Healthy happy you.
Another great episode on "The Biggest Loser" last night - once again I was brought to tears. From the Red Team getting immunity from the weigh-in by winning the challenge to Jillian really showing the Black Team her heart, the episode was jam packed. I am loving that the trainers are more involved this season because it makes them a little more accountable. In the end Patty, quite possibly the Read more
This week on Mad Men, we get a visit from Paul Kinsey, who has gone from progressive, pipe-smoking copy editor to confused Hare Krishna devotee. The Hare Krishna movement was founded in NYC in 1966, the year that's coming to a close on this season, and attracted beatniks like Allen Ginsberg and Beatle George Harrison, one of its most famous followers. The International Society for Krishna Read more
NBC has had mostly good tidings for fans of its comedies so far, renewing 30 Rock and Community, and now it's also given additional seasons to Parks and Recreation, Whitney, and Up All Night. However, we've also got some cancellation news to report: Are You There, Chelsea, Awake, Bent, and Best Friends Forever have all gotten the ax. All four shows were midseason entrants, and I'm not terribly Read more
Max Greenfield plays Schmidt on New Girl, a character that has a tendency to be materialistic, inappropriate, shirtless at any given moment. He can also be a sweetheart, thanks to Greenfield's funny, careful portrayal of him. I recently chatted with Greenfield while he was promoting Zevia, an all natural soda with no artificial sweeteners. Zevia has launched a campaign against artificiality, and Read more
We're all well-versed in '90s board games for girls, but did you know there was popular '60s board game that inspired the title of last night's Mad Men episode (and had a cameo in a commercial on the show)? "Mystery Date" is a board game for girls ages 6 to 14, and there have been several newer versions since the first one came out in 1965 — the year before this season of Mad Men is set. The Read more
HBO's new series Girls premiered at the School of Visual Arts Theater in NYC. The series is the brainchild of Lena Dunham, whose first big movie Tiny Furniture debuted in 2010. The film caught the eye of Judd Apatow, who reached out to Lena to see if she needed help with any projects. Their friendship helped bring Girls to TV, and Judd worked closely with Lena on the 10 episodes of the first Read more
Once again, Jessica Simpson is being criticized by the media because of her weight. During yesterday's episode of The View, Joy Behar referred to Jessica as "fat," saying, "Most women who are pregnant are not supposed to gain more than 25 pounds. She looks like she gained a lot more than that." Surprisingly, Sarah Palin, mother of four, defended Jessica on the Today show with the response, "I Read more
To say that I've been eagerly anticipating the return of Mad Men is a bit of an understatement. I've been anxious to see how season five would deal with the many unresolved story lines from the season four finale. What will happen to SCDP? Will Joan 'fess up about the father of her baby? Will Peggy ever get any recognition? Today, I'm teasing you a bit with a photo from season five's first Read more
Despite her heartfelt rendition of Mariah Carey's "One Sweet Day" this week, Shannon Magrane, the 16-year-old Florida native, has been cut from American Idol. This is a particularly harsh blow because this means Shannon will not be joining her fellow top contestants for the obligatory postshow Idols Tour. Following Tuesday night's semitraumatic episode in which Jermaine Jones was publicly booted Read more
