Now you can keep your kids busy while you’re on the go, so long as you're not expecting any calls.

In the game, kids help Grover manage a restaurant by catching and counting ingredients for nutritious meals. (If you know anything about Grover's career as a waiter, don't order the BIG hamburger.)

Sesame doesn't plan on being a one-app wonder. Upcoming official iPhone/iPod games include "Elmo's Monster Maker" and "Sesame Street 123".

With Sesame aggressively pioneering new platforms -- the Workshop launched a new Facebook presence this month and their first blog earlier this year -- no one should ever have to ask again, "Can you tell me how to get to Sesame Street?" It's already wherever you are.

So, going to see New Moon, I was a card-carrying member of Team Edward. There was no denying my schoolgirl crush on Rob. But beyond that, Edward seemed like the perfect guy for Bella (Kristen Stewart) -- strong, protective and passionate with just the right amount of danger. Team Jacob? No way. I saw Taylor Lautner as an awkward kid, and thought his character was just wasting his time competing with Edward. And that long, unruly hair? Not cute.

I sat down in the theater ready to swoon over my favorite vampire and revel in Bella’s heartache after losing him. Two hours later, I walked into the lobby a changed woman. Edward who? I guess in the year since Twilight's debut I had been focused on Robert the actor, and the romantic, fantastical story of Edward and Bella. But being reunited with Edward's pasty white skin and slow, stilted speech was a harsh reminder that Edward is not Rob.

It seemed the second time around, the New Moon creators were determined to exaggerate everything about the film. With all the hype surrounding the movie, it’s easy to see why they wanted to step it up. But fans are looking for believable characters to do justice to the story they know so well. I’m guessing they are not looking for overly literal translations and unnecessarily long dramatic pauses. For example, we know Edward’s sister Alice (Ashley Greene)  is supposed to be graceful and cat-like, but does she need to catapult herself off a railing and jump down from the staircase at school in her opening scene? Probably not.

Edward’s character exaggerations were even more extreme. Sure, he’s deeply pained, but his constant stink-face was a major turn-off. With each scene his pain worsened, which in turn meant his face got more and more twisty and his breathing turned to heavy panting. And instead of coming off as a loving, concerned boyfriend (albeit vampire), he started to seem more like a stern, overly protective father.

Jacob, on the other hand, was the perfect antidote to Edward's over-the-top drama. He managed to show his emotional pain and passion for Bella but still display his sense of humor and sarcastic wit. His balanced emotions made him seem like a normal guy -- someone who might exist in real life (aside from the whole werewolf thing.) And viewers were often treated to his bright, white smile -- a nice contrast to Edward's constant "I'm about to be sick" grimace.

By the ending credits, my mind was made up -- I was changing teams. I’m still on Team Robert, but my loyalty is now with Team Jacob. After all, a girl's got a right to change her mind.

When Palin resigned from her post as governor of Alaska in July, many people thought she'd disappear from the headlines. But her supporters knew she'd be back -- and stronger than ever. The fact that her book, Going Rogue: An American Life, was an Amazon best-seller before it was even released is proof that she's still able to captivate audiences.

To promote the book, Palin sat down with Oprah Winfrey for a friendly chat on Monday afternoon. The two addressed rumors that Oprah had "snubbed" Sarah by not inviting her on the show during the presidential election, in which Oprah passionately supported Barack Obama. Oprah kept things cordial with the politician, and Palin came out looking like a star. She even helped Lady O achieve her highest ratings in two years.

When the book finally hit stores on Tuesday, readers were given an inside view of what really goes on in the Palin family and we even gleaned 15 family rules the former governor was happy to share.

Love her or hate her, you've got to commend Sarah Palin for her strategic self-promotion. We just might be looking at another maverick in the running in 2012.

Check out the highs and lows of Sarah Palin!

The Village Voice’s Melissa Anderson dismissed Mrs. Tuohy as a "steel Magnolia" and wrote: “But for all the supposed uplift, Bullock's facile Good Christian Materialist Southern Woman is part of The Blind Side's desperate cynicism.” In The New York Times, A. O. Scott chimed in: “Bullock is convincing enough as an energetic, multitasking woman of the New South, who knows her own mind and usually gets her own way,” then sneers a few paragraphs later, “Ms. Bullock’s brisk self-confidence can be appealing -- until it becomes annoying….after a while her display of goodness sinks into vanity.”

