Today's "30 Minute Meals" is all about being indulging and getting stuffed. It is all about pasta, after the whole low carb movement pasta was like an omen, everyone steered clear of it. Well time to get back into eating pasta. Spinach and Hot Ham Fake-Baked Pasta with a Crispy top is delicious and very satisfying. It is fake baked because it will look like it was baking in the oven all day just like the traditional baked ziti would be. The hot ham is spicy capicola ham which is a traditional Italian favorite. The crispy crust comes from mounds of melting parmesan cheese that bakes into a golden crust on top of pasta, and of course to feel a little less guilty throw some spinach in there. To balance out the meal there is a salad involved. Celery and Portabella salad makes you feel better about eating heavy cheesy delicious pasta. Don't worry about the carbs for one night, sit down and enjoy this deliciously cheesy pasta. Almost makes your mouth water. Yummy!!!!!!!!!

Frenchie vs. American Idol

Rosie O'Donnell does it again. Yesterday on "The View" She chose not to hold her tongue, this time her comments were about "American Idol" she called the show "Racist and Weightist" for choosing to keep Antonella Barbra when it was revealed that she had posed nude for some photographs that were leaked on the Internet. She thinks it had more to do with her physical appearance than her voice, because when the same much publicised issue happened with Frenchie Davis, she got kicked off the show. Executive producer Nigel Lythgoe has responded to her comments and is quoted as saying:

"Without wishing to add to the obvious self-promotion of Ms. O'Donnell, I feel as though I must refute her absurd and ridiculous claims that "American Idol" is racist and/or weightist," he said in a statement. "Ms. O'Donnell has, once again, spoken without thought or knowledge. Viewers need only look at the show tonight to realize that ‘American Idol' constantly confirms to America that talent has nothing to do with weight or color."

O'Donnell has every right to state her opinion that is what being such a popular personality is. But she needs to realize what she is saying and how it could effect her, and the people around her. The backlash she is recieving does ultimately effect her other co-stars, because it all started on "The View."


Frenchie Vs. Antonella

Recipe of the day

Today's episode of "30 Minute Meals" is about a retro classic. It is all about fondue! It is perfect way to get all of your friends together and enjoy a classic way of cooking.

Cheese fondue is normally made with a cheddar or the all American Velveeta cheese. This version takes Gouda cheese and adds small pieces of cooked bacon and toasted almonds for extra crunch and flavor. Making fondue is extremely easy to prepare and entertain with. You get everything cooked before hand and place it on a platter while your fondue mixture remains warm all night. It is stress free entertaining and it is delicious. Try entertaining with a classic fondue recipe with and updated twist, I guarantee your friends will never want to leave.

People were shocked when he walked into the restaurant, but the night got even better when Bono walked in to join him. The pair had a casual dinner in the back room and were also joined by Ron Burkle and Jay-Z. Definitely an interesting dinner party. Never would have thought Jay-Z and Bill Clinton would have dinner together. It was a big night for people who decided to go have a drink or dinner at this popular eatery.

Kanye has a craving

Everyone gets a craving once in a while but when it comes to Kanye West he will do anything to fulfill that craving. The famous rap artist had a hard core craving for some Indian food, but not any Indian restaurant would suffice. He wanted a meal from Raj's dining room in London! An average meal from this eatery would cost approximately $17.oo, but for Kanye to have a meal shipped for him and seven of his friends it would cost him a whopping $3,900. When the restaurant got the request for the order they were shocked. No one has ever placed this type of order. The restaurant specially prepared the food and packed it in dry ice so it could with stand the travel. The restaurants head chef had to travel with the food in order to properly prepare it once it arrived in New York. This one order is the equivalent to what the restaurant would make in two nights. Everyone has cravings but this is just crazy! Definitely one of the most expensive meals ever!

Well the ban ended last week when Paris got ticketed for driving with a suspended license. This was not breaking news by any means,but it meant a lot for the Associated Press. The ban was over, they broke when they wrote a 3oo word article about the incident. They wanted to see how long the ban would last, the intention was to only do it for a week but they did not even make it that long. They were trying to take a stand. There is so much going on in the world but some people are more interested in celebrity news, with stories of Paris being at the top. I admit it is a lot more fun to read stupid crazy stories about other people than it is t hear about people dying or the weather. It is American pop culture and it is fascinating, you can't help but get hooked. Time to go read UsWeekly. LOL!!!

Jane Magazine asks for cleavage

Working at Jane Magazine may be more than any woman bargained for. The magazine had to cancel an article they were planning called "A Guide to Boobs" after the photographers were going around and asking random employees to bare their chest for the article. Imagine being at work and someone coming up to you and saying hi! I want to take a photo of your boobs. I would be like get the hell out of here! Hmm... I wonder if the photographer was male or female? The article was cancelled because the editor put out a call sheet to have other females apply to have their boobs photographed. 53 women of different shapes and sizes were chosen and it was supposed to be an anonymous shot. When one of the editors assistants came into the shoot and started calling out names she got busted, everything went downhill from there. Naked women were running around and screaming ( a dream for many men) and the magazine had to make a public apology and paid the women there $50 dues.

His drug behavior proved to be true when him and Kate visited the Cotswold Wildlife Park in Oxfordshire, England. He was smoking a joint and was showing off.

Reviews are in

The reviews are in . Harry Potter's debut as an onstage actor in "Equus" , at London's West End Theater, is a rave! The audience was expecting to see the infamous "Harry Potter" character on stage but were pleasantly surprised when Radcliffe broke the mold. He was able to capture the audience and proved himself as a serious actor outside of his role as "Harry Potter." The big wonder was how Daniel was going to be in the infamous nude scene which caused a lot of controversy when it was announced that Radcliffe was going to play the character of Alan Strang. Critics said he did a very good job he was brave and managed to stay in character. They said it did not seem to phase Radcliffe that he was naked, he just went on in order to keep the audience interested. How could you not be interested? "Harry Potter" gets naked, people who have seen this play are going to have a difficult time watching the next movie installment " Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" without thinking of him being nude. All in all the reviews were very good and Daniel Radcliffe owned the stage in "Equus."

Here is the first London review.

"Izzie" is staying

Even if "Izzie" wanted to leave Grey's Anatomy she can't. Katherine Heigl's contract will not let her leave. Despite her problem with her salary the producers realize she is a very important factor in what makes Grey's Anatomy such a great show. That is why producers made sure she signed a contract that will keep her on the show for a while. There was talk that Katherine was going to be compensated generously for the show and the tabloids spun the story and turned it into something negative. Make up you minds people are you going to pay her or not pay her. Either way everyone is still going to watch "Izzie" go crazy at Seattle Grace.

"Reno 911" hits daytime television

The cast of " Reno 911" was on the " Rachel Ray" show this morning. They were hilarious, since Rachel Ray is obviously a lover of cooking so she had the cast on the show to share some recipes with her. Well the tables were turned on Rachel. The cast decided to cook for her officer style. They cooked hot dogs with tazer guns and flavored them up with pepper spray. Than they made a nice milkshake with olive oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, and donuts. Blend it all up with some ice and milk and that will make for one delicious milk shake. I would never ever put that in my mouth. I DON"T recommend trying this recipe!
