Jo Brand is a British comedienne who might not be as famous as most, but certainly entertains in her routine. The overweight, less then feminine sort doesn’t really care about her appearance, and often makes a point of it in her routines. Sometimes she comes across as self effacing, …

Sometimes you just need quirky to be your best, and quirky is something that actor Peter MacNicol does very well.
My introduction to Peter MacNicol was on Ally McBeal, where he played a lawyer with a lot of weird quirks. I hadn’t known who was before that, but he …

I must say I liked Vin Diesel the very first time I saw him in the movie the Fast and the Furious. Although he wasn’t in the lead role in that movie he had this amazing charisma that basically made him the best part of that film. …

As a regular on the hit HBO improvisational comedy series Curb Your Enthusiasm, Cheryl Hines plays the long suffering wife of lead character Larry David; a man full of quirks and phobias, a complicated man to live if nothing else.
Hines is brilliant in the role, and even if she’d …

Her nickname is Sugar. She is a very popular Survivor …

The first time I saw Claire Danes was on a television show called My So-Called Life. In this show she was young, fresh and vulnerable. I very much enjoyed her performance. However as she got older and I saw her more in film I began to dislike …

I know that many people love ‘The Hoff’ but for me he is one of the most annoying people on the planet. I understand that he is something of a cult icon, such as Chuck Norris and other celebrities. But I simply cannot find anything to like about the …

I think we have all been affected by the fall of Tiger Woods due to his many marital affairs. Many of us who were faithful followers of the legendary golfer were deeply affected by his recent downfall, feeling as though we had been betrayed as well, and many …

I see the Jacksonville Jaguars released Fred Taylor this week. Because he is a big name, there’s a good chance the running back will draw a lot of interest as a free agent. But, I think any team that is honestly considering him as a featured back
Taylor is a …

I first saw Ivanka Trump on a magazine about a decade ago, and Ivanka is 3 years old than me. I was still in high school then and I noticed this girl was really pretty and her daddy was rich, still in junior high I hadn’t really though much …

I was all prepared to be sensitive to NeNe and her life issues. She appears to be a fairly normal housewife who wants the best for her family. The fact that she spent over $6K for a suit for son to me, was a little over …

The Tennessee Titans took a long time before giving Vince Young an opportunity to start for the team again. And, it looks like that decision is paying off.
Young has always had the ability to be an NFL quarterback. His running ability especially makes him a playmaking threat; especially in …

Lil Wayne is a very famous rapper as you know. But I think his music could be better. He does have some good songs, and he does have commercial appeal. But I still don’t think he is the best ever. I do enjoy his new song Lollipop. But I think …

When I first heard the Pussy Cat Dolls I wasn’t sure what to think. Firstly their song was a bit sexual and they started off as a burlesque group in Hollywood which brought about the rumor that before they were pop stars they were strippers.
I wasn’t sure what …

I am a big Chris Brown fan and Shut Up and Drive is one of my favorite Rihanna songs. However, over the past few weeks, I have lost most of my respect for both of these singing superstars. Their current situation is a private matter that the media …

The Packers’ season is now over with so I wanted to take the time to look at the key people in their organization and give my opinion on how they have done; both this season and leading up to this season to date.
I guess I’ll start with the main …

If anyone ever wonders why the Oakland Raiders just can’t seem to put together a winning season lately, look no further than their recent signing of running back Michael Bennett; a former Wisconsin Badger who just hasn’t seemed to live up to his potential since becoming a pro player.
There …

This man is one of the most popular personalities in Hollywood and now in California State politics. But I am not here to discuss his political prowess but instead, the makings of the famous Arnold Schwarzenegger.
As I watched his biography shown …

OK, Justin Harrell is injured again? Seriously?
When the Packers used a first round pick on the defensive end/tackle, I will admit I had some concerns. Apparently, he could have been a top 10 pick if he hadn’t been injured in college and, because of that injury, the Packers were …

The rapper known as Old Dirty Bastard or OBD was one of the best artists of our time. He made many song with the group Wu Tang Clan, but he also did some great solo songs. I think his song with Mariah Carey is pretty cool. He also had a …

Well, the Arizona Cardinals got one step closer to repeating their Super Bowl run from last season by signing defensive end Bertrand Berry.
OK, I should put this in perspective a bit. He’s not a guy who is going to be an all-pro for them. In fact, he hasn’t been …

