Celebrity Diets: What the Stars are Eating

It is the job of a celebrity to look good, that’s simply a fact in this image-obsessed culture of ours. How do many of them do it? Here are a couple hints: it’s not through QuickTrim and it’s not through the Duggars Tater Tot Casserole Recipe . That thing is really high in calories. For most stars, it’s all about diet, as revealed below. Read on to learn how certain females maintain their figure through special meals or snacks… Ashley Tisdale eats fresh fruit for breakfast, along with an egg white omelet and whole wheat toast. The pros to this meal? Lean protein and whole grain, along with natural sugar. Lauren Conrad snacks on a plate of hummus, sliced turkey, cucumbers and apples. Healthy and filling! Annalynne McCord cooks citrus chicken for dinner, often with pasta and a side of spinach. The latter’s fiber, folate and vitamin K is ideal for one’s immune system. Miley Cyrus goes with Mexican, but her secret is to use whole wheat tortillas instead of flour ones, and also to it fill them with skinless chicken in order to pack in the protein. Can you ever sneak in a chocolate chip recipe ? Absolutely, but it’s all about moderation, people!

Where Do I Vote, American Electorate Wonders

It’s Election Day 2012, people, and according to search engines far and wide, a broad swath of the American public has one pressing question on its mind: Where Do I Vote? If you don’t know the answer to this, here are FIVE helpful tips: If you haven’t moved since last election, it’s probably the same place. If you only registered to vote in 2012, your city or town’s confirmation of that application should contain the location of your polling place. Go to your state’s elections website. There should be a field to enter your address and find out ASAP. Call your city/town hall and ask the nice old lady who works there. Drive over to your local elementary or middle school. It’s probably there. Just go after 4 p.m., because if school is in session and that’s not the place, then you just look sketchy. Hope that helps. So who ya got??   Barack Obama-Joe Biden Mitt Romney-Paul Ryan View Poll »

Marlee Matlin Slams "Insulting" Saturday Night Live Sketch

Marlee Matlin is very unhappy with Saturday Night Live . The Oscar-winning deaf actress took to Twitter this week and slammed the show for one of its most recent skits, during which the series mocked New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s sign language interpreter, Lydia Callis , for her animated expressions. “Millions of deaf people use sign. Why poke fun/fake it? Poke fun at ME but not the language. Would they do that to Spanish or Chinese? FAIL,” Matlin wrote. Matlin is a member of the National Association of the Deaf and explained there’s a contrast between actual signing and the parody depicted on SNL . “Here’s my point. Deaf people HAVE a sense of humor. Ever see me on Family Guy or Seinfeld ? But faking signs that we use isn’t the same,” the Celebrity Apprentice finalist said, adding: “Imagine if a show started making fun of Spanish (using fake Spanish) or Japanese. Do you think they’d actually get away with it? Uh, no.” What do you think? The Saturday Night Live sketch was…   So funny! So wrong! View Poll »
