Idol Chatter

“Hannah Montana” star Miley Cyrus has had her share of controvesy over the past year. Cyrus, now 16, posed for what some called “too sexy” photos for Annie Leibovitz and Vanity Fair back in 2008. Plus other personal photos of her baring her bra and panties have been leaked onto the web. Then there’s the…

Pete Seeger, the great American folksinger, just turned 90 years old. Pete is a great believer in the power of music to bring people together. So what better way to celebrate his birthday than a sing-along with more than 15,000 people at New York’s Madison Square Garden? The concert on Sunday night benefited Seeger’s green…

Trekkies everywhere are collectively holding their breath in anticipation of J.J. Abrams’ (“Lost,” “Alias,” “Cloverfield”) new “Star Trek” film, which hits theaters this Friday. Will the film– which gives the back stories of James T. Kirk and Spock–be everything they’ve been hoping for, or will it bomb? Interesting, Gene Roddenberry, the creator of “Star Trek,”…

Cook announced his brother Adam’s death yesterday during a benefit run for the National Brain Tumor Society where he was the Grand Marshall.

The film also stars Cameron Diaz and Alec Baldwin and releases June 26.

The other day I discovered the best pick-me-up-to-beat-the-work-week-blues ever. The news that put a smile on my face was that Christian rocker Ashley Cleveland has finally announced the official release date of her new album “God Don’t Never Change.” While the release date is actually May 24, like all marketing-savvy artists, Cleveland has downloads of…

I see Esquire’s beloved writer A.J. Jacobs as a stunt man of a certain sort: he picks a crazy project with a beguiling, humorous hook–one of my favorites was when he “outsourced” his life to India, including arguments with his wife and bedtime stories with his kids–and then he “lives it” well beyond reasonable extremes…

Things that make you go “Ewww.” Reality TV dad and alleged philanderer, Jon Gosselin of TLC’s “Jon & Kate Plus 8” is getting sleazier by the day. As I mentioned back in March, Gosselin was reportedly crashing college parties, getting drunk, and making out with women who were not his his wife. He denied having…
