7 Lucky Ways Celebrities Make Money

Familiar faces flash on the screen. Your TV, laptop, tablet and smartphone have loads of images, videos, and data on them. You probably follow your favorite celebrities on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, MySpace and Instagram.

Once you’re famous, you’re always famous for somebody. Forget what Shia Labeouf said. There’s no escaping the spotlight after crossing centerstage.

Social media and reality TV have allowed us an inside look into Pop Culture. Celebrities are born on YouTube. You couldn’t pick a more perfect time than now to be famous.

Entertainers are living the good life. Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus and Lindsay Lohan are Livin’ La Vida Loca. Click here to find out how to party like a rock star.

The job of a celebrity is to simply celebrate. Celebrities make a fortune just by making an appearance. Paris Hilton is a prime example of a socialite who exploits her infamy.

There are several creative ways celebrities earn a living. I want to show you the microeconomics behind Hollywood. I am an accountant after all.

There is power in numbers. That’s why stars such as Shia Labeouf work hard to get attention. That’s also why fans are so important.

More fans = more money. Social media sites like Twitter give celebrities a platform to engage with followers. I recommend this story from Wet Paint. How Much Do Celebrities Get Paid To Tweet

1.Twitter

Sending Tweets is one creative way celebrities make money. At an early age, I realized the power of words. This is why I blog. Twitter is simply a short form of writing. They call it “micro-blogging.”

Can you believe they founded the site 8 years ago? Today Twitter is worth multi-billions. It’s hard to believe, that in such a short span of time, the social media site could conquer the public.

I just recently joined Twitter; and, I already recognize its potential. Twitter allows you to build meaningful relationships. Visit Adage for more information.

2. Photos

Why do you think Kim Kardashian keeps uploading pics of her derrière on Instagram? Answer: because her booty has a pricetag. Celebrities make mad money from photos. You can hear them laughing as they go to the bank.

Photos are a major part of social media. Facebook needs a plethora of images in order to exist. Don’t we love reading faces? Isn’t Facebook a book of faces?

When a celebrity is strapped for cash, all he has to do is snap a photo. Then, send it to TMZ. Now, wait for the check to arrive in the mail.

3. Videos

What would you do to extend your 15 minutes of fame? Would you act a fool on camera? In the near future, I can see sites like Vine gaining some steam.

It wouldn’t surprise if Google via YouTube buys the emerging video social media site. Videos have an enormous impact on society. Think about how TMZ shells out massive cash for exclusive footage.

Musicians make money in a number of ways. Royalties from videos is a new way artists get paid. Read here for info about VEVO.

4. Endorsements

When I think of lucrative endorsement deals, athletes come to mind. Basketball is on everybody’s brain. Players are in the limelight while the NBA Playoffs winds down.

Kevin Durant was launched to space in a Sprint commercial. The helpful Blake Griffin endorses Kia. Who can forget Chris Paul’s State Farm twins’ saga? And, you’ll see a LeBron James Samsung ad on occasion.

You’re in luck, if you are a musician too. Pepsi pounces on the opportunity to sign superstars. Watch a classic example here.

5. Parties

Hollywood stars own the night. Can you picture receiving a paycheck for partying? In the words of the Jackson 5, it’s easy as A.B.C.!

Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, Fergie and Blake Lively have made money by making appearances at parties. The amount of money they make seems absurd. But, big businesses can afford to spend big money.

Kim Kardashian made 500,000 dollars as an escort overseas. This has become the new normal. In the Reality TV world we live in, we expect extravagant expenses.

6. Reality TV

Reality TV has a major influence on us in real ways. You can literally become a celebrity overnight. All you have to do is, start some sort of an altercation with somebody.

Why do we care so much about Snooki? How much money does Duck Dynasty generate? Who is Khloe’s new boyfriend?

We wouldn’t ask those questions ten years ago. We were keeping up with the Joneses. Now, we keep up with the Kardashians.

7.Instagram

First on my list is Twitter. Number 7 on my list is Instagram for similar reasons. The app is a relatively new phenomenon that has taken the world by storm.

I joined Instagram about one month ago. I’m thankful for each one of my followers. Please follow my account here.

Although the site hasn’t been around for even 5 years, it is extremely influential. It’s another hot way to interact with your fans. Check out Beyonce’s account.

