Nicolas Cage as You've Never Seen Him: as a Snow Monkey

By David Moye - AOL News

(Sept. 8) -- Celebrity culture might be low-brow, but that doesn't mean it hasn't influenced the high art world. Just ask artist Brandon Bird, who is having his own brush with fame thanks to his paintings of celebrities like Chuck Norris, Christopher Walken and Nicolas Cage. Bird, 30, is not content to simply regurgitate their mugs as seen on TV. No, Bird prefers to go boldly where the celebrities -- and their fans -- would never imagine. For instance, he painted an oil portrait of former "Friends" star David Schwimmer gleefully performing water aerobics and depicted a car chase sequence ...

Obituaries for People (and Animals) Who Never Actually Lived

By Marc Hartzman - AOL News

(July 16) -- Any parent who's been forced to spend five minutes watching Barney, the purple dinosaur from hell, has prayed for a meteor to strike him down.

'Hillary!' TV Show: Clinton Defense Secretary Rumors Thicken Plot

NBC lowered the gavel on "Law & Order." Fox decided "24" had run out of time. On a personal note, even my sister Meredith Stiehm's "Cold Case" got left in the cold after seven seasons on CBS. Set here in Washington, however, we have a drama series playing that's not likely to be canceled anytime soon. Though made for television, this political show airs in real time, with assorted character arcs, high production values ...

Emily's Post: From Gossip Fodder to Gossip Columnist

By Emily Miller - Politics Daily

Having been fodder for every gossip column in town, starting today I'm turning the tables -- and becoming one D.C. gossip columnist who fully gets what it's like to be on the receiving end. Everybody knows Washington politics is not for the meek or thin-skinned. And I've lived, worked and loved D.C. politics and media since I was 18 years old. In the years since, I've toiled on the Hill, at the State Department, in the Bush 43 administration, and for the Washington bureaus of two TV network news divisions. I've also counted chads in the Florida recount, run for my life from the Capitol on ...
