The end of August is just around the corner and with that are changes. The leaves are starting to look a little less green. Nightfall seems to be coming just a little earlier. Mornings have the slightest bit of chill. Schedules are changing as kids go back to school as well, but it’s not just […]

Paradise Still Exists in Cannon Beach, Oregon

My favorite vacation spot growing up was always Cannon Beach, Oregon. To me, the little town on the Oregon coast was paradise, and I cherished the time I was able to spend there with family and friends. My family went practically every other year when I was growing up, but as I got older and […]

Miriam Pultro Sings It Like It Is with Debut Single, ‘Good Thing I Don’t Love You’

Movie Review: The Not-So-‘Fantastic Four’

The Fantastic Four is my favorite superhero team in the Marvel Universe. When I started reading comics, I loved X-Men and the Avengers, but was captivated by the idea of family that journeyed into the unknown together.

SYTYCD12: The Top 14 Dance Again and the Top 10 is Revealed!

Last week, our consummate host Cat Deeley spilled the unfortunate beans that we’d be losing four members of our talented Top 14 and with the deck so stack, especially on the Street side of things (at least, in my opinion), I knew we’d likely lose at least one dancer before their time tonight, but before we […]

Jon Voyage: A Look at Jon Stewart’s Legacy on ‘The Daily Show’

Back in 2004, Jon Stewart asked Jerry Seinfeld when he thought he should retire from The Daily Show. “You can’t,” he said. “You have one of those shows you have to do until you’re dead. It doesn’t peak, it’s just good, and good and good.” Eleven years and several grey hairs later, Jon Stewart is finally […]

Perhaps executive producer and judge Nigel Lythgoe heard the cries of fans for more pairs routines, as they’ve produced some of the season’s most memorable moments thus far, or maybe it was always in the plans, but last night’s show was arguably the season’s best yet as some of the night’s duos had some tricks up […]
