Dean McDermott: Tori Spelling Is Recovering From Hibachi Burns
Better after Benihana. Dean McDermott said his wife Tori Spelling is recovering from severe burns after falling on a steaming hibachi grill at a Benihana Teppanyaki restaurant in the L.A. area on Easter Sunday.
"She’s recovering, doing pretty good," McDermott told Extra while promoting his new book in NYC on Wednesday, April 29. "At home resting, she’s not here in New York with me."

Spelling's burns on her right arm were so severe that she had get skin grafts, according to her husband. McDermott told the New York Daily News in a recent interview that he and Spelling "don't know" whether they will press charges against the popular restaurant chain.

One thing that is certain? Their "awesome" marriage, and commitment to their four kids, Liam, 8, Stella, 6, Hattie, 3, and Finn, 2.
"Tragedy and going through bad things — sometimes it can really help and it really did [with us]," McDermott noted of his 2013 cheating scandal. After Us Weekly broke the news that McDermott had cheated on his wife with a woman named Emily Goodhand in December 2013, he checked into rehab. The emotional and volatile aftermath — in which the couple questioned their marriage — was chronicled on the couple's reality show True Tori last summer.

"It really made us look at what was going on with our relationship,” McDermott, 48, told Extra. "We took a lot of great stuff away from a horrible, horrible experience and our relationship is solid. What we went through publicly, I learned a lot, I wouldn’t do it again. At the end of the day we’re together, we’re happy and we’re working on our relationship and we have a beautiful family and a beautiful life, it all worked out in the end."

These days, the former Chopped Canada host has a new cookbook coming out. He's also celebrating his sobriety. "A year, four months, and fifteen days," he proudly noted. "It feels great, I’ve been in and out of 12 step programs before over the years, this time I’m really getting it. Really, really getting it and it saved my life, it really did and I’m so grateful for it."

BUSINESS: Donn Rubin | President & CEO, BioSTL
An environment for innovation doesn’t just happen: It requires deliberate strategies. For 14 years, BioSTL has quietly worked to put these ideas into place. An emphasis of the organization’s work, according to Donn Rubin, is turning ideas into companies. So far, its BioGenerator investment arm has created and supported 53 startups that have raised a collective $190 million.
But it doesn’t stop there: Startups need capital, so BioSTL works to recruit venture capitalists and set up investment funds. Startups also need physical facilities, which BioSTL helps provide in the Cortex district and at BRDG. Talented and diverse workforces have been developed through measures like the Bioscience Inclusion Initiative, and the organization has advocated for startup-friendly public policies and led efforts to secure federal collaborative grants.
Now that the innovations are reaching critical mass, the region needs to attract established companies that fit its strengths—which led to BioSTL’s creation of the St. Louis-Israel Innovation Connection last fall. It already has its first success: The plant genetics and breeding-technology company Kaiima Bio-Agritech recently opened its US headquarters in St. Louis. – AD
EDUCATION: Blake Marggraff | Co-Founder, Betaversity
Say you have a school and you want to encourage students to learn to design and build really cool stuff—except you think it’s hard or expensive or intimidating. Not so, says Blake Marggraff: With the right tools, someone can get started within five minutes.
To prove it, the Wash U student co-founded Betaversity with a group of peers. It’s the simple idea of taking a shipping container and filling it with tech materials, basic supplies, hardware and software to create a "makerspace” where anyone can invent, design and build. The BetaBox is “designed with the totally naïve user in mind,” Marggraff says. Some of the gear, like the laser cutter and 3-D printer, has a learning curve; other supplies, like duct tape and pipe cleaners, couldn’t be simpler.
Users from all academic disciplines have left with physical items ranging from device prototypes to sound/music visualization art projects. Once the students have learned by doing, the next step is getting a job. BetaVersity can help with that too, through Atlas, its process-oriented online portfolio for engineers.
EDUCATION: Joseph Klaesner | Associate Professor Of Physical Therapy, Washington University School Of Medicine
When Joseph Klaesner started out in the mid-1980s, he couldn’t get a biomedical engineering job. Fast-forward 30 years, and the world has caught up with him. For the past 15 years, he’s been shaping some of the best minds in
the field.
In the senior-level BME design class he teaches along with Dr. Frank Yin and Jonathan Silva at Washington University, recent projects have varied from a pedicle screw device that helps identify the real-time position of surgical tools to a hot pink robotic prosthetic arm for a 13-year-old girl, made with a 3-D printer for only $200.
“All of these students are exposed to incredible new technology,” Klaesner explains. “The ones that are successful are the ones that look at the technology in new ways.”
And Klaesner knows how hard they need to work firsthand: His own research centers on rehab engineering and the WheelMill System, a wheelchair dynamometer that provides a realistic user experience for manual wheelchair
research and training
HANGING WITH RIHANNA, NAOMI, SJP, KARL & MORE AT THE FENDI OPENING
The corner of 57th and Madison is one of the chicest shopping addresses in the universe and that's where the new Fendi boutique opened last night. Style addicts young and old convened on the fashionable corner to celebrate the legendary Rome-based fashion house and its creative directors Karl Lagerfeld (women's) and Silvia Venturini Fendi (women's and accessories).
The evening's DJ was none other than former Paper cover girl and lover of large hats Erykah Badu. The songbird turned turntablist played an eclectic mix of songs from Vanity 6 to Jay Z. We asked her if she prepared a special mix for the fashion crowd. "It's kind of like therapy for me," she explained "so whatever happens, happens." Are there any songs she always ends up playing no matter what the gig? "Doobie Brothers, " she smiled. "What a Fool Believes."
In between shaking their money makers to the song stylings of Miss Badu and enjoying aperol cocktails guests perused the Peter Marino-designed boutique and shopped. Martha Stewart, sporting her first-ever piece of Fendi, which she'd gotten 16 years ago, snapped photos of shoes and bags she liked. "You can wear it as a dress or a coat, " she told me about her outfit. Did she spot anything at the boutique she had to have? "I want one of these creatures!" she said fondling the Maddie, a little powder blue fur monster accessory. Blue is certainly a color she can't resist --spotting Paper's own blue-haired Drew Elliott, Stewart hustled over to him to get a photo together.
The monsters Martha was eyeing are the latest sensation from the company that brought you the baguette, one of the all time champion It-bags of our time. "These monsters are like adult teddy bears," one party guest was overheard saying. "Beanie Babies!" declared his jovial friend.
The store is two floors of pure luxury designed by Marino, the King of luxury boutiques. We told him that we flipped for One Way: Peter Marino, the art show he curated about himself at the Bass Museum of Art in Miami. "Doing a show on yourself is stressful," he laughed. A favorite piece of ours was a sculpture of Marino so lifelike that visitors to the museum thought it was him. And so did some press outlets. "A photo ran in a magazine (of the sculpture) that said 'Peter Marino and his installation. They don't know I consider myself my own work of art!"
Throughout the night a parade of well-dressed fashion bessies pranced up and down the stairs of the two-floor store. Model Coco Rocha, who is pregnant and recently celebrated the release of her book, Study of a Pose: 1,000 Poses by Coco Rocha, joked that "making the book was harder than making a baby." Olivia Palermo looked gorgeous in a dress and coat set by Diane von Furstenberg and carrying a Fendi bag. Sarah Jessica Parker, Rosario Dawson, Zoe Kravitz and Sofia Coppola were there, all decked out in Fendi. Stylist June Ambrose wore a big round fur hat she said was inspired by the Flintstones character the Great Gazoo. Model mom and daughter Pat and Anna Cleveland joined supermodel Naomi Campbell in dancing to Jay Z's "I Just Wanna Love You" as Rihanna arrived.
We asked Rihanna if she remembered the first fashion show she ever went to. "I'm not sure which show was the first I went to but I certainly remember the first time I was in a fashion show. It was DSquared. I was in a super flowy dress and had two super hot guys alongside me." She smiled. The fun truly never ends in fashionland!
Kardashians At War! Kim Gives Khloe Silent Treatment Over Reunion With Bad Boy French Montana
Family comes first for the Kardashians — except when there’s a guy involved! RadarOnline.com has learned that Kim recently gave Khloe the silent treatment over her reconciliation with bad boy rapper French Montana because she believes he is using her little sister for fame.
“Kim does not like French and is really disappointed that Khloe is hanging out with him again,” a source close to the sisters told Radar. “She thinks he is bad news and doesn’t want her to get involved with him again.”
Things came to a head when Khloe, Kendall and Kylie Jenner were all partying with French Montana backstage at a concert at Madison Square Garden on February 12. Kim was hanging out nearby, but made a point of avoiding the group.

