Q: What’s Bonnie

Rai� up to now? We

miss her here in

Central Texas! —Jackie

Rider, Round Rock, Tex.

A: “I’ve had some time at home after our BonTaj

national tour in 2009,” says nine-time Grammy winner Raitt, 61, adding that she’ll be back in the studio later this year. “I’m excited to be working on some new music, touring, and coming to Texas for sure in 2012. See you then!”

Q: Tina Turner has been a longtime favorite of mine. Any chance we’ll see her onstage or on the big screen again? —John C.

Conte, Drexel Hill, Pa.

A: Don’t hold your breath! After over half a century in showbiz, the eight-time Grammy winner stopped all professional performances following her 70th birthday in 2009. So unless inspiration strikes, she’ll be enjoying her retirement.

Q: Is there a video for Rob Thomas’ “Mockingbird”? Also, do you have any information about an upcoming Matchbox Twenty album? —E. Smith, New York City

A: Thomas never fi lmed a video for “Mockingbird,” but a new Matchbox Twenty album is on the horizon. “We’re looking forward to getting into the studio and can’t wait for our fans to hear the new music,” the band said in a statement.

Q: Who’s the youngest

person ever to win a

Grammy Award?

What appealed to you about this fi lm, which tells the story of

Romeo and Juliet—but with gnomes?

There’s something for everyone. I’ll be proud to show it to my kid.

Congratulations on the baby, by the way! How is fatherhood?

It’s been a breeze. It’s delightful, enchanting.

Did you know there’d be a cartoon version of you in Gnomeo?

That was a surprise. I burst out laughing. It’s cute, and I loved it.

You’ve won six Grammys. Any favorite memories of the show?

I’ve never been on TV when I’ve won, but my favorite moments were

performing with Marshall [Mathers, a.k.a. Eminem] and Lady Gaga.

The musician, 63—who recently welcomed a son with his partner, David Furnish—executive-produced and provided music for Disney’s 3-D animated movie Gnomeo & Juliet, in theaters now.

Q: Do Hollywood celebrities always win the Spoken Word Grammy? —Greg Cunningham, Garden

Grove, Calif.

A: Not always. Though Michael J. Fox won it last year, past winners include documentary fi lmmaker Ken Burns, poets Maya Angelou and Carl Sandburg, journalist Edward R. Murrow, and former presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter.

Secrets of the Top Dogs

he 135th annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show starts tomorrow on USA Network, with 2,500 of man’s best friends strutting their stuff for the judges. We’ve all heard about how human beauty-pageant contestants coat their teeth with Vaseline to prevent lipstick smears and duct-tape their bathing suits

to keep the bottoms in place, but dogs—and their handlers—have their own tricks: 1. Hit the track. “Show dogs are like athletes. We work on their condition all year long,” says handler Scott Sommer. Depending on the breed, that could mean treadmill workouts or running alongside a bicycle. 2. Oil check. According to handler Michelle Scott, short-haired breeds get a dab of baby oil on their nails and the tips of their noses to make them shine.3. Stick around. Since most dogs have dry feet, “some trainers spray soda on their pads to keep them from slipping in the ring,” Scott says.4. Spray, baby, spray. “We’ll put a little mousse in a dog’s hair to give it a fuller look,” Scott says. “And we might fi nish it off with a light coat of hair spray, like Tresemmé.”Check out photos of past winners at Parade.com/dogs. —Joanne Kaufman

My supervisor sent me a friend request on Facebook. Do I have to accept? —Patty G., Atlanta

A: This is the kind of request that makes me want to immediately come up with a white lie along the lines of: “My Facebook page is a secret society of people who all own parrots.” In fact, there is no reason (or way) to lie, says Will Schwalbe, co-author of SEND: Why People Email So Badly and How to Do It Better. “The supervisor may have already seen the list of friends you have in common.” But, Schwalbe explains, this is why God (or Mark Zuckerberg) made the “Create a List” option for friends. “I would accept the request but assign him to a list I’d set up just for such people. I might label it ‘Business’ and then severely limit what people on that list can see on my page.” —Judith Newman

PARADE While you’re still in bed, let’s talk about how you spend your Sundays.It’s my sacred day. I’ll sleep until I wake up, which is just divine. I stay in my pj’s. I think it’s impor-tant to bask in the glory of noth-ingness. I’ll pile my favorite things around me: Scientific American, a bunch of self-help books. I’ll indulge myself with decaf and creamer in the mug I took—I asked first!—from Oprah’s dressing room. And it makes me just as happy as I can be. I don’t even brush my hair unless I absolutely have to.

