Keri Russell was casual for a walk in Manhattan on Friday afternoon, but by the evening she was dressed up in her usual black for a screening of her film Leaves of Grass. The movie, which costars Edward Norton, hits theaters in limited release Friday after premiering last Fall during the Toronto Film Festival. Keri's had a few projects hit the big screen this year with January's Extraordinary Read more

That double Ed Norton in the title is not a typo; Leaves of Grass stars the talented actor in a dual role, as polar opposite twin brothers. As twins, Norton really goes for it — one twin, Bill, is straight-laced, while the other, Brady, is a mulleted hick with a heavy Southern accent. I've missed Norton's presence, but I'm wondering if this is going to a be an amazing acting opportunity or an Read more

With local and organic food having such a high price tag, it can be hard to eat in a sustainable way. One way I've gotten around the high costs is by joining a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture).