They say technology eliminates jobs. Celebrities defy logic and use technology to their advantage. Twitter is music to their ears.

You only have one life to live, so live your life to the fullest. We can learn a lot from celebrities. Most of them don’t have a care in the world.

Increase your odds by lining your ducks in a row. Seneca said, “luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.” So brace yourself for a wild ride. Please wear your helmets.

Celebrity Rag Riches- The Clothing Line Empires of Jessica Simpson, Diddy, Kimora Lee Simmons, Mary Kate And Ashley Olsen

Clothes are a basic need. Fashion is a want or desire. Luxury is a gift.

My motto is… to each his own. Pick your poison. If you want to look nice, by all means dress for success

Fashion is poisonous. Walk into a fashionista’s closet; and, you’ll swear it was a warehouse. You’ll find belts, boots, scarfs, and anything fashionable.

Aim to be the best dressed. Mark Twain said: “Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society.” So invest in a nice wardrobe.

Your apparel says a lot about you. You are what you wear. Do you wear tacky clothes? Are you wearing mismatched shoes?

We all have a sister who splurges on the fancy things. She owns 100 pairs of shoes. And, she is part owner of Zappos. Shoes are the main suspects.

The question is how can someone spend so much money on luxurious brands. In my article, I hope to answer this question and more. I’ll show you how celebrities are culprits.

Celebrities Most Wanted List

The following celebrities are most wanted for making a killing off of their clothing lines.

#10 Nicole Richie

Nicole Richie has a good name. In marketing, you learn the value of brand name recognition. Her brand is strong because of the celebrity of her father and The Simple Lifereality show.

TV is a powerful platform. Even if you don’t own a physical television, you probably have watched TV shows on the Internet. House of Harlow 1960 is a baby Nicole has nurtured since 2010.

#9 Rachel Zoe

Rachel Zoe sets the stage for celebrity stylists. If you’re a player in the industry, then Rachel is on your radar. The Rachel Zoe Project helps build and expand her brand.

The fashion designer launched her clothing line in 2011. She collected $20 million in sales. Her husband Roger Berman is CEO of the company. Do you see a trend?

#8 Justin Timberlake

Justin Timberlake made the list as expected. He is a savvy businessman. And, I’ve heard he makes pretty good music too.

Timberlake and Trace Ayala built a $50 million brand named William Rast. Over the years, it has gained significant media attention. I imagine the clothing line will take off in the near future.

#7 Gwen Stefani

Photo By: jelizen

Gwen Stefani’s L.A.M.B. reached sales of $90 million. Gwen is a huge success due to her music. Music is her main platform.

Musicians succeed in fashion, because they are artistic. Walk into a boutique and you will encounter an eccentric owner. Creativity is required in this business.

#6 Victoria Beckham

Spice girl and wife of David, Victoria Beckham is worth $95 million in revenue. Her true calling is fashion. Beckham has global reach and international appeal.

She is a really good singer. What is more, Beckham is an even better businesswoman. She has magnetic charm.

#5 Diddy

Sean John “Diddy” Combs is a commercial success. He built a clothing line empire with his smooth business skills. His revenue from clothes exceeds $250 million.

The urban community embraces Diddy’s brand Sean John without a doubt. Diddy has diversified and that helps maintain his cash flow. Forbes loves him…do you?

#4 Jay-Z

Nowadays, Jay-Z is known as Beyoncé’s husband. Did you know his Rocawear brand earns $700 million per year? Curious George says that isn’t peanuts!

Jay-Z proudly displays his celebrity rag riches. His prolific rap career benefits his clothing line empire. Forbes loves him too.

#3 Jessica Simpson

Photo By: John VanderHaagen

The former reality TV star makes more money with her clothing line than with her music. The Jessica Simpson Collection has racked in over $750 million of revenue. She has big boots to fill.

There’s a catch to Jessica Simpson’s clothing line success. Simpson is absent from country music. That’s why Taylor Swift is bigger than Moses.

#2 Kimora Lee Simmons

Public Domain

The model Kimora Lee Simmons made over $800 million in sales as a fashion designer. This level of success in the fashion industry is extremely rare. She struts beauty on the runway. And she has brains built for business at the headquarters.

The reality star has 3 clothing lines: KLS, Kouture by Kimora and Fabulosity. What’s her secret? How does she manage to maintain?

