Q Is this the final season for Nurse Jackie?

—Jessie J., Omaha, Neb.

A: Edie Falco, who already put Carmela Soprano to rest on The Sopranos, will be doing the same for Jackie Peyton when Nurse Jackie begins its final season on Showtime tonight. On playing the nurse with the pill addiction, Falco, 51, says, “I have known and loved many addicts in my life; it has been very interesting to be on the other side of it. It’s given me a lot more compassion for the people who used to just make me angry.”

WALTER SCOTT ASKS...

REVRUN

A founding member of seminal hip-hop act RunD.M.C., Rev Run (Joseph Simmons) is also a minister who spreads the good news—and good food—on Rev Run’s Sunday Suppers, airing Sunday nights on Cooking Channel.

What led you to make Sunday dinner such an important part of your week? “[Our kids are] out of the house. I felt a little lonely. I thought, ‘If I can just get them one day a week…’ So I said, ‘Everybody come over for Sunday dinner.’” Why televise it? “That’s my job. I’m here to inspire. First as Run-D.M.C. and now as somebody who inspires families to be together and have a good time—to slow down and see what’s important. I enjoy being a husband and a dad, and I enjoy letting people watch.” Do you do much of the cooking? “Cooking brings me close to Justine, my wife. I will take on a project and, if I get stuck, I can call her in for help.” What’s your favorite meal? “Pizza is my favorite meal, but I can’t have it often. I’m watching my calories, so I love to get into the kitchen and pull together things that are tasty but not full of extra sodium and calories.” What role does music play in your life now? “RunD.M.C. has done several concerts recently. Additionally, I do a lot of DJ’ing. I am a resident DJ at Borgata in Atlantic City. I enjoy being on the turntables with my partner in crime, DJ Ruckus.”

Q: What is former TV weatherman Willard Scott up to? —Damien Dalton, San Antonio, Texas A. He’s out of the weather business, but the longtime NBC Today personality— who last year married his sweetheart, Paris Keena, after the 2002 death of his wife, Mary—continues to make appearances on the

Host with the Most Luke Bryan returns for the third straight year as co-host (with Blake Shelton) of the Academy of Country Music Awards on CBS, which begins the ramp-up to its blowout 50th annual awards show on April 19 with a two-day music festival in Dallas April 17-18. Think you know everything about the “Crash My Party” singer, who’s won four ACM Awards and is nominated for four more this year? Here are five little-known facts straight from Bryan himself. 1. “I got hit by

a car while crossing the street in second grade.”

One of Scott’s early gigs: TV commercials as Ronald McDonald

show to wish happy birthday to 100-year-old viewers. Scott, 81, has a long history in front of the cameras. One of his TV gigs in the 1960s was dressing up as an early prototype of Ronald McDonald, the “hamburger clown” pitchman for McDonald’s, which turns 60 this year. (Go to Parade. com/McDonalds for more McDonald’s 60th birthday trivia.)

2. “When I first moved to Nashville, I waited tables. That lasted three days.” 3. “Guilty pleasure: movie popcorn.” 4. “If I wake up in the middle of the night, I eat a bowl of cereal.” 5. “I have had stitches three times—all on my face.” COVER CREDITS: MAYWEATHER BY JEFF BOTARI/GETTY IMAGES; CAT IN HAT BY WENN/NEWSCOM; LEE BY REUTERS/ LARRY DOWNING/LANDOV; WALKER BY CBS/HEATHER WINES/LANDOV; STONIE BY BRIAN CAHN/ZUMA; WARREN BY REUTERS/GRETCHEN ERTL/LANDOV; HAMM BY FRANK OCKENFELS/AMC; KEITH COURTESY SHOCK INK

emember records? Of course you do. Happily, vinyl is still spinning its way into the hands of music lovers—whether they’re 16 or 60—today. April 18 is Record Store Day—a global celebration of independent record stores, where vinyl is still king—and the Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl, 46, is this year’s official ambassador. (Head to recordstoreday.com to find a participating shop near you.) “Growing up in the ’70s and ’80s, my local record stores were magical, mysterious places that I spent all of my spare time (and money) in, finding what was to eventually become the soundtrack of my life,” Grohl says. Here are some spintastic ideas on how to crank up the volume on Record Store Day.

“The Night We Called It a Day”

Ask Marilyn By Marilyn vos Savant

Does left-handedness (or footedness, etc.) exist in other animals? —Dick A., San Francisco, Calif.

Nope, and neither does right-handedness, for that matter. No strong parallel to inborn human “handedness” exists in other animals. A few weak parallels may be found, such as parrots that often use their left foot to grab a piece of food or toads that use a right foot to wipe off their faces. Each individual animal, such as your dog or cat, may develop a preference for one paw over another for a particular task, but neither chosen side strongly dominates the way the one inborn side does in humans. The developed preferences are divided roughly evenly between the right and left sides.

The day before serving, make the dressing: Place 2 2/3 oz freeze-dried strawberries (found at Walmart or GNC), 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar, ¼ cup Dijon mustard, 1/3 cup white grape juice and ¼ tsp fine sea salt in a container, mix well, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. The next day, puree in a blender until smooth, about 1 minute. Strain through a finemesh sieve. Top butter lettuce with quartered and hulled strawberries, olive oil and the dressing.

