Q: Will Kristin Chenoweth be returning to The Good Wife? —Laura C., Biloxi, Miss.

A: Chenoweth, 44, was in two episodes this season, but her recurring role as a political journalist was sidetracked when a light fixture fell on her during

Alan Young with Mister Ed in 1962

Q: Did Alan Young, who played Wilbur on Mister Ed, continue to keep horses in his life after the show ended in 1966?

Q: How many pianos does Elton John take on tour?

—Roger N., Fort Wayne, Ind.

A: John has five 9-footlong Yamaha grand pianos, each of which he’s named, and he takes different ones on various legs of his world tour. He just returned from South America, where he played on Aretha, Kay, and a red piano called Nikita.

He’s now in the U.S. with Nina. His fifth, Winifred, is in Europe.

WALTER SCOTT ASKS…

JEREMY PIVEN

The actor, 47, stars as the American who in 1909 founded Britain’s famed Selfridges department store, in Mr. Selfridge (March 31, PBS Masterpiece Classic).

What impressed you about Harry Selfridge? He came up with the concept that the customer is always right, and he was the mastermind behind the fancy window displays we see today.

Were you disappointed you couldn’t practice your British accent, since he was a Yank? I was, but I think this role was meant for me. We’re both from the Midwest, and I grew up going to the Marshall Field’s department store in Chicago, where he got his start.

What was it like switching from HBO, where you played Ari Gold on Entourage, to PBS? Being on Masterpiece Classic is like telling a Jewish mother you’re a doctor—it’s instant street cred.

You met Prince Harry and he called you Ari. Did you remind him that you’re an actor? I was just flattered that he knew my work. Plus, I knew the name of my next character would be easy for him to remember!

Already people are screaming “Harry” instead of “Ari.”

filming last July. “I’ve been healing,” she says. “I had a broken nose, a concussion, and a skull fracture. I was out of commission for over two months. Performing at the Oscars was a personal triumph for me.” The actress, now starring in the comedy Family Weekend (on demand and in theaters later this week), says she’d love to return to The Good Wife “if the timing is right. <

A: “After Mister Ed I didn’t want anything to do with horses, because I felt like I was cheating on Ed,” says the 93-year-old actor, who is also the voice of Scrooge McDuck. “Working with that dear animal was a joy. We were buddies. I learned to ride on him, and he was very thoughtful about my lack of ability.”

BLAKE SHELTON’S BASED ON A TRUE STORY…

LIBERACE / MICHAEL DOUGLAS Behind the Candelabra HBO, May 26

As much fun as he’s having on The Voice, Shelton saves the real party for his music. On his new album, he sings about girls, trucks, and missing home when he’s in Hollywood. It’s a rollicking good time.

Novelist Kent Haruf (Plainsong) delivers a profoundly moving tale about life, death, and the ties that bind the residents of a small Colorado town.

REVOLUTION LIGHTS UP MONDAYS NBC’s hit drama about anarchy in a world without power returns March 25, with its band of heroes bent on stopping General Monroe’s feudal reign. Miles (Billy Burke, above center) “is like an addict who fell off the wagon,” says creator Eric Kripke. “He has to give in to his dark side to win.”

Spanning the years 1939 to 1941, Lynne Olson’s masterful book relives America’s debate over whether to go to war—a bitter clash personified by FDR and Charles Lindbergh.

rad paisley needs his morning jolt. he waits patiently

in line at the Frothy Monkey, his favorite caffeinated haunt, housed in an old parsonage near his farm in Franklin, Tenn. Though the Monkey is teeming, Paisley doesn’t attract much fanfare. Dressed in tight black jeans, a black sweatshirt, and motorcycle boots, he’s missing his trademark white Stetson, which tacks a good six inches onto his height.

Greeting the baristas by name, he smiles and orders his regular cappuccino.

