Woman to Woman: Designer Sue Wong’s Pretty Assault

Last updated on: October 13, 2015 at 6:37 pm By Kate O'Hare

Looking at most fashion runways, one could only conclude that lots of designers don’t like the way women look, since much of high fashion seems intended to obscure the natural female form and remake it in various bizarre ways (the fact that most models have figures more like boys than grown women doesn’t help). And then there’s Los Angeles-based designer Sue Wong. I had the pleasure of going to her Spring 2016 opening last week in Hollywood, and her colorful... Read more

Playboy Covers Up — What Does It Mean?

Last updated on: October 13, 2015 at 4:59 pm By Kate O'Hare

Playboy magazine, which led the charge to turn sex — and the female body in particular — into a public commodity has now decided that less is more. One would hope it’s the beginning of a cultural trend, but these days, it’s not safe to predict much. What we do know is that Playboy founder Hugh Hefner, 89 (likely the combined age of the last few of his wives or so), agreed to a suggestion by magazine editor Cory Jones... Read more

Is Kirsten Powers Pope Francis’ Latest Convert?

Last updated on: October 10, 2015 at 3:11 pm By Kate O'Hare

Christianity Today thinks so, in reacting to the announcement on Friday, Oct. 9, on Fox News’ “The Five” by FNC contributor and author Kirsten Powers that she will — actually, it should be happening right about now as I type, at 7 p.m. ET on Saturday, Oct. 10 — be received into the Catholic Church. In a story called “Pope Francis’ Latest Convert: Kirsten Powers,” CT said: Powers, who grew up in the Episcopal Church, became an evangelical about 9 years... Read more

‘Gosnell’ Director Nick Searcy Has Words of Film Wisdom

Last updated on: October 9, 2015 at 10:16 am By Kate O'Hare

Today on Facebook, actor/director Nick Searcy (“Justified”), who’s currently at the helm of the “Gosnell” movie, shooting in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, offered some words of wisdom for his fellow film directors. Notes to future directors: When directing a movie, 1. Wear headphones at all times, whether anything is coming through them or not. They protect you from outside noise. 2. Stay with the crew and the DP on set. Talk to the actors constantly. Make sure they are confident and... Read more

Baby Goats in Pajamas — Just Because

Last updated on: October 8, 2015 at 4:50 pm By Kate O'Hare

The Bible isn’t all that kind to goats, always leaving them on the short end of the stick compared to sheep. I get it, Christ is a shepherd, not a goatherd. And, of course, God loves all his creatures, goats included. But if the Bible writers had seen this video, they might have had a different attitude. No, I don’t know why the goat kids are in jammies, and I don’t care. Enjoy. Image: Wikimedia Commons Don’t miss a thing: head... Read more

Confessions of a Communion Line-Hopper

Last updated on: October 6, 2015 at 4:07 pm By Kate O'Hare

Back when I had just come back to the regular practice of the Faith, I accompanied a friend to Mass at her local parish in Orange County, California. I’d been away for a long time — long enough that, when I used to take Communion as a child, it was on the tongue, on our knees, from a priest, period. Granted, our small-town parish was rather behind on a lot of liturgical innovations (thank God, as it turned out). Anyway,... Read more

Three ‘Friday Night Lights’ Men — And a Baby

Last updated on: October 5, 2015 at 1:45 pm By Kate O'Hare

In January 2012, I spent a blustery day on the set of The CW’s “Hart of Dixie,” chatting with cast members — including former “Friday Night Lights” star Scott Porter. On the record, we discussed how he’d have liked to have Tim Tebow as a TV brother. Off the record, he talked about designing the engagement ring he was preparing to give his girlfriend, Kelsey Mayfield, whom he met while shooting “Friday Night Lights” in Austin, Texas (she was a University...

‘Signed, Sealed, Delivered: The Impossible Dream’: Eric Mabius on Serving a Soldier’s Story

Last updated on: October 4, 2015 at 1:25 pm By Kate O'Hare

Some cultural elites dismissed writer/producer Martha Williamson’s “Touched by an Angel” as lightweight fluff, because it didn’t feature profanity, gratuitous sex or extreme violence. All that demonstrates is that many self-proclaimed cultural elites are arrested adolescents still rebelling against mommy and daddy. They’re eager to shock and titillate and thrill, but not nearly as interested in telling a solid human story. Shakespeare, Mark Twain and Frank Capra didn’t need sensationalist crutches, and neither does Williamson. In her just-renewed movie series,“Signed, Sealed,... Read more

In this week’s issue of “Parade” magazine, actor Hugh Jackman offers a variety of fascinating insights about his life while promoting his latest movie, “Pan.” He discusses his mother leaving his family when he was eight, the Wolverine-type anger that produced inside him, the peace that acting provides, and...

Ravens’ Catholic Kicker Justin Tucker Saves the Day

Last updated on: October 2, 2015 at 8:34 pm By Kate O'Hare

It took watching a repeat airing on NFL Network on Friday morning, but I finally saw the very end of the overtime Thursday game between the Baltimore Ravens (my second-favorite team, after the Seattle Seahawks) and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Here’s how the U.K. Guardian compared the performance of Ravens kicker Justin Tucker to his less-lucky Steelers counterpart: Josh Scobee couldn’t. Twice. Justin Tucker could. Twice. The big-legged Baltimore kicker hit a 42-yard field goal to tie the Pittsburgh Steelers in the final... Read more
