Idol Chatter

Don’t get me wrong, I love Brit-Brit and have been pulling for her to beat her reported battle with bipolar disorder, but last night’s MTV Video Music Awards was such a Britney lovefest that it feels as if a recount should be demanded. Sure, English comedian Russell Brand’s hosting may not have gone over very…

Two big names in the news-talk-entertainment business sent two surprising and completely different signals over the last several days. Oprah Winfrey, perhaps the foremost advocate of opportunities for women, says she will not have Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin on her show. Bill O’Reilly, perhaps one of the foremost conservative voices on television, hosted Democratic…

Not according to me! I am happy to announce that HBO’s “True Blood” is finally here–and I eagerly watched the premiere episode, “Strange Love,” last night. My thoughts so far (and surely there will be more to come): 1) The show is setting up an interesting dichotomy between religion (in particular Christianity) and the vampire…

This weekend I indulged in my new favorite (super) Guilty Pleasure–the season premiere of the CW’s “Gossip Girl.” (It’s also possible I indulged in the new incarnation of “90210” and set up the DVR to tape yet another series premiering this Tuesday on the CW called “Privileged.” I’m becoming hopeless, I know.

The best part about “Hymned Again,” Bart Millard’s second solo album of updated (familiar and unfamiliar) hymns is his powerful and buttery voice. As part of Christian band MercyMe, Millard’s voice is always what stands out, adding that extra punch to the catchy rhythms of the guitars, drums, and keyboard. In “Hymned Again,” Millard’s voice…

Penn Jillette–the taller, louder partner of “Penn and Teller”–has written one of the more insightful and entertaining blogs featured on CNN this week. It’s topics include…

The Washington Post Metro section has an article about a pastor who uses movies to bring spiritual lessons to his congregation. For a special series of sermons this summer, Senior Pastor Rob Seagears at Christ Chapel Mountaintop in Prince William County tied his sermons to whatever movie was top at the box office that week,…

Before you read this item, reggaeton fans, remember: what’s the use of gaining the world if you lose your soul? Hector Delgado, a pioneering practitioner of the Latin rap genre reggaeton, announced yesterday that he’s devoting himself and his musical career to God. “My way now is to serve Christ in spirit and truth,” says…

Hell hath no fury like the media scorned. And their all-out attack on the woman who could be the new feminist icon for a new generation of young women needs to stop. Or, there just need to be some other media outlets who find a way to tell the real story. There was a new…

Say what you want about Madonna, but you always know where you stand with her. For instance, whether you’re Hitler or John McCain, it doesn’t really matter to the controversial Madame Madge: if she goes on tour, you’re going in her slide show lead-in to “Like a Prayer.” In case you’re keeping track, “Like a…
