TV Tonight: "'Til Death"

BuzzSugar — Wed, 14 Mar 2007 07:33:24 PDT

I'd almost forgotten about the Fox sitcom "'Til Death" until it turned up this week on Variety's list of "bubble" shows that could be canceled. Guess I wasn't the only one who lost track of it.

The sitcom's fortunes could change, however, now that Fox is trying to boost the show about neighboring married couples by airing it right after the "American Idol" results show on Wednesday nights. If you've seen it, let me know if it's worth checking out. Brad Garrett's facial expressions crack me up, and I've missed Joely Fisher ever since "Ellen" went off the air, so I'm tempted to leave the TV on after "Idol" and give it a shot.

There have been lots of splashy posters for The Hunger Games, and now we have a look at the final poster for the March 23 movie. Featuring just Katniss taking expert aim with her bow and arrow, it perfectly captures the character's bewildered dedication in the face of the fight-til-the-death competition. I'm still eager to see how Jennifer Lawrence portrays Katniss, but until the release I'll settle for these awesome little bits of the film. Excited too? Make sure you've seen all the most recent pictures from The Hunger Games, and check out a bigger version of the poster after the jump.

Tori Spelling Shares Time Management Tips For Moms

Tori Spelling — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 11:31:05 PST

We're excited to bring you a new post from mother and actress Tori Spelling! Every other week we're bringing you the best parenting and lifestyle advice from ediTORIal by Tori Spelling, which is Tori's daily blog about everything from food and fashion to parenting and relationships. Having just given birth to her third child, Tori recently shared her tips for trying to make the most of the hours in the day.

Time, there's always too little of it! As moms, we are especially time-strapped. And if we're working, time is at even more of a premium. Given all the demands placed on us, it can be easy to feel like we're just going through the motions, fulfilling our responsibilities without truly enjoying them. But it doesn't have to be that way. Here are a few tips for balancing your needs with those of your family and your job:

Batch tasks – This is a great tip for increasing productivity in your work life as well as your personal life. For example, if you find that checking email distracts you while you're working, spend an hour each morning cleaning out your inbox, then turn off your email notifications for a few hours and concentrate on the task at hand. If you have a bunch of errands to run, do them all at once. Spend a Sunday afternoon cooking a bunch of dishes to eat throughout the week.
Overestimate – When planning a complicated day with multiple drop-offs, pick-ups, and to-do items, it's best to overestimate how long each item will take. Take everything into account, from traffic to how long it takes your little tyke to pick out socks.

Delegate – Guys hate asking for directions; we hate asking for help. But you can't be in two places at once, so when your calendar gets insane, make sure to get help from your husband or your close family or friends. Remind yourself that it's okay to give control to someone else you trust.
Quality Time All the Time – Even the most mundane tasks can become "quality time." Try to make your daily tasks fun for your kids by allowing them to participate. For example, when you go grocery shopping, let them take an active role in picking out groceries. Cook dinner together and catch up in the car on the way to school. These little moments are the things your kids will remember when they get older. What are your most cherished childhood memories? Chances are they're simple, everyday activities.
Take Care of Yourself – You don't have to book an expensive massage to take care of yourself, although that's a nice treat every now and then. Taking care of yourself is more about allocating time to do things that make you feel good: putting on your makeup in the morning, going for a jog in the evening (bonus points if you're also pushing a stroller), or painting your toenails before the polish completely chips away.
It's also about making healthy choices that are best for you. For example, going to bed early instead of staying up to answer emails will make you a much more productive person the next day. As they get older, your children will admire that their mother is someone who takes care of herself – after all, you are modeling behavior that you want them to emulate someday!
Remember to Breathe – As busy, multitasking women and moms, sometimes we overlook the simplest way to get through our day: taking a moment to breathe. Pausing to focus on your breath can help you to quell nerves and stress or simply clear your mind. Simple, but effective!

'Til Death Do Us Part? Why Couples Renew Their Vows

TresSugar — Fri, 07 May 2010 10:00:00 PDT

Does "'til death do us part" have an expiration date? The whole lifetime commitment concept suggests that wedding vows don't need renewing; after all, a marriage certificate isn't like a library book. But if you're using celebrities as a barometer, you'd think everyone was doing it these days.

Heidi Klum and Seal will hold their annual wedding vow renewal this weekend, while Tori Spelling and and Dean McDermott plan to renew theirs on Saturday. Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon refreshed their marriage last weekend with a glitzy ceremony. Not surprisingly, the real housewives are also jumping on the trend: The Real Housewives of NYC's Ramona Singer is doing it, as did the OC's Vicki.

So do real housewives and husbands do this, and why? For a look at the trend,

In an interview with Redbook, Heidi Klum explains that the tradition is a way for the couple to express their love: "It's so special to us, something we love and something our children have gotten accustomed to. It's like, 'Hey, Mom and Dad love each other and they get married every year!'" Cute, I must admit, but her husband Seal confirms what I suspect is another reason for vow renewal: "it's a great party." Annual vow renewals seem rare in the noncelebrity world, but there are rules about how often you can do it. The Knot suggests renewing your vows on major anniversaries or right after your wedding if you've eloped, but says couples shouldn't renew too soon or too often. Other couples might renew their vows if they got married in a civil ceremony and want a religious commitment, or if they couldn't afford a wedding before and want to celebrate with friends and family. One reason not to renew your vows, according to About.com: because you miss wedding planning and want an excuse to have a party. The Knot also suggests getting dressed up in your original wedding dress - hey, who says you'll never wear it again? But I Do Take Two warns that it's tacky to register for gifts. So what do you think of the concept of renewing your wedding vows: tacky or tasteful? Photo courtesy of Bravo
