Vegemite is the popular dark brown spread made from yeast extract that hails Australia and is often the target of many food jokes. It is said that people either love Vegemite, or hate it. Rarely is there any opinion in between. I, for one, have tried it and can’t say I like it, but I don’t fault those who do. To some Vegemite is more desirable than peanut butter or nutella and is eaten regularly spread on toast, crumpets or biscuits. The newest Vegemite product to emerge lately is Vegemite Gelato. According to recent reports, the Gelatissimo ice cream chain is offering this exclusive flavor from January 24 – 30th in their stores.

So far the reaction to the new flavor has been mixed. Vegetime is said to have an umami flavor similar to beef bouillon, a questionable flavor to swirl into ice cream to say the least. If you have a jar of Vegemite on hand I might recommend spreading it on some of these delicious breads or breakfast pastries:

Medium never got the love and attention it deserved, and after seven psychic seasons on two different networks, the series comes to a close tonight. The gory crime-solving and supernatural elements of the show were fun, but the best part of the show was always its realistic portrayal of a stable, happy family, squabbles and all.
Joe and Allison DuBois are a close second to Eric and Tami Taylor for my favorite married couple on TV — playful, loving, expressive, and they’re terrific parents, too. Before Modern Family was getting all the (totally deserved!) credit for its realistic, not-at-all annoying kid actors, Medium‘s trio of blond munchkins were tearing it up. (Especially Maria Lark.) The DuBois women might be able to communicate with the dead, but they also argue over spelling tests, or who might need glasses, or who finished the cereal or passed her driving test.

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) – Second-seeded Vera Zvonareva kept alive her bid for a third consecutive Grand Slam final, beating Lucie Safarova 6-3, 7-6 (9) on Saturday to reach the fourth round of the Australian Open.
Zvonareva served for the match twice but was extended to the tiebreaker. Safarova led 4-2 and 5-3 in the tiebreaker before Zvonareva finally sealed it on her fourth match point.
She lost the Wimbledon and U.S. Open finals last year. If she goes one better and wins the Australian title, Zvonareva can move into the No. 1 ranking.

Kim Richards was checked into rehab by her family following her heated fight with sister Kyle on 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' (Thu., 9PM ET on BRAVO). A week later, she checked herself out.
During the finale of 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,' Kyle and Kim Richards started arguing at Taylor's birthday party. Kim left for the comfort of her limo, only to have Kyle join her, whereupon the fight escalated.
"Mom had to die ... and leave this [beep] on my shoulders," Kyle said on the season finale. "You are so sick. My husband has helped you every month and stood by you and taken care of you, OK, like you're his second [beep] wife!"
Kim cowered in the corner of the limo and refused to agree that Kyle had done "everything" for her.
As Adrienne failed to placate either of them, Kyle yelled, "You are a liar ... [and] you are an alcoholic! Yeah, that's right. I've said it now and everybody knows." Kyle stormed out of the limo and concluded, "You are on your own now."

Kim Richards' family checked her into rehab after the season finale of 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' but she checked herself out after just one week.
A note at the end of last night's episode said that Richards had spent time in a rehab facility and a preview of the 'Real Housewives' reunion shows host Andy Cohen asking pointedly, 'Do you have a drinking problem?'
'Real Housewives' viewers have to wait until next week to see how Richards responds to that question but she has confessed to plastic surgery, copping to 'a little Botox' and breast implants that she removed because 'I couldn't see my feet.'
Last night's episode also mentioned that Kim Richards and sister Kyle haven't spoken since the backseat brawl that led to rehab.

According to the internet media,out the latest news and updates, President Barack Obama welcomed Chinese President Hu Jintao to the White House on Wednesday with full honors, a red carpet and a colour guard. But the two leaders wasted no time in delivering pointed messages to each other at the start of day-long meetings to address trade, security and human rights issues that have been the cause of past strain between the two powers.

In his remarks at the arrival ceremony, Mr. Obama said each country had an enormous stake in the other’s future, and he then referenced human rights.

“We also know this- history shows that societies are more harmonious, nations are more successful and the world is more just when the rights and responsibilities of all nations and all peoples are upheld -- including the universal rights of every human being,” Mr. Obama said.

For his part, Mr. Hu said the relationship between the two powers should be based on “mutual respect,” with each country recognising the other’s core interests and choices of development paths -- suggesting limits to how far the U.S. can push China on issues from currency to human rights.

The state visit marked Mr. Hu’s first visit to the U.S. since 2006, when his arrival ceremony was marred by protocol blunders including an outburst from a protester from the Falun Gong spiritual sect. No such missteps occurred on Wednesday.

MIRANSHAH: Hundreds of tribesmen on Friday rallied to demand an end to US drone attacks, which they said were killing innocent people in the Tribal Areas, witnesses said.
More than 2,000 protesters staged the demonstration in Miranshah, the main town in North Waziristan, shouting slogans against the United States and its Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), responsible for the missile attacks.
Shop owners, students and other residents shouted anti-American slogans, and called for US Defence Secretary Robert Gates and the former CIA station chief in Islamabad to be brought to justice. “They should be arrested and punished by the courts in America,” said Abdul Khan, a student leader.
The United States does not confirm drone attacks, but its military and the CIA operating in Afghanistan are the only forces that deploy the unmanned aircraft in the region. In 2010, the campaign doubled missile attacks in the Tribal Areas with around 100 drone strikes killing more than 650 people, according to a tally.
Addressing on Friday’s rally, a member of a local political committee, Sarfraz Khan, denounced the drone attacks for killing innocent people, including women and children, and said that if it did not stop he would launch a long march to Islamabad in protest. Washington says wiping out the militant threat in tribal belt is crucial to win the war against Taliban in Afghanistan and defeating al Qaeda.
