ABC Skewers Catholics in ‘The Real O’Neals’ UPDATED

Last updated on: May 13, 2015 at 7:59 am By Kate O'Hare

UPDATE 2: The trailer is also on YouTube, and now we’re back in business! UPDATE: Shortly after this was posted, access to the video (and to most of the other ABC trailer videos) was shut down on the sites that had posted it. It’s hard to describe what goes on in it, except to say that it’s a savage, if you will, caricature of a Catholic family and the Faith, where the parents are divorcing, one son has anorexia, the...

Kirsten Powers on ‘The Silencing’ of Free Speech

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

The very ideology that championed freedom of expression in the ’60s and led the charge into the Sexual Revolution has now declared victory for itself … and the power to dictate what can and cannot be said is apparently one of the spoils of war. In an extensive interview with Christianity Today, Fox News contributor, Democrat, self-proclaimed liberal and former Clinton administration staffer Kirsten Powers talks about her new book, “The Silencing: How the Left Is Killing Free Speech,” published on Monday, May 11....

‘A.D.’ Star Chipo Chung Thinks Mary Magdalene Was ‘Robust’

Last updated on: May 9, 2015 at 6:39 pm By Kate O'Hare

Like classical theater and many other Bible adaptations, we’re not to pay too much attention to the ethnicities of the cast in NBC’s “A.D.: The Bible Continues,” whether it’s Irishman Vincent Regan as Pontius Pilate, Argentinean Juan Pablo Di Pace as Jesus, or Zimbabwe-born Chipo Chung as Mary Magdalene. Born to a Zimbabwean government official and a mother descended from Chinese immigrants to the southern African nation, cum laude Yale graduate Chung has brought fire and verve to the role...

Big Bird and the Boy Who Smiled at Last

Last updated on: May 9, 2015 at 11:32 am By Kate O'Hare

You know those stories that always promise you’ll bawl like a baby? Yeah, this one just may do it. On Reddit, Caroll Spinney, the puppeteer behind “Sesame Street’s” Oscar the Grouch and Big Bird for the last 46 years, was doing an AMA (Ask Me Anything) to promote a new documentary about him called, “I Am Big Bird: The Caroll Spinney Story.” He said this about the movie: If you like the Muppets – it’s a movie for anybody. It... Read more

Bono and Jimmy Fallon Laugh at Fear

Last updated on: May 9, 2015 at 10:24 am By Kate O'Hare

One sign of a resilient spirit is the ability to find humor in the wake of misfortune — and to be able, no matter your stature or situation, to laugh at yourself. Bono and “Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon showed how that goes in this clip from last night’s episode on NBC, a response to a terrifying bicycle accident the U2 frontman suffered in late 2014: From BBC.com: U2 frontman Bono says he fears that he may never play guitar...

2015-2016 TV Season: The Good, the Bad & the Savage

Last updated on: May 8, 2015 at 8:34 am By Kate O'Hare

If you’re expecting the appearance of “A.D.: The Bible Continues” on NBC to be a harbinger of things to come on network television, don’t start saying your thanksgiving rosaries just yet. The drama, based on the Gospels, the Acts of the Apostles and other historical sources regarding the years after the Crucifixion, is not exactly burning up the ratings charts — although, at 5.47M viewers for the last episode, it’s not a disaster either — and it’s definitely on the...

Author Dana Perino of ‘The Five’ on Forgiveness

Last updated on: May 7, 2015 at 12:08 pm By Kate O'Hare

When you stand to pray, forgive anyone against whom you have a grievance, so that your heavenly Father may in turn forgive you your transgressions. … Mark: 11:25 In one chapter of her new book, “And the Good News Is …: Lessons and Advice From the Bright Side,” Dana Perino, one of the co-hosts on Fox’s weekday roundtable show “The Five,” recalls a 2008 incident when she was press secretary for President George W. Bush. One of her predecessors, Scott... Read more

Laverne Cox, Bruce Jenner and a New Evangelization

Last updated on: May 5, 2015 at 11:24 am By Kate O'Hare

Whatever you think of the physical and psychological realities of transgenderism, there’s a concerted push in the media to make it not only socially acceptable but a cause for celebration and admiration. We’ve seen this play out over and over again in Hollywood, whether on behalf of ethnic or racial minorities or for any number of sexual identities and proclivities. When the media takes up a cause, it has many ways to slip supportive messages into TV shows, movies, music,... Read more

At the Met Gala, Beauty Is Just Skin Deep — Or Just Skin

Last updated on: May 5, 2015 at 9:55 am By Kate O'Hare

Thanks, nearly naked female celebrities at Monday’s Met Gala in New York City, for reminding us why men are considered people, while women are often thought of as just decorative objects. The annual event, which marks the opening of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s yearly Costume Institute exhibit, is a night for taking fashion to the edge — and sometimes right over it. From Defamer: Last night’s Met Gala was a real yawn. The theme—China: Through the Looking Glass—threatened to be a... Read more

‘The Flash’s’ Andrew Kreisberg on the ‘Hope’ That Won a Christopher

Last updated on: May 5, 2015 at 7:41 am By Kate O'Hare

In a quest to be taken seriously, comic-book superheroes — and the movies made about them — have become steadily darker, grittier and more dystopian. “Marvel’s Daredevil,” which just posted its first season on Netflix, is a example of that, all angst and crime and violence, shot in dark, rainswept alleyways, with a hefty dose of Catholic guilt thrown in for good measure. But over on The CW, season one of “The Flash,” — which concludes on Tuesday, May 19,... Read more
