Tonight's premiere of Fringe got me thinking about creator/executive producer JJ Abrams and his pretty stellar track record on television. In the past decade, Abrams has created or co-created four shows (Felicity, Alias, Lost, and now Fringe) and executive-produced two others (Six Degrees and What About Brian). Many of those shows had ratings success and/or significant buzz, and all of them Read more
Chelsea Clinton sat down with Brian Williams on his nightly Rock Center show to explain why she's leaving behind her "deliberately private life" for a journalism career. But before she got personal last night, Chelsea reported on former-educator Annette Dove, who has committed her life to helping impoverished children in Pine Bluff, Arkansas with hot food, tutoring, and someone to talk to.

For the second year in a row, the Recording Academy has given a hip-hop artist the most Grammy nominations. Last year, it was rapper Eminem with eight, and this year, Kanye West leads the nominees with seven chances at the golden gramophone, including a song of the year nod for "All of the Lights." West is also nominated twice in the rap album of the year category for his collaboration with Jay-Z Read more
There's always a feeling of confusion when a major retailer goes bust, but what we really want to know is what it means for us and how we'll be affected. American Airlines announced it was filing for bankruptcy this morning, which leaves loyal customers wondering what's going to happen to their miles and if it's going to be harder to book a flight with them. Here's a quick roundup of burning Read more
Emma Stone stepped out in Brian Atwood stilettos and a beaded Chanel outfit for tonight's Beverly Hills premiere of The Help. Emma was joined on the red carpet by the entire cast of ladies, producer Nate Berkus, writer Kathryn Stockett, and director Tate Taylor. The film, based on Stockett's best-selling novel, takes place in the South and all of the stars couldn't stop raving about their Read more
We are pumped to share one of our fave stories from Self here on FitSugar! If you've seen the new svelte Jennifer Hudson (that's "J-Hud" to you) in Weight Watchers commercials, you know that the transformation from "hopeful" to "diva" can be a big change. And not just from a physical standpoint. That's why — whether readying clients for class reunions, weddings, new jobs, new chapters, or Read more
Zach Calkins is Senior Vice President of Culinary Innovation at sandwich chain Quiznos, where he tracks food trends and develops new products for the sandwich market. Here's what he did on Monday, July 18. 6:30 a.m.: I got up, made a latte, and let Hazy, my labrador, out. I started thinking about the day, what I had to get done. I fed Hazy, and was out the door by 7:30, heading downtown to the Read more
I'm not going to lie . . . I can be a picky girl when it comes to decorating. I have very specific ideas about what looks good, and what falls outside of that category, I tend to qualify as "poor taste." But generally, rather than focusing on those things, I support and showcase the design that I do love and do find in good taste. Sometimes, though, I wish I had the — excuse my French — balls Read more

You can watch the first episode online here, and then Read more
