Idol Chatter

In a world where promise rings and promiscuity can go hand in hand, it’s often hard for young people to draw the line and set themselves apart from their peers who “don’t see nothing wrong with a little bump and grind.” Or those who don’t see anything wrong with a little self-love. But for those…

Kate Gosselin, star of TLC’s hit reality show, “Jon & Kate Plus 8” recently spoke to Beliefnet about raising a large family on a budget, how she deals with sibling rivalry, and the one thing she’s dreading about her children getting older. Check out the interview and post your thoughts below.

Though I may be a little late to appreciate the trend, I have become really fascinated with the whole explosion of movie content on the web these days. There’s a new company headed up by Oscar winner Rob Fried that allows you to watch, and send to someone else, a variety of short films.Instead of…

What would you do if a celebrity tried to convert you? Well, I suppose with all the pop culture/spirituality overlap in my life and work, it was bound to happen: Stephen Baldwin tried to convert my friend over the weekend. Benyamin Cohen, author of My Jesus Year: A Rabbi’s Son Wanders the Bible Belt in…

Nobody does bloody like Quentin Tarantino, with his chatty rat-a-tat dialogue that matches a machine gun that makes the same noises.

I was reminded of the full length feature, by a recent New York Times…

My enthusiasm for this year’s Oscar extravaganza is at an all-time low, as I am disappointed in many of Oscar’s choices. Still, I can’t help but make my usual Oscar predictions. I like my odds this year of being right, but feel free to check back on Monday and jeer if I completely miss the…

It makes sense that, when young Christian rockers began to struggle free of the mannered CCM format, they would gravitate toward emo, the brooding, melodic rock genre that trades punk’s teenage angst for teenage “issues.” Exhibit A: The Fray, a band of Christian believers from Denver, had a strong debut with “How to Save a…

One of the best and most important awards galas took place Wednesday night. And no, you won’t see any replays on E! TV Network. And no, there won’t be much media banter about what everyone was wearing. I’m not even sure there was a red carpet. But if you’re a person of faith, you should…
