Idol Chatter

The Church of England is taking on the “Fall of Man,” and we aren’t talking about Adam and Eve. No, this time they are battling the multimedia serpent known as Sony. CNN reports that Manchester, England church leaders “have accused Sony of the “desecration” of the [Manchester] cathedral after the firm set the top-selling new…

While many artists are out there stumping for their own music, it is such a delight to find albums that promote something more important than the artists themselves–a good cause. “Instant Karma”, a new two-CD set, is doing just that for the Campaign to Save Darfur. Amnesty International has teamed up with Warner Bros. to…

In Dante’s “Divine Comedy,” the soul of Paris, the mythological King of Troy, is battered eternally by gale-force winds for partaking in the sin of lust. And, while one could draw a comparison to Paris Hilton’s in-and-out incarcerations, it seems more analogous to our experience, dear readers: We are constantly blown about by the hot…

In a summer of blockbuster sequels and mixed reviews, I found the latest sequel, “Ocean’s Thirteen,” to be surprisingly fun and wonderfully done. Even though it wasn’t very new. Where “Ocean’s Twelve” sought to go deeper but confounded audiences and fans with its complexity, “Ocean’s Thirteen” moves closer to the original, both in plot and…

HBO’s “Big Love” promises delights and intrigue in its second season, as it premieres on its new night tonight at 9 p.m. (ET). Compared to last year, the second season is more comfortable in both its dramatic and comedic skin. The show’s unusual premise was well established last season: Can a man living a closeted…

Someone I know once said, in reference to the poorly received season six of HBO’s “The Sopranos,” “What does David Chase care, he’s living in a f–king castle in France.” Now I don’t know if Chase lives in a castle in France, nor will I spare the time to Google it, since the point is…

To paraphrase the titular character, “Some things I know, and some things I do’’t know. But I know that I won’t be watching this show again.” Unlike fellow blogger Valerie Reiss, I didn’t have the benefit of multiple advance copies of HBO’s new series, “John From Cincinnati,” (a spiritual portrayal of the surfing culture in…

Media outlets yet again had a field day today when everyone’s favorite celebutante, Paris Hilton, was ordered back to jail–one day after being released by the L.A. Sheriff’s Department, who had released Hilton to serve out the rest of her sentence at home for medical reasons. “Mom, Mom, it’s not right!” Paris was heard crying…

In the new HBO series, “John from Cincinnati,” The Yosts are a wildly dysfunctional, furious family of three generations of surfers in California, near the Mexico border. We meet the Yosts in the midst of a meltdown that’s been going on for years—they’ve been wrecked by injury, drugs, rage, and surfing. A stranger, John, has…

Dr. Burke has been asked to scrub out of “Grey’s Anatomy” for good. Entertainment Weekly reports that ABC Studios will not renew Isaiah Washington’s contract with the hit show, due to what they call “a pattern of suspicious behavior by Washington that, according to press reports, goes back as far as 1997 on the set…
