Anyone ever tell you that you look like someone? Usually it's someone famous. But sometimes they tell you that you look just like their cousin so-and-so. Of course, you could make a career of it. There is a Celebrity Impersonators Conference where thousands flock to spend time with the almost Angelinas and the not-quite-Elvises (or is it Elvi?). My gorgeous friend Dana McDowell actually was a Marilyn impersonator and can totally work it. We have a new feature on the Entertain Yourself part of the website where our genius webmaster matches up staff photos with celebrity lookalikes. Get ready, I'm going to start dropping some names here. When I was filming the Larry the Cable Guy Hula-Palooza Christmas Luau special, which airs November 20 on CMT by the way, one of the make-up artists said I looked like actress Virgina Madsen. He assumed I heard that a lot. Actually, no, it was a first for me. I usually get hit with the Marilyn. It's just because of my hair. So, to help my beloved webmaster, I did a bing image search on Virginia. Oh, I knew who she was, but I didn't see the resemblance other than she's blonde. And lovely. But she looks like a combination of Sharon Stone and Gillian Anderson to me. And my BFF Brien has this one photo of me where he thinks I am so Gillian. So I suppose that was the connection. Anyway, look at the Entertain Yourself and see what he came up with.
This is just sad. No matter how you look at it. Adam Goldstein, who you may know as D.J. AM, was found dead on August 28 in New York. It looks like it was pills and crack. Which in and of itself is sad enough. However, he had walked away from a plane crash with Travis Barker in September of 2008. To survive a plane crash only to let your addictions take you in the end is just too dark and depressing for me. And for his friends, fans, and family I am sure.
John Mayer has to pony up 25 large for an animal charity. That's because he said that TMZ couldn't find his mug shot from when he drove on a suspended license in 2001. Hey, guess what. They got the photo. And it's not like it's some horrible picture either. TMZ could never find a mug shot of me or Jim because we've never been arrested. However, my prints are on file. And I've taken a lie detector test. That's all because I briefly worked for a police department. And you thought I was going to say something far more interesting than that. But no hot story, just part of the job. Ma'am.
I am thrilled that Dan Florio of RunPee got to be a part of the show today. Dan is a movie-lover and, let me toss this about, genius, for coming up with the idea for his website. Many people can't get through an entire film without having to get up and leave, or rather, Run and Pee. Get it? So Dan and his staff go to all the new movies and provide RunPee times on all of them. It is subjective, but very useful. If you get the application available for some phones, you will get a two minute warning before the RunPee time begins and a summary of what you're missing on screen. Like I told you, genius. I have encouraged Dan to say he's not a doctor, but plays one on his website. He is providing a service of a medical necessity for many. I think he can pull that off. After all, there already is a Dr. Feelgood. Dan is going to be a regular part of the show I am glad to say. Booya! Make sure you listen to Dan's debut on the show at www.thejaneellen.com click on Hear Jane.
Many, many new recipes are now posted on the Cook Jane page. Main dishes, once a barren wasteland, now filled with ideas for you. And notice my popcorn fetish under the snacks. I'm sitting next to a bowl of it right now. It's a sickness, I know. Today is the last day you can register for a free copy of the new Brien Travis CD Tales of Lazy Wednesdays. It's amazing. Starting tomorrow, you can buy it yourself from Amazon or iTunes. It's under ten dollah make you hollah so get down on it.

The Jane Ellen Experience Podcast Summary #124 Fri 08.28.09
George Clooney is in pain. He broke his hand allegedly because he shut it in a car door. But Adam pointed out to me that he broke it by punching a wall when he realized I was married. George, Jim's cool with me and you. He says he isn't, but, really, he is. Because he wants to make me happy. And you, George, make me happy.
I am crazy happy to reconnect with some friends of mine with whom I had lost touch. They are gifted musicians (I only hang out with gifted musicians by the way). Enjoy them. Jack Sundrud and Denny Bixby. They are steeped in talent. And witticisms.
Next week on the show I should be able to provide you with something even grander than usual. Dan Florio of www.runpee.com will be a part of the show. His website provides a valuable service to those whose bladders do not allow them to sit through an entire film. He will discuss the latest movies and give you the RunPee times on them.
