He is the most influential person in my life being my father. He has this strong personality that oftentimes misunderstood as arrogance. But in the real sense he is not, he simply speaks out his mind clearly to people on events and circumstances.

In 1983, Star Search burst onto the scene, and it was a show that I loved dearly. I immediately took a liking to one of the competitors in the Best Actor category — Scott Thompson Baker. He was tall, handsome, and had that all-American good boy look …

I am too young to remember Bret Michaels during the height of his popularity, but I am absolutely in love with him now. Not only has he grown and matured from his rock star and party animal lifestyle, but he also rejuvenated his career to having a successful …

Witty, informative and full of humor. Those three words perfectly describe a contemporary Filipino author that goes by the name of Bob Ong. I have never let one of his books be published without me reading it, that much of a fan I am. He writes in a style …

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 …

A talented actress who enjoyed much success over a long career, the late Nancy Marchand delivered one of her finest roles late in life as mob boss Tony’s hateful, utterly monstrous and very complex mother Livia Soprano.
Livia Soprano dominated the domestic side of Tony Soprano’s life across the first …

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 …

Annie Jean Brewer is someone that I met on Facebook. I started noticing that she was posting links to a blog so I decided to take a look. After reading a few of the posts I was hooked and following two of her blogs. The more I read the …

It’s hard to know where to start with a man like Sir Alex Ferguson. It is phenomenal to think that the once Rangers striker, who enjoyed success as manager with Aberdeen would go on to achieve so much with Manchester United and become the most admired and respected man …

I first became aware of Jim Carrey as an actor when I saw him in the comedy the mask. Although he was really great in that movie all his other movies seemed silly.
I wasn’t very interested in Jim Carrey as his movies seemed silly.
However the first time I …

I first noticed Adam Lambert on the top 12 finalists’ performance on American Idol season 8. In fact, after the 1st season I had never really watched American Idol seriously. I would only watch on and off when I had nothing else to do. I wasn’t …

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. …

The latest in a long line of talent show contestants, Stacy Solomon first hit our screens in 2009, on ITV’s latest hit reality singing contest, The X-Factor.
She quickly earnt favour in her first audition, with a lovely performance of Over the Rainbow. She quickly proved to be a real …

Lindsay Lohan has a very good look to her and her hair color rocks and is a very awesome color. Lindsay Lohan has some great features in her face such as her eyes because her eyes are also a nice color and she has some pretty cute cheekbones and …

Master P is probably one of the biggest and richest rap artists to ever hit the scene, and he also made a big name for himself. He also made a lot of money doing rap music. I think that he is one of the best money makers ever in rap. …

I can only imagine what this man was like when he was younger, but Simon Cowell just seems to have a licence to print money. It doesn’t matter what he does, the nation, even America seem enthralled by it and once again it makes him millions.
When he first burst …

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 …

The Ultimate warrior use to wrestle for the WWE and I never liked the guy and it is simple why and that is because he was just over hyped that had a gimmick that everybody fell for and he had energy but not the right kind of energy that helped …

Since the Green Bay Packers are making a transition from a 4-3 defense to a 3-4 defense, there has been a lot of talk about the different defensive personnel on the team and which ones will be able to make the transition and what their new roles might be.
Interesting …

Nicole Kidman is not a talented actress and I am just being honest when I say she only climbed the ranks due to her marriage with Tom Cruise. On screen I do not find that Nicole Kidman brings her characters to life and she does not make the movies …

Rowan Atkinson, or better known as Mr Bean to many, is etched on my mind as the man with the goldfish eyes, slack face and disgusting habits. He comes across as really cheap and rather annoying; however he has provided endless hours of inane entertainment. I …

Well, the Arizona Cardinals got one step closer to repeating their Super Bowl run from last season by signing defensive end Bertrand Berry.
OK, I should put this in perspective a bit. He’s not a guy who is going to be an all-pro for them. In fact, he hasn’t been …

Tommy Lee Jones is a serious actor. He’s one of those who takes his work about as serious as serious can be.
I remember when he began on One Life to Live, playing the, yes, serious role of Doctor Mark Toland. He was an evil one, and he …

The Green Bay Packers signed offensive lineman Duke Preston today. Some media are quick to describe this as a “minor” move. But, I think it was a decent one, even though it won’t grab a lot of headlines.
Preston isn’t a big name but he does have experience as a …

I grew up knowing Danny Thomas as an actor primarily. I saw him singing, too, but in my mind, he was an actor, and Marlo Thomas’ dad. Recently, I saw his two of his first movie roles and that got me thinking about him again. The …

Every once in a while, you’ll have an NFL player come along that is so good at what he does, you would pay money just to watch him play; even if he doesn’t play for your favorite team. The short list of guys included players like Brett Favre, Barry …

