How about a breakfast for 20 cents? Oh and it is delicious.

A new report came out that says oats are the best thing in the morning to get the most furl for the day. And I have to admit that I am not an oatmeal fan (something about the texture that just isn’t tasty). But because it is good for me, I picked up a box of Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal from Trader Joe’s and it’s GREAT!!! It seriously tastes like an apple fritter. It’s all natural flavored so you aren’t chowing down on chemicals. Plus it’s filling and only $2 for a box of 10!

Yep 20 cents a day for breakfast. Aaaannnnnddd it’s good for you!

Mel Gibson is back and doing exactly what we remembered him doing the last time we saw him on the big screen…kicking copious amounts of ass.  The difference now is that he’s older, grayer, and not quite as good as he once was at it.  But you gotta give him a break and let him get his sea legs back.  This is the man who gave us Braveheart, Signs and the Lethal Weapon series.  He also is a masterful, Academy Award-winning director who has given us the amazing The Passion of the Christ and Apocalypto during his acting hiatus too.  He truly is an artist, just not sure why he chose Edge of Darkness as his comeback to acting since he could’ve done much better.  This action flick is the cliche story of a father trying to get revenge or justice or whichever comes first for his daughter, who we see get brutally murdered in the first five minutes of the movie.  You’d think it was a Disney film with how early they kill a loved one.  If you got up to pee or get popcorn before the opening credits start, you may come back and never really know what’s going on.  Shortly after the murder he meets a mysterious stranger played by Ray Winstone (Beowulf, The Departed).  If I could select any voice to have in Hollywood for the rest of my life, it just might be Winstone’s.  His mumbling, raspy British voice is so unique you can almost smell the whiskey coming off his breath.  I enjoy him in every movie I see  of his and he doesn’t disappoint in this either, although he’s not on screen as much as he should be.  The film is carried squarely on the shoulders of Mel and tries to center itself on the mystery of who killed his daughter and why.  The problem with the movie is that for the first two-thirds of the movie, you find yourself not carrying more and more.  Here you have a father investigating the murder of his own daughter and he doesn’t look like he could care at all.  He seems like he’s doing it only because he has too as a detective.  The emotional drive that made the movie Taken with Liam Neison so good was missing from this very similar plot. However, the final act of Edge of Darkness saves it from the downward spiral it was headed in.  That’s rare for any movie, especially action films like this.  Usually if a film sucks through most of it, the ending is gonna get even worse.  But the bloody violence and carnage displayed in the final 20 minutes is representative of the kind of film we wanted from the very beginning.  I feel like that was just a miscalculation on the part of the director, Martin Campbell.  He knows how to do action since he made Casino Royale, which was the first James Bond movie I ever gave a crap about and could actually get through.  I guess he just thought that the story and Mel Gibson acting again (even with a pretty horrible Boston accent) would be enough to make this movie as thrilling as it needed to be but instead brought the Edge of Darkness to the edge of entertainment and pretty much stopped there.  But it’s still good to see Mel on screen again…even if it had to be this.

Here are the 11 juiciest secrets about “Saved By The Bell” Screech reveals in his autobiography:

1. Dustin Diamond has a large penis and has used it to have sex with more than 2,000 women, most of whom he picked up at Disneyland. Diamond’s sales pitch for this book, it seems, is: “As wholesome as ‘Saved by the Bell’ appeared on screen, the exact opposite was happening behind the scenes, and I’m broke and desperate enough to sell everyone out and tell you about it.”

2. Mario Lopez raped a girl, and NBC paid her hush money. Definitely the most damning accusation in the book… but one that Diamond doesn’t hedge (like many of the upcoming points). He flat-out says that Mario Lopez “lured [a girl] back to his pad… and was forced to have sex against her will.”

NBC’s lawyers stepped in to maintain the image of its clean teen stars, though, and paid the girl to be quiet. “And my understanding,” Diamond writes, “is that it wasn’t a boatload of cash, either, somewhere around fifty grand.”

3. Tiffani-Amber Thiessen cheated on the actor who played Johnny Dakota simultaneously with Mario Lopez and Mark-Paul Gosselaar. Thiessen comes off pretty poorly in the book. In this instance, Diamond discusses the famous anti-drug “SBTB” episode — the one where a movie star named Johnny Dakota shows up to film an anti-drug PSA but then tries to get the crew to use drugs… and they stand up to him. Apparently, Thiessen was dating Eddie Garcia, the actor who played Johnny Dakota.

