Pop culture at its most disturbing
At the age of 48, Anthony Mark Caruso (“Papabear” to his friends and Survivor fans) is out to prove that life just gets better. Caruso, from Freeport, N.Y., was the third contestant voted out on “Survivor: South Pacific,” which aired last fall. In his short time on the show, he made an indelible impression with his likable personality, determination to …
I am very excited to welcome everyone to my new (and hopefully improved) blog, Freditorials! Many people have followed me on my Telegraph website blog and I have received SO MUCH positive feedback. I really am overwhelmed and flattered that so many people look forward to my inane ramblings and so I will bombard you with even more! The blog …
went to see The Three Stooges this past weekend with a friend, and was amused to look over and see a grown man in his 50s finding his inner 10-year-old, cracking up every time Moe rips a handful of hair from Larry’s unruly afro or pokes Curly in the eye. (Spoiler)…and never in a million years did I ever think …
When new photos of Charles Manson were released to the press last week, they quickly became one of the most popular items being searched online. New mugshots of the 77-year-old prisoner were taken recently, just before his parole hearing scheduled for next week (his 12th), and requested by CNN for release. My question is WHY are his new photos so …
53-year-old Madonna and 62-year-old Lionel Richie continue to show the “young kids” that the vets still have it going on. Four years after (the really pretty bad) urban-flavored Hard Candy, Madonna is back with her new release, MDNA. People have been trying to classify MDNA by comparing it to previous Madonna albums, but it is, in fact, a mishmash …
how to make a money tree stumbled across this post on Facebook and I wanted to share it. One of the things I love about Margaret Cho is the way she can describe different events in her childhood and make you feel as if you were right there. Since we are roughly the same age, in many ways her experiences …
how to make quick money online wo recent news stories have me thinking about news outlets and their role in responsible journalism. The first occurred last week, when reports began to emerge that actress Tatum O’Neal, a self-admitted addict in recovery, had relapsed on cocaine and was in rehab. Not only did tabloid fodder such as ET and TMZ jump …
Just days after photos of a gaunt, emaciated Macaulay Culkin hit the web, sparking widespread speculation of illness or drug use, Whitney Houston‘s lifeless body was found in a Hollywood hotel bathtub. I see both incidents as a chance to look a little closer at how we see celebrities in trouble. Culkin, child star of the Home Alone series and …
The last few minutes of the Super Bowl were among some of the most exciting in the history of the event. But when I got up this morning, the news stations only briefly covered Brady, Manning, and those oh-so-crucial 57 seconds. They only touched on the commercials (which were underwhelming this year, anyway). What they DID spend time talking about …
My previous blog was dedicated to the commercial success and critical failure of the newly released The Devil Inside and its place among films dedicated to the subject of demonic possession. Now I want to talk a little about the other genre this apparently EPICALLY bad film falls into-the “found footage horror mockumentary.” While there have been other (and better) …
