Feed Your Brain: First was cocaine, then there was coca-cola, then came crack, followed by Red Bull (energy drinks) and now theirs an inhalable caffeine called AeroShot that’s coming to America in 7 days. Watch your kids!

AeroShot™ Pure Energy delivers a dry, airborne shot of fast-acting energy. A quick boost of caffeine mixed with B vitamins that’s ready anytime, anyplace.

All you have to do is pull the lime green lever and inhale a shot of powder.

AeroShot contains 100 mg of powdered caffeine and a mix of B vitamins, the same amount of the good stuff that’s in a large cup of coffee.

Friendly Reminder: Don’t forget to pick up a bottle of Champagne and put it on ice before next year.

Toast!

Feed Your Brain: My top 3 most addictive snacks of 2011:

1. Sweet and Spicy Pecans from Trader Joes (drool) the sight of them in aisle 5 made me itch like a crack head and dance like James Brown every time. A friend I will never forgive put me on these and I think about them every day. If you haven’t tried them yet, do yourself a favor and don’t do it! Unless you have a gym membership, trainer and dog to help you lose the weight that you will gain from snacking on them. I just read on fatsecret.com that there’s 190 calories in 1 serving…now I have no clue what constitutes as one serving but I know its not half a bag which is what my minimum serving was per day…half day.

2. Trader Joes Dark Chocolate Almonds - funny thing is they actually look like crack rocks so my addiction to them is THAT much funnier to me. I don’t usually like chocolate I actually hated it as a child unless it was a Twix bar, in which case I wasn’t sharing with noooo body. What are they? They’re delicious almonds covered in dark cocoa with a light sprinkle of sea salt and turbinado sugar. Whoever decided to write Turbinado on the cover of the container instead of raw sugar was a genius! I won’t lie I had no clue what the hell Turbinado was, I just knew it made me feel good. I knew it was probably bad for my health but I didn’t want to ruin the fun so I waited a week before I googled the word to find out that it was raw sugar. I think I’ll remain an addict for the rest of my life.

3. Le Gourmand Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies.

When I was living in Toronto I ate these cookies every Friday as a personal reward to myself for getting through the week, then every Wednesday as a personal reward for getting half way through the week, then after a short while every Monday as a nice kick off snack…”getting through a week” meant nothing, it was just a title I used to justify my growing addiction to the cookies, I went from eating from weekly to daily. The only way I was able to knock the addiction was when the owner of Le Gourmand filed for bankruptcy. It was the best and worst thing to ever happen to me. Holly Samsonite I just realized that Le Gourmand cookies were the combination of my first two snack addictions with some flour thrown into the mix (drool).

Any suggestions for my top 3 snack addictions for 2012?

Feed Your Brain: My pick for best and worst comedy film of 2011.

Best Comedy of 2011: Bridesmaids - I cried, I laughed, I cackled, I choked on my saliva and then I laughed some more. I actually missed half of the movie because I was laughing so hard.

Worst Comedy of 2011: Your Highness - One of the worst movies I’ve ever seen in my life, possibly the worst film ever made, next to The Time Machine that remains the worst movie ever in my books. I waited for something funny to happen, I even prayed midway through the film and nothing happened it just remained shitty. I thought about asking for my money back but I knew that wouldn’t be enough for me, I needed my memory erased by Will Smith’s pen in Men in Black. The WORST!

IN THE NEWS: It went down, today my favorite b-ball player Chris Paul was officially traded to the LA Lakers. YES, finally I can start rocking yellow and purple again. I haven’t had a favorite player on the Lakers since Magic Johnson retired. This is good news, although I would have LOVED it if he went and joined Carmelo in NY that would’ve been AMAZING! Word on the web is that Dwight Howard is about to make his way to Orlando any second now…

What’s that Chris Paul’s getting his own reality show?! KIDDING! Hollywood will make you do things.

Feed Your Eyes & Brain: My ‘Top Closet’s I Would Love to Raid’ list is growing. Here’s the updated list:

1. Diana Ross’ closet from 1970-1990. I have no words when I see throwback pics of Ms. Ross killin it consistently with her fashion choices. 60 seconds to play dress up in her closet would be a dream come true!

2. Prince’s closet from 1976-present day. Did you see the custom tailored figure skating outfit he wore at his Madison Sq Garden show, it was everything and some!

3. Rihanna’s closet from 2007-present day (I like the tomboy, ‘long hair don’t care’ phase that she’s going through right now - who wants to be a Covergirl all the time?)

4. Model, Natasha Poly’s closet from 2010 - present day. Polly rocks black on black everything which is so necessary sometimes, even on the hottest day of the year.

5. The closet on the set of Pan Am, LOVE that show! If you haven’t seen it yet, catch up on your next lazy Sunday.

…stay tuned for more…
