Oliver Stone’s Son Sean Converts to Islam

Last updated on: February 20, 2012 at 12:23 pm By Lilit Marcus

Sean Stone, the son of director Oliver Stone, converted to Islam last week while on a trip to Iran. Sean, who has done some acting and directing work, says that his Hollywood friends didn’t take the news so well and that he is now experiencing “the reverse of anti-Semitism.” [Is the word you’re looking for “anti-Islamism”? Because the opposite of antisemitism would probably be “hating all people who aren’t Jews,” and there are lots of non-Jews who aren’t Muslim either.]... Read more

Bobby Brown Says He Loves Whitney Like He Loves God

Last updated on: February 17, 2012 at 3:06 pm By Lilit Marcus

Although Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston were divorced at the time of her death last weekend, it can’t be easy when someone you were so close to for so long passes away. Bobby’s currently on the road with New Edition, and at a recent concert in Mississippi he briefly addressed the crowd. “I’d like to say thank you for your prayers…I’d like to say thank you. Period. I’m gonna throw two up for Whitney. That’s my love. Life is life.... Read more

FGP Celebrity Quote of the Week: Justin Theroux on Being a Cult Leader

Last updated on: February 17, 2012 at 10:05 am By Lilit Marcus

In his new movie Wanderlust (the one where he met that obscure actress he’s dating), Justin Theroux plays a cult leader. Because the movie is a comedy, his cult leader is a little more Love Guru and a little less Martha Marcy May Marlene. He told New York magazine: I was thinking of him as a David Koresh-type figure, a comic cult leader who is so sincere in his insincerity. It’s hard to play that douchey of a guy without... Read more

Michelle Duggar’s Tips for a Happy Marriage

Last updated on: February 17, 2012 at 1:08 am By Lilit Marcus

This week the new season of 19 Kids and Counting premiered on TLC. Because so much of the Duggars’ life has already played out in the news, it’s weird watching the show and already knowing what’s going to happen (namely, Michelle is still pregnant with Jubilee, but we all know that the miscarriage is coming up). In the premiere, Michelle was at a conference, giving a speech about how to have a happy Christian marriage. An eagle-eyed forum poster on... Read more

John Fugelsang Tells The Story of His Parents’ Spiritual Romance

Last updated on: February 16, 2012 at 1:12 pm By Lilit Marcus

Comedian John Fugelsang is known for hist stints hosting America’s Funniest Home Videos and as a VJ on Vh1. But he has opened up a whole new side of his life by tweeting the story of how his parents met and fell in love – while they were a nun and a monk. Formerly known as Brother Boniface and Sister Damien, Fugelsang’s parents Jack and Peggy met in Brooklyn and sent each other platonic letters for years. But eventually, they... Read more

Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar Spent Valentine’s Day in NYC

Last updated on: February 15, 2012 at 10:52 am By Lilit Marcus

Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar recently took some time out of their busy Santorum-stumping schedule to spend Valentine’s Day without their kids in New York. As a cynical regular watcher of their show, I might add that there’s nothing that unusual about the couple not spending time with their kids, as the four oldest daughters are basically raising their siblings anyway. As a cynical regular watcher of their show, I might also say that this whole thing was just a... Read more

The Huffington Post Thinks Eckhart Tolle Is a Celebrity

Last updated on: February 14, 2012 at 12:36 am By Lilit Marcus

This week on the Huffington Post, Natalie Pace wrote a recap of an event held by The Global Alliance for Transformational Entertainment (GATE), an organization founded by John Raatz. The group aims to bring spirituality into entertainment and the media. But here’s my favorite line: Only here, where the ambitious GATE founder — John Raatz — and two of his celebrity friends, Eckhart Tolle and Jim Carrey, decided to “plant a new seed to yield a new crop.” Jim Carrey,...

FGP Celebrity Quote of the Week: Daniel Radcliffe Is a ‘Militant Atheist’

Last updated on: February 13, 2012 at 12:44 pm By Lilit Marcus

Actor Daniel Radcliffe, best known for being Harry Potter (although I saw him on Broadway in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying and he was so good in it, you guys), has broken from his support of Britain’s Liberal Democrats party. He announced the change in an interview with Attitude magazine, but that’s not the only interesting comment he makes. “I’m not religious, I’m an atheist, and a militant atheist when religion starts impacting on legislation,” he told...
