American Idol Beyoncé Celebrities Eighth World Wonder Entertainment legends Let's Get It On Marvin Gaye Motown Music purpose Sexual Healing Tammi Terrell The Voice Usher What's Going On

Why Marvin Gaye Was the Eighth World Wonder

Do musicians serve a purpose? Should their songs make you feel good? Are they suppose to make you dance?
The legendary Marvin Gaye gave his blood, sweat, and tears to Motown. Gaye’s songs still spark imagination and inquiry. Music gave him a platform to deliver and spread his peace loving message.
Every man must discover his calling. There’s a plan in order for everyone. Find your love and passion. Then, pursue your destiny.
Marvin Gaye was destined for greatness. The legend’s music strongly influences society and popular culture. ‘What’s Going On?’ remains relevant because Gaye understood the meaning of struggle and progress. Isn’t he an inspiration?

Marvin Gaye composed soulful lyrics. That’s why his music is timeless. The man was larger than life.
Imitation is the best form of flattery. Robin Thicke flatters the great Marvin Gaye. Gaye’s family has actually sued Thicke for copyright infringement. Thicke stole Marvin’s music, moves and mannerisms. 

Also, Usher credits Marvin Gaye. And if you listen to Beyoncé’s ballads more closely, you’ll hear an element of Marvin. From John Legend to John Mayer, music artists pay homage to his mastery.

Gaye’s smooth style and calm demeanor were natural. The charming musician created classics. Music lovers cherish the beloved musician’s albums. 
It is virtually impossible to watch a season of ‘American Idol’ or ‘The Voice’ without hearing a Marvin Gaye rendition. The entertainer went beyond the scope of music. He was a heavyweight.
Late at night, I might play ‘Sexual Healing’ or ‘Let’s Get It On.’ When I’m ready to see other people, I spin my ‘Heard it Through the Grapevine’ record. Of course I keep his duets with Tammi Terrell spinning in my head. You see Marvin Gaye was not a one hit wonder. Marvin Gaye was the Eighth World Wonder.

There wasn’t a mountain high enough, a valley low enough, or a river wide enough to keep him from fulfilling his purpose driven life.

Reese Witherspoon Vs. Cameron Diaz

BY: GURU JAY

Reese Witherspoon

Thespian Reese Witherspoon delivers terrific performances because she stretches her roles. There aren’t many actresses that possess Witherspoon’s talent level. Perpetrators imitate movie stars like Reese everyday to no avail.

The Louisiana slugger is a seasoned veteran who tackles obstacles like Richard Sherman. Sometimes Witherspoon stirs up trouble with her silver tongue mouth. TMZ released video footage of a drunken Reese talking back to police during a traffic stop.

Who decided to prop celebrities up on pedestals? All it takes is a single screw-up and their careers are severely damaged. Paparazzi cause so much destruction.

Luckily for Reese Witherspoon, bad publicity didn’t hurt her. Because the celebrity is a very important person she receives a pass. Who hasn’t seen a Witherspoon movie?

The ‘Gone Girl’ producer and ‘Legally Blonde’ actress appeared in her first film 25 years ago. She is worth at least $80 million. If you need a blockbuster, negotiate with Witherspoon.

Cameron Diaz

Cameron Diaz belongs in the best actress discussion. The adorable Diaz demonstrates massive appeal. Cameron’s down-to-earth nature and lighthearted persona are her best qualities.

Cameron’s doesn’t need validation from the Oscars. The celebrity is worth over $90 million. Who needs the Academy, when you’re on the Forbes list?

How can you talk about Diaz without acknowledging Tom Cruise? Movie stars Cameron and Cruise always shine brightest together. I love ‘Vanilla Sky’ largely because of Cameron’s involvement.

If you want an entertaining movie, visit Cameron’s IMDB profile for a complete list. Diaz doesn’t disappoint as far as entertainment. The creative performance artist paints masterpieces.

Aspiring celebrities should take note of Cameron’s style. She shows appreciation to fans. Finally, Cameron embraces her audience with virtual hugs and kisses.

Reese and Cameron have several similarities. They are both tremendously gifted celebrities. Witherspoon is the best actress. But Diaz is a better entertainer.

Driven Celebrities: Who Drives Money?

