men should be like Kleenex... soft, strong, disposable."
6 Zsa Zsa Gabor
Actress Zsa Zsa Gabor has been married nine times, which makes her a professional both at getting married... and getting divorced. Imagine how many guys she had to date to even find nine husbands. That makes us exhausted just thinking about. She's 99 now and her last marriage stuck. She does have some interesting views on relationships: “Getting divorced just because you don't love a man is almost as silly as getting married just because you do.”
5 Uma Thurman
The actress has had a variety of high-profile relationships with the likes of Andre Balazs and supposedly Quentin Tarantino. She's been married twice and engaged once more. She married Gary Oldman, then Ethan Hawke, and then got engaged to Arpad Busson... twice. Her two cents: "It is better to have a relationship with someone who cheats on you than with someone who does not flush the toilet." Something to consider, ladies.
4 Woody Allen
Woody Allen has written/directed/produced/acted in many movies about love, and of course, he has a super controversial marriage to Soon-Yi Previn, the adopted daughter of his former girlfriend. The following quote definitely sums up the ups and downs of love: "To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore to love is to suffer, not to love is to suffer. To suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy then is to suffer. But suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be unhappy one must love, or love to suffer, or suffer from too much happiness. I hope you're getting this down." Confused? That's okay.
3 Gwyneth Paltrow
Gwyneth Paltrow has a failed marriage under her belt, and has often turned to her parents for advice. The following advice comes from her late father, and it's pretty good stuff: "I used to say to my dad, 'How did you and Mom stay married for all this time?' and he'd say, 'Two things. Number one: You gotta have the same dreams. One person can't be daydreaming about walking down the street in Paris, the other person want to work in a coal mine. Number two: We never wanted to get divorced at the same time.'"
2 Jennifer Lopez
Jennifer Lopez kicks ass at everything while always looking flawless, so we're listening to any advice she has. Her idea is basically just do you and then whatever happens next will be a nice bonus: “We’re taught from very little that this fairytale guy is going to come along and he’s going to save you and he’s going to be on a white horse. And you’re going to live happily ever after... So you’re waiting for someone to bring you your happiness. It’s so twisted. You got to be happy on your own.”
1 Master P
The rapper is here to remind us that we all need and want love. Men are not exactly known for expressing their emotions, but we're all the same inside: "Everybody needs love. There are a lot of guys that you think are hard-core gangsters, but all these guys' weaknesses are women. Look at the movie Scarface. At the end of the day, all he wanted to do was to have kids with his woman."
