Billy-Bob Jerkton
If you haven’t seen it yet, CBC’s Jian Ghomeshi handled himself brilliantly in the presence of a billigerent, egomaniacal and angry Billy-Bob Thornton yesterday. Ghomeshi was interviewing the “musician” and inadvertently angered Thornton by referring to his acting career, which is obviously how most of us would know him, despite the fact that he apparently thinks of himself as a legendary musical genius. …

Review: Milk
A film such as this, about a little-known (on a wide scale) gay activist who truly helped change the world for the better, upsets me as much as I enjoy watching and learning about such inspirational people. …

So Much Wasted (magazine and newspaper) Space