I’m curious: Why Scientifi c American?I study the brain; Mom’s the same way. And I’ve been doing a thing called brain-state conditioning training. I’m off four major medications for depression and ADD because of

it. My brain is now pretty fabulous. I’m always trying to come up with

the next healing process.

And I hear you’ve lostweight as well.

After losing 50 pounds, I feel healthier and sassier, and I’ve started getting some looks! I keep doing it because of my health. My rule is that if I want to watch something on TV, I walk on the treadmill while I’m

watching. As long as I don’t read People and watch certain shows, I feel really good about myself.

Now that you have two teenagers, 16-year-old Elijah and 14-year-old Grace, do you appreciate your mom more?Heck yeah, because pay-backs are hell. And the older I get, the smarter my mother is—it’s amazing.

I borderline worshipped her on every stage during our recent tour.

What made you want to write Restless Heart?We are so convinced we can go on television and have overnight suc-cess, instead of the real story of how a career is born and made. When Mom and I started in 1983, we rode around in a car for a year, visiting three to fi ve radio stations a day. We called it “the shake and howdy.” My own story is woven into this love story about Destiny, a young woman from a small town who’s got a gift and wants to make it. She has that “roll up your sleeves and march through the storm” quality.

What does your hair color say about you?That I am very, very unsat-isfi ed with just one color. I have fi ve—a base red, a crazy red, a pomegranate, a tangerine, and a color close to Rihanna’s bright cherry red. I call my hair the burning bush. It’s just my way of expressing myself.

You’ve been through two divorces, but your book is very hopeful about love. Are you?Oh, yeah—for 17 months I’ve been seeing Cactus Moser, who I’m ab-solutely madly in love with. He used to open for Mom and me back in the ’80s, and I had a crush on him then. I’m so grateful, I almost feel like I’m getting away with some-thing. But I’m hesitant to talk about

it, ’cause there’s nothing more ir-ritating than a woman who’s getting her groove back.

it’s morning at her

Tennessee farm, and Wynonna Judd is in her J.Crew pajamas under

blue fl annel sheets, surrounded by three of her pooches. The 46-year-old multi-platinum singer has just fi nished the 2010 dates on her Last Encore tour, during which she and her mother, Naomi, were fi lmed for a reality show to air in March on OWN, the Oprah Winfrey Network. And in January, Judd published her fi rst novel, Restless Heart. It’s about a rising country-music star who has “fire and moxie,” she tells Kate Meyers—just like its author.

Ask Marilyn®

by Marilyn vos Savant

If many stars are so far from Earth that their light takes millions of years to reach us, how do we

know they still exist?—Sue Charles, Marshfi eld, Mass.

We don’t. When we look at the stars, we are viewing the past. If a star is a million light years away (our Milky Way galaxy is about 100,000 light years wide), we are observing the way it looked a million years ago, not the way it looks today. And that’s a relatively close star!

Yet we can make educated guesses about the life spans of various stars, depending on their characteristics. In the case of many massive stars—

which are among the most luminous and short-lived—we can be confi dent that they’re not there when we see them.

Even more mind-boggling: Say that a certain star will live for 5 million years, but it’s so far away that its light takes 10 million years to reach us. By the time we can see it for the fi rst time, it has already been gone for 5 million years.

Why is a cash drawer called a “till”? —Cheryl M., Bellingham, Wash.

The word goes back more than 500 years. Till (til, tille, tyll, or tylle) had long been the term for a small tray, drawer, or compartment used for holding

valuables—such as jewels, money, or documents—inside a larger chest or cabinet, etc.