#1 Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen

Photo By: David Shankbone

The Olsen twins hold down the number 1 spot. They reached $1 billion in revenue. Ashley and Mary-Kate have turned their celebrity status 360 degrees. They’re most famous for portraying Michelle on the family TV sitcom Full House.

Celebrities secretly envy the Olsen family. Their clothing line empire is the cream of the crop. They have built the toughest celebrity fashion brand.

The fashion industry generates $1.2 trillion. Read here for the latest statistics. LVMH’s annual revenue surpasses $37 billion.

Also, Christian Dior and Hermès are among the iconic international luxury brands. Celebrity clothing lines contribute a great deal to the profitable apparel industry. If you have a good idea, there’s no need to worry about going out of business. You’re always in high demand.

Honorable Mentions

The following celebrities have made a fortune from their fashion lines: Selena Gomez, Sienna Miller, Kate Moss, Beyoncé, Nicky Hilton, 50 Cent, Nelly, Kanye West and Pharrell Williams.

These days, ‘rags to riches’ is rare. ‘Riches to rags’ is the norm. But still, where there is a will there is a way.

I recommend reading How to Start a Clothing Line. I suggest you become a celebrity first, if you want to improve your chances. It will be 100 times easier to break into the industry this way.

As you can see, many celebrities make more money in the fashion industry than in entertainment. I call this phenomenon Celebrity Rag Riches.

Who’s Watching? Daytime Talk Vs. Late Night TV Shows

Post author By iamgurujay
Post date May 14, 2014

BY: GURU JAY

Ellen DeGeneres dominates Day Time Talk Show TV. She is in a league of her own. Hey Ellen, save the last dance for me.

I love Ellen DeGeneres for her style and substance. She has good intentions. I get the feeling Ellen genuinely cares about her audience.

She is committed to her craft. I imagine her crew has nothing negative to say toward her. Ellen’s appeal reminds me of Oprah.

What is more, Hollywood respects her. Why else would they beg her to host the Oscars again? Ellen has had a long and prosperous career.

Really, she shows no signs of slowing down. She has a monopoly on her time slot. At the end of the day, I think she is so successful because she is down-to-earth.

Humility is her middle name. To be on the air more than a decade is a tremendous achievement. What is extraordinary with Ellen is her sheer brilliance at connecting to the audience.

She stays out of trouble. So she doesn’t have P.R. problems. Everybody wants to be on the Ellen show.

They should change the show’s name to Everybody Loves Ellen. She deserves an in-depth article on The Guru Jay Blog.Day Time Talk TV is nothing without Ellen.

Ellen blows the competition out the water like ducks. Who can challenge the Daytime Talk Show host? She stands alone in the crowd as a cougar among domestic cats.

If you want to survive you need a big meow. Also, you shouldn’t waste your time barking up the wrong tree. Whose talk show do you like?

Do you enjoy the cooking shows? The perky Rachael Ray reminds me of a younger Martha Stewart. She’s a sight to look at and can cook her ass off.

I like Rachael because she is properly positioned as an elite chef. Comparing her show to the Chew is no contest. First of all, like Ellen, Rachael is the captain of her ship. She doesn’t need an entourage to surround her in the kitchen.

Don’t twist my words. I’m not knocking the Chew. But, it’s unfair to put the Chew cast and Rachael Ray in the same weight class.

Here’s why: they’re playing two different sports. Hear me out. Tennis, golf and boxing are individual sports, whereas: football, basketball and baseball are team sports.

As a proud American, I admire rugged individualism. Still, variety is great.

Does anyone know what happened to Emeril Lagasse? The Big “Bam” Theory replaced him.

I digress. The point is we want competition because it forces us to do better…to be the best.

Dr. Phil is America’s psychiatrist. He dominates his market share. Of course, Oprah introduced him to the world 16 years ago. She played a major role in discovering Dr. Oz as well.

Here is an interesting article from ABC News. The story shows how Oprah made stars such as: Suze Orman, Nate Berkus and Iyanla Vanzant famous. This is more proof Oprah is a huge influencer inside and outside of Hollywood.

I can’t gloss over Maury and Jerry Springer These shows live on the cutting edge. They cater to an underserved population. They have lasted longer than expected.

My mom tells me the real reason is because they have easy jobs. People eat it up for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Check out these shocking ratings.

