Idol Chatter

Kathie Lee Gifford is back on TV, hosting the fourth hour of NBC’s mammoth hit “Today Show.” This week, she’s been asking audience members trivia questions about marriage and weddings. One of the questions was about why people traditionally wear rings on the fourth finger, and the “C” answer choice mentioned pagans. Kathie Lee decided…

Will Smith has a long history of “owning” the box office during the 4th of July holiday. He’s had more movies open in the top slot during the holiday than any other movie star I can think of. So it will be interesting to see the reaction to “Hancock.” It has a smart premise –…

Alec Baldwin is hilarious on ’30 Rock,’ and it turns out he’s pretty funny in real life too.

It’s ad campaign certainly suggests so and the film itself is…

Most of us will be cooking out and watching fireworks this Fourth of July, but just in case your festivities get rained out or you’re looking for something for the family to watch together, here are some of my favorite movies that celebrate our Independence Day and the quest for the American Dream. [I am…

It’s pretty much inevitable that sometime this summer you’ll hear Katy Perry’s hit single “I Kissed a Girl” blaring out of someone’s car, or in a dance club, or in a department store, if you haven’t already. And, if you aren’t looking for any kind of spiritual enlightenment and just want to hear a cool…