Most of those usages are now obsolete. Today, the term refers only to a cash drawer or

similar receptacle in which the money for routine transactions is temporarily stored.

“I think I look at the world in a slightly bent way,” Perry says.


share traits, Perry—who wholeheartedly subscribes to the school of “write what you know”—says the likenesses are more between Ben and himself fi ve years ago. “I’ve certainly had a lot of experiences in my life where I was much too self-centered,” he notes. “I’d rather be me now than me at 20. This show is going to be about the 9,000 mistakes Ben makes on the journey to becoming a real person who cares about other people.”

Perry has had some highly publicized battles with addiction, going to rehab in 1997 and 2001 for alcohol- and drug-abuse treatment. Recalling that period, and the subsequent years that inspired Mr. Sunshine, he feels the key to emerging whole was facing his fears. “I suppose that’s what life is really about, and what I was ultimately brave enough to do,” he says. “That and the knowledge that it’s an ongoing process. If something scares you, face it. For example, what do you do when Friends is over and you’re not sure what’s next? I decided to be creative, and it scared me. I didn’t know whether I could do it. The fi rst draft of the fi rst script I ever wrote, I started every single scene with somebody coming in saying, ‘Can I talk to you for a second?’ ” He laughs and shakes his head. “That’s just bad writing. If you hear somebody on Mr. Sunshine say that, you’ll know I’ve screwed up.”

Allison Janney, who plays Ben’s loopy, politically incorrect boss, says that back when she and Perry were working on The West Wing in 2003, “I thought he was hysterically funny and very smart. You couldn’t believe the things that were coming out of his mouth, he was so quick-witted.” Though Perry does recall “thinking of funny lines” on sets over the years—“sometimes I’d get them in and sometimes I wouldn’t”— F

Matthew perry has a funny idea: Get the puma! A call goes out, and

soon a six-foot furry mascot walks in to mug side-by-side with the star for PARADE’s photo shoot. Few people could summon a puma just like that, but fame of the type Perry wields has its privileges.

He earned that fame—plus a substantial fortune—playing Chandler Bing on the 10-year juggernaut Friends, one of the most successful comedy series ever. But after more than 52 million Americans tuned in to watch Friends’ fi nale in 2004, Perry did what he calls “the stereotypical thing in the Actors Handbook, where you say, ‘Okay, now I’m just going to do dramatic things.’ ” Most notably, he co-starred in Aaron Sorkin’s short-lived West Wing follow-up, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, and scored an Emmy nomination for his role as an inner-city schoolteacher in the TV movie The Ron Clark Story. Then, he says, “I remembered it was kind of fun to be funny.”

Now the legions of fans who’ve missed Perry’s supremely entertaining blend of frazzled bemusement and wry, sardonic humor can rejoice: He’s back in prime time, on ABC’s Wednesday-night sitcom Mr. Sunshine. It’s his fi rst series in more than three years and his fi rst comedy since Friends. It’s also a labor of love for the 41-year-old star, who in addition to headlining is taking a huge creative leap as one of the show’s writers and executive producers. “Mr. Sunshinewas generated out of an idea of his that he was very passionate about,” says Jamie Tarses, an old pal of Perry’s who developed Friends when she was at NBC. “It turned into a true collaboration, and he’s involved in all of it.” Perry, who had co-written a pilot before and was

eager for more behind-the-scenes responsibility, says he didn’t think “that just being an actor on another comedy would be the right move, because I was already lucky enough to have been on one of the best. This show really is a dream come true. I just hope that people will like it—that it’s not just funny to me.”

He plays Ben Donovan, the 40-year-old general manager of a fi ctional San Diego arena called the Sunshine Center, and the personifi cation of a mid-life crisis. Asked whether Ben and Chandler

he describes a writing process on Mr. Sunshine that’s a good deal more laborious, involving pacing around the house and mumbling to himself in corners at parties. “To me, writing is remembering something funny that happened, or maybe something I said seven years ago,” he says. His habit of mining memories for humorous bits has his friends teasing him that he’ll be out of material before too long, “because I put all of my jokes into this thing.”

