melissa d arabian:next food network star winner

The title of `The Next Food Network Star` was last night won by Melissa d`Arabian.

Melissa D’Arabian beat the “ingredient smuggler” Jeffrey Saad in tonight’s incredibly boring season finale of Next Food Network Star.

Melissa deArabian, the mother of four from Texas and the absolute underdog heading into Season 5 of "The Next Food Network Star," won the competition tonight, beating Los Angeles' Jeffrey Saad, the front-runner in this race literally from Day 1. Melissa now stars in her own cooking show, and it starts in just one week.

She flew under the radar every week, and pretty much bored us to tears the entire time. At least Debbie Lee got people talking, and Michael Proietti got people laughing. Melissa D’Arabian just had us reaching for our No-Doz.

For their final challenge, both Melissa and Jeffrey delivered mock pilots of their shows, and both excelled. No surprise there. Food Network's Alton Brown helped them put the pilots together, and he warned Food Network execs that they would have their work cut out for them. It was deemed the hardest decision in five seasons of the show.

In the end, it's hard to say why the selection panel chose Melissa -- they didn't really say. But Melissa clearly has a bigger potential audience -- that would be anyone, man or woman, looking into a bare pantry and trying to slam dinner on the table. That said, it's hard to believe that Jeffrey won't be rewarded in some way for his outstanding talents. Perhaps a show melding travel and food?

kristen stewart drinking beer

Naughty! Naughty!

Paparazzi are so cool, creeping up on people in there spare time.

We know Kristen Stewart loves the green herb . But it appears K-Stew enjoys breaking several laws.

Kristen Stewart, who just turned 19 years old in April, was shooting the shit and unwinding with some coworkers at an on-set party after a long day of filming her new Runaways biopic. And while she didn't bring her peace pipe, K-Stew is clearly seen drinking a Heineken.

Oops, someone needs to remind the 19 year-old she isn’t in Canada anymore.

The video that Hilton speaks of has since been removed due to complaints by Stewart’s publicist that it was shot illegally on private property. I am sure Stewart’s publicist would have the same response if she was drinking a bottle of water.

Natalie Smith is Tony Romo's New Girlfriend

Jessica Simpson was dumped by Tony Romo on the eve of her 29th birthday earlier this month. But according to reports, the Dallas Cowboys quarterback was having an "emotional affair" with another woman months before the split.

Tony was involved with Natalie Smith, who happens to be a younger, skinnier look-alike of Jessica, reports USWeekly.

Natalie Smith, who attended a Jessica Simpson concert with Tony Romo in February, is reportedly involved in an “intimate relationship” with the Dallas Cowboys quarterback.

“They’ve always flirted and texted each other. They had phone conversations one to two months before the breakup,” said a source.

“We hung out for, like 10 to 15 minutes, backstage,” Smith tells Us Weekly. “She was cool and nice.”

Natalie is the 22-year-old daughter of John Smith, the associate athletic director at Tony Romo’s alma mater, Easter Illinois University, and has known Romo since he was in college.
