Barbara Walters names Hillary Clinton Most Fascinating Person of the Year

Barbara Walters named Hillary Clinton Most Fascinating Person of the Year tonight in her 2013 countdown show of the 10 Most Fascinating People. Clinton came as somewhat of a surprise, as this was the first time in decades that neither Hillary nor former president Bill Clinton have been in any type of public office. Getting out of the spotlight was a welcome relief for the former secretary of state. “I wanted to get off the high wire,” Clinton told Walters.  She wanted to “spend time doing things that give us a lot of joy – play with our dogs, go […]

Will Phil Robertson’s anti-gay comments hurt “Duck Dynasty”?

Update: A&E announced that it has suspended Phil Robertson from appearing on Duck Dynasty, Entertainment Weekly reports. Well, I think if we were all being honest with ourselves, we just had to wonder when something like this was going to happen. Phil Robertson’s comments to GQ, during which he bluntly relates his interpretation of the Bible’s stance on homosexuality, have sparked an outrage, one that threatens to take Duck Dynasty from a show that we can all like to one that becomes a referendum on your morality and politics. Sigh, let’s hope not. In a rollicking, wholly entertaining interview with […]

SOAPnet going off the air at end of 2013

Like many a soap opera storyline, the saga of SOAPnet’s ultimate fate has been stretched out for a long time now, with many fans of the channel wondering, “When is SOAPnet going off the air?” ever since word started in 2011 that the network would be ending and making way for Disney Junior. ABC has confirmed with us that SOAPnet will be ending at the end of 2013, and it doesn’t seem likely to pull the “back from the dead” maneuver that so many characters in soap history have managed. “SOAPnet goes off the air at 11:59pm Dec 31st” read […]
