Amy tells Ben she wants to get married now.

Will Amy and Ben really go through with it and who will go to their wedding?
This episode picked up where the last one left off and we get to see some of the characters deal with some of the complications from the last episode.
The Secret Life of the American Teenager is a great show for parents to watch with their kids because there is so much good messaging on the show and it will lead to parents and teens talking about the issues after the show. The show deals with everything from abstinence to a pregnant teen and everything in between, so you see all sides! So I highly recommend it for parents and teens. But I also suggest it for anyone who wants to watch a good show.
So tune into one of the biggest shows of 2008 tonight and every Monday on ABC Family at 8p!!!

“DietTribe” is Lifetime’s new reality series that follows the emotional journey of five friends as they attempt to go from “fat” to “fit.” These women have made a commitment to lose their unwanted pounds together. With the help of professional fitness trainer Jessie Pavelka and psychotherapist Stacy Kaiser (of “Celebrity Fit Club” fame), each woman will change her eating and exercise habits over the course of three months and confront the issues that caused her to gain weight initially.
Close friends Anna Lloyd (30, Pasadena, California), Lydia Moody (26, Los Angeles), Megan Stewart (29, Anaheim, California), Shawna McClellan (27, Anaheim, California) and Morgan Lancaster (31, Monrovia, California) have stuck together through thick and thin, sharing a strong bond that has lasted for many years. In recent months, they have come face-to-face with an uncomfortable truth — that their lifestyles and their friendship have resulted in unhealthy weight gains. In “DietTribe,” each woman has her own reason for wanting to lose weight, but all have one common goal: to look their very best at Anna’s upcoming wedding.
Over the course of 90 days, Anna, Lydia, Megan, Shawna and Morgan will try to turn their poor habits into healthy choices by attempting to lose 30 pounds or more with the help of their trainer and therapist. Through the course of the five-episode series, cameras follow the tight-knit group as they deal with real-life temptations, struggle to stay on track through the toughest workouts of their lives and face the scale each week to see how far they have come both mentally and physically.

Lifetime’s Diet Tribe’s formula is nothing new, but how they are doing it with the people they are is. Diet Tribe is about 5 friends who have gained weight together and now attempt to lose it together for their friend’s wedding. Each friend handles the challenges to lose weight differently and one girl fights the trainer at every inch. It will be interesting to see if their friendships will endure the test of dieting.
What I like about Diet Tribe is that it is friends who are trying to lose the weight together. What better support when you are dieting than friends, but then again that could also be a bad thing.
Tune into Lifetime tonight and every Monday at 10p to see if these five friends will look good for their friend’s wedding? I know I can’t wait to see the final results!!!

Before we all had the fever for Brad Pitt when he off his shirt in Thelma and Louise, aged backwards in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and was the father of 6 with Angelina Jolie, he had the fever for Pringles back in the early ’90s! I bet the Golden Globe nominee wishes he can age backwards and not do that ad, but that would be a shame because he looked as tasty as a can of Pringles potato chips!!!

Rumors are that NM Gov. Richardson was not particularly candid with the Obama Transition team about the investigation and grand jury activity. However, I'm sure it was available to be found out and investigated without Richardson's cooperation. Either way, he's resigned and Obama will have to go back to the drawing board on this one. Richardson was going to be the highest ranking Hispanic on
