Put Aubrey Plaza on the To Do List This Weekend!

What are you doing this weekend? Do you want to have some fun? Read this!

Put the 2013 The To Do List actor on the 2023 To Do List! I’m referring to the Hollywood star Aubrey Plaza. She is hosting NBC’s Saturday Night Live on January 21, 2023. Here at Guru Jay Entertainment, we’re going to see to it that she shines as bright as possible. I write about celebrities because I like celebrating. Aubrey Plaza is someone who excites the audience. You come to expect great things from this entertainer. I love her work. She works hard and it shows. Some may even say she’s a little showoff, but I disagree. 

So, where did this celebrity come from? Well, we know she was a regular on Parks and Recreation. But did you also know she was an intern on Saturday Night Live in 2005? I found that out via watching the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. The point is everybody starts from somewhere. Where you go is up to factors: some beyond your control and others within. I like Plaza’s touch to productions. Have you seen the star perform in Fx’s Legion? 

If you enjoy comedy and Elizabeth Olsen, I encourage you to watch Ingrid Goes West. It’s an intriguing plot with dynamic characters and a nice setting. Also, if you want to see some of Plaza’s newer material, queue Black Bear and Emily the Criminal. Lastly, everybody is talking about the actress in the White Lotus. 

Plus, the comedic actor’s body of work is full of successes. If she had a gym franchise, it would be worth over a billion dollars. I’m looking forward to seeing her SNL performance. It’s long overdue.

Let’s have some fun this weekend and watch SNL hosted by Aubrey Plaza. LET AUBREY PLAZA SHINE.

The Last of Us Is More Than a Game Now: It’s a TV Hit!

By: Guru Jay

The first episode of HBO’s the Last of Us aired two days ago. Could a pilot episode launch any better than this one? If you haven’t seen it yet, or you want to know additional details, keep reading for more. In my opinion, the series couldn’t have debuted at a more perfect time. It’s 2023 and a whole lot is happening in the world. Based on a popular video game, HBO’s new TV show is relevant is edgy. In “When You’re Lost in the Darkness,” the episode goes deep into the zombies/ fungus themes.

It begins in 1968, then goes into 2003 (where all hell breaks loose in Texas), finally it comes around to Boston 2023. The actors do a fine job conveying the mission statement. From the lead character to the extras, everyone plays a vital role in this masterpiece. How does the series compare to the video game? Do you want to play the game now that you’ve seen the TV show? If you like television, the Last of Us is the TV show for you. This is not your typical Hollywood story. I believe HBO was surprised by the pilot’s success. I am looking forward to watching more episodes. Do you want to read a recap of some of the season? Is this your favorite new TV program?

The main question that is on everybody’s mind is how did we get here? The Last of Us is at a point of no return. The post-apocalyptic plot is full of twists and turns. What do you think is the best scene? How does this compare to The Walking Dead? Like the Walking Dead had, I see the Last of Us as having enormous potential. Right now, stars are being born on the TV show. All the hard efforts are noticed. Putting together something of such high quality takes blood, sweat, and tears. In summary, the Last of Us is more than a game now. It’s a TV hit!

Netflix’s Ginny & Georgia Season 2 Commentary: Good Stuff

By: Guru Jay

Netflix Logo in Public Domain

Right now, the number one TV show on Netflix is Ginny & Georgia. Have you seen it? If not, you don’t know what you’re missing out on. It’s good stuff. Currently, Ginny & Georgia is in the second season. If you haven’t already seen the first season already, you might want to watch a few episodes before seeing the new ones. Netflix released the show on January 5. And now, 10 days later, everybody is talking about the success of Ginny & Georgia. It is great television. TV shows come and go. Let’s hope this one stays the course. For those who haven’t seen it, I’ll describe the show for you. First, there’s Antonia Gentry as Ginny. Her real name is Virginia in the Netflix series. Then, there’s Georgia played by Brianne Howey. They are both complex characters and the story is not so simple. Ginny is Georgia’s young daughter. It’s an interesting story because her mother is white, and her father is black. But her younger brother is white as well. So, this keeps unwrapping layers as you dig deeper.

I don’t want to give away too much of the plot, so I’ll write only about my impressions of the characters. If you love actors performing at the top of their crafts, then this TV show will have your heart pulsating. There are so many characters to like. Besides the two main characters, I like Zion Miller, Joe, Abby, Norah, Ellen Baker, Marcus Baker, and Mayor Paul Randolph. It is an amazing sight how the actors gel on screen. It is like the 1950s all over again with milk and chocolate chip cookies. But this time, it’s 2023 and things are turned upside down for the most part. Is the chemistry we see on film fake? Or is the television screen telling the truth? Whatever the case, Ginny & Georgia season two has become the number one TV show on Netflix this weekend. And what’s more, its motion pictures are set firmly in minds and hearts around the globe.

K-Pop’s BLACKPINK Is Taking Over the World

 By: Guru Jay

In August 2016, BLACKPINK was created out of stardust. Guru Jay Entertainment turned two years old. When stars are born, it’s a complicated process. Just ask Lady Gaga and Destiny’s Child. Have you heard of the Beyoncé formation? You see, there were four music stars born on that illustrious summer night. They were and are more than singers and dancers. They are celebrities. They are Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa. The question is are you excited about K-Pop’s takeover? Are you listening to the good vibrations in today’s music? K-Pop’s BLACKPINK is taking over the world beginning in Bangkok, Thailand.

Like Destiny’s Child, BLACKPINK appeals to a large fanbase. Can’t you see how much their hard work has paid off? Every music video comes close to perfection. YG Entertainment formed a four-member girl group with everlasting star power. Listen! This group has gone beyond K-Pop and risen to a momentous occasion and only time will tell how far their music glory will travel. Presently, I’m a long way from Asia. Right now, BLACKPINK is on the BORN PINK World Tour Asia. With all that’s going on: the album which debuted September 16, 2022, the Coachella festival headliner news, everything couldn’t be more perfect.

