Personality Tests: What I Am Is What I Am. Are You What You Are–Or What?

This will date me. Remember Edie Brickell? And the New Bohemians? Yeah, that's what I thought. For you young things out there, just wee babes in the woods, Edie Brickell is married to Paul Simon of Simon & Garfunkel, which is probably just old enough a group/duo to be "hip" again. Anywho, Brickell broke into the music scene with her band ...more»

“Hugging a Cactus”: Robert Downey, Jr. Calls for the Forgiveness of Mel Gibson

Maybe it was the fact that my twin girls O and Ro woke up chattering and partying at 5 a.m. (The entire fam fell back asleep by 6:30--I did not. But the bath tub's clean due to my insomnia. Score?!) Or maybe it was the fact that as a celeb blogger I feel some major remorse for covering his personal ...more»

First, it should be said that I go for pictures first when I look at a book, so it only makes sense that I looked for a pic for this post prior to writing it. Second, it should be said, in full disclosure, that of those "cyclist" pics, some were of nude yet body-painted folks. This seems so awfully wrong. Third, also ...more»

When Apple co-founder and technology genius Steve Jobs passed away on Wednesday, October 5, the world responded via the devices he imagined and created. I've already written about his passing, but my thoughts are still resting on the life and too-soon death of Jobs. Why has his story impacted so many of us so much? In the end, what I'm ...more»

Lady Gaga Eats a Hot Dog. I Eat Some Delish Fish. “Roasted Salmon with Green Herbs”

First things first: Nicki Minaj totally stole my look for tonight. Observe: For reals, Minaj? And just after Lady Gaga was snapped ordering a hot dog wearing this ensemble. Shoulda seen this "borrowing of ideas" coming: You guessed it, folks. You can just see what I was gonna wear to eat a New York City hot dog. Just kidding! That's crazy talk. ...more»

posted by Kara filed under Get In My Belly

Can a pesto change the world? It's surely rocked mine. Hello, friends. Today, I bring you a most desirable pesto. I can use the word "desire" alongside pesto because in the past I've had to go without yummy sauces containing cow's dairy. Thus the desiring, jonesing, salivating over them. But no more, friends! In the height of summer garden basil, I ...more»
