If this turns out to be true, would you be buy tickets if the Jackson 5 reunion tour comes to your neck of the woods?

Charlize, Jonah, Kristen, Alexander, and More Make Up a Star-Studded WonderCon Weekend

Lauren Turner — Mon, 19 Mar 2012 18:28:05 PDT

The stars came out for WonderCon in Anaheim, CA, this weekend. Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum kicked things off on Friday, when they attended a panel for 21 Jump Street in their police uniforms. Jonah talked about working on the movie for five years and said that it's "f*cking crazy" to finally have it being released. The hard work paid off since 21 Jump Street topped the box office with a $35 million opening weekend.

Saturday brought out a whole new crop of celebrities with Charlize Theron and Kristen Stewart showing up to promote Snow White and the Huntsman along with their director Rupert Sanders, who called Kristen a "tough cookie" on his way into the event. Emma Stone debuted lighter locks during her appearance for The Amazing Spider-Man, which Andrew Garfield was unable to attend because of his Broadway run in Death of a Salesman. Brooklyn Decker and Alexander Skarsgard paired up for press on their May release, Battleship, while Joseph Gordon-Levitt was all smiles showing off his sci-fi film Looper, which he also coproduced. Joseph explained his current situation in the industry, saying, "I made my money on a sitcom. I don’t have to take jobs to support myself. I’m still cashing my 3rd Rock checks." Charlize was back in front of an audience with a new costar, Michael Fassbender, later in the day to chat up their horror movie, Prometheus. Yesterday was all about the small screen, though, since Joshua Jackson was on hand for Fringe while his girlfriend Diane Kruger attended an event in Miami.

Get Smart About Soy

There are so many ways to get this good-for-you protein into your daily diet. Here's how to do it - and why you absolutely should.

By Sally Kuzemchak, RD

If you bypass tofu at salad bars, skip the meatless dishes at Chinese restaurants, and avoid edamame when you're out for sushi, well, it's time to give soy-based foods a second look. "Whole soy foods are a great substitute for meat," says Christine Gerbstadt, MD, a spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.

Their healthy protein content makes them a good option even if you're not one of the growing number of people going "flexitarian" or opting to eat less meat.

Here's your guide to making this legume a regular and great-tasting part of your diet.

Soy 101
All soy products are made from soybeans, mostly grown here in the United States. You can buy whole soybeans dried or canned, or in the produce section or freezer aisle as edamame, the common name for soybeans picked before they're fully mature. (Edamame can be purchased either in pods or shelled.)

Beyond whole beans, soy takes on a number of different guises. Roasted soybeans are sold as soy nuts or ground into soy nut butter. Soybeans can be soaked in water, cooked, and filtered to make soy milk and soy yogurt. Adding a coagulant to soy milk curdles it, producing tofu, which ranges in texture from "silken" (very soft) to "extra firm," depending on how much liquid is removed.

Soybeans can also be fermented into a paste called miso (the base for miso soup) or a cake or patty called tempeh, which is often used in place of meat in sandwiches or grilled and eaten on its own. Finally, soy can be found in many packaged foods - such as frozen meatless burgers, cereals, and energy bars - often in the form of "soy protein isolate," meaning it's mostly the protein from soybeans you're getting.

A Love Advice Columnist Has a Major Crush (on Her Home!)

Elka Karl — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 11:07:16 PST

Advice columnists are used to answering questions - though usually not about themselves. Today, love advice columnist Wendy Atterberry of Dear Wendy is revealing her crushes and love for all things home-related. Wendy lives in Brooklyn, NY, with her husband, Drew, their baby boy, Jackson, and their two cats, Simone and Miles (who make a cameo in the photos here). Keep reading to see what Wendy has to say about why she's majorly crushing on her home.

What she most loves about her home:

It's a tie for my favorite spot in my home between my bedroom (and specifically, my bed), and my "china cabinet" wall. My husband, Drew, and I painted all the walls in our place, inspired by the colors of the beach, so I love the shades of green in both spots. We have a king-size bed, which feels like a luxury, and I love Sunday mornings when all five of us - Drew, our new baby Jackson, our two cats, Miles and Simone, and I - all pile in the bed and read books, nap, and talk. Drew and I love to travel, so above our bed we framed postcards of all the places we've traveled together in the nearly six years we've known one another. The china cabinet in my other favorite spot of the apartment belonged to my great-great-grandparents and I just love it. It's filled with lots of glassware for entertaining, which is something we enjoy doing. Everything else in that spot is a second-hand buy, found at garage sales or thrift stores, with the exception of the gray wool blanket on the bench, which I found somewhere online.

What others love most about her home:

Probably our "bar," which is usually pretty well-stocked thanks to generous friends who bring bottles of stuff whenever we have get-togethers. People also comment that our place is "cozy," which could also be a euphemism for "small," but here in New York where most places are tiny, I like to think it's a genuine compliment.

What she'd love to add to her home:

Luckily, we already have most everything I'd want in a home - a walk-in closet, a big bathtub, a dishwasher, central air, and a washer and dryer. We even have a large balcony, which is pretty awesome in the warmer seasons. But if I could wave a magic wand and make this truly my dream home, I'd add one more bedroom (and maybe an elevator!); our second bedroom - now our baby's room - is awfully small and one day we'll outgrow this place, which will be sad. More realistically, I'd love to change the light fixture in the dining area, which is pretty ugly. We're renters, so it doesn't make sense to put any more money into the place, but if we owned, that would be the first - and maybe only thing - I'd change. Oh, and more original artwork. Oh, and a hammock! If only money were no object . . .

It's true that there are certain times in your life when extra poundage seems to appear out of nowhere . . . and settle on you. In fact, experts have honed in on the exact moments when you're most vulnerable to weight gain.

"Life transitions, having a baby, and going through menopause cause many women to pile on pounds," says Susan Albers, PsyD, author of But I Deserve This Chocolate!: The 50 Most Common Diet-Derailing Excuses and How to Outwit Them. "But with planning and prep, you can stay thin."

Getting married

Heavier ever after? It can be the flip side of wedded bliss: "Six out of 10 of my clients come back heavier after the honeymoon," says celebrity fitness and wellness guru David Kirsch.

Health.com: 25 Diet-Busting Foods You Should Never Eat

Young newlyweds pack on an extra six to nine pounds in the five years after getting hitched compared to singletons, according to research from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. And most of that gain happens in the first year of marriage.

"Couples start to mirror each other's eating habits," explains Albers. "You might be matching him calorie for calorie without realizing it."

Best of 2011: Most Stylish Celebrity Couple of the Year

Brittney Stephens — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 12:53:41 PST

High heels, diamond earrings, leather pants - when it comes to superb style, sometimes the best things really do come in pairs. We saw some pretty fashionable couples hitting the red carpet this year, and there are five in particular that had our hearts racing. Parents-to-be Beyoncé and Jay-Z turned it out at multiple awards shows and industry galas and showed covetable street style as well. Another musical pair, Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale, stepped out in cool, rocker-chic ensembles, while the Beckhams solidified their place in fashion royalty by donning stately, classic British looks. Tom Brady took his chiseled physique off the field, hitting the red carpet with bombshell wife Gisele Bundchen - and he clearly picked up some model poses from her. Diane Kruger's enviable style may have rubbed off on her beau, Joshua Jackson, this year as well - the pair attended fashion and film events looking effortlessly chic and perfectly complementary. So tell us - which celebrity couple had the hottest style this year? Click through and cast your vote now!
