Tuesday, February 24th, 2009What do you think of when you think of Duke Ellington? Some will instantly hear any number of jazz music selections created by this great musician and performer.

Where in the world was George Clooney?
Tuesday, February 24th, 2009I know that some people were curious about the non-appearance of George Clooney at the Oscar Awards on Sunday. And even more people are wondering about his appearance on the final episode of E.R. But far more important is the actual place he was at.

Friday, February 20th, 2009I normally do not like to delve into the sorid tabloid scheme of invading the privacy of entertainers and celebrities. There are better ways to make money or gain an audience. But I will take up the issue of Chris Brown’s alleged domestic violence against Rihanna. Domestic violence, and all violence against women is abominable. [...]