When I first heard the Minnesota Vikings were going to start Joe Webb at quarterback against the Chicago Bears last week, I was interested in seeing him play. And, I was disappointed to learn he wasn’t going to start after all. But, after Brett Favre got hurt, he had …

When the Packers started this new season, one of the biggest questions was whether or not they were going to be able to replace Mark Tauscher at right tackle on their offensive line. Ideally, I think they would have liked to bring Tauscher back but he’s hurt so there’s …

How does a skinny, pale, weasel faced actor go on to be a star? I have no idea, but he just is. James Woods has been in many, many films and I hope that I have not missed any. From Diggstown to Against All Odds …

I see today that the San Francisco 49ers fired Mike Singletary as their coach. The timing of the move was a bit surprising since it seems pointless to fire someone with just one week remaining in the season. But, it wasn’t anything that was unexpected.
When Singletary took over as …

I only know of Bar Refaeli as a swimsuit model and have seen a couple of her pictures in some swimsuit magazines. But lately, this model has been popular of late not due to her modeling stints, but more for her relationship with popular actor, Leonardo DiCaprio. Ok, …

When I watched the movie Clueless I didn’t think much of Brittany Murphy. Alicia Silverstone in that movie was a stand out and Brittany paled in comparison. She was mousy, chubby and and a bit annoying. But maybe that was the way the role she was …

I see Bill Cowher intends to return to coaching next season and may even be interested in the Buffalo Bills head coaching vacancy.
He does have a Super Bowl ring to his resume. But, I would question the wisdom behind hiring him.
Cowher was a great coach. But, he has a …

I saw the NFL injury report today and Denver Broncos quarterback Chris Simms is on it. Too bad for him because I think this means he lost out on his opportunity to challenge for the starting role on that team.
When he was with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Simms showed …

Jonathan Frakes is an actor probably best known for his role as Commander William T. Riker on Star Trek: The Next Generation, but I remember him first as the jerky brother in North and South, Books 1 and 2.
When I think of Jonathan Frakes, I also think of his …

Miss Avelina Manalo was my piano teacher. She was one of the greatest pianists and teachers in the Philippines. In her youth, she won scholarships to Europe and Russia and opened her own piano school. In her last years, she still taught as a professor at …

I honestly don’t watch college football as much as people think I do so, when the Packers drafted Matt Flynn in the seventh round of April’s draft, I’m a bit embarrassed to say I never heard of the quarterback.
So far, though, he does look like a steal.
I do want …

Johnny Depp is just so cool. I just saw his movie “Sweeny Todd” and I think he just made a way in breaking out of his pirate look in “The Pirates of the Carribean”. He is the best actor I’ve ever known. He can manage to play quite a …

I see the Green Bay Packers offered cornerback/kick returner Will Blackmon the low restricted free agent tender. That means he will play for a relatively low amount next season unless he finds another team that will make him an offer; giving the Packers a chance to match it or …

I saw the New York Giants claimed former Green Bay Packers safety Aaron Rouse this past week. I think it was a good move, given their injury concerns at that position. But, I’m not sure he’s going to be a guy who is going to make any sort of …

I first really remember seeing Taryn Manning in the hip-hop film, “8 Mile.” Let me just say that her general demeanor is extremely “trailer park.” I didn’t understand why until I read about her on Wikipedian and discovered that she indeed did live in a …

I cannot imagine what prompted John McCain to enlist Sarah Palin as his running mate for the 2008 election. First of all, he’s already catching flack for being the age he is, and having a medical record that isn’t so stellar. Furthermore, Sarah Palin just seems so …

This guy is so exceptionally handsome that no girl will ever want to reject him, I’m pretty sure of that. In fact he has been dating lots of model girlfriends before and one of the latest actress was Scarlett Johansson but that didn’t last too. Not wanting to …

I see the Miami Dolphins have hired Mike Nolan as their defensive coordinator. It didn’t take them long after he parted ways with the Denver Broncos after just one season.
I like this move. Nolan is coming to a team with a 3-4 defense already established. He didn’t have that …

When the Tennessee Titans drafted Vince Young 3rd overall a couple years ago, it was praised as a great move. Even then, I had my doubts. While NFL teams often drool over quarterbacks who have the ability to scare defenses with their feet, more often than not they turn …

Yiruma is a very famous pianist from Korea. He is known for making pieces of dramas and some of his rather popular pieces are ‘When the Love falls’ and ‘River flows in you’. His pieces always have odd titles but I think that’s because he’s Korean and not very …

In my experience of this soccer player over the past six or so years I have seen him play, he does not possess the same hunger as he had when he started out and it has affected his game very much.
In terms of potential, I think Ronaldo has what …

I really hated the fact that people are so shallow and love to call names whenever I come across forums or any bad vicious tabloids featuring the former lead singer of the boy-band LFO, Rich Cronin. He had split from his band years back and is now working freelance …
