Idol Chatter

Chris Medina, recent Idol hopeful who unfortunately didn’t make it through Hollywood week, was on Ryan Seacrest’s radio program today to discuss Idol and his new single when he received a happy shock. Medina’s fiancée, Juliana, was injured in a serious car accident in 2009, incurring serious facial and brain trauma. She has been undergoing…

Now that the Oscars have brought at end to the 2010 movie award season, I was reminded this evening of the movie which I feel qualifies as the Most Overlooked Movie of the 2010 movie award season. Each year, there seems to be one amazing movie that is overlooked by Oscar but will last in…

In the fall, one of the storylines on ‘The Good Wife’ involved Alicia’s daughter teenaged daughter Grace, whose Christian friend was trying to convert her. Grace showed a newfound fascination with prayer and faith, and this clearly made her mother, Alicia, uncomfortable. This spring the writers have developed and expanded this thread and last week’s…

Here are this week’s most inspirational pop culture moments. “American Idol”: The Reality Competition Show with a Heart Last night proved once and for all that…

I have to say, I’m pretty excited that Anne Hathaway is hosting the Oscars. I think she is as winning as Julia Roberts and wonderfully funny. I can’t say I feel the same about James Franco though–I’ve never enjoyed him in a film, though I know that he is the Hollywood-man-of-the-moment these days. Perhaps this…

Everyone is all abuzz because the cast of Twilight has just arrived in Vancouver to start filming the fourth and final installment of the Twilight Saga. Well, correction: the fourth and final installment which has been broken into two. Which makes this installment Twilight 4.0, with 4.5 to be continued I suppose. Anyway. Part of…

"Get Low" is an inspiring movie now on DVD.
