Joaquin Phoenix announced during an interview today that he’s done acting and will focus solely on his film career from now on. He’s just 34 years old, and was obviously still getting roles, so I’m not sure what this is all about. There’s a short video right here where you can check out the [...]
I haven’t posted here in a few days because I’ve been fighting a bad cold. I spent most of that time in bed trying to take it easy, which is hard for me — especially when I’m pretty much forced to do it. The silver lining in all of this is that it’s happening at [...]
I just read that Anne Pressly, the Arkansas TV anchorwoman that I wrote about last week, has died as a direct result of injuries sustained from a brutal beating in her home. Her death was announced by her former station KATV, and tributes have been pouring into the station’s website from all across the [...]
I just read that U2 lead singer Bono is in talks with the New York Times to become one of their regular op-ed columnists for 2009. There aren’t many details available at this point, but apparently he would write “occasional” columns about a variety of topics.

I was flipping through my cable channels the other day when I came across a rerun of The Practice. I used to love that show, and thought it was one of the best dramas on television back in its day. Remember when creator David E. Kelley won Emmys for both Best Drama (The Practice) [...]
I was reading the Us magazine website and came across an article about Ashton Kutcher’s football team. No, he didn’t buy into the pro sports world and become an NFL owner. Instead, Kutcher coaches a high school football team! Yep, he’s been an assistant coach on the Harvard Westlake freshman team since the beginning [...]
A whole bunch of different services and memberships are up for renewal right around now, so I’m going to be spending lots more money this month than I originally expected. For instance, I’ve got to pay for my gym membership (I pay 12 months in advance for a nice discount), book club membership, and indoor [...]
