PARADE

Q:Gerard Butler was great in The Phantom of the Opera. Does he still sing? Will he ever do another musical? —Joann Rauk, Forest City, Iowa

A: “I sang with John Mayer on my birthday,” says the star, who celebrated turning 41 at a party in New York last November. As for another musical: “I wouldn’t rule it out. You never know when something will speak to you.”

game show, and as much as I like our players, I’m not going to prison so someone can win a trip to the Bahamas.”

Q: Have the producers of Survivor considered stranding castaways in a cold-weather location? —Sarah Dwyer,

Dartmouth, Mass.

A: The show’s host, Jeff Probst, 48, says the idea has been discussed but it wouldn’t make for exciting television. Besides obvious winter obstacles like gear breaking down, the contestants “would huddle together rather than explore—and wear parkas instead of bikinis!”

PPat Sajak

Q: When Pat Sajak takes the � nal spin

on Wheel of Fortune, it never

seems to land on Bankrupt or Lose a Turn. Does he use a brake to direct the wheel? —A. Gunderson,

St. Peter, Minn.

A: Sajak does land on the two slots, but the show edits those turns out. “We have no braking system,” says the host, 64. “It’s a crime to rig a TV

Q: What happens to the uneaten food from cooking shows? —Theresa Jackson, Chicago

A: Some is eaten by staff or used in photo shoots, says Derek Flynn, vice president of the Food Network’s Culinary Production. But as much as possible is donated. In a recent episode of The Next Iron Chef, an army Humvee was fi lled with 4,800 pounds of potatoes—98% of which were given to local soup kitchens after the show .

‘I was never a cheerleader. I was on

school days. She stars in I Am Number

Four, in theaters now.

A: Sweeney, 34, says watching the weigh-ins helps keep her on track with her own fi tness routine. “It’s motivating,” she tells us. “I’m constantly inspired by the contestants on the scale and amazed by their successes and achievements.”

WALTER SCOTT ASKS…

The actress, 32, hosts Shedding for the Wedding (CW, Feb. 23) and is planning her own nuptials with � ancé Kevin Price.

Sara Rue

How would you describe the show?

It’s about couples losing weight for their weddings but also

planning the event along the way. They compete for the dress

and tuxedo in the fi rst episode. It’s two shows in one!

What made you sign on as the host?

The show gives people their fantasy

wedding and allows them to look and

feel the way they want to on their big

day. I thought it sounded so magical.

How is your own wedding

planning going?

We have a location, so that’s

progress. Our main goal is for

everybody to have fun.

You recently lost

50 pounds. Are you happy

with your weight?

Some people think I could lose

another 10 pounds, and some

people think I’m too thin. It’s

wherever you’re comfort-

able—and I’m feeling pretty

comfy these days.

Eyes on the Prizesith the oscars only a week away (Feb. 27 on ABC), here’s a cheat sheet on which high-profi le fi lms are likely to nab the top awards. THE KING’S SPEECH This drama, a true story about triumphing over adver-sity, earned 12 nods and is poised to reign as Best Picture. Tom Hooper should

win Director, and Colin Firth, as stammer-affl icted George VI, is sure to be crowned Best Actor. THE SOCIAL NETWORK The “Facebook movie” was lauded by critics’ groups, but we suspect the Academy will un-friend it in the Best Picture category. It should clinch Adapted Screenplay for Aaron Sorkin. BLACK SWAN Natalie Portman is favored to win Best Actress for playing a paranoid ballerina. Her main competition: oft-nominated vet Annette Bening, for The Kids Are All Right. THE FIGHTER Christian Bale, as boxer Micky Ward’s crack- addicted half-brother, can’t miss for Best Supporting Actor. Supporting Actress Melissa Leo, playing Micky’s mouthy mom, will also score a knockout. TRUE GRIT Unless young Hailee Steinfeld manages an upset for Supporting Actress, forget about major awards. Writer- directors Joel and Ethan Coen probably won’t care—at press time, Grit looked to be on track to overtake Dances with Wolves as the highest-grossing Western ever. —Steve Daly

this novel will not end happily

—it’s based on Ernest

Hemingway’s relationship with

Hadley Richardson, the fi rst of

his four wives. But before they

split, they have a grand time

in 1920s Paris. McLain’s vivid

account of the couple’s love

affair and expat adventures—

including absinthe-fueled

nights with the likes of F. Scott

Fitzgerald—will leave you

feeling sad yet dazzled.

