Sandra Bullock has accomplished a box office feat that fellow A-listers Julia Roberts, Angelina Jolie, Reese Witherspoon and others have never succeeded - she's cracked the $200 million mark at the domestic box office.
According to Variety, "The Blind Side" is the first movie ever "driven solely by a top female star" to break $200 million.
One wonders how much the Christian family at the center of the film and faith-based marketing helped drive the success of the film.

Adam Baldwin, of Chuck fame, Defends Brit Hume
Adam Baldwin, noted conservative actor, notes the backlash on Brit Hume's recent comments and completely exposes the inappropriateness and unfairness of the comparisons of sincere Christianity to Jihad and deftly analyzes the pretensions of secularism.

Zac Levi of Chuck Speaks About Faith
In the latest issue of Relevant magazine, Zac Levi speaks about how his career choice has impacted him and how to live out one's faith in a secular environment.
"...Are you doing things to benefit you, or others? Are you available to be part of the solution and not the problem? Walk in love and that opens some doors of dialogue. How about just starting to talk and see where it goes? I don't think there's any clock on it - your life is God's, so let Him do as He wills with it."

Brit Hume Gives Advice to Tiger Woods
Brit Hume, the noted journalist and current senior political analyst for Fox News, shared on Fox News Sunday:
Liberals like Jay Bookman are taking umbrage with his comments, but it's refreshing to hear someone of his stature make such comments.
“… the Tiger Woods that emerges once the news value dies out of this scandal — the extent to which he can recover — seems to me to depend on his faith. He’s said to be a Buddhist; I don’t think that faith offers the kind of forgiveness and redemption that is offered by the Christian faith. So my message to Tiger would be: ‘Tiger, turn to the Christian faith, and you can make a total recovery and be a great example to the world.’”