Movies out this weekend don't have me all atwitter. Jim, by the way, refuses to be a part of the Twitter phenomenon. Taking Woodstock is an R comedy/musical with Eugene Levy as Max Yasgur. For the two people who don't know, it was Yasgur's farm where Woodstock took place. And, unlike Jim, I refuse to explain what Woodstock was.
Two movies that I have no interest in seeing at all are also out. Halloween II an R horror film with Tyler Mane as Michael Myers. It's written and directed by Rob Zombie. And The Final Destination is out with the fourth in the franchise. It's also R horror and is in 3D no less.
You have less than a handful of days before August is over. So sign up for the Brien Travis CD Tales of Lazy Wednesdays because we're giving it away. You can also get it on iTunes and Amazon.
Plus, all new features will be posted by Sunday night including Adam's Geek Chic and Eda's Hollywood Vine. Check back often.

Red Shirt, Ponn Farr, Tiberius. Those phrases are well-known to any Star Trek fan. And now you can smell like them too. Those are the three Star Trek colognes. Red Shirt and Tiberius are for men. For the uninitiated, the red shirts were the security officers in the red shirts who were usually killed as soon as the landing party made it to the planet's surface. That's why it comes with the scent of expandability. Tiberius is the middle nae of James T. Kirk. And Ponn Farr is the Vulcan mating season that comes every seven years. That scent is for women. I wonder if they're any good? I tend toward wearing things like Opium, Covet, Chanel No. 5, D&G's The One. But if it's not flowery and smells awesome, I will slap it on.
Parker Posey has Lyme disease. Just thought you needed to know that.
Britney Spears has done a very amusing MTV VMA promo with Russell Brand. The show airs September 9.
Some guy says he has seen the outline of something that is the traditional description of the Loch Ness Monster in Loch Ness by looking at satellite images from Google Earth.
And the Dancing With the Stars pairings are out. The show airs September 21, 22 and 23. And on the 23rd, two couples get eliminated. It goes as follows:
Aaron Carter and Karina Smirnoff
Nathalie Coughlin and Alec Mazo
Mark Dacascos and Lacey Schwimmer
Tom DeLay and Cheryl Burke
Macy Gray and Jonathan Roberts
Ashley Hamilton and Edyta Sliwinska
Melissa Joan Hart and mark Ballas
Kathy Ireland and Tony Dovalani
Michael Irvin and Anna Demidova
Joanna Krupa and Derek Hough
Debi Mazar and Maksim Chmerkovsky (sigh)
Mya and Dmitry Chaplin
Kelly Osbourne and Louis Van Amstel
Donny Osmond and Kym Johnson
Louie Vito and Chelsie Hightower
It will be interesting, to say the least.
You have a few more days to sign up for the Brien Travis CD Tales of Lazy Wednesdays. It is amazing. Try my new pound cake for fall. Also amazing. And soon the photo gallery will be all shiny and new. Maybe even soon as in today. I'm hoping anyway.

The Jane Ellen Experience Podcast Summary #122 Wed. 08.26.09
Appreciate today's show. Listen to it. Go to www.thejaneellen.com and click on Hear Jane. I say that because in order to provide your daily dose of sarcasm and critique, and to feed our tremendous egos, Adam and I braved vertigo and the most intense migraine ever. Just sayin'.
We had little sympathy for Jon Gosselin who was complaining about his reality show while standing in front of his $1.1 million dollar home. Adam and I agree that if anyone deserves a reality show it's our Brien Travis (buy his CD immediately on iTunes and Amazon). The most amazing and amusing things seem to happen to him on a daily basis. He is oh-so-watchable.
Adam can predict the future. Just because he suggested it, Dakota Fanning is lining up to play the grand-daughter of Dorothy in an updated Wizard of Oz. It seems she will be more like Ripley from Alien. I don't know if that means she'll shoot a lot of stuff, but she won't need too much in the way of rescuing.
You may though, if you get the proposed Bob Dylan GPS. What a brilliant songwriter. But seriously, can you understand half of what he's saying? TomTom has the voices of Homer Simpson, Kim Cattrall, and Mr. T. We wondered if Mr. T. always pities the fool. Or if, in person, he's rather ambivalent.
