I first became aware of Jim Carrey as an actor when I saw him in the comedy the mask. Although he was really great in that movie all his other movies seemed silly.
I wasn’t very interested in Jim Carrey as his movies seemed silly.
However the first time I …

I just watched ‘The Dark Knight’ and Heathe Ledger played the greatest ‘Joker’ that I have ever seen. He was so believable that I forgot who he really was while watching the movie. He was so immersed in the character and he did such a fantastic job that I …

Zack Ryder is a wrestler in the WWE and he is a cool guy to be a fan of, and I recommend that if you are not familiar with him, and then get yourself familiar because this is one great wrestler. The first thing that makes this guy great …

I was reading Peter King’s Monday Morning Quarterback article on cnnsi.com this morning and he had his list of league MVP candidates. He had his usual suspects, like Peyton Manning and Drew Brees but, considering he is the only person in the country who thinks Brett Favre is a …

I was just reading about the Minnesota Vikings and their trade of a 3rd round draft pick to acquire Randy Moss.
On the surface, this move really shouldn’t be overly surprising. After all, the Vikings are desperate for a playmaking receiver until Sidney Rice returns from injury and are only …

I used to hate Lady Gaga. Maybe I was just fed up with all the hype with these pop stars wannabe that when I first heard about Lady Gaga, I decided that I really don’t like her. Plus, her knack of wearing outrageous outfits turned me off.
My conversion …

When former Philadelphia Eagles tight end L. J. Smith became a free agent, I think there were some who were surprised he didn’t receive a ton of attention right away.
I wasn’t one of them.
While he is a decent enough tight end, his forte is really in the passing game …

Sarah Silverman is certainly one of the busiest comics out there, and stands above most of her female peers. That’s not to say she’s superior, but there’s a lot to admire about a comedienne like this.
Silverman presents herself as an unassuming, sweet natured individual - not in any …

I really want to like Kerry Washington more than I do. I will admit that my respect for her as an actress grew when I saw her in “The Last King of Scotland.” Her accent impressed me. And the amount of angst that she brought to …

Edwin Van Der Sar, without question one of the best goalkeepers the world has ever seen. I did not used to have this opinion though. He started out playing with Ajax in Holland and due to being part of quite a talented Holland international side he was beginning to …

Pete Wentz is the bass player for the American rock / pop group Fall Out Boy. Although he is not the lead singer, he has been the front man for the band right from the start. His natural combination of charm, charisma, assertiveness and fashionable look have made his …

Alison Hannigan is a weird one for me. I guess when i first saw her on Buffy the Vampire Slayer I didn’t really like her. I found her kind of dull, annoying and nothing special to be honest. On Buffy until her character went evil she …

Well, I wasn’t sure how the Tampa Bay Buccaneers would end up replacing long-timer starter Derrick Brooks at linebacker but the signing of Angelo Crowell should prove to be a big move for this team; assuming he has bounced back from a knee injury.
Signing the outside linebacker gives the …

Nicole Kidman is an actress that started out acting from scratch. I remember one of the first movies I saw her acting was alongside Tom Cruise which I had forgotten the title. But in it, she acted as an Irish village girl and I saw her acting pretty …

Today I’m going to take a minute or two to talk about Jeremy Thompson, the soon to be retired linebacker for the Green Bay Packers.
Thompson only played in the league for a few years and isn’t a household name so most people probably don’t even know who he is. …

Jennifer Lopez is a huge star that was originally a dancer that has turned into a prominent actress over the years. She is a very talented person and I think that she is one of the most under-rated and overlooked entertainers of the past few decades. I love …

When Star Jones announced to the ENTIRE world that she and Al Reynolds would be getting married, I was shocked. Even more shocked I was that she would establish a website for her entire relationship with the man. On the site, she indicates how they met, …

Sometimes a performer sort of sneaks up on you. First you see them, but don’t think anything about them. Then you start to go, ‘He’s familiar’. Then it’s, ‘Oh, that’s the guy from …’, and finally, ‘Hey, he’s on! Nice job.’ This is how it …

We don’t hear a whole lot about Ben Murphy anymore, but in the 70’s and 80’s he was quite popular. I imagine that most people remember this actor for his role in Alias Smith and Jones, where he co-starred as Kid Curry alongside Pete Duel. Both men …