With its extraordinary

cinematography and

sonorous narration (by Jeremy

Irons), this fi lm aims to put

you right into the hearts and

minds of Botswana wildlife.

It plays more like action-

adventure than documentary,

but the perils faced by the

family of lions featured (there

may be as few as 20,000

left in the wild) are very real.

7-MINUTE SOLUTION

HOW TO GET YOUNGER-

LOOKING SKIN

Dr. Fredric Brandt,

dermatologist of choice for celebs

like Madonna, on everything

you need to get glowing

MORNING: Two Minutes

1. Wash up. If you have oily skin, use a cleanser with salicylic acid to clean out your pores. If your skin is dry, a creamy cleanser will put moisture back in. Avoid rinsing with very hot water—it will dry you out even more. And skip the washcloth. Unless you use a fresh one every day, it breeds bacteria.2. Apply an antioxidant cream

or gel. Look for ingredients like soy, green tea, or vitamin C. All are readily available in a number of brands. If you have dark under-eye circles, use an eye cream with caffeine to constrict blood vessels and a peptide to thicken the skin.3. Use a sunblock with SPF 30 every day, rain or shine. You need at least a teaspoon for your face. Note to men: You can skip Step 2—but don’t skip sunscreen.

NIGHT: Three Minutes

1. Use a gentle makeup remover and then follow with your a.m. cleansing routine. 2. Try a peptide cream or retinol lotion. Both will build collagen, which diminishes wrinkles and sagging. Be patient. It can take two to three months to see results. 3. Moisturize. If your skin is moderately dry, choose a lotion with glycerin. Really dry? Opt for one with shea butter.

BONUS: Two Minutes

Once a week, use a micro-dermabrasion cream to exfoliate your skin. This will stimulate collagen, lessen brown spots, and clear your pores.

ECOZIP BAGS

HOW THEY WORK

With zippers on both sides and a barrier in the middle, one container fi ts an entire lunch.

WHY WE LOVE THEM

These reusable 2-in-1 pouches cut down on plastic lunch bags—and keep your sandwich fresh and chips dry!

WHERE TO GET THEM

PRODUCT OF THE WEEK

Why do so many people substitute the word “like” for “said”? Example: “When he told

me he was from New York, I was like, ‘Wow, me too!’ ” Isn’t it clearer and simpler to say, “I said, ‘Wow…’ ”? Or is that, like, not cool?

—John Soos, Alexandria, Va.

i think using the word “like” this way is a handy—if slangy—contraction of “I said something like…” In other words, the speakers aren’t trying to quote what they’ve actually said. (And who could remember, anyway?) Instead, they’re conveying a sense of the whole scene—how they felt and what they expressed in general terms. The word “like” sounds lightweight, all right, but it works.

How many times should a deck of cards be shuffl ed to assure a fair game? —Tori, Tucson

studies indicate that seven shuffl es are best for practical purposes. Fewer aren’t quite suffi cient for a random mix, and additional shuffl ing doesn’t mix up the cards suffi ciently to be worth the time or effort. Seven may not be a lucky number, but it’s enough!

Manner Up!Your guide

to modern etique� e

My friends and I go to dinner once a month. I lost my job, so I have to watch what I spend, but they still choose pricey restaurants. I don’t want to be a killjoy, but I can’t a� ord this!

—Janine K., Salt Lake City

A: Nothing ruins an evening like spending an entire meal worrying about maxing out your credit card. But even though your fi nancial reality may be uppermost in your mind, your friends may not be aware of your constraints. Speak up! “Tell them how much you enjoy spending time with them—and that you’re not looking to freeload—but things have to change,” suggests Leah Ingram, creator of the website SuddenlyFrugal.com and founder of GiftsandEtiquette.com. You could also initiate a new routine by hosting a potluck. Or take a lead role in choosing the next restaurant. Budget dining doesn’t have to mean fast food. Think ethnic: Thai, Chinese, Indian, and Italian places often have wallet-friendly menus. “My gut sense is that your friends don’t have any idea of the impact on you, and they’ll be happy to make a change,” Ingram says.

