This week’s Self Made Man Column, like the previous two, focuses on someone in the arts. But unlike John Waters, who grew up in stable upper-middle-class circumstances, or Steve ?Mugger? Corbin, a teenage runaway who was essentially adopted by the Los Angeles punk scene, our subject today clawed his way from extreme poverty (defined by

Carey Mulligan is still very new to the whole movie starlet scene, but in just a few years, she already has some great credits. Her favorite credit for me however, is not a movie, but a single stand-alone episode of TV. Maybe the scariest episode of TV since ?The X-Files?: ?Home.? It is ?Doctor Who?:

If you set up some kind of web camera to spy on us over here at TSB HQ, this is what you’d see on a regular basis, right around 1pm and 6pm every day, after getting to that point when our stomachs send the painful reminder to us that we’ve gone since (x) hours without

I?ve done my fair share of exercising over the years. Weightlifting? Check. Long-distance running? Check. After today I can cross one more off workout off the list. ?Jillian Michaels – 30 Day Shred??

I have a friend whose looks remind me of Charlize Theron and that makes me look at Charlize favorably. Well, that, and the fact that she is gorgeous and a damn fine actress to boot. I first remember seeing her writhing around in the little crime film ?2 Days in the Valley? and I can

John Waters is something of a constant in my life. Being from Baltimore, and having family in the area who knew his family (my grandmother used to play bridge with his aunt), I’ve always known about him and his seedy reputation in film, even before I was old enough to see it for myself. Granted,

During the cold winter months, it can be fairly normal to have a bout of the blues every now and then. Between the utter lack of sunlight, dropping temperatures, and hectic holiday schedule, we can feel worn down and depressed. But what if you could never quite shake that foul mood? Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD),

Just because Santa Claus goes on annual globetrotting cookie binges while getting his ass pulled around by reindeer doesn?t make it okay for us normal folks. Unlike Mr. Kringle, most people can?t live forever eating candy canes and climbing down chimneys (might be bad for the lungs.)If you have a friend, coworker or loved one

If you read my Awesome Men article about Richard Harris, which you damn well should have, you may have noticed that he was something of a drinker. This was not uncommon among British actors in the 1960s and 70s who were not immune to the rugby/football social attitudes of the era, which included an almost
