The selection of rubber boots on the market these days has expanded far and beyond the simple wellies you wore as a child. Our team dug into their closets to bring you their favourite rubber boots—a combination of tall and ankle-height pairs that they turn to in times of inclement Canadian weather. A chic, Chelsea-style boot that can easily make the transition from the city to the cottage is popular with many of our editors, while others opt for lace-up rubber boots to keep their foot from coming out when they get stuck in the muck. What they all have in common though are practicality and durability, which is a must for cottage use.

Meg Ryan’s ex-boyfriend says she’s ‘an angel’

Meg Ryan’s ex-boyfriend still thinks she’s ”an angel.”

The ‘You’ve Got Mail’ actress, who was previously married to Dennis Quaid and dated Russell Crowe, split from John Mellencamp in July after three years of dating, but he admits long periods apart was the main reason for their break-up and hasn’t ruled out a reconciliation.

The 62-year-old rocker told Howard Stern on his Sirius XM radio show: ”Meg is an angel. She was just an angel sent to me at the right time.

”We tried to have a relationship for three years–long distance. We’ll see what happens.”

Meg, 52, lives in Manhattan, New York with her adopted daughter Daisy, nine, while John lives in Bloomington, Indiana.

A source previously told PEOPLE magazine that the former couple ”had distance problems during the entire relationship and tried to make it work, but it wasn’t meant to be.”

Another source recently said: ”Meg enjoyed going to Bloomington with John to visit, but she isn’t going to pull up stakes from Manhattan, it’s where she made her life with her daughter.

”His heart is still in his native Indiana. He made a vow as a young man that he would never abandon it again after leaving twice before.”

Courteney Cox’s romantic birthday break

Courteney Cox is enjoying a ”romantic” 50th birthday vacation with Johnny McDaid.

The couple – who have been dating for around eight months – flew from Miami to Amanyara in Turks and Caicos on Saturday (06.14.14), and marked her special day on Sunday (06.15.14) by spending the afternoon in a ”secluded” part of the beach.

A source said: ”Courteney’s birthday was Sunday and they spent all afternoon on the beach. It was just the two of them and they found a secluded spot in a cove.

”It was very romantic and a beautiful setting for the afternoon. They shared a green cocktail and took a nap side by side. Courteney looked like there was nowhere else in the world she would rather be and just so happy to be doing what she was doing.”

According to the onlooker, 37-year-old Johnny was very attentive to his girlfriend – who has 10-year-old daughter Coco with ex-husband David Arquette – and the pair seemed ”totally in love”.

The insider continued to E! News: ”Johnny was doting on her, rubbing her leg and passing her a cold towel when she got hot. They seem very happy together and totally in love. After a long afternoon in the sun, they went back to their room for the night.”

Courteney Cox sparks engagement rumors

Courteney Cox has sparked rumors she is engaged to Johnny McDaid.

The former ‘Friends’ actress, who started dating the Snow Patrol frontman in September, was spotted wearing a huge diamond ring on her engagement finger as she strolled through Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) with the rocker on Sunday (04.20.14).

A source told Us Weekly magazine that their wedding will be ”sooner than later” and ”they are talking about having a child together.”

The 37-year-old Northern Irish singer’s close friend Ed Sheeran recently predicted that the couple, who moved in together last month in LA, would tie the knot in the future.

He said: ”I wouldn’t be surprised, but it’s still early days.

”They certainly enjoy each other’s company and feel very comfortable with each other.”

The 23-year-old British singer later said: ”I’m not sure that it’s public knowledge, so maybe I shouldn’t have said anything – but, yes, they’re already living together. Things are moving fast. He moved in and, judging by the last time I saw them, they couldn’t be happier.”

Courteney, 49, was previously married to David Arquette with whom she has a nine-year-old daughter, Coco, and her ex-husband has given her relationship with Johnny his seal of approval.

An insider said: ”What has really impressed Courteney is how good Johnny is with Coco.

”She didn’t let any other men near her daughter but he’s always out in their grounds playing sport with Coco and bonding with her.

”Also, David approves of him – they’ve met a few times and are even planning a dinner with David and his partner Christina. They’re all comfortable around each other. Johnny doesn’t feel at all awkward about it.”

Female ‘cougars’ do exist

It is not a myth. Women in their thirties and forties do have more sexual fantasies and energy and often turn to younger men. So says the journal Peronality and Individual Differences.

According to one study, these women, a.k.a ‘cougars’, do exist. Take these two show biz examples. Desperate Housewives Eva Longoria is married to basketball player Tony Parker who is seven years her junior. The same goes for Pussycat Dolls lead singer Nicole Scherzinger. She is dating Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton who is also seven years younger than her.

Psychologists at the University of Texas at Austin explain that the phenomenon is due to the fact that women in their thirties start to feel their biological ticking. This, in turn, influences their mating behaviour.

Researchers interviewed 900 women about their attitudes toward sex. They found that women between the ages of 27 to 45 have the best sex while women in their late thirties have the most fun.