Perry has brought some of those real-life pals into his fi ctional life at the Sunshine Center. Inside that puma costume, for example, is actor David Pressman, a friend since their days doing improv in the late ’80s. Pressman plays the arena’s embittered mascot. “It’s an opportunity to put some of your buddies into a show,” Perry says.

The star admits that it hasn’t all been hard work and creativity since we last saw him onscreen; he’s been through some fallow periods as well. “There was a time when I wasn’t working a lot,” he says. “It ebbs and fl ows. Mostly I was just living my life and playing Fallout 3, a very fun game.” In fact, Perry spent so much time on the post-apocalyptic video game

that he developed a hand injury requiring a cortisone injection. “I told that story on The Ellen

DeGeneres Show, and the gamemakers offered me a part in the fourth Fallout. I voiceone of the characters, and I had to kill myself when I played it,” he says, clearly relishing the memory.

One thing he has yet to make time for is marriage and a family. Though he’s been linked over the years with more than a few famous women—including Julia Roberts, Heather Graham, Meg Ryan, and Mandy Moore—and he’s talked of wanting to settle down, Perry is reticent about his current romantic life beyond saying, “I’ve always thought that kids are in my future.” (For her part, Tarses says “he’s ready for the next phase” in a relationship. “I’m a huge fan of his girlfriend [whom Perry didn’t name], and every day I tell him he should marry her.”)

“I certainly think there’s room for it all,” Perry allows. Then he adds with a grin, “I just might have to give up a little bit of Fallout.”

JANUVIA works to lower blood sugar in 2 ways. Talk to your doctor about JANUVIA today.

• JANUVIA is a once-daily prescription pill that helps your body increase the insulin made in your pancreas and decrease the sugar made in your liver.

• Along with diet and exercise, JANUVIA helps lower blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes.• JANUVIA is not likely to cause weight gain or low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).

Please see the Medication Guide on the next page and discuss it with your doctor.

JANUVIA (jah-NEW-vee-ah) should not be used in patients with type 1 diabetes or with diabetic ketoacidosis (increased ketones in the blood or urine). If you have had pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas), it is not known if you have a higher chance of getting it while taking JANUVIA.

Selected Risk Information About JANUVIA: Serious side effects can happen in people who take JANUVIA, including pancreatitis, which may be severe and lead to death. Before you start taking JANUVIA, tell your doctor if you’ve ever had pancreatitis. Stop taking JANUVIA and call your doctor right away if you have pain in your stomach area (abdomen) that is severe and will not go away. The pain may be felt going from your abdomen through to your back. The pain may happen with or without vomiting. These may be symptoms of pancreatitis.

Do not take JANUVIA if you are allergic to any of its ingredients, including sitagliptin. Symptoms of serious allergic reactions to JANUVIA, including rash, hives, and swelling of the face, lips, tongue, and throat that may cause difficulty breathing or swallowing, can occur. If you have any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, stop taking JANUVIA and call your doctor right away.

If you take JANUVIA with another medicine that can cause low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), such as a sulfonylurea or insulin, your risk of getting low blood sugar is higher. The dose of your sulfonylurea medicine or insulin may need to be lowered while you use JANUVIA. Signs and symptoms of low blood sugar may include headache, drowsiness, weakness, dizziness, confusion, irritability, hunger, fast heart beat, sweating, and feeling jittery.

Your doctor may do blood tests before and during treatment with JANUVIA to see how well your kidneys are working. Based on these results, your doctor may change your dose of JANUVIA. The most common side effects of JANUVIA are upper respiratory tract infection, stuffy or runny nose and sore throat, and headache.

Call 1-888-JANUVIA or visit Januvia.com.

You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

an who stuck her bare, sweaty feeton the cabin wall! Please. Unless you’re Spider-Man and about to walk upside down, keep the shoes on, all right? It’s smelly enough in the cabin.

Which brings us to food. Yes, I know you’re lucky to get a corn-fl ake on an airplane today, but if

you must bring food on board, consider the odor. Fried onions will not stop smelling at 23D.

