Oscars: Mary Hart Says Hello to Me
Well…kinda.
I’ve been Buzzin’ about my friend, Wayne Sutton, and the incredible opportunity that he had to be sitting in the bleachers as part of the Kodak Red Carpet blogger group. Much of his “assignment” was that he had to Tweet, blog, video, etc. all that was going on. I mean, cuz that’s what he does.

Oscars 2010: And the Winner Is…..Really?
First off, it’s not ABC. Let me start with that.

So Twilight Swept the Teen Choice Awards
I have not seen the movie nor have I read the novel but once again a film with supernatural-type plot lines becomes the latest fad since sliced bread. I’m not faulting that, of course. To each his/her own opinion. I’m just amazed at the hype behind the franchise ala Harry Potter. It’s a marketing goldmine [...]
Is There Credence to the MTV Movie Awards?
Earlier this week, the list of nominees for the annual Golden Popcorn award was released. Leading the pack – Twilight with seven nominations but coming up just behind with six, my favorite movie of 2008, Slumdog Millionaire.
Twilight. Really?
