As the only undefeated team left in the NFC, it’s no secret the Bears have been on a hot (or lucky) streak lately. Is it the result of Jay Cut’s new beau, Hills hottie (or bad girl, depending who you ask) Kristin Cavallari? The normally media shy quarterback has been seen canoodling all over town with the ex-reality star.

99 Bottles of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer, take one down, pass it around and let’s celebrate Oktoberfest how the Germans envisioned- with good food, good drinks and good company. Prost, cheers and l’chaim.

Often called “the real taste of Chicago” or the “taste of Chicago for rich foodies,” I never thought it was possible to be overwhelmed by food until I experienced Chicago Gourmet. A CG virgin, I did not plan to be tasting 120+ dishes in two days, but being from some of the best chefs in the world, you’d kick yourself for missing any one of these little morsels. All in all, if you braved the cold (winter, you’ve wasted no time rearing your ugly head), long lines and overwhelming alcohol supply, it was a memorable time for sure.

You know the feeling: it’s debatably the end of the night, the thumpin’ club beats are starting to wind down, but you don’t want to ditch out early and be the party pooper. Late night grub has become as much of a production as the drink spots themselves. So choose your munchies wisely and go to bed on a bright note.

A constant staple in the society pages, MK Prizker held her annual see and be seen equestrian event at their private farm in Bristol, Wisconsin on September 11. The Evergreen Invitational had a wet start with scattered showers resulting in a five-way tie of the $25,000 Junior/Amateur Owner. But it cleared up for Kent Farrington and Up Chiqui to take first in the $75,000 Grand Prix. The sun burst through the clouds just in time for the victory lap. Both courses were designed by eight-time USEF course designer of the year, Richard Jeffrey, on the sand based, grass Grand Prix field. The weekend-long event included a poker party Friday night, a Promenade of Shops including vendors like Graff Diamonds, Lake Forest Sport Cars, Dennis Basso, Escada, Saddlers Row, Argo Tea, Hoosier Mama Pies and many more and food tents.

Kelli Zink grew up with a microphone in her hand, always knowing she wanted to be a reporter. From knocking on the door of a Fox Sports production truck after a basketball game in her cheerleader uniform to winning an ESPN reality show, she did whatever it took to get her foot in the television door. By the age of 22 she had been a sports anchor in two markets and decided it was time to move west. She drove her 1996 Ford to LA to help launch the NFL Network- even creating the network’s original slogan; “Where Football Season Never Ends.” Needing a change, she moved back to the Midwest. Zink is currently the host of CelebTV.com, and a regular contributor to the top entertainment news shows in the country, including CNN Headline News’ Nancy Grace, CNN’s ShowBiz Tonight, MSNBC and Fox News. She is a weekly guest on “The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet” where she talks about hot topics spanning from politics to pop culture.
