Now this is one politician I just cannot understand. I seem to be one of very few people that he has an insane effect on, even though he is only the president of the Youth League of the governing political party of South Africa, the African National Congress (ANC).
My …

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 …

I think I would rather hear a million people scratching their fingernails across a blackboard than listen to Nancy Grace do another of her long, drawn-out rants. Nancy Grace’s half hour talk show airs on Headline news on weeknights and Sunday nights. Grace is a former prosecutor who …

Even if I don’t agree with someone’s political views, I am wiling to at least listen to them and even concede that they might be right on a point or two. This is called “open-mindedness”, something that the Fox News network’s Sean Hannity has apparently never heard of.
Hannity …

Peter Dinklage is one of those actors who I have come to have deep respect for over the past couple of years because of their performances in different roles. I understand that the name might not seem familiar to most people, especially since he’s practically been an unknown up …

When I was a little girl, I turned on the TV and caught a new comedy called, “The Second Hundred Years”. One of the co-stars of that show was Monte Markham, and I just thought he was the cat’s meow. He was a good looking man, in …

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 …

I was reading today about how Cleveland Browns owner Randy Lerner took the time to meet with some upset fans to talk about his team. That’s a great gesture considering the Browns are losing once again and the fan base is probably losing patience with him as an owner. …

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 …

When Gary Pallister signed for Manchester United from Middlesborough by Sir Alex Ferguson, the whole country had high hopes for this young central defender. Unfortunately the Manchester United side was still being rebuilt so whilst he had potential, he was being asked to slot in and make an immediate …

It’s been awhile since I’ve seen Rupert Everett acting in any movies, or perhaps I have missed it. His acting is very funny and I think he suits roles that are like ‘Jim Carrey’ types.
Rupert looks lanky, very American and all that, but he is purely English. …

Jim Carrey used to be listed in my book under the “Annoying” category. “He can’t act,” I thought, “so he over-acts.” His performance in Ace Ventura was, to me, barely watchable. However, two movies have changed my opinion about this actor and made me take him seriously. The movies …

There is something that is so different from performers and “personalities.” There seems to be a rip in the balance of mankind and “personalities” can do whatever they please, while performers have to watch their every step. Sometimes, however, I do think “personalities” can often times be performers as …

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 …

Ever since I saw Nicki Minaj in concert I was blown away and I have been listening to more of her songs as the months pass by. I always listened to her music, but truly got addicted to her when I saw her live. She is so crazy good …

I first saw John Travolta on screen when I was five years old. He was dancing his heart out on the movie Grease. Even then he was hard to dislike.
As an actor he is fantastic. Starring in roles as the good guy and also the villain, …

“Lindsay Lohan” is the name of a female american actress who began her career when she was still a child. She is only a few years older than me, and I can remember watching her in “Disney’s The Parent Trap” and loving her acting even at that age. Even though …

When it comes to controversial comedians, Frankie Boyle is certainly up there. He made his name on the comedy panel show Mock The Week as the man who was quite happy to push all barriers in order to make people laugh.
He was the man that was happy to say …

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 …

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 …

Kate Winslet is an actress I first noticed in the movie by Peter Jackson called Heavenly Creatures. The story of Heavenly Creatures was a powerful one and Kate did an excellent job in it. I actually didn’t think anything more of her until I saw the feature …

Val Venus was a wrestler in the WWE and too be honest the guy was hilarious because his persona was just funny. Val Venus came off as a ladies man but the way he talked when he was on camera was so funny because he talked in this low …

I was looking around at videos the other day on Youtube and I stumbled on one that really fascinated me. I was watching a video where they offered this homeless man a few bucks if he would talk to them in his golden voice. What I mean by …

For some time now, the Philadelphia Eagles offense has consisted of two things; a good quarterback and a dynamic running back. But, when it came to the passing game, there has not been a legitimate receiving threat to compliment that; unless you count what ultimately was a failed experiment …

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 …

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 …

The first time I saw Barbara Walters was actually on The View. She was in her sixties or seventies and she seemed like a nice lady. not being American I didn’t grow up knowing who Barbara Walters was.
>From the interviews I had seen of Barbara Walters she …

