I have always dated married men, says Silprosa, Auntie boss Actress.

Auntie Boss actress Sandra Dacha, better known as Silprosa, says she has been in relationships with married men.  She explained that no single man has asked to date her.  "I have always dated married men. Single men have never approached me. Or they don't drive big machines," she said. In an interview, Sandra said she wants to date someone who’s not jealous after one of her exes left her since she had bought a fridge that’s bigger than his. Sandra also advised women to refrain from speaking about their past to their new partners.  "They are either going to use it against you or take you back through it. Let them continue from where they met you. If they want history, many universities offer the course," she said.

Alec Baldwin Accidental Shooting on Set, One Person Dead

Alec Baldwin was filming a scene for a movie that required someone to fire a gun loaded with blanks, but when the gun discharged either shrapnel or a bullet hit 2 people on set ... one of whom had to be airlifted to a hospital.

Our sources say the director was hit in the clavicle, but the DP wasn't so lucky ... she was a...