He sips it carefully, seeming to savor every drop. “There’s something about getting the foam and the cream just right,” Paisley says. “That’s a real art.” He became a coffee devotee during a soul-expanding 2001 trip

FAVORITE NASHVILLE SPOTS The Grand Ole Opry, where he first played in 1999 (and where our cover was shot, in the Stars and Stripes dressing room), tops his list. Artisan Guitars is another regular stop; here, Paisley chats with cofounders Bill and Ellie Warmoth.

Guitars, his go-to shop in Franklin. A temple to the guitar gods, it has hundreds of gorgeous acoustic models, some priced well into the five figures, glistening in the semi-humid, climate-controlled air. Paisley is here to get a new Martin acoustic, and right after the clerk hands it to him, he starts picking with lightning speed. Revered by many as one of the best guitarists in music today, he’s been collecting the instruments since receiving his first one, a Sears Danelectro Silvertone, from his grandfather when he was 8. When Paisley’s in town, he’ll stop

by Artisan a couple times a week just to hang, try out some new gear, and needle the staff. “He gave me such grief when my only child left for college,” says Artisan’s cofounder Ellie Warmoth. “He’s got such a wicked—almost sadistic—sense of humor; he’d just sit there with that grin and say, ‘Ellie, what are you going to do now? Are you lonely?’ I wanted to kill him, but he’ll find out what that’s like someday.”

Paisley and his wife have two young sons, Huck, 6, and Jasper, 3. The couple famously met when he cast her in the video for his 2002 hit “I’m Gonna Miss Her,” after seeing her performance in Father of the Bride. “I used the video as a way to say hi, and it worked well. I did not,” he says, his eyes betraying him with a mischievous glint, “think she would end up as my wife.”

Whatever his intentions, the connection was strong. They married in 2003, and WilliamsPaisley relocated to Nashville, where they moved into a custom-made log cabin built on a 100-acre spread. Their homestead is a farm with horses and some heavy equipment that is ostensibly for work purposes, but when Paisley is with his boys, the machines become giant playground toys.

During a rare day off, Paisley says, they may motor around in a bulldozer and ride horses before visiting the Nashville zoo or watching episodes of the original Battlestar Galactica (circa 1978) or Star Wars. Paisley is a huge science fiction junkie, naming The Empire Strikes Back as one of his favorite movies—just after It’s a Wonderful Life—and he gets as fired up as a lightsaber over the recent announcement of new Star Wars films. “I couldn’t be more excited,” he says.

“They’re going to do it right.”

Though Williams-Paisley cut back on acting during their sons’ early years, she now has a role on ABC’s musical drama Nashville.

Paisley is proud of his wife, but don’t expect him to cameo on the show (“They’ve asked, but it’s a little odd, having Kim on there playing somebody else”), or even tune in. “I can’t watch it,” he says. “It is really good, but it’s disturbing to me, too close to what I do. It’s like if I was in the CIA, I don’t know if I’d Watch our exclusive watch Homeland. But I’m not, so I do.” In fact, video from the shoot at Parade.com/paisley Paisley, who says spying could have been his

to Italy, the idea of his then girlfriend (now wife), actress Kimberly Williams-Paisley.

“She really pushed me to go somewhere where they don’t speak English, where the food is amazing and you’re completely out of your element,” he says later, guiding his black Chevy Tahoe through Franklin, 20 minutes south of Nashville. “That’s kind of the thing that started me on the path to making this album. I was the last person to say ‘open your mind’ back then. But not anymore.”

“There’s a warmth to people in Nashville,” says Paisley (above, at the Frothy Monkey). “It’s a The album Paisley is great place to live.” Right, with his wife, referring to is Wheelhouse, due actress Kimberly Williams-Paisley, last year.

April 9. It’s his eighth studio effort and a pinnacle in his career, a work he’s laid the foundation for over the past 14 years. Paisley, 40, occupies a rarefied position: He’s a country superstar who writes wry songs about picking up girls (the 2007 smash “Ticks”) but also thoughtful, observant lyrics that tackle heady topics. On Wheelhouse, he makes his boldest statements yet, with a few tracks that could raise the eyebrows of fans who prefer their country music without controversy.

