A whole new ‘Grey’s Anatomy’
What do you do when you decide to write off one of the most popular characters of a hit television show? Give her a new show.
This is exactly what the creators of “Grey’s Anatomy” are doing for actress Kate Walsh, who plays Dr. Addison Montgomery-Shepherd.
The show executives have decided to make a second show following Addison’s life more closely. After the sucess of “Grey’s Anatomy” it could be a smart move for ABC in generating larger audiences.
Walsh also found the idea quite pleasing, after sharing airtime with 12 leading characters. While the rest of the cast vows to stay with “Grey’s Anatomy,” there is no telling what will be in store for these fine doctors.
Let’s just hope ABC keeps us all entertained.

Britney goes to rehab … again
Well, if two visits to rehab aren’t enough, maybe the third time’s the charm.
Britney Spears, after shaving her head and branding her body with two new tattoos, admitted herself to rehab last Tuesday at Malibu’s Promises treatment center.
After a downward spiral beginning last November with the divorce of Kevin Federline, Spears has had it rough. First partying it up showing off her lack of undergarments, then passing out while hosting a Las Vegas bash and hitting rock bottom with the construction of her new look.
However, her manager, Larry Rudolph, said things are looking much better. But what can you expect after the wrath of K-Fed.

The joy of bartending at home
Everyone loves to go out for a few drinks now and then, but even after a couple nights out you notice the missing funds in the bank. To break the habit of putting down large amounts of money, bring the bar home.
Bookstores offer books on home bartending with hundreds of drink recipes. With a bag of ice, a few bottles and simple ingredients, you and some friends can enjoy a fun night at home, away from desperate pickup lines and sticky dance floors.
I recommend inviting a few people over and putting those dusty martini glasses to use with a mild Grasshopper martini. You’ll create an evening worth staying home for.

When smoke follows you home
One thing we all dread when hitting the clubs always seems to follow us home: smoke.
Every asthmatic’s worse nightmare can turn an enjoyable night into one you never want to remember. Smoke ruins your clothes and makes you hair smell like a cigar box.
To diminsh the horrific smell, here are a few tips:
Use a coat check. Outerwear is the hardest to remove smells from and usually the coat check keeps things out of the smoky air. At home, put your clothes in the wash or hang them outside. These will stop the smell from transferring to other clothes. Finally, jump in the shower before going to bed.
Keep these tips in mind and remember, no one likes the smell of a smoker.
