Idol Chatter

After three albums, a string of hit singles (including six No. 1 songs and eleven Top 5 hits), major tours with some of the biggest names in the business, and various awards (including a Dove Award for Modern Rock Album of the Year), Christian rockers Sanctus Real have kicked things up a notch with their…

It seems that Kabbalah super-couple Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher may be distancing themselves from the religion, reports MSNBC.com. Sources tell “The Scoop” that the May-December duo haven’t attended services or Shabbat dinner at L.A.’s Kabbalah Center for months and “that Kutcher was just last week spotted shopping on Robertson Blvd. without his trademark red…

I love movies, music, books, blogs and just about anything in our culture that helps us be inspired to consider deeper meanings and messages in life. However, I’m getting confused lately at the new line-up of TV stars, which includes the likes of Obama, Hillary, McCain, Romney, and Huckabee. A growing amount of television time…

There was a time—especially back in the 1940’s, 1950’s and 1960’s, where Westerns made up a large portion of a year’s annual movies. From Roy Rogers to John Wayne to Clint Eastwood, from the days of cowboys-and-Indians to the towns of the spaghetti westerns, generations were enthralled and inspired. But recently, well-done Westerns are few…

Just last week, I proclaimed my renewed loyalty to “Friday Night Lights” as it righted some of its obvious wrongs from earlier in the season. I still stand by that decision, but last Friday’s episode frustrated me because it highlighted another “FNL” weakness this season: The Christian characters on the show are really boring. Now…

Did the Oscars just happen? If you weren’t watching, you might have missed it last night! There was the red carpet. Stars showed up. They wore designer clothes and had their hair done. All of the entertainment networks covered it. Almost no stars skipped it. It was everything Oscar usually is except for the extra…

If you haven’t seen it yet, you soon will. It’s making the rounds around the Web faster than Tom Cruise’s hyena-esque clip and it’s far more disturbing. A group calling themselves Anonymous is out to expose and “systematically dismantle” Scientology and is throwing down the gauntlet on YouTube after enlisting hackers the world over to…

Several documentaries have focused on the plight of the people of Darfur recently (“Darfur Now”) but one that has made the top ten list of several of my favorite film critics is “The Devil Came On Horseback”. While it is not exactly an uplifting, Friday night, kick back with some popcorn kind of movie, it…

I don’t know what it is that causes people to share the most intimate details of their personal lives with complete strangers, but I’ve had dozens of music artists tell me that it happens to them almost every night after a show. Fans often tell them about their struggle with anxiety or cutting, or their…

The Victorians, for all of their oppressive foibles, knew how to do death right. Sure, the intricate details and prescriptions of protracted mourning periods, sometimes of years, were surely a cause of much consternation, but the Victorians understood what we seemingly do not in this age of immediate access: That grief needs time and space.…