Entertainment is Funny Show Business. Crazy antics make mad money. Who’s watching?

It seems Day Time Talk TV has gone to the dogs. Late Night television is way more interesting. It’s like the Wild West.

Arsenio Hall just got thrown into the mix. His show has been renewed for a second season. I’m sure he’s the worst nightmare of ABC and NBC.

Also, it appears Chelsea Lately is ending after seven seasons. Although I disagree with Chelsea Handler, I do feel we need a woman in this time slot.

Here’s an idea. Why not let Ellen DeGeneres produce a late show? She’s a good judge of talent. And, she is well connected.

Giving Ellen executive control is a win-win proposition. But, be warned! Late night television is a dangerous game.

I used to be a big fan of Conan O’Brien. I thought Jay Leno shanked him. I was wrong.

After watching O’Brien’s documentary, I now see that his big ego got in the way. He didn’t want to compromise. I was surprised to see how it all developed.

Furthermore, NBC is fully responsible for the Tonight Show travesty between Jay Leno and Conan O’Brien. They played the two against each other like pawns.

Late night television hosts have to swim with sharks. Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon and Stephen Colbert will square off starting next year. David Letterman will go out on top.

Photo By: Hey Paul

Letterman chose a perfect time to retire. Colbert will come in and instantly cause problems for the two Jimmies. Late night ratings will spiral out of control.

I predict a steady decline of Jimmy Kimmel Live (JKL). Jimmy K. is good but he needs to be great. Here’s my rationale…

The Tonight Show with Fallon is only growing. JKL is an old institution. Plus, the skinny Jimmy appeals to a much younger audience.

The arrival of Colbert will hurt the fat Jimmy more than the skinny. If I stand correct, the Tonight Show will beat the Late Show. And, the Late Show will beat the “Live” Show.

By the way, JKL is not a live event at all. Jimmy Kimmel Live is deceiving. If you ask me, it is false advertising.

We love live events. That’s why sports are so successful on TV. That’s why Larry King lasted 100 years on CNN.

So I suggest ABC change their late night show name. I still believe in Jimmy Kimmel’s star power. Ever since The Man Show he has always been associated with greatness.

Why am I mad? Well, what if Saturday Night Live taped their show on Monday morning? Now, do you understand?

JKL must adapt and reinvent in order to stay on top of the food chain. Act now before it’s too late. Otherwise, Jimmy Fallon and Stephen Colbert will be the new Coke and Pepsi.

In the words of the Most Interesting Man in the World, stay thirsty my friends.

Funny Show Business: Crazy Antics Make Mad Money

Post author By iamgurujay
Post date May 11, 2014

BY: GURU JAY

Mike Myers cemented his legacy on the Hollywood Walk of Fame with Austin Powers. The movie, a parody loosely based on James Bond, is Funny Show Business. As you can see, from the gif I created, the comedy is filled with crazy antics.

The bottom line is that crazy antics make mad money. Funny Show Business is a double entendre. I combined funny and show business in order to derive at the new term.

Funny Show Business is a trend in the entertainment world. Silly songs and goofy movies have become the norm. This standard is good and bad for a number of reasons.

Funny Show Business is good because it is profitable. It is bad because it is often pointless. Shouldn’t movies and music have a message?

I support comedy as long as there is a point. If it is pointless, then I am a little weary of it. You should have a method to your madness.

Movies and music should be artistic. Actors and musicians are supposed to be artists. Today’s entertainers need to reevaluate their roles in the business.

Rap music is a big target for a good reason. How many rap songs do a disservice? Sometimes, I am not impressed. A caveman can do some of these raps.

But you can’t throw an entire genre under the bus. Although there are bad raps, there are also good raps. Many fine rappers exploit their talents through their sense of humors.

Thrift Shop by Macklemorecatapulted the rapper to new heights. I am not mad at Macklemore one bit. He saw an opportunity and he capitalized on it.

Big capital is behind Funny Show Business. Corporations such as: Apple, Vevo, and Disney have invested heavily in funny business. Follow the money and see where it leads you.

Nowadays, you need to make fun because life is anything but funny. Society has gone insane. You never know what might happen in everyday situations.

We desire to hear silly songs and watch goofy movies. If sex sells, so does crazy antics.

We want the shock factor.

