Snooki's in the kitchen with meatballs...
Jersey Shore's Snooki is all grown up -- and looking more like a hottie than the self-proclaimed meatball she's known as on the MTV reality show that made her famous.

The pint-sized celebrity was at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood recently to provide support to AdELA, a new artist in Snooki's musical stable, who performed at Passion Nightclub.

That's right, folks. Nicole Polizzi is now a music mogul with her own label -- Team Snooki Music.

Prancercise: Eat like a horse and lose weight.
By now, you've probably heard all about Prancercise, the workout created right here in south Florida by 61-year old Joanna Rohrback that allows you to prance and trot your way to fitness.

We've got to admit, we've never seen a fat horse so Rohrback might be on to something. Rohrback, who lives in Coral Springs, is in pretty good shape herself, as evidenced in the video which features her wearing a salmon-colored Chanel jacket and white pants.

But, while the workout has gotten most of the publicity, Rohrback also stresses diet in her Prancercise lifestyle, which basically means the old saying, "she eats like a horse" is a good thing, indeed.

We spoke with the fitness maven, who told us that the path to perfection is threefold. "It's about diet, spirituality, and physicality."

Mo'Nique enjoying herself at Cafe Martorano.
Academy Award winner Mo'Nique is quite the energizer bunny. After finishing two back-to-back shows at the Fort Lauderdale Improv last weekend, most people would just want to curl up in their hotel room and send for a burger. But the star of Precious, The Parkers, and The Mo'Nique Show has her sights on a good Italian meal at Martorano's Italian-American Kitchen at Seminole Paradise at the Hard Rock.

But, when the multi-talented actress and comedian learned that owner Steve Martorano was at his flagship location Cafe Martorano, Mo'Nique decided to make the trek to Fort Lauderdale just to see the restaurateur and check out the restaurant.

Michelle Bernstein returns to the airwaves.

Check Please, the South Florida restaurant review show hosted by Michelle Bernstein, is set to return to WPBT2 on Monday, May 20, at 7:30 p.m. The new season will feature a host of South Florida restaurants, most of them in Broward County.

Joining Bernstein in the premiere episode are Paul Castronovo, actress-drag queen Miss Finesse, and Don Bailey (of Don Bailey Carpets).

Though he's a morning drive radio host first and foremost, Paul Castronovo is a foodie and vineyard owner, so the episode should be quite interesting.

For a list of season ten's episodes and the restaurants highlighted, visit checkpleasefl.com.

Tyler Florence films an episode of Great Food Truck Race in Boston.
Attention south Florida food truckers -- or wannabes. If you dreamed of taking a truck coast to coast in a non-stop frenzy of challenges -- all for the chance to win $50,000, then you'll want to try out for season four of Food Network's The Great Food Truck Race, hosted by Tyler Florence.

Though the rules of the show have changed each season, the basic premise is that a team of one driver/chef and two staffers drive a food truck coast to coast, stopping at various cities along the way to sell their wares. The team with the most sales is declared the winner. There are, of course, roadblocks and detours encountered along the way. The last team standing is the winner.
