Recipe of the day

Today's episode of 30 Minute Meals is all about breakfast. When the kids or adults are hungry this meal is the perfect quick fix. Apple-maple-chicken sausage sandwiches and Crunchy monkey peanut butter banana sticks are the perfect way to start any morning. This is a classic breakfast sandwich with a healthy and flavorful twist. The sausage sounds complicated to make but is actually very easy. It is a combination of ground chicken, diced fresh apples, onions, garlic and a drizzle of maple syrup. Mix it all together and you have created your own home made sausage. Top these sausage patties with scrambled eggs mixed with a little cheese and put it all in between an english muffin or a nice flaky buttery biscuit.

Dessert for breakfast? These peanut butter bananas are so healthy and easy to make. As a kid at some point everyone has had a peanut butter and banana sandwich. This is the same concept but without the bread. Put a banana on a wooden skewer. Slather with honey and peanut butter, roll it around in some chopped nuts and you are done. It is truly delicious!

City buses ban Tyra

Promotional ads for the new season of "America' Next Top Model," which is hosted by Tyra Banks, are being removed from buses in Santa Monica. City transit officials said the new ads of the models posing in swimsuits in front of a waterfall are disrespectful. Many people have complained about these ads and said they are very degrading to women everywhere. It is a modeling competition what do these people expect? These girls are trying to win a modeling contract, do the citizens of Santa Monica want the contestants to model off a full length fluffy robe? Come one people, half of them are probably just mad because they will never be able to look as good as these models do in bathing suits!

Brody Jenner tries to get a date

One of the hottest bachelors in Hollywood is looking to UsWeekly to get him a date? Brody Jenner truly is one of the hottest playboy bachelors in Hollywood. He has gone out with the likes of Kristen Cavallari and Lauren Conrad who were both rivals on the hit MTV reality show "Laguna Beach." Lauren is also starring in another MTV reality show "The Hills", in the shows second season she is dating Brody Jenner and he is in nearly every episode. I don't understand why this guy is doing a video diary through USweekly.com to get a date. I am sure it is a publicity thing but come on! If you are that hot and are/were dating "one of the hottest girls on reality television," what are you thinking?

Evangeline Lilly on Letterman

This one is for all of the guys. Last night on Letterman "Lost" star Evangeline Lilly gets a little chill due to her tiny tiny dress so she gets a blanket. Guys remember this because it will be as close as you get to seeing her as if she just got out of bed. Enjoy!

Posh and Becks hit the small screen

The Beckhams are in talks with NBC to create a new reality show. They were offered a 19.6 million dollar deal to have cameras follow them as they make their move to the U.S. David Beckham signed a 5 year contract to play soccer for the Los Angeles Galaxy team. They have been in the tabloids a lot lately because of his new deal and their new found friendship with TomKat ( Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes). The girls have been seen shopping together in Los Angeles and London. Apparently Victoria Beckham is like Katie's fashion muse. They are in talks of moving close to the Cruise clan but who knows what will happen. The network really wants to get these two to do a reality show because it would give them huge ratings and would show Victoria's humorous side. She always looks very sheltered and quiet, this show will giver her a chance to show her corny and maybe crazy side. Reality shows always make for good television but two of the richest celebrities in the world coming to LA will top them all. I hope this works out I would love to see these two go at each other about decorating an d cooking. It will be hilarious!!!!!!!

Little boy explores the subway

A curious little boy took a ride all alone. 22 month old Stuart Tito Delmundo, is a very curious little boy who is fascinated with trains. Yesterday he took his fascination a little to far, as he was waiting on a subway platform with his mother for the train to pull up. His mother is aware of his fascination and curiosity so every time they are waiting for a train she holds on to him for dear life. She saw that his nose was running so she let go of him for a second to get a tissue. In that instant the young boy hopped on the train and his mother watched the doors close behind him. He got on a Manhattan bound 7 train. The mother was terrified and did not know what to do. The father came running down to the platform and immediately called 911. They were terrified that something would happen to their son after all it is New York, anything can happen! The police told the father to stay where he is. Luckily for the Delmundo family a nice elder woman who was on the train with young Tito saw what happened and picked him up. She got off at 61st street and came back to Junction Boulevard with the boy. The family was so relieved it was only a mere 15 minutes but for them it felt like a life time. They were praying that their son was ok, the family was so disheveled that when the woman gave back their son they did not even look at her. Thanks to this mystery woman their son is ok. They want to thank her but have no idea how to. Watch your kids people you never know when their curiosity is going to spark!

