As I sit here watching an episode of Bonanza, I am once again reminded of how tragic it is that ego sometimes interferes with life. Ego is all to often a representation of thinking you’re superior and of believing that you are above something. Such is the …

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 …

Sachin Tendulkar is an Indian cricketer, and in all probability the man who holds the title of most recognisable cricket player in the world today. For two decades now he has been at the top of both Indian and international cricket, and the great Sir Donald Bradman said a …

Shawn Michaels is a great wrestler who has an awesome ring persona. He has an arrogant attitude but he is funny about it so his attitude can easily be overlooked. His overall look is cool and his build is good but he should have got rid of the long …

I was so not into Taraji Henson when I first saw her on screen. The movie was “Baby Boy”—another one of those “Boyz N da Hood” type films wherein the young ‘brother’ is trying to make his way in the world despite the ghetto surroundings of his daily …

I was looking around at videos the other day on Youtube and I stumbled on one that really fascinated me. I was watching a video where they offered this homeless man a few bucks if he would talk to them in his golden voice. What I mean by …

Steven Finn is one of the new breed of England cricketers and a man who I really hope will mature into a truly fearsome fast bowler. Although he is still only in his very early twenties, he has already shown a lot of promise. Admittedly those displays were on …

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 …

Joseph Heywood is a historical fiction and mystery writer in central Michigan. Joe really knows his stuff and that comes out in spades when reading his books. Joe served in the United States Air Force for several years throughout Vietnam and afterwards, and his personal experiences and knowledge play …

I think Piles is a very good rapper, and I really like his song Bust It Baby. It is one of the best love rap songs I have heard in a while. I liked it so much I even dedicated it to my girl. I think that Piles has a …

I had to laugh today when I read Oakland Raiders wide receiver Javon Walker is looking to be released from the team because he feels he isn’t getting enough playing time.
Honestly, when is he going to realize he isn’t that great of a receiver?
Walker was overrated when he was …

Christian Bale is a very good actor. He is one of my favorite actors of course, because he is the guy who plays Batman in the Batman movies. He did great in the Batman Begins movie. I was very impressed with his performance as Bruce Wayne. He did a great …

I only know of Bar Refaeli as a swimsuit model and have seen a couple of her pictures in some swimsuit magazines. But lately, this model has been popular of late not due to her modeling stints, but more for her relationship with popular actor, Leonardo DiCaprio. Ok, …

Although I wouldn’t call Cameron Diaz one of my favourite actresses, I still respect her a lot. This is because I don’t remember hearing much bad about her if any at all over the years.
The first time I remember seeing her was when I watched the movie “The …

Robert Pattinson–where to begin? There have been so many things written about him that my review may fail epically by comparison; however, I’m still going to try my best to display him in another light.
Before “Twilight” I never knew who Robert Pattinson was, and in many cases, I still …

Krisdayanti is a very popular Indonesian singer, and she is extremely beautiful but with the help of a thick make-up. However, I pretty much prefer her without much make-up because she looks fresher and not too scary. However, I suppose being an entertainer there’s lot of things to …

I have listened to Janet Jackson’s music since I was a kid and watched her in the media. She was kind of hard to miss and always in the media for some reason or another.
I like her. It’s weird because to be honest I don’t actually know …

The first time I saw Peter Andre was in his music video Mysterious Girl. That song made him a star where I live and when he came to visit he was mobbed.
Unfortunately that’s all I saw of Peter Andre for awhile, he disappeared and became just another …

When Packers’ defensive back Jarrett Bush got an offer from the Tennessee Titans, I didn’t really care if the team opted to match it or not. But, now that they have and I have had a chance to think about it a bit, it was a decent move for …

I was a late comer to Mock the Week on BBC2, but after catching a few episodes in series five, I was instantly hooked on the wit and somewhat offensive tone of Frankie Boyle. He is a Scottish comedian in his late 30’s, and before Mock the Week, I …

I would love to get one of these jerseys and feel like I got the skills to hit all those three-pointer shots like Curry. At first, I wasn’t sold on my Lebron James hope of him being the next MJ. But now, I’m on the Golden State Warrior bandwagon, and …

When the Minnesota Vikings named Gus Frerotte their starting quarterback over Tarvaris Jackson, my first thought this week was “Frerotte? Seriously?”
While I can understand the 0-2 Vikings decision to bench Jackson (though I disagree with it. I feel they should have spent more time trying to actually coach him), …

“I came for RDA, but I stayed for Daniel.”
Those words have been spoken many times by fans of Richard Dean Anderson who tuned into the sci-fi series “Stargate SG-1″, but who became fans of the show and kept watching because of a newcomer named Michael Shanks.
A Canadian actor, up …

