The Rules

Jem: Okay! I don't know how it's possible, but there are some people out there who don't know how to play the celebrity husband game. How have they lived their lives up to this point?

I guess it makes sense that the rules would vary but Gidget and I have perfected the game and honed the rules over the course of our friendship.

1. Rule#1: Celebrities must be alive. This allows the players of the game to entertain fantasies of ACTUALLY being married to their desired celeb. Besides, who wants to be married to, or date, a dead person? True, there have been many, many dreamy men throughout history but who could pick among them? Rule #1 allows the players of the game to pick a guy without getting completely overwhelmed.

Rule# 2: Celebrities must be single. Again, this helps with the weeding out of cute celebs. Also, it allows players of the game to feel as though if they were to meet their intendeds, nothing would stand in their way. This rule can often be difficult to accept. My heart has been broken at least six times because of the aforementioned rule, but what is life (or games) without rules to which we must all adhere.

Dating does not count as married. Neither does engaged.

In cases where you don't know if your celebrity husband is married or not, ignorance is bliss. It's better not to know. If you don't know, he's not married.

*note* I pick such yummy, nice boys as my hubbies, that they are quick to settle down.

Rule# 3: When your celeb gets married, you must move on. See Rule# 2.

Rule#4: You cannot be married to the same celeb as your BFF. Much like real life, there is an all-important code that must be lived up to. You can't date the same guy as your BFF, you can't marry the same guy as your BFF (fantasy or not).

This does not mean that if some random girl, or a friend of a friend, likes your man, that he is no longer your man. You are under no obligation to random girls. He is YOUR man! If one of your friends liked a celeb before you even thought he was cute, back off and go find your own husband! Being the other woman is never nice!

Rule# 5: Don't be afraid to dump your husband if he does, or says, something you don't like. Unlike real husbands, celebs can be changed as often as your socks, if you like.
