It was last night's Meryl Streep chit-chat that got me to thinking; Hell, 15 nominations is impressive enough, and she's even won the dang Oscar twice! For Kramer vs. Kramer and Sophie's Choice. But while in the lovely land of Hollywood that's a track record to be amazingly proud of, the simple trut...

Obviously, we need to talk about the new song that takes over the top of Billboard's Hot 100, and the mind-blowing record it sets. But before we do that, let's talk about Hilary Swank. I find Swank's movie career totally incomprehensible: She either wins Oscars, or she tanks. Not even Meryl Streep h...

The Light in Her Heart "There are people who go after your humanity, Sister James. Who tell you the light in your heart is a weakness. That your soft feelings betray you. Don't believe them." Those words are spoken to a meek nun who is uncomfortably wedged between two very potent personalities with ...

Chad Lowe, who was divorced from Oscar-winner Hilary Swank in 2007, is having a baby with his new girlfriend, producer Kim Painter. She’s due in early summer. Babies are the new black! Last year, Lowe said that his relationship with Kim and his gig on 24 helped him get through “a very da...

Filed under: OpEd, The Office, Episode Reviews, Reality-Free (S05E12) If The Office has one weakness it's this: when it feels the need to split time equally between an A-Story and a B-Story, it's a fair bet that one of them is going to suffer. I guess the "curse" of having such a large and talented ...

Filed under: Drama, Romance, Movie Marketing, Images When I first heard that Hilary Swank was going to take on Amelia Earhart for a new film, Amelia , I looked at pictures of both of them. While I'm not a big fan of Swank's period work, there's no denying that they hold a decent resemblance. Then th...

What the hell--no eyebrows?! Where are her eyebrows?! How does playing Amelia Earhart equate to having no eyebrows? Earhart had eyebrows! I've seen pictures of her before--in fact, I'll look up some now--and I'm positive I would have noticed if she didn't have eyebr... hmm... interesting. Alright, f...

Let's assume that Kate Winslet gets nominated for the Oscars again next year, a safe bet considering she usually makes the cut whenever she's in a worthy film. Even though she's only 32 years old, she's already been nominated and lost five times — that's a record tally for someone her age. Voters ...

Even though I don't go out of my way to watch it any more, Mike Judge's "King of the Hill" has been kind of like an old sweater you find hidden in the back of a dresser drawer: No matter when you find it, it's always immediately comforting. And "King of the Hill," of course, has been a rather amazin...

Robert De Niro is hit up the red carpet with wife, Grace Hightower, on his way to accepting a Golden Camera award in Berlin. The Golden Camera awards are essentially the German equivalent to the Golden Globes and Bobby received a Lifetime Achievement award. Also, Kylie Minogue was there to receive h...
