Star chef Paula Deen, her husband Michael, and her sons Jamie and Bobby share their tips in this week's issue of PEOPLE for getting slimmer and healthier. When Paula Deen finally stopped living in denial about having type 2 diabetes at the end of 2011, she cut down on carbs, cut back on portions, doubled up on greens and dropped 40 lbs. Her family followed suit. First, son Jamie, a dad of two, lost 45 lbs. by "eating like a 6-year-old," he tells PEOPLE. "Six-year-olds eat the right portion sizes!" Next, Paula's 300-lb. husband, Michael Groover, faced a choice: schedule knee replacement surg...

TV Goodbye: Shows That Ended & Shows That Were Cancelled In 2011

December 31st, 2011 12:00pm EST
Canceled and Ended Shows in 2011
Ask the typical American to name 20 currently airing primetime television shows and they probably can't without doing some serious thinking. They'd probably even ramble off a few that were cancelled during the year or the year before without even realizing it.

In 2011 a myriad of television shows come to an end with over 80 leaving the airwaves, most of which you probably never even heard of (some were so small we didn't even include them in this year-end roundup).

Some had tearful goodbyes after long runs (Oprah, Big Love, Rescue Me), and others were canceled so fast we hardly even knew ...

'Human Target' 2.10 'Cool Hand Guerrero' Recap and Review

January 15th, 2011 12:57am EST
Human_Target
I have a feeling that a lot of anecdotes start with Guerrero in a cheap motel. This time, he's making a new ID for a friend, advising him to lay off the cigarettes, caffeine...and drug running. Sound advice.

The following day, Ilsa tells Winston and Chance that she believes Guerrero has gone missing, as she hasn't heard from him in two weeks. The boys are unconvinced, but as it turns out, he's being stopped by the cops in the middle of nowhere. They ask him to pop the trunk on the Cadillac, and his friend Jerry is inside, quite dead. "Dammit, Jerry," he says. "What'd you get me int...

The Best And Worst Of TV 2010

December 22nd, 2010 12:00pm EST
Modern Family
The TV year was filled with ups and downs. Dramas contributed to what some call another “golden age of television.” Some comedies were excellent, while others were repellent. But there are a few sure things: the sitcom is on the upswing, reality is (probably) on the decline, and Conan O’Brien is really, really rich.

The Top 10, in descending order:

10. ‘Project Runway’ – This season sparked emotional highs thanks to Mondo, whose talent and grace (not to mention his poignant HIV background) propelled the show to new heights. But we were also witness to Gretchen, Poison Ivy and Michael ...

What makes an Iron Chef? Being an adaptable culinary master is a given, but there is a world of talent out there in the dining realm—something more must set these select few apart. In the case of newly crowned Iron Chef Marc Forgione, it may have simply been fate. As it turns out, he was given his spot on the show a mere three days before he had to get on a plane and head to Los Angeles.

“The second round [of interviews] you actually go in there, and it’s pretty weird actually, they put you in a dark room and they shine a light on you and you answer questions,” he explained, relaying the e...
