Actors Bill Pullman and Julia Stiles stopped by the studio to talk about their roles as John and Carol in Pulitzer Prize winner David Mamet’s two-character play "Oleanna."

This first-time Broadway production centers on a power struggle between John, a college professor, and Carol, one of his female students, who accuses him of sexual exploitation. The claim ruins his chances of being accorded tenure. As their serene campus transforms into a battleground for justice. The play's title was taken from a folk song which refers to a 19th-century escapist vision of utopia. "Oleanna" marks Stiles' roadway debut.

"Oleanna" is playing at the Golden Theatre (252 West 45th Street). For ticket and show information, visit oleannaonbroadway.com.

Top wedding designer/coordinator David Tutera stopped by the studio to demonstrate the do's and don't's in wedding decor.

The celebrity party planner understands the importance of making the bride and groom happy. He says special attention needs to be paid to all the details of the wedding. Tutera helps couples every week on his show "My Fair Wedding."

Big Budgets

Don't - most brides think that they need a big budget to WOW on their wedding day. They get overwhelmed and buy tons of little small, knicknack stuff for their décor.

Do - In terms of planning out your budget, David advises couples to focus first on the elements that matter most to you as a couple, (the food, the entertainment, the venue, whatever!) to ensure that those dreams are met. Then, spend the rest of your budget on pieces that will make the most impact on the room as a whole - like a one beautiful centerpiece and inexpensive votive candles for your table. Remember, everyone looks gorgeous bathed in candlelight.

Bouquets

Don't - a tacky bridal bouquet.

Do - a bouquet that matches the look and feel of your wedding.

Place Cards

Don't - not having a place card. When you have a large group of people, you want to have you guests know exactly where they are sitting - you don't want them wandering around the venue not knowing where to go.

Do - be creative. Place cards are important - it shows your guests that the party hosts have put thought into where they are being seated. It also gives couples the chance to put people together so they strike up a conversation.

Favors

Don't - a wedding favor that doesn't match the look and feel of the wedding.

Do - a wedding favor that makes sense and helps to tell the story of your wedding.

"My Fair Wedding" airs on Sundays at 10 p.m. on WeTv. For more on Tutera's wedding tips, visit www.davidtutera.com.

Having trouble eating your five to nine servings of fruit and veggies a day? This may motivate you: If we all got our daily dose, there could be 200,000 fewer deaths from cancer every year. Fortunately, you aren't limited to a lifetime of broccoli.

Sharon Liao, editor at Shape Magazine, stopped by with five fruits and veggies that offer powerful protection for your body (and they'll help fight diet boredom too!).

• Artichokes - A study showed that artichokes had the highest antioxidant capacity of 40 vegetables and herbs tested. Like broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower, artichokes are rich in flavonoids, which help slow the growth of breast and other types of cancer cells in lab studies.

• Swiss Chard - Swap Swiss chard for spinach and you'll get similar amounts of important antioxidants-like vitamin C, beta-carotene, and lutein-which fight cell damage and strengthen your immune system. But this dark, leafy green is less bland, so you get a flavor boost when you add it to pasta dishes, soups, and stir-fries.

• Bok Choy - This type of Chinese cabbage is milder than green cabbage or kale, but like those veggies, it's packed with isothiocyanates. These sulfur compounds help your body convert some of the estrogen it makes into a weaker form, which helps protect your breasts. . Don't overcook bok choy; that reduces its anticancer properties.

• Tomatoes - Lycopene, a strong antioxidant, is what gives tomatoes their red color. It plays a major role in helping cells communicate, mainly by rallying healthy ones to band together and kill a 'sick' cell that could become cancerous. But keep in mind that your body better absorbs lycopene from foods when they're cooked and served with a little bit of oil or fat.
