We were glad to hear that besides a broken wrist, Kris Allen would be okay after an awful car accident on New Year's.
What's shocking us, though, is that he's already performing — regardless of the injury!

Nicole Richie has gotten her body right where she wants it, and now it's all about maintenance.
She still eats healthy and gets her workout on. Aaaand, exercising can even be fun, like, you know, if you go paddle boarding!
Again, what's with celebs and paddle boarding?? LOLz!

Vicki Gunvalson, star of Real Housewives of Orange County, is lucky to be alive after she fell off a mountain!!
Well, more like down a mountain, but still, scary stuff!
Vicki was skiing down a slope in Park City, Utah just before the New Year.
While flying down the mountain, a snowboarder apparently cut her off and she ended up falling face first down the mountain!

Ryan Seacrest took a much deserved break from doing literally everything there is to do in the enterainment industry to spend time with his girlfriend Julianne Hough. They chose St. Barts, which is a fab place to kick off the New Year if you ask us!

It's a New Year!
Here is a quick and delicious dessert recipe that wont have you breaking your resolutions. Light and sweet with a hint of melted chocolate, it will satisfy your cravings without the guilt. Keep this recipe on hand for when unexpected guests stop by: they will be impressed you whipped up a soufflé in a matter of minutes! Get creative, and try substituting the bananas with raspberries or other fruit!
Banana Chocolate Soufflé
3 large egg whites
1/3 cup sugar
2 large, ripe bananas (about 1 1/2 cup, smashed)
3 tablespoons mini chocolate chips or cocoa powder (or both)
Preheat oven to 450 degrees, and butter 6 small ramekin dishes (3/4 - 1 cup capacity or other small oven safe bowls)
Beat egg whites in medium size bowl with electric mixer until stiff (you could hold the bowl upside down and it stays in place) Slowly mix in sugar with mixer until well combined. Gently fold in smashed bananas and chocolate until blended together: don't over mix or the egg whites will deflate. Divide mixture among the ramekins and bake until puffed and golden - about 15 minutes. When you remove from the oven, run a knife around the edges to help prevent deflating. Enjoy!
