A: Edie Falco, who already put Carmela Soprano to rest on The Sopranos, will be doing the same for Jackie Peyton when Nurse Jackie begins its final season on Showtime tonight. On playing the nurse with the pill addiction, Falco, 51, says, “I have known and loved many addicts in my life; it has been very interesting to be on the other side of it. It’s given me a lot more compassion for the people who used to just make me angry.” WALTER SCOTT ASKS... REVRUN A founding member of seminal hip-hop act RunD.M.C., Rev Run (Joseph Simmons) is also a minister who spreads the good news—and good food—on Rev Run’s Sunday Suppers, airing Sunday nights on Cooking Channel. What led you to make Sunday dinner such an important part of your week? “[Our kids are] out of the house. I felt a little lonely. I thought, ‘If I can just get them one day a week…’ So I said, ‘Everybody come over for Sunday dinner.’” Why televise it? “That’s my job. I’m here to inspire. First as Run-D.M.C. and now as somebody who inspires families to be together and have a good time—to slow down and see what’s important. I enjoy being a husband and a dad, and I enjoy letting people watch.” Do you do much of the cooking? “Cooking brings me close to Justine, my wife. I will take on a project and, if I get stuck, I can call her in for help.” What’s your favorite meal? “Pizza is my favorite meal, but I can’t have it often. I’m watching my calories, so I love to get into the kitchen and pull together things that are tasty but not full of extra sodium and calories.” What role does music play in your life now? “RunD.M.C. has done several concerts recently. Additionally, I do a lot of DJ’ing. I am a resident DJ at Borgata in Atlantic City. I enjoy being on the turntables with my partner in crime, DJ Ruckus.” Rev Run with wife Justine Email your questions for Walter Scott to personality@ parade.com Q: What is former TV weatherman Willard Scott up to? —Damien Dalton, San Antonio, Texas A. He’s out of the weather business, but the longtime NBC Today personality— who last year married his sweetheart, Paris Keena, after the 2002 death of his wife, Mary—continues to make appearances on the Host with the Most Luke Bryan returns for the third straight year as co-host (with Blake Shelton) of the Academy of Country Music Awards on CBS, which begins the ramp-up to its blowout 50th annual awards show on April 19 with a two-day music festival in Dallas April 17-18. Think you know everything about the “Crash My Party” singer, who’s won four ACM Awards and is nominated for four more this year? Here are five little-known facts straight from Bryan himself. 1. “I got hit by a car while crossing the street in second grade.” One of Scott’s early gigs: TV commercials as Ronald McDonald show to wish happy birthday to 100-year-old viewers. Scott, 81, has a long history in front of the cameras. One of his TV gigs in the 1960s was dressing up as an early prototype of Ronald McDonald, the “hamburger clown” pitchman for McDonald’s, which turns 60 this year. (Go to Parade. com/McDonalds for more McDonald’s 60th birthday trivia.) 2. “When I first moved to Nashville, I waited tables. That lasted three days.” 3. “Guilty pleasure: movie popcorn.” 4. “If I wake up in the middle of the night, I eat a bowl of cereal.” 5. “I have had stitches three times—all on my face.” COVER CREDITS: MAYWEATHER BY JEFF BOTARI/GETTY IMAGES; CAT IN HAT BY WENN/NEWSCOM; LEE BY REUTERS/ LARRY DOWNING/LANDOV; WALKER BY CBS/HEATHER WINES/LANDOV; STONIE BY BRIAN CAHN/ZUMA; WARREN BY REUTERS/GRETCHEN ERTL/LANDOV; HAMM BY FRANK OCKENFELS/AMC; KEITH COURTESY SHOCK INK 2 | APRIL 12, 2015 © PARADE Publications 2015.

Nope, and neither does right-handedness, for that matter. No strong parallel to inborn human “handedness” exists in other animals. A few weak parallels may be found, such as parrots that often use their left foot to grab a piece of food or toads that use a right foot to wipe off their faces. Each individual animal, such as your dog or cat, may develop a preference for one paw over another for a particular task, but neither chosen side strongly dominates the way the one inborn side does in humans. The developed preferences are divided roughly evenly between the right and left sides.

