Love and law at the drive-in, kissing, and telling
Q: Is heavy petting legal at drive-in theaters? What about making whoopee? I hear they look for rocking cars at the Starlight.
Having fogged up a few windows in my day, I share your concern—though not your fondness for outdated sex slang. I’ve consulted three lawyers (well, two eager law students and one retired attorney) and have concluded that, as one member of my crack legal team says, “It looks like you could get away with a fair bit.”
Wisecracker Whittemore on ‘Blindside’-ing Sandra Bullock, celebrating ‘So Many Composers’
When her co-star Sandra Bullock racked up an Oscar nomination and nabbed both a Golden Globe and a Screen Actors Guild for her role in the locally shot "The Blindside" this awards season, native Atlantan Libby Whittemore resisted the urge to take a bow in her living room.

Hounsou is part of an ensemble cast that includes Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, The Walking Dead’s Michael Rooker, Lee Pace, John C. Reilly, and Glenn Close. Bradley Cooper and Vin Diesel lend their voices to the flick, portraying mutant, mouthy raccoon Rocket, and Groot, a walking, talking tree with a severely limited vocabulary.

“The Real Housewives of Atlanta” Season Four Reunion Part Three Episode 423 recap:We’ll be straight up with you, dear reader: Yes, there was a second part of the three-part fourth season “RHOA” reunion which aired Thursday night on Bravo. It prominently featured gold-digging housewife-in-training Marlo Hampton. We simply pretended it wasn’t on. Had we been forced to watch, it’s extremely likely MARTA police would have eventually found us in a fetal position clutching an empty bottle of Bacardi 151, rocking back and forth under a seat on an abandoned train at the Hartsfield-Jackson station.
Why Atlanta needs the Shaky Knees Festival

Derivation of Dirty South
“What chu know about the Dirty South?” Aside from being a track and infectious refrain on Goodie Mob’s 1995 debut "Soul Food," the term has devolved in spelling (Durty Souf?) and evolved wildly in connotation.
Trailer for “Zombieland” hits–see anyone you know?
The trailer for Zombieland--which was filmed all over Georgia, including Valdosta, Decatur, Atlanta, and Newnan--is below. Due for release this October, the movie centers on Woody Harrelson's team of zombie killers. Woody, it seems, prides himself on being particularly "good at zombie-killing."
I have to say: As someone whose husband is inordinately fascinated with zombie movies, I've had to sit th
