The DL: Future Movie Projects for 'American Idol' Stars

Jennifer Hudson has apparently set the movie-watching world on fire. I say "apparently" because I haven't seen 'Dreamgirls' yet. I saw 'Pan's Labyrinth.' That was good. Without seeing 'Dreamgirls,' it's still exciting to hear about a young star who is able to make the leap into super-stardom, as Jennifer seems to have done. But the real question ...

The DL: Dude, We Went to 'Lebowski' Fest

It's tempting to make fun of the people at 'The Big Lebowski' Fest, because, you know, they're all dressed up like bowling pins and Viking girls and stuff.

The DL: 30 Seconds to Blog with Popbytes

Courtney Love. She's crazy, right? That's a matter of opinion. What's more certain is that she's still very much in the scene. "The scene" being the "famous person" scene. I can't remember right now if she's still making music, but I'm pretty sure she's still putting herself in a position to be thrown out of things, like restaurants or airports. MK ...

The DL: Web Nostalgia with the Hamster Dance

You kids with your viral videos of impossible martial arts, or terrible auditions for 'Full Metal Jacket,' or your 'Dick in a Box.' What happened to the old days? The classic, golden era when the internet audience could be mesmerized by much simpler things? Specifically, by a page filled with animated GIFs of hamsters dancing? Yeah, the Hamster ...
