Sean McMaster — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 14:07:56 +0000

While he is not “Country”, I’m not sure who doesn’t appreciate the amazing voice of Michael Buble.

Is Hollywood's "Cute Girl" Kristen Bell Really A Bad Girl? – [VIDEO]

Sean McMaster — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 16:38:11 +0000

Kristen Bell is adorable, no doubt. I have seen her through the years in “Veronica Mars” and ”When in Rome” but it wasn’t until I recently saw “You Again?” that I officially established a bit of a crush on her. Now, I may actually lose that crush. I know, it may be shallow of me, [...]

OK, I'll Admit It-I Watched Kate Plus 8 On TLC. There-I Said It.

Richie Phillips — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 13:44:52 +0000

Why? Will you tell me why I end up watching the very thing I’m so silently critical of – mindless reality shows? Does this happen to you? What IS IT about these shows that you can’t turn them off? First it’s HGTV with all those real estate shows. House after house after house. How many [...]

Scott Blaine — Mon, 27 Jun 2011 20:08:43 +0000

It's Summer time and it's almost July so that means that many fairs will be starting up before you know it. I love going to a county fair. I love the rides. I love the food, especially the Fried Dough. Most of all, I love all the great entertainment that is provided at all the area fairs. Whether it's a local or national act, it's always nice to get out and enjoy the atmosphere and soak in the great tunes.

The News Of The Week Of April 4th Put To Rhyme (AUDIO)

Richie Phillips — Thu, 07 Apr 2011 16:28:32 +0000

This is always a difficult bit for me to put together. It takes discipline to write a News of the Week song every week, but it was my New Year’s resolution to try to do this on a more regular basis. There have been so many things good and bad this week. Everything from [...]

Dancing With The Stars Or Obama's Libya Speech?

Richie Phillips — Wed, 30 Mar 2011 13:31:48 +0000

You can say what you want pro or con about President Obama, but at least he’s realistic. At least he’s a little bit sensitive to the interests of the politically conscious, news hungry American public. Get this- According to New York Times. President Obama’s speech making the case for intervention in Libya came after some high-level [...]

A Reality Show Question On The SAT's? Say What?

Richie Phillips — Sat, 19 Mar 2011 16:03:14 +0000

I wish I saved the airsick bag from my last Southwest Airlines flight. I need it this morning. Or at least I thought I did. Did my "headline" grab your attention? Just when you finished chastising your kids for watching garbage on TV, i.e. Jersey Shore, guess what subject pops up on the SAT college entrance exams??

With No Carell The Office Should Be Closed

Richie Phillips — Thu, 03 Mar 2011 13:19:09 +0000

There are certain characters on TV that, once they are established, become synonymous with the show. Face it, as much as Charlie Sheen has disrupted “Two And A Half Men”, you and I well know that the show is nothing without him. They may just cave in to Charlie’s demands, but if not, they will try [...]

I Went To The Hogwart School! Really!

Richie Phillips — Wed, 02 Mar 2011 16:28:04 +0000

Don’t believe me? I’ll make a fairly long story short, but I honestly did, with a picture to prove it. Several years ago we were on vacation and met a really wonderful couple from England, the Hearsey’s. They ended up coming to NY and staying with us, and then they returned the favor. Again, this [...]

People Who Tell You How A Movie Ends. Bad!

Richie Phillips — Wed, 23 Feb 2011 13:47:03 +0000

Don’t you HATE people who do that? Your friends will describe a movie they just saw and go just a LITTLE too far with the plotline. I don’t want to know the ending, but in case you do, “there’s an app for that” Well, not exactly an app. But there are a couple of wackos [...]

Do Museums Bore You? These Won't! (video)

Richie Phillips — Fri, 04 Feb 2011 14:07:23 +0000

Sorry, but although I’m usually happy to hear that we’re going to a museum, when I get there, I get “antsy”. Just being honest. Maybe I ain’t got no culture? No, not necessarily…. it has to be the right kind of museum. You feel the same? I need multi-media! Not just a bunch of glass cases [...]

Richie Phillips — Tue, 01 Feb 2011 14:11:57 +0000

You can almost predict who will win the Academy Rewards on Sunday. (They’re not MY predictions, mind you. I ain’t that smart).

Richie Phillips — Fri, 28 Jan 2011 17:13:35 +0000

Not sure if you know this or not (or care!), but before I got into this crazy little thing called radio, I was a piano bar player! I played some wacky places, but never like this! How did a piano get put on a sandbar in Biscayne Bay Florida? According to the Associated Press: Nicholas [...]

Wikileaks The Movie Coming Soon

Richie Phillips — Thu, 27 Jan 2011 13:00:48 +0000

You knew it would happen sooner or later. As soon as you heard the story of Julian Assange and Wikileaks, you probably said to yourself “sounds like something you’d see in the movies”. Be careful what you wish for… Introducing WIKILEAKS the motion picture! It’s basically the screen adaptation of the forthcoming biography about the [...]

Don't Forget The Golden Globes Award Show

Richie Phillips — Sun, 16 Jan 2011 02:57:37 +0000

Very exciting! The Golden Globe Awards, Sunday nite on NBC starting at 8PM. This is the 68th Awards Show, by the way. (No, I don’t remember the first one, Sean!!!) I always feel very inferior watching these shows, because invariably I haven’t seen 99% of the movies being nominated. Ironically, we just came back from [...]
