I?ve mentioned this many times before, but I watch cooking shows to relax. I find it so relaxing to watch Ina Garten or Bobby Flay just cook meals in their kitchens. Just straight-up cooking, not those competition shows or whatever ?showdown?. Just let me chill in a chef?s home kitchen so I can watch them make pancakes from scratch. Over the years, I?ve obviously chosen my favorites (Ina) and my least favorite: Giada De Laurentiis. I?ll be fair to Giada she can cook. She?s not, like, Sandra Lee, who uses pre-packaged everything. Giada knows how to cook, she develops her own recipes, she makes everything from scratch.
So why do I dislike Giada? Because at some point, her show just became about ?watch how Giada incorporates cheese into every gdamn dish.? The woman puts cheese in EVERYTHING. She puts cheese in cookies, in cakes, in beef dishes. She puts cheese on vegetables, she puts cheese in or on literally every side dish, main dish, appetizer and dessert. For those of us on the friendly side of lactose intolerant (plus I just hate the smell of most cheeses), it?s flat-out disgusting. But instead of saying to herself ?maybe all of this damn cheese is making me feel sick,? Giada has focused her energy on ?prepackaged snacks are bad.? This is all to promote her most recent cookbook, which is basically a look into her elimination diet.
As Giada De Laurentiis filmed her show Giada at Home, she would spend the day chowing down on rich baked goods and cheese-laded pastas on camera and then subsist on pre-packaged snacks to give her an energy boost during the long days. But it left her feeling bloated and tired. The days filled with heavy foods which shed often end back at home with take-out led De Laurentiis, 50, to reset her diet, which is the focus of her new book, Eat Better, Feel Better: My Recipes for Wellness Healing, Inside and Out, she told Today.
I was snacking on all the wrong foods lots of sugar, caffeine, pre-packaged snacks basically anything that I thought would give me energy to get through the day, she said. My body was paying the price.
The first step, De Laurentiis said, was to pay attention to how she was feeling. I started really listening to my body and eating the foods that loved me back, she said. That helped my body heal itself and also indicated what foods worked for my body and what foods didnt.
For De Laurentiis, that meant meal prepping at the start of the week and batch cooking things like quinoa, brown rice, roasted sweet potatoes or cauliflower, and chicken broth. This made it easy to throw lunches together, she said. Once you have everything prepped, its super-simple to make delicious, nutrient-dense meals in a matter of minutes. I used to shop for what I felt like eating in the moment, but I realized that I wasnt buying the most nutritious ingredients or meals because of it, she explained. Planning meals helps you stay on track and not over-buy.

Oh wow you don?t say, she felt bloated, tired and gross after consuming five pounds of cheese every day? But sure, the problem is ?snacking,? right. I mean, good for her for going with cleaner, simpler foods that weren?t so rich. But you know she?s making brown rice and quinoa and then grating a pound of cheese on top of it. I apologize for sounding so anti-cheese, and I know a lot of people do like to incorporate cheese into their meals, but holy hell. It?s like it never occurred to Giada that the real problem is that she shoves a massive amount of cheese into every dish she cooks? Like, girl, that is why you feel ill.

| | Questions arise about the negligence of Britney Spears' lawyer Samuel D. Ingham | | Added 3 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

