Since 1993, I’ve been graced with the presence of Maurice Bernard playing Sonny Corinthos on “General Hospital”. I have a few favorite actors on the show, but I like to watch Maurice Benard because he adds so much flare and sex appeal to Sonny.
Unlike the other actors on “General …

The first time I saw Beyonce Knowles was in a music video by her band called “No, No.No.”. At the time I didn’t really notice her. Sure she was a pretty girl in her twenties who could sing but there were plenty more of those on television. …

When I first saw Jenni Garth she was on Beverly hills 90210 as Kelly Taylor a spoiled girl from Beverly Hills who had trouble with men and many other things.
I have to say back then I didn’t like Jenni Garth. Like every other 90210 fan at the time …

For me, this is one of the most underrated players currently plying his trade in the European leagues, but Diego Forlan’s showing at the recent World Cup, followed by his subsequent winning of the golden ball prize indicates that the powers that be are finally seeing the light and …

When Diego Forlan signed for Manchester United, it was out of the blue. He got on the plane to come and sign for Middlesborough and Manchester United trumped them at the last minute. Nobody really knew too much about this player other than that he had started to build …

Sometimes it’s hard to know what you have until you don’t have it anymore. The late Robert Urich was a very strong television actor, who brought entertainment and joy to fans for decades until cancer claimed his life. We were used to seeing him and maybe didn’t …

I read today that the Atlanta Falcons are looking to trade the rights to suspended (and imprisoned) quarterback Michael Vick; even though he hasn’t even been officially re-instated by the NFL.
First of all, good move by the Falcons. But, I’m curious if there really is a team out there …

Actor—¦dancer—¦comedian—¦Donald O’Connor had many skills. He was born into a vaudeville family and participated in many of the dangerous stunts onstage. During his childhood, he lost two close family members to these dangerous acts. However, he continued performing, and eventually found his way into Hollywood.
I first noticed O’Connor in …

Doogie Howser M.D. was a TV show with a twist. The lead character was a doctor, which isn’t unusual, except that Doogie was a 14-year old teenager. For four seasons, we saw Doogie deal with all kinds of trials and tribulations, and for acceptance. These unique …

Lara Jay Hequet is the founder of Viva la Vie, a holistic nutrition company, some sort. And speaking of Lara Jay Hequet, she is actually someone whom I admire very much for her courage to battle cancer that was at and advanced stage when she first discovered and she …

The first time I saw Cat Deeley was a couple of years ago when she became the host of So You Think You Can Dance. The amazing things about reality shows like that one is that they assume we know who these females are. I’d never heard …

I didn’t know a lot about Tiger Woods before the scandal broke out. I knew he was a pro golfer who everyone seemed to think was brilliant and he was kind of goofy looking but that’s it.
Then came the day he got into a car accident and all …

There’s no doubt that Helen Hunt is a talented actress. She has the Oscar to show for it.

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. …

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 …

Cute and his hair are blonde, and cute. That is my first reaction when I have to see his video on Myx. He looks like a tomboy, more look like a younger version of Ellen DeGeneres. Yes, I really thought she is a girl because he looks like one …

J.D. Drew is a baseball player who bats for the Boston Red Sox baseball team and when it comes to entertaining fans and hitting balls and winning ball games I like to think that this guy does his fair bit in that stuff. This guy is entertaining to watch …

I was just reading an article relating to Buccaneers running back Cadillac Williams, regarding him being close to his goal of playing in all 16 NFL games this season for his team.
That article pretty much summarizes Williams’ career. He is a former first round draft pick who has a …

My earliest memory of Lady Gaga was on TMZ a few years ago, and she had blonde Mickey Mouse ears as a hairdo. There was also talk of a so-called feud between her and Heidi Montag over a song or some craziness to that extent. As a result, Heidi …

Jonathon Rhys Meyers is an actor. I have no idea what his nationality is but I think it is English. He has been in a few movies but I really began to notice him in the Showtime hit series the Tudors.
Jonathon in this show does quite a …

