Questions for the Zeitgeist- May 1, 2006

1- With Denzel’s lukewarm reception in last year’s “Julius Caesar”, Ali MacGraw’s not-so-critically-acclaimed return to the public eye in “Festen”, and now Julia Roberts’ questionable debut in “Three Days of Rain” : Are movie stars with little to NO theatrical training beginning to realize why they’re MOVIE stars?


2- Given his Page Six “payola-scheme-gone-wrong”, who in the world would want to be Jared Paul Stern right now?


3- Okay, so someone got arrested trying to parachute off of the Empire State Building. The REAL question is: when is someone going to try to skateboard down the ramp at the (newly-refurbished) Prada store in Soho?

4- With a CD that went “triple-wood”, a collection of movies that grossed less than the total of a Paris Hilton shopping spree, and the recent revelation that he cheated notoriously on his girl/self-proclaimed best friend Christina Milian, exactly how WACK is Nick Cannon? And when is he going to stop trying to be this generation’s Will Smith?

5- When, in the last 2 months, have you heard ANYONE say the words “Hillary for President”?

6- Does anyone really care about 50 Cents’ beef with Oprah?

7- Why do gay nuptials destroy the sanctity of marriage (according to Christian Right Fundamentalists), but 2 women wearing wedding dresses fighting over a dwarf on the Jerry Springer show…not?
