Idol Chatter

Pedro Almodóvar doesn’t see dead people, but if you tell him that you do, he’ll probably believe it. “I don’t believe that people come from [the afterlife] in a physical way,” the director said when he met with press last month. “But I completely believe the people that talk about them. I’m sure that they…

Once upon an innocent time, Mel Gibson smuggled a print of “The Passion of the Christ” to John Paul II, who reportedly murmured, “It is as it was,” as the credits rolled. Then it turned out JP2 might not have said it at all, or maybe was talking about Propaganda Night at the old Krakow…

Pigs are flying, hell is freezing over, the night has turn to day and the day to night. The impossible has happened: Britney Spears is divorcing Kevin Federline after two long years of marriage. You can’t tell me that you were surprised. Well, maybe surprised that it took this long. Citing the usual “irreconcilable differences,”…

Like every other “Lost” fan, I enjoy theorizing with my fellow addicts, and a recent conversation proved intriguing enough to blog.

For anyone raised Catholic, this video of Jesuit priests lip-syncing Bon Jovi’s “Livin’ on a Prayer” is a special blessing. And yes, wacky wigs notwithstanding, all the men are real priests: here’s the very buttoned-down bio of one. Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam. Totally.

Yet this bio-pic about the true story of activist Patrick…

I honestly thought that by the seventh episode of producer/writer Aaron Sorkin’s backstage drama “Studio 60,” he might choose to start backing off the over-the-top religious rhetoric of past storylines just a wee bit. Shows you just how much I know. Last night’s episode made clear that Sorkin has no intention of letting up any…

Watch a clip from “The Simpsons” Golem story:

The truest “reality TV” of all commences today, as the news networks are lined up for our viewership as much as the candidates are seeking our vote. Why? Because the drama of the entertainment portion of today overlaps with the realities of how our lives will change long after the personalities and accusations of a…

Yes it’s election day and the Ted Haggard story news cycle has probably (hopefully?) run its course. But after the treatment on CNN and Fox, Leno and Letterman, and just about every other news and comedy outlet, I found the most profound comments to be from Beliefnet’s Patton Dodd. Read his story to find some…
