Idol Chatter

Yes, it is official that the Writers Guild of America has reached an agreement with Hollywood producers to go back to work, and while I join my fellow blogger Donna in celebrating that the writers’ received at least some of what they deserved. However, I feel compelled to share with all of you who are…

The beautiful American Dream of baseball, hot dogs, apple pie, and Chevrolet turned briefly into a near-nightmare today as one baseball’s strongest candidates for “hero” status—Roger Clemens—went before Congress to defend himself from allegations that he has used steroids to give himself an illegal advantage over other players.

In what was one of the highlights of last night’s Grammy Awards, Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin performed a moving deut of “Never Gonna Break My Faith” with gospel star BeBe Winans. In addition, gospel artists The Clark Sisters, Trin-I-Tee 5:7, and Isreal and New Breed–who later won the Grammy for Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album,…
