Those wacky comedic troupe kids over at SPF7 honor two-time Oscar-winning Yalie and secretly Sapphic actress/director Jodie Foster with "poetic poetry poems" as performed by a spot-on Foster look-alike. (Good Lord, that was a lot of hyphening. Whew.) She's no Meg Tilly or Jewel, but then again, who is? Anyway, check them out. (One more after le jump!) more ›

The "Celebrities Doing Things" reality TV trend continues tonight on ABC with "Fast Cars & Superstars." This sounds almost as stupid as that show that had LaToya Jackson arresting people in Indiana. Is it any surprise the "celebrities" in this reality show/product placement vehicle include the likes of Jewel, William Shatner, and wrestler John Cena? more ›

Book section: The guilty pleasure of the Da Vinci Code. SFIFF. Meredith eats French! Good thing Ced's away, as we expect he was driven to heights of fury by the part where Meredith asks why a confit of rabbit isn't the same as a rabbit terrine.
