Saturday nights is family game night round these here parts, albeit with a reduced family as one of them has a sleepover to go to, so the four of us left settled down to a game of Pictionary. The box says its for ages 12+, so this could be a challenge as the kids dont get much above 10.

Let's have some fun today. Is there anything more fun than watching our favorite thespians scream their lungs out in an uncontrollable rage? Answer: no. Sometimes it's great acting, sometimes it's terrible acting, it's always entertaining.Here are some of my favorites, in no particular order:"How'd it get burned?!" - Nicolas Cage in THE WICKER MANTHE WICKER MAN, Neil LaBute's bizarre remake of the 1973 classic, is a terrible film. It's long and uneventful with a weird misogynistic vibe. But like many ter... read more »

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, when Katie was still happy in the marriage, presumably.Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have settled their case.Believe me, this is RECORD TIME.I don't think in the history of the universe a case this potentially contentious has settled so quickly.As I predicted, Tom Cruise agreed to settle rather than go to trial. This, no doubt, means that he gave Katie Holmes what she wanted--sole legal custody of Suri Cruise. Obviously, I am saying this without even seeing the settlement agree... read more »
Katie Holmes, entranced. Tom Cruise, playing a role? Tom Cruise on Oprah. Infamous, Embarrassing.

Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise. Crazy courtship.I've been looking into Scientology a bit, trying to understand the whole Katie Holmes/Tom Cruise situation, and I will be updating my site as new information becomes available. For now, I can sum it up by saying that Katie Holmes is lucky that she has paparazzi following her every move, because it appears that strict practice of Scientology is...scary. Like straight out of Rosemary's Baby and The Firm scary.It is also complex...so complex, in fact,that it is... read more »