Don't sit on a toilet seat without looking at it first. Because, I am assuming, that if the guy in Australia had, it wouldn't have become glued to his toosh. Not that it was his fault. But it took industrial solvents to remove it. It had to hurt. And be embarrassing too. Adam and I agreed that it was lame in the scope of practical jokes because the person who put the glue on the public toilet seat in the mall wasn't there in the stall when it happened. No pay-off.
Adam has an idea for our favorite comedy, The Happening. The sequel would be What's Happening. It writes itself.
Paula Abdul is hosting VH1 Divas on September 17. Oddly enough, two divas are former American Idols. Hello VH1, I could've so hosted that for you. Just putting that out there.
And then Adam and I had quite the discussion regarding cemeteries and burial and what-not. The crypt above Marilyn Monroe's is being sold for $4.6 million. Well, it has been bought for that already. It was originally meant for Joe DiMaggio and he sold it to the guy who is face down in it right now. He died 23 years ago. His wife is selling it, relocating her husband's remains to a plot she bought, and she plans to be cremated.
Make sure you troll the website. New column about roses from Jay Frankenfield is up. Along with my Tube Job and Eda's Hollywood Vine. If you are a Facebook fan, there is a now a The Jane Ellen fan page. Feel free to sign up by the thousands.

The One About Directions
I know my limitations. That is one of my most glorious traits. In my opinion, that is. I remember being taught how to fold a road map properly in Ms. Hilton's geography class. I still have issues with it. I did perform adequately for the class and read the maps necessary to pass. I did receive an A. (I also tucked away the knowledge that Ms. Hilton cut her own hair. She offered this information to the class. I wonder if she still does.) There were other classes I took in which I had to read maps. Well, now that I think of it, a map was drawn and I had to fill it in. So, yes I was "reading" a map, but not so much reading it as a means of getting somewhere. And that is where I am limited.
Maps and I don't always get along. My husband sites an occasion when we were in Williamsburg, VA and I couldn't tell him by looking at the map whether to turn left or right. Now, I have no memory of this. Sure, I remember going to Williamsburg. I even remember what I had to eat that night. But this whole map reading incident is a little hazy.
However, I do know that my less-than-stellar abilities with a road map is the only reason I don't try to participate in The Amazing Race. Don't go on that show unless you can rock a road map. See, I know my limitations. My poor map-reading skills would be an endless source of stress throughout the entire race. (You also shouldn't go on that show unless you are proficient driving a standard transmission vehicle. For crying out loud stupid contestants, you'll be traveling overseas. Automatic vehicles are not automatically issued you morons.)
I think maps are too much like the stereotypical male regarding directions. A map, and most (not all) men I know give directions in terms of north and south. Ridiculous. Tell me something I can use. Tell me to turn by the white fence or take a left across from the pink elephant. Give me facts. Landmarks. That's what I need. A road name and number is nice too.
Because I'm not so great with directions, I make it a point to look around me when I park in a strange city and have to walk some distance to where I'm going. I can't be the only person who has slightly forgotten where the car is parked. I try to combat it by noticing landmarks or even writing it down.
I have gotten lost when driving, and walking, but not majorly so. I usually point in the correct direction. A recent study has proven that when people are lost in a situation with few landmarks, they will walk in a circle without even realizing it. The were hooked up to a GPS and let loose in a dense forest and in the desert. Seems when the sun or moon were not visible, they started to walk in circles. This debunked the theory that lost people walk in circles because one leg is shorter than the other. That excuse never crossed my mind.
I will forget how to get to a place. But remember how to leave from it. Re-reading that sentence even I have barely understood myself. I recall directions backwards. Which is probably why the landmark and specific road system is what works best for me. I don't have one leg shorter than the other (but one foot is smaller than the other). And I will admit when I'm lost. Just remember to make me the driver. You navigate. It will work out better that way I promise.

The Jane Ellen Experience Podcast Summary #121 08.25.09
Inglorious Basterds is the subject of much of today's show. Adam is a huge Tarantino fan and has seen the film once. He's already going back this week for a second look. There is a spoiler alert in the podcast and we do give you plenty of warning before we get to it. Without telling you the spoiler I can say that Adam thinks this may be Tarantino's best film ever. He said that the story is easier to follow in comparison to Kill Bill. Adam also said that Adam Sandler was considered for the Brad Pitt role. And then all of a sudden Adam (Cravens, Sandler couldn't make today's show) and I were pairing up movie writers and directors. Much to our amusement.
