Check Out the 2012 People's Choice Nominations Before the Show Airs Tonight!

Becky Kirsch — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 08:02:20 PST

The People's Choice Awards are tonight, so now's your chance to get a good look at who's up for the trophies. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 is dominating the movie categories, especially since there was no Twilight film eligible for this year's awards (though Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson still earned nods because they appeared in other movies). Vampires are still big at the PCAs, at least for the TV categories - The Vampire Diaries and its stars are all over this list. On the subject of the small screen, the awards have brought in another distinction for television: network shows and cable series are now separated (and fan favorite Game of Thrones pops up for its first season).

You'll be able to watch the results when the show airs tonight, and remember: we are LIVE from the red carpet and backstage throughout the show! The live show starts at 5 p.m. PST/ 8 p.m. EST, and you can watch us here.

To get the full list of nominations, just keep reading.

See the Cast of The Princess Bride Reunited!

Becky Kirsch — Fri, 07 Oct 2011 10:24:43 PDT

Good Morning America has been bringing us a new blast from the past each day this week, but today's reunion of The Princess Bride is particularly exciting to me, because the movie is so near and dear to my heart. It's been 24 years since the cult classic was first released, and though Westley (Cary Elwes) and Buttercup (Robin Wright) aren't kids anymore, they're still pretty adorable together. Watch as they talk about their iconic kiss and the film's memorable lines - including one that Billy Crystal ad-libbed himself.

Channel Ivy League Americana With These Designs

Lizzie Fuhr — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 04:00:53 PDT

Fall is here whether we like it or not. To help get you into the back-to-school groove, I've decided to channel some Ivy League Americana into your home. It certainly screams prep, but there's a definite elegance in the look above. Deep rosewood hues and tartan plaid make me smell the East Coast Autumn air. And despite the fact that Thomas Chippendale was a Brit, his iconic, ornate Chippendale design is also a huge influence in this style. His cabinetry was reserved for the upper echelon of society in colonial America.

There's also something strangely Sex and the City about Ivy League style for me. The reason? Charlotte's first husband Troy McDougal! He wore a Scottish kilt at their wedding with a pattern reminiscent of that Red Tartan Plaid Throw ($55). Although that look would be way over the top at my wedding, I suppose I can appreciate the McDougal family's fierce commitment to cultural ties. And of course, we wouldn't be equipped for Ivy League style without those "darling" Mallard Ducks ($60). One of my favorite episodes of the entire series was when Charlotte was attempting to redecorate their apartment in true Charlotte style: both chic and simple. If you recall, Troy's controlling mother Bunny was adamant about the mallards staying. I couldn't help myself from throwing a few into the mix here.

My favorite piece of the lot has got to be the Black Eames Rosewood Lounge Chair and Ottoman (inquire for price). That buttery leather and shade of rosewood pair perfectly in the original 1965 design. It would be a true collector's gem for a swanky home office!

Top 10 Tastes to Tackle in Hawaii

Susannah Chen — Tue, 17 May 2011 05:23:13 PDT

It was the surf and sand that drew me to Hawaii, but one year and two trips later, I can say for sure that it's the food that's gotten me hooked. Sure, New York, San Francisco, New Orleans, and other metropolitan cities are notable dining destinations, but for an entirely enlightening cultural experience, take a trip outside the continental US to visit America's 50th state.

Abundant natural resources and a rich history of Polynesian, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese, and Korean settlers makes Hawaiian food one of the most intriguing cuisines in the world. It's an unlikely mishmash of Portuguese baked goods, Korean barbecued meats, and all-American picnic favorites, which guarantees dining in the islands will never be dull. Here are a few of the state's most iconic bites.

Food Network and Cooking Channel Have Lots Brewing For 2011, 2012

Susannah Chen — Thu, 14 Apr 2011 11:30:00 PDT

Food Network doesn't just have a new wine coming out - it's also got a roster of brand-new shows for both daytime and primetime.

The surprising programming offers a broad range of variety, from the cooking-centric (on the ranch with Pioneer Woman and blogger Ree Drummond) to the reality-heavy (a squabbling, multigenerational family of cookie bakers).

Panda Express Eyes China

YumSugar — Mon, 18 Apr 2011 14:38:51 PDT

After 28 years in America's fast food business, Panda Express is considering doing the unthinkable: expanding to China.

Chairman Andrew Cherng hopes to bring Beijing Beef, Kung Pao Chicken, and other iconic Americanized dishes that've made Panda Express the largest Chinese fast food chain in the US back to the country where he was born. Given that other stateside fast food joints are already enjoying wild popularity in China, we're wondering if the country will spring for Golden Treasure Shrimp, too?

To learn more details about the potential expansion, head over to Slashfood.

Vanity Fair's (and America's) Enduring Love For the Kennedys

Annie Scudder — Tue, 12 Apr 2011 11:45:19 PDT

With young and beautiful British royals capturing the attention of the world, you might think Vanity Fair would finally take a break from America's royalty: the Kennedys. Don't hold your breath. Since 2003, about one-third of VF issues have contained at least one piece written about a Kennedy, written by a Kennedy, or mentioning a Kennedy at least seven times, and Angelina Jolie is the only cover star who can consistently outsell the famous family. Judging by that math, and the constant stream of Kennedy miniseries, there's little doubt the iconic 20th-century family has maintained its superstar status into this millennium. I decided to take a look back at past Kennedy Vanity Fair covers. Check them out now with my slideshow.
