It's For Charity - LAST DAY TO ENTER!

This is it folks!
Who is the hottest couple of the season? What about the must have accessory? Are gladiator sandals the trend of the year? Or is it the summer scarf? Have your vote counted in INO's Summer survey!
It's not all about hot beach bods and celebrity moms to be. This is a survey with a cause! INO will donate $1 for every completed entry to Tupperware's Chain of Confidence initiative. SO, by taking a few minutes out of your day to have a little fun, you will be contributing much deserved funds to Camp Confidence!
As you know, it's just little old me owning this site. I'm not a huge corporation, so I have to max the donation at $2,500. But that means that 2,500 people will have to take the survey. I hope you are one of them.
Survey will run for 7 days and then I will publish the results for all to see.
Let's Go Shopping With Katy Perry

One of my fashion writers had the chance to peek into the stores and accessories that have taken Katy Perry from trendy to trendsetter. Here is Elyn's review:
---
By now most people have heard of Katy Perry, the super-hot singer/songwriter/musician currently co-headlining the Warped Tour, who's single hit I Kissed a Girl is #1 on iTunes and the Billboard Hot 100 and whose fantastically fun new album One of the Boys is this summers break out hit ... oh, and lets not forget the amazing shout-out she got from Madonna live on the radio!

But what most people don't know about Katy is how cool her style is! With her Lolita meets Joan Jett stylish mix of vintage & sunburst colors she's setting new trends daily & I wanted to let INO readers in on her secrets, so I found her favorite spots to shop:
First up is Pop Killer, where all the cute Japanese girls & true Harijuku lovers shop in LA. It's filled with cool vintage pieces, interesting accessories -- their 'brick' old-school cell phone bag is an absolute must-have! -- &, best of all it's open until midnight!

Next on her go-to list is Shareens Vintage which has racks of amazing one-of-a -kind vintage and re-worked dresses ... & to keep shoppers focused, there are no men allowed! If you're in LA you MUST check it out ... and, unlike most vintage stores, you CAN purchase online via their brand new eBay store (go their website which links you directly)!!!
And her final insider tip is Coquette. As Katy told MySpace,
"This is where I come when I need something that's going to blow everyone away... It's where all the stars go to get styled."
And she's right! Everyone from the Olsen's to P. Diddy have been seen in their vintage couture outfits. And while they don't have an online shop per-se, if you see something you like on the web-site or have a certain outfit in mind, use the contact form & they will do their best to track it down & send it to you.
And if you'd like to sample Katy's look without spending too much, just follow her 5 fashion must-haves & you can snag her style at a store near you:
- Anything with fruit
- Neon, neon, neon
- Onesies
- Big bows
- Strapless dresses

To check out her music, go to Katy Perry and for her blogs, interviews, videos & tour dates check out Katy's MySpace.
BAM! I Interviewed Emeril Lagasse

Emeril Lagasse, renowned chef, restaurateur and America’s beloved expert on everything flavorful, will be featured in a new television campaign that will help re-launch Crest Whitening Expressions, a line of uniquely flavored whitening toothpastes. The toothpaste flavors are so tasty--- they might just be bigger than BAM!
In the ad campaign, Emeril is assisting Crest Whitening Expressions to look for the new Expression. The advertising introducing the contest will debut in mid September.
I had the opportunity to interview the chef and had a blast doing it. He is as personable as you think. Below is the complete story. Yes, I say story because I can't believe how much I typed this last hour. ;) I asked him things I always wanted to know from a chef. Does he eat Fast Food? Are his kids good eaters? And where the heck is his NYC restaurant?!And yes, I blurred the pic because I didn't really like the way it came out. It's not your eyes playing tricks on you.
------
Are there any other restaurants in the works? I live in NY and would love to hear you have one opening in the city.
There’s none in the forecast. I work in NY enough. I do television here and now with my responsibilities with Martha and MSO, there is just a lot going on here. There are actually no expansion plans for restaurants in any area.
You are continuing your partnership with Crest. I hear there is a new contest in the works where viewers are going to attempt to replace the Bam?
Well, I don’t know if you could ever replace the Bam. (Laughs) But we are going to see if someone can come up with another phrase Crest can use to sum up their new flavor.
Who cooks at home? In all honesty.
I do. I do about 95% of the cooking. My wife is a great cook but like she says, why do I have to?
Especially because she married a chef! How about your favorite family meal? What do your kids enjoy eating?
My kids love food so you know. We are one of those families that we get up and the first thing we are talking about is what we are having for dinner. They like steamed mussles to roast chicken to pasta bolognaise. They really eat.
Is it ever just a mac and cheese night in your house?
Rarely. We eat a lot of fish. When we are here in NY we live in a great neighborhood. It's one of those streets that has a great butcher shop and fish shop and a cheese shop. So my kids are really exposed to that kind of stuff. They know Saturday especially is a big day. We go together and we shop for good fish and whatever else we are going to have for the weekend.
What are their ages?
I have two older daughters and then I have a 5 year old boy and 3 year old girl.
How do you get the three year old to try new food? I'm asking because I have young children.
You know, I think that it starts from the top and um, I think that really unless there is some sort of medical problem or allergy problem, kids should be exposed to all type of food. When you live in a household that is putting their nose up to green beans or Brussels sprouts; there is really nothing that my kids don't eat.
They don't eat a lot of lettuces just because of the texture. They just haven't figured it out. But they do the cucumbers and tomatoes. They really just eat about each vegetable.
One thing I like to tell parents is - a great way to introduce and expose your children to different vegetables is to put it all in a good soup – a homemade soup.
A whole lot more after the jump. Click on the continue reading link below to continue.

Indian Jones & The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull Movie Stills

I. Can. Barely. Contain. My. Excitement! Okay fine, I can't contain it at all. I'm a huge fan of Indiana Jones and I'm so excited about the new installment with the extremely talented Cate Blanchett and Shia LeBeouf. After looking threw the movie stills I am just as eager to watch it and thankfully it's coming out this Friday. Anyone planning on seeing it? I know I am going to do everything in my power to be first in line. But babysitters need to play nice in order for the plan to actually work.
