Passion of the Christ II’s gonna be huge, says star

Actor Jim Caviezel—who played Jesus in Mel Gibson’s 2004 film The Passion of the Christ—has made an extremely bold prediction about its coming sequel focused on the resurrection.  Although last I heard he was complaining that playing jesus ruined his career, so I guess you do what's offered.  He told USA Today: “I’ll tell you this much, the film he’s going to do is going to be the biggest film in history. It’s that good.” To be fair, when the first film premiered, it became...

Kanye’s Masterful casting in his Yeezy Campaign: Paris H

A long time ago, before anyone knew who Kim Kardashian was, she was an assistant to the then way famous Paris Hilton.  People credit Kim's sex tape for her rise in fame, but really she was just seen on the scene with Paris so often people started asking "who's that?".   (seen below on a show Paris had for like a minute) A long time ago, before anyone knew who Kim Kardashian was, she was an assistant to the then way famous Paris Hilton.  People credit Kim's sex tape for her rise in fame, but really she was just seen on the scene with Paris so often people started asking "who's that?".   (seen below on a show Paris had for like a minute)   And while I don't suspect Paris has a very good sense of humor at all, I do respect her being able to come back to her now way more famous than her assistant an...

Rose McGowan lists Hollywood Hills home

Rose McGowan has become the one of the lead faces of the #METOO movement and her passion doesn't stop with speeches and interviews.  True to her word, the actress is selling her Hollywood Hills home to help finance her ongoing fight against Harvey Weinstein.  Determined to make him pay and forward the cause. A wide set of stairs and a not-particularly-private, two-story wall of glass between a pair of chunky white stucco volumes marks the entrance to the 2,923-square-foot contemporary that has four bedrooms and three bathrooms on two floors. The lower level entry, with an open-tread switchback floating staircase that manages to be both airy and muscular, is flanked by a street-level two-car garage and a bedroom/den and adjoining bathroom.

Grammy Red Carpet Review!

I don't generally review the Grammy red carpet, for what I thought was good reason.  For many going to the awards, the object is to be the most ridiculously dressed guest and the lines between fashion and costume essentially vanish.  Then I considered the fact that those who camp it up likely put as much, if not more, attention into each detail and they rightfully deserve my time and critique.  So, shall we?   Boom.  Eve you divine bitch you. This crystal dotted pin stripe pant suit by Naeem Kahn is gorgeous. And just to make it Grammy appropriate, we lose the top.  Might as well show off the best tattoo in existence. ME-OW. Note: The white rose is the shows way of paying respect to the #TIMESUP movement. It is a nod to the suffragettes, who often wore all white.

Trump asks the Guggenheim for Van Gogh, but gets a toilet

If you weren't familiar, Trump, the president, has set out to defund the arts program around the US.  But that doesn't stop the jackass from assuming the art world would provide him with one of its most priceless pieces, right? Ass. The First Couple had asked the Guggenheim to borrow Van Gogh's 1888 “Landscape with Snow” painting for their private White House quarters, but a curator responded that the museum no longer had the work. However, the Upper East Side museum could offer the p...
