The smokin’ Shannon Elizabeth that we all fell in love with on American Pie was seen at the mall being a super role model for a young girl. The duo were shopping for a doll at the American Girl store (same one Billy Crystal was raging in). They picked out the perfect one then had a [...]

When I last saw documentary producer June Cross, she looked awfully tired. It was May 2008 at Columbia University in New York, and she had just screened some amazing footage of her Frontline film The Old Man and the Storm...

Billy Crystal was out shopping with his two girls and wife, Janice in Los Angeles at American Girl. Billy looked like he’s been putting on some chubs….perhaps he has a New Year’s Resolution for that. He was sporting a “lumberjack flannel” and a sour face. Apparently the paps were really pissing him off as he [...]

Remember the scene in the movie "City Slickers," when Billy Crystal's character suggests to his despondent friend that, just like the "do-overs" in their childhood baseball games, maybe it's time for a "do-over" of life itself?

Stone me, it’s ten past midnight and we’re still up? I guess our body clocks must be on holiday time, but the inescapable fact is that even to our tired little selves, the hour of the duvet is upon us. We’re watching City Slickers 2 (the legend of Curly’s Cold). It’s all about the lost ingredients list [...]

I have to confess that I haven’t been to a New Year’s Eve party for a long time, but I would be willing to bet that at least a few party-goers will still follow the tradition of singing “Auld Lang Syne” when midnight arrives. I would also guess that most of them will have no [...]

I bought a Quaker hymnal not long ago, and was startled. I've never thought of the Quakers as being big on Bethlehem and the Nativity. In fact, I didn't know they could carry a tune. I always imagine them sitting in silence, waiting for the light and thinking long thoughts about social justice.

Encore really has a thing for 80's movies. The weekend following Christmas, if you're an Encore subscriber, you might want to consider avoiding the crazed rush for the post-holiday sales and insane lines to return hideous sweaters and instead, set up camp in front of the TV for the entire weekend. Encore's doing a whole 80's themed weekend.

"You writer! You liar!" Personally, I think two words less from Patrick Marber in Closer would have been funnier, but fair play: the ancient alignment of fiction and fibbing was calling. Of all the low-down things of which writers have been accused – dreaming, madness, making Billy Crystal "funny" at the Oscars – lying is particularly heinous. But the unreliable narrator's voice has grown ever louder...

If and thought they were there to simply blow their own trumpets about new film Australia, they had another think coming. During an appearance on German TV at the weekend the pair had to grapple with the tricky task of blowing an altogether different instrument - a didgeridoo. Unperturbed when the chat show host whipped out the native Australian instrument, Nicole gamely gave it try. For his part Hugh...