I’m happy she won again as governor of the province of Batangas, Philippines. I live in Manila, but Im originally from Batangas city. Up until this past election last May 10, 2010, I thought Governor Santos or as we fondly call her, Ate Vi, has not done anything visible …

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, …

I see Browns quarterback Brady Quinn is done for the rest of the year with a foot injury. It’s probably not something that really is going to have too much of an impact on the team, considering they aren’t exactly in playoff contention with just three wins. But, it …

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 …

One of Hollywood actresses with gorgeous hair would be Tamara Mello. She looks glamorous and with her nice tanned skin, it’s no wonder that she has managed to become an actress. I have watched her act in the movie ‘She’s All That’ as well and she appeared to …

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. …

John Boehner was selected as the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives after the Republicans won the majority. I believe that John Boehner is a great person and I believe he will be a great leader. He grew up in a middle class family and I …

I see the Jacksonville Jaguars released Fred Taylor this week. Because he is a big name, there’s a good chance the running back will draw a lot of interest as a free agent. But, I think any team that is honestly considering him as a featured back
Taylor is a …

Angelina Jolie is a great actress. While not everyone may like her I certainly do. Every movie I have seen her in she has blown me away. Not to mention she is beautiful. But what I like about her is that she’s not beautiful in …

Rob Mariano was a contestant on Survivor. He then went on to All Stars and Heroes Vs Villains. He was and always will be very fun to watch. Now while most people have a fondness for Boston Rob I tend to look at him more critically as …

Fergie is one of the most sensational singers there is and the best thing about her would have to be her voice. Her voice is so good and this girl can sing high notes like no tomorrow. I love how she can sing in a soft girly tone or …

On the one hand, without knowing the person personally, it is difficult to get a good impression. But, on the other hand, you can read his biography - the information published for free viewing. Which of these is true and which is not, you can’t tell.
A writer can remake …

I see the Oakland Raiders have acquired Miami Dolphins’ center Samson Satele in a trade for an undisclosed draft pick. It’s an interesting move for a Raiders team that once again seems to be using trades and free agency in an effort to improve their roster this off season.
I …

I first saw Rihanna on a music video and I loved the way she was singing her song. She was beautiful, dancing well and the song was really catchy. At the time I didn’t really know who she was and she hadn’t blown up into a huge …

If you’re a fan of Japanese animation like myself, there’s a chance that you’ve probably heard of Hayao Miyazaki. He’s actually a manga artist, animator, film director screenwriter and producer that is responsible for creating masterpieces like “Spirited Away”, “Howl’s Moving Castle”, “Princess Mononoke” and “Kiki’s Delivery Service”. Those …

Most of you might have heard about Arnold Schwarzenegger, he is most popularly known for his big muscles. He has won Mr. World title that is for the best body five times. He is the only person who has done it that many times, after his successful stint …

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 …

Alright, for those who still do not know that John Mayer, the sexy and handsome male crooner is dating drop-dead gorgeous Jennifer Aniston, do take note yeah. And the pair has been dating for quite some time now, as sources have confirmed.
Who is John Mayer? I used …

Robert Pattinson went from the average struggling actor to a common household name in a blink of an eye —“ literally. I constantly come across his hardly impressive tale of sheer luck that shot him to superstardom. Apparently Pattinson was about to be evicted from his humble abode right …

OK, so the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have made two major moves in the course of the week. First they fired their head coach Jon Gruden and promoted Raheem Morris to that job. Now they apparently have hired long-time defensive assistant Jim Bates to be the defensive coordinator.
I’m undecided on …

There was a horrible guy that looked like shrek and his name is Felipe Urbina! He is a horrible fat jerk lowlife player. When he was dating me I had no idea he was dating another girl and he even had her pregnant! As soon as we broke …

A very sweet faced young lady, Miley Cyrus sure has a lot on her plate right now. Her estimated fortune is targeted at around 3.5 million. WOW! I say to that. If you guys do not know who she is, well she’s the crooning star of …