Kids. Let’s talk about kids. Kids love airplanes. Many can’t believe they have a seat in front of them they can kick all fl ight long, while Mom and Dad watch the movie. Please. Tell them to stop.

And if you’ve got a crying baby—and we all love babies—at least pretend you’re trying to keep him quiet. Don’t hide behind an US Weekly.

Also, once your kids stop cry-ing, the plane should not hear from them again until they are old enough to be—and actually are—the pilots. I recently had a little boy behind me who all fl ight long kept singing, at the top of his lungs, “Go-Go-Go…the cat in the hat!” I don’t know this song, or if it even is a song, but I do know his mom did nothing except occasionally whisper, “Jacob, keep it down,” which had the same effect as pressing the Volume-Up button.

Speaking of volume, if you need to use your cellphone on the tar-mac, please remember there are people inches away from you. They really don’t want to hear about Uncle Seymour’s kidney problem.

And if you fall asleep, try not to do so on the person next to you.

So there you go. With a little cooperation, we can all have a bet-ter year as passengers, even if the airlines think we’re cattle. Thank you for your attention. And now, as the captain says, sit back, relax, and strip to your underwear.

Security check.

Plane Speaking: Share your thoughts—and in-� ight experiences—with us at Facebook.com/parademag

Making the Skies a Bit Friendlier No rowdy kids, no bare feet, no smelly food. That’s all I ask.

Hello, this is your captain speaking.

Okay, I lied. I don’t sit in the cockpit. I sit

where you sit. And I fl y a lot (over 100,000 miles a year). So I would like to suggest ways the airlines could treat us better this year.

But why bother?Any business that will soon be

charging you and me to open the bathroom door isn’t keen on hear-ing from either of us. The airlines stopped listening about the time they began selling pillows.

So perhaps we could speak to one another as fellow travelers. Because even if the airlines torture us until we’d rather ride on the back of a filthy hay wagon, we don’t have to follow suit, do we?

We can all be fl ying buddies!Here are a few gentle suggestions:First, when you get on the

plane, walk down the aisle with your carry-on luggage in front of you, not behind you. Behind you, you knock over drinks, bags, and small elderly people.

And when you fi nally sit down, think before you slam your seat back into the person behind you. Breaking kneecaps is for gangster movies.

Feet. As in bare feet. Don’t do it. Maybe at home you like to rip off your socks and plant your na-ked toes wherever you like, but not on a plane, okay? This isn’t a nail salon. I recently sat next to a wom-

‘Think before you slam your seat all the way back.

Breaking kneecaps is for gangsters only.’

“This is not a date,” I told myself.

I had recently separated from my husband and, living alone in New York City, was in no hurry to date. I thought it best to disengage, have fun, wear heels often, and fl irt. Then I met a wholly inappro-priate man seven years my junior. Panio Gianopoulos was 25, with big shoulders and long dimples, and was far too good-looking to be taken seriously. Never mind that he wrote and edited books and was a second-degree black-belt in karate.

After a lengthy e-mail fl irtation, we timidly set about fi guring out ways to meet in person. A plan was hatched to teach me some self-defense basics. I put together the minxy-est workout outfit I could, then nervously giggled my way through the bout. When we got to the “bear hug,” I froze. Not because I was scared, but because I didn’t want to get out of it.

My Big Fat Greek Date For Molly Ringwald, this dish came with lots of garlic (and lots of love)

pork chops and cubed tomatoes wrapped in a fresh pita slathered with garlic-infused tzatziki.

After the first bite, my true love affair began. With tzatziki. I ate another “Greek taco,” and another, and then Panio just scooted the tzatziki in front of me and I began to eat directly

We cut the session short and ran out into the crisp, blue-skied February day. It was just shy of Valentine’s Day, an ideal time for lolly gagging outside with a new crush, but I had a script to read, and our apartments were on op-posite sides of town. So why not read at his place? he suggested.

