• Was 'House of Cards' Brief Leak a Brilliant Publicity Move?

    If you are a "House of Cards" fan and you happened to be in the right place at the right time Wednesday, Feb. 11, then you were able to preview the third season of the hit series. For 30 minutes last night the first 10 episodes of the new season were available on Netflix, ahead of the scheduled Feb. 27 official release. Even when the mistake was realized and the season was pulled some lucky viewers were able to continue watching. Was this brief leak an honest mistake, or was it a brilliant publicity move?

  • Tina Fey, Amy Poehler Shock Us; George Clooney Delivers Memorable Speech at Golden Globes

    Did you tune in to the 2015 Golden Globes last night, Jan. 11? Aside from the obvious awards being handed out, there are usually a bunch of moments that, let's face it, sometimes are more memorable than anything else about the show itself. This morning there are a handful of things people are talking about, like George Clooney. First, he and new wife Amal Clooney brought some of that old Hollywood glamour to the red carpet, and then he accepted his award by praising his wife. Clooney said he has waited his whole life — all 53 years of it — to find the love he now has. Aside from being gracious, acknowledging the people in France who refuse to walk in fear, Clooney also gave hope to everyone out there who has yet to find real love. The show also started with a real kick by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, who went there — and by "there" I mean the Bill Cosby scandal. Their bit about putting "the pills in the people" sent a momentary shockwave through the room before everyone actually reacted. Is it cool to make fun of the guy who helped NBC skyrocket to No. 1 so many years ago? Is it OK for women to make sideways rape jokes? Who knows, but Fey and Poehler went there and, let's face it, Cosby was the proverbial elephant in the room until they did. There is always one F-bomb, right? Kevin Spacey dropped it last night after winning Outstanding Lead Actor for his work on "House of Cards." It was his eighth nomination and first win, so we could not really blame him for being shocked to actually be holding that trophy! Chrissy Teigen's cry face has given the Twitterverse a new meme to work with this week. She was completely overcome with happy tears when her husband John Legend won the Golden Globe for Best Song.

  • London’s Jewish Cultural Centre, JW3, Opens Its Doors

    A new cultural center in London has opened its doors, and it's something new for the British capitol--a Jewish cultural center, commonly known in the U.S. (where they are far from rare) as a JCC. This has been several years in the planning and the building and the staffing, and was the brainchild of long-time arts patron Vivien Duffield.