—Nancy Bilyeau

Myth #3

YOU CAN WORRY

YOURSELF TO

DEATH.

Actually, the opposite is true: Terman’s study clearly revealed that the best predictor of longevity in children was conscientious-ness—being prudent, well organized, even somewhat obsessive. The same was true later in life. Adults who were

thrifty, persistent, detail-oriented, and responsible lived the longest. Patricia, for example, “planned her work in detail” and had “defi nite purposes.” (And dependable doesn’t have to mean dull: Many of the most conscientious Terman subjects led exciting lives.)

One of the most obvious explanations is that con-scientious people do more to protect their health—for example, wearing seat belts or following doctors’ orders—and engage in fewer risky activities, like smoking, drinking to excess, abusing drugs, or driv-ing too fast. They are not necessarily risk-averse, but they tend to be sensible in evaluating how far to push the envelope. Having this trait leads people into hap-pier marriages, better friendships, and healthier work situations. That’s right: Conscientious people create long-life pathways for themselves. And you aren’t locked into—or out of—this trait. One Terman sub-ject who lived to an old age scored very low in con-scientiousness as a youngster. As an adult, he found a job he liked and had a very solid marriage. He became conscientious—and reaped the rewards.

Reprinted by arrangement with Hudson Street Press, a member of Penguin Group (USA) Inc., from THE LONGEVITY PROJECT by Howard S. Friedman, Ph.D., and Leslie R. Martin, Ph.D. Copyright © 2011 by Howard S. Friedman, Ph.D., and Leslie R. Martin, Ph.D.

IN 1921, two precocious children named Patricia and John were pulled out of their San Francisco classrooms by Lewis Terman, a Stanford Uni-versity psychologist who was interested in discovering the sources of intel-lectual leadership. • Eighty years later, both Patricia and John were still alive and in good health—at age 91. What was their secret? As health scientists, we’ve spent the past 20 years following up with all of Terman’s 1,500 subjects—whose lives were tracked for eight decades as they grew up and had kids and grandkids—to discover why some of them thrived well into old age while others did not. • We looked at not only how long each participant lived, but also how they died. We studied a range of other fac-tors—from schools to jobs to personality type—to see which traits pre-dicted longevity. • And in the end we discovered that many of the mantras

you hear (Eat your vege-tables! Get married! Re-lax!) are good for you in lots of ways but don’t en-sure a longer life. Read on to fi nd out what myths we uncovered, then take our online quiz to see how you measure up.

MARRIAGE GUARANTEES A LONGER LIFE. That’s not necessarily true. Scientifi c studies show it’s not married people who live longer but married men. The bulk of the evidence shows little, if any, advantage for married women. With men, the key risk appears to be divorce, which can disrupt vital ties to family members and friends for years to come. In the Terman study, steadily married men were likely to live to age 70 and beyond, but fewer than a third of the divorced men reached old age. Divorce not only harms men directly but also sets in motion other unhealthy behaviors. Steadily mar-ried women in the Terman study lived somewhat longer than women who divorced and then remar-

ried. But women who divorced and never remarried did just fi ne—in fact, they usually lived long lives.

more years overall. Usually, increased responsibility brings more challenges and a heavier workload, but this paradoxically correlates with long-term health.

Findings were especially dramatic among the oldest participants. Continually productive men and women lived much longer than their

more laid-back comrades. A sustained work life mattered a great deal more than even their sense of happiness. So think carefully before retiring. Giving up an interesting, demanding job to live in a golf community away from your friends could actually increase the risk to your health.

Myth #2

TAKING IT EASY ADDS

YEARS TO YOUR LIFE.

Relaxation and an early retirement do not ensure long-lasting health.

