Lifetime TV channel is planning to make a TV movie out of "Flirting with Forty," a Jane Porter novel about a woman who falls in love with her surfing instructor while on vacation in Waikiki. The TV movie is in pre-production for a December air date, according to the Internet Movie Database.

No word yet on where the beach scenes will be filmed. Real-life surf instructor Ty Gurney, who served as inspiration for Kai, the male lead in the book, said: "We're thinking they may film some of it in Hawai'i."

FIND DEALS AT THRIFT STORES

Secondhand shopping is not only economical, it's recycling. Some tips for negotiating thrift stores: Follow the money. Merchandise reflects the community where consignors and donors live. If it's an upscale neighborhood, you'll get high-end clothes. This might sound paradoxical, but the bigger-ticket items often represent better deals.

FINAL WORD

"If this country is ready for a black president, then it's also ready for a white kid from the suburbs of New Hampshire to play him on TV."

Seth Meyers | of "Saturday Night Live," in Entertainment Weekly
