Happy 4th to anyone who celebrates it! I'm going to time-stamp a bunch of stories and spend the day eating an insane amount of grilled food. The more burnt the better. YUM!

While on IMDB looking for the Gyllenhaal synopsis, I came across a great poll that they are running. If you had to choose to vote for one fictional US president, who would it be?

• Morgan Freeman - Deep Impact
• Harrison Ford - Air Force One
• Martin Sheen - The West Wing
• Geena Davis - Commander in Chief
• Bill Pullman - Independence Day
• Michael Douglas - The American President
• Jeff Bridges - The Contender
• Peter Sellers - Dr Strangelove
• Henry Fond - Fail-Safe
• Kevin Kline - Dave
• Mary McDonnell - Battlestar Galactica
• Jack Nicholson - Mars Attacks!
• Gregory Peck - Amazing Grace and Chuck
• Gene Hackman - Absolute Power
• Donald Pleasence - Escape from New York
• Dennis Haysbert - 24 

I'm a lock between Dennis Haysbert and Harrison Ford... although I think I would literally PAY to see Jack Nicholson take the job.

So let me get this straight. I can go to this restaurant and sit on a toilet bowl while I chat with friends and order dinner? Then my food comes in miniature versions of the can? WHAT?

Earlier this week I got an invitation to attend a press event for holiday gift guides. Even though I don't do gift guides, I decided to attend just to see what is new on the market.

Lots of fun stuff that I wanted to share.

• Snack Tracker - AMAZING PRODUCT FOR PARENTS - helps you understand portion sizes for your children in a fun and easy way
• Blurb - You can make your own books! I'm currently doing one for my daughter's third birthday.
• C'Watre - Oceanic skincare line - WONDERFUL.
• Destination Dinners - I am literally ordering from this later on in the week. All the ingredients you need to make an international feast.
• Furminator - I use this once a day on my boy dog! It really works on your furry pets.
• Robeez - Everyone knows this brand. Great shoes for your pre-walkers.
• isABelt Ltd. - Clear thin belt when you need to wear one, but don't want to show it

Kate Hudson on The View talking about Lance Armstrong.

Can you guess who this doll is supposed to be? I will give you a hint. Actually, I won't because it is so far off from the real deal, that it just isn't fair. LeAnn Rimes! WHAT? Us Weekly put together a slide show showing celebrities and their dolls. It's comical how much the two do NOT look like one another.

He may not know what a onesie is, but Keith Urban sure has his favorites. When asked if Nicole Kidman  started to purchase some goodies for their unborn child, Keith mentioned one in particular that he seems to enjoy.

When reporters told him it was likely a "onesie," Urban, who's expecting his first child this summer with wife Nicole Kidman, looked puzzled and asked, "A what?" Sheepishly repeating the new word, he said, "I'm learning a new vocabulary. We also got a tiny T-shirt that says 'I crawl the line' that we like a lot."

It's actually really cute considering Daddy is a country singer! Click here to check the onesie out.

 

I just found a link of 50 plus places to buy groceries on the Internet. I use PeaPod, but a lot of people are still looking for something in their neck of the woods. Just in case you are one of them...

Not celebrity gossip - but this was too cool to pass up. A new fruit that makes anything taste sweet including tabascos, citrus wedges, cheeses, Brussels sprouts, mustard, vinegars, pickles, dark beers, strawberries and cheap tequila?? WHAT?

The berry rewires the way the palate perceives sour flavors for an hour or so, rendering lemons as sweet as candy.

The NY Times did a write up - click here to learn more about this West Africian fruit. I can't wait for the next party! Wish I heard about the LIC one.

Thanks mom!