Dr. Conrad Murray will most likely be charged in the Michael Jackson case. The L.A. County Coroner says it is a homicide. The result of the drug propofol and two other sedatives resulted in a deadly cocktail for Michael.
There will be a movie made about the life of Susan Boyle. Good. An Oscar winning actor is being considered for the part of Susan. Good. So far, if I'm Susan, it's all good. Oh, and that actor is Robin Williams. Do you really want to find out that they're making a movie about you and casting a man? Ow.
PETA is taking down their billboards which are trying to promote the vegetarian lifestyle by mocking the obese. They say Save the Whales and a drawing of a morbidly obese woman in a bikini is drawn. The Obesity Action Coalition was all over it. With good reason. Seems to me PETA gets uppity over all sorts of things. And I support the ethical treatment of animals for sure. However, this billboard was the wrong approach.
It got Adam and I talking about how we became the way we are. Both of us were obese. But not now. It's worth hearing at www.thejaneellen.com.
Speaking of obese, KFC has dreamed up the Double Down chicken sandwich. It has no bread. Whaaaat? That's right, instead of bread, the two cheeses and special sauce are held together by TWO PIECES OF FRIED CHICKEN. I'm sure it's delicious. But not the thing for anyone who wants to keep their weight under control. The test markets are RI and NE. I just want a bite of it. Just a bite. "It's only wafer thin."
You have a week left to sign up for the Brien Travis CD Tales of Lazy Wednesdays. For real, it is brilliant. And I would say that even if we weren't tight. I absolutely love it. You can purchase it on iTunes and Amazon. Or win it from me!

The Jane Ellen Experience Podcast Summary #120 Mon 08.24.09
Amazing how a three-year-old can hold two four-year-olds at bay with a hose on full strength. That is some of the amusement we witnessed Sunday as our youngest celebrated her third birthday. Sand, bubbles and Legos. The basics still entertain I am pleased to report.
Jim has a theory regarding Mark Lester. Mark has been getting a lot of press lately as he is the godfather of all three of Michael Jackson's children. And he has admitted that he gave Michael some sperm. For use in having children, not to just have around the house. He also says that he would take a DNA test if necessary but he just wants to remain the godfather. Jim feels he has an agenda because if he really didn't want anything he would not have started all this discussion regarding his sperm donation.
Had no idea Hugh Hefner was still married. He married Kimberly Conrad in 1989. They have two sons together. They separated in 1998. But never divorced. She and the boys live next door to the Playboy mansion. Now she says Hef is selling the house and putting them out and owes them money. Hef says they are more than provided for. That aside, I simply had no idea he was married.
Brad Pitt is doing a lot of press for Tarantino's Inglorious Basterds. It had a great weekend at the box office. Brad was asked about Tom Cruise's film Valkyrie and apparently said the movie was ridiculous. Expect Tom to be asked about Brad's film soon.
Ricky Martin has posted new photos of his one-year-old twins Valentino and Matteo on his website. They are gorgeous boys. All three of them.
Now this part of the show you have to hear. There was an observational study of the behavior of the obese at Chinese buffets. Seems they face the buffet, sit closer to it, they don't check out the buffet first they dive in, and they eat with a fork not chopsticks. All this as opposed to people of normal weight. Having once been obese myself, I have to say more study is needed. Anyone of any size who eats at a restaurant with a buffet with any regularity already knows what food is where. You don't have to survey the buffet first. I've eaten with chopsticks once. Hilarious. Perhaps if I ate with them more often I would be several sizes smaller. But I was raised to use a fork and I'm good with that.
There's another study out that says people who are lost walk in circles not because one leg is shorter than the other, but because they simply don't know which direction straight ahead is. Someone thought one leg was shorter than the other? What the?
There's a great new recipe posted on www.thejaneellen.com. I call it the perfect pound cake for fall. It's made from the usual items a baker would have at home. But what makes this different from other pound cakes is brown sugar is used instead of granulated, and that makes a big difference. Try it out.