Terman study subjects with the most career success were the least likely to die young. In fact, on average, the most successful men lived fi ve years longer than the least successful. Ambition, perseverance, impulse control, and high motivation contributed to a resilient work life, and that led to

Myth #4

MORE DEGREES MEAN

MORE YEARS. Not so fast. We got some big surprises when we studied the effect of education on life span. During the era when Terman partici-pants were children, it was common for parents to enroll their kids in school early and let them skip grades. But we found that when children en-tered fi rst grade at age 5, not age 6, they often did not live as long. No single thing ex-plained the higher risk, but because relating to classmates is so important, an early start may have launched some kids down erratic paths.

As for higher education, we found that level of schooling by itself was not a very impor-tant predictor of longevity. The better-educated did tend to be healthier and live a little longer—but much more rele-vant than how many years of advanced formal education a person received were produc-tivity and persistence in the face of challenges.

Myth #5

FRIENDLY, OUTGOING

PEOPLE THRIVE. This widely held assumption

is fl awed. Americans tend

to view extroversion as

desirable—we worry if our

children are shy. But our

research indicates that

sociable children did not, for

the most part, live any longer

than their more introverted

classmates.

John is a good example:

A shy child who tried to

avoid playing in large groups,

he preferred chess and

checkers to tag or charades.

He later became a physicist

and was healthy into his 90s.

Why doesn’t sociability

necessarily set one on a path

to long life? After all, outgoing

children grow up to have

better social relations, and

Myth #6

JOCKS OUTLIVE NERDS.

Regular physical exercise is good for your heart, no question. But if you’re athletic when young, then gradually become—and stay—sedentary in your middle years, you lose any longevity benefi t. Being active in middle age is the key. And exercise doesn’t have to be intense, like running long distances every day, to be effective. John, the shy scientist, loved to ski. Linda, another Terman subject who lived a long life, made time for dancing, tennis, and gardening. The important thing is to fi nd activities that suit you and stick with them over the long haul.

WILL YOU LIVE A LONG LIFE? Take the authors’

quiz to fi nd out if you have the personality type

linked to longevity. Go to Parade.com/longevity

that’s normally a sign of good

health, right? In the study,

children like John tended to

move into stable jobs, have

long-lasting marriages,

and work in a responsible

manner. Highly sociable

people, in contrast, may be

leaders in their businesses

because of their enthusiasm

and charm—but they’re also

more likely to go along with

social pressures to drink

or smoke. A “people person”

may often join in the dangers

of the moment—and that

affects longevity.

Similarly, we often hear

that optimism is the secret

to a healthy life. But the data

suggest that cheerful,

optimistic children were

actually less likely to live to

an old age than their more

staid, sober counterparts.

Cheerfulness was

comparable to high blood

pressure and high cholesterol

as a risk factor for early

death. Happiness and

good health often go hand

in hand—but that doesn’t

mean happiness is the direct

cause of good health. We

found that it is usually some

other set of characteristics

that makes someone both

happier and healthier.

And optimism has a serious

downside: No-worry folks

may underestimate or ignore

real threats and thereby fail

to take precautions or follow

medical advice.

BEING A

STAR ATHLETE IN

HIGH SCHOOL

WON’T HELP YOU

NEARLY AS MUCH AS

BEING ACTIVE IN

MIDDLE AGE.

it was 2 a.m. when the future president fi nally turned up at the University of Michigan on Oct. 14, 1960. In the middle of a cross-country tour to shore up votes, Sen.

John F. Kennedy was so tired he joked that he’d come to Ann Arbor to go to bed. But something about the youthful crowd— 10,000 students strong—jolted him awake, inspiring him to drop his notes and speak off the cuff. “How many of you who are going to be doctors are willing to spend your days in Ghana?” he asked. “Technicians or engineers, how many of you are willing to work in the Foreign Service and spend your lives traveling around the world?”

His speech captivated newlywed graduate students Alan and Judy Guskin. A few nights later at a diner, they scrawled a call to action on a napkin, urging students to heed Kennedy’s words and start a volunteer movement.

