The Utterly Pleasing Zoë Kravitz

When your mother is one of the most breathtaking visions to ever grace the boob tube, it’s pretty obviously that you’re not going to grow up to be anything short of dazzling. And that’s certainly true of the utterly pleasing Zoë Kravitz, a product of the marriage between comely Cosby kid Lisa Bonet and psychedelic crooner Lenny Kravitz. Having such wildly creative parents, Zoë showed an affinity for the arts at a young age but wisely put off pursuing a career until she came of age. All the better for skin fans! Zoë made her debut in No Reservations (2007) and the same year appeared in The Brave One alongside Jodie Foster. She wasn’t a brave one when it came to flashing flesh, but after appearing in Assassination of a High School President (2008), Zoë took a hint from nudity-loving costar ...

Florida University’s Hospitality Course A Place Where Celebrities Routinely Drop In

Celebrities routinely drop in on this Florida university’s hospitality course. Uncommon Courses is an occasional series from The Conversation U.S. highlighting unconventional approaches to teaching. Title of course: “The David Grutman Experience” What prompted the idea for the course? The first time David Grutman, a Miami businessman who runs a growing hospitality empire, told me he wanted to teach a class, I thought he meant he wanted to do a single guest lecture. He had already been guest-speaking in the nightclub management class for several semesters, so turning one session over to David didn’t seem like such a huge leap. When David clarified that he wanted to teach an entire course on entrepreneurship – drawing from his own experiences – I thought it would be a great...

Shows That Inspire Women To Become Involved In Politics In Real Life

Shows like ‘Scandal’ and ‘Madam Secretary’ inspire women to become involved in politics in real life. Hillary Clinton famously did not win the 2016 election and become the first female U.S. president. Yet Clinton’s presidential campaign still resonated with many women who have said it made them more likely to get involved in politics. When women run for office, it can inspire other women and girls to become more politically active. Clinton, Vice President Kamala Harris, presidential candidate Nikki Haley and other high-profile female politicians have motivated women to follow in their footsteps and consider running for office. It turns out that same sort of inspiration can happen when a female politician is not actually real, but instead is a character on a fictional TV show. I am a ...

We Love The Talk Shows

The talk shows we love: Dignity-crushing machines? Talk shows are not just a form of harmless entertainment where social issues are discussed. The choices made in production and by the host can harm the guests appearing on the show, particularly regarding the humiliation techniques used. In the world of academic research surrounding culture, media and entertainment, the study of talk shows has a rather humble place, informed primarily by semiology (the study of signs and their meanings), journalism studies and language sciences. In such contexts, this media genre appears innocuous, using mainly discursive strategies such as interviews or debates for the purpose of informing or entertaining the public while exploiting topics of public interest. However, placed under the lens of a prac...

The Cute Rabbi In ‘Nobody Wants This’

In ‘Nobody Wants This,’ rom-com gets century-old tropes with a new twist – the cute rabbi. Twenty years ago, the television show “The O.C.” invented the word “Chrismukkah.” Main character Seth Cohen, played by Adam Brody, described his interfaith family’s December tradition of “eight days of presents followed by one day of lots of presents.” Today Brody is back, starring in a new Netflix show. But this time, instead of playing the child of an interfaith marriage, he is a rabbi dating a woman “without a Jewish bone in her body” – one who, at times, seems unfamiliar with the basics of American Jewish culture. “Nobody Wants This” is the story of a romance between Rabbi Noah and Joanne, played by Kristen Bell: a blond, non-Jewish woman who hosts a podcast about her dating disasters. The s...

Kiss And Tell Celebrity Gossip

The term 'media whore' is now widely used in celebrity gossip circles. Though it may come across as something derogatory if you go by the literary meaning of the term, the same cannot be said if you take it as a modern idiom. It refers to celebrities who always court celeb gossip reporters to get themselves into the focus. They deliberately make off-color comments to create a controversy in the pages of entertainment news. This category of celebrities, mostly ex reality show stars or mainstream celebrities past their primes, manage to grab headlines not just by making statements which are bizarre and fictional. They sometimes get into relationships with bona-fide celebrities to bask in the sunlight of short-lived fame. Kiss and tell stories are ones where the partner of a celebrity sells ...