“Accidental Racist” finds the song’s character acknowledging the repercussions of slavery, with Paisley’s good friend LL Cool J providing a guest rap that pleads for acceptance and racial harmony. “Brad’s not afraid to express himself,” says LL Cool J. “What other country artist, or any artist right now, talks about slavery?” Paisley tackles religion in “Those Crazy Christians,” written from the viewpoint of a nonbeliever. Born and raised a Southern Baptist in West Virginia, Paisley is still a churchgoer (and an appreciator of traditions like Lent, for which he gave up bread this year), but he likes looking at topics from different angles. “This is what I would consider a gospel song, the most important one I’ve ever done—a lot more important to me than ‘What a Friend We Have in Jesus,’ ” he says. “I wrote it shortly after my cousin-in-law passed away in 2011. He was young, and he fought against a debilitating disease. There weren’t five minutes of intensive care that there weren’t at least two church members at the hospital, around the clock, and I remember thinking, what makes people take shifts for somebody they haven’t known very long? Well, it’s belief. To play the part of the skeptic in that song is a much more powerful argument to me—in favor of [belief ] as well as looking at some of the things that are baffling. My most devout friends love it and so do my agnostic ones, but for very different reasons.”

Paisley says he isn’t too worried if the edgier material on Wheelhouse doesn’t click with all his fans. “Maybe I’m naive, but I give them a lot of credit for having been with me a long time and knowing me really well.

So it’s not like with one album I’m a whole new guy. I’ve had a great career, and if I don’t have one after this …”—he chuckles—“… then so be it.”

fallback career, notes that he and his wife celebrated Valentine’s Day by binge-viewing that Emmy-winning drama’s second season.

Ask how his wife would describe him in three words and without hesitation he says, “Work. A. Holic.” Paisley averages nearly one album and 70 tour dates annually, garners raves as cohost of the annual Country Music Association Awards, and still makes time for a hobby: drawing and painting. “I like the weird stuff,” he says, citing Salvador Dalí as his favorite artist. He admits that he struggles with work-life balance.

“It is tough and frustrating sometimes. When you’re a creative person, there are just times when you’re not listening. You know, I could be looking right at you and thinking about something else.”

R

ight now, paisley is looking at the grand ole opry

on Nashville’s east side and recalling the 2010 flood that left the main building under four feet of water. A friend points to a redbrick flood wall built to protect the Opry theater. “It better work,” says Paisley, “or that’s a lot of money wasted.” He walks in through the backstage door, stopping to glance at the completely rebuilt stage. Paisley first played the Opry in 1999, and he became a fixture on the weekly Saturday night radio broadcasts. “They always tell you to ‘come back anytime,’ but they never think anyone will take them up on it,” he says, laughing. “I did. About 50 times that first year.”

Paisley still drops by when he can for the Saturday pick-fest, and while he quickly acknowledges Buck Owens and Merle Haggard as his primary influences, he also feels compelled to push country music—and his YOU COULD fans—into more challenging territory. “If I was a new artist, I don’t know that I could have made this album,” he says of Wheelhouse, recognizing the currency he’s accumulated. When Paisley was working on the song “Accidental Racist,” LL Cool J visited him in Nashville and asked to see the Ryman Auditorium, the hallowed hall of country music that the Opry called SIGNED BY home until 1974 (and where it still hosts occasional performances). Told that the Ryman was built in part by Confederate soldiers, LL Cool J was overwhelmed by Enter for a chance to win Brad Paisley’s the wash of history: “What kind of counsignature Stetson, try do we live in,” he asked Paisley, “that autographed by the star, you and I can stand here after all this?” at Parade.com/hat Paisley will return the guest-vocalist favor by contributing to his friend’s forthcoming album, on a track called “Live for You.” “He’s not doing anything crazy,” says LL Cool J. “It’s Brad being Brad. But he loves to challenge himself.”

