Idol Chatter

Every summer has its song–the one you blast through your car’s open windows and sing along to as the sun beats down on your face, your sweaty legs sticking to leather upholstery, and your hair blowing in the breeze. I remember back when Sisqo’s unfortunate “Thong Song” was the summer song of 2000 and how…

Okay, so I finally caught up on Season Two of HBO’s “Big Love“–a series that I became addicted to in my efforts to critique the show’s treatment of women (whoops)–and this week’s episode, “Vision Thing,” had an interesting twist. We’re all used to critiquing polygamy from our armchairs at home while watching Bill and company…

Was Daniel Radcliffe doing some heavy marketing or a sublime giveaway of the next book’s ending in his recent interview for Entertainment Weekly? After answering some nice questions from Steve Daly about his personal and physical growth, his fame, and comparisons to “Beverly Hills: 90210,” the conversation turned to a comparison (initiated by Radcliffe) between…

After a serious drought, BET–Black Entertainment Television–has redeemed itself with the creation of the reality series, “Baldwin Hills.” It documents the lives of 11—actually make that ten—upper-middle class African-American teens and 1 middle-class outsider. Does the plot sound familiar to you? It should, because it is a clear copy of MTV’s popular “Laguna Beach” series.…

Tori Spelling has had a lot of roles, from Donna Martin on “Beverly Hills, 90210” to whatever that girl’s name was in the trashtastic Lifetime movie “Mother, May I Sleep With Danger?”. In real life, she’s had just as diverse a resume in the last couple of years. Let’s see: She was daddy’s little girl,…

Baseball’s All-Star Game was televised in prime time again last night, and it continues to endure as an underrated, understated institution that stands as the finest and brightest of all of the major sports’ all-star games. Why is that? A large part of the American viewing public–and, increasingly, the world’s viewers–have a special spot in…

Watching “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” late, late at night with an audience younger than me and far more into the wizarding world than me was a fascinating reminder of why Harry Potter has become an iconic representation of the Gen Y/Millenialists who have grown up with him. In the darkest chapter…

“Live Earth: Ratings Blockbuster” it was not, but “Live Earth: Concerts for a Climate in Crisis” still drew a record web-audience and drew decent enough television ratings to raise some bucks and hopefully generate increased awareness for the cause. With over 100 pop/rock/soul acts performing at nine venues around the world, there was much to…

Khaled Hosseini, whose brilliant first novel, “The Kite Runner,” captured the world’s attention with its look at fathers and sons and the evolving relationship between two young boys in Afghanistan, has scored another knockout with his second novel, “A Thousand Splendid Suns.” It recently debuted as the number one book in the nation and held…

The antics of Paris Hilton are such a big story these days that even the non-reporting of her news has become newsworthy. I don’t know what she did that originally made her worthy of stardom, but she certainly has become a bona fide star and a celebrity, if not a lightning rod. The latest incarnation…