Controversial photos hit Cosi restaraunts

Cosi bans same sex marriage and couple photos in New Rochelle, NY. The chain restaurant put up a few pictures of same sex couples. The traveling exhibit is trying to spark talks of legalizing gay marriage and opening the eyes of political leaders. When Cosi took down the pictures they claimed that they could not keep the exhibit on their walls because it did not go through the companies "proper procedures for approving artwork." They had received many comments about the artwork both negative and positive. I think they just got scared and did not want this type of controversy to be associated with their particular chain. Cowards!!!!!!!!!!!!

Food Network Awards

Food Network goes to South Beach. The Food Network had it first awards show in Miami's trendy South Beach during the annual food and wine festival. The show was taped on February 23rd and will air on April 15th. Emeril Lagasse was master of ceremonies and all of our favorite Food Network personalities were on hand to present and give demonstrations. Paula Dean and her sons, Nigella Lawson, Giada Delaurentis, Mario Batalli, Bobby Flay, and Alton Brown were a few of the presenters. This off beat awards show celebrated food and the joy of cooking (no pun intended.) Catherine Zeta Jones and Aaron Eckahart attended the ceremony and were presenters. They were on hand to promote their new film "No Reservations" which is a romantic drama about two Manhattan chefs who are rivals but somehow get caught up in a romance. Of all the people that would go to the "Food Network Awards" I never thought it would be these two. It should be an interesting and off beat ceremony. Tune in April 15th to the first ever "Food Network Awards" and see how it all pans out!

"Izzie" might leave

"Izzie" might leave Grey's Anatomy! What is happening to this show the cast is falling apart!!! It is one of the greatest shows on television but it is slowly falling apart. Katherine Heigl did not renew her contract because the network executives are not giving her as much money as other cast members. She is very hurt and disappointed because she does not feel like she is valued as much as other cast members are. It is very unlikely that she will leave the show, but if she left and Isaiah Washington gets fired the show will fall apart. It is amazing how much two people can mean to a show. I mean look at what happened to That 70's Show once Ashton and Topher left. Need I say more?

Celebrities exposed!

The Sports Illustrated party for the annual swimsuit issue was held on Valentine' s Day. Unfortunately for all the party people it was not the best night. The event that was catered by Wolfgang Puck and his staff had some bad news to explain yesterday. One of his assistant chefs was diagnosed with Hepatitis A and may have exposed celebrities with the disease. The health department said that anyone who had consumed raw food that night should get treatment by today in order to avoid getting liver disease. Although the risk is low they are taking every precaution to make sure no one is seriously effected. This was a bad time for this news to come out. If this situation spun out of control it would have been very hard for Wolfgang Puck to regain his reputation. He is a very celebrated chef and this could have ruined his career. It was also so close to the famous Governors Ball held every year after the Academy Awards. That is his signature event and has been catering it for years. Celebrities at the event included Beyonce, who is on the cover, Kanye West, Kenny Chesney, members of Aerosmith, and Gnarles Barkley. What a night even the celebrities that don't get lucky on Valentine's Day still have to suffer the consequences.

It makes you wonder, she showed up to the Academy Awards and he did not. They co-starred together in "Babel" and they will co-star again but why did he bail?

Eddie Murphy was very upset by not winning the award for Best Supporting Actor for "Dreamgirls" after the award was given to Alan Arkin for "Little Miss Sunshine" Murphy left the theater and never returned to the ceremony or any of the after parties. Can you say sore loser?

Claims state that Brian has been receiving racially inappropriate text messages, and has had comments graffitied on his locker.

High School student gets harrassed

A Long Island high school students family has filed a $5million dollar civil law suit claiming that their son has been harassed through racial text messages and slurs put on his locker. The family claims that their son who is 1 of 5 African American students among 950 piers has been harassed since last April. They are filing a suit now because they have put in many complaints but the school has done nothing about it. Their son Brian Orr, who is a freshman at Miller Place High, has had graffiti on his locker and has been in fights after his football practices. The family claims that this is causing him a lot of distress to the point where he is forced into the hallway to fight. He is such a young man and should not be faced with this type of abuse. The family is filing the civil law suit in hopes that this will help his son, and other families that may be going through the same problems. For more information on this story click here.

Recipe of the day

Today is all about grilling. Whether it is indoors or out. The summer is all about outdoor grilling there is nothing like the smell and taste of that smoky flavor that can only come from the grill. Well it does not have to be summer for you to have that flavorful meal. Rachel Ray shows us how to grill and get the same flavors in our very own kitchen. She took a twist on a Spanish meal today by creating grilled shrimp and chorizo skewers with a paquillo pepper dip. Two flavors that are very commonly used in spanish cooking is chorizo, which is a smoky and spicy sausage, it is most commonly found in paella or gumbo, and paquillo peppers which are slightly sweet so it balances out the sausage. Along side of these skewers she makes her own take on a panini. She makes a charred ham and cheese melt with a hot olive relish. She used a typical spanish cheese known as manchego, and instead of regular ham that we are used to she uses serrano ham. These sandwiches are topped with an olive tapenade then pressed and grilled. Today's recipe may seem complicated to make because of all of the ingredients, but most of these ingredients are readily available in the regular grocery store. Enjoy summer in the middle of winter by cooking up this amazing grilled meal. To enjoy this 30 minute meal click here.