I feel as long as the formula is working, there’s no need for a change. You give the people what they want. Sometimes what we ask for is not best for us. Still, we get it anyway.

You can make millions by creating something about nothing. It’ s a shame that this is the status quo. But in the reality TV world we live in, what else is expected?

In my mind, Hot Tub Time Machine is ludicrous. I could hardly wait to watch the movie. The reason is simple. I love hot tubs. Plus, time traveling intrigues me.

The Let’s Get It Started scene is sensational. Craig Robinson is a comedic genius. He is clearly an underrated comedian and actor.

I ‘heart’ the Hot Tub Time Machine. It’s hilarious. What’s more, as an 80’s baby, I can identify with the plot.

Corporations demand more from their employees. As a result, people are overworked and stressed out. They have every right to complain.

It’s not supposed to be this way. That’s why we turn to entertainment after a long and stressful day. Sometimes the best message is to relax and spend time with your family.

Funny Show Business is lucrative because it fills a hole. We need to take a break. We need to make the most of our free time.

I created my blog as a leisure activity. I don’t intend to solve the world’s problems. I only want to provide informative entertainment.

Here is a place you can laugh out loud. I want this to be a therapeutic time. I want to be your pharmacist.

Comedy is a pharmacy if laughter is the best medicine. So go ahead and fill your prescription.

Jimmy Fallon is behind the counter helping me fill up medicine bottles. Don’t you know comediansmake the best pharmacists? Jokes are like pills. A standup special is a checkup.

You can’t take anything too serious. Don’t forget why YouTube was invented. It was invented for you to tube

Gangnam Style will eclipse 2 billion YouTube views very soon. Why is it the most popular video on the Internet? Because it is silly and ridiculous…

It is the most watched video on the Internet for a good reason. You might not know Korean, but you know Gangnam Style is muy divertido (very fun). After watching the clip, WTF is my first thought.

OMG, I call it catchy comedy. It grows on you. Humor is acquired like coffee and beer.

My favorite Will Ferrell movie is Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. I am a big fan of Saturday Night Live, so naturally I like the Funny or Diecreator. But, I had hated his movies until recently.

I thought the best part of Anchor Man was when it ended. However, after watching his movies again, I acquired a taste for them. I put the Ballad of Ricky Bobby right up there with The Hangover.

I feel the same way about Gangnam Style. I love words and numbers. But I only jump on bandwagons when I know where they’re headed.

Funny Show Business is the future of entertainment. There are fads; and, then there are trends. In my estimation, the funny business is trending upwards.

Come jump on the bandwagon. We’re in for a wild ride. I’m going to drive you nuts. Laugh hard or don’t laugh at all.

Spill the Coffee Beans: Why Coffee is Popular in Movies

Post author By iamgurujay
Post date May 7, 2014

BY: GURU JAY

Time to spill the beans. Coffee beans, that is. If you’re not drinking coffee now, go brew a pot.

Coffee is universally recognized as an equalizer. We drink mojo for a variety of reasons. Furthermore, we drink it in different ways.

I think the way you drink it says a lot about you. My grandmother drank her coffee straight black. She was a strong woman.

I drink my coffee with three creams and three sugars. I am a balanced person. How do you take yours?

There is a firm connection between coffee and movies.

Pulp Fiction is arguably the most successful R-rated film in cinema history. The coffee scene is memorable. Watch the short clip below:

I had just turned 18, the first time I met my friend Carmel Macchiato. Right after class, I went into a café adjacent to the library. At the time, I never had a cup of coffee because I was terrified it might stunt my growth.

But, my new buddies convinced me to try it. Peer pressure is a bitch. I order a Carmel Macchiato and since then I’ve never been the same.

I have made at least 1,000 pots; and, I am not even 30 yet. I’ve grinded the beans and spilled the beans. It is my favorite beverage.

My freshman and sophomore years, I was addicted to specialty coffees. I remember the first time I drunk a cold mocha from Starbucks. My taste buds were thrilled.

I’d pick up a coffee before or after class. I recall the first time my girlfriend and me ordered expressos. I thought to myself “what the hell did I just drink?”

I can’t live without two things, coffee and movies. Have you noticed how coffee is commonly refer to in films? Why is coffee so popular in movies?

First, movies are pivotal in defining pop-culture. The stories on the silver screen are not much different from real life. In fact, some of the best films are based on a true story.

