Entertainment | Home & Family  Last year at this time, I invited you to sit down with your Dad for a great Father’s Day movie.  Folks seemed to enjoy my list of suggestions (below), but as they say on cable TV, “Wait! There’s More!” In the past year there have been some more-than-worthy additions to your Father’s Day Lineup (click on each title for our Movies for Grownups review): Trouble With the Curve Clint Eastwood seems to get grumpier with each successive movie—but that …

Lucci, Trebek, and Barney Make History

Posted on 06/11/2013 by | Movies & TV | Comments

Entertainment  For fans of daytime television, it was quite an afternoon at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History here in Washington, D.C., home to such cultural artifacts as the ruby red slippers Judy Garland wore in The Wizard of Oz. To help launch a new permanent exhibition of American popular culture, two genuine TV icons and the co-creators of a third, a large purple dinosaur, donated items from their personal collections. All My Children star Susan Lucci donated the …

Is ‘The Internship’ an Equal Opportunity Offender?

Posted on 06/11/2013 by | News, Culture, Sights and Sounds | Comments

EntertainmentIt’s meant to be one of The Internship’s signature comedy bits.  Failed watch salesman and Google summer intern Billy McMahon (Vince Vaughn) is trying to come up with a brand new app — if his team, which includes his buddy Nick Campbell (Owen Wilson) can create the coolest one, they’ll be a step closer to their dream of winning a full time job with the tech giant.

EntertainmentIn 70-year-old Jane Grossman’s debut thriller, Dying to Live in Palm Beach, a klatsch of aging widows support one other through thick and thin. There’s a lot of the latter. “My characters keep up the façade of living a care-free life in Palm Beach,” says Grossman. “But just below that surface you’ll find loneliness, anxiety and fear.” Grossman, who owned the famed Travelers Bookshop in Manhattan from 1982 to 1992, knows from Palm Beach, as one of her characters might say: Her …

The Best Actress in a Play category alone gives us Holland Taylor, who at 70 not only starred in, but also wrote her one-woman play about the late, …

The Real Housewives of USA at 50

Posted on 06/5/2013 by | Beauty | Comments

Beauty & Fashion | EntertainmentSuper-glam is the current new normal for women 50+…unfortunately. All across the country women are getting spray tans, hair extensions, wearing false lashes, decolletage, body hugging dresses and high heels 24/7. They feel guilty about not getting Botox, fillers, laser treatments or a facelift and spend a lot of time wondering if they should.  I blame  Bravo’s Real Housewives (past and present ) for pushing our high maintenance buttons. Lisa Vanderpump, 52, Adrienne Maloof, 51, Kim Richards, 47, LuAnn de …
