Launch of Shareatable is the result of Serendipity

The founders met when they shared a table at a restaurant, and then they made a business out of it: Shareatable. A new scheme to get people together.

(Business) traveling on your own can be a wonderful opportunity, but many travelers object to eating on their own. It's often dull, and people seem to be staring at you. Asking someone else whether you can join their table is too high a hurdle for most of us. Shareatable is an initiative that makes it easier for people to join each other, without hurdles. It's free, and you're bound to have a more interesting evening!

So, how does it work, Shareatable?

All participating restaurants assign a table that is meant to be shared. They put a Shareatable logo on this table so everyone will know you can simply pull up a chair without having to ask. There are no other rules.

On the Shareatable.org website you can see which hotels & restaurants have already joined. There are also stories of people who have shared tables and you can use our #shareatable Twitter to see whether there's anyone eating near you tonight, or announce where you plan to eat.

Founders and female entrepreneurs Martina Grutterink & Liz Luyben got the idea for Shareatable when they accidentally shared a table together: ?'It was really busy in the restaurant, so I asked whether I could join her table. ", says Martina, ?That worked out really well!

We talked about eating on your own, and how much better it would be if you didn't have to ask whether you could join somebody else's table, and before we knew it, we'd started a website! ? ?Part of the plan is to add some more sociability to the world.? adds Liz, ?Everybody is so "social", everybody has 500 friends on Facebook, and yet they're eating alone. That can't be right, can it??

This scheme is great for (business) travelers, especially women, who often end up ordering room service or going to MacDonald's to avoid eating alone in a restaurant. The restaurants stand to gain as well, as people who are enjoying themselves will eat and drink more, and a lively restaurant is more of a draw.

Shareatable isn't just intended for solo travelers, as married couples or colleagues who've been on the road together for a while can sometimes do with some new input as well!

While at L.A. premiere earlier this week, Owen raved about his experience working on the movie, telling, "There was the experience of shooting the movie in Paris, which was great," adding, "And the way Woody shoots - he moves very quick, so it's not these draining 16-hour days. You get a chance to sort of be very organized, and you go into work and then you have time to enjoy the city."

Comatose Jeff Conaway Struggles to Stay Alive

Comatose Jeff Conaway Struggles to Stay Alive

After a long history of health problems and addiction, Taxi star Jeff Conaway fell into a coma a week ago in Los Angeles.

The latest crisis for the troubled actor, 60, came as a surprise to those closest to him.

"He seemed fine early last week," his manager of eight years, Phil Brock, told PEOPLE on Thursday. "He had spoken with his agent and his management team and even attended an autograph signing. He really seemed in fine spirits."

Given what appeared to be a content state of well-being for Conaway, Brock and the rest of his team were devastated when the actor was found after lying unconscious for approximately 10 hours.

"We strongly hope for his recovery," Brock says. "We hope he can finally exorcise the demons that have plagued him. He is an amazingly kind soul and there are many people who care about him."

Brock fears the ultimate outcome of the situation ? and for good reason.

"Over the weekend, there was head movement, but there have not been any changes in his movement or condition since then," he says. "We are concerned it may have been an overdose but we have no way of knowing for sure."

Conaway, who battled substance abuse since he was 17, had an open struggle with alcohol, cocaine and pain pills over the course of his life.

At the time he slipped into a coma, Brock says the actor was on a combination of legally prescribed painkillers to treat back problems and other medications for various illnesses. The adverse reaction caused Conaway to come down with pneumonia.

Conaway's problems were publicly addressed on Dr. Drew Pinsky's Celebrity Rehab reality series on VH1, during which Pinsky told PEOPLE the Grease actor was "complicated," but "not hopeless."

"I am deeply saddened to learn of Jeff's condition," Pinsky says of Conaway's current state. "My thoughts and prayers are with Jeff and his family."

Exclusive: Shriver Friends Say Arnold Schwarzenegger "Completely Betrayed" Maria

While Maria Shriver is no doubt decompressing (and lawyering up) after the shock of husband Arnold Schwarzenegger's infidelities, close friends of Maria's tell me the pain goes much deeper than what's being reported.

"He completely betrayed Maria," says a Shriver colleague and friend, who shares many common interests with the famous Kennedy daughter. "And I'll tell you what hurt her the most..."

RELATED: Maria Shriver lawyers up

"Do you realize," asks the Shriver pal and confidante, "that this means when Arnold was standing by her side through mother's death?and then her father's death?he was concealing this [affair and love child] from her, too?"

Eunice Kennedy Shriver died Aug. 11, 2009, and Sargent Shriver died Jan. 18 of this year.

The Shriver friend says both she, as well as other Maria girlfriends, consider this the cruelest cut of all?because Schwarzenegger knew well how dearly Shriver idolized and "adored" both her parents.

"And to have lied to her through that that difficult time, to have just gone through the motions like that," blasts the Shriver source, "is unforgivable. She was very upset over that. My God, she still is."

Also irking Maria's set?greatly?is the amount of support (at the cost of her own TV career) Maria lent Arnold when he ran for governor in 2003.

"Not only did she give up her own career to help him," another Shriver friend complained, regarding her resignation from her Dateline NBC job to officially become California's first lady, "but, she got him elected, remember?"

This is not far from the truth.

When Schwarzenegger ran for his first term as governor, the Los Angeles Times (as well as this columnist) began writing what some of us behind the scenes had known for many years: that Schwarzenegger's character was questionable?at best?and that the Austrian muscle-builder had a long history of treating women bady.

"Unless Maria stood by that man's side and played the good wife," claims this Shriver friend (who's also strongly politically active), "I guarantee you he would not have been elected. There were too many questions about him."

Well, hindsight is always 20/20, right? Would California, which seemed pretty much to have been blind-sided by Schwarzenegger's movie-star appeal, have elected him if Maria hadn't of so dutifully stumped for him?

We'll never know.

Gwen Stefani?s L?Oreal Photo Shoot Gives Us Deja Vu [PHOTOS]

Something seems a little too familiar here, in more ways than one. Gwen Stefani is shown here being photographed during photo shoot for L?Oreal in Cannes France today.

Our two moments of deja vu were the fact that she wore the same gown, that she?s wearing while being photographed on the balcony, to the amfAR?s Cinema Against AIDS Gala today.

PHOTOS: Gwen Stefani Parties With Gwyneth Paltrow

Secondly, the balcony shoot is extremely reminiscent of the shoot that Beyonce did for Harper?s Bazaar last month. Maybe that was doubling up as a L?Oreal shoot?

Regardless, Gwen looked flawless. Although, we?re still a little jealous that she gets to go home to this every night.
