We're also reflecting on the year that has passed since the death of Michael Jackson. What better way to celebrate his musical talent than with a pair of tickets to Summerfest? We just know MJ would love a Leinie's to go with his deep-fried Snickers if only he were still with us...
Rebecca Wells brought us The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood and she returns with her latest work, The Crowning Glory of Calla Lily Ponder. A story of love lost and found against the Louisiana landscape. The book is now in stores.

We've arrived at Father's Day Weekend 2010, and as we reflect on the great fathers through history, we also recognize the deadbeats.

Just don't wait 'til junior makes it big before you reappear to take credit for all of his or her success. Ain't no one who wants to meet his or her dad only after losing a hand and getting saved from some kooky old man's hand lightning. Not cool.
