Salmonella Concerns Cause Pistachio Recall

California based Setton Farms has issued a pistachio recall. One million pounds of pistachios are involved in the attempt to discover the source of the salmonella contamination.

Setton Farms, the second largest pistachio processor in the United States, supply pistachios to the Georgia Nut Company who make Kraft Back to Nature Nantucket Blend trail mix. It’s thought this mix may contain pistachios contaminated with nuts from Setton Farms.

The pistachios were also sent to about three dozen wholesalers, who repackaged them and resold them to other customers. As a result, authorities are saying the recall was likely to expand as the pistachios were traced to processed foods like ice cream and cake mixes.

According to the FDA this pistachio recall has nothing to do with the peanut butter recall that happened recently, although both were related to salmonella

So far, no illnesses have been reported.

At this time of posting there is no mention of the problem on the Setton Farms website.

David Letterman Reveals He Secretly Got married

Celebrity marriages are all the go.

Now we hear David Letterman has tied the knot with his longtime girlfriend Regina Lasko at the Teton County Courthouse in Choteau, Montana.

The two met about 10 years ago when she worked for him on his TV show. Regina is the mother of his son, Harry, born in November 2003.

On his TV show he explained that the family's truck got stuck in the mud en route to the courthouse and he had to walk two miles back to the house in a 50 mph wind." He said. "It's not Beverly Hills -- it's Montana.

"And the whole way, I'm thinking, 'See, smart ass, see you try to get married and this is what happens'".

After getting his car from home, five-year-old son Harry says, "'Are we still going into town?'. He got very upset because mom had told him if I wasn't back in an hour, the deal was off."

Before this Letterman was married for seven years to Michelle Cook who had been his childhood sweetheart.

Bruce Willis marries his girlfriend

Bruce Willis has married Emma Heming, the girlfriend he’s been dating since last year.

The ceremony took place at Willis’ home in the Turks & Caicos on Saturday.

Those beautiful islands are situated 575 miles southeast of Miami and 39 miles south east of Mayaguana in the Bahamas.

They were all there...Willis’ daughters, Rumor, 20, Scout, 17, and Tallulah Belle, 14, and their mother, Willis' ex. Demi Moore, along with her current husband Ashton Kutcher. Some say Madonna was among the guests, others say she wasn’t. Who cares?

It seems the couple will be having a civil ceremony when they return to California.

The wedding coincided with Willis's birthday: he became 54 two days before the wedding. Heming is 32. Hope he can keep up with her. Hate him to Die Hard.

Also looks like there’s another Hollywood wedding on the horizon. Apparently 66 year-old Harrison Ford is said to have popped the question to 44 year-old “Ally McBeal” star Calista Flockhart on Valentines Day.

They have been together for seven years and have a son together so good to see Harrison doing the right thing.

Mr. Belvedere Comes to DVD

The TV sitcom Mr. Belvedere has at long last been released on DVD featuring the first two seasons of the series.

The series ran in the U.S. from 1985 to 1990.

It starred the late Christopher Hewett as Mr. Belvedere, a well-travelled Englishman who responds to a housekeeping ad for the Owens family in a suburb of Pittsburgh.

Much to the dismay of the father George and to the delight of the three children he awards himself the job.

It was all about growing up and getting on with each other.

Belvedere’s role expanded way beyond being the butler while all the father, (a sports columnist), seemed to do was whine all the time

As each episode ended Belvedere would write the lessons that had been learned that day in his diary.

The series never excelled in the ratings yet it gathered enough followers for it to last six seasons all up.

The episodes are uncut on the DVDs with a special feature being a 15 minute “Making Of” featuring new interviews with four of the surviving cast members.

“MR. BELVEDERE SEASONS 1 & 2” is now released from Shout Factory.

Mixed Martial Arts Hero "Mask" Dies in Ferrari Crash

From small beginnings Mixed Martial Arts (MMI) has become a billion dollar business.

Its first appearance on network TV in June delivered 3 million households to the CBS network.

The sport mixes the moves of boxing, kick-boxing, wrestling, judo, jujitsu and other fighting formats.

It's played in an eight-sided ring which is enclosed by chain-link fencing which is why it's commonly referred to as cage fighting.

U.S. Senator John McCain once described it as "human cockfighting." In fact, it's illegal in 18 states.

The combatants are minimally protected, barefoot and wearing only boxer boxing shorts and padded fingerless gloves.

As the sport attracted more and more mainstream followers companies manufacturing and selling an ever-growing array of products aimed at the fans popped up.

One of those companies is California based TapouT that boasts a line of clothing, a magazine and even a reality TV show.

The faces of the brand are known as the TapouT crew who have big persona similar to wrestlers. Their leader and founder was known simply as "Mask". His real name was Charles Lewis Jnr.

I say "was" because he has just been killed when his speeding red Ferrari crashed into a light pole near Newport Beach, Cal.

Reports say he was street racing with a white 1977 Porsche. A female passenger in his car, believed to have been his girlfriend, was taken to hospital with broken bones including a broken arm.

The driver of the Porsche didn't stop but was arrested along with a woman passenger by police a little distance away.

Could have been a lot worse as the incident happened in a suburban area where there can be a lot of people about.Lucky it was 1am.

Michael Jackson - The Final Moonwalk?

Michael Jackson was white faced when he got up to announce the dates for his "This Is It!" concerts in London.

Was he nervous?

Oh. No. Wait. He always looks like that.

He did look pretty cheerful for a guy who hasn't had a major tour for ten years and has been pursued in that time by accusations of being a pedophile, being mentally unstable and being broke .

Anyway it seems the shows are going to be at the O2 Arena. The first one is July 8th, and he’ll perform every other night

Until July 18th with a day’s rest between every show. Then he’ll take a four-night break before his next date, July 22nd.

After that, only three shows remain: July 24th, 26th and 28th.

Well, he is 50 and probably needs some recovery time.

He announced: “This is it. I just want to say these will be my final show performances in London. I’ll be performing the songs my fans want to hear — this is it. This is really it. This is the final curtain call.”

Yes. We believe you, Michael.

Well there have been no mention of plans to perform anywhere else.

And are people still interested in going to see the man-child perform?

Sure looks that way. Over a million people have signed up for an early chance at getting tickets.

Meantime, cashing in on the second coming of Michael, American Idol decided to have the top thirteen contestants sing Michael Jackson songs.

A big risk, because, having hosted Karoake shows, I know no-one can sing a Michael Jackson song like Michael Jackson.

Want a rumour? OK. Michael Jackson is planning his own US reality TV show.

Unreal.
