Taraji P. Henson came by to talk about the upcoming release of the Oscar-winning film The Curious Case of Benjamin Button on DVD and Blu-ray.

Directed by David Finch, the film is based on the 1921 F. Scott Fitzgerald short story of the same name. It chronicles Benjamin Button's--played by Brad Pitt--extraordinary life as he ages backwards; being born an old man who was diagnosed with several aged diseases at birth and thus given little chance of survival, but who does survive and gets younger with time. Abandoned by his biological father and after Benjamin's biological mother died in childbirth, Button was raised by Henson's Queenie, a black woman and caregiver at a seniors home.

Henson was nominated for an Oscar for her star-turning role as Queenie. The film garnered three Academy Awards, including Best Art Direction, Best Visual Effects, and Best Makeup. Henson is also acclaimed for her roles as Yvette in Baby Boy and Shug in Hustle and Flow.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button will be out on DVD and Blu-ray on May 5.

TV host Ricki Lake stopped by the studio to talk about hosting VH1's Charm School and her new book Your Best Birth: Know All Your Options, Discover the Natural Choices, and Take Back the Birth Experience.

Charm School with Ricki Lake takes some of the outrageous women from VH1’s other reailty shows Rock of Love Bus with Bret Michaels and Real Chance of Love. This season, Lake's challenge as headmistress is to transform these selfish, poorly behaved ladies into selfless angels through various acts of charity by the end of eight weeks.

Lake's book Your Best Birth comes after her documentary The Business Of Being Born and is a collaboration with Abby Epstein, the film's director. According to Amazon, "Asserting that the high tech, low touch trend in medicalized births has usurped parents' sense of power and choice, they present options that women should consider, including home birth and the use of a midwife or doula.

"The authors discuss the pros and cons of such interventions as episiotomies, epidurals and electronic monitors, and encourage women to carefully question their practitioners and hospital personnel. Above all, the authors advocate a safe and empowered birth, whether one chooses a hospital, home or birth center."

For more information on the Hastings-on-Hudson native visit http://www.mybestbirth.com/. Charm School with Ricki Lake airs on VH1 on Monday, May 11 at 9pm and her book Your Best Birth is available in stores now.

Actor and actress Boris Kodjoe and Nicole Ari Parker will be participating in the R Baby Foundation’s Mother’s Day Run/Walk this Sunday.

The couple will join more than 6,500 regular moms, dads and kids as they walk, run, or stroll in Central Park to raise money for R Baby Foundation, a non-profit organization committed to increasing the standard level of pediatric emergency care.

R Baby was founded by Andrew and Phyllis Rabinowitz after losing their 9-day-old daughter Rebecca Ava to an undiagnosed, untreated viral infection that was missed in the ER. R Baby wants to make sure that all emergency rooms are equipped to handle infants and children in the event that they contract illnesses such as the swine flu, or get into accidents.

You can take part in the event by joining the walk in person and running the 4-mile race, do the 1.3-mile health walk, or have your 2-12 year old kids participate in the kids’ fun run. Even if you can’t be there in person, you can be there in spirit by joining the walk virtually and of course, you can always make a donation.

Kodjoe is best known for his role as courier-turned-sports agent Damon Carter on the Showtime television drama series Soul Food. He was named as one of the "50 Most Beautiful People in the World" by People Magazine in 2002. His wife, Parker, was his Soul Food: The Series co-star.

Hi Everyone,

This is the final week of my second trimester. I'm feeling great and things are already starting to happen. I'm definitely in the nesting phase and anything you put near me will be organized, cleaned and put away. I think I'm driving my husband crazy :) Well, I'm sure I already did that along time ago. Ha!!

In regards to the baby, its eyelids have finally open and I guess my little one is taking a look at it's tiny surrounds. I hope the baby is comfortable and happy. It's weird but I worry about everything. Am I eating enough vegetables and fish? Am I exercising enough? I guess this is the begining of feeling guility all the time. Welcome to motherhood, hugh!

Speaking of all the time, this baby is very active and it kicks all the time. In fact, something funny happened this week. Eric asked the baby to kick once if it was a girl or twice if it was a boy. Well, the baby responded and it kicked once. I could not believe it and it made me laugh out loud. We still don't know the sex of the baby so this was our non-scientific experiment.

On a side note, I've also been addicted to the Discovery show, Babies: Special Delivery. They're kind of scary to watch so I'm hoping those classes at Real Birth will help out.

I'll keep you posted and let's hope the rain stops and the sun comes out.

Happy Mother's Day to all you moms and moms-to-be out there. I'll be thinking of you.

- Sukanya

Ofcourse Ricki Lake prefers hair spray to hair gel...Any fan of her gets why I asked that question...If you don't get it; then forget it. It's so not a big deal.

