Hamburger Helper is a brand of boxed meal product produced by General Mills and sold under its Betty Crocker brand. It consists of a starch (most often pasta, but also rice or potatoes) and specially measured dried sauce packets separated in a single box. The remaining ingredients must be provided by the consumer. The consumer browns the hamburger meat in a skillet and then adds water, noodles, milk and the seasoning packet(s) to create the complete dish.General Mills also has a Hamburger Helper frozen food line, which features some of the brand's classic varieties in a complete meal kit form, and includes frozen ground beef and frozen sauce packaged separately from the noodles in the same bag.There is as well an "instant" version of Hamburger Helper which contains dehydrated meat, noodles and seasonings in a small pouch — instead of adding meat, milk and water, the consumer only needs to add a small amount of water to a bowl containing the helper pouch contents.In 2005 the American-based Food Network listed Hamburger Helper as number three in its list of the top five fad foods of the 1970s .In 2007, General Mills removed the microwave cooking direction from Hamburger and Tuna Helper for unknown reasons. These directions are still listed at the Hamburger Helper FAQ at BettyCrocker.com

Betty Cabrera needed $5,000 to cover her move, so she posted an ad on Prosper.com asking for a loan, and uploaded a photo of her family "to show that I'm a family person." Soon after her listing went up, complete with her credit rating, the bids rolled in, eBay-style. Perfect strangers made online offers to lend her money.

I don’t know where my head was last night. I completely missed the season premier of Ugly Betty, barely caught Grey’s Anatomy and forgot all about MTV’s Celebrity Rap Superstar, where I have diligently been rooting for our beloved Queen of Gossip, Perez Hilton.Luckily I was able to find the video and watch Perez and his rap mentor, Tone Loc.
