Do You Take Paris More Seriously Now?

You guys decided that you were still sick of Paris when she got out of jail, but she's been trying to change her image in the past few months. Next up, she's headed to Rwanda to take her philanthropic efforts to a new level.

Paris recognizes that this is a big undertaking and admitted to Newsweek that she's scared, saying, "I've heard it's really dangerous, I've never been on a trip like this before." So tell us, do you take Paris more seriously now?

Posh and Cruz Leave London

It's so hard to avoid the word cute when we see these adorable pictures of Cruz Beckham taking flight with his cool mom. Victoria and her son were seen this weekend at Heathrow Airport on their way back to the states. David has been busy playing with their other boys but cute Cruz got to spend some quality polo time with Posh. Too bad he doesn't have someone to carry his bag like Victoria does. In case you missed it, check out the sneak peek pics of Posh on Ugly Betty by clicking here.

Satellite Bowl

One of the adjectives I use to describe my taste in home décor is modern, but sometimes I just can't wrap my brain around the contemporary accessories and other home accents I see. Take this Satellite Bowl ($64), which is a circle of lacquered wooden spokes, for example. I don't think I will ever get far enough beyond my traditional décor upbringing to be able to look a bunch of sticks as a bowl—even if the MOMA Store sells it. And yes, maybe that's the point the designer is trying to make, but I just can't. What do you think?

Music Phone Motorola U9

Apparently the RAZR2 isn't the only hot new phone from Motorola. The company has revealed the MOTO U9, which aims to make music a "multi-sensory experience and lets consumers rock out and look good." The phone features Stereo Bluetooth, CrystalTalk Technology, external touch sensitive music controls and animated screensavers that appear on the external display. Like the iPhone the MOTO U9 allows one-touch access to your library and pauses music as calls come through. I like the shape and the function ain't bad either. Pricing details have not been announced.

Jailbird Paris to visit 24 star

A-list wild-child Paris Hilton has reportedly told friends she wants to visit beleaguered 24 star Keifer Sutherland during his time in jail.

Sutherland was sentenced to 48 days in jail after breaching a probation period he received for driving under the influence of alcohol.

According to a friend, Hilton believes she can make the television actor’s time more bearable, thanks to her own experience in jail.

Hilton was sentenced to 45 days in jail on May 5 this year after a string of driving-related offences.

She told Hollywood reporter Barbara Walters in an interview during her incarceration that the experience had taught her to no longer act like a “dumb blonde” and swore to change her pardying ways.

Hilton is reportedly interested in trying to create a TV show from the experience.

Sunday Dinner: Roast Chicken Drumsticks with Garlic

Sometimes you need a great dinner for your family, but only have a little bit of a time to put it together. On days like those, the idea of putting a full roast chicken on the table seems a bit daunting. However, with a little shortcut — replacing a full roast with just drumsticks — you can cut out the excess roasting time and have dinner on the table in 30 minutes. To get the recipe for a quick Sunday dinner, read more

Garnet Hill Pedestal Table

In many homes, I often find that there are a couple of corners or square feet of space that are just plain lonely, from which there's notably something missing. An accent table is a foolproof option for this mini-dilemma, but I'd hate to spend big bucks on something that is just an "accent" and not quite a necessity. So for those of you with an empty nook in your home, I present you with the Garnet Hill Pedestal Table ($34), our Steal of the Day. This cheerful wooden table comes in cool turquoise or sunny yellow, and would raise the spirits of any sad corner.

Music Tube iPod Speaker

Waterproof speakers have long been a hot novelty geek item: They're fun, can handle a little spray from the shower or pool and allow you to enjoy your music in unusual places.

I've noticed recently that most speakers for use in the shower rely on a shampoo bottle-inspired design and this one from Nova is no exception. According to Gizmodo, it was designed to stand free or hang on a hook.

What do you think of the look? Would you use it in your shower?

