What are your summer vacation tips?

Try a family camp. The YMCA has great family camps for multigenerational trips. Accommodations can range from bare-bones hotel to cabins, and you can find horseback riding, kayaking—all the things you loved at camp. [Go to parade.com/ymca for sample links.]

Book early, travel early. Look for flights three months to six weeks out; that’s the sweet spot for price. If your plans are last-minute, flights on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Saturday are cheaper and less crowded. And the first flight of the day is always the cheapest.

Get the kids onboard. The website travelforkids.com lists books that will excite them about wherever they’re going—and provide non-electronic fun!

Overplan but don’t overschedule. Though you should always have a Plan B for bad weather, don’t Do you have a question for Walter schedule more than one or two things a day. BeScott? Post it at facebook tween 2 and 4 p.m. is good .com/parademag. downtime for everyone.

Q: Does Al Roker have trouble rising early for his morning TV shows?

—Lisa J., Tulsa, Okla.

A: The veteran weatherman, 59, famously overslept in 2013, missing a live Wake Up With Al show on the Weather Channel.

“A fluke,” he says, since “99 percent of the time I wake up before my alarm.”

Go to parade.com/roker to see Al poke fun at the slip and demonstrate his new part-game, part-forecasting app, “Al’s Weather Rokies” (on iTunes).

Q: What role does Ken Watanabe play in the new Godzilla remake?

Chaka Khan on Soul Train in 1975

Q: I loved Soul Train. Will it ever come back?

—Malaika K., Los Angeles A: From 1971 to 2006, the syndicated show got us boogying to funk, R&B, and disco and launched “the line”—a couples’ promenade of cool dance moves. Nelson George, author of a new book about the program, The Hippest Trip in America, says plans for a Broadway show and a Nick Cannon–hosted TV revival are afoot—but perhaps without men in “terminally ’70s” platform shoes.

• weight loss update

By Marilyn vos Savant

When i was watching a science show, i noticed that the narrator mentioned only red, orange, yellow, white, and blue stars. Why no green or violet stars?

—Tim Merrill, Alexandria, Va.

Green and purple stars do exist. The color of stars depends on their temperatures, and they emit radiation throughout the visible spectrum.

But when a star emits peak radiation at a wavelength we define as green, it also emits radiation over the rest of the spectrum.

Green is in the middle. So, as mixing all colors of light produces white light, a person looking at this star will see white, not green.

And when a star emits peak radiation at a violet wavelength, it also emits a lot of blue. As the human eye is more sensitive to blue light than purple, this star will look blue to us.

A Pill That Can Reshape Your Entire Body In 30 Days?

As incredible as it sounds,

groundbreaking research has just identified a compound that can not only help you lose weight, but can actually reshape your entire body, reducing waist size, hip size, thigh and buttock circumference, belly bulge, and... last but not least... cause a significant loss of actual fat mass from all over your body. Has the “miracle pill” finally arrived?

It

doesn’t happen very often, but every once in a great while a new weight-loss product comes along that really gets me excited. And, the fact that I get to tell you about it before Dr. Oz features it on his super-popular TV show is “icing

on the cake!” The product is called Vysera-CLS, and, unlike your run-of-the-mill “diet pill” that merely helps you lose weight (while following a strict low-calorie diet), Vysera can actually reshape your entire body... dropping inch upon inch of unsightly fat from your waist, hips, thighs and tummy... even if you’re eating more than 2,000 calories a day! Some people are calling it a “miracle pill.” However, this “miracle pill” is backed by serious clinical research published in the highly respected British Journal of Nutrition.

The Power to Reshape Your Entire Body While you and I only care about results (and the results are incredible), the scientists I’ve spoken to are even more excited about how this compound works.

So here we go. In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial, study subjects took the compound along with their main meal of the day. Thirty minutes later, they had a significantly lower percentage of blood glucose increment from baseline, a smaller increase in C-peptide and, forty-five to one hundred twenty minutes after they ate, subjects also experienced a smaller insulin increase compared

the day with a smile on your face (another added benefit). This unique formula has been exclusively licensed to Bremenn Clinical under the trade name Vysera™-CLS. And trust me on this... once you start taking it and see how quickly it transforms your entire body, you’ll be a believer, too.