Love Why We

UNDERDOGS The star of Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 knows all about characters who thrive when the odds are against them. He’s been there. By Kevin James

BLART BY SONY PICTURES/NEWSCOM; JAMES BY KEITH BEATY/TORONTO STAR/GETTY IMAGES

’ve always loved the underdog. I think most people do. In my case, it’s because I was one. When I was born, I weighed less than eight pounds! I couldn’t walk. I couldn’t talk. I couldn’t chew solid foods and I’d go to the bathroom right in my pants. I cried a lot, too. But I overcame the odds and conquered all those things. When I was a kid, my favorite movie was Rocky. I can still remember throwing punches in my seat, trying to will Rocky into beating the invincible Apollo Creed. Ever since then, I’ve always rooted for the underdog, both in movies and in life. There’s something truly American about being born with nothing and making it on your own, with only your brains, your talent or whatever it is that makes you special. And when you come up against bigger, stronger, faster people, to not give up because beating them at their own game, when all logic says you have no chance, is the

sweetest victory of all. We love underdogs because we’ve all been there in one way or another—when every bit of reason and sense would tell you that you have absolutely no shot, but you toss reason aside and jump in anyway. And that’s what motivates Paul Blart, mall cop, to put on his uniform every day—the hope that he can defy the odds. Sure, it’s easy to poke fun at a guy like Blart. He cares about his job and keeping shoppers safe, maybe too much. But who would ever think that this outof-shape guy, on the bottom rung of the security-business ladder, would end up being the thin blue line between safety and chaos? That’s the kind of guy I wanna see come through in the clutch. When nobody thinks Paul Blart can save the day, he’s just getting warmed up. He’s gonna be the hero. He’s like Batman— no, wait, he’s better than

Kevin James plays security guard Paul Blart in the new movie sequel to Paul Blart: Mall Cop.

Batman. You heard me. No offense, but anybody can be a hero with 180 pounds of sculpted muscle and all of the gadgets a billion bucks can buy. All Blart has to work with is some non-lethal pepper spray and a wicked pair of love handles. When I was growing up, my dad sold insurance and my mom took care of me and my brother and sister. I wasn’t the greatest student. I dropped out

of college and got a job driving a forklift, which I thought I was pretty good at; but I got fired, so apparently not. After that, believe it or not, I worked as a personal trainer at a gym. I’m not saying I was any good; I would lose count of the reps my client was doing, and then I’d be like, “Uh, that’s good enough—let’s go grab a chocolate energy bar.” When I started doing standup, I knew it wasn’t going to be easy. I didn’t have industry connections. I was on Long Island—not in New York City—so even if I did great with an audience, who knew if anybody would see it? One time, an agent asked me what my goal was, and I said to have my own sitcom. He laughed and said that would never happen: “You just don’t have the look. The sooner you embrace that, the better.” Well, I’m glad I didn’t embrace that, or The King of Queens would’ve never happened. And I would never have been in movies. So here’s to all the underdogs, the Paul Blarts, the Mets, the Jets, the Knicks… all of you. Keep fighting. Ignore those who tell you that you can’t do something. Find that inner strength—or just relax and go have a chocolate energy bar. Because anything is possible. I know that firsthand.

Starring as deliveryman Doug Heffernan on the hit CBS sitcom The King of Queens and in a number of supporting and starring movie roles, standup comedian-turned-actor KEVIN JAMES has a natural feel for chumps who turn into champs. On April 17, he’ll be back on the big screen as the Segway-riding security guard spurred to heights of heroism in the new comedy Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2. APRIL 12, 2015 | 7

WHAT PEOPLE

KIM GIECK, 55

$44,200

Think you can guess your next-door neighbor’s annual income? Even if you’re close, chances are you’ll never really know. The truth is, according to a Parade survey, most Americans would rather divulge their age or even their weight rather than share what they earn. That’s why our annual peek into dozens of paychecks— from the competitve eater to the toll collector, the reality TV star to the governor—is a tradition that is equal parts informative and fun. This year we also look at pay rates for some of the newest jobs out there (Uber driver, marijuana packager and drone technician, to name a few) and some of the oldest (visit Parade.com/Earn for a story on trades, including plumbers and electricians). Both job categories are expected to grow in 2015.

EARN

Gieck says simply listening to students is most important. “Sometimes they just need to know they’re being heard.”

