Pop culture at its most disturbing
I am going to do something I have never done before – review a movie I have not seen. Apparently, The Devil Inside, Paramount Pictures’ new release about a woman investigating the possible possession of her mother, had a pea soup shooting weekend, with ticket sales totaling $34.5 million…taking the #1 box office spot. There is only one problem. I …
Anthony(‘s) Weiner. Jesse James’ 19 women. Ashton wants Moore than just Demi. What was your favorite scandal of 2011? Here are the biggest and the best. Ah-Nold’s Uh Oh I still cannot determine what is more mystifying – the fact that a live-in maid can have a kid by Arnold Schwarzenegger without Maria Shriver knowing, or the fact that someone …
Happiness is a new special from you, Charlie Brown. My generation (those of us who never grew up, anyway) was given two gifts this holiday season. The first was the return of the Muppets in a full-length feature. The second was the return of the Peanuts gang to the small screen with the Thanksgiving showing of Happiness is a Warm …
Jerry Sandusky does not appear to know when to shut up. This morning, the former Penn State assistant football coach accused of molesting an ever-growing number of young boys waived his right to a preliminary hearing and says he will battle the allegations in a trial. OK, that is fine. His defense attorney calls this a “tactical move.” Happens all …
It’s not often that one family can inspire you at not just one, but two different crossroads in your life. But it happened to me. And my experiences with the Dossett family were nearly 30 years apart. John Tyler Dossett is a successful local artist. He has completed 370 paintings. He has raised tens of thousands of dollars for charities, …
With the release of SMiLE on Nov. 1, people who want to experience (or revisit) the Summer of Love can finally do so with what I see as THE definitive trifecta of pop masterpieces. While there certainly were terrific releases in 1967 that helped define a rock generation (Jefferson Airplane’s Surrealistic Pillow and? The Jimi Hendrix Experience’s Are You Experienced …
They said it wouldn’t last… Poor Kim Kardashian. She is getting pilloried by the press after announcing the end of her 72-day marriage. Doesn’t the world realize that her Hollywood marriage to Kris Humphries was practically a marathon compared to some? Honestly, her marriage lasted 72 TIMES longer than one of Zsa Zsa Gabor‘s, and 288 TIMES longer than Rudolph …
work at home moms appy Halloween! I was sorry to hear that this year would be the last for Antoinette’s Haunted History Tours in Alton. “It has been a lot of fun, and I have enjoyed it tremendously,” Antoinette “Toni” Eason told me. “I have had a wonderful business partner, wonderful people working for me, and I have seen some …
online jobs work from home was 10 years old when the St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Milwaukee Brewers in game seven of the nail-biter that came to be known as the “Suds Series” (St. Louis-Anheiser Busch, Milwaukee-Miller…get it?) My friends and I watched in awe as the series did a back-and-forth, with the Cardinals catching an early lead before the …
On The Telegraph’s main Facebook page, I recently asked people to share their favorite scary movies and I got some very interesting responses. I myself prefer my horror movies to be thought provoking, smart, and atmospheric, rather than the “jump out at you and say BOO” type. Even as a kid, I was bored with the Friday the 13th series, …