Since she's the new host of VH1's Charm School, I thought she would say that it's her favorite reality show too. She didn't. She thinks it would be a shameless plug. I personally don't think so because I'm pretty sincere about how I absolutely have no shame in my game.

So if there's one thing I learned from Miss Lake, it's to have some standards. I can't promise anything, but I'll work on it. There are other things you can learn about her if you watch this video of her getting GRILLED. Watch and Learn!

Maria Conchita Alonso was once Miss Teen World, then went on to become Miss Venenzuela...oh I'm not done, she then later came in 5th or 6th place at the Miss World pageant. Okay, I've never ever ever been close to being Miss anything, unless Miss-take counts.

She's not all looks though. Miss Alonso was here to talk about her Lifetime movie MANEATER. And talking to her just showed me how sweet, smart and talented she is...But the most surprising fact ashe revealed bout herself didn't surprise me one bit. It's way tooo obvious. See if you notice when she gets GRILLED!

If I met Gary Coleman and said What you talking about Willis? I'm pretty sure I'd get punched in the forehead. Maybe not as high as my forehead, I'd probably get punched in the knees. But you can say wax on, wax off to Ralph Macchio all you want, and he wouldn't mind.

Believe me, I did. But he didn't get annoyed. I was expecting some sort of Karate Kid kick to come my way. I got a lot of smiles...There's absolutely nothing ugly about Ralph Macchio who's also appearing on Ugly Betty.

Oh another thing, I'm not sure what it is he's eating or drinking or doing...but he doesn't age AT ALL. I told him he needs to bottle something up and sell it because people (like me) will definitely buy it. If he does, Botox manufacturers will maybe get some not so fine lines and wrinkles as a result of the yet-to-be determined Macchio Ageless Serum...I sound like I'm pimping him out, I know. But I'm not getting paid (yet) for this endorsement, cross my heart. Anyways, check out the video of Ralph Macchio getting GRILLED.

I LOOOOVED him on Wings as I'm sure millions more did. And from movies like Single White Female, those Stephen King horror movies, and tons and tons and tons of TV appearances. Oh he's also been on Broadway and now he's back on the great white way playing an under-achieving English teacher in The Philanthropist...that's what he came on the show to promote.

And you know if you stop by the PIX11 morning news, you have to get GRILLED by moi. My first question? Single White Female or Single Black Producer (haha!) I really did ask hat. Watch the video for his response. IN YOUR FACE SINGLE WHITE FEMALE, IN YOUR FACE!!!!! (says single black producer)

Hi Everyone,

Here we are at Week 27 and things are going great. I'm starting to feel Braxton Hicks and, by the way, what a crazy feeling.

Braxton Hicks are simply the pre-contractions that prepare you for labor and delivery and well it is a reminder everyday of what's to come. The baby is also moving a ton and sometimes I feel so much pressure, it's an incredible feeling. It's kind of like getting the wind knocked out of you.

Other than that, Eric and I are doing great. My mother is throwing a shower so preparations are underway for that. I will get some pictures up when that happens.

Hope you all have a great weekend and I will see you soon.

Vegas headliners Penn and Teller are tackling the small screen with their new magic-debunking reality series, Penn & Teller: Bulls***!

These magicians' mission is to expose the truth behind magic tricks to an otherwise gullible public. In Penn & Teller: Bulls***!, the crusaders utilize principles of magic and trickery, as well as good old fashioned "hidden camera" sting operations, to expose to the public how traditional magicians and tricksters operate.

In a deeper vein, Penn & Teller have discovered that the evidence debunking bogus operatives exists in countless books, scientific papers and government-sponsored exposés - research that nobody else has presented to the public with such zeal, passion, and conviction. It is Penn & Teller's self-proclaimed mission to "shoot down whack-jobs and fuzzy thinkers."

Penn & Teller's Vegas act offers a fusion of illusion and comedy. Penn Jillette is a raconteur; Teller generally uses mime while performing, although his voice can occasionally be heard throughout their performance. They specialize in gory tricks, exposing quacks and frauds, performing clever pranks.

Penn & Teller: Bulls***! airs Thursdays at 10pm on Showtime.

He's the Cool Hand Luke of TV hosts, definitely the coolest guy on Spike TV this season with his new show Jesse James Is A Dead Man.

That's right, this time he's going for it all, the big deep six, code blue, el muerto - this time it's gonna take more than a couple broken bones & some crazy stunts to off this dude.

But before it all starts... or ends, we had a few secs to grill Mr. James about some of his favorite things like muenster cheese & watching Travis Pastrana do a double back flip on a moto from about 10-feet away... Check it out...

