Fitness Goes to the Dogs

Posted on by

Do you remember the scene in One Hundred and One Dalmatians when Pongo comments on how dogs and their owners often look the same? It’s a mildly humorous statement, yet it can be accurate.

Of the thousands of young children that I have worked with, … Continue reading →

Apparently, imitation is not the sincerest form of flattery… at least not to Paris Hilton. The millionairess has just filed a lawsuit against Hallmark Cards over the use of her picture and catchphrase “That’s hot.” The card company reportedly designed a greeting card with a title that reads: “Paris’s First Day as a Waitress.” Underneath the line is a photo of Hilton’s face sitting on a cartoon version of a waitress serving a plate of food to a diner.
