Idol Chatter

I tuned in with high expectations. After all, the raves had been flowing. The show had been called “nothing short of mind-blowing” by Newsweek. People called it “gorgeous.” The New York Post proclaimed “every frame should win an Oscar.” “Brilliant,” said the Boston Globe. It “takes cameras where few have been,” exclaimed USA Today. Running…

Are you a fan of Christian music star Amy Grant? If so, you may want to check out “Somewhere Down the Road” (read Paul O’Donnell’s review here), her first new album in seven years, which releases on March 30, 2010. In celebration of the album’s release, we are giving away one grand prize: a complete…

We joined a Hollywood heavy hitter during his effort to aid Haiti, a British chef in his quest to transform Middle America, an L.A. talk show host in a Southern cultural battle, a…

Anne Rice speaks candidly about her faith at the I Am Second website.

I’m going to make this post short and sweet, unlike the torturous “American Idol” performances I’ve forced myself to sit through the past few weeks: This season of “Idol” has been terrible. Usually, nestled in amongst the talent and the palatable mediocrity, is one contestant that is just so awful that audiences reward the warbler…

Based on the best-selling memoir by Elizabeth Gilbert, a woman (Julia Roberts) believes she isn’t getting what she wants out of life and travels to Italy, India, and Indonesia over the course of the year. The film releases August 13, 2010.
