“Benjamin Button Jr.” Victoria is surprised by her daughter's visit (Jennifer Love Hewitt) – but I think we all know she's just a TAD bit jealous of her! Then again, we would all love to be called Benjamin Button, wouldn't we?
“Mom Called” Melanie hears that her mom is visiting. Exciting, right? NOT! Her plan might be that if mom knocks, don’t answer!
“Three Kids” Everyone including Victoria knows she has two kids (I mean, three kids). Who’s counting anyway – ‘cuz they only call when they need something!
“Mothering” Meddling/mothering, it’s the same thing. Just ask Melanie and Victoria what they honestly think about the kids getting engaged! Caution, this could get ugly!
“Slouching” Slouching is not cool. Just ask Joy’s mum. Better yet, don’t slouch while your reading this post and you’ll know how Joy feels!

We're interviewing Hot in Cleveland Costume Designer Lori Eskowitz-Carter each week to get a behind the scenes look at how she styles each of the fabulous Hot in Cleveland ladies. Lori has worked on many movies and TV shows including 'Will and Grace', 'Whitney' and 'Boston Common'. This week the ladies are going out to a bar for their annual “birthdates”. What did you dress them in? Details like that can really make the outfit.
Valerie’s outfit is also very current. You have her in a floral print. A dress like that calls for a very specific kind of bra. Do you buy those for the women as well. Do women often neglect this part of their wardrobe? Do you have any brands you can recommend? What are you working on for next week’s show? - Josephine Josephine Bennett is an award-winning public radio reporter with an extensive cardigan collection.
Which outfits were YOUR favorite on this episode of Hot in Cleveland? Let us know in the comments! Watch an all new episode of Hot in Cleveland Wednesdays 10PM/9C and stay in touch on Facebook for exclusive content, photos and more!

We all need a little Cleveland in our kitchen! Melanie’s Cleveland Kitchen are yummy recipes especially for fans of Hot in Cleveland. Put that cute apron on, cook somethin’ good and settle in with the ladies on Wednesday night (or any night). To make it complete, pair with your favorite Cocktail! Claus, Tails, and High Pitched Males: Birthdates 3 Every year for our birthday, we set each other up on “Birthdates.” To be honest, I’m not really sure why we’re doing it again this year. It’s not like it’s turned out well the other times we’ve done it. I’ve dated a man who wanted to vomit at the sight of me and a guy whose doppelganger is Jesus. Yes, Jesus. And poor Victoria! She went out with a man with bigger breasts than her and conjoined twins (oops, my bad!). So it can’t get worse than that…right? Ingredients ½ cup olive oil 1 tablespoon of lemon juice 1 tsp paprika 1 tsp salt 1/8 tsp garlic powder 1/8 tsp pepper 2 (10 oz) lobster tails
Directions Preheat the grill to high heat. Squeeze the lemon juice into a bowl and slowly add in the olive oil. Whisk in the pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and salt. Split the lobster tails with a large knife, lengthwise and brush the tail with the marinade. Lightly oil the grill grate. Place the tails, flesh-side down, on the grill. Cook for 10-12 minutes, turning once and baste them with the marinade frequently. Watch Hot in Cleveland Wednesdays 10PM/9C on TV Land! “MURPHY BROWN” to Receive Impact Award at the TV Land Awards

The cast and show creator behind the cutting-edge and witty CBS series, “Murphy Brown” – Candice Bergen, Faith Ford, Joe Regalbuto, Charles Kimbrough, Grant Shaud and Diane English – will be honored with the Impact Award at the TV Land Awards 10th Anniversary celebration, taping Saturday, April 14 at the Lexington Avenue Armory at Gramercy Park in New York City. Previously announced honorees include “In Living Color” (which now includes former Fly Girl Carrie Ann Inaba), “Laverne & Shirley,” “One Day At A Time,” “Pee-wee’s Playhouse” and Aretha Franklin. The “TV Land Awards” 10th Anniversary will air on Sunday, April 29 at 9PM/8C! Additionally, TV Land announced presenters for the show, including esteemed journalist and news anchor Katie Couric and actress Fran Drescher, who will be on hand to pay homage to some of television and music’s biggest stars. More presenters will be announced in the coming days. In addition, three-time GRAMMY® Award-nominated music group The B-52s will set the mood for the evening, rocking out as the house band for the 10th anniversary show. “Murphy Brown,” the recipient of this year’s Impact Award, infused hot topic current events and shined a light on real-life career and personal issues. The revolutionary show starred Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning actress Candice Bergen as title character Murphy Brown, a reporter for successful primetime news show “FYI.” With the help of her friends and co-workers – Frank Fontana (Joe Regalbuto), Corky Sherwood (Faith Ford), Jim Dial (Charles Kimbrough) and Miles Silverberg (Grant Shaud) – Murphy was a star journalist who truly had it all, even becoming a single mother later in the series. The show created some of the most memorable episodes with help from guest stars and fellow “TV Land Awards” honorees and presenters Aretha Franklin and Katie Couric. “Murphy Brown” aired on CBS from 1988 to 1998. The TV Land Awards pays tribute to classic and contemporary luminaries of television, music and movies. The 90-minute telecast hosted by Kelly Ripa will feature exhilarating musical performances and will reunite some of the most iconic celebrity TV casts.

