I had the chance to talk to the author of The Dead Celebrity Cookbook Frank DeCaro this week. You may know him from his Sirius XM radio show The Frank DeCaro Show or his time as a movie critic on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.
The book is a resurrection of recipes from more 145 stars of stage and screen. Frank has been collecting hundreds of recipes of celebrities that have passed and put them together in this great book to share with all of you.

E! channel’s Kristin Dos Santos of Watch With Kristin was live blogging Friday from the set of Grey’s Anatomy.
Kristin tweeted this pic and said, McFuntimes. Patrick and Caterina. This is our first look at the latest cross over episode of Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice. I think the episode is going to be something with Cooper’s baby mama. I think she will have something happen with the brain tumor sooner than she expected and they will rush her to Seattle Grace where both the Shepherd’s will step in. No matter what it is I’m sure it will be good!
I recently reported that Drew Barrymore got engaged!
She sat down with Access Hollywood’s Shaun Robinson at the “Big Miracle” press junket where her ring seemed to be the center of attention. Shaun asked how her fiancé Will popped the question and if it was a surprise?

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again Ryan Seacrest is taking all the jobs in Hollywood and if that weren’t enough now he is set to launch his own cable network…who does he think he is Oprah?
Us Weekly says he is teaming up with Mark Cuban, concert promoter AEG and Hollywood talent agency Creative Artists Agency to revamp billionaire Cuban’s HDnet into AXS TV.
AXS TV (pronounced ‘access’) will feature behind-the scenes coverage of concerts, red carpets and award shows. This has been three years in the making for Seacrest.
“We’ve been diligently working with our partners AEG and CAA to strategize and explore how we could deliver quality live entertainment and lifestyle programming to a large audience,” Seacrest said in a statement Wednesday. “HDNet is the perfect partner to help us translate our vision into a reality, giving us an instant reach into 35 million homes when we rebrand the channel and launch AXS TV.”
Seacrest who produced shows for E! with the Kardashian series will produce shows for AXS.
When Glee’s upcoming Valentine’s Day episode airs, Glee fans will finally meet her two gay dads. Their identities have been concealed the first two seasons.
TVLine.com’s Michael Ausiello is reporting the series has cast Law & Order: Criminal Intent’s Jeff Goldblum and Broadway vet Brian Stokes Mitchell in the roles of Hiram and LeRoy Berry.
Appearing in the February 14 episode titled “Heart,” Berry’s adoptive parents will also reportedly sing.
Brian Stokes Mitchell is an amazing singer and known for his roles on Broadway. I know he can sing I have never heard Jeff Goldblum sing. I hope they bring in the laughs. Hopefully they will be worth the wait.
For the first time in seven years, this years Grammy Awards will have an official host, and has asked two-time Grammy winner LL Cool J to do the honors.
I don’t know how he will do as a host. He has hosted the live Grammy nominations concert show each year since 2008. I would have picked Jimmy Fallon or a comic type that loves music but we will have to see.
“I’m thrilled to be part of Music’s Biggest Night,” he said in a statement. “I will always have fond memories of my first Grammy Awards and to now be hosting the Grammy show, in the company of so many other incredible artists, is a dream come true.”
The 54th Grammy Awards, airing Feb. 12 on CBS at 8 p.m. ET/PT, will feature previously announced performers and current Grammy nominees Jason Aldean and Kelly Clarkson, Foo Fighters, Bruno Mars, Nicki Minaj, and Taylor Swift.
ur contributions to this earth are never erased…the spirit lives on… RIP Etta James
