Dancing Before the Lord — in iPhone Slo-Mo (Video)

Last updated on: March 16, 2015 at 4:27 pm By Kate O'Hare

I’m off in a little bit to watch auditions for Fox’s reality-competition show “So You Think You Can Dance,” and this caught my eye. Those who decry technology and constantly want people to put down their smartphones don’t think about all the wonderful things these miraculous little devices can do, for a fraction of the cost of doing the same thing even a few years ago. For example, take the slow-motion video feature on the iPhone 6: Heres more on... Read more

‘Little Boy’: Eduardo Verastegui’s Faith Story With a Universal Message

Last updated on: April 23, 2015 at 11:22 am By Kate O'Hare

On April 24, Open Road Films releases “Little Boy” in theaters nationwide (trailer embedded at the bottom). Executive-produced by Mark Burnett and Roma Downey (“The Bible,” “Son of God,” the upcoming “A.D.: The Bible Continues”), the feature film stars newcomer Jakob Salvati as Pepper, a k a “Little Boy,” a diminutive 7-year-old who follows his priest’s (Tom Wilkinson) advice and, armed only with “faith the size of a mustard seed,” goes on an odyssey to fulfill the “ancient list” — which Catholics...

Shonda Rhimes Talks About ‘Normalizing’ TV and ‘No Gay Scenes’

Last updated on: March 15, 2015 at 10:12 pm By Kate O'Hare

From Variety, Sunday, March 15: “Shonda Rhimes Talks of ‘Normalizing TV at HRC Gala”: When a viewer complained last fall that the “gay scenes” on “Scandal” and “How to Get Away With Murder” were “too much,” creator Shonda Rhimes shot back, “There are no GAY scenes. There are scenes with people in them.” On Saturday, Rhimes was among the honorees at the Human Rights Campaign’s Los Angeles Gala, and she explained her approach to TV as simply trying to be normal. “I...

HBO’s ‘The Jinx’: TV and the Murder Arrest of Robert Durst

Last updated on: March 15, 2015 at 10:19 pm By Kate O'Hare

Finally, there might be a chance of justice for “Mafia princess” Susan Berman — and in the end, it may come down to the sin of pride. Back in 1996, I did a telephone interview with Berman, daughter of a man involved in the Las Vegas mob, about an A&E documentary made about her experiences growing up in that world and her realization, late in life, about her father’s criminal activities. We hit it off, bonding over telling stories of Meyer Lansky... Read more

Bristol Palin to Marry Medal of Honor Recipient Dakota Meyer

Last updated on: March 14, 2015 at 9:23 am By Kate O'Hare

The scorn of the world hasn’t defeated Bristol Palin, and it looks like she just scored a big romantic win. From her mother’s vice-presidential bid in 2008 to “Dancing With the Stars” to her own Lifetime reality-TV show until today, America has had a front-row seat to the saga of the single mother, daughter of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. It’s been a hard road for the 24-year-old, whose unplanned teen pregnancy became instant worldwide news when Sen. John McCain tapped her mother as his... Read more

Making USA’s ‘Dig’ in Israel (and Elsewhere)

Last updated on: March 13, 2015 at 3:58 pm By Kate O'Hare

I’ll be writing more about USA Network’s event series “Dig,” airing Thursdays, after you guys get to see tonight’s episode — but I will say, I’ve seen three, and so far I like it — but the story of how it got made is pretty interesting as well. It’s the creation of Gideon Raff, the Israeli writer behind Showtime’s “Homeland” and FX’s “Tyrant,” and Tim Kring, best known for NBC’s “Heroes” and Fox’s “Touch.” One of Kring’s favorite themes is...

Fox News Adds Pro-Life MLK Niece Alveda King

Last updated on: March 12, 2015 at 2:22 pm By Kate O'Hare

Over at my other home, CatholicVote: After years of featuring her as a commentator on several of its shows, Fox News Channel has signed pro-life advocate Alveda King, niece of civil-rights luminary Dr. Martin Luther King, as a regular contributor, discussing social and cultural issues across FNC’s daytime and primetime programming. King — who has an honorary Doctorate of Laws Degrees from the Benedictine Saint Anselm College, and often goes by “Dr. King” — is the daughter of civil-rights activist... Read more

TLC Announces Series With Teen ‘Transgender’ Activist

Last updated on: March 12, 2015 at 9:36 am By Kate O'Hare

TLC, once upon a time called The Learning Channel (those days are long gone), is fighting for viewers in a crowded cable-TV field, and for better or worse, controversy sells. And, like anyone else, TLC execs want to be thought well of in the industry and be acclaimed as pioneers (and thereby keep their jobs). So, if there’s a shiny new cause they can champion that accomplishes all those things, they’re on it. From today’s The Hollywood Reporter “Transgender Teen... Read more

Joseph to ‘Justified’ to ‘One Big Happy,’ Choices and Consequences

Last updated on: March 11, 2015 at 4:25 pm By Kate O'Hare

On March 19, we celebrate the Solemnity of St. Joseph, husband to Mary and stepfather to Jesus, a man who, through no fault of his own, found himself in the ultimate irregular parenting situation and stepped up for both his wife and the child entrusted to him. Like Joseph, not every parent or child gets the perfect nuclear family, even if it’s what they wanted. Biological, adoptive, foster and stepparents deal with unplanned pregnancies, absent or abusive spouses, and other people’s... Read more

Jimmy Graham: From a Group Home to the Seattle Seahawks

Last updated on: March 11, 2015 at 10:39 pm By Kate O'Hare

There’s been a lot of trading going on during free-agent time in the NFL, and today, former New Orleans Saints tight end Jimmy Graham just landed at my team, the Seattle Seahawks (click here for reactions from his new teammates). From a story at ESPN: Graham, 28, is regarded as one of the best pass-catching tight ends in the NFL, a player who often lines up as a wide receiver. He has 4,752 receiving yards and 51 touchdowns since entering... Read more