The letter was printed in the college paper, and Michigan students shared it with friends at other schools. Kennedy’s advisers also took notice, and the Guskins were invited to meet him shortly before Election Day.

“Senator, are you really serious about this?” Judy asked him.

“Until Tuesday, we have to worry about the election,” he told her. “After that, the world.”

Within six months, on March 1, 1961, Kennedy signed the executive order creating the Peace Corps. Calling it the “kiddie korps,” critics predicted it would attract draft dodgers. But for Kennedy and his brief presidency, the Peace Corps became the living embodiment of his plea to “ask not what your country can do for

you—ask what you can do for your country.”

Under the leadership of founding director Sargent Shriver (who passed away last month), the Peace Corps sent 600 volunteers to six countries that year with the mission that continues today : to spread peace and friendship. Since then, more than 200,000 Americans have served in 139 countries in what some call “the toughest job you’ll ever love.”

MSNBC news commentator Chris Matthews was dropped off in southern Swaziland in 1968 and told to “develop this province”—at 22 and with a year of graduate-school economics under his belt. By the end of his two years, he’d

assisted some 200 vendors and tradesmen, organized business-ed courses, and acted in a production of The Merchant of Venice.

For the boy from Philly who’d never left the country before, the experience gave the returning Matthews the confi dence to knock on doors in Washington, D.C., leading to speechwriting

work for President Jimmy Carter and a job as Speaker of the House Tip O’Neill’s top aide. “The Peace Corps gets you out of your rut,” Matthews says. “It’s a great challenge as a young person to walk into a village and start relating to people.”

During his stint in Mali from 1988 to 1990, Tom Moriarty dug wells. “But the real thing I accomplished was forging human bonds,” says the now 44-year-old federal-government risk manager. In Mali, Moriarty got into a motorcycle accident and had to fl y back to the U.S. for treatment. His host mother’s fi rst impulse was to mail him clothes—she’d heard it was cold in America.

Still, navigating the often vast cultural divides isn’t always so easy. Darlene Grant, 50, is a social-work professor currently serving in Cambodia. An African-American who spent part of her childhood in the deep South, Grant thought she’d seen enough racism to last a lifetime. So she was unprepared for the stares she got in Battambang and the derisive shouts of “K’mao!”—Khmer for “black.” Riding her bike one day, she slid into a sewer and got stuck waist-deep in sludge. Passersby stopped and laughed, but no one offered to help.

The incident made Grant determined to encourage people to appreciate one another’s differences. Now, when strangers yell “K’mao!” she tells them to say “Sa’at k’mao surrii” —“beautiful black lady”—instead. After she returns to America next year, she’ll share these lessons with students. “We don’t have the luxury to be timid, to not speak up against inhumanity,” she says.

But Grant’s experience points to the risks involved in joining the

Peace Corps. In 50 years, 23 volunteers have been murdered while serving. In January, ABC News reported that more than 1,000 volunteers had been raped or sexually assaulted in the last decade, and some accuse the organization of ignoring their concerns and responding with apathy. “We will never be able to eliminate volunteers’ exposure to crimes overseas,” said Peace Corps director Aaron S. Williams, “but we will work continuously to maximize [their] health and safety.”

olunteers today

sign on for 27 months, which

includes three initial months of study in language, culture, health, and technical skills. They work with residents in one of six areas: education, health, youth development, agriculture, the environment, or business. Stipends range from roughly $200 to $300 a month.

Under the Obama administration, the Peace Corps’ budget has risen from $340 million to $400 million (its largest ever). Driven in part by the president’s emphasis on service, 13,500 candidates vied for 4,000 slots in 2010.

The organization’s success is immensely gratifying to the Guskins, who served in Thailand from 1962 to 1964. Afterward, Alan embarked on an academic career culminating in the presidency of Antioch University. Judy became a professor, a leader in bilingual education, and a documentary fi lmmaker. (The couple divorced 21 years ago.)

There is a proposed Settlement in Cobell v. Salazar, a class action lawsuit about individual Indian land held in trust by the federal government. This notice is just a summary. For details, call the toll-free number or visit the website listed below.

