Ever wake up after weeks, months, years wondering where the time went? When the busyness of life began to become the business of life. It's like when you're on your morning commute, and you realize you're half way to work but you have absolutely no idea or recollection of how you got there. Scary stuff.
That must be why some folks ...more»
A fella named Oscar came to town today, seeking out those who've been 'good'--well, actually, those who've been really good--in the film world this year. And while I realize some may find the smugness of Hollywood types off-putting, I'd also like to offer a case for acknowledging the truly great performances of an art form created to reflect you, me, ...more»

'Tis the season for the Master of What? to master some pop culture phenoms, first with "24" and now with the recently crowned "Best Television Series - Musical or Comedy" at the Golden Globes-- "Glee." How on earth I have managed to stay away from this little wunderkind, ...more»
Like so many things in life, I've learned a lot by playing make believe. Really. As a kid who logged some serious hours on a stage and spent her free time watching musicals (Hello Dolly! the Barbra Streisand version, thank you), many a life lesson came via a character study.

As a former actor-turned-celebrity-blogger, these ...more»
This past Saturday, Jim Carrey hosted "Saturday Night Live" (with musical guest The Black Keys--Woot!), and it was the highest rated show since Betty White got her NPR talk on during her hosting duties. Honestly, this really isn't a shocker. The man is rock 'em, sock 'em HI-larious, whatever that means.
It should be said that I'm a fan of Natalie ...more»
I didn't know Jack--Jack Bauer, that is. Until last week, the hubs and I had held out on "24" simply because we didn't have time to be immersed in another TV show. We were devout followers of "Lost," you see, and only very recently have we (me) felt the heavy weight of mourning lift. Sigh.