Jennifer & Jamie Are Still Reigning Over The Kingdom

After going fancy in Paris and London, Jennifer and Jamie ditched their formal wear for a photocall in Berlin for The Kingdom. This marks the fourth country these two have hit in the last week and we can't even imagine how exhausted they must be. At least they probably got lots of quality bonding time in together, although we know Jennifer would rather be with her family or in her hometown.

John Harrington iPod Shuffle: Geeky or Geek Chic?

Designer John Harrington is known for his jewelry, but he is making his mark in the luxury shuffle market with a Diamond shuffle that costs $600. The device is laser etched with Harrington's signature "Renaissance" motif and set with five diamonds. He calls it the "ultimate fashion accessory for the person who has everything." It's certainly less outrageous than the $10,000 shuffle dipped in gold or the $20,000 shuffle covered in gold and diamonds, but it's far from understated. Do you think decking out your devices in gems is geeky, or geek chic?

Research In Motion (the big wigs of BlackBerry) have just announced that the BlackBerry Pearl 8130 features an updated visual interface and lots of wonderful new features.

WTF?! Victoria Beckham Impersonator?

I've being eyeing a blonde with a jagged bob who wears tight ass dresses and puckers a definitive pout. Oh Posh. Wait a second...that's not the Victoria Beckham we all know and love!

At first I thought it was a mere coincidence, but this red dress incident was the last straw that prompted me to do some research. I quickly learned that the Posh wannabe is Chanelle Hayes, a 19-year-old who was a contestant on UK's "Big Brother." Side note: she has reportedly hooked up with David Beckham lookalike Calum Best. Hmmm! This chick really wants Victoria's life, doesn't she? She dresses like her, has her hair style, walks like her, poses like her...hell, she probably even talks like her. I don't know about you, but even though imitation is the best form of flattery, this would creep me out. Do you agree?

  1. You second guess your decisions.
  2. Your critics, once easily ignored, suddenly rent way more head space than they deserve.

  4. Formerly non-existent “What If’s” suddenly spring to mind. A lot.
  5. Before you got outside of your comfort zone, all you could think about was getting your goal, but once outside of it, all you can think about is what will happen if you don’t reach your goal.
  6. You become a textbook example of the infamous “Impostor Syndrome“.

  9. “Positive Thinking” suddenly doesn’t quite seem so, well, “realistic” as it used to
  10. Digg Trolls magically appear to be more intelligent than they really are.

Panasonic's TH-50PZ700U plasma becomes 'best ever tested'

While we've seen Consumer Reports take a gander at a number of HDTVs before, it's been a tick (or maybe "forever" is more fitting) since it's seen "the best flat screen ever tested." Believe it or not, Panasonic's 50-inch TH-50PZ700U plasma was actually the recipient of such sensational praise, and such luxuries as the 1080p resolution (oooh) and its ability to "reproduce the finest details, rich vibrant colors and deep blacks" (aaah) apparently set it way ahead of the pack. Additionally, the screen was so impressive that reviewers actually stated that it "lent an almost three-dimensional look to images," which we figured was only possible with a pair of truly gaudy glasses. Welp, guess we all know which HDTV you're getting next, eh?

Pizza Margherita Two Ways — Beginner & Expert

Eating a perfectly cooked pizza margherita at an outdoor cafe on the streets of Naples is a luxury that I am lucky enough to have experienced. However, just because you won't be heading to Southern Italy anytime soon doesn't mean you can't enjoy a deliciously simple pizza. I've found two stimulating recipes: one for the novice cook, and another for the foodie elitist. However, both recipes require the best quality ingredients you can find. Once you have mastered the pizza margherita, use these recipes as a base for more creative pizzas.

This NEL-designed furniture can be used as a side table, stool, bench, bookshelf, magazine rack, newspaper holder, or as bookends. I can't decide if it's more abstract modern irony or rural craft fair corniness.