PIX's Emily Frances spoke to actor Shawn Wayans about his latest comedy spoof, Dance Flick. We recently spoke to the film's director (and his nephew) Damien Dante Wayans and co-stars Shoshana Bush and brother Marlon Wayans.

• EXCLUSIVE: Full Interview With The Wayans Brothers

Dance Flick follows the Wayans' trend of parody films, like the Scary Movie series, and pokes fun at movies like Save The Last Dance and Hairspray. The movie focuses on street dancer Thomas Uncles (Damon Wayans, Jr.), who is from the wrong side of the tracks, but his bond with the beautiful Megan White (Shoshana Bush) might help the duo realize their dreams as the enter in the mother of all dance battles. Shawn Wayans plays Baby Daddy.

Wayans is an actor, producer, comedian, writer, and director of movies. In the past, he has likewise teamed up with his brother Marlon Wayans, in movies such as Scary Movie, Scary Movie 2, White Chicks, and Little Man. The siblings starred the sitcom The Wayans Bros from 1995 'til 1999.

Dance Flick opens in theaters on Friday, May 22. For more information, visit www.thedanceflick.com.

Jobs are plummeting in the Big Apple. Here to show you how to use the tactics of honest spin to find employment, in this tough job market, is our old friend Ara Chekmayan, an expert on public relations and job acquisition and the CEO of Tactical Public Relations.

For years we've heard the term spin as applied to politics, celebrities, athletes, etc. What is spin? It is - when honestly done - merely presenting facts in the most advantageous light for the person presenting them.

Here are five keys that we've identified where using public relations tools can help a person find work in a tough economy:

1. Your appearance must be impeccable. Think of President Barack Obama. His campaign for president was a masterpiece of public relations. Think of his image. Whatever the circumstance, he was always both impeccably and appropriately dressed. He is also in great physical condition which exudes energy and ability.

When you interview for a job - especially in the current environment - assume plenty of competition and make sure that when you walk through the door your appearance says, "I am the best for this job."

You do not have to dress lavishly but for an office job, for example, a pressed navy blue suit, white shirt, well shined shoes and neat haircut are going to speak volumes about you.

Emily spoke to the stars of the film Easy Virtue, which makes it American debut this Friday, May 22. Star Jessica Biel plays Larita, an American who marries an Englishman.

"The twenties have roared... the thirties have yet to swing. John Whittaker, a young Englishman, falls madly in love with Larita, a sexy and glamorous American woman, and they marry impetuously. However, when the couple returns to the family home, his mother Mrs. Whittaker has an instant allergic reaction to her new daughter-in-law," according to the movie's official page.

Video Link To Jessica Biel's Seductive Striptease From Powder Blue *WARNING* NSFW

"Larita tries her best to fit in but fails to tiptoe through the minefield laid by her mother-in-law. Larita quickly realizes Mrs. Whittaker's game and sees that she must fight back if she's not going to lose John. A battle of wits ensues and sparks soon fly. Mrs. Whittaker manipulates every situation to undermine her, while Larita remains frustratingly calm and engineers sassy counter attacks. Before long, Mrs. Whittaker' s manipulation starts to work on John and Larita feels their love is in danger of slipping away"

Easy Virtue premieres in select teathers on Friday, May 22. For more information, visit easyvirtuethemovie.co.uk.

Hi Everyone,

I hope you are all doing great. I'm on Week 28. It's hard to believe how quickly time is flying by. So many things happening emotionally. Talk about being overwhelmed sometimes! The body is starting to feel heavier and I definitely have the pregnant woman waddle :) . Sometimes, when I catch myself I have try to straighten up but it's hard to do. LOL

The baby is growing and I feel it every day. I can't seem to wrap my mind around what is going to happen in a few short week.

I just read a book and it said in the 28th week, the baby already has hair and has about 2% to 3% body fat. And the book tells me to talk to baby all the time. So if you see me talking to myself, I'm really talking to the baby. Ha!

I did have a crazy three-hour class on breast feeding at Real Birth in NYC. It's amazing what the body is going to do. I wish I could get into everything I learned but I can't. Let's just say they don't call it a miracle for nothing :)

Anyway, have a great weekend. Hope your Memorial Day will be a good one.

When I asked Mad TV star Arden Myrin to pick between her show Mad TV and Saturday Night LIVE. I kinda knew would go with SNL, I would too if i were in her shoes. And no, it doesn't mean she's a traitor or disloyal...She's just really smart.

See, for those of you who don't know, after 14 seasons, Mad TV will be no more. But SNL isn't going anywhere anytime soon. So she knew what she was doing by making that choice. I think she would be a good replacement for Amy Poehler who just left and do weekend update with Seth Meyers. It's all coming together in my head. I feel like such a visionary ..yeah right, more like a pimp if I have to be honest.