Samantha Mumba is a lady with dark looks and she definitely looks awesome.
I most remember her for the role she portrayed in the movie, Time Machine, along that dishing hunk and she played her role pretty well, though her dialogs were pretty limited. I believe she is …

Aishwarya Rai Bachhan has frequently been reffered to as the most beautiful woman in the world. I totally agree with this statement. She is indeed, if not the most, then on of the most beautiful women in my opinion.
Aishwarya is a former Miss World, which simply proves the fact …

Dr. Oz is a very cool man. He is a heart surgeon. And he became famous on the Oprah Winfrey show. He is a very cool guy because he gives great advice to people about their health, and tells them how to eat right and work out to stay in …

I see the Oakland Raiders finally did what was expected and released former first overall pick JaMarcus Russell; pretty much solidifying him as the biggest draft bust in NFL history.
Now, because of his draft bust status, many will naturally say he should just retire and drop off the face …

Michelle Moran is the author of the novels Nefertiti, The Heretic Queen and Cleopatra’s Daughter.
Her novels are very popular and are historical fiction novels.
The novels I read were amazing and so I got the urge to look up Michelle Moran online.
Firstly she has her own blog which I was …

I wasn’t sure what to think of Penelope Cruz at first. She seemed like a good actress, she was beautiful but something just wasn’t right.
It’s hard to put my finger on why I didn’t like her at first. Maybe it was because she’s beautiful but in a …

I have been listening to Nicki Minaj for quite a while now, and find her music really worth listening to. Her sound and look is unique from other artist out today. I love her sound because it is different and she can sing and rap. She has become really …

I have been a fan of nearly all kinds of sport for as long as I can remember, and have a pretty decent feel for what I like and dislike in an athlete. Tiger Woods exemplifies exactly what I have grown to dislike in not only an athlete, but …

I think that Pete Carroll, the coach of the USC Trojans, is one of the best college football coaches in the game today. I think that the results speak for themselves as he has won two national championships, and has won the Pac 10 for seven straight years and …

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 …

Back when I was much younger, the actor and comedian Eddie Murphy was one of my favourite people to see in movies. I’d seen many of his movies from the eighties and nineties and thought his characters were some of the most hilarious. I’d loved movies like the “Beverly …

Ted McGinley is a very good actor who has been on the show Married with Children. You might remember him as Jefferson on the show. He was Al Bundy’s neighbor and buddy. The funny thing about Ted McGinley playing Jefferson is that he was very lazy on the show. He …

I see the New York Jets are going to try to replace injured Leon Washington with a familiar face in Justin Miller.
Miller, a reserve cornerback, is obviously not Washington’s replacement at running back on offense (I believe they have a guy who can do that already). But, he does …

I have long hair and take really good care of my hair. My previous beautician moved so I had to look for a new one. That was a nightmare until I found Kathy at Studio 121. Actually, my neighbor told me about Kathy. She had …

Eric Bana is an Australian actor who I think most people will recognise as the man who first played the hulk in the first Hulk movie. I’ve also seen him in the movie “The Other Boleyn Girl” where he played King Henry VIII of England and in the romance …

I remember Tom Selleck from his bit role on Bracken’s World, back in the late 60’s. I loved that show. He was tall and good looking. I certainly noticed him. He did some other small roles before being one of the big new, young leads in …

Ethan Hawke, an actor that I really gushed over when I watched ‘Great Expectations’ before, with him alongside Gwyneth Paltrow. He is such a good looking fella that I think that every woman would want to have a boyfriend or husband like him. Unfortunately, I don’t really have …

Lady Gaga I being raved about and idolized by countless fans in the entertainment world. But honestly I am not pleased with the way she presents herself. Her getup from her hair to her clothes to her shoes looks weird and unacceptable to me. I found her ridiculous …

Am I the only one who finds Angelina Jolie utterly annoying??? At least once a week, she is plastered all over the news and television for less than noteworthy events. “Oh look… it’s Angelina Jolie… She gave a bum a quarter!… She adopted another third world orphan!… …

I see that the Packers ended up signing Jake Allen off their practice squad this week to add some depth after suffering some injuries at wide receiver. They apparently only had three that were healthy.
I both like and hate this move.
On one hand, Allen deserves a shot. The whole …

Wow, I was reading the sports news this morning and found myself laughing.
Here we have Albert Haynesworth, the defensive tackle for the Washington Redskins going on record and trashing the team. What a joke.
Not that I disagree with him, the Redskins are a terrible team this year with no …