Have you heard about all the planets aligning in December? And NASA discovered the first exoplanet just yesterday with the James Webb telescope. What is written in the stars? The truth is BLACKPINK makes my palms sweaty and gives my gut butterflies. Each one of them is gorgeous. As Guru Jay, I am going to do my part and let the stars shine. 

Check out BLACKPINK on YouTube Music, Spotify, and all that other good stuff. Also, consider buying the BORN PINK album. It’s in two languages: Korean and English. And if you like my content, please share and comment. Thanks a lot. You can follow me on Twitter @IamGuruJay. Peace and love!

Golden Globe Awards 2023 Recap: From the Red Carpet to the Live Show with Peace and Love!

By: Guru Jay

This year the red carpet was rolled out for the Hollywood stars at the Golden Globes for the 80th time. #LARain was trending on Twitter which meant the weather was stormy. But the dark clouds dissipated, and everyone had a good time. As the countdown began, we saw star after star shine while they were being interviewed by Laverne Cox and her sidekick Loni Love. It was an arrival like no other. It was what we’ve been waiting for. Of course, we had a little bit of controversy. Comedian Jarrod Carmichael hosted the live show and the first thing out his mouth was “I’m only the host because I’m Black.” I couldn’t chuckle at everything he mentioned. But, in truth I watched the Golden Globes to celebrate and acknowledge the film and television actors who made 2022 worth its weight in gold. @IamGuruJay I liked, tweeted, and retweeted until I felt I spread enough of my share of peace and love. To start the show, Jennifer Hudson presented the Best Supporting Actor and Actress Golden Globe Award. As you may know by now, Ke Huy Quan won the first award of the night for his portrayal in All at Once Movie. Plus, you may know Angela Bassett won for her role in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. 

And so, the night started off with two well-deserved wins. Perhaps Jennifer Coolidge stole the show with her win for White Lotus. Also, Austin Butler, who hosted Saturday Night Live, won for his performance in Elvis. But you didn’t come to my blog for a list of winners. You can get that anywhere. You came here for my spin on things. I’ll give you what you want. The stars owned the night. Despite all that’s going on in the world, this was a time for peace and love. Despite the controversy Hollywood united. We need a new party called Unity. It is interesting what a day makes. From the red carpet to the live show, the 2023 Golden Globes was special. I’m thankful for another day on God’s green earth. Although I didn’t win a Golden Globe, you’re my gold. Peace and Love!

Launching into the Future with Bastille

Photo by: Wikimedia Commons

Let’s make a band. Okay, well, let’s talk about bands. What is it that gets you going? 

Music makes my world go round. Listening to tracks and making jams are two things I love to do. You have to start somewhere.

Do you have a favorite musician or band? Aren’t bands underrated, especially those that stick together through thick and thin? Bands are the cornerstones that hold up the pillars of music. Now, everybody can’t do a jam session like Bastille. However, something about brotherhood, sisterhood, and unity is more profound than a soundtrack.

Bastille does more than make music and perform at concerts. Their latest album title explains it all. Give Me the Future is about making a way and putting on a performance called life. Living through 2022, you could say the future is now. Can we make any more technological advancements and progress?

Originating out of London, the Bastille band launched in 2010. They haven’t looked back since debuting on top. Is Dan Smith the ideal lead vocalist or what? Also, Kyle Simmons is a great keyboardist. Plus, we have Will Farquarson playing the guitar like Jimi Hendrix. And to top it off, Chris Wood fuels the band with energy on drums. Let’s call them the Fantastic Four.

The Fantastic Four has four studio albums: Bad Blood, Wild World, Doom Days, and Give Me the Future. So what do you think is their best album? I believe Bad Blood puts them in a good space. Still, they started with an impressive debut but have fine-tuned their skills. So Give Me the Future is the best album, in my opinion. 

I follow TMZ on Twitter and saw a tweet about BTS they did recently. BTS might take a break, and TMZ thinks the band has not had enough time to mature. After twelve years in the music game, Bastille is mature like fine wine.

Top Five Game Shows: Jeopardy!, Wheel of Fortune, And More

Let’s have some fun. Take a look at the top five game shows. What if we could play them all in one day? You could watch them all if you wanted.

Have you ever played on a game show? How would winning massive amounts of money feel to you? Could you handle the shock of an influx of cash?

Jeopardy! is first on our list. The trivia game show deserves the number one spot. People dream of becoming a Jeopardy! Champion. That’s why contestants devote tremendous time and effort to the show. Plus, it’s fun playing along at home.

Wheel of Fortune is second on our list. The word game show, hosted by Pat Sajak, earns this spot. Wheel of Fortune has lasted almost 40 seasons with Sajak. We can play along with this game show at home too.

Is comedian Steve Harvey the ideal host of Family Feud or what? That show takes the third slot on the list. We’re considering only a handful of shows, and Family Feud could be a number one answer. Don’t you love it when the players play sudden death? Often whoever has the best reflexes wins.

I grew up on The Price Is Right. It is an iconic TV show that everybody can enjoy. Whose Line Is It Anyway? Drew Carey was the ideal host of The Price Is Right. His personality and chemistry are a winning formula. If you like a fun show with tradition, then this game show is yours to watch.

Let’s Make a Deal wraps up our list. This game show hosted by Wayne Brady has a storied past. Is Wayne Brady the best or what? He is a multi-talented musician, actor, and comedian. Brady brings the X factor element to the game show.

Here is a recap of the top five game shows.

  1. Jeopardy!
  2. Wheel of Fortune 
  3. Family Feud
  4. The Price Is Right
