JEWISH. INDEPENDENT. NONPROFIT.
For the first time in years, a key component of the Academy Awards ceremony was missing on Sunday night — a person without whom, it was widely believed, the night could hardly function.

Had things gone the way they were originally supposed to, the lead role of Freddie Mercury in “Bohemian Rhapsody” – the biopic about the rock group Queen that opens on Friday, November 2 – would have been played by Sacha Baron Cohen instead of Rami Malek. That’s right: Instead of the Los Angeles-born son of…
The fate of “American Idol” contestants is far from uniform. If the universe were right and good, the winners would go on to become superstars, pumping out jam after hot summer jam, taking only brief vacations to make out with models on a yacht off the coast of Tahiti.

Glamberts rejoicing because their idol has made it to the number one spot on the Billboard chart. In what After Elton is calling a historic achievement, Adam Lambert is the first openly gay artist to have made it to the top. Lambert came close when his first album, “For Your Entertainment,” made it to the…
Remember Adam Lambert? You know, the eyeliner-wearing singer who didn’t win American Idol? For many of us, Lambert’s 15 minutes of fame have passed, but not for the “Glamberts,” his die-hard fans.
