Jamie Oliver and Ryan Seacrest Serving Up Reality Show

TV Dinners: Pushing Daisies — Late Summer Cherry Pie
I was lucky enough to get a sneak preview of ABC's new show "Pushing Daisies," and while it is an amazingly fantastic show, it's also the source of many droolworthy scenes — and I'm not just talking Lee Pace!
