One critic is getting very critical of Hollywood's portrayal of Arabs and Muslims in film and television. Jack Shaheen, an American of Lebanese decent, told Reuters that in America, where it is politically incorrect to make derogatory comments about other groups like African Americans or Jews, there is no social taboo against reinforcing damaging Arab or Muslim stereotypes.
In his latest book, Guilty, Shaheen says that the an anti-Arab tendency was present before September 11th.

After going fancy in Paris and London, Jennifer and Jamie ditched their formal wear for a photocall in Berlin for The Kingdom. This marks the fourth country these two have hit in the last week and we can't even imagine how exhausted they must be. At least they probably got lots of quality bonding time in together, although we know Jennifer would rather be with her family or in her hometown.

Jennifer is usually not on my fashion radar. What can I say — when the girl is dressed down, she is dressed way down. But when the girl is dressed up she is dressed to the nines and with the premiere of The Kingdom, her stylist has been working overtime.

Jennifer Garner definitely turned a few heads in her hot pink mermaid number at the Paris premiere of The Kingdom. Seriously, between the color of her dress and that huge grin on her face we barely even notice Jamie Foxx standing there next to her. That being said, Jennifer claims she would've been even happier to skip Paris entirely and just hang out in her hometown of Charleston, West Virginia.

We’ve been talking a lot about the onset of the fall movie season. Gone are the hot days of summer and with them the never-ending sequels, gross-out Judd Apatow comedies and big-budget action films. And as the weather gets cooler, suddenly some of the movies get smarter.

This Friday finds Jamie Foxx, Jennifer Garner, Jason Bateman and Chris Cooper starring in The Kingdom, a war movie set in modern-day Saudi Arabia. After a terrorist bombing of a Western housing compound in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, an elite team of FBI agents is formed to locate the mastermind behind the bombing. I'm going to see The Kingdom this week, though I wonder if a movie about terrorism in the Middle East will be able to draw in the crowds.

Jennifer Garner was the lady in red at the LA premiere of The Kingdom last night. She is just gorgeous when she glams it up. Will and Jada (in bright pink shorts formal wear - yowza) came out to support their friends' premiere and ham it up with Jamie Foxx on the red carpet.