Did you know approximately, 85 percent of American adults drink coffee? According to U.S.A. Today, the beverage is a $30 billion dollar industry. It’s growing!

So, it is easy to see why coffee is common in movies. It is a staple food in society. Wherever you go on this green planet, you’ll find coffee lovers.

It’s not just the U.S. It’s the world that is obsessed with the beverage. I believe it’s best to settle disputes over coffee.

People truly love it. This scene from the Green Hornet builds my case. Hot java symbolizes strength, boldness and rejuvenation.

The Green Hornetis hilarious. I highly recommend watching the movie. It is a blend of Batman and Borat.

Coffee is a hot topic in Hollywood. There are thousands of scenes about the drink. Movie makers love mojo, because moviegoers love mojo.

If nobody drank java, it wouldn’t be placed in films. You don’t like what you don’t see. And, you don’t see what you don’t like. Just like in all other businesses, customers have the final say.

We take for granted our morning mojo. The reason is because coffee is relatively cheap. You can afford to spend a couple of dollars on the drink.

Where is a good place to have a first date? Why not go to the café? The atmosphere is ideal.

Plus you won’t spend an arm and a leg at the coffee shop. It is designed to be a pleasant experience. If you’re lucky, you’ll get a joyful cup with a sweet smile.

You can also go out to the movies. I recommend seeing a horror flick. It’s a scientific fact you’ll both have a good time.

At some point, everyone wants to be an actor. You may not have an acting bone in your body, but that doesn’t stop you from fantasizing. Let your imagination run wild.

I imagine starring opposite of Brad Pitt. I’m trying to steal Scarlett Johansson from Brad. The director Quentin Tarratino yells cut…

But I am still in character. The next thing I know, filming is finished; and Scarlet and me are now engaged. Lady Gaga is singing at our wedding in Hawaii. We live happilly ever after.

I imagine your fantasy is starring opposite of Angelina Jolie. You’re trying to steal Johnny Depp from Angelina. Director Martin Scorsese yells cut…

But you’re still in character. The next thing you know, it’s a wrap. Then, you and Johnny start honeymooning in Paris.

In the meantime, we’ll happily drink our coffee and watch our movies. We’re blessed to be able to imagine stuff. It keeps life interesting.

Live life to the fullest because it’s too short. Take the Bucket List for instance. Here is a film about two characters dying to live.

It has a good message. You should see it if you haven’t already.
Of course, there are a couple of coffee scenes.

In fact, it’s a coffee joke that unites Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. You see coffee is the beverage of life.

Movies have such a huge impact on our lives. Hollywood helps bring families together. We love to take the family to the cinema on the weekends.

In many ways, it is a tradition. Going to the movies is one way we tend to spend time with our families. It never gets old.

The next time you see a film, look for a coffee scene. Nine times out of ten, you’ll find it. So, the question is why?

The answer is simple. Coffee is universally accepted as the best social beverage. Yes, it is better than beer.

When you’re lacking energy you don’t need alcohol. Try a cup of espresso. It is sure to help rejuvenate your body, soul and mind.

Sometimes in life you have to grind. So go ahead and spill the coffee beans.

If kids say the darnedest things, so do celebs. Have you ever thought about getting inside a celebrity’s head? What do they actually think about their fans?

You’ll be surprised to learn their innermost feelings. Celebrities all agree on one thing. That is, living the celebrity lifestyle has some drawbacks.

While reading these quotes, you’ll see how fame can pigeonhole people. You may start feeling sorry for our famous friends. Please don’t sympathize.

Although the good life is bad at times, very few Hollywood stars would trade in their celebrity. Despite what they tell you, they love every bit of their stardom. What’s not to love?

As soon as you wake up, the paparazzi are prepared to film your whole day. They’ll even take pictures of the food you eat. It’s all in a day’s work.

We’re about to scramble celebrity thoughts like a chef scrambles eggs on Monday morning. Let’s look at the top twenty celebrity quotes. These are my favorites that I want to share with you.

Celebrity Quotes: Stay tuned for videos at the end…

Jude Law and Jonah Hill express their similar distastes. All Jude wants to do is act; but he can’t be an actor without being a celebrity. Certain things come with the territory. Jonah believes it is both a blessing and a curse.

Jared Leto just wants to be regular and he is…Celebrities are not much different from ordinary people. They experience the same situations everyone else does.

