As Jerry Seinfeld once told his hapless friend George Costanza, more or less: “It’s like looking at the sun, you can’t stare at it, you have to take quick glances then look away.” This is a valuable maxim for anyone, but especially so for famous people, whose windows for checking out attractive people is especially [...]

As American military engagements in the MIddle East plod along with little or no progress, the New York Times tried to drum up some hopefulness with their epic feature on women in the military this weekend. In movies, of course, female soldiers are nothing new. In fact, some of our best cinematic soldiers have been [...]

Today is International Left-Handers Day, which means that all around the world people will be joining hands (only their left hands, somehow) and celebrating the rich lives and momentous accomplishments of left-handed folk everywhere. And with only 7 to 10 percent of the world’s population being left-handed, it’s kind of amazing to see how much [...]

Not important in and of themselves, people pay attention to [...]

Today marks the annual release of the Hollywood Reporter’s coveted (and for the top 25 or so, unchanging) list of the 100 Most Powerful Women in Entertainment. There are relatively few surprises, least of all with the head of the pack. For the third year in a row, the podium looks like this:

The New Yorker interviewed Prince this week, touching on both his conversion into a Jehovah’s Witness seven years ago and his anti-gay marriage views. I don’t think I’ve been so shocked to learn a likable celebrity’s religious and political stance since I found out Beck is a Scientologist (and he’s just number 8 on Cracked.com’s [...]
