Idol Chatter

40 years ago this Monday, my neighbor, Neil Armstrong, walked on the moon. I’m not sure which is more unbelievable to me: the fact that it happened, or the fact that he and I now have mutual friends (I’ve never met him). It was, truly, an emotional moment for our country! For the first time…

There’s an old phrase used to talk about the challenges of an interfaith relationship: “a bird may love a fish,” the expression goes, ” but where will they build a home?” Finding a place to live is not going to be a problem for the newly engaged Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump, who are both–in…

Jimmy Carter, it seems, believes in the separation between church and rock. The former president, whose 1976 White House campaign saw both performances by the Allman Brothers Band and the introduction of the term “born again” to the Washington media’s lexicon, has revealed in a new book that he became disenchanted with Bob Dylan after…

Have you heard of Cullenism? Apparently, it’s been around for a while now, but I just learned of it today. Yes, that’s right: Cullenism, and its followers are called Cullenites. As in Edward Cullen, the star vampire from “Twilight,” the novels by Stephenie Meyer turned cult movie hit. Some people are saying it’s a new…

Actor James (Jim) Caviezel, best known for portraying Jesus in Mel Gibson’s “The Passion of the Christ,” was injured in an accident yesterday, after a man threw a bicycle into his path while he was riding his Harley-Davidson. Caviezel, who recently starred as a journalist in “The Stoning of Soraya M.,” suffered cuts and bruises…

It seems like Sacha Baron Cohen isn’t happy unless someone’s unhappy with him. He’s been the subject of lawsuits in the wake of his last movie, “Borat,” and now he’s back in the news, having offended many over the scenes in his latest film, “Bruno.” But the “Borat” lawsuit was filed by some fratboys–this time,…

The Emmy nominations were announced today, which for me is a good-news-bad-news thing. In fact, it’s bittersweet. For the record, “30 Rock” and “Mad Men” absolutely dominated the nominations. “30 Rock” led the comedy side of the slate with an unbelievable 22 nominations while “Mad Men” had 16, the best of the drama shows. (You…

What sad news! The Huffington Post is reporting that Pulitzer Prize winning author Frank McCourt is “gravely ill with meningitis” and “not expected to live” according to his brother Malachy. Throughout his memoirs, “Angela’s Ashes,” “‘Tis,” and “Teacher Man,” McCourt–one of my favorite authors–told about his life growing up in poverty, first in Brooklyn, N.Y.,…

The Emmy nominations for 2009 were announced this morning and the biggest surprise of all was the inclusion of the Fox animated series, “Family Guy”–a show that’s known for keeping the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on their toes with their raunchy jokes and has been cancelled twice. Even more surprising, the show about the dysfunctional…

It seems no one is truly impervious to the Chosen One from Hogwart’s spell after all. Although the Vatican has thoroughly denounced the” Harry Potter” series in the past (as recently as last year), the Vatican newspaper recently announced that everyone’s favorite wizard now has the Vatican seal of approval for the latest film adaptation,…
