Selecting the Flowers for Your Wedding

Earlier, we talked about choosing the size of your wedding bouquet. Now it’s time to break the whole flower thing down to the finer basics – what kinds of flowers do you want? There are a number of different variables to go into the equation. Let’s take a look at them. 1. What time of year are you getting married? If you’re working with a florist, you can be almost sure of getting the flowers you want, regardless of season, because florist flowers are grown in greenhouses. However, there are some things, such as waxflower, which are only available during … Continue reading

It’s hard to believe, but the adorable spawn of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes turns 3 on Saturday. Yup, Suri Cruise is getting to be a big girl, and now that she no longer clings to her bottle like a dryer sheet to a fuzzy sock, she’s headed off to school. Scientology school to be exact. According to reports, young Suri will attend the Church of Scientology’s $8,810 a year New Village Academy in Los Angeles in the fall. A British newspaper alleges Cruise is keen for his youngest child to learn the ways of his religion. But lest you … Continue reading

“Dancing with the Stars” Adds a New Twist

It’s superstar husband versus celebrity wife during this season’s Dancing with the Stars. And here’s another first: Instead of celeb hoofers hooking up with their pro partners during the season (ala Derek Hough and Shannon Elizabeth, Mark Ballas and Sabrina Bryan, etc.), this season producers allowed a real life couple to heat up the ballroom. DWTS champ-turned-country-singer Julianne Hough will compete with her boyfriend, country singer Chuck Wicks. Producers say they are interested in seeing if the lovebirds will stay together after being forced to be around each other nearly 24/7. Another potential deal breaker: Julianne will be bossing around … Continue reading

Ed McMahon Does the Super Bowl

What would Johnny think? Given his current financial situation it’s nice to see that Ed McMahon is making a few bucks these days… and today he has the Super Bowl to thank for his paycheck. For those of you who tune into the big game just to see the commercials, you’ll be treated to McMahon’s mug and his story of how he survived bankruptcy by selling stuff around his house. It’s no joke. Johnny Carson’s former sidekick is teaming up with Cash4Gold, which buys jewelry and other precious metal objects, to create a humorous Super Bowl ad spotlighting McMahon’s real … Continue reading

The Power of Guest Stars

Forget about Michael Phelps sinking or swimming during his stint as host of this week’s “Saturday Night Live,” I’m more interested in the rumor that “SNL” alum Tina Fey may be returning to the popular comedy sketch show to play Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin. I have been a fan of Fey’s since she made her debut on “SNL” (she left to head up NBC’s “30 Rock”) and would be thrilled to see her back on late-night TV. “SNL” head honcho Lorne Michaels wouldn’t confirm Fey’s temporary return; rather all he would tell reporters is that whoever plays John … Continue reading

An Olympian Loses Her Wedding Ring During Competition

The other night when I was watching the Olympics, they covered a side story about how Kerri Walsh lost her wedding ring during a match. Nay, not any match. It was during her first round match against Japan. GULP! Being a sand volleyball player myself (though nowhere near even close to the same caliber as Kerri Walsh and her super star partner, Misty May), I know all about how the sand likes to swallow things up. Even though it was my diamond, not my entire ring, I also know how it feels to lose a ring given to you by … Continue reading
