It was a crazy day for me yesterday since Kate Gosselin was on the Ellen show and the funny thing is that Kate has always reminded me of the talk show host.  Their voice and mannerisms are similar to me.  Do you see it at all?
Ellen brought out some magazines that feature Kate as their cover story and she asked her how she deals with all of it.  Kate said that it’s been hard and tries to watch what she says since her children are always watching (and can always pull up videos of these interviews at a later time).

Late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel sat down with Ellen DeGeneres for a bit of fun. The Jimmy Kimmel Live! host was asked by Ellen about why he doesn’t like to dance, to which he responded that he only does it when he’s drunk! Jimmy then discussed his past experiences from when he was a wedding DJ.
His Halloween ideas were also pretty crazy! Jimmy is hilarious, and it was nice to see him and Ellen together. Quite a pair they make!

Today, on The Bonnie Hunt Show, guests who made their way over included controversial The View co-host Sherri Shepherd and actor Ty Burrell. Sherri sat down with Bonnie and discussed her infamous “Is the World Flat?” discussion that went down on The View in 2007, in which she said she didn’t know whether the world was flat.
Sherri claims that she had been distracted that day because her mind was preoccupied by the fact that a check had bounced that day. She also discussed her new book Permission Slips and what her message was for women who stress about everything.
Sherri …read more

Almost everyone can relate to having a toxic relationship in their lives.  Whether it’s with a family member, friend or even co-worker, these types of relationships can be draining and painful for everyone involved.
Dr. Phil posted a video on his YouTube channel giving advice on how to handle these situations.  His first tip was to make sure to treat everyone with respect.  Most importantly, he said that the issue needs to be brought out in the open and dealt with since it won’t go away on its own.
I agree with Dr. Phil this time.  Here’s the video:

Sarah Palin has agreed to sit down for an interview on Oprah in an episode that should air on November 16, 2009.  I know that this is going to be HUGE for ratings!  Hopefully, Oprah will ask all of the questions everyone wants to know: Why did she resign as the Alaskan governor?  Does she still get along with John McCain?  What’s the deal with Levi Johnston, the father of her daughter’s baby?  Can she really see Russia from her old house?

Oprah originally asked Palin to be on the show during the 2008 election season but she declined.  I’m guessing …read more

Almost everyone loves Italian food but many don’t know much about the fare beyond your typical pizza and spaghetti so it was great that the Today show demonstrated how to make some authentic Italian dishes.
One meal they prepared was cavetelli with eggs and bacon which looked like a mix between a carbonara and a frittata.   For dessert, they made a bread parfait.  The bread is socked in espresso coffee, chocolate and rum and is then layered in a dessert glass with whipped cream.  It’s a great way to get rid of leftover bread.  It was so quick and easy!

Elisabeth Hasselbeck is back from maternity leave!  She looked every bit the glowing new mother and she shared a really cute photo of her new son, Isaiah.  She did have an embarrassing moment to share, however.
The View co-host explained that right after breastfeeding her son, he gave her the biggest smile and, wanting to capture the adorable moment, she reached for her iPhone and snapped the shot.  She forwarded the picture to all of her family members only to discover that her nipple is featured prominently in the image.  Yikes!  I’ve definitely had a couple moments like that in my …read more

Former Grey’s Anatomy star, TR Knight was on Ellen earlier this week and I thought the interview was actually pretty adorable.  He talked about being in the musical Parade but it was his story about the cast that got some laughs.  He explained that one of their favorite games to play is “How Many Chins?” and he showed Ellen how to play it.  Basically, one person asks the other “how many chins?” and then that person presses their chin to their chest to see how many folds, or “chins” they can create.  If you don’t get it, watch the video …read more

The Today show looked at 10 foods that are supposed to be “healthy” for us but really aren’t.  While the label might send a certain message, all might not be as it seems.   Here are the potential offenders:

Multigrain bread – don’t be fooled by the name.  Always look for something that says 100% whole grain or whole wheat.  Enriched flour might be something you want to avoid.
Reduced-fat peanut butter – regular peanut butter is possibly better because it’s heart healthy fats and the reduced-fat has more sugar.
Energy bars – read the labels because some of those bars contain more than …read more

Alton Brown demonstrated the proper technique for making the perfect crêpe and if you’ve never tried to make them, you might really want to take notes.  Crêpes are often described as being really thin pancakes and I guess that’s a reasonable enough comparison but one of my favorite things about them is that you can roll all sorts of fillings up inside of them. 
They work for dessert, brunch or breakfast (or even as a tasty treat!) so you should definitely consider giving them a try.  It might take a little practice to get them right but it’s totally worth …read more
