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 …

Julianne Moore remains one of my favourite A-list American actresses. This is because I like her acting, and because of that I am more likely to watch any movie, no matter the genre which she appears in. Despite that fact, I have liked many of her movies anyway since …

Chris Brown is the name of a popular African American hip hop and soul singer who rose to fame in the year 2005. However, the only time I actually remember hearing him since I’m not interested in much of that kind of music, is last year and possibly the …

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 …

Now that Kabeer Gbaja Biamila’s career seems to be pretty much over, I thought it was time to take a few minutes to discuss his legacy with the Green Bay Packers and where he stands in terms of his success in the league.
KGB played at a pretty high level …

When I heard the Green Bay Packers were hiring Kevin Greene to coach their outside linebackers, I wasn’t sure what to think at first. But, after some thought, I think this is going to be a good move for a defense in transition.
As I’ve mentioned before and is highly …

I will admit it, for a while there, I had lost some faith in Packers’ running back Ryan Grant. He had a great rookie season, an OK second season and seemed to have disappeared for a good chunk of this year.
But, once again, he is showing us why the …

Like I suspect so many others, I watched with rapt attention Tiger Woods’ press conference this morning. I suppose like the sad commentary that it is on today’s society, it certainly sounded familiar (Kobe Bryant, Mark Sanford anyone?), though like some other very public steps towards reconciliation before …

I can remember when Britney Spears first became popular in the late nineties. The first time I saw her was on the Disney Channel in her music video called “Sometimes”. At that time she was not the sex symbol she is being portrayed as both in her music …

I watch American Idol every year and I can’t really say I’m a huge fan anymore. It seems as though it’s becoming the same old thing for a while and so when I saw Adam Lambert it was like a breath of fresh air.

Even though Gerard (pronounced Jared) Butler has been around for some time, and I actually watched a majority of his movies unbeknownst to me, he just showed up on my radar when I watched the movie “300″ for the first time.
At first I didn’t want to watch the movie …

Rihanna is one of the few black singers that I like. I like her passionate style and very natural and clean voice. I hate to hear singers who make their voice big and sound like singing lions. Rihanna is not. Her voice needs no alteration. It is just naturally …

When the Tampa Bay Buccaneers started their rookie quarterback Josh Freeman this past weekend, a lot of people thought it meant the team would continue to lose as their new starter went through some growing pains.

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 …

I don’t really understand why so many people hate Bill so much. He is a very easy going individual with a great smile and laugh. He makes you feel like he is looking out for you by the way he presents the facts. He takes on stories that the …

Peter Boyle played Raymond’s dad on the hit show Everybody Loves Raymond, and he is a very good actor. You might not know this, but Peter Boyle also played the role of the cab driver in the movie The Shadow. He is very funny, and a very good actor. …

This is probably not going to be a popular statement, but it’s how I sincerely feel. If Dale Earnhardt Jr. didn’t have the Earnhardt surname, no one would care much about him as a NASCAR entity. He’d be just another racer out on the track. I …

Brad Pitt is an actor who I do not think has a whole lot of talent and I honestly believe that he only got famous because he was probably in the right place at the right time but I will say this right now that I am not a …

The first time I saw Amy Adams acted was in the film ‘Catch Me If You Can’, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and she was quite convincing as an actress. Amy Adams is very pretty and she has this very ‘cameo-effect’ that I really love about.
She also had been …

When Rams receiver Tory Holt was released, I figured there would be some teams interested in signing him. And, so far, it looks like I was right.
I’m not sure he’s going to land a record breaking contract or anything. After all, he’s 32 years old and probably only has …

I don’t really like Pink very much, the artist who made it big with her songs with strong conviction and lively song tunes. As what she said, she does not want to sing love songs and don’t mean it. I think that is true. I believe in her with …
