Tebow worship: ridiculous to anyone else?
COLLEGE FOOTBALL
Anyone who has watched or paid attention to college football this season knows the name Tim Tebow. On Sunday, the Heisman Trophy winner and two-time national champion from the University of Florida announced he will return to Florida for his senior season.
NFL conference championship preview
Conference Championship weekend is upon us. On Sunday, the participants in the Super Bowl will be determined. Can the Steelers defeat the Ravens for the third time this season to advance or can the Ravens finally get past the Steelers? Can the Eagles ground the Cardinals in the desert or will the Cardinals use their potent offense to avenge their Thanksgiving loss to the Eagles? The CT will tell who will win and why.
SANTOGOLD DEBUT packed with energy, refreshing sounds
With indisputable talent and ear-friendly tunes, it is a wonder why it took Santogold so long to release her own record. The 32-year-old artist (born Santi White) is no stranger to the music industry: she majored in music in college and was a record company representative and producer.
LAYIN’ DOWN THE ROOTS
Jazz legend Charlie Haden was a staple in the jazz scene for the latter half of the 20th century. Recording with everyone from Ornette Coleman and John Coltrane to Chick Correa and Herbie Hancock, it may seem the bassist is a little pigeon-holed into the jazz idiom.
‘Button’s’ depressing digression: life to sore subject.
The first thing one notices while watching “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” is the similarities between it and “Forrest Gump.” There is no doubt the two may seem indistinguishable on the surface: each chronicles the life story of a man decidedly different from those around him.

King of the diners
If you’ve lived in Richmond for a little more than a week, then you’ve probably heard vegans rave about the awesome food at 821 Café. While it would be unfair to put this diner up against say, Millie’s or Six Burner, its target audience is comprised of scenesters and college kids, who don’t exactly have the most discerning tastes.
How to win big
Originally, “Slumdog Millionaire” sounded far from appealing. You mean there’s a film in which the game show “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” is a major part of the plot line? “No, thanks,” I thought. However, when “Slumdog Millionaire” started to win numerous awards, (and my friends’ praise) I decided to see for myself how breathtaking this movie could possibly be.
