Idol Chatter

Touted as her first new music in seven years, Amy Grant’s new album, “Somewhere Down the Road,” is something less and something more: only six of the record’s tracks are new songs, mixed in with previously unreleased tracks, old songs represented and a cover of MercyMe’s “Imagine.” But among the six new releases are some…

I’m a little embarrassed to admit that I jumped on the opportunity to see a press screening of Nicholas Sparks’ latest movie adaptation, ‘The Last Song.’ Yes it stars Miley Cyrus and yes it’s a film that essentially shows Cyrus falling in love with her current real-life main-squeeze, Liam Hemsworth–but I didn’t care.

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.

The second most powerful man in our country–the one who sits one heartbeat or motorcade crash away from the Presidency–dropped the F-bomb during one of the most historic and highly rated television news moments in history. You can hear it here and see it here. Even though it was bleeped out of almost all subsequent…

While the sports world wonders whether or not he will win as he enters the Holy City of Augusta in a few weeks, here are my Top Five Tiger Woods storylines as it relates to his role not as professional golfer but as cultural icon: Tiger’s Buddhist Faith. I’m wondering if we’re ready to really…
