As Jon and Kate Gosselin's marriage has slowly self-destructed, Kate is finding that the brand she has so carefully built is under attack. A children's clothing line that she produced with Healthtex is on hold, and her latest book, Love in the Mix: Making Meals into Memories, has been sidelined while she and her husband work out their divorce.Filed under: Extracurriculars, Food, Kids and Money, Celebs & Money
In an effort to increase its flow of late-night customers, 24-hour restaurant chain Denny's is using an interesting new marketing technique: corporate branding with famous rock stars.Filed under: Sex Sells, Food, Relationships
It's been a pretty amazing week for snack foods. In addition to delivering nacho cheese and big, crunchy flavor, Frito Lay's Cheetos and Doritos brands have also been offering a hearty helping of domestic warfare and illicit sex.
When one thinks about debt collectors, names like "leech," "bloodsucker," and "pit bull" immediately dance from the tongue; for those lucky few of us who have occasionally received wake-up calls from the bill man, the terms get even more emotionally fraught and foully descriptive. While cannibalism is obviously a somewhat extreme response, regular social calls from creditors can help one see the wisdom of Hannibal Lector, who proudly bragged of eating a census-taker's liver with "fava beans and a nice chianti."Filed under: Credit, Entrepreneurship, Career
In 2003, The Servicemembers Civil Relief Act was instituted to ensure that American soldiers who were sent to combat positions overseas wouldn't be financially penalized upon their return.

While the recent economic boom may be most famous for its expensive restaurants, outrageously priced vacations, and insanely high corporate bonuses, its ultimate symbol may well have been cocktail culture. While beer remains the plebian quaff of choice and wine is popular with a more staid crowd, mixed drinks demonstrated energy, excitement, and expense. For many a sophisticated clubgoer, there was nothing more impressive than an experienced bartender, bottles flipping in the air, producing a crisp Mojito or a sweet Cosmopolitan.Filed under: Budgets, Saving, Shopping, Recession
Neiman-Marcus, suffering from plummeting profits over the last year, has announced a major change in its marketing approach. Rather than positioning itself as a price-is-no-object retailer, it will now begin offering lower-priced goods and promotional marketing events. By doing so, the company hopes to attract some of its cash-strapped former customers who currently are flocking to discount retailers.Filed under: Entrepreneurship, Food, Shopping
In an interesting move, Burger King has decided to take fast food where it's never gone before...into the produce aisle!I have a high amount of debt and have been thinking about debt consolidation. Can you explain how this works, and how it affects my FICO score?
