Idol Chatter

Just as fashion magazines regularly christen every color of the rainbow to be “the new black” for the season, Hollywood A-listers seem to be saying so long to last season’s Kabbalah and hello to Scientology. “Scientology is the Kabbalah of 2007,” Jared Shapiro, news and entertainment director for Life&Style Weekly, told FoxNews.com. Though this religion…

President Charles Logan was among the most unattractive and disrespected characters ever to appear on the “24” series in all of its seasons. We expect the criminals to be vile, devious, and deviant, but Mr. Logan was the Honorable President of the United States who was personally a super-big wannabe with super-tiny self-esteem–who lead neither…

Watching TV these days is sort of like a travelogue in prime time as the slick and trendy shots of Boston, Miami, Las Vegas, and New York are beamed into the homes of over-cubicled and under-vacationed Americans each night. These are the shows that we actually want to be in for those few seconds after…

How much do we love Battlestar Galactica? Not only does this show deliver some of the most erotically charged, unconventional love scenes on television, but it also satiates our less carnal appetites while delivering some of the most metaphysical and thought-provoking programming in recent years. From the very beginning the show has incorporated elements of…

How did you feel last week? Was everything running as normal, but something–something you couldn’t put your finger on–was different? Did you notice a certain “hotness” missing, even though the weather was mild? Perhaps you too were suffering from PHWS–Paris Hilton Withdrawal Syndrome. In a delightfully devious experiment, the Associated Press decided to blackout all…

A few months ago Idol Chatter noted that Episcopalians had taken to piping U2 songs into their churches, a phenomenon that’s not surprising, given lead singer Bono‘s coy but steady relationship with Christianity and the group’s redemptive musical themes. Evangelical kids have considered the band fellow travelers for years and have been often rewarded by…

Britney’s in and out of rehab. Everyone is still focusing on what might have happened to Anna Nicole. Maybe the media won’t notice if we adopt another kid. That’s what my more cynical side imagines the thought process might have been like for Brangelina as the couple considered adopting their third child, which they reportedly…

I had heard of Tao restaurant and nightclub in its New York City setting, so why should I have been surprised to see it in Las Vegas as well? Situated in the sumptuous Venetian hotel, Tao has two prominent advertising campaigns around town. One carries the, ahem, “sensual” promise, “Always a Happy Ending.” The other,…

How much would you pay for a 16-ounce pouch of dirt from Israel? Five hundred dollars? Fifty? No, no, silly. Try 20 bucks. That’s right. For only about twice the price of a one-pound bag of Starbucks’ Sumatran extra bold, you can now own a bag of “100% genuine Israeli Soil,” thanks to a company…

Poor Hurley. Ever since this loveable “Lost” survivor won the lottery, he has suffered continuously: First, his grandpa Tito died. Second, the first house Hurley bought his mother burned down. Third, his best friend ran off with his girlfriend. Fourth, while visiting his accountant he sees a man commit suicide by jumping off the building.…
