Idol Chatter

I feel a certain amount of pride that I’m one of the folks who jumped on the Mormon Mom Stephenie Meyer “Twilight” bandwagon back when the very first book was still in galleys. I remember getting the bound paperback ARC (Advanced Reader’s Copy) from an editor friend with only a Post-It attached to the front…

For this weeks summer movie trivia question I thought I’d try the flip side of last week’s movie question about angels, and started thinking about the famous actors who have played Satan, Lucifer, Beelzebub–you get the idea. So today I’m asking: How many Oscar winners have played Satan–not a demon, not just a supernaturally evil…

In this exclusive clip from the movie “Henry Poole Is Here”–opening in wide release on August 15th– a man who’s lost his faith (Luke Wilson) is told he has only a short time to live, but is shown a “miracle” on the side of his home. Will it restore his hope? embedVideo(1659819541);

Just beyond the storied pool at the Beverly Hills Hilton, the television networks are busy parading their new shows to the nation’s TV critics. Diverse luminaries from Benjamin Braff to Ludacris to Spike Lee, mill around in the halls and answer press questions, while newsman Bob Woodruff and rocker Tommy Lee check in via satellite.…

I was looking forward to last Friday’s “Hellboy” sequel for a number of reasons: 1. Guillermo del Toro directing (I’m a sucker for fantasy flicks and I don’t know a single person who didn’t enjoy “Pan’s Labyrinth”); 2. More Abe Sapien screen time; 3.

Writing about family secrets has always been a death sentence for celebrity family ties. Britney Spears is allegedly still outraged about Mama Spears’s book coming out later this year. Jennifer Aniston is supposedly still distant from her mom because she spoke to the press years ago, and the same goes for Angelina Jolie and her…

“The Dark Knight,” sequel to “Batman Begins,” opens this weekend. Featuring the final performance by the late Heath Ledger as the Joker, the movie is by far the most anticipated of the year and has already started selling out tickets for midnight showings. Find out what all the hype is about in this trailer.And click…

You may know Jon Foreman best as the lead singer and guitarist for the incredibly successful rock band Switchfoot (“Meant to Live,” “Dare You to Move). But are you familiar with his solo projects? Late last year, Foreman released two EPs–“Fall and Winter,” and just last month released the follow-up EPs, “Spring and Summer.” Beliefnet…

Okay, there’s some cynicism brewing out there about today’s sale at a London auction house of John Lennon’s scrawled lyrics to “Give Peace a Chance.” Gail Renard, a Canadian television writer who lives in London, parted with the scrap of cardboard, on which Lennon’s penned the song during his 1969 lie-in for peace with Yoko…

Esquire Magazine’s August 2008 cover is of none other than the king of comedy (at least according to me), Stephen Colbert, posing as a jolly St. Sebastian! St. Sebastian is the Patron Saint of, among many other things, athletes, and he is always portrayed with a number of arrows stuck painfully into his body (complete…
