A user's guide to rebound relationships
How to make a rebound fling work for you
You can barely turn a corner in 'Celebsville' without bumping into another rebound couple.
Pop offspring Daisy Lowe is the latest to go 'boing' into the arms of a rebound lover, according to the papers. Model Daisy doesn't hang about - she's reported to be back in the arms of ex-boyfriend Will Cameron, just days after splitting from lover Mark Ronson.
Then there's Rhys Ifans, pictured in the tabloids partying with three fillies just after splitting from Kimberly Stewart. Kim, you may remember, was Rhys's rebound girlfriend after Sienna Miller.
Other reported rebounders include newly-divorced Kym Marsh (ex-Ryder) with Jamie Lomas, and newly-divorced Michelle Heaton (ex-Scott Lee) with Hugh Hanley.
Meanwhile, US gossip paper The National Enquirer reports that Jennifer Aniston has been spotted with model/actor/20-something Matt Felker following her split from John Mayer. Some say that Felker invented the story for publicity. (Well, have you heard of him? Thought not.)
Even happily married Catherine Zeta-Jones is at it, though in her case it's for a movie: The Rebound comes out in 2009.
How to handle your own rebound romance
Rebound romances tend to be reported with more than a dollop of criticism. It's 'too soon', it's daft and it's doomed. We should mourn our lost love properly before getting back out there, goes the usual advice.
But rebound relationships can be a good thing, as long as you see them for what they are, and you're honest about your intentions. Here are some dos and don'ts on riding the rebound rollercoaster.
