In lieu of recent breakups... A Justin Ross Lee Exclusive on Love

In lieu of recent break ups, we decided to post a JRL exclusive on his break up with the RD. 

Here are a few questions that some readers were curious about, and As good as its guests was wondering as well. What really is going on with the most famous couple on facebook. It definitely was a newsfeed pop-up that got offices talking!

As good as its guests : Are you two really no longer an item?
Justin Ross Lee: Emails have been flooding my inbox asking me why the Rabbi’s Daughter and I ‘broke it off’ instead of ‘breaking the glass’. I’ve cited the reason for separation as irreconcilable differences do to Mark Zuckerberg’s creation. Did facebook end my relationship? Sometimes I had the feeling that if my iPhone ‘dinged’ with another facebook Mobile message the RD would grab it out of my hand and throw it into a large bowl of broth along with my Matzo Balls. She put up with a lot of my shtick. A great example of this would be my behavior documented in the facebook video “Jews on a Cruise”. She also dealt with my frequent traveling, photos with other women, and all the controversy that surrounds me. I commend her for it.

AGAIG: What the hell happened with you two in Ireland?
JRL: We broke up at the Shelbourne Hotel in Dublin, and then again at 38,000 feet “JewJetting” in our "Fuck You" seats over the Atlantic heading back to the States. It got pretty loud at cruising altitude. Even one of the dusty flight attendants tried to intervene to which I insisted if she were going to take any sides, it should be on the basis of whom has more preferred miles with the airline. She refilled my drink. I was quite upset about the relationship's final decent into the New York area. It's not easy Sitting Shiva over the Rabbi's Daughter. The RD was just the greatest girl and a truly beautiful person.

AGAIG:Why the break up with the RD?
JRL:RD and I just had a different 5 year plan and mine was not fair to her. In 5 years time she’d like to be married with children. In 5 years time I’d like to be dating a woman who’s married with children.

AGAIG: Have you kept in touch? Any chance of re-kindling the romance?
JRL:What most people didn’t know is that we lived together. She actually moved in to my apartment on our second date. We have kept in touch via phone/ text/ Jewish telepathy. But the one thing she hasn’t done is facebook messaged me….As far as any reconciliation Rosh Hashanah is still a schlep away. For now I can be seen wearing my “Shiksas are for Practice t-shirt”

AGAIG:Any ladies in line for the new title of the gf of the "Jewface of Facebook" ?
JRL: In Manhattan, Girlfriend’s are to Co-Op as Dating is to Renting. In today’s economy it is best to remain in a cash position. It just pays to rent.

*Note: One of our readers recently saw Justin popping bottles at Citrine with his former girlfriend from Paris, Adelheid (Heidi) Waumboldt.

AGAIG: Details on the reality show...will it be a male version of The City?
JRL: I’m working with a great production company and have signed a confidentiality clause which prohibits me from disclosing details, but I can say this: No reality show is real. There are scripts, reshoots and exaggerated expressions in every show in the market right now. Shows like “The City” appeal to people who haven’t left Oshkosh B Gosh having never experienced the life for themselves. If my show were to air in their market, they wouldn’t catch one of my jokes unless they reached up over their heads and stabbed my verbal kreplach with a pitchfork. If anyone outside our the Continental Bermuda triangle of NY, LA, and Miami are getting my jokes I’ll retire my mezuzah, fly COACH to Juneau and knock up another Palin daughter. The show is bound to be far more intelligent than anything branded “Reality”. I prefer to call it what it is: Unscripted.
AGAIG: Any other projects on the horizon?
JRL: I actually just turned one down an offer. VH1 approached me to be on a show called “Trophy Wife”. They wanted to fly me out to LA, where I’d live in a house and compete for the affection of some pinup girl who I’ve never heard of named Megan Hauserman. Before completely vetoing the idea, I showed the 60 page ironclad Viacom contract to my attorney contained excerpts such as “I acknowledge and understand that Producer will not be testing the bachelorette for any sexually transmitted diseases, mental illness, or any other disease or illnesses whatsoever.” My lawyer laughed out loud in his office at some of the terms wondering who in their right mind would sign something like this.