Dicaprio's new movie

Back in the game so soon! William Monahan and Leonardo Dicaprio are teaming up again. Monohan who wrote the screenplay for "The Departed" is adapting the screenplay for "Confessions of Pain." Dicaprio and Vertigo entertainment are teaming up for this remake. This film was originated in Hong Kong but Warner Bros. Pictures got the rights to remake the film. It is a story of two friends one a police detective and the other a private detective. They are trying to find out how the police detectives father-in-law was murdered. It is sure to be a thrilling film.

The iphone

The new Apple iphone is not even in stores yet, but at the moment it is the most sought after phone, people can not wait to get their hands on this new very sleek very expensive item. Apple knows how to get their customers wanting more. During Sunday nights Academy Awards apple aired a 30 second promo commercial. This was a great marketing move because they have a large demographic of customers that watch the ceremony. This was the first TV spot for this phone which is leading up to a huge marketing campaign. The phone will not be available until June but their is a lot of anticipation to have this item hit the Apple shelves.

Pitt and Murphy disappointment at the Oscars

Brad Pitt bailed on Sunday nights Academy awards. With a nomination for "Babel" for best picture and a nomination for " The Departed" which he helped produce, everyone wondered why he was a no show. Even though he was not personally nominated for an award everyone wondered why he did not come to the awards to support his movies and his fellow nominees. Apparently he was in New Orleans filming his new movie " The Curious Case of Benjamin Button." His co-star in this new F. Scott Fitzgerald remake Cate Blanchett was at the awards so it makes you wonder why he did not show. Maybe after all of the comments made about him and wife Angelina Jolie at the Golden Globes made him not want to make another public appearance.

Eddie Murphy was on hand to support his movie "Dreamgirls." He was nominated for best supporting actor, when he lost to Alan Arkin for "Little Miss Sunshine" Murphy was very upset. After the award was given out Eddie Murphy apparently left the his seat and never returned to the ceremony. He was so mad that he did not even bother to show up to any of the after parties. I thought he would stay and support his co-star Jennifer Hudson.

Lane is having a baby!

Tonight's the night Lane has her baby shower. Tonight's episode of Gilmore Girls is packed with a lot of humor and a lot of hard decisions. With Lane's crazy mood swings about having twins she forgot about all of the stuff she needs to take care of her babies. This sends her into a panic so she turns to her best friend Rory who explains that she should have a baby shower. Stars Hollow events are always over the top and a little nutty. With Lane's very strict Korean mother Mrs. Kim on hand I am sure everyone will be well behaved, until she leaves of course. Mean while as Rory is trying to figure out what she is going to do with her life after she graduates from Yale, she receives a very long awaited call from the New York Times for an informational interview. While Rory is very excited yet very nervous about her interview she get some bad news from her boyfriend Logan. As Rory is trying to achieve success with one of the biggest interviews she had ever hoped for Logan's job is a disaster. He is in financial trouble and decided that he hates what he does. His father is pushing Logan to continue working a job that he hates and told him that if he leaves the company he will be cut off. Luke starts to realize how much he misses Lorelei and is very upset when he finds out that his sister is trying to sell a boat that he had refurbished because it gave him a lot of memories with his time with Lorelai. Tonight is going to be a fun and very dramatic night in Stars Hollow. Tune in to the CW11 tonight at 8:00 for an all new episode.

Vice President Dick Cheney was involved in a terrifying attack yesterday afternoon. Cheney was sent to a bomb shelter after a Taliban suicide bomber attacked the main American military base he visited in Afghanistan yesterday. 14 people were killed from the Bagram Airbase attack which people said was aimed for Cheney. Cheney was only at the airbase because of inclement weather, he was supposed to be in the Capital city of Kabul. No one knew exactly what was happening but after everything was cleared officials said it was a suicide attack that was targeted toward Dick Cheney. For more information on yesterday's events click here.

Monday night television

Monday nighs are back. When football season comes to an end Monday's were not the best night for television there was nothing really that popular on between 9-11. That has all changed with 24 airing on FOX at 9:00 and the new drama The Black Donnelly's airing on NBC at 10:00. Monday is definately a night of amazing television.