“Kim didn’t go over to the group at all,” an eyewitness at Hot 97’s “The Tip-Off” presented by CIROC, the official toast of the NBA, told Radar. “She was completely ignoring the whole group. She iced Khloe out.”
The source told Radar that Kim believes “French isn’t good enough for Khloe. He’s hardly on the same level as Kanye [West] or Jay Z, who she was with that night. And she didn’t want to waste time talking to French just to give him the attention he craves.”
As Radar previously reported, the entire family was against Khloe dating the rapper last time around, and they’re not any happier now that she’s been seeing him again.

“Kim and everyone else think that French just hangs around Khloe using her for fame and that he isn’t that interested in her,” said the source.
But now that Khloe’s ex-husband Lamar Odom is also back in the picture, the source said Kim is relieved.
“Kim doesn’t want to see French trying to get famous by hanging out with Khloe and so she is happy that he might have some competition in the boyfriend department.”
The Envelope, Please! The Best, Worst & Wackiest Dressed Stars At The 2015 Oscars
Worst: Jennifer Lopez: Elie Saab dressed the singer, American Idol judge, and movie star in this very big, flesh-toned, intricately beaded, and low-cut monstrosity. This is simply too much cleavage for the Academy Awards, Hollywood’s most tasteful and traditional event and the color just blends into her body. Is she trying to look nude? Well, Lopez succeeded at that on top.
AP Worst: Julianne Moore: The Oscar favorite tries to work this custom Chanel dress that Karl Lagerfeld made for her. The long shiny white gown includes black embellishment on the top, middle, and bottom which seems too busy for the veteran stunner. And the pale color is a bit, well, boring.
Best: Sienna Miller: No sniping, here—Miller looks amazing. The American Sniper actress puts a neat twist on basic black in Oscar de la Renta. It’s so sweet and retro-inspired with the square strappy look and three sets of velvet bows down the front. Also, the smudged cat’s eye makeup (a spring trend) brings out her eyes.
Best: David Oyelowo: It’s so refreshing to see an actor try a different color at the Oscars besides basic black. Here, the Selma star gives us a burgundy tuxedo with red vest and bow tie. Oyelowo told E! that designer Dolce and Gabbana “hooked me up.” Very natty.
Best: Margot Robbie: Wolf whistle! The blonde beauty shows up at the Academy Awards looking the height of Hollywood glamour. Oh, the red lips, the shaped blonde bob, the low-cut sheer black dress and statement necklace. It just doesn’t get better than this. The Wolf of Wall Street star said her dress is by Yves Saint Laurent and diamond necklace from Van Cleef and Arpels is “worth more than my life.” Turns out it was originally designed for the Duchess of Windsor.
