Lisa Edelstein, star of Bravo's first scripted series, Girlfriends' Guide to Divorce, is the latest celebrity to be interviewed in EDGE. Edelstein's star turn as Dr. Lisa Cuddy, the besieged hospital administrator in the FOX series House, helped propel it to a seven-season run. "Lisa was one of the most interesting people I've interviewed for EDGE," said Tracey Smith. "She has a unique combination of toughness and talent, so it's not surprising that she lands great roles in which she effectively deals with complex issues."

When EDGE sought to interview the native New Jerseyan, an interesting connection came to light. In the 1980s and 1990s, the children of one of EDGE's editors were patients of Edelstein's father, a long time pediatrician in Northern New Jersey. "That's definitely a 'Small World' story," Smith adds.

The HealthyEDGE section regularly features editorial contributions from healthcare professionals at Trinitas. Keeping with the issue's theme, self-help techniques for dealing with issues come from Chief Psychologist Rodger Goddard, PhD. Also, Trinitas medical specialists weigh in on eye-opening research on marijuana, obesity and the battle against the MRSA infection.

As part of its lifestyle editorial, former Zagat New Jersey editor Andy Clurfeld reviews Roosterspin, one of the hottest new restaurants in Westfield.
