John Fahey was one of the very best things to happen to American music. I’m convinced of this idea. He was a treasure in his early career with folk and blues; “American Primitive” as it was coined by god knows who. Fahey would tune his guitar …

Tom Westman is a competitor on Survivor. He was a fan favorite in his season and now he is back for Heroes Vs Villains. Mye xperience of him has only been on Heroes Vs Villains so my perception is based on him in this season.
At first glance …

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 …

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 …

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 …

When I returned to watching NASCAR after decades away, one of the new drivers was Carl Edwards. He quickly captured my interest, and I’m still following this talented young man as he progresses in his racing career.
When Carl won his first race at this level, he surprised everyone …

I was reading today that Dunta Robinson is looking to renegotiate with the Houston Texans in an effort to get a long term deal with the team that used a franchise tag on him this season.
I think the Texans might want to be cautious about that.
Robinson is a decent …

The rapper known as Old Dirty Bastard or OBD was one of the best artists of our time. He made many song with the group Wu Tang Clan, but he also did some great solo songs. I think his song with Mariah Carey is pretty cool. He also had a …

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’m not sure why the Packers made a move to sign Jarrett Bush back to their team this off season. But, I’m convinced it wasn’t the smartest move they made.
Bush is an OK special teams player (though he draws way too many penalties). But, when it comes to playing …

For me, Whoopi Goldberg will always be Oda Mae Brown in Ghost. She was dazzling in that performance, and I’m laughing just thinking about it. I love, too, that Whoopi is so open about how it was Patrick Swayze who insisted she be cast in the colorful …

Michael Jackson in my opinion has one of the saddest stories to tell. I watched him on television since I was a child and like the rest of the world I was captivated by his charisma. Michael has something special and it made you want to keep …

A couple seasons ago, the Green Bay Packers used a second round draft pick on receiver Greg Jennings. He immediately started showing them something in terms of ability his rookie season; even though he wasn’t immediately a starter for the team.
Now that he’s a starter opposite Donald Driver, he …

I first saw the English actor Alun Armstrong in the theatrical performance of Nicholas Nickleby (based on a novel by Charles Dickens) where he played Mr. Squeers, and played remarkably well. Squeers, a cruel one-eyed schoolmaster, is a rather unpleasant, if not repulsive, character, and yet Mr. Armstrong somehow …

Early this morning, I was watching an episode of the classic TV show, The Twilight Zone, and I was reminded of a wonderful woman — Emily McLaughlin. This science fiction series was one of the few non-soap opera appearances that Emily ever did, so I imagine that most …

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 …

As I sit here watching an episode of Bonanza, I am once again reminded of how tragic it is that ego sometimes interferes with life. Ego is all to often a representation of thinking you’re superior and of believing that you are above something. Such is the …

Born Paris Whitney Hilton on February 17, 1981 in New York City. She is a Model, Actress, Author, Recording Artist, Socialite and Fashion Designer. She is also known as being famous for no real reason. LOL!
I cannot understand the reason why people are so into this media pop star …

50 cent is a rapper who I am somewhat a fan of but he does have some serious downfalls to him. The first thing I do not like about this guy is that most of his newer songs are too soft and his songs now sound all the same. …

She is the best of my best friends. Her boyfriend, name Alim, lived in Surabaya. We have the same habits. The same characteristics and the same zodiac. She’s melancholic and easy to cry. But she has a LOUD laugh’ And she’s the only one in the world who could …

In professional wrestling, many would argue that the biggest name of all time is Hulk Hogan. The fact will always remain that if you stopped one hundred people in the street and asked them to name a wrestler, there is little doubt that the most popular response would be …

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 …

David cook is the new american idol. And indeed this title is really suitable for him. Although american idol is a famous reality show in the whole world. But I’m not really fond of watching this show maybe because of the time schedule. Since I’m a music …

Tupac Shakur is a rapper, a poet, a writer and an entertainer that died before his time. I was listening to his music since I was a kid and I very much enjoyed it for a majority of reasons.
Firstly the man was handsome and charismatic. Listening to …

I think that by the time I saw the actress Calista Flockhart in the television show “Ally McBeal” I already thoguht of her as a familiar face since she had been in several movies I had seen before. I also remember her being in an issue of People magazine …