Danica Patrick and Julia Roberts express their need for privacy. Because they are high profile, the media is knocking on their doors. Considering Roberts is highly compensated, you can see why she is watched all over the world. The same goes for Danica.

As a celebrity, you are constantly on the radar. They all want to know your whereabouts. If you go missing from the spotlight, something is automatically wrong.

The celebrity lifestyle has several perks. It is a lot of fun. But on the flip side, your life is open season.

Are you ready for deconstructive criticism? Celebrity lifestyles are designed to be materialistic. As a result, many celebrities lose the fame and fortune.

I encourage you to save and invest your money like the 50 richest celebrities. Believe me, you can make a lot from a little. Allow compound interest to work in your favor.

When you signed up to be a star, did you know you’d be more scrutinized than a politician? In fact, politicians have more privacy than you. To be frank, the public restroom is more private.

In spite of everything, you aren’t going back to your 9 to 5 job. “Once you’re a celebrity, you’re a celebrity all the way. From your first cigarette to your last dying day.” Your life is a lot like the West Side Story, full of drama.

Denzel Washington expresses the same emotions as Danica Patrick. They want privacy. Frankly, they deserve private time.

Celebrities make mistakes like everyone. The difference is that their missteps are magnified in the media. What is more, celebrities cannot afford political incorrectness. There are two sides to a story and a celebrity better be on the right side.

Robert Redford and Jessica Alba illustrate how Hollywood affects their behaviors. They’re expected to talk, walk, and act a particular way. Red flags are raised every time they deviate from script. Actors have a role to play on and off screen.

Eva Longoria views herself as a role model. She takes fame by the coat tails. On the other hand, Kelly Clarkson longs for simplicity.

10.

Actresses Sarah Michelle Gellar and Rashida Jones describe fame as a weird feeling. It is a major change. One day you’re an actor, and then overnight you’re a movie star.

It all happens fast. Hollywood gives you a quick fix. Practically all entertainers use Hollywood as a launching pad for their careers.

If you’re lucky, you may inherit fame. Drew Barrymore is a prime example. She doesn’t feel like a celebrity, because she’s always been famous. She was literally born a star.

Actors Jack Nicholson and Russell Crowe recognize their star power. Jack’s quote is a bit exaggerated to say the least. And, Russell puts his money where his mouth is. I admire the Beautiful Mind movie star for his bold insights.

What does it take to be a top 50 celebrity or top 10 actor? What does it take to be on the level of Katy Perry or Justin Bieber? What does it take to be famous?

Matthew McConaughey and Megan Fox discuss the challenges of stardom. How much time do you think Matthew and Megan spend in the gym? McConaghey and Fox are famous for their looks. You better bet, in order to keep fit, they work out.

The hot actress is highly in demand for a reason. Megan Fox has found her niche in the entertainment industry. She is steadily becoming the must sought after sex symbol in show business.

I would say the price of fame is worth it. Although Adele and Jennifer Garner struggle with their celebrity, they love being a celebrity. It is crucial to point out celebrities want to be famous.

I leave you with Lady Gaga’s thoughts. It doesn’t take much to be a celebrity. In actuality, it is a thin line between ordinary and extraordinary. Fame is achievable if you reach out far enough. While your arm is out, why don’t you give a helping hand?

Lady Gaga sings like a bluejay in the Paparazzi video.

Blake Lively looks like a dream girl. Her hair is gorgeous. Her smile is infectious.

Blake is only 26 and has the whole world ahead of her. The Gossip Girl is hot like pancakes doused in homemade maple syrup. She is a vanilla/strawberry flavor.

Sonakshi Sinha is more famous than the International House of Pancakes. She is also 26. Sonakshi is hotter than a waffle iron.

She’s comfortable in her own skin. That’s what I love about her. What is more, she is a humble soul.

Humility is hard to find. Begin Again actress Keira Knightly has donated to 12 charities. Keira is also involved in 16 different causes.

27 year-old Naya Rivera ranks 27th on my list. She is very attractive. She makes me spill my coffee.

Maria Sharapova and Brenda Song are hot like a summer day. The tennis star and actress are fantastic. They have bright futures.

MySpace famous Colbie Caillat comes in at 24. She reminds me of someone else on the list, Taylor Swift. At any rate, Colbie can blow those pipes.

