George Clooney, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Will Smith Stand Up 2 Cancer: Daily-Do Gooder

Briana Rognlin — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 12:30:33 +0000

We know George Clooney just got lots of love for winning the Bob Hope Humanitarian award at the Emmys on Sunday, but he’s not one to rest on his laurels; he’s scheduled for another big fundraiser next week with Stand Up 2 Cancer – a telethon event on September 10 to raise money for cancer research. He and other stars like Will Smith, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Kathy Bates, and Neil Armstrong are performing for the event, which will air on ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC and some cable channels from 8 p.m.-9 p.m. EDT on Sept. 10.

For those of you who remember The Golden Girls (or those who’ve recently discovered the classic 80s sitcom due to Betty White’s recent career resurgence), here’s a clip featuring Blanche and Rose as nuns. So how do we qualify as one of the needy, sexy people?

A WPA Poster Guide To Fall Resolutions

Briana Rognlin — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 18:41:27 +0000

Most people resolve to do things around January 1st, but I like to challenge myself to new tasks around September 1st. The change of seasons, that “back-to-school” feeling (even if you’re not in school), and that I’ve-been-lazy-all-summer-not-it’s-time-to-kick-into-gear type of inspiration makes me especially motivated this time of year. Plus, there’s nothing like being hung over and snowed in to make me NOT want to start training for a marathon or ride my bike to work.

So in the spirit of what I think should be the official season of resolutions, here are a few WPA posters to help remind us of all the things you we want to do this fall:

World's Healthiest Human Listens to NPR Health on Doublespeed

A.J. Jacobs, editor-at-large at Esquire and author of several books, including The Know-It-All and The Year of Living Biblically, gave the folks at Social Workout a few pointers on health-conscious living. This guy should know, given that his upcoming book, The Healthiest Human Being in the World, is all about his year of being as healthy as humanly possible.

One of his favorite ways to get through a treadmill workout? He listens to NPR’s Your Health. “…I listen to it on doublespeed. It’s great. The only problem is that when you talk to people, they seem to be talking really slow. But if you listen to William Hurt on doublespeed, he’s still slow. William Hurt needs triple speed,” he told Social Workout.
