“I think the most significant shift for me was I used to feel guilty,” Bialik told PETA. “Even as a child, I felt very guilty about eating animals and never knew that there was something to do about it. And as I got older, it became clearer that there are things that I can do and choices I can make.”

Becoming vegan was a natural decision for Bialik, one that she says has changed her life for the better.

The actor will play Mrs. Wolowitz’s dentist boyfriend, Dr. Schneider. And even though Howard’s mom (voiced by Carol Ann Susi) famously remains offscreen, she won’t be able to keep her nascent relationship under wraps from her son. Rather, he finds out that his dentist is playing doctor with Ma! in an amusing way. But how will he take the news? Read more at the link below.

Nayyar, 30, met the former Miss India, 28, in New Delhi three years ago. “She unlocked something in me that I had never felt before,” the actor tells PEOPLE.

The weeklong festivities, which Nayyar called “quite hectic,” included an exchange of vows, a garland ritual and henna tattoos.

When Nayyar and Kapur first saw each other at the ceremony, they adorned each other with handmade garlands.

At the actual wedding ceremony, Nayyar held a cup with a white lotus flower. “I dipped the flower in purified water and then threw it into the fire,” he says.

And during the Mehndi portion of the wedding, thrown by Kapur’s family, “All of the women get henna and all the men drink Bloody Marys,” says Nayyar. “The men feed the women, because they have to wait for the henna to dry.”

The newlyweds later enjoyed unwinding after “six days of partying.”

That’s when Jim revealed he already has joined … in secret!

“I have an account,” Jim said, “[but] it’s not under my name. It’s under a pseudonym. I just follow .. a few sports things, a few political things, few news things.”

Jim said that he joined the social networking platform since it’s the most impressive news aggregation on the market and not so he could learn the minutiae of everyone’s life. “That’s the problem I have with Twitter. If I like my ham sandwich, that’s my business,” he laughed.

He also added that while he’s not an active Tweeter, he has sent a couple of messages to prominent figures. “I Tweeted to two sports figures, Houston Texans, who put up a hell of an effort in a losing battle but I didn’t want them to feel discouraged and leave the sport. It’s not important that [they know] it’s from me, I just want them to know somebody cares.”

Meanwhile, with the Big Bang Theory wedding coming up, you have to wonder if they’ll have a scene where Howard’s mother meets Bernadette’s family. There’s no one quite like Howard’s mother, and that should be an experience for anyone who meets her for the first time—especially the future in-laws.

— source Gather

A casting call for The Big Bang Theory has suggested that Howard (Simon Helberg) and Bernadette (Melissa Rauch) will go through with their wedding this season. 

The on-screen couple will reconsider tying the knot in coming episodes when Wolowitz’s rescheduled NASA mission clashes with their big day. 

However, TV Line reports that an actor is currently being sought to play “an overworked clerk at a wedding chapel” – seemingly confirming that there will be a ceremony. 

It has also been announced that Justified and Las Vegas star Casey Sander will appear as Bernadette’s father in season five’s penultimate episode ‘The Launch Acceleration’. 

Speculation has arisen that the character’s role in the May 3 installment will be to convince Howard and Bernadette to go through with their wedding.

You practice attachment parenting, and even wrote a book (to be released by Simon & Schuster in March 2012) called “Beyond the Sling.” Can you talk a bit about your parenting style and the book?

Our parenting style relies heavily on intuitive knowledge that all mammals are born with: stay close to your baby as much as possible, sleep near them, breastfeed them as if there is no other option, carry them close to your body, and don’t force them to sleep when you want them to sleep or eat when you want them to eat. We believe in honoring the human body and its ability to birth naturally and produce milk, and we believe in not viewing a baby as a manipulator or a clingy dependent being that needs to be made independent as soon as possible. Healthy dependence leads to healthy independence in time. The book includes introductions to human hormones of attachment, birth, breastfeeding, and early bonding, but it basically opens up our home to readers by showing what these principles look like in action. I don’t sugarcoat anything; it’s exhausting to be any kind of parent, and I don’t presume to know how you should parent; I simply share what works for us and how you can implement even parts of an intuitive style to make your life easier and your kids hopefully confident and secure and loved.