But, little did he know, Diamond says, she was having sex with both of the other male leads of “SBTB” under his nose. In fact, he says, for the entire week of that episode, Thiessen was sneaking off, right under his nose, going from one guy’s dressing room to the other’s. Garcia eventually found out and ended things, because, it turns out, he was nothing like his character and was the most “steadfast dude you’d ever want to meet.”

4. During the “No Hope With Dope” episode, the cast members were all smoking weed in their dressing rooms. Diamond doesn’t reveal that much about the drugs floating around the cast, but does say that “the ‘No Hope With Dope’ episode ended up being a huge hit … I just can’t help but think of all the off-camera drinking and recreational drug use being indulged in by the cast members during that time … I could even smell a certain ’smoke’ wafting from the crack beneath Tiffani’s dressing room.”.

5. Elizabeth Berkley also did both Mario Lopez and Mark-Paul Gosselaar… but only once Tiffani-Amber Thiessen was done. Berkley doesn’t get a ton of ink in the book — you almost perceive that Diamond has sympathy for her post-”SBTB” career being almost entirely a spiral of slut/hooker roles spurred by her decision to do “Showgirls”.

He does, however, mention that, once Thiessen was done with Lopez and Gosselaar, Berkley decided she wanted to get with both of them too. He says “there was a desperation to [her] ho’ing, like she had a lot of catching up to do.”

6. Lark Voorhies then did them as sloppy thirds.  According to Diamond, it took years for “Lisa Turtle to come out of her shell” (and I give him a point for that pun)… and when she finally did, she took her requisite turn on the Lopez/Gosselaar ride.

7. When Lark Voorhies was engaged to Martin Lawrence, he abused her (at a minimum verbally).Diamond suggests that Martin Lawrence did something to make Voorhies even more reclusive and non-communicative.

8. Dustin Diamond had sex with NBC’s VP of children’s programming, Linda Mancuso. Diamond doesn’t go into too much detail about his other 1,999 sexual partners, but one of the NBC executives who oversaw “SBTB” gets almost an entire chapter.

Mancuso was 18 years older than Diamond but, he says, from the moment they met she treated him like an equal. Eventually, as he got older, that turned into a sexual relationship.

9. Mark-Paul Gosselaar confessed to the cast that he took steroids before “Saved by the Bell: The College Years”.

10. Ed “Max” Alonzo used to get gay with Neil Patrick Harris while they talked about magic. Alonzo played the mostly useless character of Max (owner of The Max) during the early years of “SBTB”. Max would always do magic on the show, which corresponded to Alonzo being a magician in real life.

Well… Neil Patrick Harris has always been a big fan of magic. (Now, as an adult, he’s on the board of LA’s famous Magic Castle… and all the magic that Barney does on “How I Met Your Mother” is inspired by Harris’s real-life skills.)

So, according to Diamond, “[Alonzo] wound up spending a lot of time with Harris. A lot of time. For a while they were inseparable, going away to perform magic together, conjuring their mystical spells of enchantment. It wasn’t until years later that Neil Patrick Harris announced he was gay.”

11. Executive producer Peter Engel used to have bisexual threesomes with Tiffani-Amber Thiessen and Mark-Paul Gosselaar in his office. And why not, right?

According to Diamond, Engel was a former cocaine user and Hollywood party scene guy who saw the light and became a born-again Christian. As the showrunner for “SBTB” he banned swearing on set, and refused to let Bayside High be anything short of a utopia that was as clean as Singapore and pure as Walton’s Mountain. (It’s why there was never an episode that broached the topic of teen sex.)

Lately I have NOT been getting a ton of sleep, and if you have an infant you definitely know what I am talking about (and if you ARE getting sleep with a three month old around, email me and let me know your secrets!)

But if you are sleep deprived you may have some dark circles under your eyes. Well, take a piece of raw potato and place it under your eyes to reduce the purple or dark shadows on your skin. After you take the potato off dab a yellow tinted concealer there and you are good to go.

You will look full rested even if you feel like sleeping at your desk.

When you are running late and don’t have time to do full make-up, here’s something that you can do to speed up your routine: play up your favorite feature.

If you have great eyes, just do your mascara and eyeliner. If you have great skin, dust on some bronzer or if you have full lips just do your liner and gloss. By playing up your best feature you put emphasis on your assets and give yourself some extra time.

Bedsides, no one is going to notice your flaws when your best feature is done so well!
