It is a rare movie that you walk out of laughing AND smarter than when you walked in. Bill Maher's documentary "Religulous" is that movie. He asks bold and pertinent questions of religious leaders around the world. And he plays no favorites. All religions (including Scientology) are approached with the same probing queries and the answers will astound and entertain you. Bill is very careful to walk a neutral line - he doesn't want to end up on a hit list like Salman Rushdie. And Maher presents a powerful argument for keeping church and state separate. This documentary should be required viewing for politicians and students. We're hoping there will be a Religulous II - there is so much more to investigate.

Who would have guessed that Bill Maher would have a soft spot for little dogs? We KNOW he'd slam on the brakes for a girl who looks like Traci Bingham of Baywatch, but the dog surprised us. Bill was walking out of The Newsroom Cafe on Robertson when this little fellow barked at him so Maher stopped to say hello. On second thought, maybe the dog's OWNER resembles Traci.
