Though Roger Ebert would rather his thwacking ... [Lou Lumenick]
Though Roger Ebert would rather his thwacking at the hands of Lou Lumenick be forgotten, it seems that New York Post readers aren't as quick to forgive. Lumenick's last Toronto Film Festival update neglects to mention the incident (instead focusing on an Anne Hathaway/Keira Knightley Oscar showdown), but every single commenter rips into him anyway, blaming the critic for pummeling a national treasure. "So let me guess: on your next trip you're going to run over Stephen Hawkins and maybe punch Stevie Wonder,

DINNER’S READY: 9/16/08 New Releases!
Ne-Yo is the sure to be big winner this week with the release of his third studio album Year of the Gentleman, accompanied by another attempt at chart success with the release of Nelly’s Brass Knuckles. My personal favorite release would have to be Raphael Saadiq’s The Way I See It - an album complete with a 60’s feel (and a Stevie Wonder collaboration to lend its stamped seal of authenticity to the project). Also noteworthy - friend of mine, Casely has a pretty sick collaboration (̶

As soon as he's led on stage, Stevie Wonder gets a standing ovation from the packed arena audience on the first date of his UK tour – an oddly superfluous tribute, to say the least. An ovation, certainly, but standing? How's he to know, exactly? But it's some measure of the deep affection in which he's held by British fans, whose age span appears, judging by tonight's audience, to cover the proverbial eight to 80 years old – though mostly they're drawn from the forty- to fiftysomethings who grew

Celebs Out & About: 9/11
Queen Latifah probably had Alicia Keys on her mind today at the Toronto Premiere of “The Secret Life of Bees” (wasn’t that a Stevie Wonder song?). Anyway, I don’t have any insider tips on what went down between them on the set. So please don’t say you heard anything from me because I will strenuously deny the allegations. LL Cool J performed live on the CBS Early Show yesterday. I guess they told him to keep his shirt on for safety reasons. Rapper-turned-actor 50 Ce

Joan Rivers Attacks Angelina Jolie In T.V. Interview
Comedian and year round plastic faced dummy Joan Rivers talked some crap about Angelina Jolie, calling the actress “stupid”. And Rivers didn’t let it end there and didn’t hold back. She told reporters: “Well, I’ve worked with stupid actresses - I’ve worked with Angelina Jolie - she saw a sign that said ‘WET FLOOR’ one time, and she did!” I mean she’s attractive, but not a bright girl. Stunningly beautiful but stupid…she would have asked S

Ne-Yo: 'Mum's Advice Saved My Voice'
NE-YO has his mother to thank for his singing career - because she taught him how to have a more manly voice. The Because of You star admits his vocals weren't very macho when he kicked off his music career. And it was some invaluable advice from his mum - to try to imitate Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder - that caused him to change his style of singing, setting him on the path to stardom. He tells USA Today newspaper, "I hated my voice. I thought it was too high and tinny and nasal. I wanted to have m
