Goodbye Dubai

Sun, 15 Feb 2009 00:00:00 -0800

Smashing Telly - Feb. 15 (Opinion) - Short of opening a Radio Shack in an Amish town, Dubai is the world’s worst business idea, and there isn’t even any oil. Imagine proposing to build Vegas in a place where sex and drugs and rock and roll are an anathema. This is effectively the proposition that created Dubai - it was a stupid idea before the crash, and now it is dangerous.

Fri, 01 Aug 2008 00:00:00 -0700

YouTube - By Albert Castillo, ItaloSuave, MichaelBernard1, mdelcamp1, Hilary Duff - Aug. 01 (Entertainment) - I would like to dedicate this MashUp FanVid Music Video remake of Hillary Duff singing Stranger, to our White House Vice President "Tricky" Dick Cheney. I do so on behalf of both the American People generally, and President George W. Bush specifically. I think our Veep (and his NeoCon Wife and fellow travelers) has earned this award and designation. Enjoy. . .

Miley Cyrus Vanity Fair Saga Repeat of Brook Sheilds in the 80's?

Thu, 01 May 2008 00:00:00 -0700

Huffington Post - By Michelle Renee - May. 01 (Opinion) - Yesterday I got into a discussion with a good friend who said he believes Miley's parents are in on the "artistic prostituting" of their daughter. That conversation got me thinking back to the 1980's.

Thu, 31 May 2007 13:00:04 -0700

Scholars & Rogues - By Jim Booth - May. 31 (Opinion) - And ultimately, of course, those films led to Unforgiven - arguably the greatest western film ever made - a film that looks unflinchingly at the myths of gunfighters and the horror that adhering to "the code of the West" caused even the most hardened men:

George Carlin and the Bogus Paradox

Sat, 12 May 2007 12:19:18 -0700

Scholars & Rogues - By Mike Sheehan - May. 12 (Opinion) - Today, scholar and rogue nonpareil George Carlin turns 70. Looking for recent pieces on him, I saw this column by a guy named Leo Kelley with the Ada Evening News who says he wrote George and got a moving response about the desperate straits America finds itself in these days. "I'm going to share his letter," says Kelley. "Take it for what it's worth." Well, it ain't worth sh*t, Leo. Either you lied or you were duped...

IBTimes - By Woody Baird - Dec. 28 (Entertainment) - Teenagers in the 1950s and '60s went wild over Elvis Presley, much to the consternation of their parents, but kids in the new millennium aren't so stirred by rock 'n' roll's original rebel.

American Culture: The Donald, Rosie and Miss USA Take Us All For A Ride

Thu, 21 Dec 2006 15:25:54 -0800

Op Ed News - By John E. Carey - Dec. 21 (Editorial) - Did it occur to anyone that Mr. Donald "The Donald" Trump, Miss Rosie O'Donnell, and the reigning Miss USA Tara Conner are taking us all for a ride? I mean, the public admonishments of Miss USA from Saint Donald Trump don't amount to much, given his own marriage to beauty queen/divorce/new marriage to beauty queen record. Rosie, last I checked, was living in a "gay" relationship that the Catholic Church still considers to be "deviant," never mind that millions of viewers hang on her every word. And Miss USA is nothing but the object of sexual exploitation for profit (including her own) that used to be commonly accepted in another era.

In H'wood, Candor was Never 'Paramount' - Until Now

Tue, 22 Aug 2006 13:31:43 -0700

TMZ - By Claude Brodesser-Akner - Aug. 22 (Opinion) - You could actually hear the incredulity in my bosses voice. He wasn't expressing shock that Tom Cruise had been ushered off the Paramount lot. No. Not at all. The move had been expected for weeks. "The Hollywood Reporter" noting in June that the deal would expire on August 31st.. A month later, "Daily Variety" took the temperature of the studios vis-a-vis producer deals. The climate? Chilly.

The Gibson Apology: Take Two

Tue, 01 Aug 2006 03:53:19 -0700

Huffington Post - By Arianna Huffington - Aug. 01 (Opinion) - Mel Gibson's latest apology -- call it Apology 2: Oh, Yeah, About the Jews -- is the first time since Godfather II that a Hollywood sequel has so outshone the original. Only time will tell whether it reflects the most stunningly fast and vast transformation since Saul became Paul on the road to Damascus or the work of a PR genius -- but, for now, it has to be said: Mel gives excellent apology when his back is shoved up against the wall and he gets a do-over.

Interview: Kevin Bacon

Mon, 19 Jun 2006 03:55:01 -0700

G21 - By Brad Balfour - Jun. 19 (Interview) - New York, NY, USA - With a track record that includes everything from the lead in the dance musical "Footloose" to a pedophile in "The Woodsman," New York-based actor Kevin Bacon has proven his skills as a consummate performer. So it's no wonder that he's intrigued to take on the challenge of director in doing his latest film, "Loverboy." That's understandable, but to do it through a film about a mother's obsessive, inappropriate love for her son and to cast your wife and children in it, seems to be really heaping on the challenges.
