Pay attention to Michael B. Jordan!

If you’re an actor or a fan, you must see him shine. On my blog, I’ll see to it that his star shines bright as ever. What more does Jordan have to do for me to convince you he is one of the best of his generation? Here’s an actor whose filmography stands up to the best of them. Talk about Creed I, II, and now III. Plus, there’s Fruitvale Station and Journal for Jordan. His acting skills are on another level. He’s untouchable and unstoppable. Add Black Panther to the fold and we have an amazing entertainer. 

I really like his performance in Journal for Jordan.

Inspired by true events, the film that Denzel Washington directed highlights the best of emotions and raw feelings. The actor does an outstanding job playing a U.S. Army first sergeant. You would think he completed basic training at the very least. What separates Michael B. Jordan from other actors is preparation and dedication.In addition, he is believable as Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan. Without Remorse is a must-see movie. You’ll enjoy Jodie Turner-Smith in the supporting actress role as well. 

Are you a fan of the actor? How long have you followed his career?

Maybe he’s been on my radar for about a decade. I wasn’t too familiar with his work on the Wire. But now, I’m intrigued to look back on his earlier television roles and more. It’s always interesting to see how much a celebrity develops their craft. Jordan can play the superstar (Jack Ryan) or the sidekick (Killmonger). With a reach like his, he can impact the masses with a social media post or PSA.

Tonight, on Saturday January 28, 2023, Michael B. Jordan will host NBC Saturday Night Live (SNL). Are you looking forward to seeing him perform as much as I am?

I can’t wait to see the surprises in store for the audience. Also, I may Tweet like last weekend just for fun. Of course, there’s a chance I might give a pop quiz. Now is Michael B. Jordan’s time to shine. Saturday Night Live selected him for a reason. Doesn’t he have magnetic power? Stars attract attention…lots of it…some call it gossip.

This celebrity is in the entertainment news by personal choice. Do you think Jordan thinks about how much SNL will extend his reach? Or do you think a celebrity of his caliber only cares about awards and merits such as Golden Globes, Emmys, and Academy Awards. What drives him to work every day as hard as he does? Have you seen photos and videos of this man working out in the gym? That’s why I say he’s untouchable and unstoppable. He has a never quit mentality that transfers to the silver screen.

He and director Ryan Coogler have a strong bond. They should work on more films together. Also, I feel Michael B. Jordan has a great chemistry with Creed costar Tessa Thompson. I love seeing them share the big screen. Finally, I can’t wait to watch Creed III on March 3, 2023. Did you know Jordan directed this one on his own?

Why Halsey Is Music’s Solar Eclipse

You have been living under a rock if you haven’t heard about the solar eclipse. Also, if you don’t know Halsey by now, allow me to introduce you to her. Halsey is music’s solar eclipse.

Her type of music talent comes around once every 99 years, Halsey was born in 1994 in Washington, New Jersey. Her name is a derivative of a Brooklyn street sign. It is also an anagram of her real name Ashley.

Halsey hasn’t always had it easy although she makes her work look effortless. She struggled at the beginning of her career. However, she didn’t give up and look at her now.

Halsey is music’s solar eclipse because her talent is rare. The Rihanna, Ariana Grande, and Beyonce are a thing of the past. Out of nowhere, Halsey comes and makes a way.

I feel like Halsey falls somewhere between Meghan Trainor and Ariana Grande as far as fame. Make no mistake, she is getting more famous. She has a bright future ahead of her.

She wasn’t in Fifth Harmony or Little Mix, yet she has amassed as much star power as them. Halsey has sang duets with the Chainsmokers and Justin Bieber himself. It is amazing what she has accomplished in such a short span of time. Plus, she is only getting more famous and popular for the right reasons.

What is more, her music is making a claim on popular culture. New Americana is taking over American train of thought. Fans can’t get enough of Now or Never. In fact, they expect to hear the song at concerts. Right now, you can find Halsey on tour. She is performing in Las Vegas, Connecticut and Boston. It is an exciting time for Halsey and her fans. What is your favorite Halsey song? Do you agree that she is music’s solar eclipse?

What Is Game of Thrones Without Emilia Clarke?

What Is Game of Thrones Without Emilia Clarke?

I blogged about Emilia Clarke’s portrayal of Daenerys Targaryen as a major reason people watch Game of Thrones in a recent blogpost entitled Why Game of Thrones Is the Number 1 TV Show. I still stand by that assertion. Without Emilia Clarke, Game of Thrones would not be the same though. What Chris Martin is to Coldplay and what Kaley Cuoco is to the Big Bang Theory, Emilia Clarke is to Game of Thrones.

