I have written several articles about the artist Scott Williams who plays the Hammered Dulcimer at Disney’s California Adventure Park. My articles raved on Scott’s music talent and his repertoire with his fans. I would like to retract my rave reviews on his repertoire with his fans. I …

Jack Black is like the man. I really adore him pretty much. Though many would say that he lacks the look that Hollywood needs and he is a bit on the plump side and etc, I still adore him to bits! That’s for sure.
And his latest …

Steven Finn is one of the new breed of England cricketers and a man who I really hope will mature into a truly fearsome fast bowler. Although he is still only in his very early twenties, he has already shown a lot of promise. Admittedly those displays were on …

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 …

Richard Laymon was a horror writer who was popular in England and other parts of Europe during the 80s and 90s. His novels never got a wide readership in the United States until the late-90s, when Leisure Publishing Company began issuing reprints of his books in mass market paperback …

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 …

In my opinion, Randy Moss is the best wide receiver in the NFL. He can do everything you could ask a receiver. catch, block, run, and everything. He is probably a future Hall of Famer. He reset the NFL record for touchdown receptions in a single season with 23. …

Sometimes you have to wonder about NFL teams and their evaluation process when it comes to picking new players in the NFL Draft.
In an era where first round picks often prove to be busts, you occasionally come across a player like the Kansas City Chief’s Tyler Thigpen, who start …

I don’t remember hearing about the actor Channing Tatum until a couple years ago when he seemed to almost get popular on the Hollywood scene and become a sex symbol overnight. I find that to be a mystery especially since I’m still trying to figure out what a lot …

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 …

I suppose I should begin by clarifying that this review is for Richard Hatch, the actor, and not Richard Hatch, the survivor. Having been a fan of the actor for years, it was a bit nutty to hear the survivor’s name bandied around so much over the last …

David Beckham is an English soccer player - but that sentence hardly does justice to the massive levels of support, hype and criticism that this player has received over the course of his playing career, whether it be in England, Italy or the U.S. Add to that his marriage …

The big show the wrestler
The Big show is without the doubt probably the largest wrestler in the entire WWE. I am a big fan of the big show because he has a pretty funny and somewhat awkward ring persona and some of the jokes he says are funny. His …

After securing a place on the live shows of 2009’s X-Factor series, Rachel quickly proved herself unpopular with viewers, although its hard to pick out why.
She was stunning to look at, had a very individual sense of style and her voice was superb. She may not have had the …

I was excited when the Packers hired Dom Capers to be their defensive coordinator at the start of this past season. And, after seeing him in action this year, I can’t wait to see him back next year.
The Packers made a major defensive philosophy change this season; switching from …

When I first heard the Pussy Cat Dolls I wasn’t sure what to think. Firstly their song was a bit sexual and they started off as a burlesque group in Hollywood which brought about the rumor that before they were pop stars they were strippers.
I wasn’t sure what …

I first ran across this young man when I saw an article on yahoo news about his youtube video that was released of a sixth grade talent show in which he was playing the piano and singing his own rendition of Lady Gaga’s Paparazzi. I hate Lady Gaga… I’ll …

Recently I’ve begun to take an interest in different directors whose work has caught my eye, and one of these is the New Zealand film director “Peter Jackson”, who has directed several very big budget and popular movies over the last few years.
Jackson has officially become one of …

After quarterback Trent Green was knocked out for yet another season with yet another concussion last year, I thought for sure he would wind up retiring. Instead, he signed with the St. Louis Rams as a back up.
Today, I learned they are naming him the starter over quarterback Marc …

I remember Demi Moore from the beginning of her career, when she won the role of Jackie Templeton on General Hospital. She was teamed with the show’s two leading actors — Anthony Geary and Tristan Rogers. She got a lot of notice and publicity for her role.
Demi …

Despite all the critics and drama that has surrounded Tom Cruise for the past five years or so, I still think he’s a great actor and it doesn’t hurt that he’s good-looking, too.
I didn’t get my first glimpse of Tom Cruise until I saw him in the movie “The …

I see the Bills stole quarterback Brian Brohm from the Green Bay Packers practice squad. I’m not really sure what to think about this move. The Bills are supposedly heading in a different direction but I’m not sure the former second round pick is the best sign of that.
Granted, …

Scott Speedman is one of my most favourite actors out there. He was born in London, England, but grew up in Toronto, Canada. He began his career as just another heartthrob. Many predicted him to become the next Leonardo DiCaprio, or the next Brad Pitt. But he is …

When I was much younger in the 90s, I used to see and hear a lot of people fan-girling over the American actor “Brad Pitt”. Now at the time I didn’t even know who Brad Pitt was, especially since I was a child. It was only when I got …

Now a well known comedian through shows like Marion and Geoff and more recently, Gavin and Stacy; Brydon is one of the modern greats of British comedy.
He’s a brilliant writer as well as a terrific performer, really giving detail to seemingly simple comic characters that both endears us toward …

