Rebecca Romijn gets engaged to Jerry O'Connell; Diddy apologizes to Tyson Beckford; H&M drops Kate Moss over coke pix
Jerry O'Connell and Rebecca Romijn have confirmed reports they are set to get married. Earlier this month, reports said the couple were planning a low-key New Year's Eve ceremony, and while they won't confirm the date, they admit they're planning to become husband and wife. O'Connell, 31, proposed to Romijn, 32, over the weekend in the New York City apartment he grew up in. They say in a joint statement, "We couldn't be happier and are looking forward to the next chapter of our lives." Romijn's divorce from actor John Stamos was granted in March, almost a full year after their split was announced. She began dating O'Connell last year. .
Francine Hemway Delivers The Secret To Weight Loss In Her Breakout Book, Beauty And The Yeast Beast: From Fat To Fairy ...
After spending more than forty years overweight, obese, and morbidly obese, Francine Hemway discovers how to lose the weight and keep it off. The solution: Defeat the Yeast Beast. Chester, Nova Scotia (PRWEB) November 20, 2007 -- With the Diet Industry grossing 30 billion dollars a year, one cannot help but wonder why obesity is a leading cause of preventable illness and death in North America. In her book, Beauty and the Yeast Beast, author Francine Hemway tackles this growing epidemic. Told from a 40 year struggle with obesity, Hemway explains that the underlying cause of diet failure syndrome is a microscopic demon known as Yeast. The premise behind her book is that Yeast, a member of the Kingdom Fungi, has invaded and increased in our bodies. She explains that "Yeast, a natural inhabitant of your body, only becomes a threat when it is allowed the opportunity to grow out of control." Diet Failure Syndrome persists because the yeast waits for you to start consuming food it needs to grow.
Displaced family brings a piece of New Orleans to their new home
As the fall season reached its peak in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, tourists flocked to photograph the blaze of colors in the forests, gaze in wonder at the black bear family foraging for food by the side of the road or hike deep into the woods to enjoy the peaceful roar and natural beauty of the Grotto Falls. .
Hey, kids — let's put on a show!
Sit back. The house lights have dimmed. Watch MC Kevin Joyce — genial, impassioned, occasionally zany — introduce a very eclectic show. Mississippi Delta blues played by guitarist Del Rey. Biting humor from comedian Rod Long. Ethereal music by Seattle Harmonic Voices followed by the wacky Juggling Jollies. Joyce, in his dark, new suit, standing under the white neon lights inside the Columbia City Theater, is our human conduit to this local cable-TV program called "Big Night Out." The one-hour variety show, airing on the Seattle Channel, hearkens back to early 20th-century American and European entertainment. Something familiar to anyone weaned on those TV variety shows of yesteryear: Perry Como. Ed Sullivan.
