Notre Dame Student Falls to His Death
Declan Sullivan, a 20-year-old Notre Dame student, fell to his death on Wednesday when the tower he was standing on collapsed while he was filming the school’s football practice. Shortly before he fell, he tweeted about being on the tower, “Holy [bleep]. Holy [bleep]. This is terrifying.” Forty-five minutes later, the tower collapsed, toppled by 60-mile-per-hour winds. Earlier, he had tweeted, “Gusts of wind up to 60 mph well today will be fun at work … I guess I’ve lived long enough.”
Hello?! As sad as this is does anyone see the irony in his last tweet?! This immediately reminds me of the Sex and the City episode (because life so oftern relates to it) when the girl from 3rd Rock From the Sun -Kristen whatever -was at the party and she was smoking by the window in a NY apartment and said I'm so bored I could die and then fell out the window!!
INSANE!!!

"Us Weekly reports Rachel Zoe is pregnant wit her husband of twelve years, Rodger. A source told the magazine, "It's very hush-hush," adding the 39-year-old stylist is "telling people she can't travel." Another source remarked to Us that Zoe was spotted drinking only water with lemon at a recent event in L.A."
A little note to Bravo..PLEASE FILM THIS! I'd die!! Love Rachel and hope she really is pregnant.

NEW MILEY
So Miley Cyrus' new music video, "Who Owns My Heart?," has been slammed by the Parents Television Council. They released the statement, "It is unfortunate that she would participate in such a sexualized video like this one. It sends messages to her fan base that are diametrically opposed to everything she has done up to this point. Miley built her fame and fortune entirely on the backs of young girls, and it saddens us that she seems so eager to distance herself from that fan base so rapidly."
It's a little on the risquè side but I like it!! It's fine....she coulda ended up like the other Disney star-you know the red head in rehab...AGAIN. Too bad the lyrics are cheesy, but the beat is fun.

Cupcakes with Booze!!
Thank you Cosmo for giving us recipes that mix baked good and alcohol. Now I can truly say..Happy Holidays!
Here is the main recipe:
Simple Vanilla Cupcakes
Makes 24 cupcakes
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups milk (preferably whole)
Preheat the oven to 375°. Line two cupcake pans with paper liners and set aside. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a large bowl using an electric mixer, beat the butter and the sugar until light and fluffy, about three minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then beat in the vanilla extract.
Add one-third of the flour mixture and beat to combine. Add half of the milk and beat to combine. Add another third of the flour, then the remaining milk, then the rest of the flour, beating to combine after each addition.
Divide the batter between the liners, filling each about 2/3 of the way full. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the cupcakes are golden-brown and spring back when pressed lightly. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, then frost with Simple Buttercream Frosting.
Simple Buttercream Frosting
Makes enough frosting for 24 cupcakes
1 3/4 sticks unsalted butter, softened
6 to 8 cups confectioners’ sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup milk (preferably whole)
In a large bowl, beat the butter with an electric mixer for 1 minute. Add 6 cups of confectioners’ sugar, the vanilla, and the milk. Beat on low speed until creamy. Gradually add the remaining confectioners’ sugar, a little at a time, until the frosting is thick and creamy.
9 Boozy Variations
1. Mint Julep Cupcakes: When preparing the cupcakes, reduce the vanilla extract to 1 teaspoon and add one teaspoon of bourbon. When preparing the frosting, reduce the milk to 1/4 cup and add 1/4 cup of bourbon. Garnish with chopped fresh mint leaves.

4. Dark and Stormy Cupcakes: When preparing the cupcakes, add 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger with the flour. Reduce the vanilla extract to 1 teaspoon and add with 1 teaspoon of dark rum.

Decorate with chopped chocolate covered coffee beans.
6. Lemon Drop Cupcakes: When preparing the cupcakes, reduce the vanilla to 1 teaspoon and add 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice and 1 heaping tablespoon freshly grated lemon zest.

7. Sangria Cupcakes: When preparing the cupcakes, add 1 teaspoon cinnamon with the flour and 1 tablespoon freshly grated orange zest with the eggs.
