Melissa d'Arabian's Helpful Hints For Feasting on a Budget

YumSugar — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 14:00:31 -0800

Of all the year's celebrations, Thanksgiving often is the most expensive. In 2008, roughly a quarter of you said you were spending $150 or more. This year, to help you stay well within your budget, we've enlisted the help of Melissa d'Arabian, winner of the Next Food Network Star and host of Ten Dollar Dinners With Melissa d'Arabian.

On her Food Network show, Melissa makes dinner for four for under $10 - and her Thanksgiving is no different. She's partnered with Walmart to come up with a turkey day feast that's only $20, and plans to serve it to her own family this holiday. "My family is really getting the $20 thanksgiving!" she says. Regardless of how much you've got in your wallet, she has some pointers to help you stay under budget. See them when you read more.

Justin Stays in the Network Frame of Mind

PopSugar — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 14:00:51 -0800

Justin Timberlake held on tightly to his script yesterday as he arrived for another afternoon on the LA set of The Social Network. He came in a fedora and a plaid shirt, but it didn't take long before he was suited up to get into character as one of Facebook's founders. JT's stay in California has allowed him to have some quality time with Jessica Biel, even though she spent her Friday partying without him.

Food Network Aims to Entertain With 2010 Lineup

YumSugar — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 11:30:20 -0800

Looks like Food Network's switching gears to focus less on cooking expertise and more on entertainment. On the roster for 2010: more Brian Boitano, and a new show, Worst Cooks in America.

Worst Cooks in America, which premieres Sunday, Jan. 3, features 12 "hopeless cooks" who are divided into two teams, one under the tutelage of network vet Anne Burrell and the other led by Arizona chef Beau MacMillan.

The show's premise: bad cooks undergo a five-week "culinary boot camp" where they will learn kitchen techniques from Burrell and MacMillan that they must apply in weekly elimination challenges.

After the contestants have been narrowed down to two, they will compete for a grand prize of $25,000 in a final challenge that has them preparing a three-course meal for a panel of food critics who think the dishes have been prepared by chefs Anne and Beau.

For even more entertainment, Brian Boitano fans should also stay tuned for the return of the Olympic medalist, who's back with a second season of the screwball show What Would Brian Boitano Make? in March. Will you tune in to watch either of these shows - or are they too far a departure from the classic cooking shows that once dominated Food Network?

Justin Makes His Way Back on the Social Scene

PopSugar — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 16:30:00 -0800

Justin Timberlake took a stroll around the LA set of The Social Network yesterday. He had a moment of solitude on his walk back towards his trailer, which was a change from his super social weekend with Jessica Biel. Justin and Jessica are going through some stuff in their relationship, but at least she's back in California after being away in Vancouver filming The A-Team. She had a girls'-only night yesterday, though, when she joined her Valentine's Day costar and crush Jennifer Garner for dinner at Madeo.

Status Update: Justin Is on the Set of The Social Network

PopSugar — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 17:00:41 -0800

Justin Timberlake brought Jessica Biel along for last night's star-studded Jay-Z concert, but today he was up bright and early to report to the LA set of The Social Network. Production on the film was underway last week in Maryland, but shooting has switched over to the West Coast for now. JT's career in film seems to be moving right along, as he also just picked up a role in the upcoming Yogi Bear movie. In not-so-great news, Justin is getting more wrapped up in the legal drama surrounding a woman who was recently accused of stalking him.

Should There Be an Age Minimum For Social Networks?

GeekSugar — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 15:44:06 -0800

Social networking sites have long been popular with teens, and now researchers are saying they're becoming increasingly popular with younger kids, too. I don't think anyone's surprised by the findings; though both Facebook and MySpace require users to be at least 13 years old when signing up for accounts.

A researcher quoted in the CNN article says:

"Of course they are [using social networking sites]. They're using them because that's where their social world is. Because there's no effective way to age-verify . . . children very quickly realize, 'I just say I'm 14 years old, and they'll let me use this.' "

Researchers are split on the long-term effects of allowing younger children onto the sites. Some say that early exposure to the sites can lead to Internet addiction in adults; others say that most younger children use the sites in moderation, and in positive ways. The article also quotes parents who have allowed their kids to lie about their age to create profiles, though they also require their kids to surrender their passwords, and monitor the kids' activities and friends. What do you think about age restrictions on these sites?