Her character and the actress herself has evolved through the years. This blogpost hopes to highlight or at least shine a light on some of her excellence. In my eyes, Emilia Clarke is the English version of Scarlett Johansson. You can’t deny that her beauty is a factor for fans tuning in every Sunday on HBO. Moreover, you can’t deny that her talent is another factor fans are glueing their eyeballs to their 4K Ultra and HD screens. The equation is simple. Beauty + Talent = Movie Star.

The Hollywood actress turned 30 years old on October 23rd. She started filming Game of Thrones in her mid-twenties. I believe she has became more beautiful and more talented within that time frame. Moreover, she has a good sense of humor and is a pleasant personality, which is rare. I recommend watching a few interviews and getting to know her when you get the chance. I’m providing a brief clip at the end of this post for your enjoyment.

What is Game of Thrones without Emilia Clarke? Her character’s long golden flowing locks are signature to the series. Plus, I can see the show staying in production for another 5 years. You see Game of Thrones is based on a book by George R.R. Martin. Emilia Clarke is appealing to book lovers, especially fantasy genre aficionados in the realm of television. Fans on both sides are pleased with her characterization. Chime in your comments. You’re welcome at GuruJay.com.

American Idol Best Blog Celebrity Charisma Ellen DeGeneres Entertainment Guru Jay Harry Connick Jr. Hollywood Michael Strahan Music New Orleans personalities Showbiz Singers Talk Shows TMZ Today TV

Harry Connick Jr. and the New Orleans Connection

Have you seen Harry Connick Jr.’s new talk show? The former American Idol judge hosts the self-titled Harry show. It’s a fun and upbeat show similar to Ellen DeGeneres’s The Ellen Show.

I’ve seen Harry multiple times. I watched him today right before TMZ Live. Maureen McCormick from the Brady Bunch was his main guest. Everybody in attendance had a good time. Plus, the viewers at home (including me) were pleased.

Near the end of the recording, Harry performed a beautiful song and played the piano. Few people in TV and showbiz are multitalented. What is more, no one can deny his masterful skills.

Born and bred in New Orleans, this celebrity’s calling card is his likability. Everybody loves Raymond and Harry too. Connick Jr. possesses the pizzazz. Like Bradley Cooper, he mixes up the gumbo. The secret ingredient is charisma.

Good Morning America’s Michael Strahan was bestowed the same gift. I call this the Like Factor. All Harry has to do is smile a little. That’s all. And, he’ll possibly replace Billy Bush on the Today show.

Millions of people all around the world want entertainment value with their viewership. They need personalities to latch unto, identify with, and support. Now that Oprah’s retired, fans crave evermore.

I feel Harry Connick Jr.’s talk show might not last 5 seasons, but his brand will last 5 more decades. They will compare him to Tony Bennett. The question is who will be his Lady Gaga.

How It Ends

You hardly ever see someone making strides, leaps, and bounds in both music and TV. Without question, his name belongs on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He’s too talented to be put on the back burner.

You see, Harry Connick Jr. succeeds because he’s well connected. Harry Connick Jr. succeeds because of the New Orleans connection. Ellen, Lil Wayne, and all the money makers were born and bred there.

Actors Best Blog Between Two Ferns Celebrity comedy Famous People Funny Funny or Die Guru Jay Hollywood Movies Ricky Gervais Showbiz Steve Carell The Hangover The Office Will Ferrell Zach Galifianakis

Who’s Funnier Than Zach Galifianakis and Steve Carell?

BY: GURU JAY

Check out Between Two Ferns. You see as a pair Zach Galifianakis and Steve Carell could take over the comedy world. 10 years from now you’ll play that clip and still laugh from your gut. That’s the best kind of laughter.
Zach Galifianakis and Steve Carell answer the question: what’s so funny? Zach has mastered the art of self-deprecation. And Steve Carell’s persona epitomizes a narcissist. That’s why together they are 1 dangerous force.
Can you picture a comedy tour with these comedians? Zach Galifianakis drums up funny beats for a living. Who’s funnier than him?
Maybe, Steve Carell can make you laugh a little more. Both brands command attention. You see comedy and marketing go hand and hand.

I feel that Carell is the best actor between the two ferns. However, Galifianakis is a funnier comedian. You’ll sure have a ball watching them go to town. For what it’s worth, Steve Carell made the Office. And Zach Galifianakis made the Hangover. 

