One of the keys to being an NFL star player is dependability. For some time, that word defined Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher.
Urlacher was, at one point, one of the most feared defensive players in the game. He has a good combination of size and speed and could make …

An actress who I’ve come to respect for several different reasons a part from her acting is the Australian Cate Blanchett. While I realise that she was around for a couple years before it was released, I’m almost sure that the first place that I saw her was in …

Chad Ochocinco usually doesn’t offer a lot of insight into anything. But, he had a point about number one NFL receivers; they are the go-to guy because they have a chemistry with the quarterback.
That’s the case with surprise star Miles Austin; a receiver I never even heard of this …

Well, it’s time for Chikezie to go home. He was the first of the last ten finalists to get his walking papers on the show. I actually liked this young man. I didn’t expect him to sound the way he does. There are elements of …

My memory of when I first became aware of the actor “Jake Gyllenhaal” is a little sketchy. I know that he was around from the nineteen nineties as a child actor, but I don’t think that he was very popular since I don’t remember seeing him then. I also …

There’s no denying that Tom Cruise can act. He’s proven his worth in many successful motion pictures. That said, I’m not sure how much I like the man, or don’t like him.
One thing I do know is that I think he was given a bum rap over …

There are a couple actors that I tend to respect more than most as an artist for the simple fact of how much passion and work that they put into their art form. I’ve already mentioned the actress Helena Bonham-Carter, and now I think I’ll talk about the famous …

My introduction to Amanda Tapping came with her portrayal of Samantha Carter on Stargate SG-1. She has played that role for ten-plus years, on the series, on its spin-off, and in movies.
There are several things that I admire about Amanda. One of these is that she took …

If you don’t know who Beyonce’ is, you must have been hiding behind a rock at least the past year. I don’t know if there is much more that can be said about Beyonce’ that hasn’t been said already but, my opinion of her is NOT the “popular” …

Jim Jones is a rapper who is singed to Diplomat Records and he recently signed a joint venture with Sony Music for severial million dollars which I am dissapointed in. The reason being, the only method Jim Jones used to get famous was to stand next to Harlem rapper …

He was so full of passion and enthusiasm, preaching about how one should take …

Jo Brand is a British comedienne who might not be as famous as most, but certainly entertains in her routine. The overweight, less then feminine sort doesn’t really care about her appearance, and often makes a point of it in her routines. Sometimes she comes across as self effacing, …

Ben Affleck has quite a bit of talent and there are many reasons why I like him both as an actor and when he is off screen. His look is pretty cool because he has unique facial features. His face is cool looking because it looks strong and his …

When I first heard John Mayer’s song Your Body is a wonderland I really didn’t think anything more of him than he was a pop singer who didn’t really interest me.
John Mayer never really interested me until I read a blog on Perez Hilton’s website talking about John’s interview …

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 …

I think that I might become an unofficial autobiography author someday. That’s because I’m just so fascinated with people in general and love to praise successful people like Oprah and etc. Another great actress that I would like to comment on would be Julia Roberts.
Recently, I read Vanity …

When Owen Daniels entered the NFL draft after a somewhat impressive career at the University of Wisconsin, I had some doubts about whether or not he would be any good at the next level. He played tight end and was a reliable player in college. But, he was considered …

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 …

The state of politics in the Republic of South Africa really is something I get a good laugh from at any given time. Our president, Mr. Jacob Zuma, has stood trial for rape charges from which he was acquitted of course, and during his defense, I can quote him …

Matt Flynn as been the Green Bay Packers’ backup quarterback for about three years now and, up until recently, I really couldn’t write much about him because I only got a chance to see him play in very limited action.
However, after getting his first start against a talented New …

I had been an avid fan of this Australian conservationist and prominent personality in the animal channels over television. Steve Irwin is my favorite crocodile hunter because he is just unique as a person.
As I had been watching most of his …

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 …

There is no denying the Luke Wilson is one of the most appealing and intriguing actors out there. The secret to his success is hard to define as he is not the best actor out there, his family connections (his is a brother of Owen Wilson) do not shield …

When Jim Harbaugh was a player, I remember rooting for him whenever I watched him quarterback a team (unless, of course, he was facing the Packers). But, now that he is a head coach, I am scratching my head a bit about why so many NFL teams are interested …

Robert Redford has had a very respectful and successful career. I remember seeing him just shine in one of my favorite films, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. While I was mainly a Paul Newman fan, Redford’s terrific take on the Sundance Kid was a definite lure. …

The first time I saw Bill Paxton was in the 1989 movie, Next of Kin. He had a small but pivotal role as the brother of Patrick Swayze and Liam Neeson. I always said that it was a shame that Paxton was killed off so early in …

There is something that is so different from performers and “personalities.” There seems to be a rip in the balance of mankind and “personalities” can do whatever they please, while performers have to watch their every step. Sometimes, however, I do think “personalities” can often times be performers as …

I usually hardly ever listen to country music but occasionally I will. If I do listen to country music I am kind of picky as to what I am going to listen to, the songs have to have some type of meaning to it. It can’t just sing about …

The first time I was consciously aware of John De Lancie, he was just starting out on the soap opera Days of Our Lives. He played an insecure, loveable, kind nerd named Eugene Bradford. Eugene began as an odd character with a strange sort of fetish on …

I have been listening to Nicki Minaj for quite a while now, and find her music really worth listening to. Her sound and look is unique from other artist out today. I love her sound because it is different and she can sing and rap. She has become really …

As gangster’s moll Adrianna Le Cerva in hit mob drama The Sopranos, Drea De Matteo delivered the performance of her career and etched out a noteworthy performance in a series already crammed with stellar talent and genious writing.
Initially, Adrianna seemed little more than a superficial gangster’s moll. She’d grown …

Kate Winslet is an actress I first noticed in the movie by Peter Jackson called Heavenly Creatures. The story of Heavenly Creatures was a powerful one and Kate did an excellent job in it. I actually didn’t think anything more of her until I saw the feature …

Jeffery Archer is one of my most favourite authors. He’s also one of the best that I’ve read. I simply love his stories. Jeffery Archer’s stories are absolutely brilliant and all are testament to his own genius.
I’ve read a few other authors like Frederick Forsyth, Sidney Sheldon etc. but …

OK, Justin Harrell is injured again? Seriously?
When the Packers used a first round pick on the defensive end/tackle, I will admit I had some concerns. Apparently, he could have been a top 10 pick if he hadn’t been injured in college and, because of that injury, the Packers were …

When Diego Forlan signed for Manchester United, it was out of the blue. He got on the plane to come and sign for Middlesborough and Manchester United trumped them at the last minute. Nobody really knew too much about this player other than that he had started to build …

Paul Scholes, a player that came through at Old Trafford with the likes of Beckham, Giggs, the Neville brother and Nicky Butt. This was a golden generational and no one expected this payer to last the est of time so well. Whilst other players have courted celebrity and the …

I love Rihanna. She is really one of the best singers nowadays in the world not just in her country or the Americas, but the whole world. Rihanna’s songs are very unique; she has different approach to the music that we all call art. Adding her own brand …

I see the Patriots lost starting defensive end Jarvis Green for at least a couple of weeks. This is a huge blow to a team that is having a great season so far.
Even though I think he might be a bit on the small side to be playing defensive …

I think that Tim Curry is one of those very underrated actors whose talent most people witness, but it isn’t really seen or recognised. This is because a few other actors who are less deserving of the attention for whatever reason seem to overshadow him. There is a chance …
