Two Dogs Just Got Married In A $750 Ceremony

I don’t know what they have. They could have really good chew toys. More »

Oprah Looks Really Great In The Butler

Well, I’ve been anticipating The Great Gatsby for a really long time, and I guess that did not work out for me. Not even a little bit. So what historical epic do I have to look forward to, now? The Butler. The story traces the life of Eugene Allen (Forest Whitaker) who was butler at the White House for 40 years (through 8 presidents). Oprah plays his wife.

And I am sure I would have loved it, if the Jay Gatsby Baz Luhrmann created and Leonardo DiCaprio portrayed was not such an absolutely relentless jerk. More »