Zach’s standup experience prepares him perfectly for movies. Although he isn’t the best, he is a good actor. Galifianakis delivers a great performance in Birdman. Also, in Are You Here, he and Owen Wilson demonstrate their entertainment value.
Hollywood stars are jealous of Zach and Steve because their names draw enormous crowds. For the record, Evan Almighty should be recognized as a classic, despite Jim Carrey not reprising his role. Plus Hangover Part III was unfairly criticized. Remember that the original tends to be better than sequels.

I think Ricky Gervais is proud of Steve Carell in Office. And I believe Will Ferrellappreciates Zach’s offerings to Funny or Die. I don’t like Dan In Real Life but Bored to Death is excellent work. Also, 40 Year-Old Virgin is one of the funniest movies ever. In a nutshell, who’s funnier than Zach Galifianakis and Steve Carell?

Brace for Metallica’s Full Impact

Brace for full impact because Metallica delivers the total package. Who has a more devoted fan base than this heavy/ trash metal band? Without question, the Los Angeles based group embraces financial backers in the form of venture capitalists and groupies. Just like fans, Rock Stars come in all shapes and sizes but the truly great ones are standouts.
How do you explain the band’s longevity? Let’s talk about solvency and liquidity. These music guys have been in business longer than some of America’s biggest corporations. Plus Metallica maximizes its strengths and passes the STRESS test with flying colors.  
   
Metallica appeals to a variety of individuals. However, a hardcore demographic supports the band and makes it money. Are you a diehard fan? 
What are your favorite Metallica songs of all time? My top 5 are: 1. Until It Sleeps 2. The Unforgiven 3. One 4. Whiskey In the Jar and 5. Nothing Else Matters. Next question: do you know the lyrics by heart?

James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett had it all figured out in the early 1980s before we were born. Later, Robert Trujillo would join them and make a foursome on par with the Beatles. I believe Metallica is in Beatles territory.
You see they built their reputations brick by brick. The Rock Stars finely downloaded their images one pixel at a time. What is more, they knew when it was time to innovate. Metallica stuck it out together when others would have disbanded. Give extra credit to Hetfield for being a visionary.    
Metallica is the purest band in the business. Watching them perform is like seeing Captain America: Civil War again. Every guy is equipped with armor and knows their superpower. That’s why their concerts need the tightest security.
Brace for full impact as Metallica comes on stage.

Why Cher Is Amazing

BY: GURU JAY


Remember Alicia Silverstone played Cher and Stacey Dash was Dionne in Clueless. Stacey was named after superstar Dionne Warwick. And Alicia was named after the one and only Cher.

Good things happened in the 1990s. In the words of Cher “If I could turn back time…” I would warp us into 1995. Then, we’ll party like it’s 1999. R.I.P. Prince.

Do you notice how many great music artists go by 1 name? What if movie stars did the same thing? Imagine 23 Jump Street starring Channing and Jonah. #23 Michael appears in a cameo scene.

The main point is: there’s only one Cher. All the others are just imitators. So won’t the real Cher please stand up? S/O Eminem.

Like Barbra Streisand, the Cher sound is larger than life. Her vocal chords stretches to the highest degree. She owned the 1970s. We could also time travel to that era and save Jimi Hendrix.

 
Currently Cher leads 5 million Twitter and 
Facebook followers. She has sold more than
100 million records. Plus this celebrity has a net 
worth exceeding $305 million.

It’s easy to admire Cher because her career is admirable. Fans and musicians (of all stages) adore her beautiful art. You can spend the whole music appreciation class discussing her records and concerts. Who wouldn’t mind listening to a lecture on this singer?

There’s a certain boldness and rich quality to her voice. She’s finely tuned like a Steinway Grand Piano. It’s as if the one of a kind celebrity tickles the ebonies and ivories with her tonsils. How sure are we that her throat doesn’t have keys?

Teacher Appreciation Day

Alicia Keys and Beyoncé can teach Nicki Minaj. Mariah Carey can teach Ariana Grande and Meghan Trainor. Rihanna and Lady Gaga can teach Miley Cyrus. Last but not least, Cher can teach the teachers.

I feel Cher inspires maybe even Madonna. Plus 
the El Centro, California homegirl inspires the 
world. Applaud her fearlessness and courage to
take on challenges.

In closing, celebrities come and go. We 
call them stars because their glory fades 
but they shine for amoment. The truly amazing 
stars don an everlasting glow. Cher is amazing.