People always seem shocked that your two young children don’t watch television, but the studies appear to be on your side. What kinds of activities do your kids do instead of watching TV and movies?

This is a funny question but a great one! The times that I could most likely see plopping them down in front of a television become times when they play with toys that have longevity: lots of LEGO, trucks and cars, and a fantastic wooden kitchen, washing machine, and fridge, complete with wooden fruits and vegetables and a set of small-sized dishes and silverware. We read books together, and they help us cook sometimes. We like to put on records from my youth and they dance in the living room (sometimes I join in!) or they lead each other (and me and my husband if hard-pressed) in “marches” around the house to music with their collection of instruments. Once you know TV is not an option, you simply find other stuff they play with. And as I said, toys that take a while to play with are best!

You lead a minimalist lifestyle, which I’m sure helps you and your family to leave a small footprint on the planet. What are some of the ways your minimalist philosophies help the environment during day to day life?

Well, eliminating paper towels is something that I never thought I would do but I did it! A few packs of simple cloth washcloths (and cloth diapers that have been sterilized) do all of our cleaning up. It’s a significant reduction in waste. We are vegan, which may not make a huge impact from just us, but the fact that so much of our world’s resources go to housing and feeding animals makes us happy to not be a part of that even in a small way. Elimination Communication (a method of learning a baby’s potty cues, thus reducing the need for diapers!) was a fantastic illustration for me of how much money and landfill space you save by not relying on disposable or cloth diapers! And teaching our boys that we don’t buy every single thing they ask for teaches them (and reminds us!) to simply consume less!!

When and why did you go vegan?

I was vegetarian from age 19 until I got pregnant with my first son in 2005. He was allergic to dairy in my breastmilk so I cut it out. After Fred was born, I read “Eating Animals” by Jonathan Safran Foer and it convinced me that it was worth it to go ‘all the way,’ and so I eliminated eggs and all trace dairy (like in baked goods and my beloved candy bars I indulged in from time to time). My love for animals since childhood feels complete now that I am vegan, and it feels really right for every reason: health, ethical, environmental…It is an amazing lifestyle and I find it easy and inexpensive. Our boys eat a variety of foods that many kids have never heard of, and they also get sweets and fun foods in their lives, too. We make it work because it matters to us to do it, even if it’s sometimes challenging.

What’s your favorite vegan meal to eat at home with your family?

Well, it’s a Mexican-style casserole that I can hide a lot of vegetables in…It’s from one of navah Atlas’ cookbooks and it’s got cheese (we use Daiya vegan cheese) and beans and it’s layered and cuts nicely and the kids love it. Don’t tell them, but I put a ton of diced kale in the last batch I made and no one even noticed!

Speaking of all things vegan, your character on The Big Bang Theory, Amy Farrah Fowler, is a neurobiologist who is pro-animal testing. How do you, the vegan neuroscientist, feel about animal testing?

I chose to pursue research as an undergraduate and graduate student that did not use animals in any way. It severely limited my choices, but, again, it’s worth it to me. I know that animal research is considered critical to many scientists, and I guess this is one of the reasons I am happy to now be an actor and not a scientist; it’s not an issue I have to confront in my lab.

From child actor to neuroscientist to mother to writer and to actor again. You seem to have a really balanced life and have been able to follow your many passions. Do you ever struggle giving each passion the time it deserves?

Yes. All the time. Every day. My kids need to be the #1 priority. But sometimes I need to be reminded to get off the computer when I am catching up on emails at home…My social life has suffered the most with all that I do, but something had to give and that’s what sort of fell by the wayside. I have very close friends in our homeschool community and I am grateful we see each other while the kids play. But beyond that, I don’t get as much sleep as I’d like, and I don’t have girls nights out, and I don’t really do stuff for me…that’s my “secret!”

I recently read your blog on W Magazine’s disturbing hyper-sexual images of a model shown as an arrested protester. It seems we are being bombarded with more and more images of sexualized violence towards women in media. As an actress, you have played very strong and smart female characters. Have you found it difficult to navigate through the sometimes troubling ways women are portrayed in the entertainment world?

