Lady Gaga's Hectic Schedule Motivates Her To Eat Healthy
Wednesday, September 1st, 2010 @ 9:00am
Lady Gaga had a few health scares last year that included fainting episodes while she was on tour. Her choreographer LaurieAnn Gibson says that Gaga now takes care of herself by eating healthy. She says:
"It's all about salsa with grain chips, tofu, turkey slices, hummus and coconut water"
She says that despite her strict diet they still know how to celebrate, but in moderation:
"We'll have a toast or two with a little white wine!"


Kate Moss Is 'Jamming'...And Not To Music
Tuesday, August 10th, 2010 @ 10:27am
Supermodel Kate Moss is getting ready to strut her stuff launch her own line of homemade jams. A source reveals (via Celebutante Sisters):
Kate bought a load of expensive equipment because she’s always been keen on the idea of making jam. She has so much fruit on her land she wanted to put it to good use. It started as a hobby, but she’s taking it a lot more seriously after glowing feedback from friends and family. She’s hoping her plum conserve will be a hit with the public.
And Kate is already planning on making her brand of jam a family business -- her seven-year-old daughter, Lila Grace, learned how to make the jam from her mom. The name of the jam is Kate's Damson Jam.
She should launch it on the runway during Fashion Week - have the anorexic super slim models take a bite out of toast with her jam on it at the end of the runway! Or better yet, have it as a snack in the back for the girls after the show (because we know they won't be eating before or during!).

Ashton Kutcher will be putting the fun back into snacking with popchips. A pioneer in pop culture, he will be overseeing popchips' social media with some web videos, online contests, and regular updates from the world of pop culture and beyond.
He will first launch a search for his vice president (job requirements include being able to spell potato). He will keep you posted about the "pop world" through facebook, twitter, and dailybooth.
And can you guess what popchips flavor Ashton favors today? Barbeque. However, if his mood changes or popchips creates another fantastic flavor, he may change his mind - don't worry Ash, there won't any hard feelings. ;)

Friday, July 23rd, 2010 @ 10:00am
I love eating salad, but I hate making it! All the cutting, slicing, sprinkling - ugh. Well I came across this site Rockin' Chef, who shared their 3 simple salad recipes.
Avocado Salad
Serves 2
- 1 ea avocado
- 3 ea slices of white onion
- Splash of White Wine Vinegar
- Salt & Pepper, as needed
Cut avocado in half and remove pit (seed). Cut pitted avocado into slices or large dice. Arrange on a plate. Separate onion slices and layer on top of avocado. Splash a little white wine vinegar on top and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
Caprese Salad Serves 2
- ¼ cup Extra Virgin Olive oil
- Salt & Pepper, as needed
- 2 ea tomatoes, sliced
- 8 oz. fresh mozzarella, sliced
- 1 bunch fresh basil
Rinse basil and dry with paper towel. Remove one of the big leafy sprigs and reserve for garnish. Remove remaining leaves from stem and slice leaves diagonally into thin, long strips (chiffonade). Whisk olive oil and salt and pepper in a bowl. Dip tomato and cheese slices into olive oil dressing and arrange alternately on a platter. Sprinkle basil chiffonade over the platter. Garnish center with big leafy basil sprig. For flavor variety, can also add some minced garlic or red wine vinegar to the olive oil dressing.
