Idol Chatter

In the world of pop culture blogging and Google Image searching, you learn some valuable lessons. Firstly, there are way too many photos of Britney Spears on the internet. (And some of them are “not safe for work.”) But second to that lesson is if you’re searching for “Amy Winehouse,” adding the word “rehab” to…

I’ve always been curious as to how “Happy Days” and “Charles in Charge” star Scott Baio managed to nab the hottest women in Hollywood. From Heather Locklear to Pamela Anderson, the perennial playboy never lacked for female companionship; but I could never figure out why. Baio doesn’t have typical leading-man looks, hasn’t had a hit…

‘The truth will see you free,” goes the famous saying, but apparently the ‘truth’ itself isn’t free, requiring a commercial break every 90 seconds. At least that’s what I felt like watching last night’s premiere of the highly anticipated new FOX game “Moment of Truth.” The premise of the show–to see if people would tell…

In celebration of Amy Grant’s newly released greatest hits CD, we’re giving away three copies of the album. And, as luck would have it, we recently did some office spring (er, winter) cleaning, and came across 10 awesome autographed Amy Grant posters from her “Simple Things” 2003 album. Want one? Just let us know your…

Who knew? Jamie-Lynn Sigler, best known for her role as Tony’s daughter Meadow on “The Sopranos,” is Jewish–and recently visited Israel with the Birthright Israel program, which runs free tours of Israel for Jewish college students and young adults. The Jewish Telegraphic Agency reports: “Everyone assumes I’m Italian,” says Jamie-Lynn Sigler, 26, with a sigh,…

“Muslim Girl” magazine is celebrating its one year anniversary. Like any other magazine for teen girls, fashion, makeup, television, movies, and music all feature prominently, not to mention advice on dating and boys. Though the magazine does have some content that is not common to teen girl magazines, including monthly articles on issues facing Muslim…

To hear about Heath Ledger’s death yesterday evening was shocking, but to hear this morning that the Reverend Fred Phelps, keeper of the God Hates Fags website, announced that his anti-gay group would be picketing Ledger’s funeral because of his involvement in the Oscar-winning “Brokeback Mountain” was even more shocking. I suppose it shouldn’t have…

In an announcement that surprised many (OK, at least the writers that run in my circle), Salem Communications announced last week that they are ceasing print publication of CCM Magazine. The final issue will be April 2008. For more than 30 years, CCM has been the standard in Christian music publishing and it’s a bit…

First we lost Brad Renfro, and now the New York Times reports that actor Heath Ledger, critically lauded for his performance in the groundbreaking “Brokeback Mountain,” has been found dead in his SoHo apartment. Pills were found near his body, but no cause of death has been reported yet. Heath Ledger most recently gave one…

Unlike some of my other bloggers, try as I might, I just can’t be cynical or grumpy about this year’s Oscar nominations. They are a far cry better than last year’s popular choices of “Little Miss Sunshine” and “The Departed.” Sure I could rant about such politically correct movies as “Michael Clayton” receiving too many…