As a feminist who was educated about feminism from my mother, from Ms. Magazine, and from some amazing professors at UCLA, I am consistently astounded at what our society views as acceptable. I struggle with it personally and am confronted with it all the time. I have learned when to speak up and when to not; you have to pick your battles I guess. By choosing to dress modestly, I feel that is my own kind of statement, so that’s something I think about literally every day. The sexualization of girls and teenagers on TV and in movies should astound us. I’m not a fuddy duddy; I have traditional values, yes; but this is not about traditional values; it’s about how much we allow our young girls and women to be objectified and how early we encourage that to happen. Don’t get me started!!!

Whether it’s helping people, animals or the environment, can you give our Ecorazzi readers one of your favorite ways to make the world a better place?

Wow…Great question. Hands-on charity work. For kids, examples are: teaching them in age-appropriate ways about why some families become homeless, or about runaway teens, or about beach clean-up, and then finding ways for them to work towards helping…collecting clothes or toys and donating them IN PERSON to shelters (we took our son at age 4 to donate old baby things to a teen mom shelter and he helped unload the car, etc), or picking up trash at the beach. It does make a difference.

For teens, make them do something. I worked the kitchen at a senior citizen’s center in my Blossom years every Saturday morning. Talk about humbling. It was fantastic. Teenagers should “have to” do something like this I think. It’s part of their education about the world.

For adults, it’s never too late to start making a small difference in the world. Our money can help small charities start up. And we can lead by example and show that writing checks is not the only way adults make a difference: we too can clean up the beach, donate clothes or office supplies to shelters, and volunteer at senior citizen’s centers. Teach that one person can change the world because it’s true.

The buyer is actor Simon Helberg of ”The Big Bang Theory.”

The restored 4,179-square-foot villa has four bedrooms and 41/2 bathrooms. A fountain stands in the tiled front courtyard of the Mediterranean-style home, built in 1927. Inside, the dramatic two-story entry has wood floors and a vaulted ceiling. The step-down living room features a fireplace and wood-beamed ceiling.

An eat-in kitchen, with stone floors and a center island, overlooks courtyards and the backyard, which has a swimming pool. A sweeping staircase leads to the master bedroom wing, the other bedrooms, an upstairs family room and outdoor terraces.

Mueller, 34, co-starred this year in the Paris Hilton reality show “The World According to Paris.” She was on “Entertainment Tonight” in 2008 and 2009.

Sheen, 46, had starred on the sitcom ”Two and a Half Men”since its 2003 launch, earning a reported $1.8 million per episode in 2010. He was fired earlier this year. His television and film credits include “Spin City” (2000-02) and “Wall Street” (1987).

Helberg, who recently sold a home in Los Angeles, is one of the five central characters in the ensemble comedy ”The Big Bang Theory,” which started in 2007. The 30-year-old starred in “Derek and Simon: The Show” (2007).

Public records show the property was purchased for $2.575 million in 2007, before Mueller and Sheen’s 2008 marriage. After the birth of twin sons in 2009, they listed the house at $3.697 million. Weeks or months may pass before sale prices appear in public records.

“Harvey” became a classic when James Stewart starred in a 1950 movie version of the show. Various film versions have been made since. It was rumored Hollywood was looking to remake it again however it looks like Broadway will get the next version of “Harvey.”

Jim Parsons is an award winning actor best known for his television role in “The Big Bang Theory.” On that show he won two Emmy Awards and a Golden Globe Award. He also won a Television Critics Award for that show. Parsons has also appeared in film and on off Broadway productions.

The actor could add a successful Broadway run if negotiations go well. Mary Chase won the Pulitzer Award in 1945 for “Harvey” and it has enjoyed runs on Broadway, television and movies. “Harvey” could be mew success on Broadway with the popular Jim Parsons in a starring role.

Galecki, 36, talked to Parade.com about his new role, bonding with co-star Justin Timberlake, and Big Bang Theory‘s upcoming 100th episode milestone.

