Idol Chatter

So last season I stopped watching “Lost” a few episodes from the end because I got bored. I was especially tired of the flashbacks. (I was to the point where I’d just fast forward through them–am I alone on this one?) But a few weeks ago I caved and caught up on what I missed…

After seeing “New In Town,” the romantic comedy starring Harry Connick Jr. and Renée Zellweger that releases nationwide on January 30th, I was lucky enough to do a Q&A with the handsome crooner, himself, over the phone (his accent is pretty wonderful, I gotta say). After some introductions and congrats about the new movie, Connick…

The new documentary “Blessed is the Match” tells the true story of Hannah Senesh, a Jewish woman who became a resistance fighter and paratrooper during World War II and helped save many lives.

What is it about Latin American countries and the Blessed Virgin? First there was the Mexican Playboy featuring a sexy Mary on the cover. And now, according to Reuters, fashion designer Ricardo Oyarzun has “sparked outrage in Chile by dressing up models like the Virgin Mary — in some cases with ample, near-naked breasts.” The…

By Gareth Higgins The Sundance film festival is in full swing, with the quaint and cold streets of tiny Park City, Utah swarming with movie fans, celebrities, and entertainment lawyers. Sundance is the world’s best known festival of independent film, and every year the industry’s representatives flock to Robert Redford’s personal movie club in hopes…

The poor Grammys have a tough road. (If you don’t know what the Grammys are, then that will prove my point even further!) January is a pop culture tour de force, complete with the Golden Globe Awards, the launch of super popular TV shows such as “American Idol” and “24,” The Inauguration (or State of…

I have no idea how I missed this tidbit of insight from a Hollywood celebrity. Spike Lee went on MSNBC a few days ago and made the declaration that God caused all of the economic woes we are experiencing just so Barack could be president. I realize posting this on Inauguration Day just seems downright…

If you’ve got some people together–or just have the TV on–and the Inauguration events are getting boring, check out “History in the Making Week” on The History Channel. If they’d have taught history like this in school, I’d have been interested! Leading the line-up is “The Presidents,” a great series of one-hour shows which each…

President Obama is a rock star! He and his family have shown up at more parties, events, gatherings, celebrations, fundraisers and other pre-Inauguration activities than movie stars on Oscar night. And the cameras have been there. Therefore, this may be the first month of my adult life that I’m happy about what my daughters will…

From a television–and pop culture– point of view this has been one of the longest, dramatic, and most entertaining Presidential races of all time. And it comes to an end today with the swearing in of Barack H. Obama as the first African-American President of the United States, and first post-baby-boomer President as well. If…
