Reese Witherspoon tied the knot a couple of Saturdays ago, and in the new issue of Elle UK the star admitted she's relieved. She's just not a dater. She explained: "I think dating is inherently complicated, anyway; what I do for a living makes it even more complicated. Let's just say I'm happy to not be dating. I met a wonderful man. I feel really, really lucky." Reese may think dating is naturally complicated, but it can also be fun. Some newly single women welcome the freedom to meet new men, and first dates can bring excitement, thanks to the potential to meet a great person, and at the very least the chance to get dressed up and go out on the town. Still, other women really prefer the comfort of a longtime partner and consider dating a necessary evil. What about you? Take our poll here.

At a WonderCon panel over the weekend, Hanna director Joe Wright spoke on how the thriller's unlikely heroine is the antithesis of other sexed-up action heroines (alluding specifically to Sucker Punch).

"The place of young women in society, and the continued sexual objectification of women - I find that whole culture terrifying and kind of disgusting really . . . I probably shouldn't say this, but I look at posters for recent films with girls kicking ass; there's one out at the moment, in bikinis and crop tops, and this is supposedly female empowerment, and that's bullsh*t. Female empowerment is not about sex; that's the point of female empowerment. It's about brains. So I was very keen to look at those issues with this movie, and Hanna exists outside of that."

When it comes to kickass heroines, do you agree with Wright that female empowering characters shouldn't be sexy? Or do you think sexy and strong can coexist?

1. Anything from the Iomoi website. I especially love the Lucite paperweights (I recently selected "urchin pattern sky" for a friend). I also enjoy the cupcake return address labels for birthday cards I send to friends.
2. A subscription to a magazine, from the New Yorker to Vanity Fair to UsWeekly. The gift that keeps on giving.
3. Kate Spade iPhone and BlackBerry cases. Live colorfully!
4. Liz Victory cosmetic cases and totes. Because you can't have too many totes - and every girl is in need of a fresh, non-stained travel case.
5. A custom yoga mat for those friends who have the gall to be healthy. My favorite color combo is pink and preppy.
6. A commissioned sketch or personalized note cards by Inslee. I adore her work so much that I have her sketches on the homepage of my website and also framed in my office.
7. A vintage toy or record. My publicist gave me a record player for Christmas, along with five of my favorite albums. And my best friend gave me the old-school

A study this week claimed that romance is the most common source of regret among women. I asked readers for their biggest love-life regret, and lots of you shared some mistakes, but also a healthy dose of perspective. Some said that a less-than-perfect past helped them learn how to communicate in a current relationships, or taught them important lessons about themselves. But along with that wise assessment, I uncovered some classic romantic regrets - from forgiving a cheater to leading a friend on - and I'm wondering just how common they are.

Liv and Steven Tyler enjoyed an evening of father-daughter bonding last night at the Super premiere. The cameras caught the pair engaging in some red carpet PDA. The hand-on-face closeness might induce a level of discomfort familiar from Angelina Jolie's infamous kiss with and profession of love for her brother at the 2000 Oscars. Still, touchy-feely relatives could argue anyone who objects to innocent family love is the one with the issues.

You might not take showing your affection this far, but is your family the type to hug, kiss, and maybe cuddle on the couch well past childhood? Or do you have a more hands-off relationship with your parents, siblings, and other family members? Take our poll here.
