Idol Chatter

TNT has certainly been successful at creating summer series centered around strong female characters, whether it’s my favorite “The Closer,” “Raising the Bar” or it’s big hit, “Saving Grace.” I felt like the first two seasons of TNT’s police drama “Saving Grace” were just a little too in your face, but in the third season…

One of the more entertaining movies I saw last weekend at the Waterfront Film Festival was the romantic comedy ” The Answer Man.” Jeff Daniels plays a poor man’s Deepak Chopra named Arlen Faber. Arlen wrote a self-help book many years ago called “Me and God” and it rapidly turned into a self-help cottage industry…

Madonna’s media representative released the news that the pop star has been approved by a Malawian court to adopt another child from that country. I can’t tell whether I hate or love all of the press she is getting. In 2006, she adopted David and now is adopting Chifundo “Mercy” James, but it had been…

David Carradine, the well-known, well-remembered and well-misunderstood actor, died on the other side of the world recently, and news emerged that his death was the result of either suicide, personal experimentation gone bad, or foul play. Now the news has come that has ruled out suicide as the cause of death. Unfortunately, however, whatever media…

In my opinion, the jury’s still out on whether season two of HBO’s “True Blood“–premiering this Sunday, June 14th–is worth the commitment. Whereas season one started off promising–Sookie Stackhouse meets vampire Bill, who is not only good looking but old-fashioned sweet on her, that was about the only story line of the show that didn’t…

While you’re counting down the days (hours and minutes–HBO actually has a countdown on the “True Blood” homepage), definitely check out the trailer for Season Two. Some of it’s rather sexy and romantic (i.e. promising), some of it is, well, plain weird and bloody, and implies that Jason (Sookie’s vampire blood addicted, sex-crazed brother) might…

Chastity Bono, gay rights activist and daughter of Cher and the late performer Sonny Bono, has publically announced that she is underdoing gender reassignment and is transitioning from a female to a male. Bono would like to be now be called Chaz, announced his spokesman Howard Bragman yesterday. In a statement, Bragman said, “He is…

“Allow me to be blunt for a moment,” said Max Phillips, in a recent Escapist Magazine article. “Most games avoid anything having to do with the subject of religion.” That got my attention! And it should have. “In most cases it doesn’t get much deeper than the gaming plot staple of ‘these aliens are religious…

Just when I thought I wouldn’t have to hear any more debate about Miss USA Carrie Prejean and her religious beliefs regarding gay marriage, the news came late in the afternoon yesterday that Prejean has been fired from her position after all. Alhough a few weeks ago, organization founder Donald Trump said Prejean would not…

Every time I travel to Los Angeles I love picking up my beloved L.A. Times. When I can’t, I read it online. A recent story on Stephen Colbert caught my attention. What do you think Stephen Colbert would have to say from Iraq on his “The Colbert Report?” Drumming up reminiscences of Bob Hope and…
