Episode 13: Jesus H. Krypton!

That new Superman movie is Christ-tastic, isn’t it, kids? That’s a rhetorical question. Empirically speaking, Man of Steel has to be the most religiously pushy piece of moviemaking since Battlefield Earth. And I’m not the only one who thinks so. 

Listen in to Episode 13 of my Fame Fatale podcast to learn just how Christian our friend from Krypton has gotten, plus hear some insight on this topic from the fabulous Siike Donnelly, host of Up, Up and Away, and a resident DC comics expert at the iconic Golden Apple in Los Angeles.

Plus! 

• Would you pay $50 to see World War Z? What if it came with, um, a limited edition poster? And is this the future of movie ticket prices?
• Which highfalutin movie director had a highfalutin lunch just a few feet from me and managed to walk away unharmed?
• Is Will Smith’s career over because of After Earth? Do you want it to be?

And, back and badder then ever... Baby Vegas.

Episode 12: Pretty little writers room

Another edition of my podcast is here! If you’re a fan of episodic drama, rejoice. Rejoice all over again if you like shows such as Pretty Little Liars, because our new installment of The Fame Fatale features an in-depth interview with one of the show writers! One of you wrote in asking how such shows get plotted out, and I got the answer for you, and so much more.

Plus!

• Are there lies printed on celebrity death certificates? It’s not a dumb question, and I explain why, with the help of crack wills and estates attorney Irwin Feinberg.
• Want an Oscar? Be prepared to shell out...and butter up a critic or two. I have the dish on the Academy Award submission rules. If you’re a small-budget filmmaker, or merely unconnected, then you’re already at a disadvantage.
• Can we live without Game of Thrones? The Nerd-Out co-host Lisa Jenkins and I discuss the relative bad-assery of Tywin Lannister vs. budding murderer Arya Stark. It’s how we say goodbye to Season 3 of HBO’s best current show.

Episode 11: How to scrub Google like a dirty celeb

We’re pleased to announce the 11th episode of The Fame Fatale! This particular edition is fed by conspiracy-minded readers eager to know whether stars are secretly manipulating the Intertubes with occult online reputation-scrubbing techniques. The answer is yes, and it's called "Google suppression." And, per usual, I have proof. You won’t want to miss my interview with veteran PR consultant and Reputation.com vice chairman Howard Bragman. Does he name names? Yep. Yep, boy howdy, he does.

Also! People are concerned about Portia de Rossi, which, in my world, means that people want to know if de Rossi has done something to her face. I ran some photos past friendly neighborhood plastic surgeon-to-the-stars Dr. Brent Moelleken. Short answer: Vegans rejoice.

And, oh! Hey! Did you catch that fabulous wedding on Game of Thrones? Wasn’t it romantic? You don’t think anybody’s bought those crazy kids a chip-n-dip yet, do you? Because mine’s in the mail. Co-host Lisa Jenkins (one half of The Nerd Out podcast) and I break down this game-changer of an episode. I even manage to find something negative to say. Please don’t slice my throat in my sleep.