Anyways, talking to the very funny and eternally chipper Miss Myrin, I realized that she and i have something in common. No, I'm not blond like she is, not quite as funny, and probably not even as smart. Our similarity isn't really that deep. But here it is..we both write blogs. I write the GRILLED blogs and she writes hers and I promised her I would talk about it...so just log on to www.ardenmyrin.com/blog, but before you do, check out her GRILLED video. Seriously you should. There's a lot more deep stuff revealed there; and there's shallow stuff too if that's what you're into. I've got it all covered...I aim to please.

And America's Next Top Model is... (Dramatic pause courtesy of Tyra Banks)

Still Pausing...

Pausing continues...

I know, It can be annoying but if Tyra's pausing we have to pause too; there are no two ways about it or you'll feel the wrath...not sure you want that.

12 seconds to the big reveal.

5 more. 3-2-1...

TEYONA ANDERSON!!!!!!

I have to honestly say that I'm really happy for her. She's very nice and down to earth. And ofcourse very pretty, although she kinda has to be good looking in order to win.

Oh and another thing? her waist is the size of my wrist. MY WRIST!!! It really is. And after I GRILLED her, I walked over to the gym by work and signed up. Check out the video...not of me signing up at the gym, it's of America's Next Top Model Teyona Anderson getting GRILLED.

I'll give Dancing With the Stars Judge Carrie Ann Inaba a 10 anytime, anyday. For personality, For talent and most importantly for teaming up with Dr. Scholl's for those insoles for high heels.

Most women would agree that looking good and feeling good especially in heels can be quite the task but with these insoles maybe I just won't party the night away in comfort for once, I might even be able to run a marathon in my heels. Ok, that's a stretch, but you know what's not a stretch? Carrie Ann Inaba as a perfect 10...sorry Bo Derek (you're still a 10 to me, the only difference is that you've got company) So here's Miss Inaba a-k-a the other perfect 10, (to me at least) get GRILLED.

Get ready to rock the boat! Fashions inspired by the boating world are making a splash this season. We'll check out different items. We'll also talk about how not to go overboard with nautical items head-to-toe, how to choose key pieces and play with color.

Rachel Zalis, contributing editor of Life&Style Weekly talked about how we can set sail for less than $50. Today's items included:

People tend to think I make up stuff. Maybe I do sometimes. But what I'm going to say now is the truth and nothing but the truth... Actor/Comedian Jamie Kaler is one of the funniest people I know.

So maybe your idea of funny is Chris Rock or Jerry Seinfeld, but he could be their adopted son. Yes, he is that funny. His name may not ring a bell like his two step dads, but he's on the TBS show My Boys (the season finale is on tonight by the way so you beter watch it)

And you know how they say the proof is in the pudding, right? Well the the proof of Jamie Kaler's comedic prowess is in his stand up act and in this GRILLED video...seriously, brace yourselves...I wish I did before I GRILLED him. I'm paying for it now with a cracked rib.

You can even hear it crack if you pay close attention but that may be hard since you'll be laughing so hard...Listen and see if you do.

He recently competed alongside girlfriend Julianne Hough on Dancing With the Stars--country singer Chuck Wicks spoke with us about his new album, entitled Starting Now.

Starting Now is Wicks' debut album. The effort came in at number 24 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart, selling about 20,000 copies in its first week. Wicks co-wrote all but one of the songs. Three singles have been released from the album to high acclaim: "Stealing Cinderella", which reached #5 on the Hot Country Songs charts, "All I Ever Wanted", which peaked at #14, and "Man of the House".

One of Wicks' first big breaks came when one of the songs he wrote, called "Lead Me On," was recorded by Steve Holy on his 2006 album Brand New Girlfriend. Upon being picked up by RCA Records the following year, Wicks' debut single, "Stealing Cinderella," was released. The track produced the biggest debut for any new country artist in all of 2007, becoming the fastest-climbing debut country single in 2007.

He and Hough competed as a couple on Dancing With the Stars' eighth season. They were eliminated from the show last month. Wicks also appeared on the American reality series Nashville, which aired on Fox for two episodes.

Starting Now is in stores today. For information on Wicks' upcoming tour dates, visit: www.chuckwicks.com

Hi Everyone,

Hope your week went well. I just finished an interview with Angie Harmon. What a beautiful woman and to think that she is a mother of three. Ugh... I can't even imagine looking that beautiful all the time. Some people are truly blessed and she is so down-to-earth. We can all aspire right?

This week has been really interesting. There were lots of things to do. My husband and I will be taking a marathon baby class this weekend at Real Birth. It's not something I'm looking forward to but I have so many questions and such little time that I have to get to work.

Other than that, we are doing great. The baby is getting bigger and there is no question that I am pregnant.

Hope you all have a great weekend!