Cameron Plays The Field, But Not Just With Ashton

Cameron and Ashton are still hard at work on the set of What Happens In Vegas in NYC. It looks like their characters are having fun wrestling and goofing around, but off-set Cameron has a different man to get playful and flirty with. Apparently she and Bradley Cooper were getting close over the weekend on dates, at parties and football games. Page Six reports:

They dined at Asia de Cuba at Morgans Hotel Saturday night and then hit the "SNL" after-party at Primehouse on Park Avenue South. One onlooker told us the twosome "were very close and lovey. Something is definitely going on, and it's clear they are more than just friends."They were also spotted on the sidelines at the Giants game on Sunday, along with team owner Steve Tisch, Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher.
We knew that Cameron was keeping her options open, and now that John is out of the picture, sounds like she and Bradley are heating things up. This girl obviously has no problem finding a date, but it will be interesting to see whether or not she's ready to get serious again.

Trend Alert: Pears

Maybe it's just because pears are in season here in sunny California, or because I'm still drooling over YumSugar's bubbly pear cupcakes, but I can't seem to get pears off my mind lately. They seem to be everywhere I look these days, and I'm loving it.



Did you know that there are 30 different species of pears in the world? Well, there are, and there are even more home décor items related to the crisp fruit out there right now. From trays and casseroles to handmade pillows, sophisticated pear interpretations are popping up in every category of the shelter market. I'm not talking about Art 101 style still-life paintings of apples and pears organized nicely in a bowl, but updated, modern silhouettes of the fruit as well shabby-chic renditions.

I've trend-spotted more pear finds than would be sane to buy, so click the images below and let me know which is your fruit-bearing fave.

Crockpot Pork Roast

Although summer is over and fall is kicking in, there's still a lot of sunlight each day. During this time of year, where the weather is still nice — at least it is here! — but hearty fall flavors are calling your name, do yourself a favor and make a crockpot meal. Cooking with a crockpot — or slow cooker as it's also known — means that a filling meal will be waiting for you after a full day of playing outdoors. So gather up your ingredients, stick them in the crockpot and enjoy your day!

Did Letterman Go Too Far With The Paris/Jail Jokes?

Paris Hilton visited the Late Show With David Letterman on Friday night and the interview didn't go as planned for the heiress. She was there to promote her new fragrance Can Can and talk about Repo! The Genetic Opera, but Dave just wanted to ask about jail. Paris stayed good natured even though she very clearly wanted to change the subject. She eventually pouted until she got her way, but not before Dave got in a few good jabs. Watch it below and let us know — do you think Letterman crossed the line with Paris?

White Bean Soup

Wondering what to make for dinner? How about a tasty vegetarian soup with Mexican influences? Canned beans allow this soup to come together in under 30 minutes. Poblano chilies pack heat, but a dollop of sour cream balances out the spiciness.

Flavored with cumin and lime juice, this soup is best paired with an icy cold beer or a margarita on the rocks. Double the amount in the recipe and you'll have a great meal to serve while entertaining. Purchase store bought chips and a selection of salsas, then invite some friends over and call it a party.

Do You Share Your Bathroom?


Some of us are spoiled and have a bathroom all to ourselves, and others have to share with a significant (or insignificant) other. Regardless, those few square inches of counter and cabinet space that help us function every morning are valuable, and shouldn't be taken for granted.

St. John and Angelina Say Goodbye?


After her long day of doing good, Angelina was back in mommy mode in NYC yesterday. She headed to pick up Maddox with Z in tow, and judging from her name tag, it looks like Mad isn't the only one who's in school these days. We love that Zahara was keeping it real by rockin' her name tag even after class let out. As for Angie, OK Magazine is reporting that St. John is planning on ending their relationship with the actress who has been their gorgeous model since September 2005. It always seemed like an odd pairing but if the news is true, then we hope that means Angie will be wearing more color in the future. She certainly was looking fresh and happy in all white sporting some fabulous Louboutins.

Cool Idea: NYC's Floating Farm

Since more than half of the world's population now lives in cities, it makes sense that we try to grow more of that food within the cities themselves.

Enter the Science Barge. The barge uses a system of recirculating greenhouse hydroponics to grow tomatoes, lettuce, cucumbers, and peppers. Hydroponics doesn’t use soil, and the barge irrigates with rainwater and river water. The Science Barge itself is powered with solar, wind, and biofuels.

