Kathy Hilton is arguably one of the most glamorous and fabulous hostesses out there. As she explained to CupidsPulse.com in the past, her priorities lie with family and love — but her success in entertaining has made her incredibly popular. With the holiday season quickly approaching, we spoke to the socialite about her party planning skills.
Here are Hilton’s top tips for entertaining your friends and family during the holidays:
Viewers of Top Chef recognize Atlanta chef Richard Blais as the runner-up during the reality show’s fourth season and the winner of season eight, Top Chef: All-Stars. What may surprise fans, though, is his new found passion for healthy cooking. It even surprised the chef himself: “I would never have envisioned that I’d be standing here today talking to you about being a dedicated chef to health and wellness.” In our interview, he discusses the importance of fiber and makes raw oatmeal risotto using Benefiber.
While the reality star handles most of the cooking duties at home, he knows a thing or two about sharing space in the kitchen. “My kids do cook. We’re getting them involved,” Blais shares of his daughters, ages five and almost three. “I think it’s really important to build a healthy relationship with food with your kids, whether that’s going to the farmer’s market, going to the grocery store, or getting them at the stove with you.”
He adds, “We just made one of these recipes at home – blue corn meal pancakes – with Benefiber.”

Respected body language expert Dr. Lillian Glass is a professional when it comes to reading through the lies people tell and discovering the truth hidden in their non-verbal movements. She has lectured on body language and deception at the FBI and has been a jury consultant, expert witness, and mediator. Already an author of over a dozen books, The Body Language of Liars, which comes out today, proves to be the one of the juiciest. The book focuses on photographs of celebrities like Bill Clinton, Lance Armstrong, Kim Kardashian, and Lindsay Lohan, and Dr. Glass uses her skills to reveal the moments in which these famous individuals lied to their adoring public.
Dr. Glass also teaches her readers how to pick up on signals of deception. Analyze the body language of divorced couples like Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes to see how they’re really feeling about each other. Plus, she provides the eight reasons why adults lie and tells you how to spot liars by looking at facial expressions, voice tone, speech content, and more. The author chatted with CupidsPulse.com in an exclusive interview and dished insider info on how to see through lying eyes and false statements.
Since vying for Sean Lowe’s heart on The Bachelor, AshLee Frazier has been focusing on her career rather than her love life. Although the entertainment press says otherwise, the bubbly personality tells us that she hasn’t done much dating since her time on reality television. “I want to be well-rounded before I find someone and fall in love,” the personal organizer candidly shares.
The currently-single star also chats about what type of man she wants and what she learned from the show. “It’s okay to really put yourself out there. I never would’ve done that before,” she says. “Now, I’m looking for that feeling of being head-over-heels in love.”
And, of course, we had to ask Frazier about her take on the new Bachelor, Juan Pablo Galavis! Listen up for her thoughts on the Venezuelan soccer star and her advice to next season’s contestants.

Lifetime welcomed a new reality show to its ranks this summer with the July 22nd premiere of Supermarket Superstar. The show has been described as Shark Tank with food, giving undiscovered food entrepreneurs a chance to stand out among the big brands in the highly competitive food industry. Stacy Keibler, who made a name for herself as a World Wrestling Entertainment Diva, hosts the program. The blonde bombshell was known as “The Legs of WWE” due to her tall stature, but she rose to even greater prominence during her relationship with A-list actor George Clooney, which ended earlier this year.

Kathy Hilton is no stranger to the spotlight. As a child actor, she played roles on notable programs such as Happy Days, Family Affair, The Rockford Files, and Bewitched. Her husband, Richard Hilton, is one of the most high-profile businessmen in the country, and her daughters, Paris and Nicky, have had their share of fame as well. But although you may not see Kathy on the big screen anymore, her life is busier than ever. She works with causes such as Erase MS, the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and the Starlight Children’s Foundation. Plus, she designs the Kathy Hilton Collection — “a line of exquisite evening wear for women of all ages that includes an element of high society at affordable prices” — and she does this all while managing a family and keeping her marriage strong.

In this exclusive interview, CupidsPulse.com founder and executive editor Lori Bizzoco chats with Kelly Ripa about Super Saturday, which was held this past weekend in the Hamptons; her relationship with co-host and “soul sibling” Michael Strahan; and her strong marriage to Mark Consuelos. “We just love each other. We still dig each other,” the television personality says of the secret to their marriage of seventeen years. “He does it for me, and I think I do it for him. Otherwise, I don’t think he’d still be here!”
The mother of three also discusses her partnership with Electrolux and their French Door Refrigerator with the Perfect Temp Drawer. Not only does she love their products, but she loves their philanthropic attitude as well. “They’ve been helping me raise money for ovarian research since I’ve been with them. When a company puts forth such an effort not only to make lives easier but also worrying about the health of women, I just think that says something.”
In addition to the event in New York City, Electrolux is inviting Americans to visit www.livelovelux.com through August 22 to enter the Electrolux Perfect Temp Sweepstakes for the chance to win a French Door Refrigerator and a trip to a climate with the Perfect Temp (the Bahamas!). For every entry or share, Electrolux will donate $1 to the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund (OCRF).

Drop Dead Diva, the relaunched Lifetime hit television show, will be showing their support for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community on tonight’s episode. In an exciting storyline, the cast will welcome Derek Smith, who is playing a gay professional baseball player. Josh Berman, the show’s openly gay producer, stated that this issue was vital for him to tackle because being a gay athlete is becoming a rising issue. “Sports is one of the last frontiers where men and women feel they unfortunately need to be closeted,” he explains.

On Saturday, May 4, 2013, our founder and executive editor Lori Bizzoco spoke to graduate students at William Paterson University in Wayne, New Jersey. She discussed the challenges and benefits of being an entrepreneur as well as what’s it like to run a digital media company.
Angela Zatopek, the youngest contestant vying for the heart of Ben Patton on NBC’s cancelled dating competition show Ready for Love, has always been open about her love life, even before she joined the reality television world. What really sets her apart from other young women are her Christian values, particularly the fact that she has decided to “save herself” for marriage.
If you’ve been watching NBC’s dating reality competition show Ready for Love, you may have been disappointed to hear that it was cancelled by the network after only two low-rated episodes. Many viewers felt like the new series presented a false reality when it came to dating and relationships, reinforcing the belief that you have to be perfect to find real love.
For those of you who are fans of the show, don’t fret! NBC.com is airing the remaining episodes, so you’ll still be able to follow the journey of Ernesto Arguello, Tim Lopez and Ben Patton as they search for their soul mates. Filming wrapped last August, so we can’t imagine what it’s been like for the bachelors to keep their final picks a secret — something that they must continue to do until the finale airs on Tuesday, June 4th. To tide us over, we caught up with Patton, who we interviewed prior to the premiere, and chatted about his current relationship, his take on the other two bachelors and his past love with one of the contestants.