The new NBC drama The Black Donnelly's is set to be the next hit drama on television. It is a story of four brothers who got caught up in the New York Irish mob scene. These four brothers Tommy, Kevin, Sean, and Jimmy are all very different but when it comes down to it they are exactly the same. Tommy is the smartest one he is going to Art School and does not want to be part of the scene his brothers got themselves into, but at the end of the day he is the most responsible and gets roped back in so he can save his brothers. Jimmy is the one that gets into the most trouble because he does not think about any of the consequences. Sean is the young innocent brother, he gets into trouble but nothing significant compared to the others. He is the one that gets all the girls and why everyone keeps their girls away from him. Kevin is the one that backs up Tommy. He tries to keep Tommy out of the scene if possible, but when it gets to bad for him to handle he turns to Tommy. The Black Donnelly's is a true gritty television show. It is like the Soprano's was made for network television. These four brothers are going to make for the biggest night in television. If you missed the show last night watch it online or watch a repeat episode Thursday night at 9:00.

Is there an Oscar curse?

Is winning an Oscar a curse or a blessing? Some people think it could go either way. Many actors have gone on to achieve greater success after the fact. Clint Eastwood, Tom Hanks, Gwyneth Paltrow and Kate Winslet are a few examples. Others have won an Oscar and then went on to make movies that were not exactly up to par. Take Cuba Gooding Jr. for example he gave an amazing performance in "Jerry Maguire" and went home with an Academy Award. After Jerry Maguire he went on to make "Snow Dogs?" All I am saying is it could go either way. Once you win an Academy Award you automatically get pushed up to another level of celebrity. Some studio's may not approach you because they think you would decline a role or you would be to expensive to pay. It is an amazing honor and accomplishment to receive an Academy Award, but when it is all over people must wonder, what am I going to do next?

Hef is getting married?

Word is that ultimate playboy Hugh Hefner is getting married! He is set to marry his long time girlfriend Holly Madison who is his number one girlfriend. He is not saying when the marriage will be taking place but does admit that it is going to happen. Anyone who watches "The Girls Next Door" , which airs Sunday nights on E! know that Holly has been talking about getting married and having children for a while now. She truly does love Hugh Hefner and wants to be married to him. I don't understand how this is going to work. What will his other two girlfriends Bridget and Kendra have to say about this? How is he going to have two girlfriends and a wife. I don't see it actually happening but apparently it is true.

Pillow Fight 2007!

Saturday was the day of pillow fight 2007. Hundreds of people gathered together in Union Square in order to whack each other. Little kids were running around trying to get all the older people and the adults were running around pretending to be little kids. Feathers were flying as strangers were whacking each other senseless!

"The Lost Tomb of Christ"

"The Lost Tomb of Christ" (a documentary by James Cameron) is causing a lot of stir among archaeologists and scholars. The documentary claims that 10 small caskets that were discovered in a suburb of Jerusalem in 1980 may contain the bones of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. This is causing a lot of controversy in the Christian community because if the casket truly contains the remains of Jesus it dispels the whole belief that he was resurrected and sent to heaven. The caskets were found in an ordinary Jerusalem burial cave and archaeologists state that at the time the names were very common so it could very well be anyone in those caskets. Their is a claim that this documentary is being aired in order to make for profitable television, but if these finding s turn out to reveal something true there will be a great deal of controversy in the Christian community. James Cameron will appear on "Larry King Live" on CNN tonight at 9:00 in order to explain why he believes his findings to be true.

Oprah's After Party

Oprah is everywhere. After Hollywood's biggest night Oprah is the only one who gets all the news and excitement the next day on Oprah's After Oscar Party. Her studio audience gets the chance to fill the seats of where all the celebrities sat the night before. She is the only one that is allowed access to the Kodak Theater the day after the show. She will have some of the winners and the shows host Ellen Degeneres with her to reveal all of last nights secrets and a recap of the whole event. Tune in to see what you missed last night and to hear about what happened behind the scenes.

Oscar winners

As everyone expected the night's big winners were no surprise. Helen Mirren took the award for Best Actress and Forrest Whitaker, "The Last King of Scotland" took the award for Best Actor. They were the favorites to win. Forrest Whitaker gave a very emotional speech and was so proud to be standing on that stage! Helen Mirren had the utmost confidence and was so calm and collected you can tell she took her role from "The Queen" a very seriously.(maybe she is still pretending to be in that role.) For Best Supporting Actress there was no surprise that Jennifer Hudson took home Oscar gold for "Dreamgirls". Everyone was routing for her and knew she would win. Getting voted out of "Ameican Idol" was the greatest thing that could have ever happened to her. Alan Arkin was the big surprise for Best Supporting Actor. He got the Oscar for his role as the outspoken grandpa in "Little Miss Sunshine." Here is a preview of last nights performance of the songs that got Jennifer Hudson her Oscar.

