When I returned from a decade’s long hiatus of watching NASCAR and tuned in to the Speed Channel for the first time a few years ago, one of the faces that captured my attention was an enthusiastic blonde named Kristen Voda. She really seemed to know what she …

I could still remember the first time I watched Manny Pacquiao on television in a boxing show, “Blow by Blow” way back ten years ago. He was still this very skinny and ragged looking boxer whose moves really captured my attention. He is very fast …

I have become addicted to American Idol. As a teenager, I never had posters on my walls of my favorite artists, nor did I buy the silly teen magazines with bright colors and boy bands. As an adult, sadly, I am a huge fan of the show. I can’t …

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 …

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 have always loved John Wayne. I don’t love all of his movies, but I love his passion and the conviction with which he lived his life. He wasn’t a perfect man, but he was definitely tall in the saddle. He was also a very patriotic …

Frankly speaking, I do not know who Cash Warren actually is. I only learned about him after reading about his quite famous actress girlfriend, Jessica Alba on being pregnant with his child. So I “googled” this guy and I was so shocked to see how good looking he …

Matt Hardy is a wrestler in the WWE who is a good wrestler but as of lately it seems that the WWE is shortchanging him on opportunities that Matt Hardy certainly deserves. Matt Hardy is not in as good shape as he once was years ago and I think …

Well, the Major League Baseball season is swinging into it’s final months and while some of the division races are far from over, the same can be said for this campaign’s Rookie of the Year balloting. The list of high impact rookie names to hit the majors in 2010 …

I think I have a silly little crush for James McAvoy, the actor that has acted for the latest movie, ‘Wanted’. He is a Scotman, I think and is very dashingly nerd. I wonder if there’s such a term.
I think that movies nowadays are not really caring that …

Sheamus may very well be my favorite bad guy in wrestling today because his whole persona is just crazy, literally he plays a hot headed mad Irish man and this is great and I have yet to see a boring side to Sheamus. I think it is hilarious that …

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 …

Tommy Lee Jones is a serious actor. He’s one of those who takes his work about as serious as serious can be.
I remember when he began on One Life to Live, playing the, yes, serious role of Doctor Mark Toland. He was an evil one, and he …

Christopher Judge is best known for playing the tall, very strong Jaffa on Stargate SG-1. Indeed, that’s where I know him from. Of course, he did do one episode of MacGyver that is a hoot to go back and watch. As I recall, it was one …

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 …

I see the St. Louis Rams decided to part ways with starting quarterback Marc Bulger; likely an indication they intend on drafting one with the first overall pick later this month.
There are going to be a whole bunch of teams mentioned as potential Bulger suitors. But, I have a …

Ralph Waldo Emerson proposed a myriad of controversial ideas while he emerged as the philosopher with the most notoriety in the mid 1800’s through his progressive radical movement called Transcendentalism. Transcendentalism was formulated as a protest against the lack of deep intellectualism at Harvard as well as the United …

When I was a little girl, I watched the Gidget movie and like so many other girls, just fell all over myself for the yummy Italian James Darren. He played Moondoggie in three Gidget films. It was a huge jumping off point for the young actor and …

The first time I had ever heard of Robert Pattinson was when I saw the shorts for Twilight and I was very surprised to see him in that role. To me he looked kind of silly with his hair fluffed up and his skin a deathly pale. …

Ian Somerhalder is another actor that is semi new to me. I remember him from a horror movie awhile back called “Pulse”. At first I didn’t know it was Somerhalder in “Pulse” until I started seeing pictures of him all of the entertainment websites and shows, and that’s when …

It’s fair to say that Fabien Barthez was a bit of a crazy goalkeeper that gave the position a whole new feeling about it. I had never been of a fan of his but arrived with a world cup winners medal around his neck having won the competition with …

The Detroit Lions have used quite a few first round draft picks on their “quarterback of the future” only to have the players not pan out. I hate to say it, but I’m still not convinced this year’s first round pick Matthew Stafford won’t follow that same path.
It’s a …

When I first became re-hooked on NASCAR a few years ago, one of the veteran drivers I quickly became aware of was Mark Martin. He was the veteran driver for Roush Racing, and everything I heard was enormously positive. He was a good racer, they said. …

When I first saw the biblical movie Abraham some years ago, I was pleasantly surprised with late Richard Harris. However in those years I did not pay attention to the actor’s name. I just knew Richard Harris as the one playing Abraham. When he played Professor Albus Dumbledore in …

