Those of us who knew Andrew Breitbart fairly well are still in a state of shock that he’s gone. I first learned about his passing the way I’ve learned of many things over the years, by logging onto The Drudge Report early one morning. At first it was just a shocking headline saying “Dead at...

Johnny Lewis and Scientology’s Criminal Behavior
As I write this article, actor Johnny Lewis is ranked #1 on the STARmeter on the Internet Movie Database Pro version. At #2 is Joseph Gordon-Levitt, currently appearing in the #1 movie Looper with Bruce Willis (who is ranked #19 on the STARmeter).

The Turning Point for Princess Diana
This is the moment when Diana starts to slip away into history; the tipping point after which the public’s experiences of her as a living Princess will be outweighed by the time without her.

Zachary Quinto and the Art of Subtlety
The media’s all over this handsome Spock-nouveau’s recent un-closeting, but not because he, oh, I don’t know, announced it on an awards show red carpet. In a refreshing change of pace, Quinto nonchalantly dropped a few references to his sexuality in a recent interview about his upcoming movie Margin Call and his part in the...

Dirty, Rotten, Cheating Husbands, Part One: The Women Who Blame Themselves
Cheating is par for the course in Hollywood, right? We’ve come to expect that very few celebrity marriages will last, and that when relationships ultimately go south, infidelity is often the culprit. As a society, we love a good cheating scandal. It allows us to condemn the cheater and praise the victim. Brad Pitt, Tiger...