On his latest film, In Time.
“I just thought it was so intelligent and clever. I went in to some meetings with [director] Andrew Niccol to talk about the character, and I said, ‘Why don’t you let me read it?’ I’m never really opposed to auditioning; in fact, I’m more comfortable with it. I probably shouldn’t say this because I’ll be kicking myself later, but you don’t hire a guy to paint your house by sitting down and having coffee with him, you want to see what kind of work he does.”

On stretching his dramatic acting chops.
“That was definitely a draw to this role. I love playing Leonard, but if you have an opportunity to do something different, you jump at it. I was actually doing the movie at night and the TV show during the day and sleeping in my dressing room at Warner Bros. for a couple hours in between. I want to mix it up creatively.”

On co-star Justin Timberlake.
“He’s a perfectionist. I was really impressed. He has a great instinct, whether he’s on or off camera. I’ve never seen someone who had such success in another area of entertainment be so willing to work as hard as he does. He doesn’t rest on any of those laurels. He knows that performing at Madison Square Garden doesn’t necessarily mean you’re going to be a great actor in an action film.”

On breaking the ice with JT.
“The first scene we were going to shoot together was the goodbye scene, so I went to set a couple days before just to kind of pal around with Justin a little bit. I didn’t want to shake his hand and then start a very emotional goodbye scene between us. The bar scene was fun too because we ran off to a nearby shooting gallery on our break. He is a far superior shot than I am. I don’t think the producers were necessarily thrilled about that, but you gotta blow off some steam somehow!”

On his early acting ambitions.
“I started talking about it when I was literally three-years-old. It’s almost creepy. I have no idea how I even knew what the word ‘actor’ meant. My parents tried to dissuade me, but there was a local community theater doing auditions for a production of Fiddler on the Roof that we read about it in the paper. I auditioned and got the role. I was just a kid in the chorus, but that was the beginning.”

On his passion for live sitcoms.
“It’s theater, really. That’s how we approach it. Our goal is to make these 22-minute plays every week. If it wasn’t for that live audience, I wouldn’t be half as happy and creatively satisfied as I am. That’s really the pot of the gold at the end of every workweek. I can be in some foul mood, but I hear that audience come in and I think how lucky I am. I get to go out there and try to make a few hundred people laugh. That’ll make anybody’s day!”

On his love for Leonard.
“Initially, I loved playing his frustration with his life. In the last season, I’m really enjoying his growth and his maturing. It’s happening at a snail’s pace, but that’s fun to mine. We’re approaching our 100th episode, and I’m trying to wrap my head around that. It’s just crazy, but I love working. I’m always happiest when I’m working.”

On being a poster boy for brainiacs. 
“It’s funny, I did not foresee that. These characters are so relatable apparently. I can’t tell you how often I hear, ‘My 12-year-old is just like your character,’ or ‘My great grandfather is just like your character.’ It doesn’t have any boundaries in age or geography. It really is very wide-reaching and that’s just a testament to the writers more than the performances.”

On his takeaway from his years on Roseanne.
“Just how much I learned from each of them. I started during their third season, so the cast bonding had already taken place, but it was really priceless to have those examples. Rose and John Goodman — you couldn’t have asked for a better college.”

If you’re not a fan of the CBS show Big Bang Theory, this probably doesn’t mean much to you, aside from being a really adorable plush kitty. If you are fan, it means that one of the most beloved moments in the show is now immortalized in huggable form. The Big Bang Theory Soft Kitty Singing Plush sings Sheldon’s lullaby from the show, with the entrancing lyrics, “Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur. Happy kitty, sleepy kitty, purr, purr, purr.” Squeeze the kitty’s paw, and anyone around will be serenaded by the reigning geek lullaby. It’s also 10” long, so it’ll be good company when you’re feeling under the weather. Just make sure not to get your smelly Vix hands on it.

You can buy the plush separately, or with the T-shirt that came out earlier this year. The T-shirt is available in both men’s and women’s styles. The plush and the T-shirt cost about $45, while the plush toy alone is $30. With a face like this, how could you resist?

Kaley Cuoco of the Emmy-nominated uber-geek comedy “The Big Bang Theory” will host the 2012 People’s Choice Awards, the organization announced Thursday.

