Well, if you’re tiring of the Olympics, or can’t afford the gas to drive to a movie theatre, or can’t afford the popcorn after you buy the gas, there’ll be a relevant, interesting, and hopefully inspiring show that you can see live via webcast on Saturday night. This will be a first-of-its-kind event where both…

It’s tragic enough that singer-songwriter Isaac Hayes died Sunday at the age of 65. But according to an article by Roger Friedman on Fox News.com, Scientology may have played a role in the singer’s death–which was just today ruled the result of a stroke. You may remember that back in March 2006, Hayes very publicly…

It’s cause for wonder that a biopic of Billy Graham, “America’s pastor,” hasn’t been made before. And perhaps it’s a blessing too. As the national release date for “Billy: The Early Years” nears (Oct. 10, according to a press release), the blue-red, Christian-secular cultural crossfire seems to have died to a quiet murmur compared to…

Together, they overcome sexism and prejudice to bring the team to victory.…

Ah, finally, day 4, and the Olympics have finally officially started for me. Nope, the run-up and the hype didn’t do it. Every sports event this side of the World Poker Championships has a big build-up. No, the opening festivities–while, um, festive–didn’t do it. There are pageants all over the world. Yes, the USA’s dramatic…

After roughly two weeks of virtually ignoring the National Enquirer’s breaking news of former presidential candidate John Edwards leaving a hotel after reportedly meeting with former employee Rielle Hunter– whom the magazine had previously claimed was having an affair with Edwards–the media outlets are now covering the story of the now admitted-to affair from practically…

Add another one, Neil Diamond, to your “Done Too Soon” lyrics: Bernie Mac is gone at 50. Although he rose from a poor upbringing to become a household comedic name, there was always a sense that there was more genius there, more exposure to come, more lives to touch, and more fulfillment for a genius…

Earlier this summer, a celebrity’s son ran over his daughter in a car. The daughter was killed. The son had to deal with the guilt. And, the celebrity is a Christian singer who is gifted, beloved and above reproach, a clear star through over two decades. And the daughter was adopted from China. Last Thursday…
