I knew nothing of the English actor Tom Hiddleston until he caught my attention playing the role of the super villain Loki in the movie Thor, and then in the movie Avengers. He was so good that I personally thought that he stole the show both times, and since …

Victoria Wood is without doubt one of the UK’s most prolific comediennes, or at least was up until a few years ago and looks to be again soon. She’s also the most successful in the area, perhaps not having as many shows as the likes of Jennifer Saunders and …

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 …

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 …

James Rollins is currently one of my favorite thriller/fiction/action/adventure writers. I have read most of his books, my favorites being Ice Hunt, Sandstorm, and Map of Bones. No matter which Rollins book I am reading, I have a very difficult time putting it down. I cannot describe how much …

Corrine Bailey Rae has now become one of my favorite artist. I just recently got her CD, “Like a Star”, after hearing a song of hers that I really liked, called “Put your Records On”. I had never heard of her before that. When I got …

Funny, funny guy.
His timing is really great. He’s got a whole lot of just hilarious jokes (Daddy’s little princess?….) but the best is when he just makes stuff up. I was at a show once where he was in the audience and the host of the comedy show just …

When it comes to unexpected and awesome performances in movies this guy freaking blows my mind away with all the talent he has. Matt Damon comes off as boring when he gives interviews and when he is videotaped just doing normal things and the way he carries himself is …

Perez Hilton is a worldwide famous blogger. He runs one of the most popular if not the most popular celebrity gossip website out there. The website is his name; however I cannot stand Perez Hilton. Perez Hilton loves to bad mouth people and exploits celebrities’ lives. He loves to …

People may know Charlie Hunnam from the popular show, “Sons of Anarchy” or “SOA” as fans affectionately refer to it; I hate to admit that I’m guilty of the same reason for knowing who Charlie Hunnam is.
I first came across Charlie two seasons ago when he began playing the …

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 …

Simon Cowell is one of my favorite celebrities because he is so entertaining to watch. I love watching him on American Idol. He was my favorite judge and it is a shame to see him go.
I love the way he speaks his mind even when the other …

I was reading today that Dunta Robinson is looking to renegotiate with the Houston Texans in an effort to get a long term deal with the team that used a franchise tag on him this season.
I think the Texans might want to be cautious about that.
Robinson is a decent …

Boris Said is a part time race car driver and sports analyst. Quite honestly, he’s not on my A list of racers. He’s not even on my B list. He’s colorful, but I don’t like his racing attitude or style. He’s not without good qualities, …

Whoever said that singing was a hard dream to come true, especially to someone who is already working in a field that is far from the music industry? Well, whoever said that has never met Mass Alert.
Mass Alert or Masara, is a Japanese Musician who had just debuted last …

Jaison Robinson was a contestant on popular reality television show Survivor. Jaison appeared on the 19th season which was based in Samoa.
Jaison’s entrance onto the was quite promising. He is educated, well-spoken and seemed like he would be a good player in the game.
Sadly he didn’t …

Several years ago, I would watch Kurt Warner as he played for the St. Louis Rams and remember not liking him too much. Part of that was the fact he had one his second league MVP title and I was afraid he would tie Brett Favre with three. The …

When I first saw Sandra on Survivor Pearl islands I didn’t think much of her. Sandra unlike the other contestants didn’t stand out. Sandra isn’t beautiful in the traditional sense, she is a mother and she is very much normal. She didn’t have a strong personality …

Carrie Underwood stormed onto the music scene when she won American Idol a few years ago. She was my favorite that season, a high school girl with a pretty smile and a great voice. I loved the image and the good vibe that she emoted. When …

When the Chicago Bears hired Lovie Smith as their coach a few years ago, he came in promising he would beat the Green Bay Packers. And, for the most part, he has.
But, unfortunately for Bears fans, that’s about as far as his success has gone in Chicago.
OK, sure, he …

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 …

While her name might not necessarily ring a bell readily to quite a bit of people, I think that most who watch movies will see her as a familiar face. When I started seeing her first, my main problem was that I felt like she didn’t stand out much …

I see Darren Sharper has reached a deal with the New Orleans Saints. I’m not sure what exactly that is going to mean to the team however.
A few years back, I think Sharper was one of the better safeties in the league. Even though he never reached the level …

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 …

For eleven years, Roseanne Barr dominated the ABC airwaves with her half hour comedy/drama hit show, “Roseanne”. She got plenty of flack from critics for being a crude, loud mouth feminist; but with all that said, I think she was a cool actress when she was working.
I was just …

The problem the Packers have had two of their last three seasons was a lack of experience …

One of the best actresses working today, as far as I’m concerned, Edie Falco is someone who should have gotten more work before she hit the big time in her appearances in shows like Oz and The Sopranos.
No doubt best known for her role as mob wife Carmella Soprano …

When the Green Bay Packers decided to switch to a 3-4 defense, one of the first things I said would happen would be linebacker Brady Poppinga would find he’s a perfect fit and would challenge for one of the starting outside linebacker spots.
Turns out I was right about that.
Poppinga …

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 …

When Jamie Lynn Spears announced she is pregnant, many people were quick to drop their support for her and criticize her.
While I don’t condone her pregnancy, I have to say I’ve actually gained a little more respect for Brittany’s kid sister.
First, for those of you who are condemning her …

I think Howard Stern the radio shock VJ is very obnoxious and his attitude is just so vulgar and the way he acts is disgusting and you know what these are the reasons I absolutely love Howard Stern. He may be a big pig and say gross things and …

Ok, I’m reading today that the Buffalo Bills might be hiring Chan Gailey as their next head coach.
What the heck are they drinking in that town?

I once thought Matt Hasselbeck was one of the most underrated quarterbacks out there and thought he should be considered among the elite. Maybe not at the same level as Peyton Manning and Tom Brady but in the same breath as guys like Tony Romo and Eli Manning.
Then I …

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 watched the Oprah show the other day on the television and when I first saw the guest star, whom is a new success to the fashion industry in America; Rachel Roy; I was not yet interested. I thought, this will be another designer, whom perhaps the designs will …

In my opinion, one of the most underrated actors of all time is the wonderful Dick Van Dyke. Yes, he gets acclaim and has in a number of ways, but I seldom hear him mentioned with some of the great actors, and I really believe he is.
Of course, …

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 …

The Packers seem to be ready to start Mark Tauscher at right tackle beginning this week. It’ll be interesting to see if that happens and whether or not it will improve some of the pass protection on that offensive line.
A lot of people wanted to see Tauscher starting weeks …

When I was a little girl, I remember vividly watching Patty Duke portray identical cousins on her TV. She was perky and bubbly, and I just took to her instantly. The Patty Duke Show is still one of my favorites.
I had no idea at the time of …

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 …

Giovanni Ribisi has been on my list of favorite actors since I’ve seen him in the movie “Boiler Room”. I think he’s such an underrated actor and it’s a shame because the guy blows away the majority of the actors in the spotlight.
Even though I didn’t notice the talented …

A woman worthy of admiration is the great actress/singer, Debbie Reynolds. She’s had a terrific career in show business, and she’s one gutsy lady to boot.
Just a few highlights off the top of my head that I often think about when the name Debbie Reynolds is finished.
First, I …

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 …
