Food serves New Year’s health fodder

The Food Network takes New Year’s resolutions seriously with three specials dedicated to diet, exercise and renovation. On “Emeril Live” (7 p.m. today, Food), Emeril Lagasse visits boxer Laila Ali and tennis star Martina Navratilova in their training-camp kitchens. “10 Days to a New You” (8 p.m. today, Food) host Ellie Krieger offers advice for three adults with weighty issues. “Spa-Tacular Destination” (9 p.m. today, Food) showcases posh getaways for the pampered set.

¢ Cultural icons and artifacts from the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s return for reality shows old and new. “I’m From Rolling Stone” (9 p.m. Sunday, MTV) follows six young journalists vying for the job of contributing editor to the seminal rock ‘n’ roll magazine founded in the 1960s. Publisher/founder Jann Wenner appears in brief clips looking like a man old enough to know better than to appear on something so trite and contrived.

Because a show about a writing competition would be interesting, if problematic, “Rolling Stone” keeps it simple and, for the most part, stupid – concentrating on good-looking candidates who are predictably self-absorbed.

¢ “Grease,” a play from the 1970s about the 1950s, returns with a vengeance on “Grease: You’re the One That I Want” (7 p.m. Sunday, NBC), a nationwide talent contest to determine who gets to play the parts of Sandy and Danny.

Olivia Newton-John, the star of the 1978 screen version of the musical, will be on hand during the first two episodes. Oddly enough, her co-star, John Travolta, soon will appear in the screen version of the 2002 Broadway musical “Hairspray,” based on a 1988 screen musical comedy set in the early 1960s. Perhaps someday that too will inspire a reality series.

¢ This season, “The Apprentice” (8:30 p.m. Sunday, NBC) moves to Los Angeles. And that’s not the only new wrinkle. Managers of winning teams will retain that title until their team loses a competition. And in the first two episodes made available for review, losing teams were forced to sleep outside in tents and sleeping bags while winners sipped champagne poolside. One peeved would-be mogul chafes under what she calls “Third World” conditions.

Not to give too much away here, but the first elimination comes down to a choice between a bookish professor type and a loud, abrasive New Yorker who doesn’t know when to shut up. Which man would make a better protege of The Donald?

Today’s highlights

¢ An Israeli agent (Eric Bana) hunts down the killers responsible for the 1972 Olympic village massacre in the 2005 drama “Munich” (7 p.m., HBO), directed by Steven Spielberg.
