Win a date with Mirelly Taylor at GoFish.com

by

Go Fish is having a fun contest where you could win a date with a celeb. Are you up for it? I guess this one would be more for the guys since the celebrity that you could win a date with is Mirelly Taylor.

You might know Mirelly Taylor from movies and television shows like Kiss me again, Serving Sara, Las Vegas, Numb3rs. You can see some Free videos at GoFish.com of her. Plus, if you visit the site you can learn just what it will take to win a date with this beautiful celebrity.

The Seduce a Celeb contest will run on GoFish.com for the next 14 weeks. To enter the contest you need to watch Mirelly’s video. You’ll learn by watching the video that you must make three different videos to correspond with the three “call to actions” that she requests. Your video entries should be creative as you want to catch the eye of the voters. Then, once you’ve created your videos all you have to do is upload them to the site and hope that your videos do well.

Site visitors can watch and vote on the various contest submissions. Some of them are hilarious!

What I like about this contest is that the online audience can actually become part of the show through their video submissions, so it’s like an online reality show. Apparently Emmy award winning Producer Scott Sternberg and hottie Andrew Firestone from the Bachelor will also be part of the show.

I kind of like the idea of this contest. I’m going to be keeping an eye on it over the next three and a half months to see what happens. Perhaps, you, one of my readers, will win?

I wonder if this turns out to be a big hit if they’ll run another Seduce a Celeb contest? Maybe a male celeb next time? That’d be interesting.

Check it out and if you’re interested submit your videos and you might win a date with Mirelly Taylor.





Free arcade games!

by

Do you like playing arcade style games? I haven’t played any for ages. I used to play a few online in the 90’s and before that, well, on some of the very old, perhaps you might call them “Beta” home game systems.

If you enjoy arcade games visit the ArcadeCow.com and Play free arcade games. If you’re a decent player you could win a prize too. You’ll need to register to become a member, but once you do, you can participate in a “High Score Contest” that began March 13th and runs through until April 14th, 2007. You could win an iPod shuffle and an iTunes gift card if you’re one of the top five high scorers. Plus, if you are the highest scorer you’ll get an additional $30 on top of the other prizes that I mentioned.

ArcadeCow is a free flash game site. There are over 2500 free online games available for both members and non members to play. That’s a huge selection of games. There’s everything from classic games to arcade, adventure, puzzle, shooting, sports, strategy and a number of other games types to choose from – check it out for yourself.

Want more information about ArcadeCow and the current contest they are holding? Read the press release that I’ve included below:

Reality Knights and www.ArcadeCow.com, a free flash games site with over 2500 free online games available to members and non-members, will be running a high score contest for Arcade Cow members from March 13th, 2007 to April 14th, 2007.

Prizes will include an iPod shuffle and iTunes gift card for the players with the top five highest scores. The top player will receive an additional $30 cash prize.

While Arcade Cow offers a free online gaming experience to both members and non-members, a free membership is required in order for gamers to participate in the high score contest, because membership allows for saved game scores.

The contest will revolve around a game called The Milkman, and there is no cost to register, participate in the high score contest, or play any of Arcade Cow’s free online games.

Arcade Cow’s free online game high score contest will have members competing for a high score while playing “The Milkman.” Players will earn points by virtually shooting a milkman as he pops up in various areas of the playing screen, which is a photo of a barn. Shooting the milkman earns various point levels, whereas misfiring costs points and will eventually end the player’s game or “life.”

Users interested in registering to participate in the free online gaming high score contest to win an iPod shuffle or cash prizes, can do so through a simple registration form at www.ArcadeCow.com.

How’d they lose the weight?

by

TvGuide online has written up an article that details how the contestants on the Biggest losers lost all that weight. Here’s some timely and hopefully helpful tips from the contestants themselves.

Amy Hildreth who lost 106 pounds says that she eats five or six small meals a day. I know for a fact that this is a good way to keep your metabolism revving. “You have to eat to lose.” “That was something that I never quite wrapped my head around before,” she says. “I thought when you’re hungry that means you’re losing weight. But that’s not the case. You need to keep your body fueled to continually lose and to have the energy to work out and perpetuate the cycle.”

Jaron Tate who lost 160 pounds says “Know how many calories your body needs and how many calories you’re actually stuffing into your mouth,” says Tate, who now eats 1,800 to 2,000 calories per day. “A quarter-pounder with cheese is 850 calories. A large apple [which weighs about the same] is 100. And if you’re having a salad, put salsa on it instead of ranch.” Two tablespoons of ranch dressing: 220 calories. Salsa: 20.

Ginnie Borque, lost 114 pounds says you should make a lot of changes in your life- “I do a lot of little things,” says Borque, one of the 36 Biggest Loser at Home dieters. “I don’t like coffee without sugar and cream, so I switched to tea. I started carrying water bottles wherever I go, traded cocktails for Diet Coke, and I fill up on broccoli instead of French fries. Oh, I also tried to make working out a social event. It’s a lot harder to skip a workout when you’ve scheduled it with a friend!”

Activity is important to Ken Coleman, who lost 161 pounds he says “Even now that the show’s over, I still work out six to seven days a week, three hours a day,” Coleman says. Of course, you don’t have to become a gym rat to slim down. But, as Coleman explains, you do need to increase your activity in as many ways as possible.

Mark Wiley, lost 129 pounds, says lose the excuses too- “‘Oh, I have back problems, work [to do] or I don’t have enough time.’ [Making] excuses: that’s what’s always held me back,” Wiley says. “If you’re short on time, do something to get your heart rate up. One morning I had a flight to catch, and I didn’t have time to go to the gym. So I ran the stairs in my building. It’s eight flights, and I did it about 20 times!”

Coupling carbs and protien helped Jennifer Eisenbarth, lost 100 pounds It’s one of the biggest lessons the plus-size model learned during her only week on the ranch. “Whenever you eat a carb, always eat a protein with it because protein helps your body process carbs more efficiently,” she says. “For example, “I love-love-love hummus. So I put it on egg whites.”

Rupert Everett quits Reality program

by

British actor Rupert Everett walked out of a celebrity version of reality TV show The Apprentice after just one day, because he hated being treated like a Big Brother contestant.

The 47-year-old star couldn’t stand the intrusiveness of the cameras and microphones on Celebrity Apprentice, a show created for British charity Comic Relief.

He says, “It is just so different from doing a feature film. I went in with good intentions but I just could not cope with the Big Brother mentality.”

Everett was one of ten celebrities, including Girls Aloud singer Cheryl Cole, to take part in the show, which will be aired in Britain in March 2007.