How does a skinny, pale, weasel faced actor go on to be a star? I have no idea, but he just is. James Woods has been in many, many films and I hope that I have not missed any. From Diggstown to Against All Odds …

With any standup comedian you are bound to see some of the same material repeated only in slightly different situations or with parts changed to suit the comedy style. However, if you have ever seen Bill Bailey then you will know that his style of comedy can only be …

I have been glued to the television lately following this horrible story about a twenty-two year-old mother, Casey Anthony, and her missing two year-old daughter, Cayle. I think it’s so obvious Casey is to blame for her daughter’s death. All the evidence investigators have collected is making her …

I don’t remember seeing or hearing of the actress Jennifer Lawrence before she seemed to almost spontaneously rise to fame after appearing in the first Hunger Games movie. As a matter of fact, I had watched the movie a little later than most people, and I remember having to …

I felt pitiful for Christina Applegate, especially due to the recent death of her on and off boyfriend, Lee Grivas. Lee is a photographer of some sorts and cause of death is yet unknown. He was found dead on 1st July 2008, I think.
I think Christina Applegate is …

Sometimes it takes the worst, which includes death for a person to actually be noticed or given the recognition that they’re due. There are several artists or great people who have only received a certain recognition after they have died, and as brutal as it might sound it’s actually …

I imagine that most folks know Laurence Fishburne from his Oscar nominated roll in What’s Love Got to Do with It. In this exceptionally well-played performance, he played musician Ike Turner, husband of phenom Tina Turner. He got my attention then, too, except I was just shaking …

“William Shakespeare” is possibly one of the most well known and influential playwrights and poets in the history of mankind. Although it is rumored that he did not write some of the plays he has been given credit for over the centuries, people still seem to love and admire …

The first time I heard a song by rapper Jay Z I liked it. Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t love it but I liked it. It was catchy and sounded good. But that was it. It didn’t inspire me to become a fan and …

Last year, the Dallas Cowboys sent a whole mess of draft picks to the Detroit Lions for receiver Roy Williams.
I never thought I would ever say this about Detroit, but they got the better end of that deal.
I’m not sure what Dallas was thinking. This is the same franchise …

Gorgeous Brazilian model, Adriana Lima is someone who knows her strut or catwalk well. I’ve seen some of her modeling shows in Victoria’s Secret and the likes, and she really has the “IT” thing going on. And I think she looks pretty intelligent as well, with her nice …

So, it sounds like Dan Reeves is trying to return to the NFL after being gone for a few years. It’s definitely an interesting concept for some team looking for veteran advice. But, I would be cautious about what capacity I would bring him in at.
When Reeves was fired …

When I was a kid, one show I had to watch was Medical Center. I loved it, and the fact that it starred a very handsome Chad Everett as the lead doctor, Joe Gannon, wasn’t bad, either. Medical Center was a success, and it lunged Chad Everett …

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 …

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. …

When I heard the Denver Broncos hired New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels as their head coach, I have to say it left me scratching my head a bit.
I’m not going to go out and say McDaniels was necessarily a bad choice. But, when you have a team …

If you have seen the movie Juno then you have heard Kimya Dawson. She used to be a part of a group called The Moldy Peaches who are the ones responsible for Anyone Else But You (the song Bleeker and Juno sing to each other in the end). …

If you have seen Dog the bounty hunter’s television show before, you know who Leland Chapman is easily. Leland is Dog’s second oldest son, and might I just saw, the cutest son out of all of them. He in my opinion is a pretty darn good bounty hunter, and …

I do really admire the late Corrie Ten Boom, a world famous evangelist. Her life story has been a shining inspiration to me to be obedient to the heavenly vision. I consider her a purpose-driven woman with a burning passion for the non-christians. At the beginning of World War …

Sean Hannity is a very opinionated man. I have watched him now for years because he holds the same conservative views I do. He isn’t my favorite commentator since in my opinion he seems like an idealogue, someone who has a set way of thinking on all issues. My …

Sex symbol. Hot. Provocative. There are an infinite amount of other nouns and adjectives that can be thrown out there that are synonymous to those mentioned; all of which Ms. Fox effortlessly evokes from her public. She is best known for her role as Mikaela in the ever popular …

From the moment I saw Avril Lavigne I was an instant fan. Firstly her song complicated spoke to everybody. She was an alternative girl that didn’t fit the mould of the typical Hollywood pop-star.
However now that I see more of Avril in the public eye I am …

I see Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Bobby Wade is reworking his contract so he doesn’t end up being cut by his team this weekend. That’s a great move on this part and one of the smartest things he could have done.
When Wade came to the Vikings, it was as …