What a night! The Departed takes top honors. I think that was a surprise for many people, "The Queen" and "Little Miss Sunshine" were the favorites to take home the Oscar for Best Picture. It was a great night for Martin Scorsese, he finally got his moment. The anticipation for him to get an Oscar is finally over. With his friends ( Francis Ford Coppola, Steven Spielberg, and George Lucas) giving him the award made the moment that much sweeter. Everyone had said he deserved the Oscar and he finally got it. The night was pretty much as all the critics had expected to be with the surprise being " The Departed." For a complete list of all of the winners click here.

The kids are presenting on the Oscar Stage. Abigail Breslin ("Little Miss Sunshine") and Jaden Smith ("Pursuit of Happiness") presented for two categories of short films. They were adorable and seemed more confident than some of the people that have been on the Oscar Stage many times. So Cute!!!!!!

Will Ferrell and Jack Black on the Oscar Stage? Now that was funny! They had no problem making fun of anyone, they did better than Ellen did.

Oh Ellen!

Come on Ellen! I thought her opening monologue would be so funny. She knows all of the nominees and is friends with a few of them. She could have taken a leap and done something hilarious, but she played it safe. The only thing I thought was funny was the comment of was her mentioning Leonardo Dicaprio, but had nothing to say about him she just thought the ladies wanted to look at him for a minute. Her celebration of all the nominees with a gospel singing was very weird and came out of nowhere. She would have been better off dancing by herself on the stage. Hopefully it will get funnier otherwise this is going to be a long evening. You could tell that she was nervous and kind of rambling. I'm not denying it must be terrifying to host the Academy Awards, but she is Ellen she should make it funny and respectable at the same time.

Best and Worst Dressed

The 79th annual Academy Awards are starting soon. With the Red Carpet buzzing with excitement here is my take on this evenings best and worst dressed celebrity. Beyonce, in her mint green Armani jeweled gown looked absolutely stunning. she got everything right the perfect hair, jewelry and shoes. People said she keeps replicating the same "Dreamgirl" look but if it works for her she should stick with it. Anne Miran wowed the crowd in her golden almost vintage looking gown. She is definitely giving young Hollywood a run for their money. Kate Blanchet wearing a stunning silver gown by Armani Prive, She looked like a goddess the only thing I thought did not look right was her hair, it did not go with her dress. Reese Witherspoon looked amazing as always. she was floating in her black strapless drees. Being single definitely works for her, she has such a glow about her that makes her look extra amazing.

The men stood out as well. I have to say they are all looking classic and well groomed. To my surprise Sacha Baron Cohen was one of my favorites, after seeing him all crazy in scruffy in "Borat" it is nice to see how well he cleans up. My other best dress males were Leonardo Dicaprio 9of course,) Forrest Whitaker, he looked so handsome but yet humble in his tuxedo. Mark Wahlberg looked amazing in his classically tailored tuxedo. The men did very well this year, I don't really have any votes for worst dress males, but these four stood out for me.

Know for the bad news, my vote for the worst dressed females. Kirsten Dunst, Ann Hathaway, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Meryl Streep. Kirsten Dunst looked washed out and to old in her vintage light blue dress. The feathers on the bottom just topped a horrible look for her. Gwyneth Paltrow looked like a mermaid in her pink Zac Posen dress. Everything from the dress to the hair just did not work for her tonight. Meryl Streep was wonderful in" he Devil Wears Prada" she looked amazing and gave an amazing performance, she should have took some cues from her role as Miranda. Her long baggy black dress with her long orange necklaces were horrible. She looked like she got up went through her closet and put on the first thing she could find. It must be something with "The Devil Wears Prada" Ann Hathaway did not live up to the expectation either. Her white lace dress with black overlay that looks like she is wearing her bra on the outside of he dress, just did not work for me. It is such a shame, she is such a beautiful girl everything else worked but the dress was awful! For more of the celebrities walking the Red carpet, click here.

movie time

As the weekend rolls around a lot of people find time to go to the movies. This weekend is sure to make for an interesting time to go to a movie. With movies like "300", " The Number 23", and "Reno 911" which are in theaters now, the weekend will be a thrill ride for all movie goers.

"300" is based on a novel by Frank Miller, it is the story of the ancient battle of Thermopyle as 300 Spartans fight to the death against Xerxes and his Persian army. This movie has a lot of action and visual effects that will make it a fun an amazing show to watch.