As twilight descended, I de-tected noises in the kitchen. And then the unmistakable smell of garlic wafted in. Who prepares garlic on a fi rst date? Had I mis-read everything? I shuffl ed to the table, where a delicious home-cooked Greek meal awaited: oregano- seasoned pan-seared F

from the bowl with a spoon. We chatted and laughed and

fl irted, and when it was time to go home, it was decided that it was much too cold, and wouldn’t I be better off spend-ing the night? He chivalrously offered to sleep on the couch, but since this wasn’t a date, I reasoned, what did it hurt to snuggle a little on the bed?

“Speak to me in Greek,” I suggested, since I was too ner-vous to speak myself, let alone breathe, having polished off the entire bowl of tzatziki.

“Little gold piece,” he said in Greek. Then he began listing all of the islands that, as I would later learn, he hoped we would one day visit. At the time I had no clue what he was saying. I was simply luxuriating in the sound of the foreign tongue. “Santorini. Mykonos. Skia-thos…,” he murmured in be-tween kisses.

I whispered back one of the few Greek words he’d taught me: the one that means “more.”

He said other words I didn’t know, but then I heard one I did. I shot up. “Tzatziki! Are you naming food products?”

He nodded sheepishly. “I ran out of islands.” Turned out he was also naming appliances, political parties, and cartoon characters. And it didn’t matter! He could have read me the en-tire Athenian phone book while we both munched on cloves of garlic as if they were chewing gum. It was defi nitely a date.

And all that garlic? Ten years later, I’ve decided it was very good for our hearts.

How-to-Quit Tipsthe single smartest thing you can do for your health? Stop smoking—now. No one says it’ll be easy, but the good news is your lungs and heart will improve almost immediately. “Your blood pressure will go down and your arteries will begin healing the day after you stop smoking,” says Thomas Glynn, director of Cancer Science and Trends at the American Cancer Society. To truly kick the habit:

1Know your motivation. “Write your reasons for quitting on

a piece of paper, laminate it, and put it in your pocket. Every time you’re tempted to smoke, pull it out as a reminder of why you shouldn't.”

2 Score free help. “You can get free counseling and talk

with a ‘quit coach’ by calling 1-800-QUIT-NOW. In some states, this can even help you get medication for less.”

3 Decide on a method. “Ask your physician or pharmacist.

There are seven medications now available to help.”

4 Avoid triggers. “You’ll probably need to change

other behaviors for the fi rst few months. If you’re used to having a cigarette after dinner, call a friend or go for a walk instead. Driving can also be a trigger, so have gum handy in the car.”

5 Expect setbacks. “If you slip up, analyze what happened,

then fi gure out how to avoid that situation next time.”

(UMS) If you just got stung with another high heat bill you better hur-ry and get in on this free giveaway.

Today, for the first time ever beautiful Scratch-N-Dent models of the world famous Heat Surge® Miracle Fireplace mantles are actu-ally being given away free to the general public.

The only thing today’s read-ers need to do is call the Toll Free Hotline before the deadline starting at precisely 8:00am this morning to order the miracle heaters. Everyone who does will instantly be awarded the genuine handmade Amish Light Honey Oak Fireplace mantle abso-lutely free.

“This is all happening because the Amish craftsmen who have already built nearly a million of these man-tles take great pride in their work so not all mantles make the final grade. Others can be nicked during handling after they leave the Amish workshops,” said Chris Gallo, Heat Surge spokesman.

“We think they are way too hard on themselves, but that’s how we are able to set aside hundreds of these nearly perfect units to give away free,” Gallo said.

“These are the newest Heat Surge Fireless Flame∏ Fireplace models. Call them whatever you want, refur-bished, reconditioned, nearly new, but chances are you will never find the flaw, it could be on the firebox or the mantle, but usually smaller than a thumb nail. Since the mantles also get labeled nearly perfect we are giving them away free,” Gallo said.

“It’s the buzz around town. Yes, the Amish craftsmen need to earn money like everyone else but they are willing to take less for their

work so that everyone can get one. It shows we care. The overriding goal is to help as many people as possible to substantially cut their heat bills now and next fall by allowing every-one to turn down their thermostat,” Gallo said.

As we look forward to enjoying the summer, there will be that mon-ster lurking in the shadows: HIGH HEATING BILLS. So if your heat