Photo Credit © Ed Anderson Butter Lettuce with Blue Cheese and Strawberries Love Why We UNDERDOGS The star of Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 knows all about characters who thrive when the odds are against them. He’s been there. By Kevin James BLART BY SONY PICTURES/NEWSCOM; JAMES BY KEITH BEATY/TORONTO STAR/GETTY IMAGES I ’ve always loved the underdog. I think most people do. In my case, it’s because I was one. When I was born, I weighed less than eight pounds! I couldn’t walk. I couldn’t talk. I couldn’t chew solid foods and I’d go to the bathroom right in my pants. I cried a lot, too. But I overcame the odds and conquered all those things. When I was a kid, my favorite movie was Rocky. I can still remember throwing punches in my seat, trying to will Rocky into beating the invincible Apollo Creed. Ever since then, I’ve always rooted for the underdog, both in movies and in life. There’s something truly American about being born with nothing and making it on your own, with only your brains, your talent or whatever it is that makes you special. And when you come up against bigger, stronger, faster people, to not give up because beating them at their own game, when all logic says you have no chance, is the sweetest victory of all. We love underdogs because we’ve all been there in one way or another—when every bit of reason and sense would tell you that you have absolutely no shot, but you toss reason aside and jump in anyway. And that’s what motivates Paul Blart, mall cop, to put on his uniform every day—the hope that he can defy the odds. Sure, it’s easy to poke fun at a guy like Blart. He cares about his job and keeping shoppers safe, maybe too much. But who would ever think that this outof-shape guy, on the bottom rung of the security-business ladder, would end up being the thin blue line between safety and chaos? That’s the kind of guy I wanna see come through in the clutch. When nobody thinks Paul Blart can save the day, he’s just getting warmed up. He’s gonna be the hero. He’s like Batman— no, wait, he’s better than Kevin James plays security guard Paul Blart in the new movie sequel to Paul Blart: Mall Cop. Batman. You heard me. No offense, but anybody can be a hero with 180 pounds of sculpted muscle and all of the gadgets a billion bucks can buy. All Blart has to work with is some non-lethal pepper spray and a wicked pair of love handles. When I was growing up, my dad sold insurance and my mom took care of me and my brother and sister. I wasn’t the greatest student. I dropped out of college and got a job driving a forklift, which I thought I was pretty good at; but I got fired, so apparently not. After that, believe it or not, I worked as a personal trainer at a gym. I’m not saying I was any good; I would lose count of the reps my client was doing, and then I’d be like, “Uh, that’s good enough—let’s go grab a chocolate energy bar.” When I started doing standup, I knew it wasn’t going to be easy. I didn’t have industry connections. I was on Long Island—not in New York City—so even if I did great with an audience, who knew if anybody would see it? One time, an agent asked me what my goal was, and I said to have my own sitcom. He laughed and said that would never happen: “You just don’t have the look. The sooner you embrace that, the better.” Well, I’m glad I didn’t embrace that, or The King of Queens would’ve never happened. And I would never have been in movies. So here’s to all the underdogs, the Paul Blarts, the Mets, the Jets, the Knicks… all of you. Keep fighting. Ignore those who tell you that you can’t do something. Find that inner strength—or just relax and go have a chocolate energy bar. Because anything is possible. I know that firsthand. Starring as deliveryman Doug Heffernan on the hit CBS sitcom The King of Queens and in a number of supporting and starring movie roles, standup comedian-turned-actor KEVIN JAMES has a natural feel for chumps who turn into champs. On April 17, he’ll be back on the big screen as the Segway-riding security guard spurred to heights of heroism in the new comedy Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2. APRIL 12, 2015 | 7 © PARADE Publications 2015.

Even if you’re close, chances are you’ll never really know. The truth is, according to a Parade survey, most Americans would rather divulge their age or even their weight rather than share what they earn. That’s why our annual peek into dozens of paychecks— from the competitve eater to the toll collector, the reality TV star to the governor—is a tradition that is equal parts informative and fun. This year we also look at pay rates for some of the newest jobs out there (Uber driver, marijuana packager and drone technician, to name a few) and some of the oldest (visit Parade.com/Earn for a story on trades, including plumbers and electricians). Both job categories are expected to grow in 2015.