Why do you have a secret admiration for Lucille Ball? My admiration for Lucille Ball was not a secret. She was a lovely lady and was incredibly kind to me when I appeared on her show. She even sewed on my costume to make it more attractive. I'll never forget her. Not many stars would have bothered to help a young unknown actress. Why is the phrase “rise above it” so important to you? Rise above it has always been a constant thought for me because my mother always said it to me when I perceived that I had a problem. If I am able to take a few breaths and detach myself from whatever is upsetting me then I see it more clearly and I can deal with it in a rational way. What was so special about the legendary Hollywood Studio Club? The Hollywood Studio Club was a huge support to starting actresses. The rent was very low, we had two meals a day and your messages were taken for you. Your agent could always get hold of you for interviews because of their wonderful phone service. It was also very safe. The doors were locked at midnight and it was a rule that you always gave them your whereabouts if you weren't coming home at night. How does one “make it” in Hollywood? The only way a person is successful in any business is to acquire the tools and skills you need to do the job. That and a lot of hard work will "make it" in Hollywood.

Joy Scroggs: “Slightly Inappropriate” How would you describe Joy Scroggs? She seems to take the most chances with fashion. Lori: She definitely does. I feel like she’s the most fashion forward and slightly inappropriate, but not in a vulgar way. She’s the one taking the most fashion risks, wearing bright colors and very interesting pieces.
When a woman gets to a certain point there’s a fine line between looking fashionable and looking inappropriate. How to you balance that? Lori: I think that Jane has the most beautiful legs you’ve ever seen makes it work. She wears a lot of shorts. People want to see those legs. Her body is amazing. She has beautiful shoulders. I dress her in really skimpy things but I think it works. Her character is looking for a man so she kind of puts herself out there. She takes risks.
Does Jane’s personal style align at all with her characters style? Lori: No, absolutely not. Jane lives in Malibu and is the mom of two young kids. She dresses in beautiful, classic clothes. She can put on a great pair of jeans and a t-shirt and look like a million bucks. On the show I always have her in high heels. It’s kind of her thing. But, in real life she only wears flats and so does Wendie. Wendie actually fights me a little bit on wearing the high heels. But, she and Jane are about the same height in real life so it’s kind of nice that Wendie wears a kitten heel in the show. It’s visually interesting because all of the women are different heights.
Where do you shop for Jane’s clothes? Lori: For Jane we go much more, “boutique”. She wears tons of clothes from Planet Blue which is a great store. She wears a lot of clothes from intermix. She wears a ton of Alice and Olivia. She’s definitely not a department store gal.
What are the challenges of dressing her character and what’s easy? Lori: There are no body problems which is usually part of my job when dressing actresses. Anything she puts on looks great. She’s very, very tall so I have to be careful that things aren’t too high waisted.
Which of her outfits attract the most comments? Lori: It’s got to be her shorts and high heels. Trends play a huge part in Jane’s clothing. She can also pull off the skinny jeans which she wears with those cute booties, those little ankle boots. It’s a great look for her.

We all need a little Cleveland in our kitchen! Melanie’s Cleveland Kitchen are yummy recipes especially for fans of Hot in Cleveland. Put that cute apron on, cook somethin’ good and settle in with the ladies on Wednesday night (or any night). To make it complete, pair with your favorite Cocktail! Elka’s been on a bit of a vampire kick lately. She’s been reading every book about them, and watching every movie and TV show starring them. Naturally, she’s demanded all her food to be red. It gets difficult cooking and eating only red foods after a while. Hot dogs? No thanks. Cabbage? Too bland. Pomegranates? Way too hard to open. Blood pudding? Really, really gross. Red Velvet Cake? AMAZING! But wayyyyy too many calories. So today, when I had a hankering for some hummus, I decided to please both Elka and I by adding a few beets to my hummus recipe to give it a bright red color!
Ingredients 2 very large beets 2 tablespoons of tahini 2 cups chickpeas 2 medium cloves are garlic 1 small lemon 1 tsp sea salt Pita Bread Cucumber Slices Pepper strips
Directions Peel and chop the beats into medium sized cubes. Put them into a saucepan with just enough water to cover the cubes, and simmer until softened. Drain the water, and combine the beets, chickpeas, tahini, garlic, lemon, and salt in a food processor and blend until your desired consistency. Serve with pieces of pita, cucumber slices, pepper strips, or anything else you want to scoop delicious hummus on top of! Do not serve in daylight.