BY: GURU JAY


Celebrities reach millions and cause thousands of actions via television, the Internet, and social media. How effective are celebrity endorsements? They’re very effective because the entertainment industry strongly influences society and culture.


This blog post will discuss celebrity endorsements in the automotive industry.

Driven Celebrities


Driven celebrity Matthew McConaughey drives a Lincoln. Ever since making the ‘Lincoln Lawyer,’ movie, the pretend attorney has capitalized on his famous filmography. And he’s not the only celebrity making a fortune by endorsing automobiles.

With today’s technology, it’s inexcusable for celebrities to live in poverty. It saddens me to read about the misfortunes of entertainers, especially athletes. Driven celebrities Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, and George Foreman are anomalies.  


Why can’t more celebrities drive themselves like the aforementioned and following celebrities?

Ford gave country music pioneer Toby Keith a profitable package. Volvo smartly signed an endorsement deal with martial arts master Jean-Claude Van Damme. Moreover, Honda sealed a package with Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron.


If you’re an amateur Tennis player, you’ve probably noticed Maria Sharapova in some Land Rover advertisements. Also, professional athletes Peyton Manning, Tiger Woods, and Shaquille O’Neal have lucrative endorsement deals with Buick. Do you really believe Buicks are spacious enough for basketball centers?

Comedian Tim Allen lends his voice to Chevrolet commercials. Also, rappers Dr. Dre and Eminem represent Chrysler. It’s impossible to name every last celebrity car endorsement.


Many celebrities endorse cars to maintain their luxurious lifestyles. If you want a Malibu mansion, Beverly Hills condo, and Cape Cod yacht, you need a financier. So simply endorse a car.

actresses best actors Celebrities Entertainment Girls Hollywood Kaley Cuoco Kerry Washington Lena Dunham New Girl Scandal sitcoms Sofia Vergara The Big Bang Theory TV Zooey Deschanel

5-4-3-2-1: Top TV Actresses Countdown

BY: GURU JAY
5. Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting


Hot Hollywood starlet Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting starts the countdown. The ‘Wedding Ringer’ actress excels at comedy. Fortunately, she smartly decided to branch off into movies.

In accounting, they say diversify income streams. Kaley has done exactly that. Still, her plentiful talents obviously belong on television.
Cuoco could dominate TV like Jennifer Aniston. But, Sheldon Cooper overshadows the bright actress. Maybe, studio executives should create a spinoff starring Cuoco-Sweeting.

4. Lena Dunham

 

‘Girls’ creator Lena Dunham tries everything. The professional writer, actress, producer and director is diversified. The opinionated woman and unwavering feminist spreads her message.
3. Zooey Deschanel

 

‘New Girl’ lead actress Zooey Deschanel tickles many funny bones. Like Kaley, Zooey’s television work demands respect. Also, Deschanel commands attention from her 6 million plus Twitter followers.
2. Kerry Washington


Kerry Washington portrays powerful campaign consultant Olivia Pope on the sensational TV drama ‘Scandal.’ Political zealots understand why Washington’s second on the countdown.
1. Sofia Vergara

‘Modern Family’ matriarch Sofia Vergara receives a hefty salary. However, the Colombian celebrity is worth every penny. Sofia sacrificed several years; and now Vergara is the top TV actress. I am Guru Jay launching off into orbit in 5-4-3-2-1!

Black Canada Celebrities club music Cuba Cubans Drake entertainers Entertainment Hip Hop Hollywood Latino Miami Music Pitbull Puerto Rico rap battles rappers Toronto

Pitbull Vs. Drake RAP BATTLE

BY: GURU JAY


Pitbull raps fast. Drake switches up his pace. The Cuban rapper uses speed to try and knockout the Canadian. In the end, who wins the rap battle?
Prepare for the unexpected when dealing with Drake. Can you explain the magnitude of his creativity? His lyrics contain poisonous words.
Like an anaconda, Drake attacks with bad intentions. Don’t play poker with the financially ‘Successful’ singer. He goes all in every hand.
Toronto supports Drake 100 percent. Also, Latinos and the urban youth respect Pitbull. What club doesn’t play either star’s music?
I’ve always said the Miami rapper should marry Jennifer Lopez. They make moving music like seasoned salsa partners. It takes two to tango. And, JLO has Pitbull’s phone number.


