Yesterday I spoke to Jill Snyder, the latest cheftestant to pack her knives and leave
Top Chef. Jill's a chef in Baltimore, MD, where she enjoys making desserts and crab cakes. She wishes she would have defended her dish better, but claims that with the cameras staring at her, she choked up.

Last week I had the wonderful opportunity to sit down with
Dale DeGroff. If you've never heard of DeGroff, you'll be surprised to know that he has changed your life. Remember that basil gimlet you enjoyed at the bar last week?

Here at Sugar UK we were lucky enough to attend
Get Lippy's fab party last night, alongside some of reality TV's hottest hunks! PopUK favourite Stuart Pilkington from Big Brother 9 chatted about how he's releasing his own makeup range for men at the beginning of next year, and was happy to receive a makeover. Stu's BB9 housemate Dale Howard was also at the party, and revealed that he's bringing out his own aftershave at the end of this year, along with the obligatory calendar.

Earlier today, at 1 p.m. PST to be exact, history was made at the
Buena Vista Cafe in San Francisco. Irish coffee making champion Frank Silletti, in conjecture with the staff of the Buena Vista, made the world's largest
Irish coffee.

In 1978 Harvey Milk, the first openly gay person elected to major office in the US, led the fight against Proposition 6. The California ballot measure would have banned gay teachers, including those already teaching, from public schools. Milk's organization against Prop.

Last night I attended the
National Television Awards to get all the gossip from the myriad of TV stars that attended! It was a chilly night outside the Royal Albert Hall in London, and the ladies
in their glam frocks were rushing down the red carpet to get in from the cold. One person who took her time though, was Davina McCall.

Yesterday I had the lovely opportunity of speaking with cookbook author and burger queen
Katie Lee Joel over the phone. She was calling from New York City to set the record straight about her
Burger Bash win.
According to her critics, the
Logan County Burger, which won fair and square, is not a burger at all, but rather a popular sandwich known as a patty melt.

A few months ago I was lucky enough to meet up with the very lovely and funny Rainn Wilson for a Q+A session about his new movie
The Rocker (out today in the UK). In the movie he stars as Robert "Fish" Fishman, a talented drummer in a hair metal band that gets kicked out by his bandmates before they go on to rock glory. He then gets a second chance at success when his nephew's rock band are looking for a new drummer, and here's what he had to say when we spoke earlier this year:
- So, Rainn, how good are you at drumming really?

Last week I had the chance to speak with
Food Network's
Guy Fieri. He's the host of three shows —
Guy's Big Bite,
Diners, Drive-ins, Dives, and
Guy Off the Hook — and winner of the
Next Food Network Star season two. Filming keeps him incredibly busy, but in his spare time, the celebrity chef — who prefers hot dogs to hamburgers and mustard to ketchup — continues to experiment in the kitchen.

In the first part of our
exclusive interview with fashion expert Caryn Franklin she shared her views on
London Fashion Week's creative approach and the designers to watch this season. Here she chats to me about how the shows have changed since the 80's and how celebrity culture has affected what we want to wear.
Q: How has London Fashion Week changed since you first started out?