The lawsuit claims that the federal government violated its duties by (a) mismanaging trust funds/assets, (b) improperly accounting for those funds, and (c) mismanaging trust land/assets. The trust funds include money collected from farming and grazing leases, timber sales, mining, and oil and gas production from land owned by American Indians/Alaska Natives.

who’d returned six months ago, and he sounded just like someone who’d come back 30 years before,” Alan notes. “Everyone says the same thing—that they gained much more than they gave.”

Indeed, Roshi Matewere refl ects daily on her time in the Peace Corps. When the 24-year-old Iranian-American arrived in 2000 at the school in Malawi where she would teach, she found that the students had no desks or supplies and only one textbook. She raised $500 from American friends and relatives to buy furniture for her class and convinced a Malawi offi cial to fund desks for two other classes.

“When the truck with the desks came, the students surrounded me,” recalls Matewere, now 35 and a Roanoke, Va., math teacher married to a Malawian shopkeeper she met during her stint. “They cheered, and I started to cry.

“The Peace Corps taught me to be self-sustaining,” she adds. “Afterward, I felt like you could put me anywhere in the world and I’d survive.”

For n e a r ly a

decade, classical-pop star Josh Gro-ban has had serious

success, selling 25 million al-bums worldwide. But the af-fable 29-year-old, whose latest disc is Illuminations, refuses to take himself too seriously. Look no further than his self-deprecating guest shots on Glee and his skits for Jimmy Kimmel Live!, where he did a musical tribute to Kanye West’s tweets. “For as long as I can remember,” Groban tells Shawna Malcom, “I’ve been the class clown.”

What does a balladeer put on to get a girl in the mood?[laughs] Nine Inch Nails.

Seriously?We ain’t listenin’ to nothing romantic; I get enough of that during the day! And I’m super-shy about playing my songs or singing for a girl I like. I guess because it’s such a part of me, I look at it as, “I’m letting you in now.” It’s gotta be someone really spe-cial for me to feel comfortable doing that.

In July, you’ll appear in the movie Crazy Stupid Love with Steve Carell. I play a lawyer who thinks he’s the life of the party telling bad jokes. I must do that really well,

because they didn’t audition anybody else! I don’t know what that says about me. I was honored, and then I was like, “Wait a minute….”

Pitch a story line for your next guest shot on Glee.A “hair-off ” between Matthew Morrison and me would be an absolute delight. I think I could take him down!

You turn 30 on February 27. How does that feel?I’m embracing it. My 20s have been fi lled with a lot of trial-by-fi re moments and uncer-tainty, but I’m going to enjoy my 30s the way I should’ve enjoyed my 20s. And mark my words—if I’m not on Broadway and/or hosting Sat-urday Night Live by the time I’m 40, you’ll fi nd me packing it in and playing shuffl eboard.

What’s your Sunday routine?Musician hours are not like everyone else’s, so my Sunday might actually fall on a Wednesday. I’m generally a night owl, so there’s a good possibility that I will sleep until noon. I’m not proud of it, but I’m not gonna sugarcoat it. I like to take my dog to Central Park so he can run around—if I can have fun through his eyes, it’s a good day.

Will you typically cook at home or eat out?My cooking is cereal and milk—I’m a big-time Cheerios guy. I have video of my parents brib-ing me with them when I was a kid: “If you sing ‘You Are My Sunshine,’ you’re allowed to put your hand in the box and take as many as you can grab!” But I’m also a fan of restaurant brunches. I’m on a search for the best huevos rancheros in New York.

What’s your most unusual backstage request? Backstage, I want a couch, water, edamame, and apple juice, which is good for clear-ing your throat. But for the bus it’s a CB radio. You can tap into the truckers’ radios and talk anonymously. I love to prank walkie-talkie! Like, “10-9er, 9er, radio check. Over.” And they say, “Yeah, your radio’s working all right. Where you going to?” “I’m hauling about 20 tons of Velveeta cheese down to Aus-tin. What are you haulin’?” You can keep going and going. I tell you, it’s addictive.