But I recognized Leigh Anne immediately. Even though I have my own bias against sports movies and am allergic to “Gipper” speeches, I embraced her character, one that I’ve rarely seen in contemporary movies. Tuohy is a successful heroine with the confidence of a Clint Eastwood lawman, but she has a manicure instead of a Magnum 44.

Leigh Anne is a tornado in a twinset -- and I know American women like her. I see them every day in the pick-up line at school. They’re all around us -- but rarely depicted in the movies. They’re take-charge gals who drive their families like the SUV’s they’ve worked hard to purchase. One of my best friends put her self through a Southern college as a beauty queen. She works hard, manages the commercial properties she owns, drives her children to private school where she’s a class mother and vocal advocate for her kids’ education, throws cocktail parties for 100 for her husband’s business -- and still has time to take her shoes off and ask me what the latest movies are over a glass of wine in her spotless yet comfy living room. She’s always generously entangled in other people’s lives because she cares, deeply, and feels an obligation to do right.

So, I salute Leigh Anne Tuohy, and all the women of the car pool, working challenging jobs, keeping up with their women friends, navigating their children’s educations and their husband’s careers, buying birthday presents and organizing Thanksgiving -- even if it’s just really good take-out in front of the TV. And I salute Bullock who steps into those Nordstrom pumps and takes no prisoners on or off the football field. I recognize that do-right woman, and she’s not just on the screen, she’s here among us.

In real life, Mendes is happily in a long-term relationship with boyfriend George Augusto and has a loyal companion in her dog Hugo. iVillage spoke with Mendes about whether she sees kids in her future, her Thanksgiving plans (bring on the pajamas!) and her love for the New Moon stars.

Did playing a prostitute in Bad Lieutenant make you sympathize with women in that situation?

I've always sympathized with women in that situation. But not only sympathize, because not all prostitutes are victims -- I respect it. I know it's not legal in most parts of the country, but I respect working women and respect their decision. It is the oldest profession in the world.

Was it depressing working on such a dark film?
No, it wasn't tortuous. [Director Werner Herzog] was so fast. It was crazy -- we were done at lunchtime every day. So it wasn't like we were being tortured -- which I've worked like that before on a dark film when you're there for 16 hours a day. It wasn't like that.

Are you worried that your film comes out the same day as New Moon?
Wait a minute ... does it open the same day as New Moon? Really? I didn't know that. Ha, oh my god, we're gonna get killed.

Have you jumped on the Twilight bandwagon yet?
Believe it or not, I actually haven't seen the first Twilight, but I have it. My friend bought it for me because I really want to see it and my friends like it. But I think Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are just the cutest, sexiest things that have come around in a long time. I'm into them.

You’re the face of the new, sexy Calvin Klein campaign. Was it scary posing nude?
No, I work really hard before those photo shoots with. I take care of my body very well and amp the cardio, and I eat well. Then on the shoot I just kind of let go and leave all my inhibitions at the door. And I have Steven Klein shooting me, and my photos are with Jamie Dornan, who's an actor and a model -- he's so beautiful, he makes it so easy.

Do you have men hitting on you all the time, or are they too shy to approach you?

No, I have a very interesting outlook on that. I think women -- all women -- control whether men hitting on them. We all throw out nonverbal cues -- or sometimes verbal cues -- if we're available or not. I am not available, so I throw that out there nonverbally. Men don't want to get rejected, so they don't approach me. And it's so funny because Will Smith, in the movie Hitch that I did with him, he tells my character that I have a "F off" sign on top of my head. And the funny thing is that I've been told that before by guys. If you're making eyes at a guy in a bar, he's going to come up to you. But if you're not even looking in his direction, he's not going to risk that chance of being rejected. That's my theory. So, no, I don't get hit on -- ever.

You've been with your boyfriend for six years. Do you see kids in your future?
To be totally honest, I just don't know. I have a dog, Hugo, who has probably changed my life. I've had him for almost three years now and just caring for something other than myself is very appealing to me. Yet, I certainly don't think me loving my dog means I'm ready to have kids.

Have you ever been starstruck around another celebrity?
I was starstruck once when I met Mick Jagger in an elevator in Paris. I think my heart technically stopped for two seconds. I was riding up with him, and I was thinking, "Okay, do I say something? Am I clever?" Like, I can't say, "I love you." How many times as he heard that? I can't say his music changed my life. How many times has he heard that? So I was, like, going through the gamut of emotions and thoughts of, "Do I go clever or do I go earnest?" And I didn't do much. I said "good night" when he got out. Pretty pathetic.

