Sarah Palin’s Hollywood Job Offers

If things don’t work out in the world of politics Sarah Palin can always cash in on the myriad of job offers coming her way from Hollywood. The 44-year-old Republican governor of Alaska turned vice presidential candidate has been the recipient of dozens of recent high profile job offers, including one from Playboy boss Hugh Hefner, who has repeatedly asked the mother of five (and soon-to-be grandmother) to strip naked in the famous men’s magazine. I’m pretty sure the famous hockey mom put that offer on ice… at least for now. Another offer on the table for Palin comes courtesy … Continue reading →

Hollywood Politics

Well, I guess they can’t all be as outspoken as Oprah Winfrey and Barbara Streisand… New information is surfacing daily in regards to how much money celebrities are shelling out to their political preferences—most notably the ones who do it in a less conspicuous manner than the stars I mentioned above. The politically progressive website run by Arianna Huffington recently revealed how much cash big name celebs are donating to the 2008 presidential candidates’ campaigns. As you may have well guessed most of Hollywood’s A-listers are backing the Democrats. For example, Huffington Post’s FundRace 2008 shows that actress Jennifer Aniston … Continue reading →

Celebrities and Politics

Oprah has pledged her allegiance to him. Academy Award-winning actress, Halle Berry has said she’d “collect paper cups off the ground to make his pathway clear.” Even PEOPLE’s “Sexist Man Alive,” George Clooney calls him a friend. His star seems to be shining as bright as the ones Hollywood was built on. There’s no question about it; Senator Barack Obama has reached celebrity status. If you don’t believe me consider this: Three of the most powerful men in Hollywood – Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen – have just invited their high-profile Hollywood pals to a February 20th fundraiser … Continue reading →

The Circle of Life—Hollywood Style

They may earn gazillions of dollars for shooting a movie; have fans throw undergarments as they belt out tunes; and house more vehicles in their garage than a car dealer has on his entire lot, but celebrities are humans just the same. And as such they experience the circle of life as we all do (only they do so in designer duds). With that said, here is a synopsis of recent milestones met by a few famous names: BIRTH Wonder if he is MMMMBopping in the nursery? Taylor Hanson, the middle brother in the band Hanson, and his wife, Natalie, … Continue reading →

Everybody Loves Jamie Foxx

Forget Raymond… every high-powered exec in the movie industry is apparently in love with Jamie Foxx. The Oscar-winning actor is currently being considered for not one, but two HUGE movie roles. The first gig would have Foxx playing the legendary late Rat Pack crooner Frank Sinatra. According to reports, Leonardo DiCaprio and Harry Connick Jr. were among the celebs rumored to be in contention for the role, but now Foxx has emerged as the top pick to play Ol’ Blue Eyes. Earlier this month award-winning filmmaker Martin Scorsese confirmed that he would direct the biopic. However, at the time, no … Continue reading →

Bill O’Reilly Says He’ll Boycott Sean Penn Films

Sean Penn may be slated to play Larry in the upcoming Three Stooges film, but Bill O’Reilly won’t be there to see it. O’Reilly, the host of Fox’s “The O’Reilly Factor,” did an interview for The Hollywood Reporter and when asked what actor’s political views disturbed him so much he won’t see their films, O’Reilly said “Just Sean Penn.” O’Reilly did concede that Penn is a great actor (one of the greatest actors of my generation in my honest opinion), but said that he doesn’t want to give his ten bucks to someone that gives “aid and comfort” to such … Continue reading →

Steve Martin Makes History and Sarah Palin Goes for Broke

There is just something about Steve Martin that makes me melt… like chocolate on a hot sidewalk. He is one of my favorite actors, and I am now counting down the days until he makes history on NBC. The super funnyman is set to host “Saturday Night Live” for a record 15th time on January 31st. This will be his first appearance in three years. I can’t wait! Martin is the reason I‘ve seen “Father of the Bride,“ Cheaper by the Dozen,” “The Jerk,” “All of Me” “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels,” “L.A. Story,” “Parenthood” and “Planes, Trains and Automobiles” more than … Continue reading →

How Much Time Do You Spend Watching TV?

The numbers are in… drum roll please… According to Nielsen Media Research, the average American watches 142 hours of TV per month. Basically, the average couch potato spends roughly six full days in front of the boob tube each month. And that number rises the older you are. According to Nielsen, Americans aged 65 and up watch more than 196 hours per month. That’s more than eight entire days of non-stop TV. The research group also found that last season the typical home had a television on for eight hours and 18 minutes each day. That’s up an hour per … Continue reading →
