Summer's here and that can mean only one thing -- food! Okay, maybe that's only what it means at the Food Network.
The Food Network will kick off six new shows for the summer beginning right after the Fourth of July. Here's what's on tap:
• Grill It! with Bobby Flay - This is the latest from Iron Chef and master griller
Bobby Flay. It's sort of a competition/fantasy show, but not a Throw Down (that's another show). Bobby will introduce 13 viewers who've sent in their videos showing their grilling expertise and why they should be on air to grill alongside BF. The show premieres on July 6 at 9 o'clock a.m. with a shrimp episode.
• How'd That Get On My Plate? - From the field to the plate, hostess Sunny Anderson -- who just started on FN in April with
Cooking for Real -- shows how the things we eat make it to our tables. The first episode is July 6 at 11 p.m. The food in question will be strawberries.

Now that the news that
Rosie O'Donnell
is going to join The View this fall has been out for a few days, I've been taking a few milliseconds to
think about the ramifications.
Let's just say this: It's gonna be ugly.
I mean, Rosie's about 20
times more aggressive and opinionated than the woman she's replacing, Meredith Vieira. And, she'll be butting heads
with a conservative co-host, Elizabeth Hasselbeck, who may or may not be all that happy about either Rosie's lifestyle
or anti-gun stance.
And then there's Star. Rosie's been
very vocal in the past about Star Jones, most recently
objecting to the former bridezilla's need to hide details about
her dramatic weight loss. As it is, the two don't seem particularly compatible, with Star very into her clothes,
jewels, and talking about herself, and Rosie being very into... well, the complete opposite of that.
So, how
long do you think it's going to take before there's a shouting match? How 'bout a knock-down, drag-out, hair-pulling
fight? I'm going to set the over/under for both at these numbers:
Shouting match: 1 week
Hair-pulling fight: 3 weeks
What do you think? Will it take more or less time than this for these
events to happen? Let me know in the comments.
