Steven Van Zandt must, at times, slow down his busy life in order to take a moment to savor and appreciate where he finds his career today. With the exception of a brief sabbatical, he’s been the co-star of Bruce
Mediaite and certain members of their staff are rather infamous for their hostility towards women. In the past, they’ve specifically targeted Governor Sarah Palin, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, stay-at-home-moms, and our own Dana Loesch. Also, and most of you won’t remember this (but I do), Mediaite has a
A LOOK AT JADEN SMITH IN COSTUME FOR M. NIGHT’S NEW SCIENCE FICTION EPIC How can any parent look at the near 100% record of child celebrity train wrecks and then put their child in front of the train? If
[Andrew Breitbart] doesn’t give a rat’s ass about the women who were raped. — Tommy Christopher Apparently, Tommy Christopher has a very specific mission at Mediaite. Legitimate stories reported by Team Breitbart that expose the left and pick up steam are
NBC GIVES ‘HANNIBAL’ DIRECT-TO-SERIES ORDER This will be a series that revolves around Hannibal Lecter and FBI Agent Will Graham. But the question is, how will Lecter wear on audiences as the co-star of an hour-long weekly drama? The appeal
You see, Hollywood isn’t liberal — not in the classic sense. This is not a community that believes in human liberty or freedom. Like Barack Obama and the mainstream media, Hollywood only uses liberalism as a vehicle for the kind of
DHD dismisses this, but I don’t think they understand how tired many of us are of paying outrageous cable bills for television we don’t watch: Aereo[,] [t]he company, backed in part by Barry Diller, just announced that it will go live
The thing about Ben Smith is that we always seem to eventually discover something about him that helps to explain so much. Over the past few weeks, after he moved from Politico to Buzzfeed, I haven’t written a word about Ben
30 OVERLOOKED FILMS FROM THE 2000S Some good choices, especially “The Assassination of Jesse James,” which I think is the best film of the aughts. Another gem is “American Psycho,” which, I swear, is the autobiography of a guy I
For those of you unfamiliar with him, Politico’s Dylan Byers is a left-wing operative disguising himself as a “media analyst.” If you look at his incredibly biased work just since the start of the year, you’ll find someone who has enjoyed an open
SOMETHING TO ADMIRE ABOUT WHITNEY HOUSTON Houston was a true superstar. She had the pipes, looks, presence and poise — she had it all. And if you look at her evolution as an actress from “The Bodyguard” to “The Preacher’s
More proof that Muslims and gays represent the protected class in entertainment. Not that anyone in Hollywood has the iconoclast spirit required to satirize either group, but had they in the same way the Grammys “satirized” the Catholic Church last
Things must be getting pretty desperate over at Oprah Winfrey’s fledgling OWN Network for the former talk show titan to tweet this out to her nine-million followers: —– OWN’s ratings have improved some over last year when it launched, but the network still
Gordon Parks was a true American renaissance man; a photographer, novelist, musician, poet, journalist and, most of all, a film director. At 57, an age when most directors have lost their fire, Parks directed his first feature film, “The Learning
The most pleasant surprise of this exquisite, high-definition print is that “Lady and the Tramp” represents Disney’s first feature in CinemaScope — in glorious, luscious, 2.55 : 1 widescreen. Like a perfectly wrapped present, the gorgeous color palette spreads across
According to Michael Moore’s tweet (and everyone on MSNBC and CNN), President Barack Obama is correct to force the Catholic Church to offer insurance that provides free birth control, sterilization, and the Morning After abortion pill — because “the law is
MORE CRYBABYING FROM GEORGE LUCAS: CLAIMS HAN NEVER SHOT FIRST Who you gunna believe? George Lucas or your lying eyes? Well, it’s not a religious event. I hate to tell people that. It’s a movie, just a movie. The controversy
Tuesday, we published this story about a bizarre attack launched against Governor Sarah Palin at, of all places, Glenn Beck’s site The Blaze. It was an attack made up of whole cloth, the kind of thing we’re used to seeing from the mainstream
The second “Transformers,” 2009’s “Revenge of the Fallen,” was without a doubt the worst movie-going experience I have ever had. I’ve lost fist fights at the movies and that experience wasn’t comparable to sitting through director Michael Bay’s dreadful, punishing,
Unlike the mainstream media (especially Politico), I believe in context. So below this poll, you will find any and all background information needed to answer questions 1 – 3. Question number four speaks for itself. —– —–—–Roland Martin’s tweets: “If a dude at your
Erik Wemple of the Washington Post was (along with Politico’s Dylan Byers) one of fascistic GLAAD’s primary co-conspirators in the blacklisting witch hunt to get CNN’s Roland Martin suspended from CNN, over a few perfectly harmless and defensible tweets Martin fired off during
GOING STREAMING, CANCELLING CABLE Fascinating reader Email: I cancelled cable about a year ago, and have not regretted it once. The only casualties have been about ten pounds and a callused channel-flipping thumb. Steaming really is a major time saver
Out here in the wilds of North Carolina, I haven’t yet had a chance to see “The Iron Lady,” but as someone who generally finds Meryl Streep’s acting self-conscious, over-affected, and showy — in other words, not acting at all —
On my Twitter account, I follow a few hundred mainstream media-types (keep the enemy closer, right?), and unless I’ve missed it (and I hope I have), not a single one has spoken out in defense of Roland Martin. Not one. How scary
Whatever your opinion might be of stoner, gross-out comedies, there’s much to admire in the third chapter of the adventures of Harold Lee (John Cho) and Kumar Patel (Kal Penn). For what was a mid-level budget, the look of the
