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 …

I’m not one of those people who has an interest in mainstream music, so I’m generally one of the last people to find out about certain popular songs even if some people have heard them playing on the radio for ages. The same thing happened when a few of Sam …

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 …

This is such a sad and tragic story. Its always sad when somebody dies so young. I cant believe he is gone, he was one of the last people I thought would die so sudden and so young. I feel so bad for his daughter and Michelle, he seemed …

An actress/comedienne by trade, Debra Stephenson first made herself famous for her role as the villainous jail bird Shell Dockley in ITV prison drama Bad Girls, where for three years, she amused and shocked audiences as a loveable villain that kept the show going even in quiet times. After …

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, …

Jay Sean is a pretty good singer who sings some really nice songs. His song “Maybe” talks about online love and how things like facebook have changed things and helped people find love from all over the world. He also has some really nice and very sad songs as well. …

It’s been days since former Dallas Cowboys’ defensive end Chris Canty signed with the New York Giants and there are still Green Bay Packers fans screaming about the fact the Packers didn’t even make a legitimate effort to sign the player.
Give it a rest.
Ok, I’ll be the first to …

Tim Bresnan is one of the lesser lights of the England cricket team for this winter’s Ashes tour of Australia. I suspect that if I used such a phrase to his face, Bresnan would get quite annoyed, and he may well have a point, but the fact is that …

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 …

Puff Daddy is a guy I don’t really like all that much. Why? He seems a little too conceited and crazy for my liking. His real name is Sean Coombes and he likes to call himself P Diddy so straight away he loses points for being …

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 fell in love with James McAvoy the moment that I absorbed his performance in “The Last King of Scotland.” This young actor has the same grittiness of Ewan McGregor, but there is a sensitivity in his eyes that McGregor is lacking. McAvoy has an “elfin” …

I was just reading about the Minnesota Vikings and their trade of a 3rd round draft pick to acquire Randy Moss.
On the surface, this move really shouldn’t be overly surprising. After all, the Vikings are desperate for a playmaking receiver until Sidney Rice returns from injury and are only …

I see the New York Jets are going to try to replace injured Leon Washington with a familiar face in Justin Miller.
Miller, a reserve cornerback, is obviously not Washington’s replacement at running back on offense (I believe they have a guy who can do that already). But, he does …

Decades ago, an alluring newcomer to the world of soap operas made her mark on a show called One Life to Live. While her character was short term, almost before her last day, she was invited to start a new character on General Hospital. It’s a joy …

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’m not a big fan of Catherine Zeta Jones. I wish I could like her but something about her puts me off.
She’s very beautiful however and has an amazing smile yet in my mind she has never stood out as being either a fantastic actress or someone with …

Some readers may know him from a TV series called Day by Day. He played the …

A lot of people questioned the Kansas City Chiefs when they parted with former starting running back Larry Johnson late in the season and got nothing in return for him.
I can see why they did it now.
Johnson struggled while playing for the Chiefs this season. His replacement, Jamaal Charles, …

Toronto Raptors Budding superstar Chris Bosh has turned out to be a great investment for the Raptors. Drafted 5th overall in the star studded 03 draft which included the likes of Dwayne Wade, Carmelo Anthony and Lebron James. Bosh capitalizes opponents with his back to the basket moves, face …

I’m watching some news articles on various sports sites talking about quarterback Jay Cutler and what might be turning into a messy divorce from the Denver Broncos.
The talk simply is he doesn’t get along with the new coaching regime and is seeking a trade from the team. And, the …

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 …

Billy Ray Cyrus is a weird guy. Well in my opinion he started off as a weird guy, he sang a song which made him a superstar but the whole thing was bizarre. Since when do guys singing strong country songs become super stars? I have …

Annette Bening is one of those actresses most people either love or hate. The odd thing is that I can’t seem to pick which one that applies to me. There are movies where I feel her personal shtick is great for the purpose of the …

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 …

I really wouldn’t want to hate anyone at all, but Rebecca Loos is really getting on my nerves these days whenever I read about her anywhere at all. At first, she made the confession that she had slept or something with David Beckham, but as a Beckham fan, I …

