If Whitney Houston hadn’t already left an impression on the world, she sure is leaving one since her passing in February, an event we still haven’t fully come to terms with just yet.

April 27, 2012 A father filmed his daughter every week, from birth until she turned 12 years old and his son, from birth to age 9. Then he edited the shots into a time lapse video. Of course it helps that Dad is a filmmaker, but, still, this is WAY better than an scrapbook of school pictures!
Summer movie season is gearing up — this weekend offers no fewer than four new flicks opening in wide release.
A few weeks ago, TIME Magazine revealed the names it was considering for its annual list of the ’100 Most Influential People in the World.’ Reader votes determined one person, while the rest were selected by the magazine’s editors.

April 19, 2012 Dick Clark yesterday, Levon Helm today. My icons are dropping like flies. You may be thinking, "Icon? Who was he?" You're probably more familiar with his work than you realize.
