Idol Chatter

Paris Hilton found the Bible–or at least “The Bible for Dummies”/”Idiots Guide to the Bible,” according to inside sources–and the self-help blockbuster “The Secret” while incarcerated, but rival starlet Lindsay Lohan has decided to outdo her frenemy‘s literary forays by keeping Machiavelli’s “The Prince” close at hand while in rehab. As the troubled starlet told…

When I was growing up, my mom taught me there were three things not to talk about in public: religion, sex and politics. Don’t worry, this post won’t be about sex! But Republican Mitt Romney’s candidacy is igniting conversations about religion and politics all over the country, and that conversation is either spilling over into…

Unless you’re a true Hollywood insider (or a N.Y. Times magazine reader), you’ve never heard of Milton Katselas. But this veteran acting coach is responsible for shaping countless souls into true actors. Head of an acting school called the Beverly Hills Playhouse, Katzelas’s students and admirers include Giovanni Ribisi, Tony Danza, Patrick Swayze, and Michelle…

Time, the newsweekly that caused a stir in the mid-60’s by asking “Is God Dead?”, opens this week’s issue with an essay tracing reports of the Deity’s most recent demise to Harry Potter. As the world awaits the release of J.K. Rowling’s final installment of the Potter series, Time’s arts critic, Lev Grossman, charges that…

The lead feature going out to America Online’s millions of subscribers this weekend named the Top Twenty Protest Songs of All-Time, from spinner.com’s “The Hit List.” I thought it was a decent start, but the list lacked some that are my favorites just for the music, and others that are my favorites for the message…

Barry Bonds waits in full uniform in a hallway at PacBell park, waiting for a man to drop by with an item Bonds has told the guy to rush because he just can’t play without it. Steroids? No, an earring in the shape of a cross that Bonds has worn since 1986. An article in…

Deputy Chief Brenda Lee Johnson (Kyra Sedgwick)–with her southern twang, her infamous, sweet-sounding “thank you’s,” and her hard as nails interrogation tactics–is not only back in full force for season three of “The Closer,” but she has taken this series to a whole new level. If you haven’t yet seen “The Closer,” queu Netflix for…

I’ve always been fascinated with the dark side. In college I contemplated going Goth–inasmuch as a Hot Topic shirt could take me to the dark side. I once flipped through a copy of the Satanic Bible–not because I was up for conversion; I was merely curious. And to this day I watch scary movies because…

I knew Paula Abdul was Jewish, but in this video, she talks with two Orthodox rabbis at a Chabad house about lighting Shabbat candles, praying, and living Jewish, as they compliment her dedication and assure us it’s real. Props to The Forward and the LA Jewish Journal for posting bringing this to our attention:
