Lisa Edelstein is all about family life.
The Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce star got candid about her personal life and what it's like to help raise her husband’s children in a recent essay for Redbook magazine.
Watch: George Clooney and Hugh Laurie Reprise 'E.R.' and 'House' Roles to Rap Jimmy Kimmel Back to Life
“Is it so impossible to imagine loving a child you didn't give birth to?” the 51-year-old actress says. “Sure, raising human beings is hard even when you've had the opportunity for oxytocin to kick in for some chemical bonding. But as any adoptive parent will tell you, love comes anyway, even if you became a parent without having sex to get there or you became a parent by default. Like me.”

Lisa Edelstein Writes Moving Essay on How Her Role as a Stepmom Has Evolved: ‘I Was Dating a Family’
When Lisa Edelstein first started thinking about why stepparents have a negative connotation associated with them, she did what any post-millennium individual would do: turned to the internet.
“I tried to Google Why do stepmothers have such a bad rap? but by the time I typed ‘Why do stepm-,’ Google excitedly anticipated my needs, showing me Why do stepmothers hate stepchildren? Why? Why?” the Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce star writes in a new essay for Redbook.
“Is it so impossible to imagine loving a child you didn’t give birth to?” writes Edelstein, 50, who is stepmom to husband Robert Russell‘s two sons.

Emma Watson graduated this weekend from Brown University with a degree in English Literature. She is also the highest grossing actress of the decade. We think Hermione would be proud of Emmas degree, but then probably ask for donations for S.P.E.W.

FIFA 13 is released at the end of the week and as always one of the favourite features is the career mode.
To celebrate I’ve made a list of eight teams worth managing. Since this edition allows for managers to join international teams, I’ve included a couple of national team jobs as well.
8. Recreativo Huelva – Liga Segunda
Alexander Mackay and Robert Russell Ross were two Scotsmen living in Spain. They worked at the Rio Tinto mines as doctors and they created Recreativo Huelva as a way for the miners to keep in shape under their supervision. Football had finally arrived in Spain.
El Decano won several Andalusian championships in the early 1910s and they were the first Spanish team to defeat a Portuguese side when they beat Sporting Club de Portugal; more commonly known as Sportin Lisbon.
They have enjoyed a few seasons in the top division but they...

“Don’t Judge a Book by Its Cover” is a proverb whose simple existence proves the fact impressionable souls will do so without fail. This monthly column focuses on the film industry’s willingness to capitalize on this truth, releasing one-sheets to serve as not representations of what audiences are to expect, but as propaganda to fill seats. Oftentimes they fail miserably.

Los Angeles — An emergency room physician told jurors Monday that Michael Jackson's doctor never mentioned that he had given the singer the powerful anesthetic propofol.
Dr. Richelle Cooper recounted her conversations with Dr. Conrad Murray on the day Jackson died, telling jurors that he told her that he had only given the singer the sedative lorazepam.
Cooper resumed testifying Monday as Murray's involuntary manslaughter trial began its second week.
Murray, 58, has pleaded not guilty and his defense lawyers claim Jackson gave himself a fatal dose of sedatives and propofol, which is normally administered in hospital settings.
Authorities say he administered the fatal dose and acted recklessly by providing Jackson the drug as a sleep aid.
Cooper testified she never asked Murray to sign a death certificate because, by the time he was brought to Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, Jackson became her patient.

Los Angeles (AP) -- After just a few moments in Michael Jackson's bedroom, the paramedic dispatched to save the singer's life knew things weren't adding up.
There was the skinny man on the floor, eyes open and a surgical cap on his head. His skin was turning blue. Paramedic Richard Senneff asked the sweating, frantic-looking doctor in the room what condition the stricken man had.
"He said, `Nothing. He has nothing,'" Senneff told jurors at the involuntary manslaughter trial of Jackson's doctor, Conrad Murray.
"Simply, that did not add up to me," Senneff said.
Over the course of the 42 minutes that Los Angeles paramedics tried to revive Jackson, several other things about the room and Murray's responses seemed inconsistent with what had really happened, Senneff said.

The prosecution presented more incriminating evidence and witness testimony during day four in the manslaughter trial against former Michael Jackson doctor Conrad Murray.
Witnesses who took the stand Friday (September 30) included medical-equipment expert Bob Johnson; Robert Russell, a former patient of Murray's; paramedics Richard Senneff and Martin Blount; and ER doctor Richelle Cooper.
Johnson's testimony proved to be particularly interesting in that he claimed the device Murray was using to monitor Jackson's pulse and blood oxygen level, a pulse oximeter, was an inferior model that did not feature an alarm that would have alerted Murray to Jackson's cardiac arrest the moment it occurred. The alarm feature is a point...

Broadway musical theatre writer who wrote the libretto for Fiddler on the Roof and the screenplay for the 1971 film
Joseph Stein, who has died aged 98, was the last of the great Broadway musical theatre writers coming out of New York revue and television comedy after the second world war. Most famously, he wrote the book, or libretto, for Fiddler on the Roof (1964) and Zorba (1968). "There are no limitations to the subject for a musical," Stein once said, "just as there are no limitations to the subject for a play or a novel. The only limitation that I can see is that it has to have an honesty about the relationship of people to each other."
He cast his net wide, shaping not only the Ukrainian shtetl stories of Sholom Aleichem into the tale of Tevye the milkman and his five daughters in Fiddler on the Roof, but also drawing, perhaps surprisingly,...
