One actress that had begun to fascinate me some time ago was the actress Kaley Cuoco who had played the part of Penny on “The Big Bang Theory”. This was because at the time, she seemed to come out of nowhere, in the sense that I didn’t really see …

For the first time in years, veteran driver Ken Schraeder doesn’t have a ride in 2009. This is a man who lives to race. He’s one of those people who just can’t get enough of the racing world. If he could, he’d race every night of …

I was reading, with great interest, that Bills defensive end Aaron Schobel is giving serious thought to retiring after this season.
If that is the case, it would be a terrible blow to the Bills because, when healthy, he is one of the better defensive ends in the league; his …

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 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 …

When I first saw the music video of I’m Like a Bird by Nelly Furtado it was when she was first starting to become popular. That song became a hit and everyone started wondering who Nelly Furtado was.

One of the actresses who I have to say that I never really like is the one named Heather Graham. Ever since I first saw her some time in the late 1990s or early 2000s in a movie I didn’t like her, and there has never been a time …

One of the child actors that I remember from my childhood was Elijah Wood, even though he was a couple years older than me. At the time I remember that he stood out because he was in a few movies that showed off his acting talent, despite his age, …

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, …

Prince William of Wales is a royal member of the family that I think have yet to create a niche for himself or perhaps to find a solid ground identity of his own. There are certainly lots of stories about him; both good and not so good. However, …

Death is a sunject in wrestling that comes up a lot in the real world. Early deaths to great wrestlers. Addictions leading to demise. Well the WWE last monday on RAW decided to stage death and that death was that of WWE chairman, Vince McMahon. Now I bet there …

Former Survivor contestant current cohost of The View…I like her. I watched her on Survivor when she was so sweet to stick to her loyalty with Roger. I now see her on The View every now and then and usually hear about the escalated debates (like the …

I wrote yesterday about Green Bay Packers defensive tackle Justin Harrell and whether or not he has a future with the team once they convert to a 3-4 scheme on defense. One guy I think will definitely benefit from the change is back up tackle Colin Cole.
Because he isn’t …

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 …

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. …

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 …

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 …

The first time I saw Katy Perry, I thought she’s just a beautiful woman. I actually thought she looks like Zooey Deschanel. I watched her music videos. Her songs are all great. Mostly, her songs don’t have really good language but I appreciate it. I think I can relate …

Julianne Moore remains one of my favourite A-list American actresses. This is because I like her acting, and because of that I am more likely to watch any movie, no matter the genre which she appears in. Despite that fact, I have liked many of her movies anyway since …

Perhaps most known for her role as mother of the supernatural heroine Buffy, from Buffy the Vampire Slayer; Kristine Sutherland forever proves herself a solid, competant and incredibly likeable actress.

Jack Nicholson might be aging, and not looking handsome and all that, but I still rate him a super 10 star and a very talented actor at that. I compare him to the likes of awesome actors like Sean Connery, Harrison Ford and etc.
He is such a …

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 …

Michael Jackson, one of the greatest talents on earth, has left behind a legacy of beautiful music and stunning dancing moves. He was indeed worthy of the title of King of Pop, which was unofficially bestowed upon him. It is undeniably a tragedy that this exceptional …

I see that the Packers ended up signing Jake Allen off their practice squad this week to add some depth after suffering some injuries at wide receiver. They apparently only had three that were healthy.
I both like and hate this move.
On one hand, Allen deserves a shot. The whole …

Timothy Dalton is one of those actors that stand out in many ways. First of all, he is a pleasure to look at: tall, stately, and handsome in a very manly way. No wonder he has played so many royalty and nobility parts. Secondly, he is very well trained …

Most folks know the name Andy Griffith, if only because of the successful television series that bore his name. It’s on somewhere, every day, and in many localities on more than one channel. Those not quite into the quaint family charm of The Andy Griffith Show probably …

Amy Adams in quite possibly one of the funniest actresses I’ve seen in a long time. She has a mixture of work on her resume, but the movies I have seen her in were comedies mostly and she was hilarious.
When I first saw Amy Adams, she was in …

I recall one particular race when …

The first time that I remember seeing the actress Ellen Page in anything was when I had seen her play the character Hayley in Hard Candy. I loved the movie so much and I loved her performance in it so much that I instantly hoped that she wouldn’t fade …

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 …

Race car driver Casey Mears is currently driving the 07 car for Richard Childress Racing. Before that, he drove the number 25 car for Hendrick Motorsports. I like Casey Mears. I like his attitude, his easy going style, and his determination. The man has had …

Kim is what some people might call the token white girl on this reality show. That might be an unfair assessment. But when you consider that the show is made up of black women, it’s a popular assumption to make. In any case, she has …

In my opinion, I think Maria Sharapova is a Russian miracle in Tennis. Good looking, tall body and sexy physical appearance combined with her good playing technique made her a perfect celebrity in Tennis world. She has a complete shot with tremendous energy when she hit. He can cover …

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 …

Amanda Plummer is one of the most underrated actresses in all of Hollywood history. Ok, this could be an exaggeration. But I really think that her ruddy looks, and gritty attitude make her the kind of actress that is terrific in the independent film market. …
