Yes, I realize that it’s super simple but seeing this made me remember that I could just whip up a batch and the best part is that I can use low-fat ice cream or even frozen yogurt!  On the Today show they used chocolate chip cookies so I was drooling before they even added the ice cream!

The owner and chef from Neary’s Pub were on the show where they demonstrated how they make their delicious lamb chops (it looked sooo easy!).  I’ve always been intimidated to make those types of foods at home but I’m beginning to have a change of heart after this demonstration!

Kourtney sat down with Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee Gifford, (a long-time friend of Kourtney’s mother, Kris), this morning on the Today show and she spilled the beans that Scott is the baby’s father and that they are back together.  This revelation seemed to surprise her sister, Khloe, who didn’t seem to know that Kourtney and Scott were now dating.  “He’s very excited,” Kourtney gushed. “When I found out, I was so shocked I didn’t know what to do. I was so confused. But he was so for it and so excited from the beginning. We’re really happy.”

If you’ve ever watched Keeping Up With the Kardashians, you’ll know that Kourtney was so troubled by her suspicions that Scott was cheating on her that she had to seek counseling.  She and Khloe were supposed to star in their own spin-ff show, Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami, on which they were supposed to move to Miami, open a new branch of their family clothing store, Dash, and enjoy life as two, young single women.  Of course, those plans have changed

I won’t lie – I find these girls really interesting.  Watch the interview from this morning:

They dish a bit more about the film in their interview. Eric spoke about getting over losing his clothing in front of camera as well as his Australian accent. Rachel also discussed the on-camera chemistry she felt with her co-star and how lucky they were that there wasn’t too much awkwardness. According to Rachel, fans of the book shouldn’t be disappointed because, despite the lack of characters included in the novel, the film retains the romance between the two main characters. It seems like an interesting film! Check out Rachel and Eric’s interview below.

While speaking to Us Magazine at an event at the American Theatre Wing in New York City, Kathie said:  "I would turn off the cameras if I were them and just work on healing together as a family.  Who knows the long-term damage something like this could do? I understand they are making a living, but you have to wonder at what price."  Jon has said that he no longer wants to live his life in front of the cameras while Kate wishes to continue the show.

With such strong words for the reality TV family, is Kathie Lee watching the show?  No, she says.  "Frank and I are probably the only two people in America avoiding that show. We are not reality fans and prefer to live reality. We sure don’t want cameras following us around and picking on us!"

I never thought the day would come when I would say this but… I agree with Kathie Lee.  I think that for the sake of their children and their marriage, they should stop the show and work things out.  Sure, they might lose the $75,000 per episode that they’ve been making but, surely, with what they’ve already been paid and Kate’s book sales, there is enough for this family to live on.  What’s more important, anyway?  Money or your family?  Fortunately, they’ve got enough of both to go around…

The Ellen DeGeneres Show has by far taken the crown for the most amount of nominations this year with over six of them! Rachael Ray and Dr. Phil got a good amount as well. Who are you rooting for? I have no idea who’s going to win for Outstanding Talk Show. It’s quite a close match, so it should be interesting to see who takes it!

This year Vanessa Williams will be hosting the awards show! Make sure to catch the event on August 30th at 8 pm E.T on the CW Network!

I haven’t been able to find a video but, this past weekend, Zac Efron hosted Saturday Night Live and it was a pretty good episode.  Of course, the show couldn’t resist making fun of the one-year anniversary of Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb pairing up.  Zac played Kathie Lee’s infamous son, Cody (anyone who watched Regis and Kathie Lee knows that the woman bordered on obsessed with the child).

I didn’t realize the former High School Musical star was going to be on the Today show.  He must have been a bit nervous about the appearance after the skit.

Anyway, Matt Lauer started asking him about the skit when Kathie Lee walked out from backstage with curlers in her hair.  AWKWARD.  She came out with a picture to show Zac what Cody really looks like and told him that Cody is “way younger than you, way taller than you and way better looking.”  Fortunately, she agreed that it is a compliment to have someone as popular as Zac Efron portraying Cody in the SNL skit but I wonder if, deep down, she was cranky about it.  She seemed a little miffed to me.  Watch the segment:

Here are the questions that Kathie Lee Gifford was asking people on the streets of New York:

1. What nationality was St. Patrick?
2. What is the meaning of the shamrock?
3. What is the most common surname in Ireland?
4. What is the capital of Ireland?
5. What is Ireland’s national drink?
6. What is the national symbol of Ireland?

They invited one of my favorite television chefs, Ming Tsai, to help them showcase the different foods.  They started with Chinese food and, of course, Kathie had to make faces about things that she didn’t like but then stuffed an entire lettuce wrap in her mouth and then vomited off screen.  Moving on…

They also had some Bubble Tea (I’ve always wanted to try that!).  Other cuisines that they explored include Korean and Indian (my favorite!) and then they finished the segments by making some delicious-looking dumplings!
