What's Your Favorite Gaming Food?

GeekSugar — Thu, 09 Aug 2007 14:00:00 -0700

YumSugar has informed me that Pringles will be rolling out their new concept called Pringles Stix next Spring and will be celebrating the arrival of the wheaty treats by teaming up with Nintendo and going on a seven city tour.

The tour, which will stop in Charlotte, Greensboro, Raleigh, Jacksonville, Atlanta, Montgomery and Birmingham, will offer hungry gamers free samples, a look at a new Wii game called Boogie and a chance to win a Wii Game Kit, includes the console and wii-mote, some Wii points and likely some Stix.

The talk of gaming and Pringles got me thinking about gamer food. You're probably not eating a gamer candy bar every time you whip out the Playstation, but what do you grub on?

Do Tell: What Are Your Favorite Thanksgiving Traditions?

TresSugar — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 08:00:13 -0800

Thanksgiving is almost here, and it might just be my favorite holiday. Every year my family gets together for a big party at my aunt's house. I always look forward to the classic food like turkey and mashed potatoes, but I also love the dishes specific to my family, like my mom's spicy jalapeno cranberry sauce or the creamed onions made according to my grandma's recipe. After dinner, we all head to the living room hoping to beat our food comas with a spirited game of charades.

These are the traditions that I will be looking forward to all week. What Thanksgiving traditions do you enjoy?

Amy Looks Like She's Added Fuller Lips and Freckles

PopSugarUK — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 01:42:42 -0800

Hot on the heels of her recent breast augmentation, Amy Winehouse showed off what appears to be a fuller pout as she left a clinic in London yesterday. BellaUK wants to know: what do you think of her freckles and plump pout? She looks happy to flaunt her new assets and we know her dad Mitch thinks her new boobs are great. Mitch has revealed that Amy loves to play games like Pictionary and Boggle, and he's also spoken on his new series for Living about Amy's shock at Rachel Adedeji's exit from The X Factor last weekend, saying:

"Amy and I and the family were watching X Factor and when Rachel got knocked out – we thought it was a complete disaster. We were having a lovely dinner – I was having a chicken vindaloo and Amy was having a chicken Korma and we almost choked – almost put us right off our food. Almost but not quite…"

What do you think of Amy's changing face and figure?

Kate Hudson Gets Candid About Men and Botox in Elle

PopSugarUK — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 03:58:26 -0800

Kate Hudson is looking super fit and toned as she stars on the front cover of December's issue of Elle magazine! She talked to them exclusively about a range of subjects from her upbringing, to her rumoured engagement and her thoughts on cosmetic surgery. Here's some extracts from her interview:

On boys: "I sometimes feel like when you’re talking to boys, they just hear certain keywords. But if you had a bubble above their head, they’d be thinking about game scores, masturbation and food... I love boys, but I believe they’re really simple. Every guy likes to say that they’re complicated, but they’re so easy to figure out. What did that Dr Laura say? Something like, 'All men want is sex and for you to make them a sandwich.' I thought that was really funny – and not entirely untrue."
On her rumoured engagement to Alex Rodriguez: "Did you know that it was this one [ring], on my right hand? I hear about this and I’m like, 'Why would I even respond? What would I say if you’re going to lie about something ridiculous?' And if you really did your job, you’d look at the pictures taken that day and realise it was on my right hand."
On cosmetic surgery: "I was in a press conference once, and someone says, 'So, I can tell you’ve never had Botox!' Is that a compliment? Or are you trying to say I’m starting to get wrinkles? I literally was like, 'What?' Everyone’s so obsessed with who gets Botox, but it’s great! Are you kidding? The fact that women can avoid going under the knife, and get a little Botox treat and not have to worry about it? I’m glad it’s there for when it’s time."

To see what Kate has to say on her upbringing and the joys of being a girl, just read more.

On her upbringing: "I grew up in a family where, if you felt any kind of suffering or sadness, if you didn’t go there and really understand it and delve into it, you wouldn’t understand what it was like to be really joyful."
On the joys of being a girl: "I love being a girl. I love clothes and I love the rituals of facials and body treatments, all the stuff girls get, make-up, scarves, hats... And we’re like a tribe. That’s just our nature. You get a group of women together and, somehow, we keep it together. I love that we can be that powerful, as a group. Men, you know, it’s survival of the fittest."

Kate's full interview appears in the December issue of Elle, on sale tomorrow!

Host a Name Game Healthy Potluck

FitSugar — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 12:00:00 -0700

Eating healthy has become my full-time job, and I'm not going to lie to you - I'm lacking in the creativity department. I mean, how many times a week can I make pasta primavera, tacos, and grilled chicken? If you're desperate for some healthy new meal ideas, why not tap into your friend's brains?

Invite your buddies over for a Name Game Healthy Potluck dinner. Everyone has to bring a healthy food or dish that begins with the first letter of their names. So Susi could bring grilled summer squash and salmon, Brian would bring tomato and basil bruschetta, and Jenny would bring juice smoothies for dessert. Make sure they know each dish needs to be made from scratch with real ingredients. It should be low fat, low in cholesterol, low in sodium, or low in sugar. Have people make copies of their healthy recipes, and not only will you leave with a tummy full of nutritious food, but you'll also have a stack of new ideas to add to you repertoire.

Pants Dance Video Game by Subway

FitSugar — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 02:00:00 -0700

If we could all really "digest" the message of a healthy lifestyle/diet from a video game, life would truly be sweet. So sweet in fact we would probably never overindulge in cake and milkshakes. Ahhhh, what a dreamer I can be. Cake, milkshakes and even french fries are just a few of the items to avoid while playing the online video game produced by Subway titled Pants Dance. The pants in the title are Jared's, of course.

The spokesman for Subway's healthy sandwich line is retiring his famous fat pants that were featured prominently in print and TV ads. Jared has kept off the 245 pounds that he began losing ten years ago. To celebrate, Subway created a video game where you try to catch healthy food including yogurt, water, and of course Subway sandwiches as well as sneakers and dumbbells, in your pants to lose weight. However you must also avoid unhealthy foods and the accessories of unhealthy lifestyle choices, which include a video game controller.

Hats off to Jared for taking the weight off! The game is fun, but the message is even better. I wouldn't waste my time on the game. I would actually put on my sneakers and grab my hand weights for a circuit workout. But that is just me.