So What’s The Catch?

significant reduction in body weight, fat mass, BMI, adipose tissue thickness, and waist/hip/thigh circumference while maintaining lean body mass.

So Here It Is In Plain English: People who took this incredible compound not only lost weight, but lost a significant amount of squishy, flabby, unattractive body fat from those hard-to-target places we all hate: our hips, thighs and butt. It also caused a significant reduction in the amount of fat around the waist (yes, that means you can start saying goodbye to your love handles), helping study subjects achieve that tight, sexy, firm figure we all dream of. And the best part? The compound did all this on 2,000 to 2,200 calories a day! In other words, without requiring anybody to follow a low-calorie diet or work out for hours every day! Think of it this way... it’s sort of like eating a whole donut, but only absorbing a fraction of the calories. How’s that for amazing? (Of course, we don’t advocate eating a donut as a meal, and this example is used for illustrative purposes only.)

It seems there’s always a catch with “diet” pills... so what’s the catch with Vysera? The price. A full 30-day supply of Vysera will cost you about $100... in other words, don’t go looking for it at your local Walmart. Vysera-CLS is currently available at all Ulta stores, Kohl’s, and GNC. Over the next few months, it will be available on a limited basis at prestige retailers across the U.S. Having a hard time finding Vysera-CLS? Can’t wait? You can order it directly from Vysera by calling 1-800-299-9188 or visit their website at VyseraCLS.com.

Guy Fieri, self-proclaimed mayor of Flavortown, takes you inside his off-thehook world

By David Hochman

Cover d an opening photos y b Spencer Heyfron

Plenty of people have backyard grills. Guy Fieri presides over a char-broiler’s ShangriLa. Behind his rustic family compound in Santa Rosa, Calif., the halogen-haired host of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives and other popular Food Network shows has a gasfired griddle, a Santa Maria–style barbecue (which can be raised or lowered over the heat), a commercial-grade brick pizza oven and— aloha, gorgeous!—a Hawaiian huli-huli rotisserie that can slow-roast 36 chickens at once. Even Fieri’s bird coop is mega: His 13 free-range, organic egg layers (none of which are destined for the dinner table) share a designer abode bigger than many apartments. “People go, ‘Who has stuff like this?’ ” Fieri, 46, says with

that giant laugh. His wife of nearly 20 years, Lori, walks by with a good-natured eye roll. “But I’m like, life goes by in a click. You gotta enjoy it in a massive way.”

No question, Fieri (pronounced the Italian way, by rolling the r—or just say “fee-eddy”) lives large; but he’s also as down-to-earth as they come, and that’s a huge part of why his shows, cookbooks, and restaurants are successful. “I think what translates to most people is just, ‘I could live next door to that dude,’ ” he says. Ever since he exploded onto the scene in 2006 as the winner of The Next Food Network Star, Fieri’s rock ’n’ roll style and focus on unpretentious American comfort foods have made him a hero to anyone who’s ever gone “Wha?” at the mention of foie gras. “Guy’s the bad boy in class you hang around with anyway

cooking with enough fire or cooking over coals that haven’t established themselves. But using lighter fluid, I think, is the biggest mistake people make. It’s nasty and you don’t want it in your food. Get some real charcoal, something that’s got wood in it, and none of that selflighting stuff. Then use a charcoal chimney starter. It’s the greatest thing ever. You load your paper in the bottom, put your favorite type of charcoal on the top, and light.

What should people be cooking that they’re not?

People are very phobic about fish.

And if they do cook fish, they fry it, which kills all the flavor. Tuna is probably the most readily accessible, easy to work with, and best tasting. So try searing some ahi.

Grilled fish tacos are also great. Just substitute some firm white fish for ground beef or turkey. Sauté it in the pan or cook it on a hot grill, add a little lime juice, cumin, oregano, a bit of garlic, salt and pepper. Serve it in a tortilla with sour cream, avocado, and pico de gallo. If you’re feeling adventurous, grill up some marinated octopus. It’s so healthy.