Annie Jean Brewer is someone that I met on Facebook. I started noticing that she was posting links to a blog so I decided to take a look. After reading a few of the posts I was hooked and following two of her blogs. The more I read the …

Ronnie Coleman in my opinion is the best bodybuilder that has ever lived. There are many reasons as to why he is the greatest and the obvious reason is this guy’s freakish muscle size! Ronnie Coleman is without the doubt one of the biggest most muscular freaks around. When …

Back when I was much younger, Ryan Phillippe used to be one of my favourite actors for some reason. When I think back on it now, I don’t really think that it had everything to do with his talent since I, like a lot of young girls also had …

I always loved Bob Ross. I watched him since a teen on THE LOCAL PBS channel. Once I started painting seriously I knew what my next birthday gift would have been. Finally once I turned 32 last year, I had the pleasure to open my first Bob Ross painting …

I’ve grown up hearing Michael Jackson’s music and seeing his face on television, to me he seemed like he was always around.
He grew up too fast in my opinion, pushed by his parents to become a superstar when all he really wanted was to be a kid. …

When it comes to footballers with wasted talent, then George Best perhaps comes close to the top of the lists of many. The difference with George was that whilst with Manchester United he showed an unreal ability to beat a team and score goals almost single handedly in away …

Manny Pacquiao, dubbed today as the pound-for-pound king in boxing, gives every Filipino reason to be proud and hopeful. He came from humble beginnings in General Santos City and got into boxing just to have a means of living to raise his family. He got more than what he …

I usually hardly ever listen to country music but occasionally I will. If I do listen to country music I am kind of picky as to what I am going to listen to, the songs have to have some type of meaning to it. It can’t just sing about …

“The Village”, “Summer of Sam”, “The Jacket”…these are all films featuring a wonderful actor by the name of Adrian Brody. I am pleased to say that Adrian is one of my favorite Hollywood actors. With his tall, gaunt frame, and soulful eyes, he is able …

Mike Tyson is without the doubt probably the craziest guy on the planet that is a celebrity and this is in a very bad way. My impression of Mike Tyson is that he is a hot head with a bad attitude who is now just broke and washed up. …

I have known this Doctor with the Golden Heart for almost fifteen (15)years now and ever since, she has not changed.
I met her way back years ago in the school where I worked and she was the school physician. We were …

Jennifer Koppelman Hutt is the co-host of a new show that is barely worth mentioning. In fact, it is a horrid excuse for a talk show, but I suppose it must be mentioned. The show is called Whatever with Alexis and Jennifer. Obviously, this is the Jennifer …

Michael Shanks first caught my eye when he starred in the Canadian based sci-fi show, “Stargate SG-1.” Honestly, I have just watched all the seasons of this show, even though it was canceled a few years ago and I have to say that I have become a huge …

I see Bill Cowher intends to return to coaching next season and may even be interested in the Buffalo Bills head coaching vacancy.
He does have a Super Bowl ring to his resume. But, I would question the wisdom behind hiring him.
Cowher was a great coach. But, he has a …

There is no denying the Luke Wilson is one of the most appealing and intriguing actors out there. The secret to his success is hard to define as he is not the best actor out there, his family connections (his is a brother of Owen Wilson) do not shield …

Kate Winslet is an actress I first noticed in the movie by Peter Jackson called Heavenly Creatures. The story of Heavenly Creatures was a powerful one and Kate did an excellent job in it. I actually didn’t think anything more of her until I saw the feature …

As gangster’s moll Adrianna Le Cerva in hit mob drama The Sopranos, Drea De Matteo delivered the performance of her career and etched out a noteworthy performance in a series already crammed with stellar talent and genious writing.
Initially, Adrianna seemed little more than a superficial gangster’s moll. She’d grown …

Mariah Carey the previous years and Mariah Carey as of current is a totally different person. I love her music extremely much and I have been following closely her news because I’m a big fan of her. Her songs ‘Always be my baby’, ‘Hero’ are truly inspiring and …

Well that was an interesting move. The Seattle Seahawks decided to sign running back Edgerrin James to a one-year deal yesterday.
I know the team is somewhat desperate for a running back but this move really doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me. They had an aging back …

There are barely any songs that this guy makes that I don’t like. Some of my favorites that he is in is elevator, the way i are, promiscuous girl and give it to me. I think he makes amazing music and I never get sick of it. I …
