Here's another face quiz from Ayyyy.com:
This time it's all about TV food celebrities. And it's ridiculously hard, I think. I mean, I have watched a lot of food TV in my day - heck, I used to watch the Amish lady on PBS back in '91! - but I'm almost completely stumped on this puzzle. Foo. I posted my very few (and shaky) guesses in the comments section, as per usual. I promise I won't cheat and look at other peoples' guesses but I do reserve the right to update my guesses should a moment of inspiration strike!!

Charles Van Doren - notorious Twenty-One cheat and subject of the 1994 film Quiz Show - has broken his 50 year silence on the subject and published an article in the New Yorker. It's a loooong one (8 pages) but should be an interesting read (no, I haven't read the whole thing yet). EW.com reports:
I enjoyed this play-by-play from jezebel.com on the People.com unveiling of the Holy Twins last night:
7:40pm: I'm getting dinner. See you guys in the ayem.
7:33pm:Breaking: They look like tiny babies. Shiloh, up in the upper right-hand corner, is similarly nonplussed.
7:30pm: THEY ARE HERE HOLY CRAP
7:20pm Still no twins. $14 million dollars and still no twins.
7:15pm: People.com claimed that pictures of the almighty Jolie-Pitt twins would be revealed today at 7pm. (See? It says so right in the red banner.) Anna called me; I am sitting here waiting for these damn miracles (or "Infant Deities," as one commenter called them ). But right now it is 7:14pm and Knox and Vivi are no where to be seen. WTF.
This amused me because the stupid "Come back Sunday at 7pm EDT!!!!!" banner started running on the site on, like, Thursday. Ridiculous. And then People.com couldn't even get their crap together by 7pm EDT? C'mon, now. I expect better. (Tiny silver lining: People.com may not have posted the photos on time... but they did remove the banner right at 7. :o) )

...Van Doren goes into detail about how he was recruited to appear on Twenty-One, how the deception unraveled, how he lied to interrogators before ultimately coming clean, how temptation returned in the form of an offer to be a paid consultant on Redford's movie, how he felt about the finished film and Ralph Fiennes' performance as him, and how he learned over the years the differences between fame, celebrity, and notoriety. Two mysteries remain: why he agreed to the scam in the first place (he hints that money and fame were factors, but doesn't actually specify what made him so quick to compromise his integrity) and why he's suddenly willing to talk about it now. Still, Van Doren's account makes for a fascinating tale, especially given how much fakery there still is on television.

Coldplay has released two videos for their track Viva la Vida, one of which was directed by Hype Williams. But who cares about that when the other one is an "attempt at a video cover version, made out of love for Depeche Mode and the genius of Anton Corbijn." Woohoo!!! EVERYONE loves the Mode!!! :o) You can check out the boring ol' Hype Williams version here. Or you can not waste you time and go directly to the Mode homage below:
Here's the video that inspired the above Chris Martin fest, DM's 'Enjoy the Silence':
Chris and co. totally should've gone for the cropped leather jackets!! I consider their 'video cover' quite incomplete without them.

Phew, this is a hard one. For me, anyway. Here goes:
1.
2.
3. Rachael Ray
4.
5. Nigella Lawson
6.
7. (Alton Brown is the first name that came to mind but I have no idea)
8. Mario Batali
9. Julia Child
10.
Mario Batali is the only one I can make out (not too hard, is it?). I do think you're right, Lauren, that Alton Brown is #7 -- the shirt is a big clue. And I'm going with Bobby Flay for #10 -- hard to tell since I can't see his lip.
Aah, good call on Bobby Flay. That is a definite possibility, especially considering the person has an American flag on their arm... as a participant in Iron Chef America, perhaps? I think Bobby Flay for #10 is an excellent guess. Thank you!
