What to Download: New Music on iTunes

BuzzSugar — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 15:30:30 PDT

Tuesdays are big in entertainmentville: Not only do all the new DVD releases hit Netflix, but new music also pours into stores, including iTunes. So I take a spin through each week's iTunes music releases and pick out some albums and tracks worthy of a download. Here are today's selections:

A little rock: I added this album from The Walkmen to my list of must haves for August because I'm a fan of their dark, boozy rock - but I know they can be an acquired taste. The new album, You & Me, has already won me over with singles like "In the New Year" and "Postcards from Tiny Islands." This album might not be the biggest deal of the year but I remain a fan and am definitely adding this to my iTunes library.

Earth to music lovers!: Yippee! New Dandy Warhols is finally here and their sixth album Earth to the Dandy Warhols is getting some mixed reviews. Rolling Stone says the album is a "misstep" while the Guardian calls it their "most self-assured set yet." What to make of such diverging opinions? Well, it will always be difficult for them to top "We Used to Be Friends" in my heart but we've all agreed that "World The People Together (Come On)" is great, and this other new track called "Love Song" is totally sweet (I think I hear banjo!). So, we'll have to judge for ourselves but honestly, I'm already sold.

Two more singing ladies, so

read more. A refreshingly mature voice: If you've ever been even the slightest bit ~~addicted to~~ charmed by a Rhianna song in the past, you will probably enjoy Karina. I just happened to stumble across her debut album and for someone so young her music is good, and it's not just about, you know, sneakers. Songs like "16@War" are danceable and lyrically interesting. I also might listen to "The Love We Got" secretly. . .maybe. . .OK fine, I bought it and I like it.
Sad and pretty: Yeah, it's lonely and a little sad, but the music from Juliana Hatfield's new album is also really pretty and wonderful. It's exciting to have her music here and available for my bus-riding. We already got a peek at "This Lonely Love," and I'm now digging "Remember November" because I have Novembers I hope certain people also remember. . .

Diet Tips From Dancing With the Stars

FitSugar — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 06:00:00 PDT

If you're following this season of Dancing With the Stars, you've probably noticed the dancers' amazingly toned and strong bodies in their sexy and revealing costumes. If you're wondering how they stay fit and lean, here are some of the dieting secrets they shared in a recent issue of Us Weekly.
Melissa Rycroft says, "I eat what I like in moderation and try to have a few small meals throughout the day."

Julianne Hough says, "I eat only until I'm full." She eats five small meals throughout the day, and during the show she tries to cut out carbs and sweets. She doesn't restrict herself entirely, though, and says, "If I want to have dessert, I'll have it. I know I'll work it off."

Shawn Johnson loads up on fruit and protein, but if she has an urge for chocolate she says, "I'll satisfy my craving and move on." She stays slim and muscular by dancing eight hours a day.

Denise Richards trained with her partner Makism Chmerkovsky and got her abs back after having two kids. She went from a size 26 waist to a 24 from all that training, and was still eating pizza and ice cream.

To see how the other dancers stay trim,

She also limits her carbs because she says, "I love fries and bread, but I see a real difference in my body when I don't eat them after 5 p.m." She'll still enjoy dessert when out to dinner with her boyfriend, but just a small portion. Lil' Kim gets her meals and snacks from Freshology, a food delivery service. She eats a total of 1,200 to 1,400 calories a day, avoids heavy foods, and drinks a lot of water. Lacey Schwimmer shed 10 pounds by ditching fatty foods and soda, and instead enjoys grilled chicken, steamed veggies, yogurt, and fruit. She recommends eating within an hour after working out. Cheryl Burke dropped 10 pounds as well, by rehearsing eight hours a day, five days a week. She eats egg whites, whole grains, veggies, and lots of water. She also tries to avoid salt, and keeps snacks with her to avoid temptation. Karina Smirnoff avoids meat but eats egg whites, fish, and salad. She has a tablespoon of olive oil on an empty stomach to help with digestion. Holly Madison avoids liquid calories and drinks water instead. Edyta Sliwinska sticks to 1,500 calories a day, eating foods such as cottage cheese, ground oats, berries, chicken salad, and cereal. She avoids pasta, bread, rice, and candy. She gets her toned legs from dancing in heels. Source