Clockwise from top: In 1983, an enterprising Fieri sold pretzels from a homemade cart; with his wife, Lori, and sons Ryder (left) and Hunter; the chef showed off some of his rides in 2013.

“insane ­sriracha-infused whatever I’m whipping up,” he says. Having traveled more than 50,000 miles in the name of roadside burgers and brisket, Fieri treasures family time—and especially so since he lost his younger sister, Morgan, to skin cancer in 2011. “It was a big reminder that life is fragile and not to be taken for granted,” he says.

You cook on your TV shows, on the road, at your restaurants. Who runs the kitchen at home?

After a show, people say, “I bet you want to just sit back and relax.” No way. First thing I want to do when I’m home is cook. We usually have a lot of friends and family over, and I’m teaching my boys to cook.

Do you remember the first meal you made that wowed people?

because he’s hilarious,” says chef Rachael Ray, who has teamed up with Fieri on a couple of shows.

“Plus, he can really cook.”

As mayor of what Fieri dubs Flavortown, a culinary world dripping with “off-the-hook” dishes like Dragon’s Breath Chili and, yes, double-fried French fries, he refuses to let food snobs put the squeeze on his signature Donkey Sauce handiwork. Critics certainly try. A 2012 New York Times review of Guy’s American Kitchen & Bar in Times Square was the most scathing takedown ever penned about pretzelcrusted chicken tenders. “Okay, but for every snooty critic, there’s a dad, grandma, kid, biker, dentist, or ­garbageman who’ll tell you Guy’s the man,” says chef Robert Irvine, host of Food Network’s Restaurant: Impossible, who tapped Fieri to be best man at his 2012 wedding.

At home with Fieri, it’s plain to see he’s committed to both family and fun. Born in Columbus, Ohio, he was raised largely in groovy (and tiny) Ferndale, Calif., by his hippie parents, who live next door to him today. His fleet of mustard-yellow vehicles includes a Chevy Kodiak truck so massive you need a ladder to enter (“my cowboy Cadillac,” Fieri calls it). And everywhere there are toys: bikes, balls, trampolines, Super Soakers. “It’s like having three kids around here,” Fieri says, meaning sons Hunter, 17, and ­Ryder, 8, and himself. Inside, Guy and Lori have his and hers fridges to separate family meals from the

What was the first time you got paid to cook?

I always had a business. In second grade I had a Kool-Aid booth, and in fourth grade [I discovered] these awesome soft, steamed pretzels, and my dad and I built a cart [to sell them].

Now my foundation, Cooking With Kids, gives pretzel carts to children’s organizations to get them working with the public, learning safety, sanitation, salesmanship, all that stuff. Because the common denominator of all

We ate a lot of macrobiotic cuisine, and I hated it. My mom said, “You know what, Guy? If you don’t like the way we cook, you can cook.” So I did. I went into the grocery store after school, told the butcher I wanted some red meat, and cooked it before my parents got home. At dinner, my dad takes a bite and sets his fork down. I thought, “Oh, God, I’m going to get it now.” My dad looks at me and says, “This might be the best steak I’ve ever had.” Also, I didn’t have to do the dishes, which was the rule for whoever cooked. That’s when the bell went off—ding, ding, ding!

It tracks your distance and donates 25 cents for every mile you walk or run, or 10 cents for each mile you bike.

Nexercise (nexercise .com) Stick your phone in your pocket or armband as you exercise and the app will track your activity using motion sensors. The longer you work out, the more you earn toward gift cards from stores like Home Depot, CVS, and Sephora.

Pollen-Proof Your Workouts

pollen, leading to redness, itching, and irritation. To help block out allergens, wear wrap-around sunglasses or sports goggles during your workout.

Stay covered. Pollen and other environmental allergens can easily collect

in your hair, too, especially if you wear gel, mousse, or hair spray.

Wear a sun hat or baseball cap (they’ll help ward off sunburns, too).