Do you ever feel like in life you are living through some sort of random pattern? "The Number 23" which stars Jim Carrey is a story about a man who become obsessed with the number 23. He becomes obsessed with a book that he thinks is the outline of his life but ends in a murder. He tries to retrace things that happened to him in his life and realizes that everything somehow comes back to things that relate to the number 23. This is definitely not the typical hilarious Jim Carrey movie we are used to. It is dark and thrilling and is said to be one of his best movies yet.


"Reno 911" based on the comedy central series is a hilarious tale of an a team of Reno cops who are called in to help save the day as a terrorist attack interferes with a national police convention in Miami Beach during spring break.

recipe of the day

Fast food gets a healthy twist on today's episode of 30 Minute Meals. Rachel Ray takes the all american meal of a burger and fries and makes it healthy and easy to make at home. Her recipe for turkey chili burgers combines all of the flavor we love but don't have to feel guilty for eating. Her recipe includes everything you love in chili but making it into a burger. Chili seasoning adds an extra kick while cheddar cheese runs all through the burger in order to make it moist. She makes a refreshing cole slaw to go along side these burgers, the cole slaw is very healthy because the dressing has no mayonnaise in it. Who can eat a burger without french fries? I know I can't.. She takes a regular package of frozen french fries but gives it a twist by putting garlic butter all over them and baking them in the oven. This is a wonderful twist on the typical hamburger and french fries, and for once you don't have to feel guilty for eating fast food.

pillow fight!

Remember when you were young and all the girls had their annual slumber parties, which included eating as much as you can, giving each other makeovers, gossiping, and of course the mandatory event that takes place at every sleepover the pillow fight! Well get your pillows ready, on February 24th at 2:00 New York City's Union Square will be the scene of a massive pillow fight.The event organized by Newmindspace, will have hundreds of people gathered with their pillows in order to whack each other until feathers start flying. Crazy costumes are encouraged and of course a pillow is mandatory. I have heard of some wacky ideas but only in New York can you have a massive pillow fight in public!


Here is a preview of last year's crazy fight.

Mandy Moore goes back to her music!

Mandy Moore has been out of the music industry for a while because she decided to focus on acting. Some of her previous movies include Chasing Liberty, A Walk to remember, and two of her newest projects Because I Said So, and Twist of fate. She even appeared on HBO's hit show Entourage for a few episodes as Vincent Chase's girlfriend. She was overheard at an event held by Glamour magazine in LA talking about her newest project, her upcoming album. She has not had an album out for years and decided she wanted to go back to writing and singing. Her movie Because I Said So, who she co-stars with Diane Keaton, Lauren Graham, and Piper Perabo, is in theaters now and She has another movie coming out called Twist of Fate. At this event she did not mention either of these movies and was strictly talking about her upcoming album. Maybe her new relationship with DJ AM has something to do with her coming back to the music industry.

rats take over popular eatery

This one is not for the squeamish. A popular eatery has been shut down due to an infestation of rats. The Taco Bell and Kentucky Fried Chicken on 6th avenue in the west village has been shut down due to the rat problem. There are pictures and videos of these creatures running around and eating off the floor. CBS 2 reported on this story early this morning and tried to talk to a manager or some employees to see if they were aware of this problem., no one responded. They shot a video from outside of the restaurant and caught many of these rodents had taken over. One of the managers said they were going to contact the franchise owner, and said this condition is absolutely unacceptable. The restaurant is closed until this problem can be fixed. This is not the first time this particular franchise has been shut down due to an infestation. Before the restaurant closed its doors these rats were running around with the customers and eating off the floor and going as far as jumping on to their food trays. I have a feeling after this video no one is ever going to want to go back to this particular restaurant. To watch the video click here.

Daily recap

The Oscars are going environmental, no more fancy limousines. Everyone will be riding in style in a environmentally friendly hybrid vehicle. Who knew how much celebrities cared.

"Borat" is back in court again, I have to say it was one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. It was made with no money and now Sacha Baron Cohen is raking it in. Who thought that running around naked and pooping in a plastic bag could get you an Oscar nomination?


Bring Miami into your kitchen. With Rachel Ray's take on a typical Cuban meal you will feel like you were eating at one of the best restaurants in south beach.

Record broken for doing squats on top of an elephant. I think that statement speaks for itself!


Tune in tonight to Grey's Anatomy, I am sure there is bound to be a lot of tears and probably a lot of fighting, while everyone patiently waits to find out if Meredith will survive.

8,900 people playing in the snow. Making snow angels was always fun to do when you were a kid, it is nice to know that for one day the adults can pretend to be kids again.

Time for snow

It is fun to be a kid again. That is what close to 8,900 people in Bismarck, N.D thought. Thousands of people gathered together to beat the world record of the most snow angels made in one hour. 8,900 people were frantically making snow angels on capitol ground Saturday afternoon a they were trying to break the record of 3,784 which was set by the students of Michigan Technological University. It must of been a very funny sight to see old men and women frantically making snow angels. It is definitely something you don't get to see very often.

