Amber Holley: When Hollywood Calls Morals Into Question: A Lesson From the Book of Jon

Sat, 7 Nov 2009 20:17:30 +0000

Sometime last week, I stumbled across a short story describing a man who was being publicly accused of walking -- or, more accurately, sprinting -- down a path of indecency and inappropriateness that offended "social conventions or public morals." The man was specifically condemned for committing no less than three of the Seven Deadly Sins and then breaking a commandment or two, to boot. However, unlike a biblical allegory, there was no indication of the man's proposed countermove. No metaphorical slingshot. Thus, at the end of my read, I asked myself: WWJD? In my story, though, the "J" stands for Jon. Gosselin, to be precise. And the controversy described above refers to a recent lawsuit filed by Discovery Talent Services, LLC, a talent agency which secures the services of individuals who appear in TLC's programming, against Gosselin and his loan-out company, JKIG Inc. Although the complaint alleges that Gosselin breached certain provisions of his contract with the agency by, among ...

Kristi York Wooten: How David Hasselhoff Toppled the Berlin Wall: Music Memories From November, 1989

Sat, 7 Nov 2009 20:05:00 +0000

One crisp autumn morning after a long night of Wildbrau beer and Spaetzle noodles, I awoke atop an Ikea bunk bed to find David Hasselhoff hovering over me, wearing nothing but his "Baywatch" bikini. I was disoriented. He was tan and hairy, with a smile the size of Stuttgart. When I leaned in to have a closer look, we bumped noses. Lucky for me, he was just a magazine pinup taped to the ceiling. (Darn the low clearance in these Hanseatic-era houses!) I heard a muffled giggle from the bunk below, then I remembered where I was: spending the weekend in Hamburg with a friend's family and her five younger siblings. The Hasselhoff-on-the-ceiling prank was but one in a long line of pop-cultural awakenings I experienced in the fall of 1989 during my semester abroad in the land of eternal Oktoberfest. In those days, a still-divided Germany lay at the crux of tradition and tackiness. Sure, the West had the historic part down pat: Albrecht Durer's self-portrait in Munich's Alte Pinakothek and the ...

Regina Weinreich: Remembering Tennessee Williams

Sat, 7 Nov 2009 15:34:36 +0000

Playwright John Patrick Shanley referring to Tennessee Williams as a "gorgeous unstoppable beast," recounted an incident in a restaurant when he, a budding writer, maybe thirty feet away from the master dramatist, could not bring himself to say hello. Such is the power of "influence" that any person in theater would stand in awe of this writer of poetry, short stories and the extraordinary body of plays for which he is best known. Shanley was among two dozen speakers who paid tribute to Tennessee Williams at the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine on Thursday evening, themselves a Who's Who of American theater: Vanessa Redgrave who had originated the role of "Lady" in "Orpheus Descending" read from "Not About Nightingales," Marian Seldes who created the role of Blackie in "Milk Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore," Sylvia Miles performed her role, Mrs. Wire, from the 1978 London production of "Vieux Carre."