He has played more than 100 Test matches, and over 170 one day internationals in a twelve year …

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 …

Today I’m going to take a minute or two to talk about Jeremy Thompson, the soon to be retired linebacker for the Green Bay Packers.
Thompson only played in the league for a few years and isn’t a household name so most people probably don’t even know who he is. …

If you have seen the film “Superbad” then you will be more than familiar with the actor, Jonah Hill. This tubby young man is attractive in his own way. But what is more fetching about him is his penchant for coming alive on film, and gracing …

When the Tampa Bay Buccaneers started their rookie quarterback Josh Freeman this past weekend, a lot of people thought it meant the team would continue to lose as their new starter went through some growing pains.
Turns out they should have started him sooner.
Granted, the win came against the Packers, …

I only just found out who Miguel was last year when I started watching the cable television series, “The Voice”, on which he gave some of the contestants musical advice. I always heard people talk about him and refer to him, but was too lazy to find out who …

Richard Long was a terrific actor who left this Earth much too young. I first saw him as Jarrod Barkley on The Big Valley. He was the oldest brother, the level-headed lawyer who sometimes had to leave logic behind to side with emotion. He was perfect …

I knew nothing of the English actor Tom Hiddleston until he caught my attention playing the role of the super villain Loki in the movie Thor, and then in the movie Avengers. He was so good that I personally thought that he stole the show both times, and since …

I see the Denver Broncos signed Ty Law; or at least agreed to terms with him considering he still needs to pass a physical.
This is an interesting signing because I’m really not sure how much of an impact the veteran cornerback will have on the team.
I can’t say it’s …

With all the talk about Brett Favre and his possible chain of heart when it comes to retirement, someone asked me to weigh in. So, I’m going to.
My opinion of Brett Favre is this. He should stay retired.
As a Favre fan for as long as I can remember, a …

On first glance I find Chelsea handler annoying. I can’t imagine anyone that doesn’t, she’s obnoxious, boorish and I don’t really find her very funny.
On second glance I see a woman who deserves some respect. Some , I’m not saying a lot because I still think she’s …

I will admit it, for a while there, I had lost some faith in Packers’ running back Ryan Grant. He had a great rookie season, an OK second season and seemed to have disappeared for a good chunk of this year.
But, once again, he is showing us why the …

People make their marks on our lives for crazy reasons sometimes. I never met Pete Duel, but I’ll certainly never forget him. It was crazy, but in a crazy way, he ended up being a part of some ongoing fun between my best friend and I; in …

Mr. John, who teaches me Mathematics in X Standard. He is my all time favourite teacher. I complete my school days in M.L.W.A.Hr.Sec.School, Madurai. At that time there are more than 50 teachers in my school. But he is my favourite person. Still he …

I was reading just now that Kansas City Chiefs’ running back Larry Johnson has been told to stay home after he made homophobic slurs and trashed his coaching staff on Twitter.

I rarely criticize Green Bay Packers players because it is my favorite team and I would give anything to be in their shoes. But, Johnny Jolly is proving to be a player who just doesn’t get it sometimes.
Jolly, who is already facing potential prison time for drug charges, essentially …

His show talked about many serious issues and on the show he presented himself as a family …

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.

So, it sounds like Dan Reeves is trying to return to the NFL after being gone for a few years. It’s definitely an interesting concept for some team looking for veteran advice. But, I would be cautious about what capacity I would bring him in at.
When Reeves was fired …

I’ve been watching reports coming out of Philadelphia with some interest because it’ll be interesting to see if the team really does enter the 2010 season with Donovan McNabb as their starter.
Unlike a lot of fans, I’m not a McNabb basher. I think he is an underrated player playing …

So to see them both being a bit of a …

When it comes to footballers that fans like to hate, then Phil Neville must be close to the top of many peoples lists. Growing up in Manchester with brother Gary, he was part of the group of young talented footballers, like David Beckham and Paul Scholes, that broke into …
