"Silver screen," a term that is now associated with classic Hollywood glamor and class, comes from a surprisingly literal and workmanlike source.

It comes from the early days of cinema, when films were projected on screens coated with metallic paint in order to reflect more light -- early cinema projectors were rather weak.

"To those who have asked what I did to lose the 25 pounds: 14 months of no alcohol and almost no sugar. Ate strictly organic," he wrote in September 2010. "You can actually see me gradually lose the weight over the 24 eps of Season 7. Slowly, a pound every week or two."
