Addiction — The One Area Where Celebrities are Just Like Us
After a brief respite from being plastered all over every website and magazine, Lindsay Lohan is back in the press. This time because she was seen drinking champagne on New Year’s Eve. For any other person, and even many other celebrities, this wouldn’t be that big of a deal. Even for some recovering alcoholics, this wouldn’t be that big of a deal. But, for LiLo, it’s as if she has committed the biggest crime.
Gossage Elected to Baseball Hall of Fame
Being elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame is the ultimate compliment for a player. Since the first class in 1936, the names read like a ‘who’s who’ for greatness in the National Pastime. The lone player inductee this summer can stand on his own, as he did 22 years on the mound as one of the game’s best closers. Rich “Goose” Gossage, who is best known from his days with the New York Yankees, will be enshrined and be a proud member of an exclusive club.

All those wonderful things I planned to do-- just don’t get done. So this year, I decided to try another trick to help me make some much needed improvements in the coming year. I’m going to mix it up and put a whole new twist on my New Year’s resolutions: a handy-dandy, detailed To Do(N’T) list.
Aliens Vs. Predator: Requiem
Merriam-Webster defines a Requiem as “A mass or solemn chant for the dead.” That alone tells us that no good will befall any of the characters involved in today’s review- 20th Century Fox’s Aliens Vs. Predator: Requiem, a sequel to 2004’s fairly brain-dead Alien vs. Predator. The original film pitted the title creatures, both “stars” of their respective franchises, against one another for some hot monster-on-monster action.
