Anderson Cooper is one of the reasons I watch CNN.
He is intelligent, articulate and passionate about the stories he covers. His coverage of Hurricane Katrina was, in particular, a standout, in that he was willing to not only report about it, but involve himself in it. I believe …

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 …

The first time I saw Jessica Alba in a movie I didn’t really think anything of her. She was a pretty girl who can act - but not act so fantastically that she made an impression on me.
I do however like the impression the media gives of Jessica’s …

Paging Doctor Drake, heartbreak!
In the early eighties, Rick Springfield joined the cast of General Hospital and began his climb to pop idol status. The actor/singer claimed he was trying to focus on his acting for a while, and the character of Doctor Noah Drake certainly allowed him to …

Don’t you just love Paula Deen of Food Network’s Paula’s Home Cooking? Everything she cooks and bakes seem so delicious and appetizing. It’s not on the healthier side though, because she always use butter and tons of sugar. Still watching her is enjoyable. Her laughter is so contagious. She …

If you haven’t heard of Elton John, you’ve been either hiding under a rock or just came into the world. With the amount of success his has accumulated throughout his lifetime, it’s hard to really say you haven’t heard of Elton John or his music.
I didn’t start listening …

Well, I see the Baltimore Ravens might be desperate enough to re-sign cornerback Frank Walker. I can’t see this as a popular choice among their fans though.
Walker is a back up player at best and the fact they are even considering resigning him has more to do with injuries …

Amanda Peet is a very gorgeous, brunette actress and I truly admire her role in Law & Order and also in the very nice comedy, The Whole Nine Yards, which was around 2000 or 2001, if I’m not mistaken. She is mostly based in New York and the first …

When I was a bit younger, one of my favourite actors and one of my favourite comedians was the comic Chris Farley. At the time I did not know what his name was though, but I liked several of the movies he was in, and how he played his …

John Stamos is somebody who I think got lucky because I honestly do not see any talent in this guy. On the show Full house he played Uncle Jesse and he did such a horrible job at it. The way this guy looked really amused me because he looked …

I both love and hate this internationally renowned popular talk show host and billionaire. She is just a combination of qualities that both appeal and discourage me. As a woman, she inspired me by her open-mindedness, intelligence, and independence but her religious and spiritual beliefs disappoint me especially in …

I see the Miami Dolphins cut Ernest Wilford and he was quickly re-signed by his former team; the Jacksonville Jaguars.
I’m not sure, at this point, what this will mean for Jacksonville. They are a team that is desperate to find playmakers to keep up in their division and bringing …

I have been watching everything that has to do with Tyler Perry. He is a well known actor, writer, and producer that has really come a long way. Before being known for what he does best he was homeless and had to live in his car for time and …

Can you honestly say that you do not love Regis Philbin? I think that guy is the man. He’s old, he’s cranky, he’s crotchety, cute, and sure as heck, he’s funny! He has a real sense of humor about himself, which I love, and I just …

You guys should really be on the positive lookout for Kanye West, for I think he is a truly multi-talented artiste as well as an extremely talented son. He has graced the covers of many hip-hop magazines and there is something that I love about him which I’m going …

Usher is a real cool R&B singer that I find such a dish. He looks so awesome and certainly good looking for a Black guy and I think his sexy crooning voice can definitely earn him a long-time keep for him and his new family.
Like I was so surprised …

I see the Green Bay Packers offered cornerback/kick returner Will Blackmon the low restricted free agent tender. That means he will play for a relatively low amount next season unless he finds another team that will make him an offer; giving the Packers a chance to match it or …

Dick Cheney is the former vice president to George W. Bush and since nobody else will say it I will, Dick Cheney is a scary looking dude! No seriously he is very creepy looking. His bald head, glasses and big body all is a recipe for scariness. He looks …

I admire Aaron Aziz very much, and he is such a dashing and handsome young man. But too bad, he is taken. He is married with a loving and doting wife with two kids, currently.
This local celebrity has made waves and acting in another country. …

Doogie Howser M.D. was a TV show with a twist. The lead character was a doctor, which isn’t unusual, except that Doogie was a 14-year old teenager. For four seasons, we saw Doogie deal with all kinds of trials and tribulations, and for acceptance. These unique …

The gorgeous and versatile Kelly Lynch is a great actress. Now I am not talking about the acting abilities of a Meryl Streep type actress, but Kelly Lynch is very, very good for the parts I have seen her cast in. I loved her in Drugstore Cowboy and most …

I think I would rather hear a million people scratching their fingernails across a blackboard than listen to Nancy Grace do another of her long, drawn-out rants. Nancy Grace’s half hour talk show airs on Headline news on weeknights and Sunday nights. Grace is a former prosecutor who …

If you have seen the film “Superbad” then you will be more than familiar with the actor, Jonah Hill. This tubby young man is attractive in his own way. But what is more fetching about him is his penchant for coming alive on film, and gracing …