New record set on an elephant?

Some people will do anything to set a record. 52 year old Ashrita Furman set a world record for doing the most squat thrusts in one minute, but the kicker is he decided to do it on top of an elephant. Last thursday he beat the previous record of 30 squat thrusts and set the record for 40. Furman said he always dreamed of setting a record on an elephant. What is he thinking??? Furman holds 54 world records. One of them was running the fastest mile while balancing a pool cue. It makes you wonder how do these people come up with these ideas? For the complete article click here.

Miami heat

Get a taste of Miami. Today's episode of 30 minute meals is full of heat. Rachel Ray takes a trip of Miami with a menu that blends Cuban flavors. Mashed plantains with spicy garlic tomato shrimp is sure to get your taste buds going. A grilled flank steak with lime and onions set on top of black beans and rice is sure to make you feel like you were eating on South Beach. The meal sounds complicated but Rachel Ray will make it easy and affordable to replicate. As she always says a 30 minute meal with this much flavor is any one's best friend. For the recipe click here

What will Meredith's fate be?

Tune in tonight for an all new Grey's Anatomy. Last weeks episode was filled with drama. At the scene of a tragic ferry accident the staff of Seattle Grace was on hand to help the wounded. Meredith, Izzy, and Mcdreamy were all on hand. Everyone was frantically running around healing the wounded. As a young girl standing at the end of the pier is learing out into the river Dr. Mcdreamy asks if she is ok. He had seen her earlier with meredith and asks where she is. He saw alot of patients tagged with meredith's name but he could find her anywhere. When the young girl points into the river Mcdreamy jumps in to find meredith. As he gets her out she is frozen and fighting for her life. No one else at the hospital knows what is going on. Christina, Alex, George, and Mcsteamy have no idea that something is wrong withher, they think that she is still at the site and is missing. They are at the hospital calming down families who can not find their loved ones. As meredith is brought into the hospital these four doctors who are like meredith's family are paged with the news. They are all waiting patiently to find out her fate. Tonights all new episode is the end to a 3 part story line. It should make for a very interesting hour of television. For a recap of last weeks episode click here.

"Borat" causes a stir again

"Borat" is still causing problems for Sacha Baron Cohen. Two South Carolina fraternity brothers tried to sue Cohen claiming that the filmmakers got them drunk before they signed a waiver to appear in the film. The fraternity brothers Christopher Rotunda and Justin Seay claimed that they were not aware that the movie was going to be shown in the U.S. and their appearance in the film is causing them a lot of distress because they were embarrassed by their behavior. They filed a law suit asking that their seen be taken out of the film once it is released on DVD. The judge has sided with Cohen and the scene will remain in the film. The film was nominated for an academy award, how bad could it be for these brothers to be part of an Oscar nominated film.

Environmental Oscars

The Oscars are getting environmental. The Academy Awards is the biggest night in Hollywood. It is a night that celebrates the film industry. Everyone is interested and watching. It is a night dedicated to fashion, film, and glamour. The red carpet at the Academy Awards is the place to be. This year the celebrities are getting environmental. Instead of taking limousines to the event celebrities will be rolling up to the red carpet in hybrid vehicles. An environmental group called Global Green USA will be providing over 30 hybrid vehicles for stars like Leonardo Dicaprio and Davis Guggenheim who directed a documentary on global warming. Celebrities are getting more involved in the environment and Oscar night is the perfect time for them to make a statement because everyone will be watching. Sunday February 25th will give people a chance to see their favorite stars make a stand for the environment.

Amilla Sonja Taylor is a miracle baby, She was born October 24th in Miami, Florida and came out after only 22 weeks. She was not expected to survive but this tiny precious baby is going home soon. She was supposed to go home on Tuesday but doctors thought it would be better for her to be in the hospital just in case she suffered any complications. She was only 9 1/2 inches long and weighed 10oz. when she was born. Now she is doing much better and weighs in at 4 1/2lbs.

Good Morning

Coffee!!!!!!!!! So, I am huge coffee drinker, and I woke up this morning and realized there was no coffee left in the house. I am sitting here in my pajama's so I can't really go out to get anything. All you coffee drinkers out there know what I am talking about. In the morning that is all you want. The smell instantly wakes you up. Well since I have no coffee in the house I had to come up with an alternative. I made my own version of Chai tea. I know it is not the same as a not hot cup of coffee but I promise you it is a good alternative when you are in a situation like mine. I put in 1 cardamom pod, 2 cloves, and 1 cinnamon stick with one regular tea bag. Let it steep for 2 minutes add milk and sugar and enjoy! I know For all the coffee drinkers out there you are probably thinking I am crazy. I promise if you try this tea once you will enjoy it.

