Idol Chatter

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…

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…

Billy Ray plays Miley’s dad on the…

In honor of Passover, check out this hilarious (and well done!) music video detailing all the wonderful things you can do with unleavened bread.

This Wednesday night, Jews worldwide will sit down for the Passover seder, an organized meal with a set order of rituals and readings, which are compiled in the Haggadah. At our seders (Jews outside of Israel generally have two), I know we’ll talk about Passover, what we’re up to in our respective lives, and all…

The CW series “Gossip Girl” has not only made sniping–among both the younger sexes–ubiquitous, but it’s glamorized it, too. It’s not that middle school and high school students never talked behind each other’s backs before, or but the internet has taken forums for this nasty behavior to a new level. And besides, “Gossip Girl” makes…
