Harry Potter fans still mourning over the end of the book series can rejoice: They’ll be treated to an extra film version of the “The Deathly Hallows.” Even though the first six books were condensed on film, the seventh book will be (seemingly) filmed in its entirety and then split into two. CNN.com quoted producer…

Remember back in the late 90s and early 2000s when you couldn’t flip open a lifestyle section or magazine without seeing at least one article about outrageous Bar and Bat Mitvahs? The progenitor of the MTV “My Super Sweet Sixteen”-style shindig, these “Bash Mitzvahs,” as New York Magazine dubbed them in 1998, involved extravagant themes,…

Certainly one of the tenets of my day-to-day spiritual walk is the firm belief that whatever is done in darkness will eventually come to light. So while I am not into celebrity gossiping or tabloid-mongering, I had to smile for just a moment when I read on Page Six of the New York Post the…

I loved Amy Adams so much in “Enchanted” that I’d be willing to…

Our friends over at Time Life sent us five box sets of “Songs 4 Ever: The Ultimate Christian Music Collection.” The set is comprised of 10 CDs, featuring hit songs by Amy Grant, Kathy Troccoli, Michael…

With the recent discovery that yet another memoir to hit the bookshelves was entirely fabricated, the latest being “Love and Consequences”–the Margaret A. Jones tall tale of being raised by a gang-banging foster family which led to her life of drug-running–it seems that a new literary trend is upon us, one signaling that we are…

When I saw this article as a link in one of my daily media e-newsletters, I could barely believe the title. Was it that it was “too soon” for a fictionalized account of Heath Ledger’s final days, or was the whole idea wildly inappropriate, however many months or years pass since Ledger’s January death? I…
