Good luck talking to "Entourage" star Debi Mazar and her husband Gabriele Corcos without getting hungry.

The couple are the hosts of the new Cooking Channel show "Extra Virgin," and they have a way with words that makes apparent their passion for food. That's why they agreed to let cameras into their home to film the show, which combines their love of cooking with their love of family.

"You would not be inspired if I was like in some dope kitchen with all the accouterments and everything fake," Mazar said. "When you come into our house you get a flavor for our life, our travels, our kids, our 18-year-old poodle who is like blind, deaf and incontinent but so happy."

In a conference call on Tuesday he joked with reporters while talking about the difficulty in judging young talent and opening up on his experiences so far on the show.

He said he had no apprehensions about coming on board as judge, and didn’t feel like he had to forge an identity on the panel given his identity as the lead singer of Aerosmith.

On last night's episode of "Parenthood," nearly all the parents were wondering or fighting about whether they were doing something to screw up their kids.

At the dress rehearsal for the first grade play, Jabbar develops stage fright and doesn’t want to do the play anymore. Cousin Sydney, however, is happy to step up. Crosby seems very disappointed. At home he tries to explain the concept of butterflies and why it's important to try even if he's scared. 

Mom Jasmine, who spends time on stage, joins in the conversation, but tells Jabbar he doesn't have to do it, without discussing it with Crosby. Which is strange, considering she recently yelled at Crosby for not backing her up. And I swear I saw her look at him like, "let's see how you like it when I play the good parent for a change."

Being Bella isn't easy — or so says "Twilight" star Kristen Stewart in the February issue of Vogue.

Though she has played Stephenie Meyer's fictional heroine since 2008, Stewart feels additional pressure to do the character justice now that the two-part "Breaking Dawn" finale is bringing the saga to a close.

“[She is] a character who is embedded in so many people’s psyches at this point," Stewart, 20, says of Bella. "It’s starting to enter my head a lot more than it used to because it’s at the end and it’s come such a long way. I just want the fans of the book to be happy. I don’t necessarily care about anyone else.”
