Idol Chatter

Is it just me, or does it feel like Muslims are still viewed as being on the outskirts of society in North America, though polls and statistics say the opposite? Consider popular CNN talk show host Glenn Beck, who last fall began an interview with the first Muslim congressman, Keith Ellison, with “Sir, prove to…

Last night’s “Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip” (yes, still on television, briefly, as it finishes airing its remaining original episodes) was so faith-focused, it’s hard to know where to start. The show had largely abandoned its obsession with the culture wars to become more of a romantic drama focusing on Danny and Jordan’s growing…

While studios like Fox are busy trying to ramp up their production of entertainment marketed to the Christian community, Christian media moguls like David Kirkpatrick aren’t interested in seeking Hollywood’s favor. Instead, Kirkpatrick, a former executive at Paramount, wants Hollywood to come to him. Last year Kirkpatrick, along with pollster George Barna and former E!…

Last night “Traveler“–in its third episode–maintained the breakneck pace of its two-hour premier. Between the nonstop action and music to set the we’re-not-going-to-let-you-even-breath mood, “Traveler” is proving itself as the new “24”. Jay Burchell and Tyler Fog are desperate, on the run from an entire nation watching out for these two young men wanted by…

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…
