She’s Gaga for Second Helpings

September 20, 2012

Divabetic SummerWeight gain is no fun for anyone especially if it’s caught on camera! So why is everyone obsessed over celebrities gaining weight?!

Apparently, Lady Gaga, like screen legend Sophia Loren, can credit spaghetti for her new curves.  Diva fans will may recall actress, Sophia Loren once said,  ”Everything you see I owe to spaghetti.”

Lady Gaga started her new tour in Amsterdam by admitting she has put on 25 pounds, Gaga says she’s not concerned; she’s an Italian girl from New York who loves to eat.

“I’m dieting right now, because I gained, like, 25 pounds,” Gaga told radio host Elvis Duran when she called into his show just before she hit the road. “And you know I really don’t feel bad about it, not even for a second. I have to be on such a strict diet constantly. It’s hard because it’s a quite vigorous show, so I tend to bulk up, get muscular, and I really don’t like that. So I’m trying to find a new balance.”

Cruel critics have suggested that Gaga’s weight gain is the result of the amount of alcohol she consumes, but Gaga begs to differ, confirming it’s from her dad’s Italian cooking.

“I love eating pasta and pizza,” says Gaga. “I’m a New York Italian girl. That’s why I have been staying out of New York. My father [Joe Germanotta] opened a restaurant. It’s so amazing … it’s so freaking delicious, but I’m telling you I gain five pounds every time I go in there. So my dad wants me to eat at the restaurant, and I’m, like, I’ve got to go where I can drink green juice.”

Ben And Jerry’s Newest Limited Batch Flavor

September 20, 2012

Divabetic SummerDivabetic’s Diabetes Roundtable podcast guest star, Mama RoseMarie will be happy to learn that Ben & Jerry’s newest Limited Batch flavor is  italian-inspired,  Cannoli ice cream. The flavor, a mascarpone ice cream with fudge covered cannoli pieces and a mascarpone swirl, will be available for a three to four months in the U.S., and is starting to hit shelves now.

You may be thinking to yourself, “Wait, isn’t this just Holy Cannoli again?” The ice cream innovators have decided to mix things up a bit. According to the Ben & Jerry’s Facebook page, “We made a cannoli flavor with ricotta before and it bombed. It was called Holy Cannoli. This is a new take on it and we think it tastes better than Holy Cannoli did. We hope you do too!”

Remember,  ice cream, like everything else can be enjoyed in moderation.

We asked Ben & Jerry’s PR Extraordinaire Liz Stewart what made them decide to try cannoli again. She said, “Whenever we develop a new flavor, we start with a big, sky’s-the-limit idea and narrow it down from there. So, before Holy Cannoli was Holy Cannoli years ago, we had LOTS of different batches of what we thought a cannoli-flavored ice cream might taste like. Putting out a different cannoli ice cream flavor is our chance to show our fans just how much we love playing with our food: we love it so much that we don’t just stop at one final flavor!”

Stewart let us know that Cannoli ice cream will be available until around January, when it will have to make room for their next super-secret flavor (no hints on what that will be yet). You’ll be able to find Cannoli ice cream at major food and drug retailers.
