Introducing the Pawpaw; the Real Deal With Staging

• Introducing the Pawpaw, a "secret" mangolike fruit that grows native on this soil; Thomas Jefferson was reportedly really into them.

• Attention, people with more money than sense: Why not spend $85 on this Starbucks and Alexander Wang collaboration in the form of a fake-coffee-stained shirt?

• You know the restaurants: reviled by critics, beloved by diners. Pulino's is one such mysterious example.
• If you need some challah for the High Holidays, considering dropping by William Greenberg Desserts, which has been in the Jewish bakery biz for 65 years.
• Before you quit your job to go stage in some temple of gastronomy, here's what it's really like.

The article highlighting a trip around suburban Washington, D.C. to gather the pawpaw, and taste it, noted that pawpaws have only recently been commercialized. The fruit, which is high in fatty acids and antioxidants (like an avocado), but has a custardy, pale, sweet flesh (like a banana) grows along a large swath of the Southern, Southeastern and Midwest states. It is commonly reffered to as the Hoosier banana.

While it is hard to find the fruit at a supermarket, Kentucky State University, which runs an agricultural extension program aimed at expanding knowledge about the fruit, has a list of nurseries that sell young trees.

Pawpaws can be eaten fresh, up to two days after they are ripe, or substituted for bananas in a multitude of recipes. A favorite of the Ohio Pawpaw Festival, which honors the fruits is blending yogurt, honey, cinnamon and a pinch of salt to make a 'pawpaw lassi.'

Holly Madison Insures Her Breasts For $1 Million

Holly Madison is protecting her most valuable assets. The Playboy bunny insured her breasts for $1 million with Lloyd’s of London.

People Magazine reports that Madison took out her new boob insurance policy to protect herself and the people that perform with her in the Las Vegas production, “Peep Show.” Madison told People Magazine:

“”I’ve heard about people getting body parts insured and I thought, why not? If anything happened to my boobs, I’d be out for a few months and I’d probably be out a million dollars. I thought I’d cover my assets.”

Madison’s breasts have made her a lot of money. It seems only right that she is returning the favor.

Madison said:

“I think it’s kind of funny. I think they’re getting the credit they deserve. They’re my primary money makers right now.”

Here’s a picture of Holly Madison and her valuable breasts, you know, in case you were wondering what exactly this article was about.



Madison, who is currently appearing in Las Vegas (occasionally topless) for the “Striptease Spectacular” Peep Show, first gained fame when she stayed at the Playboy Mansion during “The Girl’s Next Door.” Madison was also a tabloid favorite when she dated Hugh Hefner in 2008.

The International Business Times reports that in 2001 Holly Madison had breast implants that brought her from an A-cup to a D-cup. And it looks like that investment has paid off.

Madison isn’t the only person to take out an insurance policy on something a little… different. Troy Polamalu insured his hair for a million dollars last year. Lloyd’s of London has also insured Michael Flatley of River Dance’s feet, Kieth Richard’s fingers, and Celine Dion’s vocal chords.

What do you think of Holly Madison’s investment? Are Holly Madison’s breasts so spectacular that they warrant their own insurance policy?