Do you have a pop-culture guilty pleasure?
I love this show called Girls Behaving Badly. Oh my god, it's so fun. It's all women and they do pranks on people in the streets. See, I don't like [Ashton Kutcher's prank show] Punk'd. I don't like that manipulation, it's almost mean. Punk'd went too far. And I know that they had asked my camp if they could punk me, and my manager would always say, "No, definitely not. She's the wrong person, because she would really be upset." I get so emotionally invested in everything I do, that if I thought I destroyed something like that, I would just lose it. I would just die. But with Girls Behaving Badly it's just so silly. They'll do the silliest stuff. You have to check it out.

Thanksgiving is right around the corner. Do you have any special plans?
I'm just staying home with the family. I'm fortunate to have my family really close to me. Everybody lives in L.A., so we're just getting together. We do something really cute -- Pajama Thanksgiving, so we're all in our pajamas. It's so fun.

Do you have a favorite dish?
We do American Thanksgiving and then my mom makes old-school Cuban food, so all of it is my favorite dish.

What can we say -- iVillage knows women!

Funny People, despite its name, has some pretty emotional scenes. The movie focuses on the life of George (Sandler), a famous comedian who learns, that due to an illness, he only has a short time left to live. George hires Ira (Rogen), an aspiring comedian, to be his joke writer and the two form an odd friendship. Meanwhile, George tells his ex-fiance and love-of-his-life Laura (Mann) about his fate. Though she's married to Clarke (Bana), she decides to be unfaithful and start up an affair with George.

So, yes, while it's an emotional tale, there's also tons of humor, which is only expected of writer-director Judd Apatow (Mann's real-life husband) and stars Sandler and Rogen. Dave Attell, Sarah Silverman, Norm Macdonald, Paul Reiser, Ray Romano, Andy Dick and Eminem all make cameos as well.

And it's not just the movie itself which is hilarious. The DVD is packed with extras, from gag reels to archival footage of Sandler and Apatow to Line-O-Rama, which features the iVillage.com mention.

(I somehow failed to catch My Little Pony: Twinkle Wish Adventures, but the title alone tells me that, to adult eyes, these may have been the longest 60 minutes in television history.)

The last time these ponies galloped on the big screen was over 20 years ago in My Little Pony, The Movie. That "flicka" barely got out of the gate in 1986 before failing at the box office. But it inspired two different television shows -- the fantasy-world set My Little Pony in 1986 and the more real-world set My Little Pony Tales in 1992.

According to Wikipedia, these latter ponies "lived in a human-like town where they went to school, ran businesses, went on vacation and exchanged currency for goods." It was only a matter of time before they started hanging out in bars, giving rides at bat-mitzvahs, knocking over liquor stores, and starring in their own E! True Hollywood Story. But now, like Willie Aames, they're getting a Hollywood-style reprieve.  

I personally know the MLP franchise best as toys. At one time, the economy-sized ponies made perfect "Hanukkah Night Four" presents for my girls. But kids can't lovingly brush the silky mane of a character on a TV screen -- not without getting a major static shock anyway.

As long as the Ponies are getting their Hollywood moment, I suggest they hook up with Barbie, the reigning queen of toy-to-multimedia star crossover. She could show them the ropes, teach them a few makeover tricks, and best of all, they can share hair care tips and products. Can't you just picture them together on QVC?

"When you're told after a really daring move that you were really wrong, you feel really stupid," Kristen Stewart, who plays heroine Bella Swan, tells iVillage about her character. "And that's where we find her in New Moon. She's sort of lost everything that she thought completed her."

In the beginning of the movie, Bella goes through an emotional breakup, but the 19-year-old actress says she wasn't drawing from her own life. "I can't really draw from personal experience," says Kristen, who's been romantically linked to costar Robert Pattinson. Reading Stephenie Meyer's New Moon book was the only inspiration she needed.

"It's written really well," Kristen says. "It's the worst breakup I've ever read -- ever. Instead of a breakup scene, I called it a death scene."

Check out our exclusive video to hear Kristen dish about her onscreen chemistry with Robert and share her thoughts on the "hot" Bella Swan Barbie doll.
