Celebrity Chef and Food Activist

The Food Revolution and Food Revolution Day is about empowering people through education or, frankly, just inspiring people to be more street-wise about food, where it comes from and how it affects their bodies.

Reyne Haines, 05/17/12

TV Personality; Author; Host NBC's "Trash or Treasure"

Have you ever wondered how films transport the moviegoer to another place in time? No graphic enhancements needed, just a great prop master.

Linda Bacon, Ph.D., MA, MA, 05/14/12

Author, Researcher, Professor

By focusing on health, we can address real health concerns, giving both fat and thin people the support they deserve and avoiding stigmatizing people and worsening the problem.

Editor In Chief, Starry Constellation Magazine

Female domination took hold of the 2011-2012 season and shook it to its foundation. Strong female figures didn't just dip their toes in the waters of television; they made a massive cannon ball.

Bob Harper, 05/14/12

Fitness expert, television star and author

My new book is a rule book for your life as a healthy-weight person, a person who can enjoy delicious food in the right portions and be satisfied.

If Game of Thrones continues in this vein, the show may actually overcome its reputation as a gratuitous-gore-and-sex fest and become one of HBO's all-time greatest shows.

Zinnia Jones, 05/16/12

Orlando-based atheist activist, parent, and video blogger

It's bullying to dismiss our rights simply by uttering the word "tradition." It's bullying to assume that excluding us from marriage demands no more justification than merely vomiting out your opinion. And pretending to be the victim after you've attacked our families is the act of a bully.

Samantha Zalaznick, 05/16/12

Zagat Editor and TV Watcher

Even the Devil drinks a Sno Ball and even Mad Men can get hit in the face. "Dark Shadows" just wasn't on its usual high level of awesomeness.

Jon Eig, 05/16/12

Professor of Screenwriting and Film History, Montgomery College

This is standard operating procedure for female characters on Glee. I think there is an assumption by the producers that female characters cannot be interesting if they are not mean and/or selfish.

James Franco, 05/16/12

Actor and author

Commencement speeches are the worst kind of speech, because you need to be enthusiastic and inspiring in your own voice. There is nothing cheesier than that.

Eduard Leonard, 05/16/12

Member of Overtone, a six-member, all-male vocal group featured on 'Mrs. Eastwood & Company'

I have learned a lot about myself and have come to terms with my innermost conflicts regarding my sexuality. Initially I did not want to reveal my sexual orientation on the show, because there were many people back home in South Africa who had yet to find out.

Eve Simon, 05/16/12

Creative director, Beaconfire

The opportunity to engage a mainstream audience in something more profound than reality TV is what made me hopeful for Smash in the first place. Color me naïve. That was never going to happen.

Michele Willens, 05/16/12

Journalist, playwright and editor, 'Face It: What Women Really Feel as Their Looks Change'

So, in one day I heard that Harry's Law -- a show I enjoyed for its wit and intelligence as much as the fact that its lead character was a 63-year-old woman -- was being canceled, and I gave Girls on HBO one more chance. I say "ugh" to both.

Tasha Gordon-Solmon, 05/15/12

Playwright

The time has come again to watch 25 men with questionable sanity vie for the affections of one woman with questionable desirability.

Roseanne Colletti, 05/16/12

Emmy Award winning correspondent, News 4 New York

We've got the scoop on Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, Bill and Guiliana Rancic, Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick and Lea Michele and Cory Monteith.

Writer and Ph.D. candidate

In many ways, "The Magician's Code" is the quintessential HIMYM episode, as funny as almost any show on television when it's willing to put in the effort, but more often than not falling into unnecessary plot twists,

Sarah Roberts, 05/15/12

18-year-old high school student and mother

Sixteen and pregnant. It wasn't exactly the dream I'd had while I was in my junior year of high school. I dreamt of moving away to college and living in a dorm. But when I got the news that I was pregnant, everything changed.

Marlo Thomas, 05/15/12

Award-winning actress, author, and activist

I couldn't get away from it. My girlfriends were talking about it; columnists were writing about it; Saturday Night Live was spoofing it. It was all I heard about.

Maryjane Fahey, 05/15/12

Co-author of 'Dumped', a breakup bible for women

My maternal instincts were outed yet again as I watched another episode of Girls. I know these girls. I am surrounded by them in real life. I want to save them all.
