Idol Chatter

Yufuf Islam, the artist formerly known as Cat Stevens, made an appearance on “The Colbert Report” earlier this week to promote his new album, “Roadsinger.”Apparently, the Muslim singer is going by his first name only these days as he “prefers to use only his first name to foster a more intimate relationship with listeners.”Check out…

Hugh Jackman’s latest installment of the X-Men saga may not be wowing critics, but fans are still showing his trademark character, Wolverine some love at the box office for “X-Men Origins: Wolverine.” Maybe that’s because in real life, Jackman is a peacemaker and just wants everyone to get along. At least that’s what I gather…

“Glee” is a show built on cliches–the teacher who will do anything for the kids, the jock who’ll give up popularity to pursue his dorky dream, the talented gal who dreams of becoming a star–but the sum of its parts is anything but cliche. Ryan Murphy populates his latest creation about a dedicated Spanish teacher’s…

Jason Dolley plays Newt in the Disney Channel’s popular series “Cory in the House” and stars in “Hatching Pete,” now out on DVD with another family-friendly feature, “Dadnapped.” Jason found time to talk to me between finals in his college classes, and I really enjoyed our conversation, especially his frank and sincere discussion of his…

Remember the Woody Allen billboard for American Apparel? Remember the lawsuit for $10M by the Woodman against the “vertically integrated” clothing company that indicated the billboard wasn’t in any way approved of by Woody Allen? Well, there’s a settlement, and AA will have to pay Allen $5M for the unlicensed use of his image. But…

As someone who both writes and adores YA (young adult) novels, and has her own share of prom-going experiences to draw on, I get a bit nostalgic this time of year when I see a limo pull up at a fine restaurant and several high school couples–dressed in their finest–step out of it. And while…

For all you “Twilight”-obsessed out there (I’m looking at you Donna Freitas), check out what I just received in my inbox–a first look at the upcoming “The Twilight Saga: New Moon,” which hits theaters November 20. The new film stars all your favs from the first “Twilight” movie, Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, etc.…

According to some reports, Madonna is going to marry Jesus (no, not that one)–and may have already done so over the weekend. In between a fling with A-Rod and an attempt to adopt another child from Malawi, Material Girl Madge has hooked up with Latin hottie, Jesus Luz and some say they are destined to…

The wonderful Warner Archive has released another movie I remember fondly, Bye Bye Braverman. Director Sidney Lumet, showing the same feel for the city evident in his other films like “Dog Day Afternoon” and “Serpico,” made this film about four New York Jewish intellectuals on their way to a funeral. They bicker, they get lost,…