Americans are adding some interesting new job titles to their resumes. Consider budtender, as workers at marijuana dispensaries are often called. With pot now legal for medical or recreational use in 23 states plus the District of Columbia, budtending could be a career with pot-ential. Budtenders make about $20 to $30 an hour, according to a spokesman for the National Cannabis Industry Association. Some other examples: UBER DRIVER The on-demand ride service, whose drivers supply their own cars, is giving taxi companies a run for their money in cities around the world. A study released in 2015, and based on Uber’s own data, put driver pay range at about $16 to $30 an hour, not accounting for expenses like car payments, insurance and gasoline. DRONE TECHNICIAN Drones do many jobs today, from filming Hollywood movies to checking the soybean crops in Iowa. Keeping them flying is the job of drone technicians, whose salaries range from about $60,000 to $68,000 a year, according to the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International. CYBERSECURITY ANALYST With hacker attacks in the news almost daily, big retailers and other companies are looking for better ways to protect their sensitive data. Enter the cybersecurity specialist, whose job is to find and fix any weak spots in their computer networks. Salary range is about $82,000 to $121,000 a year, according to Foote Partners. HEALTHCARE NAVIGATOR In “the most important healthcare job you’ve never heard of,” as one report puts it, navigators guide consumers through the maze of insurance coverage and medical treatment. But navigators also are employed by large nonprofits, hospitals and even individual patients. They can earn $34,000 to $48,000 a year. —Greg Daugherty

SPECIAL REPORT

The

Youth

Hormone... Everyone’s talking about it. But can it really reduce body fat, increase lean muscle mass, boost mood, heighten sex drive, give you plenty of energy, get rid of wrinkles and tighten saggy skin?

Barbara just had another birthday.

She watches her diet, exercises when she

can, and is in pretty good shape. In fact, she could be the poster child for the “Fountain of Youth” headline we see on the covers of fashion mags around the globe. What’s her secret? It’s not just the occasional Botox, peel or ﬁller, or even her assortment of skin creams that could rival the anti-aging section of your local Sephora. Barbara, who was always “cutting edge,” has become a believer in what is fast becoming the most popular (if not the most expensive) anti-aging treatment in the USA… Growth Hormone Therapy. t seems everyone is talking about human growth hormone lately. No less than the famed Dr. Oz began a recent show by asking his audience, “How many of you want to start feeling 20 years younger right now?” Allure magazine, in its “Anti-aging Special” issue, highlighted growth hormone as its year-end call-out. Shape magazine began a recent growth hormone article with the provocative lead in: “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.” Fox News, The Today Show, CNN, ABC, and CBS have all contributed to the current frenzy.

VANITY FAIR says:

“A 20-year-old

DR. OZ says: “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.” Why all the fuss? Simple. hGH disciples… and to many like Barbara, hGH therapy is truly a religious experience... believe hGH can help reduce body fat, increase lean muscle mass, boost mood, heighten sex drive, give them plenty of energy, get rid of wrinkles and tighten saggy skin… making them look and feel decades – not years, but decades – younger. Celebrities, CEOs, Wall Street execs, models, housewives, athletes and even some high-ranking politicians all seem to be drinking from the same pitcher of Kool-Aid. There’s no doubt about it; in our current fast-paced, “youth-oriented” culture, hGH therapy is hot.

The controversy The controversy isn’t over whether or not hGH plays an essential role in our health and aging (virtually everyone already agrees on that). Instead, the controversy lies in the best way to maintain our body’s supply of human growth hormone. Until recently, most felt the best way was through expensive prescription injections (although costs can run as high as $1500 per month). However, some experts argue against the use of these synthetic injections, because they fear introducing synthetic hGH into the body may upset natural hGH production.

and then again at The 9th World Congress of Cosmetic Dermatology held in Athens, Greece, it created a serious stir.

The revolution The formula that was the subject of these research ﬁndings is now being sold by SanMedica International™ under the trade name SeroVital.® And when Dr. Oz disclosed that “a recent study [on SeroVital-hgh] showed patients given a special blend of amino acids saw their hGH levels spike more than 6 times...” and added, “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 created. Before long, SanMedica

Patents to protect the SeroVital formula from imitators.‡ Thanks to the release of SeroVital, the hGH revolution has ﬁnally arrived. Now that there’s an easy-to-swallow capsule that can raise growth hormone naturally, an awful lot of people have stopped asking if they should be increasing their hGH levels and started asking which hGH-boosting option is right for them.

Is it worth it? To me, anything that may reduce wrinkles, tighten saggy skin, 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, and based on research

SHAPE says: “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.” was having trouble keeping SeroVital in stock. It went from underground sensation to full-blown phenomenon. Even the United States Patent Ofﬁce has added to the SeroVital mystique by issuing not one but ten U.S.

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?

So what’s the catch? Dr. Amy Heaton, PhD, Director of Scientiﬁc Affairs for SanMedica International, says: “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.”

Where can I get it? Having a hard time ﬁnding SeroVital-hgh? It’s currently available at all Ulta stores, Kohl’s, and select GNC locations. Over the next few months it will be available on a limited basis at prestige retailers Featured across the U.S.

Product!

The breakthrough Because of growth hormone’s potential, researchers have spent the last thirty years searching for a reliable, clinically proven way to promote pituitary health, thereby increasing human growth hormone levels naturally. So it’s no surprise that when an oral compound capable of increasing mean, endogenous, bioactive, serum (blood) growth hormone levels... by 682%... was presented at the prestigious Obesity Society’s most recent Scientiﬁc Meeting in Atlanta, Georgia, The Academy of Women’s Health’s 21st Annual Congress in Washington, D.C.,

RETAILERS say: “Frankly, we haven’t seen this much customer excitement in years.”
