Idol Chatter

Sharon Stone was caught by reporters on a Cannes red carpet and asked what she thought of the earthquake in China. (Funny, but do they ever ask George Bush or U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon what they thought of “If These Walls Could Talk 2”?) Stone was happy to discourse on the spiritual implications of…

I don’t know how I, watcher for all-things Christian chastity culture-related, missed this big New York Times feature, “Dancing the Night Away, With a Higher Purpose,” by Neela Banerjee, from last week about the growing popularity of the Purity Ball. A Purity Ball, writes Banerjee, is a formal dance where “men st[and] and read aloud…

I just wanted to make a few quick remarks about my wonderful, Indiana Jones movie adventure this weekend… First of all, finally(!): the return of the true, non-stop fun, adventure flick. Whatever happened to that old-fashioned, Indiana Jones-style action adventure, I found myself wondering as I left the theater this weekend after seeing “Indiana Jones…

John McCain may have sealed the Republican nomination, but apparently libertarian Ron Paul’s supporters are not only hanging on, they are approaching his continued campaign with all the fervor of religious zealots, according to a New York Times Sunday Styles section article, “It’s Not a Campaign, It’s a Mission,” by Alex Williams.

The hip-hop heavy collection entered the Billboard 200 at #10— tobyMac’s highest showing ever—and this year, with his Diverse City band, he’s been dubbed best Christian act by anyone who makes such distinctions, including the…

In this funny clip from “Family Guy,” Lois become the church’s new organist and tells the family she wants them to start going to church more often.

With one of pop culture’s favorite heroes having just returned to the big screen in “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” after too many years away, many sites are posting their all-time favorite Indiana Jones moments. I for one have been taking a walk down memory lane by renting the DVDs this…

Having been a David Cook supporter all season, I was biting my nails a lot during last night’s two hour “American Idol” finale.
