Idol Chatter

Tell me it ain’t so. Tell me that the next yoga craze does not have to do with people and their dogs on those little, squishy mats. And what if you owned a giant, chocolate lab? How would the two of you fit? Apparently, it is a trend. Guess what it’s called? Wait for it……

I returned to folk artist Bruce Cockburn’s music a couple of years ago when he released“Life Short Call Now,” one of the best recordings I listened to that year. Now Cockburn has a new two CD live set called “Slice O Life” that introduces new material and takes me back to some of his greatest…

Actress Kristin Chenoweth, known for her roles in “The West Wing” and “Pushing Daises,” as well as her extensive work on stage (most notably as Glinda in Broadway’s “Wicked”) has a new book out April 14, “A Little Bit Wicked: Life, Love, and Faith in Stage.” In it, the outspoken Christian details a list of…

And besides, “Gossip Girl” makes…

Even though we might agree that “Kings” has a lot of religion going on, whether it’s a good show that lives up…

Despite the rain pouring down here in New York City, despite the recession, despite the unsettling feelings pervading so much of our lives these days, another Opening Day is here for Major League Baseball.
