‘The Breakfast Club’: Jill Scott Names Elijah Blake One Of Her Favourite Artists

For many, her contributions to music is immeasurable- standing tall as one of the few R&B acts to sustain a critical and commercial acclaim just as strong now as it was upon the release of her debut album 13 years ago.

We’re talking about Jill Scott of course, the genius behind the Grammy winning effort that is ‘Cross My Mind‘.

Now, during an interview with hit radio show ‘The Breakfast Club‘, the singer/songwriter has revealed the name of the new is occupying the most space in mind and soul.

Elijah Blake.

While forgetting his first name while singing his praises, Scott took to Twitter to confirm she was indeed reffering to Elijah with the message below…

Upon learning of her praise, the 23 year old star responded with:

RT “@missjillscott: @queenlaven YES! @robertglasper introduced me. Dope”<~ Thank You. Always great to be appreciated by a living legend

Eat breakfast, lose more weight: true or false?

(KLTV) -

When the alarm clock goes off, some claim breakfast should go on, but a group of Vanderbilt University Doctors disagrees. A new study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition says that's just a rumor, and that eating, or not eating, breakfast has no effect on weight gain or loss.

Danielle Townsend, a nutritionist at Mother Frances Hospital, is suspicious.

"I think that studies come out and we change our theories about things a lot," she said.

The 12-week-long study focused on two groups of subjects, those who normally ate breakfast and those who normally did not. All were asked to consume the same amount of calories which did cause them to lose weight. All were advised not to eat breakfast.

Those who normally did not east breakfast lost an average of 17 pounds, while those who normally did lost an average of 20 pounds.

"You know, I've done a lot of interviews, and it all comes down to moderation and what you're choosing and making a healthy habit and eating," Townsend said.

Having a healthy breakfast is different than having one high in fat and sugar, she said. Nonetheless, she will continue to urge her patients to fry up those eggs.

"There's a lot of myths that have been debunked and there are a lot of different thoughts on these things and I'm sticking with breakfast."

The study also claimed much misinformation came from past studies that have since been proven skewed. Ultimately, Townsend says, it's up to the individual's body.

"You know, if it's working for you, it's working for you. If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

Another recent study supports this one. It was done at Cornell University and found those who did not eat breakfast did eat more at lunch, in general, but their total caloric intake was still less than those who ate breakfast.

Original Pancake House: Best Breakfast In The OC

Anaheim, CA -

To look at some of the comments on Facebook about this story we weren't on television but Droolivision. Truth is the pancakes at the Original Pancake House in Anaheim were pretty darn good. Well, that's according to Hal's Best of Orange County (if there were such a thing), but we're talking about the OC Registers Best of Orange County and when you get on that list it can translate into increased sales.

That's what Adam Voll told me. Adam own the place and has some really loyal customers. I met three all of whom have been coming to Voll's restaurant since the 70's.

The OC Registers Best of OC comes out every year.This was the 20th edition. The booklets came out in Sunday's OC Register. They're also available online. They look at over80 categories. 70 picked by public vote like BEST BREAKFAST. That's what the pancake  house got and they were proud as they showed me their German pancake and apple pancake. They even flipped a few cottage cheese pancakes.

Congratulations to the Original Pancake House!
