Mariah Carey deserves much needed break

Being a superstar in today’s society is tough. Look at any tabloid and you’ll see some pathetic-looking star with dark circles under her eyes and her belly hanging out of pants a couple sizes too small. Singer Mariah Carey knows that scenario all too well these days. Life can be stressful, and Carey is certainly feeling the heat recently after working on two different movie sets for “Glitter” and “Wise Girls,” as well as completing a soundtrack for “Glitter.” The effects of these projects caused her to recently check into a hospital \'because of mental and physical exhaustion. The consequence caused Carey’s release dates for the soundtrack and movie of “Glitter” to be set back to September 11 and 21, respectively, so she could re-energize. What’s more entertaining than seeing stars at their worst?

Vegetarian column unfair, uninformed

Rat Race has weak plot, too predictable

Looking at the cast of the new film “Rat Race,” most would expect a great movie. After all, there are three Oscar winners (Whoopi Goldberg, Kathy Bates and Cuba Gooding Jr.) and several amazing comic talents including John Cleese of Monty Python, Rowan Atkinson of Mr. Bean fame and Jon Lovitz of Saturday Night Live, among others. Yet it manages to come off as nothing more than a mediocre movie. It has it’s funny moments, but if you’ve seen the previews then you’ve seen the bulk of them already, and you’ll spend the movie waiting for those funny bits.

Smell of money drove U to Knott

I am disgusted officials would recruit and give a scholarship to Eric Knott. They obviously have no sense except a sense of smell for money.While admittedly I don't know the whole context of the comment Coach Bobby Williams made, but to say it was a “university decision” is ridiculous.

Call me a redneck, but its true; I like NASCAR

Drunk hillbillies with mullets, motor homes and beat-up pickup trucks. They’re all stereotypical images of NASCAR fans who follow a sport condemned by a large portion of suburban America. But the sport’s following is fanatical, and there may be good reason why. You might as well just cue in Rosco, the General Lee, the Duke boys and Boss Hog, cause this is gonna get rural... It probably won’t settle well with many closed-minded traditionalists, convinced that a true sport has to be played with some type of ball. But it’s the largest spectator event in the nation, like it or not. And it deserves respect. Yeah, laugh if you want, call me a redneck, tell me I live in a trailer park, say I drink Pabst Blue Ribbon and listen to Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Free Bird” all day.