Sue McGuire is a friend of mine that I met a few years ago while we were working together at a local vet/pet supply company. The two of us used to answer the phones and are styles were very different when it came to dealing with customers. She was …

A common contributor on comedy panel shows and other comedy shows of the type, Frankie Boyle has proved himself a prolific and steady comic performer. He’s foul mouthed, angry and always pushes at his gags, often to great effect, but sometimes suffering from the “same old, same old” vibe …

I think Kelly Ripa must be superwoman! She has three children and works full time on her morning show, “Live With Regis And Kelly”, as well as running a production company with her husband Mark. Not only that, I am always amazed at how great she looks …

While I mentioned that I have a love for dance music from the nineteen nineties, there was a point in my life that I began to like pop and dance hits and even new wave from the eighties a little bit more. There were a couple of people who …

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 …

Bill O’Reilly is the ultra conservative host of “The O’Reilly Factor” on Fox News. Since I am more of a moderate person, politically-speaking, extreme views from either the right or left don’t always sit well with me. There is just something so smug and self-righteous about this …

For those of you who do not know who Rachel Griffiths is, she is the talented actress that acted in the drama series, “Brothers and Sisters”. She is a 38 year old actress and she has aged well and certainly looks matured to me. I definitely think that …

I’m going to be completely honest and say that the first time that I noticed the actor Sir Ian McKellen would have been the first time I had seen him play the role of Gandalf in the first Lord of the Rings movie. I thought that he was an …

I rarely criticize Green Bay Packers players because it is my favorite team and I would give anything to be in their shoes. But, Johnny Jolly is proving to be a player who just doesn’t get it sometimes.
Jolly, who is already facing potential prison time for drug charges, essentially …

Most people probably know Claudia Black from her role opposite Ben Browder in the science fiction show, Farscape. This particular series was a bit too far out for me, though because of reruns, I’ve probably seen all of the episodes. Frankly, I was just never that impressed …

When I returned to watching NASCAR after decades away, one of the new drivers was Carl Edwards. He quickly captured my interest, and I’m still following this talented young man as he progresses in his racing career.
When Carl won his first race at this level, he surprised everyone …

I was reading the Carolina Panthers intend on keeping their head coach John Fox through next season; despite earlier rumors that his job might be on the line.
I think this is an excellent move for the team.
OK, Fox had a bad start to this year and that ultimately kept …

Young Billy Gilman hit the music big time circa 2000. He had a gigantic first hit with a song called One Voice. It was a mega-hit, heard all over the radio. Gilman was requested to sing that song on just about every TV show that featured …

The first time I saw Cat Deeley was a couple of years ago when she became the host of So You Think You Can Dance. The amazing things about reality shows like that one is that they assume we know who these females are. I’d never heard …

There has been so much controversy surrounding Britney Spears. I actually feel bad for her. I feel like it’s not her fault; the paparazzi is annoying and they put her in danger. Then they whine and yell when she rolls over their feet because they are too close to …

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 …

He is one of the most popular action heroes ever. He ruled Hollywood blockbusters in 70s and 80s. He looked great and had a good physique and played action roles superbly on screen. His Rocky series was a big hit and all of the sequels very well accepted …

www.myspace.com/Brigfeltus is currently one of my favorite Myspace pages.
Brig Feltus is an indie artist who has recently signed to a label. Her record will come out in stores in July. What I like about her most is that she isn’t typical. Her music has feeling to it. I can …

On the one hand, without knowing the person personally, it is difficult to get a good impression. But, on the other hand, you can read his biography - the information published for free viewing. Which of these is true and which is not, you can’t tell.
A writer can remake …

Walt Disney was an American cartoonist after whom Disney World and Disney Land were named. Walt Disney created the wonderful films such as Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs, Fantasia and Bambi. I saw a documentary that showcases Walt Disney’s works and he spoke about creating the movie, Bambi. …

I have been following receiver Chris Chambers since he was playing for the Wisconsin Badgers. And, I’m glad to see he is getting a chance to continue his football career a bit longer after being signed by the Kansas City Chiefs a day after being cut by the San …

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 …

Snoop Dogg is a cool guy. I have been listening to his music since I was a kid. I must say I’m a huge fan and I love his voice, his style and the fact he manages to stay current in an environment that is constantly changing.
Having …

I was first introduced to Taye Diggs (not literally) in the film “How Stella Got Her Groove Back.” His cute little accent just drove women wild. And I will admit that it seemed fairly authentic at the time. Taye is one of those …
