Idol Chatter

To paraphrase the titular character, “Some things I know, and some things I do’’t know. But I know that I won’t be watching this show again.” Unlike fellow blogger Valerie Reiss, I didn’t have the benefit of multiple advance copies of HBO’s new series, “John From Cincinnati,” (a spiritual portrayal of the surfing culture in…

Media outlets yet again had a field day today when everyone’s favorite celebutante, Paris Hilton, was ordered back to jail–one day after being released by the L.A. Sheriff’s Department, who had released Hilton to serve out the rest of her sentence at home for medical reasons. “Mom, Mom, it’s not right!” Paris was heard crying…

In the new HBO series, “John from Cincinnati,” The Yosts are a wildly dysfunctional, furious family of three generations of surfers in California, near the Mexico border. We meet the Yosts in the midst of a meltdown that’s been going on for years—they’ve been wrecked by injury, drugs, rage, and surfing. A stranger, John, has…

Dr. Burke has been asked to scrub out of “Grey’s Anatomy” for good. Entertainment Weekly reports that ABC Studios will not renew Isaiah Washington’s contract with the hit show, due to what they call “a pattern of suspicious behavior by Washington that, according to press reports, goes back as far as 1997 on the set…

Is it just me, or does it feel like Muslims are still viewed as being on the outskirts of society in North America, though polls and statistics say the opposite? Consider popular CNN talk show host Glenn Beck, who last fall began an interview with the first Muslim congressman, Keith Ellison, with “Sir, prove to…

The show had largely abandoned its obsession with the culture wars to become more of a romantic drama focusing on Danny and Jordan’s growing…

While studios like Fox are busy trying to ramp up their production of entertainment marketed to the Christian community, Christian media moguls like David Kirkpatrick aren’t interested in seeking Hollywood’s favor. Instead, Kirkpatrick, a former executive at Paramount, wants Hollywood to come to him. Last year Kirkpatrick, along with pollster George Barna and former E!…

Last night “Traveler“–in its third episode–maintained the breakneck pace of its two-hour premier. Between the nonstop action and music to set the we’re-not-going-to-let-you-even-breath mood, “Traveler” is proving itself as the new “24”. Jay Burchell and Tyler Fog are desperate, on the run from an entire nation watching out for these two young men wanted by…

Disney couldn’t do it, though “The Chronicles of Narnia” was a darned good try. New Line didn’t connect with audiences with “The Nativity Story.” But if anyone can recreate the box-office magic that Mel Gibson found in “The Passion of the Christ,” shouldn’t it be David Kirkpatrick, co-founder of Good News Holdings, a Christian media…

When the credits rolled for “Gracie” I couldn’t leave. I wanted to see every last second of this extraordinary film, which opened last week, about a fifteen-year-old girl, Gracie, who works through the loss of a favorite older brother by throwing her heart and soul into making the high school varsity soccer team–the male varsity…
