So as the milk industry, after a good run with its “Got Milk?” campaign, is ready to launch another campaign–this time for chocolate milk–many parents and school nutritionists are not pleased.

Starting Monday, the “Raise your hand for chocolate milk” campaign begins via an ad in USA Today with  chocolatey brown colors and pointing to a web site that asks people to sign a petition in support of chocolate milk. The gist: Yes, chocolate milk has added sugar, but that added sugar is a good thing when it gets kids to drink nutrient-rich milk instead of nutrient-less sugary drinks.

Mariah Covers UK’s Celebs Sunday

Mariah
The singer with the biggest voice of them all on finding love again, ugly-ing up for her art, stepping into Helen Mirren’s shoes, and that Diva tag

It’s 8:30pm on a humid autumn evening in New York and the traffic’s ground to a halt. The gridlock is worse than usual – apparently President Obama is in town.

So it’s ironic, but I think I’m going to be late for my interview with Mariah Carey, a woman who has a reputation for being rather late herself.

Yes, Mariah is known as the Head Girl of prima donnas – and then some. Even now, as I sit impatiently in my yellow cab, Mariah Carey could be making outrageous demands: the cushions should match her nail varnish; the temperature of her iced tea should be monitored. And what’s that, glinting on the table? It’s a goldfish, wearing a lilac tiara, just like the singer’s own.

That’s the sort of thing I’m expecting. I’d read the stories, but could they really be true?

‘What say you we speed things up?’ the can driver suggests, springing into action with a sharp right turn. I lurch across the seat, but it looks like I’m not going to be late after all. I’ll arrive with a bruised shoulder – but I’ll be on time.

And so is Mariah Carey. That’s my first surprise. In fact, she’s been at the hotel most of the day giving interviews to promote her sultry new album, Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel.
