Idol Chatter

Wow, talk about reality TV! Earlier this week, President Obama was on every network. He was Must See TV 2.0, the Rock Star of the campaign trail, the Teleprompter-in-Chief, “No Drama Obama” who is no longer running for office. He is now The Man charged with solving our nation’s problems, which were named Tuesday evening…

We don’t post enough about the “books” part of our culture here at Idol Chatter, so here’s my step in the right direction: there’s a great new book out for anyone who’s a person of faith and a deep thinker called “How We Decide,” by Jonah Lehrer. In Gordon Marino’s review in this week’s Los…

A new force seems to be taking over the airwaves: Twitter! I viewed three morning shows earlier this week and they all invited the audience to join their “Twitter” page throughout the show. Celebrities at the Oscars weren’t supposed to, but some were sneaking in the chance to Twitter. And Tuesday night, the nation saw…

Hard times have come upon many companies, websites and publications.

So Fat Tuesday may be over and fasting has begun, but that doesn’t mean you can’t indulge in a little Ash Wednesday, um, gawk-fest. In honor of today’s Christian holiday, Entertainment Weekly has a Jesus Photo Retrospective of sorts for us in the slideshow: “Acts of God: 12 TV/Movie Jesuses.” They’ve put up stills of…

One of the most successful rock bands in history certainly knows how to exploit today’s technology. Though U2’s first recording in over four years is scheduled to debut on March 3, “No Line on the Horizon” is already getting rave reviews in magazines and U2 fans can listen to the entire album on the band’s…

The public lined up for days. They camped out on the streets. All for a bleacher seat–a chance to see the celebs, the stars, the finest of Hollywood’s crop from this year. And if you couldn’t go there in person, you could watch two hours worth of arrivals on E! Television and another half-hour on…

In this clip from “Watchmen,” based on the 1980s comic book series, a group of crime-fighting superheroes talk about the saving the world from a nuclear war between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. The film opens March 6.