Daily recap

Britney goes back to rehab! I think it is about time. Between her shaving her head and all the drama she is going through with k-fed, She needs a reality check... It is a good thing she has her family to back her up.

Cooking is always fun, especially when you get tips from professionals to reinvent meals and try to pass them off as your own. Rachel Ray always says entertain with these meals and you will impress all of your friends. As far as I am concerned if I pull of these meals and they come out half as good as she makes them look, I am taking all of the credit! Shh! My little secret. ;o)


Poor Jennifer Mee, She got famous for hiccuping but it is so painful and she should have the chance to go back to school and be a normal kid. I just hope when she goes back no one makes fun of her. If they do she can laugh and say you can make fun of me all you want but did you ever get to be on the Today show or have Ellen Degeneres call you? Haha! I did not think so!

A hearty comforting breakfast is always the greatest thing to wake up to on a a cold winter morning. Nothing beats the smell of coffee and breakfast cooking on a griddle. I hope that when you have a day off you take some of my breakfast choices and have a warm comforting morning like I did. Enjoy!


"American Idol" I don't even know what to say, It is one of the biggest shows on television, but........ I am a huge "Gilmore Girl's" fan I don't know what to choose. I am gonna have to watch in between commercials.

Britney back in rehab?

Britney spears went back to rehab again. This is the second time in two weeks she has checked into rehab. Her family had an intervention and wanted her to go back. For more info click here.

Rachel Ray time. New recipe

Rachel Ray time, I told you how I try to watch Rachel Ray's 30 minute meals everyday at 2:30 in order to try to figure out what to have for dinner. Today's episode is definitely making me hungry. She is making burgers with a Greek twist. The traditional Greek dish known as spanokopita, which is basically a cheese pie with spinach, gets a Rachel Ray twist by adding ground chicken and making it into a burger. She accompanies it with french fries and a yogurt dip that is the same as tzatziki sauce. It looks easy enough to make and sounds delicious! Definitely a recipe I am going to try out.

Poor hiccup girl :o(

Who would have thought that having the hiccups could get you on the news? That is what happened for 15 year old Jennifer Mee, she has made headlines for having the hiccups. ABC's Good morning America had left 57 messages for the young Florida native at her hotel. Jennifer has started hiccuping 4 weeks ago and for some reason can not stop. She was flown to New York on NBC so she could appear on the Today show. Jennifer's mother felt very guilty about not being able to help her daughter and did not want her to appear on ABC or any other station, but after all NBC had done for them she did not feel it was right to ditch the Today show. It was her first time visiting the big apple and I am sure she wished it was for a different reason than her hiccuping problem. She had calls waiting for her from The Ellen Degeneres show and other stations as far as Britain and Canada. All Jennifer could think about was going back to school and being a normal kid again. It is embarrassing but funny for her, she became famous for having the hiccups.

American Idol going strong

"American Idol" is one of the top ten shows on television. Many people like to make fun of the show and say they don't watch it, but I think in some respect it is every one's guilty pleasure. If you are watching the new episodes of the" American Idol" rewind, you are still watching. It is a huge phenomenon that has swept through the country. I have heard people fighting over who they think the better "Idol" would be. This season is one of the most watched with 35.5 million people watching in the first five weeks, with its ratings rising every season executives are saying that "American Idol" is the most impactful show in the history of television. The show is so popular that on its Tuesday and Thursday time slot they are huge competition for "Survivor, " Ugly Betty," "My Name is Earl" and "The Office." The phenomenon known as "American Idol" is taking over television, lets see who the next "American Idol" will be.

Christopher vs. Luke? Tonight secrets might be revealed

Tuesday night!!!!! Time to find out what is happening with the lives of the Gilmore Girl's. Tonight's all new episode is set to be a great episode. Lorelei has split from her husband, but no one knows not even her daughter Rory ( or so they think). Lorelei keeps her hopes up waiting for her husband Christopher to come back. She knows in her heart he is not coming back but she does not want to go through the humiliation of telling everyone that he left, especially her mother Emily. Stars Hollow is a very small town with a tight nit community so word travels very fast. Apparently everyone knows that Christopher left, but no one knows why everyone pretends not to know so Lorelei will tell them what happened. I wonder what Lorelei's ex fiance Luke is thinking and what he will do. As Lorelei and Rory try to hide while they are in Stars Hollow their tensions are rising because they have no idea what to say. Tonight should be a very funny episode. Tune in tonight at 8:00 to the CW11 and find out what happens.
