Idol Chatter

It’s no surprise that Josh Duggar, the oldest child of Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar’s 18 children, and his new wife Anna have taken up the family tradition of being in the family way (the couple announced Anna’s pregnancy yesterday) with much enthusiasm. But, what I do find surprising is the transformation of TLC from…

Everyone is abuzz every time a new member of the ever-expanding cast for “Twilight” is announced. This time, on Sunday everyone was talking about Michael Sheen, the British actor who got the part of Aro, the head vampire of the Volturi in Italy, the coven Edward Cullen pays a visit to in his despair-induced attempt…

By Chris Sagona I felt instant foreboding when I ripped open an orange Fed Ex package two weeks ago and saw that the next book I was being asked to review was called “Losing My Religion.” It wasn’t just the title and the cover’s obviously extinguished candle that gave me a queasy feeling. It was…

Best-selling author and storyteller SQuire Rushnell–yes, that’s a capital Q– launched his popular Godwink Stories™ on Beliefnet this week. Look for his twice-weekly video vignettes that will lift your heart and make you smile. A “godwink” is what some people would call a coincidence, an answered prayer, or an experience so astonishing that it could…

LeBron James, basketball phenomenon…. and a Member of the Tribe? I often tease my people about our collective obsession with the question of whether this celebrity or that is Jewish. But this one is a real mystery, and a big name, to boot. A recent issue of Time magazine asked several celebrities who they would…

I was discouraged to hear the news of Mr. and Mrs. Mel Gibson’s pending divorce. Robyn Gibson signed the paperwork last week, the day before Good Friday. Mel must have had a different kind of passion this Easter. The Gibsons have been married since 1980, after meeting in Adelaide, Australia in 1977. They have seven…

Of all of the Easter traditions on television, I hope a new one was born this past weekend. Easter came to network television, and I hope it continues for years to come. On just about every weekend since the 60’s, ABC has shown Charlton Heston as Moses in “The Ten Commandments.” AMC, TMC, and other…

One of the most inspirational and highly watched events of the television sportscasting year took place Sunday, as the Masters beamed out from Augusta to a staggering number of interested homes on Easter. Ratings for the first days of the tournament were up on TV and up even more on the Internet. Divine forces seemed…

A few weeks ago, we shared the news that everyone’s favorite prairie tomboy, Laura Ingalls–and her alter ego, Melissa Gilbert–were hitting the road with a touring company of “Little House on the Prairie: The Musical,” a show of great nostalgic value to those of us who valued the stories of the simple, yet challenging, midwestern…

This year when it comes time to decorate Easter Eggs, I am going to put aside the vinegar scented PAAS (sorry PAAS!) and pick up some colorful glitter, paint, and rubber bands. Yes, rubber bands. I just read this great new Beliefnet gallery, “10 Ways to Decorate Easter Eggs” and learned some really cool new…
