Idol Chatter

While I have been enjoying the respite that the final episodes of now cancelled “Studio 60” have given me this month amidst the summer wasteland of TV reruns and reality junk, I have to say that Thursday’s season finale–which ironically lead the series at long last to win the night in the ratings–was a reminder…

Germany is now saying “Wilkommen” to Tom Cruises’ production of “Valkyrie,” reports Reuters. Although the production is ruffling feathers of the heirs of the film’s protagonist, Claus Graf Schenk von Stauffenberg, and German politicians, it seems that money speaks louder than words, even words spoken a mere three days ago. Germany’s Defense Ministry is backing…

“The form the novel, with the narrator and his audience both acting as characters, allowed me to mirror the mutual suspicion with which America and Pakistan (or the Muslim world) look at one another,” said author Mohsin Hamid. Hamid’s recent novel, “The Reluctant Fundamentalist,” is written as a monologue, a very challenging style since the…

Florida-based Christian rock band StorySide:B is serving up a fresh mix of musical talent with their new album, “We Are Not Alone,” a follow up to their 2005 debut, “Everything and More.” Comprised of guitarist/vocalist Lu Rubino, drummer Jordan Mohilowski, bassist/pianist Ron McClelland, and guitarist Preston Phol, these guys seem to work well together if…

Think “fat thoughts,” and you put on pounds. Some mental health professionals are complaining that “The Secret” may convince less stable readers–those who are…

Yesterday was a bad day. A no-good, low-down, rotten, miserable scum of a day. I won’t offer details because they are a combination of melodrama and mundane, and you’ve all been there. I wanted to bang my head against a tree. I wanted to fix a strong drink–maybe seven of ’em. And then a small…

As someone who has never been a fan of the soap opera wrestling you see on TV, but who has been around it her whole life (both of my parents are long-time fans, dating back to the ’70s), I was very upset to learn World Wresting Entertainment (WWE) wrestler Chris Benoit murdered his wife Nancy…

Have you ever noticed how many South Asian doctors there are in the United States these days, but none on “Gray’s Anatomy”? So has Labid Aziz. The filmmaker and aspiring television producer, profiled in the Boston Globe yesterday, is hoping he and the growing numbers of South Asian Muslims in show business will change how…

No, the guy to the right isn’t on the FBI’s Most Wanted list–though I’m sure with his wide eyes and poofy beard and hair, he’s been told more than once that he looks like a crazed madman. For those who need an introduction, he’s none other than David Crowder of the hugely successful Christian rock…