Hit the shower. Before you go inside, slip out of your workout clothes and

park your sneakers at the door, so you don’t track allergens into the house.

You should also shower and wash your hair immediately after exercising to decrease your pollen load, suggests Foggs.

here’s bad news for allergy sufferers this year: The so-called polar vortex has given way to a pollen vortex. “A long, harsh winter can lead to a tidal wave of pent-up pollen being released all at once,” says Michael Foggs, M.D., president of the American College of Allerg y, Asthma and Immunology. Still, that doesn’t mean you have to spend the whole season on the treadmill instead of the track. Follow these strategies to make your outdoor time sniffle-free: Watch the weather.

Counts tend to be highest from 5 a.m. to 10 a.m., but “some studies suggest pollen counts in certain parts of the country are higher in the afternoon,” Foggs says. And beware of dry, windy days. Wind vectors can carry pollen up to 400 miles. “Even if you’re nowhere near the plants that trigger your allergies, their pollens will find you,” he says. The ideal time to head outdoors: after a rainfall, which can wash pollen out of the air.

Sunday With...

S

Do you ever watch reruns of yourself as Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation?

If I’m flicking channels See his and there we are on candid New the Enterprise, I try York photos taken with to identify what we’re Ian McKellen doing and nearly at parade.com always fail, because /stewart. there were 178 episodes.

If something catches my ­attention, it’s because I want to see my friends, my colleagues, and enjoy what they’re doing. It’s like saying hello to them.

You and Ian McKellen have costarred onstage and in the X-Men movies. What makes the two of you click?

We’re about the same age and we had quite similar childhoods, the main difference being that Ian was clever and I wasn’t! He was a scholarship boy and went to Cambridge, whereas I left school at 15. We both have a great passion for Shakespeare—we met thanks to the Royal Shakespeare Company—but we became friends on X-Men. And although we are very dedicated actors, we don’t take our work too seriously.

We also like to have fun.

You’re active in working against domestic violence because, you’ve said, of the abuse your father inflicted on your mother.

What’s your perfect Sunday?

It depends where I am. We just lived through one of the worst winters ever in New York, and very often here in Brooklyn I lit a fire on Sunday morning and sat there with the newspapers.

Brunch is also a routine I enjoy a great deal. I have a house outside London, in the Cotswolds, and if the weather there is nice, I spend most of Sunday outdoors.

I made a recording on my phone last year of bird song in my garden, and now and again I listen to it because it so vividly reminds me of the English countryside.

Patrick Stewart

The sci-fi icon on his bromance with Ian ­McKellen, helping distressed vets, and catching old Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes

I was silent about the less pleasant features of my childhood for decades, until I felt I could no longer stay quiet. I joined Refuge [a U.K. charity] and began to campaign with them, and that has been a very important part of my life. Then only about two years ago I discovered several things about my father, namely that he had been severely shellshocked—what we now call

PTSD—during WWII. I came to understand that my father was badly in need of treatment and support, which he never got. I don’t think my mother knew it; I didn’t know it. So I am now also a campaigner for an organization called C ­ ombat Stress. It’s been very healing for me to bring awareness to both causes; it gives a real meaning to the good fortune I’ve had in my career.

What do you like about life in Brooklyn?

I’m very lucky to live here. I was brought up in a small town in the north of England, and London always felt like an alien place. I like being away from the heart of a big city, and in Brooklyn, that’s exactly what you are. I’m part of a community and that’s been important to me all my life.

ir Patrick Stewart isn’t your typical newlywed.

After marrying jazz singer Sunny Ozell, 36, last ­September, he began an intense seven months on Broadway, simultaneously starring in Waiting for Godot and No Man’s Land with his friend Sir Ian McKellen (who officiated at his wedding). “My wife has been what we call a ‘theater widow,’ ” Stewart, 73, tells Erin Hill. “Now we’re looking at a summer and autumn with a more normal domestic existence.” But not before he premieres his film X-Men: Days of Future Past (in theaters May 23), in which he reprises his role as Professor Xavier.