Have you seen Drake’s Sprite commercial? While rapping in the studio, he takes a break to obey his thirst. His song ‘Over’ forever changed rap music’s sound.
Like Prince, Drake’s songs are sensational. There are too many major Drake hits to name them all. What is more, he stays potent.

If Usher’s the club’s DJ then Pitbull’s the promoter. It’s a thrilling experience when Pitbull grabs the mic. For a moment you enter into his world, and see the bright lights through his sunglasses.
You speak a little Spanish now too.

Pitbull is the ideal celebrity because he constantly celebrates. If you’re in a festive mood, listen to a Pitbull album. Rapping for the Cuban is a deadly art form. He cremates competition with his fiery words like a dragon.
Pitbull understands his role on the entertainment scene. Who comes close to Pitbull’s pedigree? Who is more energetic?
The entertainer plays verbal gymnastics with words. Wait for his dismount. In contrast, Drake’s got style, substance and rhythm.
Who wins the rap battle between Pitbull and Drake? Chime in your comments. I am Guru Jay launching off into orbit in 5-4-3-2-1!

Nicki Minaj Vs. Iggy Azalea RAP BATTLE

BY: GURU JAY
When Nicki Minaj started rapping, she couldn’t sell a record. Everyone viewed her as a gimmick and one trick pony. But after years of experimenting, Nicki Minaj found her place.
Rolling Stone adorned their cover with an enticing image of the outspoken rapper. Unfortunately, the magazine bumped off her buddy Drake for Philip Seymour Hoffman. Apparently, there isn’t any bad blood between the media and the Hip-Hop community anymore.
Iggy Azalea
In contrast, Iggy Azalea achieved instant recognition. Unlike Nicki, Iggy Azalea came out of the woodworks with Timberlands, an ax to grind, and a chainsaw. However, Nicki Minaj accused the Aussie celebrity of using a ghostwriter.
Iggy Azalea profusely denies Nicki Minaj’s allegations. Nicki Minaj is not jealous of Iggy’s success. However, she’s envious of the Australian beauty’s momentum.

Why Nicki Wins
Nicki Minaj wins the rap battle because no female rapper matches her accomplishments. In fact, many male Hip-Hop artists cannot hold a candlestick to Nicki Minaj’s birthday cake. The platinum singer was
the first and only rapper to judge American Idol.
The celebrity clearly learned how to make impactful music and market her brand. What a 180-degree turnaround! She’s vulgar, inflammatory, and hardcore.

Why Iggy Can’t Lose
In order to reach superstardom, Iggy Azalea needs time to develop and to maximize her full potential. Iggy’s already an influential Australian prodigy. The Black Widow rapper has a coldblooded heart and venomous veins.
Prima donna contests are like beauty pageants. Nicki must relinquish her crown to another princess. Iggy Azalea is a strong contender and a future champion.

Bradley accelerated his career ever since Hangover. Movie stars take on serious roles to catapult their careers. In the highly acclaimed American Sniperfilm, Cooper resurrects Clint Eastwood’s relevancy as a director.
American Sniper chronicles the struggles of Navy SEAL & Iraq War veteran Chris Kyle. Despite limited release, the motion picture received numerous awards from the American Film Institute and the National Board of Review.

The Limitless actor rejects typecasting. As a result, the tenacious celebrity has starred in a variety of blockbusters ranging from the comedic to the horrific. Regardless of your taste, Bradley Cooper mixes up the Jambalaya.

Cooper’s professionalism distinguishes him from run-of-the-mill actors. Bradley befriended George Clooney because of their strikingly similar skillsets. Although Clooney is more polished and experienced, Cooper is very versatile and inventive.
When given a complex assignment, Bradley overachieves. Bradley approaches theatre like William Shakespeare. Jennifer Lawrence earned an Oscar for Silver Linings Playbook because of Cooper’s brilliant performance.
Sometimes, Hollywood blurs the lines between vanity and insanity. Cooper turns hot and cool whenever necessary. The celebrity’s highly capable. Moreover, Bradley wears comfortable moccasins.
The Philadelphia brother keeps walking even after stumbling. Bradley Cooper perseveres, when his contemporaries decline. Bradley deserves a star on Hollywood Boulevard; and should receive an Oscar sometime this winter.
