Ina Garten: Love Her or Leave Her?

I was disappointed to hear that one of my favorite Food Network personalities, Ina Garten (or the Barefoot Contessa), has turned down the request to cook with a Make-A-Wish cancer patient.


I was disappointed to hear that one of my favorite Food Network personalities, Ina Garten (or the Barefoot Contessa), has turned down the request to cook with a Make-A-Wish cancer patient. Apparently, a 6-year-old boy with leukemia asked to cook with Garten not once, but twice — and he was repeatedly told no. According to Garten's reps, the Hamptons chef is currently too busy to meet with the boy. For years, I've been a huge fan of Garten and her reliable, delicious recipes. However, this makes me wonder if it's just an act. How do you feel about her?

Update: It turns out that Garten wasn't aware of the boy's request and she has agreed to meet with him and his family!

Sarah Silverman: Love Her or Leave Her?

Comedian Sarah Silverman is an acquired taste; her Comedy Central show is rife with the controversial humor that she's long been known for, and surely, so is her new book, The Bedwetter: Stories of Courage, Redemption, and Pee.

Comedian Sarah Silverman is an acquired taste; her Comedy Central show is rife with the controversial humor that she's long been known for, and surely, so is her new book, The Bedwetter: Stories of Courage, Redemption, and Pee.

Silverman is a polarizing personality, due in large part to her fearlessness in jokes about race, sexuality, and bodily functions — just read how she describes the word vagina. If that's your cup of tea, then you're probably already watching The Sarah Silverman Program, and if you are, you'd better mobilize: it's in danger of being canceled, with a Twitter campaign going on to save it.

What are your feelings on Ms. Silverman?

Tori Spelling: Love Her or Leave Her?

The actress formerly known as Donna Martin was a star of one of the hit shows of the '90s, but Tori Spelling is still a household name thanks to her Oxygen series with husband Dean and their two kids.

The actress formerly known as Donna Martin was a star of one of the hit shows of the '90s, but Tori Spelling is still a household name thanks to her Oxygen series with husband Dean and their two kids. Tonight Tori and Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood kicks off a fifth season, once again letting us into the lives of the family. This time, however, it looks like the stress of fame is really getting to the couple, as Tori and Dean have a tear-filled talk about their troubles (complete with melodramatic background music). Check out the preview:

Watching this, I can't help but think there's something kind of likable and relatable to Tori. Heck, even I'm a little angry at Dean for nearly getting himself killed! Where do you stand?

Martha Stewart: Love Her or Leave Her?

Martha Stewart is an ex-model, ex-con, and the ultimate do-it-yourself hostess.

Martha Stewart is an ex-model, ex-con, and the ultimate do-it-yourself hostess. She's built an empire out of teaching people how to entertain, cook, and craft.

It's obvious that's she's not afraid of making waves, and she recently rocked the boat when she dissed Rachael Ray on Nightline.

Although some people don't like her, I've always been a huge fan and have nothing but admiration for Martha. How do you feel about her?
