Suddenly single? Celebrate!

Rebounding may be a quick fix, but after the end of one relationship Steadman suggests stars like Britney Spears and Kate Hudson should take time to be on their own, focus on the love and support of friends and family, and NOT rush into another relationship.

"The best thing a woman can do for herself after a breakup is to take some much needed ME time to heal her broken heart. Focus on positive empowering ways to fill your free time like doing yoga, getting a massage, throwing yourself into a new and exciting work or home improvement project. DO NOT waste time and energy on a rebound relationship that's really nothing more than a distraction from dealing with your own healing."

Don't contact your ex on Valentine's Day

For stars like Cameron Diaz and Drew Barrymore whose breakups are fresh, Steadman advises resisting the urge to dial their exes' digits on February 14th.

"Valentine's Day is not the day to call just to say hi. Nor is it the day to reconsider rekindling the romance. Now more than ever it's important to avoid contacting your ex. That means no phone calls, no e-mails, and definitely no in-person meetings. If you happen to bump into the other person, be polite, but keep your boundaries firmly intact. And don't unleash any post-breakup rage within earshot of paparazzi."

Rely on the support of friends

According to Steadman, Hollywood starlets like Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton could learn a thing or two from Courtney Cox Arquette and Jennifer Aniston who are the models of true friendship in Hollywood.

"You always need your girlfriends to get you through a breakup. On Valentine's Day, instead of bad mouthing a so-called friend, taking the ex-boyfriend's side, or hooking up with your own ex, why not reach out to your girlfriends? They're the ones who have your best interests at heart. They'll be able to remind you why your ex isn't good for you, and why you're far too fabulous to sit at home on Valentine's Day feeling sorry for yourself. Gather the girls and just have fun!"

Don't rebound with someone else's ex

What comes around goes around, Steadman warns stars like Nicole Richie and Denise Richards.

"Breakup karma is no exception, especially in a tight knit community like Hollywood. If you hook up with someone's ex right after they breakup, prepare for retaliation from the universe. You never know when or where it'll hit you, but breakup karma is a bitch."

Learn from other breakup superstars

Hilary Swank, Carmen Electra, and Reese Witherspoon all seem to share a post-breakup secret that other celebrities could learn from.

"Instead of focusing on the past and what went wrong, celebrate the lessons you continue to learn from the relationship that just ended. Don't look at the breakup as a failure, but as an opportunity to learn and grow as a human being. Be thankful for the time you spent with that person in that relationship. And be grateful that you found the strength and courage to acknowledge that the relationship wasn't working anymore and that you're now free to move on with your life."