The world is still reeling from Britney Spears? statement in court on Wednesday. We all suspected/knew that Britney?s situation was bad, but she laid out in plain terms just how awful it?s been for years, and just how much she?s been used and abused by her father, by her family and by every single person with any kind of power or authority over her life. Another reason why this was such a big moment in Britney?s life is because it will likely jump-start a new era in how her conservatorship functions and it might even end her conservatorship entirely. The problem is that Britney?s lawyer, Samuel D. Ingham III, has still not filed papers to end the conservatorship. Britney?s statement came during a hearing to remove Jamie Spears as conservator and have him replaced with Jodi Montgomery permanently. It was clear from Britney?s statement that she simply wants to be done with all of this though. So why hasn?t her lawyer filed to get the conservatorship removed? That?s the question other lawyers are asking:
Before Britney Spears broke her public silence on Wednesday regarding the long-running legal arrangement that has controlled her life, calling it abusive in an urgent and emotional speech, the man appointed to represent her in court for the last 13 years said he had no role in what she was about to say.
?These are entirely her words,? said Samuel D. Ingham III, a lawyer for the singer since 2008, when she was deemed incapable by a judge of hiring her own counsel. When Ms. Spears said this week that, under the arrangement, she had been forced to perform, take debilitating medication and remain on birth control, among other claims, she drew attention to the question of whether Mr. Ingham had done enough to educate and support his client, as the law requires.
?I didn?t know I could petition the conservatorship to be ended,? Ms. Spears, 39, told the judge during a live feed of the hearing. ?I?m sorry for my ignorance, but I honestly didn?t know that.? She added, ?My attorney says I can?t ? it?s not good, I can?t let the public know anything they did to me. He told me I should keep it to myself, really,? the singer said.
Mr. Ingham did not respond to requests to comment Thursday on how his client?s portrayal of him in court corresponded with his own view of his counsel, and it is unknown what discussions the two have had about whether or how Ms. Spears could ask to end the conservatorship. But the dramatic courtroom moment illustrated their frayed relationship, and the inherent conflicts that exist in a conservatorship system in which Ms. Spears has been forced to pay a lawyer she did not choose for herself.
?It?s certainly troubling that this has gone on for so long if she has wanted to end it,? said Rebekah Diller, a professor at the Cardozo School of Law and an expert on guardianships. ?It?s hard to know exactly what?s gone on behind closed doors, but in general one would hope she has been told that throughout the years, because it?s a critical right she was entitled to.?
Last year, Mr. Ingham began seeking substantial changes in the conservatorship, including some steps toward Ms. Spears?s requested removal of her father as conservator. And in her remarks, Ms. Spears noted that she and Mr. Ingham had developed a closer relationship of late, speaking about three times per week. Still, Ms. Spears said on Wednesday, she wished to hire her own lawyer. After Ms. Spears?s remarks, Mr. Ingham said he would step aside if asked, but the current judge in the case, Brenda Penny, did not lay out in detail what the next steps would be to address Ms. Spears?s concerns about the conservatorship or her legal representation.
Sarah J. Wentz, a trusts and estate lawyer for Fox Rothschild, said that given what Ms. Spears presented in court, she ?can?t even fathom? why Mr. Ingham had not been prompted to file to terminate the conservatorship. ?If he knew what she was saying, he should have been prepared,? she said. ?If he did what a lawyer is supposed to do, he would have met and found out she wants to terminate.?
[From The NY Times]
My guess is that Ingham knows he?s being paid by Jamie Spears and not, technically, Britney Spears. But still, Ingham has a sworn duty to represent his client and his client?s interests. What he did and didn?t do for Britney is not only negligent, it could conceivably get him disbarred, especially if he failed to inform his client about her fundamental human rights. There is absolutely no reason why Ingham did not file a swarm of legal notices when Britney was like ?they?re forcing me to keep my IUD in? or ?they put me on lithium as punishment for not wanting to do the Vegas residency.? There is no excuse for Britney being so uninformed of her rights.

Last September, Christina Anstead (as she was called then) announced rather suddenly that she and Ant Anstead were getting a divorce after less than two years of marriage. If you have a ????? thought bubble over your head right now, congrats on never watching HGTV. Christina Anstead used to be Christina El Moussa, married to Tarek El Moussa, and they were the Flip and Flop couple. They have two kids together, a thriving house-flipping business and a successful HGTV show. When they divorced, they figured out their stuff quickly and stayed in business together. Christina moved on with Ant Anstead, got married and had a baby, and they did a different HGTV show together, Christina on the Coast. No one knows what happened in the Anstead marriage, only that it ended swiftly and the divorce *just* came through. Enter? Renee Zellweger?? My God!
The inks barely dried on Christina Haacks divorce papers with ex-husband Ant Anstead and hes already moved on to a big-time Hollywood star Renee Zellweger!!! Sources with direct knowledge of the situation tell TMZ Ant and Renee met earlier this month when they filmed an episode of his new Discovery+ show Celebrity IOU Joyride.
Well, as luck would have it were told after Ant and Renee filmed their episode she actually returned to the set at some point to drop off some work boots for Ant. Its unclear when exactly they decided to go out, but our sources say theyre doing exactly that now.
The dating news comes just days after we first reported Christina and Ants divorce was finalized. Theyll share custody of their 1-year-old son, Hudson, and Ant has 2 kids from a previous relationship.
Celebrity IOU Joyride is a 6-episode series where Ant and co-host Cristy Lee help celebs give one of their loved ones a one-of-a-kind car transformation. Some of the other celebs include Mary J. Blige, Tony Hawk, Octavia Spencer, James Marsden and Danny Trejo. The series is a spinoff of Property Brothers twins Drew and Jonathan Scotts HGTV hit show Celebrity IOU.

Renee Zellweger remains the most random person and the most random dater ever in Hollywood. You could never predict who she?ll end up with. Who has this kind of dating history: Jack White, Kenny Chesney, Jim Carrey, Bradley Cooper, Doyle Bramhall II and now Ant Anstead?? It?s like she?s picking names out of a hat. Will Christina get her back up about this? Will there be sly references to Renee Zellweger on Flip or Flop? Stay tuned to HGTV to find out! (Honestly though, Renee has a history as an LA house-flipper too, and I could totally see her doing a house-flipping show at some point.)