Which pretty much means Cuoco is landing more hosting gigs than her “Big Bang” alter-ego is landing hemorrhoid commercials.

“We are thrilled to welcome Kaley as the new host of the People’s Choice Awards,” executive producer Mark Burnett said in a statement. “She’s been making people laugh on top-rated comedy series for the last decade…. I’m looking forward to working with her on a fun-filled, comedy-packed show in January.”

Cuoco hosted the Teen Choice Awards last August, where she competed for the spotlight with teens more interested in flailing their arms in front of the cameras than answering her loaded questions about the debt ceiling. But how else is a girl to prove that teens are smarter than we think? She may be better suited for the slightly older crowd drawn in by the People’s Choice Awards.

She plays funny-girl-next-door Penny on the top-rated CBS comedy, which won the 2010 People’s Choice Award for comedy series. The 25-year-old actress also starred in the final season of syndicated supernatural drama “Charmed” and the now-defunct series “8 Simple Rules,” the favorite new TV comedy award winner in 2003.

She’ll next appear in the independent feature film “The Last Ride” with Jesse James and the Lifetime television movie “Untouchable: The Drew Peterson Story” with Rob Lowe.

The 2012 People’s Choice Awards, in which fans determine the nominees and winners in 41 music, movies and television categories, will air Jan. 11 on CBS.

Simon Helberg, one of the five central characters in the ensemble comedy “The Big Bang Theory,” has listed his Los Angeles home at $849,000.

The restored two-story Craftsman, built in 1910, is entered through a deep-set front porch with a swing. Period features include leaded windows, built-in cabinetry and wood floors and trim. The main house contains a fireplace, a den, five bedrooms and two bathrooms. Guest space above the detached garage has a kitchenette and a bathroom. An additional office with a bathroom sits next to the garage.

The comic actor, 30, plays fashion-challenged and self-deluded “ladies man” Howard Wolowitz on the sitcom, which started in 2007. He starred in “Derek and Simon: The Show” (2007).

Elisa Gil-Osorio of Nourmand & Associates in Beverly Hills is the listing agent.

The Big Bang Theory’s Kaley Cuoco is engaged! A rep for the actress confirmed the great news toPeople. Kaley is set to wed boyfriend and addiction specialist Josh ‘Lazie’ Resnik.

According to the rep, “The surprise proposal took place during a quiet date night at home. The couple are very excited to begin their wedding planning.”

The couple look like such a great pair and he even resembles Kaley’s past boyfriend and co-star Johnny Galecki. She admitted in 2010 that the two had been dating secretly for two years but the relationship eventually ran its course. At the time she stated, “We were so protective of ourselves and the show and didn’t want anything to ruin that. But that also made it sad, too. That’s not the kind of relationship I want–I don’t want to be hiding.”

Who knows if the two gave it a go again after announcing the split, but its clear Kaley moved on and is ready to settle down with Resnik.

Congrats to the happy couple!

Howard: I thought you didn’t like facebook anymore?

Penny: Look Sheldon, all I’m saying is strap on a pair and go talk to Amy.

- 503: THE PULLED GROIN EXTRAPOLATION

For several seasons, Sheldon Cooper has hated Will Wheaton, the actor behind Star Trek’s Wesley Crusher. But will Sheldon put his hatred aside for the chance of a lifetime?

TVGuide.com revealed that a mini Star Trek: The Next Generation reunion will occur on the October 13 episode of The Big Bang Theory. During the episode, Wheaton offers Cooper the chance to meet fellow Star Trek star Brent Spiner, the man behind Commander Data. While there were a number of characters show creators could have chose from, exec producer Bill Prady felt Cooper connected best to Commander Data. After all, both are socially awkward to the point of amusement and neither can express emotions in a normal way. 

Prady promises an amusing episode that Star Trek fans and Big Bang fans will enjoy. Hell, even the people who aren’t attached ot either show will love it just because The Big Bang Theory is hilarious!

Will Sheldon accept Wheaton’s invitation, or will he stick to his stubbheory, orn ways.