Paisley knows that as he experiments, “I’m not answering questions with my songs,” he says. “I don’t have the answers. But I am asking the questions, and that’s the fun part. I’m like the kid in class with his hand up, going, ‘Um …’ I think that’s a powerful place to create from.”

TURN BACK TIME WITH THE “ANTI-AGING” BREAKTHROUGH EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT! The truth about human growth hormone (HGH): What is it?

Where does it come from? Can you boost it naturally?

And is it really the fountain of youth?

A

“When you see a 50-year-old actress who can pass for 35, you can bet that good genes aren’t the only things responsible for her youthful glow.”

– Tiffany Strobel*

recent Shape magazine article starts out with a very provocative statement: “When you see a 50-year-old actress who can pass for 35, you can bet that good genes aren’t the only things responsible for her youthful glow.” It’s no secret that the rich and famous of Beverly Hills have been turning to Botox® and plastic surgery for years in an attempt to hang on to their youth. But did you know that many among this “it” crowd have been visiting some of the most expensive clinics in the world for controversial human growth hormone (HGH) therapy?

So what exactly is HGH? HGH is a single chain peptide hormone that’s manufactured deep within the brain... in the pituitary gland. It’s released into the bloodstream and travels throughout the body. It passes into your fat cells and can actually cause them to shrink. It enters your muscle cells, stimulating lean muscle growth so you look more tight and toned, even if you haven’t

and why some believe it’s the key to combatting aging. The problem is that while our bodies do manufacture HGH, our levels begin to decline rapidly as we age, and until recently the best way to increase our HGH levels was through expensive prescription injections (costs can run as high as $1500 per month).

In addition to their high cost, these synthetic HGH injections are also extremely controversial, because some experts fear that introducing synthetic HGH into the body may upset the natural production of HGH.

Dr. Oz says:“A recent study [on SeroVital-hgh] showed patients given a special blend of amino acids saw their HGH levels spike more than 6 times...”

Is there a way to increase growth hormone levels naturally?

an “underground” sensation... until the famed Dr. Oz discussed the product’s research on his show.

Until recently, the answer to that question would have been a resounding “No.” However, in September of 2012, a group of some of the most highly respected scientists in the world presented their research findings at the prestigious Obesity Society’s 30th Annual Scientific Meeting. These research results made headlines, because they showed that for the first time, there was an oral compound capable of increasing mean, bioactive, serum (blood) growth hormone levels... by 682%.

He introduced the show segment by asking his audience, “How many of you want to start feeling 20 years younger right now?” and then discussed what he called “a new frontier: stimulating your body’s production of growth hormones naturally with amino acids.”

The formula that was the subject of these research findings is now being sold by SanMedica International™ under the trade name SeroVital™.

And despite its much-hyped research, SeroVital remained

Before long, SanMedica was having trouble keeping SeroVital – with its proprietary, highly specialized, patent-pending amino acid formula – in stock. It went from underground sensation to full-blown phenomenon.

And when Dr. Oz told his audience, “I have been searching for this from the day we started the show. I’ve been looking for ways of increasing HGH naturally because I don’t like getting the injections,” you can imagine the frenzy he started.

Now, after more than 30 years of time-consuming, detailed research, there’s finally an affordable oral formula that encourages the pituitary gland to increase growth hormone production naturally, without dangerous drugs or synthetic hormone injections.

They believe HGH reduces body fat, increases lean muscle mass, boosts mood, heightens sex drive, gives them plenty of energy and gets rid of wrinkles...

So what’s the catch?

Well, there are three. First, as with HGH injections, SeroVital is not a “magic bullet,” but one part of a healthy lifestyle choice including a sensible diet and exercise regimen.