Beyoncé’s sister Solange Knowles is 23^rd on my list. The Sandcastle starlet is shining on her own. The ‘hottie’ is taking steps to market her brand.

Jessica Lucas is 28 and fabulous. She is beloved even more in Canada. In the next couple of years, I see her career advancing rapidly.

Kaley Cuoco’s stock is rising. She is one of the hottest actresses on television. Kaley has proven she belongs in Hollywood.

How can you not love Demi Lovato? I like her style. She is only 21, so she has the chance to become number 1.

Jessica’s sister Ashlee Simpson ranks 19^th on the list. I think she is hot. She is a duo threat with singing and acting abilities.

Not enough people know about Cassie Ventura. Did you know she is dating Diddy? You may have heard about her on Instagram.

The actress Freida Pinto is definitely on my radar. The Indian born actress was born a star. Freida is on fire like an Alicia Keys’ song.

If you had one wish you would want to meet Miley Cyrus and Megan Fox. They are hot like the Earth’s crust. Miley and Megan make me want to go to science class.

Singer Avril Lavigne is the hottest starlet from Canada. She has over 15.6 million Twitter followers. I’m so glad she’s on twitter.

Her Girlfriend song is one of my favorites. It helped propel her to rock stardom. How hot is Avril?

Redhead Emma Stone is 13^th on my list. She is just getting started. The hot Hollywood starlet is showing us why she is in demand.

Zoe Kravitz is in the same boat as Emma. She would rank higher but her stardom is just beginning. The sassy X-men actress has yet to fully develop.

She is capable of so much more. When I look at her, I see uncharted territory. She will recognize her star power eventually.

Actress Amanda Seyfried is a versatile actress. She takes the 11^th spot. From Jennifer’s Body to Lovelace, Seyfried has defined sexiness. It’s only a matter of time before she blows up even bigger.

This time next year, Amanda will make the top ten. Maybe, she might hold the top rank. Ask somebody. She is hot like the Arizona dessert.

Whenever you look Kristen Stewart in the eyes, you’re staring talent in the face. If you want to make a hot movie, then Kristen is your girl. She brought the Twilight Saga to life.

Click here for a hot gallery of Kristen Stewart from PopSugar. It’s so easy to tell that she has earned her stripes. You have to admire her body of work.

25 year-old singer slash actress Vanessa Hudgens is ninth. Like her song Amazed we are amazed by Vanessa.

Click here for photos of the starlet with Zac Efron. She is unduly underrated. Let’s show Vanessa Hudgens some love on WeHeartIt.

Redhead Emma Roberts is a 23 year-old flame. Really, she is as hot as they come. Emma can perplex any man just by smiling.

Emma has inherited her hotness from Julia Roberts. Do you see the family resemblance? I wonder how many daily proposals she gets.

Coming in at lucky number seven is Selena Gomez. Justin Bieber’s girlfriend is a top 50 celebrity. The hot starlet can only rank higher.

Selena is destined for greatness. She has a good head on her shoulders. And, she looks angelic on stage and on screen.

Rihanna just missed the top five. She is a Hollywood hottie without question. Could she be any sexier?

Sex sells. That’s why Rihanna is hot. She has built a strong brand.

Jennifer Lawrence flies under the radar at number 5. Don’t get me wrong. You may put her in first place.

That’s perfectly fine. All I’m saying is she ranks high up on anybody’s list. But, I believe there are four other beauties that outrank her.

Hilary Duff is my number 4. She’s not a media starlet like Katy Perry, but she is hot and tempting. Also, Hilary is just 26.

You either love or hate Taylor Swift. Obviously, I love her. She is a polarizing figure. But, Taylor belongs.

Taylor deserves her fame. She works smart. Her music has spotless shine.

Dianna Agron comes is the runner-up. She gets the silver medal because she is a doll. Talk about talent.

The gleeful cheerleader turns heads while she walks on the Glee set. She sings like a bird and acts like a fox. You have no choice but to admire Dianna Agron.

The hottest Hollywood starlet under 30 is drum roll please……… Scarlett Johansson! Her beauty is beyond words. I appreciate her genuineness.

If you want the hottest Hollywood starlet under 30, then Scarlett is your gal. See her in Captain America. Hey, Scarlet…You give me fever, baby.
