A Bloody Great Vampire Film
Sunday, 22 March 2009 10:41 A GMT-06

Singing and Dancing Condoms and TV Freestyle
Sunday, 1 March 2009 11:57 A GMT-06

Has Our Faux Celebrity Culture Gone Too Far?
Sunday, 22 February 2009 8:50 A GMT-06
Okay, I have been a TMZ addict. I enjoy Red Carpet shows. And the first magazine I pick up when I'm getting a pedicure is always People. In short, I am no saint here -- I've been an enthusiastic consumer of celebrity gossip for ye

Happy Christmas, Everyone
Wednesday, 24 December 2008 8:08 A GMT-06
It's been kind of tough this year as everybody knows. And I think it goes beyond reduced retail sales. I've gotten fewer Christmas cards this year and the truth is that didn't get around to sending Christmas cards either.
When Good TV Goes Bad
