I'm sure that many fans of the movie have probably watched it by now. I watched the third Iron Man movie on the 9th. And I absolutely enjoyed it. The character of Tony Stark is amazingly realistic in depth and personality. Another thing that makes him really unique and intriguing as a character - Tony Stark is the only superhero who becomes a superhero precisely because he is a repentant sinner.
In my first review of the series, I analyzed the relationship between Tony Stark and Pepper Potts. Every analysis (general statement applicable to all things) is based upon the facts available; when new facts appear, the analysis must change accordingly. The relationship between the two characters is not celibate as I had hoped. This is the very first story in which I do not get the specific thing I wanted but I still enjoy the story anyway. And I will talk about what I love in this movie. FULL POST

Funny how a celebrity's every move is tracked, broadcast, tweeted, instagramed, you-tubed, vined, re-tracked, re-broadcast, re-tweeted... and repeat!
Iron Man series star Robert Downey Jr. said two words in an interview with Jon Stewart: "Chuck Missler." The End Times Prophecy news took the opportunity to speculate that Downey follows Missler's biblical teachings closely... and I wrote about it!
For once, I don't mind a little Christian TMZ-ing!

If you regularly read the comments on Christian Post articles, you've probably seen the name DisOp08. On April 12th DisOp08 asked the question, "What has any of these prayer lists ever accomplished? And why celebrities, seriously?"
On April 19th DisOp08 left the response, "Celebrities desperately need your prayers. They are suffering."
I wanted to answer these questions.
1. What has any of these prayer lists ever accomplished?
I have learned more about people in politics and the entertainment industry as I've compiled these lists. Even though I can't provide a list of how God has intervened from these prayers, I have noticed how it has affected my life. I'm a more compassionate person because of the time I've spent praying. Prayer is not always about accomplishments.
2. And why celebrities, seriously?
I've worked in the entertainment industry for almost 7 years. Some of my jobs included being a production assistant on a TV series and movie, sending press releases and movie posters for a theatrical release and shipping DVDs for an independent filmmaker.
I have friends in the entertainment industry and they do need our prayers. I worked with an actress that struggled for years with depression before taking her own life.
Recently, Radar Online reported, "Brooke Mueller has overdosed on drugs — including Adderall — an astonishing six times in the past two years, all of which required hospitalizations." Mueller is actor Charlie Sheen's ex-wife and she obviously has some problems to work through and so we should pray for her.

Television audiences will soon be able to witness the "scandalous lives" of four friends as they choose to deliberately hurt those that love them. Mistresses will debut on ABC, Monday June 3 at 10:00 PM.
The audience can expect sex, lies, adultery and some lesbian activities. The show is being promoted with the tagline: “Attraction. Passion, Deception. I can’t help it.”
The television ads promoting the upcoming series proclaim it’s filled with “Endless possibilities” and “Thirteen weeks of seduction” and “Who have you been doing?”
Yes, the 10:00 PM hour is later in the evening, but viewer discretion is advised since the bedroom scenes are soft porn.
Once again, One Million Moms has an email campaign to alert ABC of an effort to avoid all support for any advertisers of the show as well as alerting families across the nation to avoid this vulgar program. Please consider joining the effort and send your letter now. We can’t complain about the deplorable condition of our culture if we aren’t willing to do what we can. OMM makes it easy to voice your objections. FULL POST

Dove Award winning artist Cheri Keaggy said God showed up in a mighty way when she began writing her single "There Will Be One Day" and other songs featured in her latest album So I can Tell. "There Will Be One Day" recently made the Top 20 on the Billboard Christian Soft AC/INSPO chart at No. 18.
"He truly has been my Jehovah-Jireh, the Lord Who Provides, and my Jehovah-Rapha, the Lord Who Heals," she said in a press release.
Keaggy was still reeling from the end of 23-year marriage to her high school sweetheart when she "received her marching orders" to write a new album.
While speaking at a women's conference, Keaggy said "I thought I would be leaving the conference to come home and work on bookings to provide for my daughter and myself, God was saying, 'What if you just trust me with your finances and write?' I didn't know what songs would come. All I knew was my part was to sit down on that piano bench and do what He said. It was a matter of obedience."
Lord blessed her obedience - "The rest flowed out in a beautiful, healing stream, one song after another, including 'There Will Be One Day,'" she proclaimed.
Keaggy began her Christian Music ministry as a worship leader at a small church in Southern California. She later recorded her debut album Child of the Father in 1994 earning a Dove Award nomination for New Artist of the Year. Keaggy went on to record seven additional albums, resulting in nine No. 1 songs, three Dove Award nominations and a Dove Award win. After more than two decades in music, her ministry has now expanded to include speaking engagements as well. FULL POST

Zach Galifianakis, known for his comedic hijinks, made a mature entrance to the Hangover III movie premiere Monday. The 43-year-old actor entered the premiere with a homeless laundry worker on his arm according to reports from the Daily Mail and Time Magazine's Newsfeed.
Both publications state that Galifianakis, who was raised Greek Orthodox, befriended 87-year-old Elizabeth “Mimi” Haist in 1994. It is unclear whether Haist was homeless when Galifianakis initially met the local laundromat volunteer. However both publications report that Haist was living off of patrons' tips.
When Galifianakis found out that Haist was homeless two years ago, he found her an apartment and began taking her to his movie premieres such as The Campaign and The Hangover 2. Galifianakis pays for her rent and utilities. He also enlisted actress Renee Zellweger to furnish her apartment.
The actor's actions are extraordinary and Christ-like. Jesus said in Matthew 25:45 "He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’"
Galifianakis grew up in a working class Greek family. The comic told the ThatOtherPaper.com in 2007 that he was baptized in the Greek Orthodox church as a child but said he and his siblings “made a complete mockery of it.”
He also told the Austin paper that conservative groups have hijacked the teaching of Jesus Christ. He said of Jesus’ teachings “I think if Jesus were to come back he would more likely hang out with low-lifes and perhaps be in a really bad cover band, but do his good work.”
