My adorable friend Stephenie (yes, from Survivor) and her fiance, Phillies’ Kyle Kendrick will be featured in The Phillies Family Cookbook. It will be sold at numerous locations…Citizens Bank Ball Park and GIGI restaurant which Steph co-owns. What’s funny about this picture is, I’ve NEVER seen Steph cook, EVER!!! Kyle, how does it taste? And those hats, I can NOT!!! She will be on NBC’s 10 Show this Friday to promote the cookbook!

Kadashian Sisters coming out with a book

What are the Kardashian sisters up to now??

Kim revealed that they are writing a book, and calling it Kardashian Konfidential.

“It’s going to [have] lots of fun tips and stories and everything about relationships; it’s a little bit more of an in-depth look into our lives, even though people think that they’ve probably seen everything. We’re just being super-candid and sharing lots of pictures and fun stuff,”

The book will come out Nov. 23

- Did you hear the Golf Channel’s anchor flub the word “disk” when describing Tiger Wood’s injury? She meant to say “bulging disk” and instead said, “d!ck”. Oops! Watch below (FYI: no clue why the video looks reversed)

Tiger Woods is expected in Newtown Square, Pa. on today for media day for The AT and T National Tournament set for July.

He is scheduled to face the media at 2pm.  But a golf clinic he was expected to hold has been canceled due to neck pain.

Whether or not Woods plays in The AT and T Tournament remains to be seen.  It’s two months off and it will be necessary to have a complete evaluation and a treatment if there is a problem.

Tuesday Tidbits

- I don’t know why this is such a big deal but Entertainment Tonight is bragging that they have worldwide rights to the first images of Sandra Bullock without her wedding ring. WOW! I mean, is that a shocker? They are going to show the photos tonight on their show.

- The Octomom is on Oprah today. Her and all her 14 kids. NUTS. I’m going to watch, even though I can’t stand her laugh.

- Alicia Keys is your mentor on American Idol tonight at 8pm on FOX. I LOVE HER! I just went to her concert in AC not too long ago. Check out a clip from her concert below:

- Right after Idol, the cast of Glee will be covering Madonna songs on tonight’s episode.

- Will Kate Gosselin be booted from Dancing with the Stars tonight? She scored the lowest AGAIN last night with 15 points. Eeek! BTW, Kate did over 400 appearances for her new book and it’s tanking. Right now, it’s #425 on Amazon.com’s best seller list.

- Oprah has finally spoken out about Kitty Kelley’s unauthorized biography about her life. She was at the Matrix Awards Show where Gayle King was being honored and in her speech, she said this:

“Last week was a rough week for Gayle when a so-called biography came out. Every day she’s getting herself more and more worked up about all of my new daddies that are now showing up. New daddies who are saying, ‘Hello daughter, call me, I need a new roof.’ Well, this too shall pass.”

Wednesday Tidbits

The code expires April 1. If you order by today at 1 p.m. PST choose expedited shipping to get your chocolates by Easter.

- Usher has just released a brand new video for his new single, “OMG” featuring will.i.am. The song is off his freshly released album, Raymond V Raymond, which is currently in stores and available on iTunes. He was also the mentor on Idol last night. Tim Urban definitely has to go! He’s awful.

- NEW MOVIE: Kind of odd for a Wednesday but The Last Song, starring Miley Cyrus is out today. The Last Song was written by Nicholas Sparks, who also penned The Notebook and A Walk to Remember.  The movie co-stars Greg Kinnear and Kelly Preston as well. For me personally… not in the mood for a sappy love story.

- A comic book about Ellen DeGeneres’ life is coming out today, and a part of the proceeds will benefit a good cause, the Humane Society of the United States. It’s about Ellen’s love of animals and her wanting to be a veterinarian as a child.  The comic is in stores now.

Picked up a new book today called “Redeeming Love”

I’m not a big fiction reader but I wanted to start a new book and one of my best friend’s recommended this one. She says it’s one of her all time favorites. I have a lot of TV to watch tonight for work so I’m going to start it this weekend. I’ll let you guys know how it is…

Here’s what Amazon.com had to say about it:

In this splendid retelling of the biblical story of Hosea, bestselling author Francine Rivers pens a heartbreaking romance between a prostitute and the upright and kind farmer who marries her; the story also functions as a reminder of God’s unconditional love for his people. Redeeming Love opens with the Gold Rush of 1850 and its rough-and-tumble atmosphere of greed and desire. Angel, who was sold into prostitution as a child, has learned to distrust all men, who see her only as a way to satisfy their lust. When the virtuous and spiritual-minded Michael Hosea is told by God to marry this “soiled dove,” he obeys, despite his misgivings. As Angel learns to love him, she begins to hope again but is soon overwhelmed by fear and returns to her old life. Rivers shines in her ability to weave together spiritual themes and sexual tension in a well-told story, a talent that has propelled her into the spotlight as one of the most popular novelists in the genre of Christian fiction. This is one of her best. –Cindy Crosby