As the theme song to TV’s No. 1 comedy goes, it all started with a big bang. And then in the third season, the writers decided to add a new breed of nerds to the group—this time, bringing in the ladies.  The Big Bang Theory had already rocketed in the ratings when it moved to Thursday nights last fall. Around the same time, the sitcom introduced two brainy new characters, and in just a single season Bernadette Rostenkowski (Melissa Rauch) and Amy Farrah Fowler (Mayim Bialik) have become regular characters and integral parts of the Big Bangformula.

“It was wonderful adding Melissa and Mayim,” says Jim Parsons, who plays persnickety Ph.D. Sheldon Cooper. “They’re strong actors who fit perfectly into the tone of the show. Their characters have opened up new roads for full stories to be formed around them.”

For one, Penny (Kaley Cuoco) now has “a circle of girls she can hang out with, so it makes it easier for us to have new storylines,” says Big Bang executive producer Steven Molaro. “Our little world has grown in a great way, and we’re thrilled to have so many new options.”

Pleased to congratulate the Cast & Crew of The Big Bang Theory for their Emmy nominations this year!

1. Outstanding Comedy Series – The Big Bang Theory
2. Outstanding Actor in a Comedy – Jim Parsons
3. Outstanding Actor in a Comedy – Johnny Galecki

On this season of “The Big Bang Theory,” we had the opportunity more than ever before to see Mayim Bialik get to know all of the cast as her character of scientist Amy. The former “Blossom” star does bring a different sort of energy to the cast — she is the only actor to actually be a scientist in real life, and she actually has some sort innate understanding about some of her material even while reading the scripts for the first time.

However, Mayim is also quick to dish out compliments when it comes to the people who work on this hit CBS show behind the scenes:

“I don’t think I’ve met a smarter group of people who hang out together, possibly ever, even in graduate school, than our writers and producers.”

Mayim has yet to start filming this coming season, and there is one event that she is looking forward to first and that is her first-ever trip with the cast to Comic-Con in San Diego:

“I’m a pretty quiet person. I think it’s going to be a lot of people. But I think it will be fun. I’m glad to be able to go with the cast. I’m friendly with the people that I work with, which is nice, so we get to do it together.”

The Big Bang Theory actress is on to something when she calls out the ubiquity of Slave Leia costumes at Star Wars conventions. Cosplayers and Comic-Con attendees, listen up: There are plenty more ladies with perfectly hewn braids to imitate.

If you pack an extra tanktop and pair of shorts, you can turn your Slave Leia getup into a Lara Croft costume — and you can keep the braid. Star Wars geeks are most persnickety about hairstyling, of course.

Amtrak’s Pacific Surfliner makes the 128-mile journey from Los Angeles to San Diego in two hours and 45 minutes. Pulled by a mighty Electro-Motive diesel engine, the train heads south on tracks laid in 1888 by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway. Fifty-one weeks a year, the train takes vacationers south to Sea World or north to Universal Studios. For one weekend in July, though, boarding the Pacific Surfliner is as close as you can come to climbing into the Hogwarts Express at Kings Cross Platform 9¾…

Canadian rockers the Barenaked Ladies have filmed a music video for “The History of Everything,” their theme song for CBS’ hit sitcom “The Big Bang Theory.”

Posted after the break, the video features the band sneaking onto the set of the show and performing an expanded version of the bouncy theme for the cast and crew. They even sit in Sheldon’s spot on the couch!

In an interview last fall, BNL frontman Ed Robertson shared with me the story of how show creators Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady approached him to pen the theme:

“They said, ‘Well, you’re the only one we’ve asked. We really want you to do this.’ And I said, ‘Well, that’s great because I can give you what you’re looking for if you can tell me what you want,’” he said. “So it was a great relationship right from the start.”

The extended version of “The History of Everything” has now become a popular part of BNL’s live shows.

“We played it one night just kind of on a lark, and people went nuts. It’s one of the hits in the set now,” he said with a laugh.

So, now I am fully dedicated to start updating again! Unfortunately I’m gonna be pretty busy I can see being that today is COMIC CON! Yikes!