Paris Hilton is a disgrace to rich people. I think she is utter trash and should be ashamed of her self. She comes from the rich Hilton family yet she acts worst than more ladies of the night. I do not think she is a good role model for young …

When the Packers surprised many by hiring Mike McCarthy as their head coach, I was one of the few people who defended the decision.
And, now that he is 15-9 as a coach with the Packers on pace to make the playoffs for the first time in a few years, …

Andrew McCarthy is known for his boyish looks and angelic smile. He is part of a group of young generation of actors in the 80’s called the Brat Pack. My favorite movies of him are Mannequin, St. Elmo’s Fire and Pretty in Pink. I was crushing him the first …

Giovanni Ribisi is one of my absolute favorite actors. With his elfin handsomeness, he evokes a serious vulnerability on camera. His facial expressions completely convey the emotion he’s trying to get across in his films. But what I really love is that despite …

While I wouldn’t call Tilda Swinton one of my favourites, I have to say I’m quite fond of her as an actress as well as some of the characters that she plays. Chances are that if you’re not a film buff, you’ve probably never really heard her name, since …

One of my biggest challenges, while preparing for my wedding, is looking for the best, if not perfect, make up artist in town. My first step is to read local wedding forums and check out the recommendations and experiences of other brides.
Luckily, there have been so many choices and …

First time I knew Jennifer Weiner is when I read her second book, ” In Her Shoes “, a smart chicklit about two sisters with totally different personality. Then, by knowing that she has another great chicklit, I begin to hunt it, which then becomes my most favorite …

Since 1993, I’ve been graced with the presence of Maurice Bernard playing Sonny Corinthos on “General Hospital”. I have a few favorite actors on the show, but I like to watch Maurice Benard because he adds so much flare and sex appeal to Sonny.
Unlike the other actors on “General …

Idris Elba is one of those male English actors who I always thought was amazingly striking and talented, even though I never actually knew his name. I would see him in so many movies and television shows until I eventually learned his name after he appeared in Marvel’s …

A couple years ago, the Green Bay Packers were hunting for their next head coach and ended up signing Mike McCarthy. I thought it was a fantastic move because I saw what he did as an offensive coordinator and thought he would be just the guy to help the …

Once again, during the off season, Detroit Lions quarterback Jon Kitna predicted double-digit wins for his team.
And, once again, it appears he was wrong with that prediction; and he’s a good reason for their current 0-2 record.
Once upon a time, Kitna was a quarterback with plenty of potential. And, …

One of the Hollywood’s actors I treasure a lot is Bruce Willis. Since the Die Hard movies I see him as a macho hero. Bruce is very passionate of what he does and I love his acting in all of the movies he had done. I love everything about …

Christian Kane is a very talented actor and musician. He is best known for his portrayal of Eliot Spencer in Leverage and Lindsey McDonald in Angel. He is also the lead singer in the country band Kane. Christian has become one of my most favorite actors a few years …

There has been so much controversy surrounding Britney Spears. I actually feel bad for her. I feel like it’s not her fault; the paparazzi is annoying and they put her in danger. Then they whine and yell when she rolls over their feet because they are too close to …

When I first became re-hooked on NASCAR a few years ago, one of the veteran drivers I quickly became aware of was Mark Martin. He was the veteran driver for Roush Racing, and everything I heard was enormously positive. He was a good racer, they said. …

Hey, I see the Packers re-signed their former starting running back Ahman Green. He’s not going to be the starter obviously. But, I think this was a great signing for the franchise.
Green is not the same player he was when he nearly broke the team record for career rushing …

Akon is a horrible rapper and with such stupid sounding songs such as lock up and so beautiful it is no wonder why I think his lyrics are wack and suck. His voice is also horrible and he sounds a little below average when it comes to his singing …

Sarah Brown is another one of those daytime actresses who overcame a nasty start and has ended up becoming a fan favorite. When she began on General Hospital in the mid-90’s, her character of Carly was a true, no-goodnick. She was just horrid, and fans truly hated …
