Taste The Lin-Sanity

Have U been watching all the Linsanity unfold this year as Knicks point guard Jeremy Lin continues to rise as a top competitor in the NBA?

Well, now you can taste it too! If you live near Harvard, at least.

Ben & Jerry's has honored the player with his own flavor of frozen yogort called Taste The Lin-Sanity! The Vermont-based company has only released the new concoction at its at Harvard Square location because Jeremy is a graduate of the prestigious university.

According to a spokesperson, the limited time promotion will run through the school's basketball season and also raise money for a to-be-determined Cambridge nonprofit.

It's a pretty big deal to have your own ice cream flavor and should be taken as a sign that Jeremy has truly made it. Other celebs who have influenced the ice cream makers to create a unique flavor include Jimmy Fallon, Stephen Colbert, and Alec Baldwin's Schweddy Balls character on Saturday Night Live.

The frozen yogurt, which blends vanilla with lychee honey swirls and a fresh waffle cookie on the side, caused some controversy too.

Originally, the company included pieces of fortune cookie in the their new flavor, which we can only assume was a nod to Lin's Asian heritage. Some people took offense to the cookie's inclusion, as Ben & Jerry's general manager for Boston and Cambridge explained:

"There seemed to be a bit of an initial backlash about it, but we obviously weren't looking to offend anybody and the majority of the feedback about it has been positive."

Everyone in the Harvard area can now relax and Taste The Lin-Sanity without feeling like they are supporting any damaging stereotypes because the flavor is now fortune cookie free!

As for the rest of us around the country, we'll just have to settle for tasting the company's new Greek frozen yogurt instead.

Alec Baldwin Gets A Lesson In 'Tebowing' From Tim Tebow!

Filed Under: Katy Perry Football Russell Brand Alec Baldwin Tim Tebow

LOLz!

While hosting Saturday's NFL Honors on NBC, Alec Baldwin did his best "Tebow" during his opening monologue. However, his form was just a little bit off and he needed some help from Tim Tebow himself.

Check out the video above to see what we're talking about, but Alec wasn't the only Hollywood celeb to call out to the breakout NFL star.

Before announcing the "Offensive Rookie of the Year", Katy Perry looked at the Denver Broncos quarterback sitting in the front row and said, "Hi Tim, my parents say hi."

Katy's parents are both pastors and now that she's single, we think they would LOVE for her to date a guy like Tebow. Ha!

We're not sure if he could handle Katy's wild side, but considering her marriage with bad boy Russell Brand didn't work out, maybe Tebow is exactly the kind of guy Katy needs!

Alec Baldwin Announces He Is "Pre-Diabetic" At SAG Awards

Wow. First Paula Deen, now him. Crazy!

Last night at the Screen Actor's Guild Awards, Alec Baldwin revealed that last May, he was diagnosed by doctors as being "pre-diabetic." As you might've guessed, this is a condition in which Alec is "boderline" afflicted with type 2 diabetes, with impaired glucose levels close, but not fully at the level of a full diabetic.

Alec confessed that he has subsequently changed his eating habits and has lost more than 30lbs since he made these diet changes. If he keeps this up, he's actively combatting developing full-blown type 2 diabetes.

We're sad to hear that his condition has come to this, but we're glad to hear he is doing all he can on his end to keep himself as healthy as possible.
