Years ago, when I was in my early 20s, I became completely infatuated with a young heartthrob from Florida by the name of Johnny Depp. Back then, my fascination for this sexy teen idol was generally due to his dreamy eyes and not so much for his acting skills. …

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 …

George Clooney is one of today’s biggest and most successful movie stars. He comes from good stock, his father being journalist Nick Clooney and his aunt, the highly successful actress/singer Rosemary Clooney. I’ve seen Clooney on shows from the start of his career.

We don’t hear a whole lot about Ben Murphy anymore, but in the 70’s and 80’s he was quite popular. I imagine that most people remember this actor for his role in Alias Smith and Jones, where he co-starred as Kid Curry alongside Pete Duel. Both men …

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 …

When I think of the actress Meryl Streep, I think of old and glamorous Hollywood. She has this effortless beauty that–in my opinion–has not changed since she did the movie “Kramer vs. Kramer”. Of all the actresses in Hollywood, I think she is in high ranking as far as …

The first time I heard a song by rapper Jay Z I liked it. Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t love it but I liked it. It was catchy and sounded good. But that was it. It didn’t inspire me to become a fan and …

I see the San Diego Chargers signed coach Norv Turner to a contract extension. It’s an interesting move but I’m not sure it’s a popular move among the fans.
For the record, I like Turner. I think he has a great offensive mind and he was a fantastic fit for …

You know, watching part of Brett Favre’s interview on HBO last night really got me thinking about what this guy has meant to the NFL over the years. How many other quarterbacks, including the likes of Joe Montana and Dan Marino have been able to hold the media hostage …

The other evening I was watching a show from the late 50’s of What’s My Line, and Tony Randall was the mystery guest. Watching him just reminded me of the huge talent that he was.
Tony Randall had a tremendous knack for comedy. He had timing and style. …

There has been countless rumors on the so called relationship between Rihanna and Chris Brown. Seriously, I don’t mind so much, because these 2 are great singers and it’s so evident in their songs; well, most of their songs, that is.
I started to fall in love with them when …

Unlike most of the people who like Sarah Jessica Parker, I began watching her in film long before Sex and The City franchise was even thought about. I think it’s amazing that she has been able to create such a successful career for herself.
The first movie I ever saw …

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 …

Charlie Sheen is an actor on a number of movies and recently on a hit television series called Two and a Half Men.

Firstly i don’t consider him to be handsome, more on the plain side. …

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 …

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 …

Jack Nicholson should be on everyone’s favorite actor’s list because he is so charismatic and has that cool factor that will never fade. I can’t really recall the first time I saw him appear in a movie, however, I do remember my high school humanities teacher showing us his …

I like Jim Carrey. I think he is a natural comedian, a funny man in and out of cameras. He does have a tendency to be exaggerated in his attempts to make you laugh, though, and when that happens, …

A woman worthy of admiration is the great actress/singer, Debbie Reynolds. She’s had a terrific career in show business, and she’s one gutsy lady to boot.
Just a few highlights off the top of my head that I often think about when the name Debbie Reynolds is finished.
First, I …

When quarterback Daunte Culpepper confirmed he turned down a 1-year, $1 million offer from the Green Bay Packers last April to be their back up quarterback, the first thing I said to myself was “there’s a player who desperately needs an agent.”
Culpepper, who represents himself, obviously has lost touch …

Kory Rogers or Y Guy is the man who created the revenue sharing website Yuwie. The site shares ad revenue with it’s users. The site is somewhat successful. I think that Kory Rogers was very smart to be the first guy to make an idea like this. The site is …

Jennifer Anniston is one of those actresses who nearly everyone knows about because she has appeared in a lot of popular shows and movies over the years and because of her relationship with the Hollywood heartthrob, Brad Pitt. She has even been voted one of Hollywood’s sexiest women time …

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 …

Granted, the win came against the Packers, …

Rory Cellan-Jones is the technology editor for the BBC, and has been involved in tech related journalism for as many years as I can remember now, certainly since well back into the 1990s. I quite like him and the way he writes, and I often make a habit of …

I have to say from what I’ve seen about Perez Hilton in the media I really like the guy.
First of all he’s an entrepreneur. I’m not sure what he was doing before he started his blog but the career he has now, which is a pretty amazing career …

As lead characters go, Allison Dubois is an interesting one. Overworked wife and mother, complete with psychic ability and a prestigious place on the team of a police team; she’s certainly got more skills than your average type.
While the acting of Patricia Arquette won’t start any fires, she plays …

I have known this Doctor with the Golden Heart for almost fifteen (15)years now and ever since, she has not changed.
I met her way back years ago in the school where I worked and she was the school physician. We were …

I didn’t know in the beginning that David Blaine is an Egyptian. Well, now I know and he certainly has the brooding looks of a magician. Latest from this man that certainly never cease to amaze me is for holding his breath the longest and breaking his record …

Sometimes a performer sort of sneaks up on you. First you see them, but don’t think anything about them. Then you start to go, ‘He’s familiar’. Then it’s, ‘Oh, that’s the guy from …’, and finally, ‘Hey, he’s on! Nice job.’ This is how it …

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 …