I grew up knowing Danny Thomas as an actor primarily. I saw him singing, too, but in my mind, he was an actor, and Marlo Thomas’ dad. Recently, I saw his two of his first movie roles and that got me thinking about him again. The …

When I first was introduced to Ricki Lake, it was when I was watching the movie “Cry Baby”. It was a movie by John Waters about two teens from different sides of town falling in love. It was an all-star cast: Johnny Depp was in it which was enough …

He’s a man who plays the bagpipes, loves to sing a ditty, and knows how to act. He has a fun personality and lots of charisma. The man is Doug Sheehan.
Some readers may know him from a TV series called Day by Day. He played the …

The first time I heard of the comedian Dane Cook was when I saw him doing standup a couple years ago on the cable television channel Comedy Central. I was changing the channel when I spotted him, and what made me leave it there to watch the rest of …

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 …

One celebrity that I think has been acting awfully strangely within the past year and a half is Tom Cruise. Can we say midlife crisis?! Growing up, I seem to always have remembered the celebrity acting very cordial, calm, collected, and modest in interviews. Now, it …

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’m reading the NFL transaction wire and the first round of cuts that took today and was a bit surprised to see the Kansas City Chiefs parted with receiver Amani Toomer.
The Chiefs aren’t exactly loaded in terms of talent so the fact a veteran like Toomer didn’t even make …

Rory Cellan-Jones is the technology editor for the BBC, and has been involved in tech related journalism for as many years as I can remember now, certainly since well back into the 1990s. I quite like him and the way he writes, and I often make a habit of …

Hugh Hefner is the man; no one can dispute that fact, only his genius and persistent demeanor could have managed to make this magazine work in the face of adversity in the United States eyes. The vision of this great pioneer launched the careers of many other magazines who …

Rampage Jackson is a decent fighter and a decent actor and there are both bad and good things about this guy but for the most part I think that this guy has more good things than bad things to be said about him. I don’t really like this guys …

I used to hate Britney Spears. I mean, loathe her. However, I have been following her story closley and I actually like her now. She made some bad choices but she is overcoming them. I couldn’t imagine how it would be to be a star and have all those …

To be honest I don’t have e very many warm feelings when I think of the name Russel Crowe.
As an actor I haven’t seen a movie I really like him in. In fact there is barely a movie I can remember him in. I’m sure he must …

This X-Factor contestant from the 2008 series seemed to be a strong contender for the title of series winner when she first appeared. An unpolished, down to earth Londoner with the required sob story to tell, Hylton blasted out an impressive performance of Amy Winehouse’s “No Good” and quickly …

“Lindsay Lohan” is the name of a female american actress who began her career when she was still a child. She is only a few years older than me, and I can remember watching her in “Disney’s The Parent Trap” and loving her acting even at that age. Even though …

Jeff Gordon is a four-time stock car champion, but I didn’t become a fan until 2005. I’d heard of him off and on, but that’s about all I knew. When I started watching NASCAR again, after decades of ignoring the sport, it was just to pass the …

V.C Andrews is an author who I’ve discovered years ago from the movie “Flowers in the Attic”, but I’ve only begun reading her books as of recently.
All the V.C Andrews books are broken down into series; I tried to check them out at the library, but there were …

When it comes to controversial comedians, Frankie Boyle is certainly up there. He made his name on the comedy panel show Mock The Week as the man who was quite happy to push all barriers in order to make people laugh.
He was the man that was happy to say …

There has been countless rumors on the so called relationship between Rihanna and Chris Brown. Seriously, I don’t mind so much, because these 2 are great singers and it’s so evident in their songs; well, most of their songs, that is.
I started to fall in love with them when …

When I first saw Cirie on Survivor Fans Vs Favourites I didn’t really know what to think. She was a woman who had spent most her life in the city and being in a situation like Survivor was a huge change for her and I have to admit …

British-born Hayley Mills is a wonderful actress who I’ve enjoyed watching my entire life, going back to when she played twins in one my very favorite films, The Parent Trap. I was hooked right then and continued to watch as Hayley appeared in other family classics like Pollyanna, …

I only just found out who Miguel was last year when I started watching the cable television series, “The Voice”, on which he gave some of the contestants musical advice. I always heard people talk about him and refer to him, but was too lazy to find out who …

When Manchester United signed Andy Cole, he was the Newcastle United goal machine that simply could not stop scoring. Nobody had seen anything like his ability to score so many goals in one season for his club.
I remember how excited I was when it had been announced that he …

There are people in Hollywood that can only find specific movie roles; housewife, police officer, family comedies, etc. Then there are actors like Will Smith who can do pretty much anything asked of him.
If you count his early years as a rap star, Smith has made career jumps from …

Aliff Aziz is a local celebrity in my country and don’t be surprised to know that he is less than 20 years of age, but he has already achieved so much under his tiny belt of singing voice. He was discovered during a local talent singing contest and he …
