The story has some wince-inducing, corn-pone-cutesy dialogue — spoken by Dolly Parton’s character — and a flurry of moralistic lecturing, mostly by Queen Latifah, but the music is undeniably enjoyable.

Washington Wizards Fan Take: John Wall Needs Help from His Teammates

The John Wall era hasn’t begun as many had hoped. The first pick in the 2010 draft is not playing as well as he did last year and that wasn’t all that great. He has flashes of greatness, of course. For example, against the Boston Celtics, Wall put up 19 points, seven rebounds, eight assists, one steal, one block and just one turnover. The Wizards lost, of course.
At Kentucky, Wall was always in a hurry and tended to force the action. He hasn’t changed much with the [...]

The legal dispute between Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester and her mother appears to be over. What started out as a battle over the alleged misuse of the actress’ money, and then turned into a dispute over whether Constance Meester deserved compensation for a purported role in helping guide her daughter’s career, has suddenly made an abrupt halt. The holidays might be a little less rancorous for the Meester family this year after a judge last week accepted Constance’s decision to bow down. As a result, Leighton [...]

L.L. Bean duck boot booms as fashion plate

A nearly century-old hunting boot is catching on with a younger generation that sees the utilitarian footwear as hip.
L.L Bean’s familiar duck boot with leather uppers and rubber soles – designed for slogging through mud and snow – has become something of a fashion statement owing to its newfound popularity on college campuses, the company said.

Part of the success of the boot is [...]