Well after reading today that John Cena is in fact the highest grossing talent when it comes to merchandising the WWE has ever seen i was quite surprised, i mean here you have a guy who is selling more t-shirts that the likes of Hulk Hogan and Steve Austin …

Ryan Giggs, I don’t think you will ever see the like again. He made his debut for Manchester United at the age of 17 and nearly 20 years later, Ryan Giggs in still their making a contribution to the side.
It will be odd when he has gone because as …

I like Jake Gyllenhaal because he’s one of those actors that are a required taste; you have to watch his movies to really appreciate his talent as an actor. I was actually surprised to see that even though he has been getting a lot of publicity, his resume was …

The first time I saw Tom Cruise he was a kid with bad teeth, a great smile and a lot of charisma. He was a star.
He started off doing a lot of good movies which made him really popular and some of the old movies when I see …

When it comes to controversial comedians, Frankie Boyle is certainly up there. He made his name on the comedy panel show Mock The Week as the man who was quite happy to push all barriers in order to make people laugh.
He was the man that was happy to say …

I remember the first scene little Kimberly McCullough had on General Hospital, way back in 1985. She was the cutest little thing, but sharp. Her character of Robin, viewers soon found out, was the daughter of Robert Scorpio and his ex-wife, Anna Devane. Kimberly took the …

Victoria Beckham has her fair share of fans and non-fans. But I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of people are perhaps a bit jealous of her success, especially with her very successful marriage with husband, David Beckham. If you review closely, the business ventures that she …

I actually remember when Paula Abdul was considered a good performer, music leader, and choreographer guru. No one talked about strange behavior or anything scandalous, beyond whatever might have happened during her marriage to Emilio Estevez.
She faded somewhat from the limelight, though, until she re-emerged as a judge …

I have mixed feelings about Alec Baldwin. If I am considering him as an actor I have to say I like him. Not for his great acting ability because to me he seems kind of limited in that regard but because in the roles he plays he …

For most of her life, Barbra Streisand has been a perfectionist. As a lifelong fan of hers, it’s really nice to see her letting go of that perfection and truly enjoying life without judging herself so harshly.
The woman is a beautiful songbird, her voice so clear and precise. …

Ole Gunnar Solsjaer. If you had told this man when he was a child that he would go on to be a Manchester United legend he would have laughed in your face. However, after being plucked from nowhere whilst playing for Molde in Norway, no one realised that this …

Randolph Mantooth hit it big back in the seventies when he won the role of Johnny Gage on Emergency! He was in all the teen magazines and became a teen sensation, as did his co-star, Kevin Tighe.
Emergency! is, to this day, one of my very favorite television shows. …

For me, Alex Ferguson is the greatest coach to have ever lived in my time and will be the greatest for a very long time. I really think it will take something very special, from someone very special, to even come close to emulating the brilliance of Sir Alex …

I see the Dallas Cowboys gave coach Wade Phillips an extension after being eliminated from the playoffs last weekend.
While I’m sure there are some fans and media that will criticize the move, I think it is a good one. Phillips might have a reputation for not being able to …

I think Katherine Heigl is my new favorite actress. I have so much respect for her since she bowed out of the Emmy deal. She said, in many articles written about the subject, that she didn’t believe that she was given Emmy material. She is beautiful and has conviction. …

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 …

One night i was bored just scrolling around on YouTube and i came across Greysons video in one of the most popular categories. I am a fan of Bieber and wanted to see what Greyson was like, i didnt know how old he was at the time but after …

Paging Doctor Drake, heartbreak!
In the early eighties, Rick Springfield joined the cast of General Hospital and began his climb to pop idol status. The actor/singer claimed he was trying to focus on his acting for a while, and the character of Doctor Noah Drake certainly allowed him to …

As a regular on the hit HBO improvisational comedy series Curb Your Enthusiasm, Cheryl Hines plays the long suffering wife of lead character Larry David; a man full of quirks and phobias, a complicated man to live if nothing else.
Hines is brilliant in the role, and even if she’d …

When it was announced Packers cornerback Al Harris could miss the entire season with a spleen injury, many fans started writing off their season.
I’m not ready to do that yet and Tramon Williams is the reason.
While still raw, Williams has the potential to eventually be a star in the …

I was so not into Taraji Henson when I first saw her on screen. The movie was “Baby Boy”—another one of those “Boyz N da Hood” type films wherein the young ‘brother’ is trying to make his way in the world despite the ghetto surroundings of his daily …

Even though I didn’t discover Robert De Niro until the early nineties, he had already established his career with an award winning movie “Taxi Driver”. I attempted to watch the movie when I was younger, but when my mom caught wind of the nature of the movie and she …

Heidi Bohay has always fascinated me. She’s bright and bubbly, and she’s a beautiful woman. I loved watching her on Hotel, which is probably her biggest career success. She was just a lot of fun to watch. She had the good girl/girl next door quality …

Back in 1977, I tuned in to one of my soap operas, General Hospital, and saw there was a new character on the show, a stuffy-nosed doctor named Alan Quartermaine. I liked him, and he looked so very familiar. I just couldn’t place him, though. I …
