Dennis Miller is a guy who walks an eclectic path. Over the years, the King of Quip has traveled from “Saturday Night Live” to HBO to “Monday Night Football.” Along the way he has managed to snag five Emmy Awards. Now he has a new show on CNBC. True to Miller’s form, the prime-time feature stands out from the pack. The show is a nightly blend of simile-laden monologues, interviews with top newsmakers and “varsity panel” discussions. Miller analyzes the hot issues of the day with just the right amount of cool. He also throws in a hefty dose of...

They broke the mold with Michael Savage, and a number of records. The New York Times No. 1 best-selling author is extraordinary in just about every category you can think of. He’s the holder of two master’s degrees and a doctorate, an accomplished scientist, author times 19, TV personality, talk radio phenom and patriot. Savage is one of the most controversial hosts in the nation, and his sky-high ratings and national following testify to this. Savage is also one of the brainiest guys around, but he inevitably bowls you over with his common sense. He has that uncanny ability to...

Check this out: The Beverly Hills Police Department has served a subpoena on the banking records of a Hollywood star. A recent report in the National Enquirer that the celebrity had a pill addiction – proof of this came from a paid tip to the tabloid from the star’s maid - has caught the notice here in Tinseltown among the cops and the Los Angeles district attorney’s office. Authorities, unable to prosecute the star on the basis of an addiction alone, are examining whether the celebrity engaged in money laundering or doctor shopped their prescriptions, a felony in California. Pretty...

A Political Look at Hollywood By James HirsenA NewsMax Report1. Rob Reiner Picks a New Dean for Hollywood It looks as if celebrity politics on the national front are getting bigger by the minute. In the 2002 election, guess who provided the fifth-largest source of dollars for federal candidates? It was none other than little old Hollywood. And as you might expect, 83 percent of Tinseltown's cash went to Democrats. So says Center for Responsive Politics. Maybe this explains why there was such a big buzz when Rob Reiner announced he was placing his fund-raising talents behind East Coast presidential...

KABC Talk Show Host Joe Crummey is on the air now interviewing best selling author, commentator, news analyst and law professor Dr. James Hirsen. Hirsen's most recent book "Tales from the Left Coast: True Stories of Hollywood Stars and Their Outrageous Politics" has become a hot bestseller. Joe Crummey is taking calls discussing reaction to the capture of Saddam Hussein, including the Vatican's sympathy for Hussein in the Vatican's reaction to Hussein's capture.

Hollywood’s hypocrisy is showing again. Left-leaning celebs in Tinseltown generally lend their support and even pay tribute to any famous person who decides to hit the rehab trail. Well, not when it comes to Rush Limbaugh. Many of the so-called caring folks in La-La Land appear to be rubbing their hands together in sadistic glee at Rush’s pain problem and the possibility that he could be charged with something. In a lefty celebrity world, compassion has partisan overtones and doesn’t extend from lib to conservative, even when the addiction stems from a relief-of-pain pursuit. Let’s take a stroll down left-wing...

Here comes Babs to the liberal rescue. Recently, in one of her infinitely dubious Web “truth alerts,” the political crooner rushed to defend CBS’s miniseries “The Reagans.” On her site, Streisand proceeds to set Drudge and other sources straight. She writes that she was on the set of CBS to watch her hubby for “a total of only 4 hours of one day,” as opposed to the “weeks on the set” that were reported by what Streisand calls “the Republican spin machine.” Streisand also writes that she has never read the script, never seen the film and is “not responsible...

Howard Dean must be in a campaign stupor. He recently spouted the following while in New Hampshire: "It is a good thing for us to have Wes Clark. I have four people beating up on me for being against the war. Now I have a four-star general saying the same thing I've been saying." After his "K Street" cameo and Begala-Carville-scripted debate zinger, it makes you wonder if George Clooney wrote Dean's latest one-liner. Anyway, these days it seems that some political analysts have a bad case of White House envy. And the condition is manifesting itself as selective amnesia....

Did you think that campaign finance "reform" would put an end to the cynical issue ad? Well, the American Civil Liberties Union is screeching, "No way" and it's getting some caterwaul assistance from Richard Dreyfuss, Sheryl Crow, Michael Stipe, Martin Sheen, Al Pacino, Samuel L. Jackson and Kristin Davis. With a budget of $3 million, the supposedly nonpartisan ACLU is launching a multimedia attack on the Bush administration. The print and broadcast advertising campaign points the finger of blame at the Bush White House for the usual claim of demolition of civil liberties. Print ads that feature the likes of...

NEW YORK "The Jews didn’t kill Christ," my stepfather was fond of saying. "They just worried him to death." Nonetheless, there was palpable relief in my Jewish household when the Vatican officially absolved us of the crime in 1965. At the very least, that meant we could go back to fighting among ourselves. These days American Jews don’t have to fret too much about the charge of deicide — or didn’t, until Mel Gibson started directing a privately financed movie called "The Passion," about Jesus’ final 12 hours. Why worry now? The star himself has invited us to. Asked by...
