Idol Chatter

Disney couldn’t do it, though “The Chronicles of Narnia” was a darned good try. New Line didn’t connect with audiences with “The Nativity Story.” But if anyone can recreate the box-office magic that Mel Gibson found in “The Passion of the Christ,” shouldn’t it be David Kirkpatrick, co-founder of Good News Holdings, a Christian media…

When the credits rolled for “Gracie” I couldn’t leave. I wanted to see every last second of this extraordinary film, which opened last week, about a fifteen-year-old girl, Gracie, who works through the loss of a favorite older brother by throwing her heart and soul into making the high school varsity soccer team–the male varsity…

Paris Hilton is a free woman. I repeat, Paris Hilton is a free woman–well, sort of. The celebutante was released from the Century City Correctional Facility early this morning, report celebrity gossip purveyors TMZ.com and Perezhilton.com. The L.A. County Sheriff’s Department is set to have a press conference later this afternoon. CBS and the Associated…

Entertainment Weekly has posted video of the top three “American Idol” finalists visiting the magazine’s offices, and once again, I am reminded that Melinda Doolittle was just about the classiest, most talented contestant the show has seen. In the five-minute segment EW.com posted, Mindy Doo displays the same humility and intelligence she showed every week…

Gossip site TMZ.com is reporting that Mark Dice, a Christian conspiracy theorist, and his group of like-minded individuals called “The Resistance,” were no-shows at a promised “Pray for Paris” rally/incarceration celebration at The Beverly Hilton last night. “TMZ camera’s were on hand to catch what was supposed to be a riled-up group as they trashed…

With television sitcoms becoming an almost extinct species these days, it might seem like ratings suicide to air a sitcom as old-fashioned as TBS’s “Tyler Perry’s House of Payne,” which debuts tonight. The premise of more than one generation of a close knit African American family living under one roof seems like a blue-collar throwback…

Hallelujah! (And you don’t have to bleep that out!) After watching the rude-and-crude MTV movie awards and readying to post a blog that would have leaked a bit too much anger and frustration at what television is still becoming, some good news arrived. The frustration came from the MTV movie awards; the inspiration came from…

It was little more than two years ago that Tyler Perry seemed to come from nowhere–actually, it was from the African-American theater scene–to see his debut film, “Diary of a Mad Black Woman,” gross more than $50 million. That made this formerly homeless man of faith one of the hottest filmmakers in Hollywood. How big…

It seems that Moby is stepping into the religious weather man role now that Jerry Falwell has passed on. Last week, the musician asked in his online journal, “You know how the religious right will every now and then say that some natural disasters (hurricanes, earthquakes, etc.) happen because God is angry at secular sinners?…

Though he started out writing some of the most sparkling comedy on television back in the ’90s (“Freaks and Geeks,” “The Ben Stiller Show”) director/writer Judd Apatow has been given the dubious distinction of producing a new genre of film–romantic comedies for men. Following up the box office success of “The Forty Year Old Virgin”–a…
