MTV.com-Let’s face it, Jessica Alba is known for her sexy factor. No matter what role she’s in, be it a superhero (”Fantastic Four”), a pharmaceutical sales rep (in the upcoming “Little Fockers”) or an immigration officer (this week’s “Machete”), Alba’s addition to any cast turns up its heat.

Such is even the case with Robert Rodriguez’s “Spy Kids 4: All the Time in the World.” When MTV News caught up with the actress and her director at the L.A. premiere of “Machete” earlier this week, we asked them how her casting came to be.

Mirror.co.uk-Lindsay Lohan has called time on her party animal lifestyle – and called in Britney Spears’ team to help restore her image as Hollywood’s sweetheart.

With this in mind the reformed Mean Girls star has turned down offers of up to $150,000 simply to turn up at nightclubs.

Instead, Lindsay, 24, has been out and about masterminding her comeback with the help of a team of experts headed by Lou Taylor, the hardcore Nashville businesswoman who guided Britney’s career back from the brink.

Back to the Grind

To make this burger, the meats, suet, and marrow must be ground. There are three different ways to do this:
  • 1. Have the butcher grind the meats. Ask your butcher to cut all trimmed meats into 3/4-inch pieces, chop the suet and marrow, and grind everything into 1/16-inch pieces.
  • 2. Use a meat grinder. (Click for our slideshow on how to use it.)
  • 3. Use a food processor. Cut all trimmed meats into 1/4-inch pieces. Chop the suet and marrow. Freeze until partially frozen. Working in batches and using on/off turns, grind into 1/16-inch pieces.

Tailgate Recipe of the Day: Texas Hold-Um Chipotle Mini Burgers

Tailgate Burgers- The Burger Boy

Foodnetwork.com-

2 pounds ground sirloin

1 medium onion, peeled and cut in 1/2

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, eyeball it

2 chipotles in adobo and 2 tablespoons of adobo sauce

2 tablespoons grill seasoning, a couple of palm fulls, (recommended: Montreal Steak Seasoning by McCormick)

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus some for drizzling

3 cloves garlic, finely chopped

3 tablespoons brown sugar

1/4 cup vinegar

1 (15-ounce) can crushed fire roasted tomatoes, about 2 cups

Salt and pepper

12 slices, 1/2-inch thick, brick-cut smoked Cheddar or sharp Cheddar, (recommended: Cabot), optional

12 small round rolls, split

(Many markets sell mini Keiser rolls or use dinner rolls in any flavor you like)

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat grill pan to high.

Place the meat in a bowl. Cut the onion in half. Grate half the onion into the meat using the small grate on a box grater. Chop and reserve the other half onion. Add Worcestershire, chipotles and sauce and grill seasoning to burgers. Drizzle a little extra-virgin olive oil over the bowl and mix meat. Score the meat into 4 sections. Make 3 mini-burgers, each 3 inches wide, 1-inch thick, from each half-pound of meat.

Heat a small sauce pot over medium heat. Add extra-virgin olive oil and garlic. Cook garlic 2 to 3 minutes then add sugar and vinegar, cook 2 minutes more and stir in tomatoes. Season sauce with salt and pepper and allow it to reduce 5 to 6 minutes more.

Grill meat 2 to 3 minutes on each side and top with cheese, if you like.

Place burgers on buns and top with raw chopped onions and warm fire roasted ketchup and serve.

Our latest babe, Jessica Barton, exhibits all of these qualities. She’s the ultimate “just one of the guys” kind of gal. She loves cars, video games, tattoos, and is approachable. What’s more is that she has a twin sister… Guys, is this the stuff that dreams are made of or what?