One project I am pleased to be involved with is a movie called “Trophy Kids” -a YaSu Media feature length film that is currently in preproduction.


AGAIG: What have you been doing since the break up?
JRL: Believe it or not, I’ve been working. Like most I feel underpaid, overworked and my boss is a tremendous prick. The difference is I work for myself. So to the person who sent that anonymous email about my facebook page that got that got me fired from my last job, thank you and stay tuned.

Before he had to go, he explained his upcoming date for the evening as such:

i mean, do trust- i'll be getting my workout... but it's like cheating on a chess match with a geriatric patient ( referencing how intelligent his date was)

Love Always, (At least you can depend on us)

It's called a break up because its broken

It seems as though the month of February has been more about break ups than love. Facebook is the obvious indicator of this trend, by notifying me that a good heap of my friends have a change in "relationship status..." including Facebook celeb Justin Ross Lee. This got me thinking a lot about relationships, the course they take, and break ups. 

A metaphor I once read that I felt is very appropriate goes like this:

You start off both driving brand new shiny cars. It's everything you ever dreamed of! You can't even believe that it's finally yours. Then somewhere down the road you start to drive at different speeds. He turns left, you turn right. Then one day CRASH! It came out of nowhere, you were completely blind sided. Then insurance comes along, and one of you decide to try your luck and get a NEW shiny car, while the other one is trying to repair the broken one. 

I think this is a great metaphor because the thing that we often forget is that, if only one of you is willing to "fix it" you may be left in the dust. 

Here's the good news... while fixing the car, you realize all that you are capable of. The thing's that you were able to stand through, the support you offered, and the thing's you expect from...well a car. The thing is, you and your ex no longer share the belief that it's worth fixing. Besides, who wants a car that even after repair still stalls when you try to shift gears.

I am not saying break ups are easy, they can be one of the hardest thing's to endure. It almost seems as though every nerve in your body has to feel that heartbreak. However, you have to stop and think that this person you were dating...they took a long look at you and the relationship, and thought "No, thanks. I'll try my luck elsewhere." This is the most painful part, and the most rewarding. Anyone who assesses you or your relationship as disposable is not worthy of your time or tears.

Okay, still not working....Well how about a to do/ not to do list to guide you through this!

DO:

1. Have a ladies night (or guys night)- there is something about being with your friends and not having to impress the opposite sex that feels wonderful.

2. Do hang out and meet new people - For girls that can mean a lacrosse party, for guys a strip club. Just remember in all cases, don't say I love you.

3. Workout! This is the time to focus on how sexy and amazing you are. Nothing screams I'm over you then flat abs this summer, plus working out makes you feel great!

4. Read "It's called a break up because it's broken" and write a journal

DON'T:

1. Eat a gallon of ice cream. He's not waiting for you at the bottom, and would you really want to date a guy named Ben or a guy named Jerry.

2. Watch every chick flick ever made. That is not real life! I hate to be this honest but Matthew McConaughey probably isn't going to ask you to dinner. Plus, that takes time away from you meeting that guy (or girl) that will treat you wonderful.

3. Check his facebook profile a million times, and look through old pictures. Go out and make new memories.

4. Read: How to get your lover back. Let's be honest... if he isn't going to do everything to get you back, then you don't want him! 

( I'll still include the link because some of you never listen)

There has got to be something wrong...

Above: Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer

Thursday evening, I wound up going to bar martignetti's ( www.barmartignetti.com) with Stanley Gale, Tom Travalja, and Jordan Leventhal. It ended up being an amazing night.
Before entering, Tom noticed pictures being taken across the street (and by pictures I mean 1 million paparazzi).
All the fuss happened to be Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer, on what looked like a date.
My only question was, why does everyone break up with Miss Aniston?
Vince Vaughn, Owen Wilson, Brad Pitt......to name a few. She seems down to earth and we can all admit shes beautiful. What is it?
xoxo Jessica
