Torn
between two loves Kelsey who
makes $1.6 million an episode, allowed his 17-year-old daughter
to move out say sources. "Spencer,
Kelsey's daughter by an earlier marriage, and Camille have never
gotten along," revealed an insider. "They've both been
vying for his attention since Camille - a former playboy model -
came into Kelsey's life in 1996. But in the past year, the two women
locked horns as never before. "The situation
got out of control, and at the height of her anger; Spencer called
Camille a nasty name. Camille told Kelsey their house wasn't big
enough for the both of them." The choice
was made for Kelsey when his daughter moved out, on her own. Spencer's all
out rebellion began about the time her 47-year-old father and his
34-year-old wife began planning a family. "Spencer
is a bright girl and was doing fine in school. Then she fell in
with the dark occultish 'Goth' music movement," disclosed a
source close to the actor. "She was a beautiful blonde 17-year-old
- and then she dyed her hair black, wore gaudy black eye makeup
and wore all black clothing." The problem
got worse when little Mason Olivia Grammer was born in October 2001
- taking even more of Kelsey's attention away from his teenage daughter,
said the close source. On top of that,
Kelsey and Camille "didn't approve of Spencer's Goth boyfriend.
However, they relented last year and let him move in with her in
the guest house," said the close source. "But the
relations between Spencer and Camille continued to sour. Spencer
considered Camille a gold digger. And Camille felt Spencer was an
ungrateful, morose troublemaker. "Eventually,
push came to shove between the two Grammer women, and Spencer moved
off the property completely." While Kelsey
is generous with his high maintenance wife Camille, he is not the
same when it comes to Spencer, charges the close source. Right now there
is a ceasefire in the bitter feud. Spencer has picked up the pieces
of her life and moved clear across the country. The star's
spokesman said, "I have no knowledge of the situation."
Clothes Line Angel
dust We need caring
friends, some hope, some mirth, We need to protect
the mouse and the dove, How to begin
the changes we must? Those
secret signals This doesn't
mean you can get away with droning on about your passion for snails
and collection of Mongolian one-winged butterflies forever (content
is crucial later) but it does mean you need to get the body language
right straight away or they won't bother to stick around to find
out how fascinating you are. If you're not
feeling horribly self-conscious by now, you should be. To make you
completely paranoid, here's another frightening thought: before
you've even spoken to the person you've got your eye on, the way
you've walked and stood is more than 80% of their first impression
of you! We make what seems like outrageous snap judgements about
people but the fact is, almost every facet of our personality is
evident from our appearance, posture and the way we move. So, how do
we tell if our body is sending the right signals - and (more importantly)
how to read theirs? Let your body do the talking (and the flirting)
by learning to recognise... The 5 Secret
Signals that someone is flirting with you 1. The flirting
triangle When we look
at people we're not close to (in a business situation for instance),
our eyes make a zig-zag motion: we look from eye to eye and across
the bridge of the nose. With friends,
the look drops below eye level and moves into a triangle shape:
we look from eye to eye but also look down to include the nose and
mouth. Once we start
flirting, the triangle gets even bigger - it widens at the bottom
to include their good bits (like the body). The more intense the
flirting, the more intensely we'll look from one eye to eye - and
the more time we'll spend looking at their mouth. If someone
is watching your mouth while you're talking to them, you can't help
but think I wonder if they're imagining what it would be like to
kiss me. Which is usually exactly what they are thinking, if they're
looking intently at your mouth! 2. Mirroring This is what
separates a good flirt from a great flirt: nothing will bond you
more instantly or effectively than mirroring someone's behaviour.
This simply means you do whatever it is they do. If they lean forward
to tell you something intimate, you lean in to meet them. If they
sit back to take a sip of their drink and look you in the eye, you
take a sip of your drink and do the same. They sit with their chin
cupped in their hands, so do you. The theory
behind mirroring is that we like people who are like us. If someone
is doing what we're doing, we feel they're on the same level as
us and in the same mood as we are. Two no-no's with this one though:
first up, only mirror positive body language; secondly, capture
the spirit rather than imitating them like a chimpanzee at the zoo.
As a general rule, wait around 50 seconds before following their
gestures.) 3. The eyebrow
flash When we first
see someone we're attracted to, our eyebrows rise and fall. If they
fancy us back, they raise their eyebrows in return. Never noticed?
It's not surprising since the whole thing lasts about a fifth of
a second! We're not consciously aware of doing it, but it's a gesture
that is duplicated by every culture on earth. In fact, some experts
claim it's the most instantly recognised non-verbal sign of friendly
greeting in the world. The trick is
to watch for it when you meet someone new you fancy. Even better,
tell them you're interested on a subconscious level by extending
your eyebrow flash for up to one second - deliberately raise them
while catching their eye for full impact. 4. Pointing Sneak a peek
at what their feet and hands are doing - we tend to point toward
the person we're interested in. If we find someone attractive, we'll
often point at them subconsciously with our hands, arms, feet, legs,
toes. Again, it's
an unconscious indicator to make our intentions known. Unconsciously,
this is often picked up by the other person, without them really
knowing why. So if you've
got your eye on the hunk/hunkette in the corner, point your body
in their direction - even if you don't make eye contact, they'll
get the hint you're interested. 5. Blinking If someone
likes what they see, their pupil size increases and so does their
blink rate. If you want to up the odds in your favour, try increasing
the blink rate of the person you're talking to, by blinking more
yourself. If the person likes you, they'll unconsciously try to
match your blink rate to keep in sync with you, which in turn, makes
you both feel more attracted to each other! Now, one final
word before you go rushing off to practise all this. Before you
go, you must understand... The golden
rule of body language Don't ever
judge on one thing alone. Sitting with your arms crossed often means
you're protecting yourself emotionally and shutting out the other
person. But it might also mean you're freezing cold, you're having
a fat day or just spilt coffee all over your top! Don't jump
to conclusions, instead look for clusters of behaviour. If someone
has their arms crossed and they're frowning and leaning backward
to create as much space between you as possible and their lips are
pursed disapprovingly, it's a fairly safe bet they are on the defensive. Most body language
experts favour the 'Rule of Four' which means look for at least
four body language signals saying the same thing before totally
believing it. |