The Packers seem to be ready to start Mark Tauscher at right tackle beginning this week. It’ll be interesting to see if that happens and whether or not it will improve some of the pass protection on that offensive line.
A lot of people wanted to see Tauscher starting weeks …

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 …

Trish Stratus is a very beautiful fitness model. She is also a wrestler in the WWE. She has an amazing body that I enjoy looking at every time I see her on TV. She is also a great wrestler. I enjoy watching her wrestler other female wrestlers on WWE. She …

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 …

Several years ago, I would watch Kurt Warner as he played for the St. Louis Rams and remember not liking him too much. Part of that was the fact he had one his second league MVP title and I was afraid he would tie Brett Favre with three. The …

I had to laugh today when I read Oakland Raiders wide receiver Javon Walker is looking to be released from the team because he feels he isn’t getting enough playing time.
Honestly, when is he going to realize he isn’t that great of a receiver?
Walker was overrated when he was …

When I first heard of Kim Kardashian I knew she was a friend of Paris Hilton. I also knew she was very beautiful, of Armenian descent and had a sex tape with rapper Ray J.
I wasn’t sure what to think at first, the thought she was a fame …

I was reading this morning that the Washington Redskins just signed punter Josh Bidwell to a contract. I know they have been in need of a veteran punter but I just can’t understand this signing.
Bidwell was a decent punter, when he was younger. But, I remember him with the …

The gorgeous and versatile Kelly Lynch is a great actress. Now I am not talking about the acting abilities of a Meryl Streep type actress, but Kelly Lynch is very, very good for the parts I have seen her cast in. I loved her in Drugstore Cowboy and most …

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 …

One author who I have always treasured as one to make me suspenseful and craving for more even after the book is over is Stephen King. While other’s might find him disturbing from the strange and frightful stories that he whips up for his fans, I find him to …

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 …

The first time I had ever heard of Robert Pattinson was when I saw the shorts for Twilight and I was very surprised to see him in that role. To me he looked kind of silly with his hair fluffed up and his skin a deathly pale. …

David Caruso is definitely not a candidate for Prince Charming or a knight on a white horse. At first glance, he is ugly! With those almost white eyebrows, small eyes and a rough face, he does not convey much charm or appeal at first sight. …

Ellen is by far one of my favorite comedians of all time. I love her talk show and watch it everyday. I hope she continues to do her talk show for years to come. I think she is a good hearted, funny, down to earth person. I enjoy watching …

The first time I heard of the comedian Dane Cook was when I saw him doing standup a couple years ago on the cable television channel Comedy Central. I was changing the channel when I spotted him, and what made me leave it there to watch the rest of …

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 …

People may know Charlie Hunnam from the popular show, “Sons of Anarchy” or “SOA” as fans affectionately refer to it; I hate to admit that I’m guilty of the same reason for knowing who Charlie Hunnam is.
I first came across Charlie two seasons ago when he began playing the …

The one reason I never trust NFL teams with an aging quarterback over the age of 32 is because of how quickly a passer can go from being a star to a guy who should be riding the bench at best. Jake Delhomme is one of those guys who …

I’ve watched Ice Road Truckers from the beginning. The show focuses on the truckers who bravely drive semi-trucks, oftentimes with heavy, wide, and toxic loads across dangerous passes and ice roads. These ice roads are over the ocean and are very perilous. One wrong move, and …

Until the Judge Judy television show, I had never heard of Judge Judith Sheindlin, and I’m sure I’m not alone. Now, though, the entire country knows her.
Judge Judith Sheindlin is an interesting person to listen to as respects the American legal system, which isn’t the most intriguing subject …

Miley Cyrus is one of the current teen sensations. She’s everywhere, thanks to the enormous success of her Hannah Montana TV series over on the Disney Channel. I must confess that I’ve only seen a handful of scenes of the show, so can’t really judge it.
I am …

I won’t spend my time reviewing Brett Favre today only to trash him. Some fans might do that because they are bitter over what happened between him and the Green Bay Packers. But, I’m not one of those people. I’m saddened to see him leave Green Bay but still …

Stephen King is probably one of the most prolific writers (in my opinion), and quite versatile when it comes to writing for various genres; even though he is notorious for writing horror and suspense, he has ventured outside of those genres and with great success.
I first became aware of …
