And Lo, The Seventh Seal Opens... (Wizbang Pop!)

Just because she happens to have a number one single, a triple platinum album and one of the best shoe collections this side of Imelda Marcos' Swiss safe deposit box does NOT mean that she should automatically be allowed to make another movie.

For those of us fortunate enough to have not experienced PTSD as a result of viewing Glitter, Mariah Carey's got something else planned for you.

Do Mariah Carey and movies belong together? Apparently, producer Lee Daniels (Monster's Ball) thinks so, as he's cast the pop star in the indie drama Tennessee, in which she'll play a waitress who tries to locate her long-lost father after her brother is diagnosed with leukemia. Daniels told Variety that he'd never seen Carey's 2001 debacle Glitter (well, duh!), but that her recent musical comeback and her work in 2002's Wisegirls convinced him she was right for the part.

Okay, everyone deserves a second chance and the opportunity to try their hand at good wholesome family entertainment, but like Iran and nuclear weapons, sometimes you just haven't built up the trust necessary for the rest of the world to give you the benefit of the doubt. The world must make a value judgment here. It may be better to err on the side of caution.

Perhaps someone can convince the United Nations that this is worth a resolution or two.

Wizbang Blue: The Democratic View of Palin's Speech

This report pretty much echoes my own sentiment after watching Palin last night. She's a great little Teleprompter reader, and she reads the stand-up comedy one-liners fed to her by the McCain speech writing team like a champ, but other than her ability to smirk on cue there wasn't much to brag about in her speech - just 'more of the same' attack lines, interspersed with 'more of the same' applause lines.
