Idol Chatter

Speaking of confessions, I’m not Catholic and I don’t know much about the Sacrament of Penance (or Reconciliation) except for what I’ve seen in the movies and on television. I certainly don’t know anyone that goes to traditional confession, though lapsed friends will stumble into a random Mass or give up something for Lent like…

Read “The Secret” and thought you knew it all? Apparently you don’t. A new movie, “The Moses Code,” by James Twyman, opening the weekend of April 5-6, features some of the biggest spiritual and inspirational authors and speakers–Debbie Ford, James Van Praagh, Dr. Iyanla Vanzant, Neale Donald Walsch, and others–talking about how Moses was given…

In this clip from the new Disney film, “College Road Trip,” Donny Osmond’s nerdy character, Doug, takes saying “goodbye” to Martin Lawrence’s character to the extreme. embedVideo(1460783975,1460867924);

“Rock of Love,” VH1’s “The Bachelor”-style dating show starring ’80s glam rock band Poison’s lead singer Bret Michaels, is my favorite guilty pleasure TV show. That said, I never thought I would have a reason to write about it on Idol Chatter–until now. Let me catch you up to speed. Season 1’s winner, Jes, dumped…

It seems more and more of the media are no longer afraid to take shots at Scientology and the celebs who may or may not be a part of their flock. The latest expose of the cult–and it seems like there is one every week now–will hit newsstands next week as Radar magazine makes the…

Starting with this week, the third week of the Oprah Winfrey/Eckhart Tolle “A New Earth” Web Event, I’ll be posting here on what I gleaned from the live “class” held each Monday evening at Oprah.com (9/8c) (you can also watch the classes here on Beliefnet) and from the corresponding chapter in the Eckhart Tolle book,…

A talented beauty whose career has been eclectic and impressive even from her early years, Natalie Portman is the reigning Jewish princess of Hollywood (even unbesmirched by her Padme/Amidala years). As actresses go, she’s fairly modest, a good role model (ok, “Closer” will not be hitting the family values multiplex anytime soon), and a compassionate…

While Easter cantatas are in their final stages of dress rehearsal all over America this week, I thought I would take a moment to reflect on my favorite songs that I feel symbolize the meaning of Holy Week for me—the songs that will certainly be playing on my iPod over the next few days. As…

Don’t let the fact that “Under the Same Moon (La Misma Luna)” is a subtitled movie deter you from heading to the theaters. Otherwise, you will miss a charming film with radiant characters and heartfelt storylines. Rosario (Kate del Castillo) is an illegal immigrant in L.A. and a single mother to nine-year-old Carlitos (Adrián Alonso)…
