When the everyday joe meets a movie star, there’s usually the feeling of awe. Usually. But when you meet a has-been or a wannabe movie star that was only in a few movies that people remember them from, you truly see something about them. Such was the case when …

The actress Vanessa Hudgens is one of those who I find that I just can’t stand. I might not know much about her personality and she really might actually be a great individual if you get to know her, but she’s one of the few actors that I believe …

Now that the Packers are once again returning to the playoffs, I can’t help but feel excited about the things we might see from quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
Rodgers is always going to be in Brett Favre’s shadow in Green Bay; at least until he can show he can lead the …

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 …

Jack Nicholson should be on everyone’s favorite actor’s list because he is so charismatic and has that cool factor that will never fade. I can’t really recall the first time I saw him appear in a movie, however, I do remember my high school humanities teacher showing us his …

Known to his teammates and loving fans as “Greenie”, Dick Green was a fantastic and often overlooked second basemen for the Oakland Athletics.
As a kid, I followed the A’s religiously. I even scored the games while listening over the radio or watching the telecasts on TV. The …

Tom Hanks is a very good actor, he has made some very good movies, and keeps making great movies. He was great in the movie Big. He is also very well known for his role in the movie, called Forest Gump. I think this is one of his biggest roles, …

Sometimes it’s hard to know what you have until you don’t have it anymore. The late Robert Urich was a very strong television actor, who brought entertainment and joy to fans for decades until cancer claimed his life. We were used to seeing him and maybe didn’t …

John Fahey was one of the very best things to happen to American music. I’m convinced of this idea. He was a treasure in his early career with folk and blues; “American Primitive” as it was coined by god knows who. Fahey would tune his guitar …

Russell Hantz was a contestant on Survivor Samoa and in my opinion is the best Survivor player in the nineteen seasons of the game. Why?
He didn’t come into the game a winner, at first I thought he was annoying. Hilarious though.
Short, stout and scheming it didn’t seem …

Jerri Manthey calls herself the original Villainess of Survivor and I have to agree with her on that count. When i first saw her on Survivor Australia I hated her with a passion. Then on All Stars I thought she was treated a bit unfairly and now …

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 …

Leonardo DiCaprio is probably one of the most in demand actors and probably the youngest highest paid actors. At twenty million per picture and a reputation for delivering great performances, it’s safe to say that he has paid his dues; I’m pretty sure all his fans will agree with …

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 …

I always loved Bob Ross. I watched him since a teen on THE LOCAL PBS channel. Once I started painting seriously I knew what my next birthday gift would have been. Finally once I turned 32 last year, I had the pleasure to open my first Bob Ross painting …

Most folks know Nana Visitor from her role on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, where she portrayed the very tough Major Kira. In more recent times, she’s familiar to TV viewers as Jean Witter on Wildfire; but for me, though, I’ll always think of Nana as Georgina on …

I see Leon Washington is signing his restricted free agent tender and will return to the New York Jets next season.
This is not much of a surprise. Under normal circumstances, he might have drawn some interest. But, when another team has to give up a draft pick, it’s a …

A little before his name became synonymous with substance abuse, Charlie Sheen was one of those actors whose movies I actually liked watching. I’d seen him play various roles and I couldn’t help thinking about how talented he was. These days, I mourn the loss of his talent as …

I was reading today that the St. Louis Rams are a team that might pursue a quarterback next year in an effort to replace current starter Marc Bulger. If that is true, I think it is a good example of the injustice players sometimes get at that position when …

Cher has been around forever - even before I was born and so as a kid who was heavily exposed to the media I grew up always knowing who Cher was.
But the first time I really noticed her was in the 1980’s film Mermaids. In this movie she …

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. …

Beyonce, Beyonce, Beyonce! Some people are sick of hearing the chants and some are more than eager to join in. Can you believe the many women AND men on YouTube and other web-based broadcasting systems strutting around in skin-tight outfits, wigs on, and their mother’s rings shouting, “Put a …

Ryan Renyolds is a handsome television and movie actor with a great deal of charisma. When I first saw him in Two Guys a Girl and a Pizza Place I immediately liked him but not to an extent that I was a fan. I just noticed he …

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 …

One of Hollywood actresses with gorgeous hair would be Tamara Mello. She looks glamorous and with her nice tanned skin, it’s no wonder that she has managed to become an actress. I have watched her act in the movie ‘She’s All That’ as well and she appeared to …

After the dreadful mistake made by Robert Green in England’s opening World Cup 2010 match (against the United States) it was not really a surprise to most people (certainly not to me) that coach Fabio Capello decided to make a change, and to bring in the hugely experienced David …

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 …

Jeremy Dyson isn’t the most well known face in British comedy, but his influence is certainly felt. As the forth member of the famous comedy troupe The League of Gentlemen, Dyson appears offscreen for the most part, camera shy and not an actor by trade, he instead sticks to …

I was reading this morning that the Washington Redskins just signed punter Josh Bidwell to a contract. I know they have been in need of a veteran punter but I just can’t understand this signing.
Bidwell was a decent punter, when he was younger. But, I remember him with the …

Some running backs can get arrested for disorderly conduct and not have to worry about their roster spot on their team. Arizona Cardinals running back J.J. Arrington is not one of those guys.
The Cardinals used a second round pick on Arrington in 2005; indicating they had high hopes for …

Benigno Aquino Jr. is my hero. The Filipinos fondly call him Ninoy. I decided to write about him now because today (the time of this writing, August 21, 2009) marks his 26th death anniversary. Through this humble piece, I hope to inspire all readers to follow after Ninoy’s patriotic …

Matthew Wright is a tricky one to explain. The broadcaster and presenter, best known for his morning discussion show “The Wright Stuff”, can come across as a prickly type.
It’s hard to like him from the off, he’s opininated and from the off, that can be hard to swallow.
Still, if …

The first time I saw Khloe Kardashian was on the reality TV series The Apprentice. To be honest she didn’t really get a fair shot on teh show as she had to take time off to serve community service for drink driving charges. Donald found out she …

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 am about the same age as Britney Spears and I grew up watching her grow up in the spotlight. More than anything it saddens me how someone who had such a bright future could throw it away so easily.
When Britney first came out of the woodwork she …

Richard Hatch is an odd person. I have watched him on television when he first became famous ten years ago on Survivor Borneo and I have seen him in the papers and in countless interviews since then.
Richard was the original Survivor bad boy. While everyone else was …

I was so glad when I found out that Gary Sinise was going to be the lead character on CSI: NY because I think he’s the best actor during primetime programming. Even though I have to wait every Wednesday for a new episode, there are always the episodes that …

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 …

Actor Sam Elliott is tall, handsome, and has a very deep and sexy voice. He’s made to play great character parts as well as the leading man.
I remember the first time I took note of him, and I have to say took note because he was on a series …

I remember JT O’Sullivan when he came to the Green Bay Packers a few years ago. I never heard much about the quarterback before then and really didn’t think that much about him other than the fact he was part of a trade for cornerback Mike McKenzie.
While with the …

I see the Buffalo Bills have fired coach Dick Jauron with 7 games remaining in the season.
The firing isn’t really much of a surprise, though the timing is (I wonder if they wanted to get a head start on finding his replacement and maybe bring in a big name …
