Idol Chatter

Tori Spelling has had a lot of roles, from Donna Martin on “Beverly Hills, 90210” to whatever that girl’s name was in the trashtastic Lifetime movie “Mother, May I Sleep With Danger?”. In real life, she’s had just as diverse a resume in the last couple of years. Let’s see: She was daddy’s little girl,…

Baseball’s All-Star Game was televised in prime time again last night, and it continues to endure as an underrated, understated institution that stands as the finest and brightest of all of the major sports’ all-star games. Why is that? A large part of the American viewing public–and, increasingly, the world’s viewers–have a special spot in…

Watching “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” late, late at night with an audience younger than me and far more into the wizarding world than me was a fascinating reminder of why Harry Potter has become an iconic representation of the Gen Y/Millenialists who have grown up with him. In the darkest chapter…

“Live Earth: Ratings Blockbuster” it was not, but “Live Earth: Concerts for a Climate in Crisis” still drew a record web-audience and drew decent enough television ratings to raise some bucks and hopefully generate increased awareness for the cause. With over 100 pop/rock/soul acts performing at nine venues around the world, there was much to…

Thanks to our friends at Mixed Multitudes for the heads up about the latest site in the ever-burgeoning Jewish web world: JewTube.com. Yes, our very own YouTube. The site gets points for being clean and uncluttered, though the there doesn’t seem to be any way to find any information about a video before clicking to…

If you could have any superpower, what would it be? Flight? Heat vision? The ability to shoot spiderwebs out of your wrists? And then there are the myriad accessories, gadgets and cool rides that go along with being a superhero: cool boots, the Batmobile, tights … and of course a Star of David paddle that…

There are few things one can count on in life other than death, taxes, and the fact that people will be dressed as stormtroopers at San Diego Comic-Con. But now we can add the bastion of pop-culture punditry known as “The Simpsons” to that list. Reuters reports that a ten-minute clip of “The Simpsons Movie”…

Like many in the nation this week, I took advantage of the gloomy fourth of July weather and headed into the dry confines of the local cineplex to take in “Transformers.” My expectations were mixed: Many renderings of favorite cartoons on the big screen have been less than stellar (“He-Man,” “The Flintstones”), but coming from…
