Idol Chatter

Yesterday was a bad day. A no-good, low-down, rotten, miserable scum of a day. I won’t offer details because they are a combination of melodrama and mundane, and you’ve all been there. I wanted to bang my head against a tree. I wanted to fix a strong drink–maybe seven of ’em. And then a small…

As someone who has never been a fan of the soap opera wrestling you see on TV, but who has been around it her whole life (both of my parents are long-time fans, dating back to the ’70s), I was very upset to learn World Wresting Entertainment (WWE) wrestler Chris Benoit murdered his wife Nancy…

Have you ever noticed how many South Asian doctors there are in the United States these days, but none on “Gray’s Anatomy”? So has Labid Aziz. The filmmaker and aspiring television producer, profiled in the Boston Globe yesterday, is hoping he and the growing numbers of South Asian Muslims in show business will change how…

No, the guy to the right isn’t on the FBI’s Most Wanted list–though I’m sure with his wide eyes and poofy beard and hair, he’s been told more than once that he looks like a crazed madman. For those who need an introduction, he’s none other than David Crowder of the hugely successful Christian rock…

I was completely obsessed with the famous French singer Edith Piaf when I was in high school. I would spend hours and hours playing her records until I could do a passable imitation of “Non, je ne regrette rien” in front of my bedroom mirror. Although I was too young to have the regrets mentioned…

It wasn’t quite Saul/Paul’s blinding conversion on the road to Damascus, but when Paris Hilton emerged from the Lynwood Women’s Correctional Facility last night sans blue contact lenses, I thought two things: 1) She’s a really pretty girl without the faux blue blinkers, and 2) You go, girl! Like many people, I openly derided Hilton’s…

The Associated Press (via MSNBC.com) is reporting that Germany has declared filming at certain military sites “verboten” for a future Tom Cruise film–thanks to his affiliation with Scientology, which the German governement does not recognize as a religion, but as a cult. “Valkyrie,” which tells the story of the unsuccessful assassination attempt of Adolph Hitler…

Who really “knocked up” Katherine Heigl’s character in the film of the same name? Was it co-star Seth Rogen’s character? Or was it really a film character crossover from Steven Spielberg’s controversial film “Munich”?If you’ve seen the film, you know what I mean. Those of you who haven’t can watch the clip below:If we think…

Perhaps no singer brings more spiritual baggage to a CD entitled “Theology” than controversial Irish songstress Sinead O’Connor. The singer, who tore up a picture of the Pope on “Saturday Night Live” years ago and claimed once to be ordained as a priest, has always mentioned religion and God in some way or another in…

Walking into the Sherry Lansing Theater at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles last Thursday, I knew it wasn’t going to be an easy evening. While looking forward to the screening of “A Mighty Heart”–as I had read the Marianne Pearl memoir it was based on about three years ago–I dreaded the expected feelings of despair…