Second, for proper absorption, you have to take SeroVital-hgh on an empty stomach. That means you either have to take it first thing in the morning and then not eat

anything for two hours, or take it at night, at least two hours after your last meal... before you go to bed.

And last but not least, while SeroVital is far less expensive than prescription HGH injections, it’s still not cheap... SeroVital will cost you about $100 a month.

Is it worth it?

To me, anything that may reduce wrinkles, decrease body fat, increase lean muscle mass, strengthen bones, and boost mood, while giving you plenty of energy and improving sex drive, is a no-brainer. However, make no mistake about it, the “established” medical community (and of course, they know everything) would say its benefits are largely anecdotal, with research that’s preliminary. But there’s no denying that something that has a chance of making you look and feel decades, not years, but DECADES, younger, is... at the very least... irresistible. Frankly, I’m ready to try it. How about you?

AAAA-CHOOO!

Spring is in the air—and so is pollen. If you’re one of the 60 million Americans who suffer from hay fever, we’re here to help.

1. What’s the best way to avoid high pollen counts? (a) Don’t go outside on windy, dry, and sunshiny days (b) Plan outdoor activities for the morning (c) Stay indoors after a rainstorm Answer: (a). Pollen counts are highest on days when it’s dry, sunny, and blustery, and lowest during and just after a big storm. Levels are also generally higher in the morning than in the afternoon.

For a $5

OFF coupon, visit www.zostrix.com

2. Which of the following is most effective at keeping

pollen out of your home? (a) Slipping off your shoes when indoors (b) Keeping your windows closed at all times (c) Having pets stay inside Answer: (b).“Many people think that opening the windows for 30 minutes is equivalent to taking a walk in the park,” says J. Allen Meadows, M.D., of the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology. “But it’s actually more like moving your bed to a field of tall grass and leaving it there permanently.”

3. How can you enjoy the outdoors without bringing on an allergy attack? (a) Wear a widebrimmed hat and sunglasses (b) Change your clothes as soon as you come inside (c) Take a shower before you go to bed (d) All of the above Answer: (d). When you’re out and about, a hat and a pair of shades (preferably oversize and wraparound) will help keep pollen away from your face. Once you’re home, tossing your clothes in the laundry means you’ll scatter less pollen around the house.

And showering before bed washes pollen away so it doesn’t settle on your sheets and pillows.

HOUSE CALL

Q: I have trouble seeing well at night, but I can see just fine during the day.

What causes this?

A: In young adults, what we think of as “night blindness” is typically just mild nearsightedness. You might not have trouble seeing in daylight, but as it grows darker, your pupils get larger, which can exacerbate any vision problems.

In late middle age, however, this could be an early sign of a cataract, a clouding of the eye’s lens. When you’re 2 years old, your lenses are crystal clear, but as you age, they slowly become more opaque. The good news is that cataract surgery is a same-day procedure that can be done without general anesthesia—and your vision will improve afterward to boot. To learn more, check out geteyesmart.org.

the complications: Traffic patterns shift constantly. They change hour by hour throughout the day; they’re different on weekdays than on weekends; and driving behavior is affected by weather.

Even seasonal variations, such as whether school is in session, have an impact. And other conditions (construction, sanitation routines, road repairs, etc.) are constantly in flux.

That said, upgrading our system of traffic lights definitely can be done; the benefits would be huge, and some immediate. Imagine: reducing congestion, saving money on gas, lowering air

Ask Marilyn

By Marilyn vos Savant

I frequently find myself stopping at a red light, starting up at a green light, driving at the speed limit until the next intersection, and then stopping at a red light again—a continuing pattern. With the need for fuel efficiency and the availability of technology, why don’t cities time traffic lights better, at least on major streets? —Donna Blake, Vancouver, Wash.

Improving traffic lights is an expensive project. Consider

pollution, and, best of all, decreasing the rate of accidents at intersections.

Then why isn’t it done more often? In a word, apathy. Voters aren’t exactly energized by traffic lights!
