DebatesStatus:
CompletedUpdated on Oct 12, 2009An older man. Inappropriate relationships with female employees. Blackmail. Dave Letterman. Wait, what? Yes, Dave Letterman, the curmudgeon late night host, who made a career out of mocking the foibles of politicans and high profile celebs, revealed that he was being blackmailed by a CBS producer because he had a long term relationship with his former assistant. There doesn't seem to be much immediate fallout for Letterman other than embarrassment and ridicule but it's led to many conversations about what goes on in the office. This is one of them.

R.I.P Patrick Swayze: Icon and All Around Nice Guy
Type:
ReviewsStatus:
CompletedUpdated on Sep 29, 2009Everyone seems to have loved Patrick Swayze, especially if you grew up in the 80's and 90's. There was something about him, his presence on film and his demeanor off screen that just made him extremely likeable. He was always able to swagger but he was very much a lover as well as a fighter. He seemed like the kind of guy you'd want to meet your parents and be on your side in a fight. Yeah, he danced but he made dancing sexy and cool. He was rough but gentle. He was The Swayze and he made some great movies. Let's remember.

Is Kristen Stewart overrated as an actress?
Type:
DebatesStatus:
CompletedUpdated on Apr 29, 2009She plays leading lady Bella in the cult vampire saga, "Twilight." She again stars as Em in the Spring hit "Adventureland." But wait - she's the same flat, lifeless, inexperienced actress in both films. But maybe she just had bad direction, or a weak script (Adventureland was a bit disappointing). So what gives - is she any good, or did she just get the luck of the draw by landing the Twilight role and now anything she does afterward will automatically be proclaimed as brilliant because hey, she's Kristen F-ing Stewart of the Twilight series. Thoughts?
