Carrie Underwood Becomes the Fourth American Idol »

Wow, I can’t believe that American Idol is over, but it is. Carrie Underwood has come out on top. I’m so pleased that she won. Although she wasn’t my early favorite, she emerged week after week as the most consistent performer of all contestants. I love her performance tonight on the […]

Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith (2005) »

I saw Revenge of the Sith yesterday and it rocked. I loved it. I don’t want to give too much away but the movie was indeed darker than the previous five in the Star Wars series. I think that Ian McDiarmid, who played Darth Sidious should win best villian of the year, […]

Get Well Soon, Kylie »

Kylie Minogue is one of my favorite female singers. Her music exudes fun and she’s so darn sassy. I am saddened to hear about her recent brush with breast cancer and I wish her all the best.
Pop diva Kylie Minogue is undergoing medical tests in the Australian city of Melbourne in preparation for breast […]

DVD Easter Eggs »

It seems that filmmakers have hidden secret dvd extras dubbed “dvd easter eggs” into DVDs. A sample “dvd easter egg” is:

‘The Incredibles’…
Pop in the second disc (Bonus Material) and choose the Setup option from the main menu. Wait about half a minute or so and a little “Omnidroid” spider robot will appear at […]

The Real Toby Keith »

I can definitely relate to Toby Keith’s beef with the media and the record industry. While do industry-types feel the need to define everybody and everything. If you do “A,” you must be a “Y.” Some people are very simple, while others are extremely complex. Further, people have a right to do […]

Natalie Portman Bald »

Boy, oh boy, the thing actresses do for their art:
Level-headed young NATALIE PORTMAN is anticipating a range of responses to her spare new hairdo. “Some people will think I’m a neo-Nazi,” the Garden State star suspects, “or that I have cancer or I’m a lesbian.” … Portman, the exotically coiffed Padmé Amidala in Star Wars: […]
