Angelina Jolie in Salt — See it or Skip it?
Exciting — we saw Angelina Jolie filming it, but now the first trailer for Salt has been released! She plays Evelyn Salt, a CIA officer who is accused by a defector of being a Russian spy, and has to go on the run and try to clear her name. The film's not out until summer 2010, but I'd love to know if you think you'll see it, or skip it!
Movie Preview: Angelina Jolie in Salt
I've been eagerly awaiting the trailer for the Angelina Jolie thriller Salt ever since the gender-bending news was announced that the actress would be replacing Tom Cruise in the title role. Though we already knew it was spy thriller, the trailer reveals new plot details, which reveal the necessity of all those wig changes.
The tense clip with Jolie as Evelyn Salt on the run already looks more compelling than her last action flick, Wanted, and I think the addition of supporting cast like Liev Schreiber could make this a hit.
Denny's Sued For High Sodium Foods
We all know that many fast food chain's menu items are high in the sodium department. Armed with this knowledge, we just avoid eating at these places. Although a New Jersey resident doesn't think it's right, and is taking action against one popular chain, Denny's.

Which Snacks Are the Saltiest?
While small amounts of salt are necessary for the body to function normally, too much sodium in the diet contributes to high blood pressure, so you should do your best to avoid taking in too much. A woman shouldn't exceed more than 2,300 milligrams of sodium a day. You may be thinking you don't need to worry because you never sprinkle salt on your food, but many pre-made foods already contain high amounts of sodium.
Label Able: Nigari
I just reread the label of my favorite mac-n-cheese alternative, the Country Cheddar Bowl by Amy's Kitchen, and happened to catch something on the list of ingredients that I didn't recognize — nigari. In parentheses it says "magnesium chloride, a natural firming agent," but that use of the word "natural" didn't make me feel any better.
I trust food from Amy's Kitchen because it's made with such wholesome ingredients, so nigari can't be bad for me, right?
Angie Gets Back to Work While Brad Plays
Angelina Jolie was back in her all black outfit on the set of Salt in NYC yesterday. On Friday, she was briefly hospitalized after cutting her head while filming, but the actress didn't let it slow down her working weekend. Brad was on the West Coast hamming it up at the Spike TV awards, but Angelina is tough enough to nurse her own wounds by now.
Angelina's Back to Work After Her French Fun
Angelina Jolie returned to the NYC set of Salt Saturday after her fun-filled trip to Cannes. She was decked out for a trip down the red carpet at Wednesday's premiere of Inglourious Basterds, but over the weekend she was in her usual costume and wig once again for filming. Now that she and Brad are home again, they'll be thrilling the locals for as long their family's based on the East Coast.
Do You Cook With Flavored Salts?
Yesterday Party gushed about the flavor of truffles on items such as fries, salad dressings, and pizzas. I'll eat them on anything and I love to add the flavor of truffles to a dish with my beloved truffle salt. Flavored salts are increasingly popular; stores such as NapaStyle carry the crystals infused with rosemary, sun-dried tomato, and citrus to name a few.
5 Saltiest Meals, With a Side Order of Hypertension
Eating out is always a treat, but the problem with eating food someone else makes is that you have no idea how much sodium it's loaded with. 2,300 mg of salt (one teaspoon) is the recommended daily limit for healthy people, but if you have issues with high blood pressure, 1,500 mg is your limit. According to a study by the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), "Unsafe levels of sodium chloride, or salt, in chain restaurant meals increase one's chance of developing hypertension, heart attacks, strokes, and kidney disease."