Chicken Pot Pie Two Ways - Beginner & Expert



The days are getting shorter, and I've noticed a cold nip in the air. While it's not yet time to bring out my boot collection, it is time to start making delicious comfort foods. Chicken pot pie, with its creamy filling and flaky crust, is one of my all time fall favorites. It's classic, retro, and soothing-to-the-soul. As tempting as it is to pop a frozen pot pie in the oven, why not take a few extra minutes to make your own homemade version? I've found two tasty recipes: one that comes together easily, and another that is much more challenging. Choose the one that best suits your needs and skills as a cook.

Paris Has A Swede New Import

Paris wasn't ready to let her newest boy escort her to the amfAR Rocks benefit in NYC last night but she met up with him at Butter later on for a few photo ops. We already knew that Paris likes her boys young and international but apparently rich is no longer on her list of requirements. She picked up her 22-year-old Swedish boy toy Alex Vaggo on a street corner outside of his $27 dollar per night hostel and he's already reaping the benefits of hanging out with Paris — she's even trying to score him a gig with Ford Models. Not too shabby for a guy who was just checking out a few of the sights in Hollywood. He'll definitely have a pretty sweet story to take home with him even if it doesn't work out with Paris.

Leafy Autumn Accents

In case you haven't noticed, I get really excited about the arrival of autumn. There's something about the crisp, cool air that makes me want to hang a festive but unfussy wreath and make spiced cider.

Of course, there's nothing more classically autumnal than images of falling leaves, so I've been scouting out some pretty fall accents with a leafy look. The best part about most of my picks is that while they look autumnal, they don't scream fall, so you can also use them year round. Check out my choices below and tell me what you think.

Cashmere Mafia Keeps Us Waiting

Lucy Liu and her Cashmere Mafia co-star Bonnie Somerville were dressed to the nines on the set in NYC yesterday. Patricia Field and the masterminds over at ABC must be hoping to use the characters' elaborate wardrobes to get our attention. It's worked before and therefore they are obviously being compared to the SatC ladies. We can't help but wonder what the shoe discussions would be like if all these working women ran into each other on their sets. Fall TV has just started but unfortunately we're going to have to wait until November to see Cashmere Mafia.

Cheese Board

I love cheese. It is one of my all time favorite foods. Whenever I host an impromptu dinner party, cheese inevitably makes it into the first course. However there is just one teeny weeny problem, I never know what to display the cheese on! My cutting boards are not exactly "party ready" and a plate doesn't do the cheese justice.

To remedy this problem, I've decided I need a cheese board — a little wooden board that I will only use to display and devour cheese. Can you help me find one? Search the web for a cheese board that is rustic and attractive. Nothing too showy, it should be a backdrop to highlight glorious cheeses. Save the boards in the Yum Market on TeamSugar with the keyword tag Cheese Board. I'm looking forward to browsing your finds!

GeekSugar has put together an explanation on how to use the fun bookmarking feature, so check it out to learn more.

Today's question comes from PartySugar, who just moved into a new apartment. She says that she's feeling overwhelmed by her decorating needs. In particular, she's looking for a bright, Missoni-style bedspread that has a little less sticker shock.
To help PartySugar, leave a comment below, or create Casa Cravings for any products or web sites that you think would help. Just be sure to tag your Casa Cravings with the phrase "Missoni Bedspread."

Paris Hilton Goes Leg & Underwear Shopping

Paris Hilton spent the afternoon shopping yesterday, including a stop at Agent Provocateur, which is a good call because it looks like she could use a bra. It doesn't look like Maggie G's saucy ads inspired her to buy anything though. It also would seem that she spent some time clutching her Blackberry Curve as she considered boots that are made to look like a bare leg wearing heels? What even are those? So bizarre, but something tells me if anyone would wear 'em it would totally be Miss Hilton. I'm sure she has room for them in her fitness room turned shoe closet.
