Idol Chatter

Paris Hilton was plagued last year by the wide-spread internet distribution of a private video, as was Pamela Anderson more than 10 years ago. But while these actors (if you can call them actors) faced humiliation, the loss of privacy, and being the butt of numerous jokes, it’s nothing like what Sahra Amir Ebrahimi is…

A funny (if somewhat low-blow) fake movie trailer from SNL explains what those Mayans are really saying:

The wonderful payoff of “American Idol”–it’s the most successful reality show, with record deals and American Music Awards all tallied–is that the show finds actual talent amid all those “Gong Show” rejects and braying, overtanned blondes tarted up like porn stars. FOX’s new reality series, “My Bare Lady,” which debuted last night on the FOX…

After getting a late start as part of the new TV season, the NBC sitcom “Scrubs” has found its sweet spot. Last night’s episode didn’t look to the caustic Dr. Cox or the goofy antics of the hospital janitor for laughs, but instead took a huge risk by tackling the tough issue of abortion with…

In this post-“Sex and the City” era, people dissect relationships a lot. There’s so much to navigate that some daters might wish they had been born in an era when there wasn’t so much choice–a time when a man saw a woman of marriageable age and asked for her hand in marriage. And once married,…

Looking for a holiday feel-good movie with an inspirational message? A family-friendly tale of father-son devotion that uses the F-word in a heartwarming way? A spiritual flick that embodies some of the highest ideals of Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Scientology? Then go see “The Pursuit of Happyness,” Will Smith’s latest star turn. But…

Davis announced he was gay and criticized Stephen’s anti-homosexuality stance, arguing that God didn’t hate gay people. Davis said that being gay wasn’t a…

If you are looking for repetition (You are what you think! You are what you think!), unintentional comedy (think Parker Posey’s Libby in “Waiting for Guffman“–but real), a reason to roll your eyes a lot, and are hoping to “get rich quick” before the holidays, then buy the recently released DVD “The Secret“! This pseudo-documentary…

What happens when you’re a time lord–a humanoid race that can, in simplest terms, manipulate time and acts–and you meet another being who claims to have existed before time even began? If you’re Doctor Who, the last of the time lords, it shakes your faith. In the recent two part episode “The Impossible Planet”/”The Satan…

I confess: I used to be a terrible tipper. My father tried to teach me well, explaining that every doorman, porter, cabbie, waitress, and mail carrier deserved a tip for their services and that the bulk of their earnings depended on tips–a precarious situation since one’s paycheck is thus determined by the often inconsistent kindness…
