Hollywood has every star you could think of: from music, comedy, tv and of course movies. Being famous is harder than you think though. Entertainers are under enormous pressure to perform and exceed expectations. It’s not enough to please fans anymore, you have to please producers and directors too.

Blake Lively is fastly becoming one of my favorite actresses. Can you believe the Age of Adaline actress is only 29 years old? But she has built the body of work of a 40 year old actor. Check out Blake Lively in my piece called 30 Hottest Hollywood Starlets Under 30.

It’s only a matter of time before Blake Lively receives her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Celebrities like Lively walk on the red carpet for a living and receive star treatment. What is more, this celebrity can have anything she wants, all she needs to do is ask for it. You asked for it and that’s why you’re here.

Lively is in the process of becoming an exceptional A List actress. We’re talking about the best in the business here. It wouldn’t surprise if she is the highest paid actress pretty soon. She’s already one of the hottest.

As you can see Blake Lively stays busy. The Gossip Girl cares about her reputation. Did you know she filmed 121 episodes in 6 seasons of Gossip Girl?

The celebrity is proof that when you play your cards right, nothing can go wrong. Everything goes as plan if you stick to the script and execute. Who’s more in demand than Blake Lively right now?

The Shallows made $119 million at the box office. Cafe Society was a critical success. And All I See Is You should do well in theaters.

Moreover, she is a showbiz princess. Blake Lively is a joy to be around. The pleasant actress keeps a smile on her face no matter what. Who’s hotter than Blake Lively?

Tim McGraw Vs. Garth Brooks

Tim McGraw Vs. Garth Brooks


You can only have one. Who do you choose between Tim McGraw and Garth Brooks? Who do you believe is better? I think Tim McGraw wins in the long term, but right now Garth Brooks is the best man for the job.

My motto is “may the best man win.” Moreover, May We All McGraw is letting Garth Brooks outshine him these days. You see Garth Brooks is greater in the short term. His Amazon commercials demonstrate his ability to generate massive appeal. Where are the McGraw advertisements, seriously? Maybe, I’m missing the placements.

For what it’s worth, Tim McGraw has won one more Grammy than Garth Brooks (3 to 2). However, Brooks has earned 22 Academy of Country Music Awards compared to McGraw’s 14. What does this say about the two country music singers? Maybe, McGraw is more mainstream and Brooks is true country.

Both celebrities deserve respect because they are legends. Is this the Luke Bryan Vs. Blake Shelton argument all over again? Luke and Blake are legends in the making. But I believe they would rather be in McGraw’s shoes than Brooks’ boots.

It is important to pay tribute to legends while they are still here. These days celebrities are becoming scarce. In 2016, we lost a plethora of legendary entertainers. Let’s appreciate who we have and show some respect. In the words of Garth Brooks, we have to appreciate them as “if tomorrow never comes.”

What’s wrong with comparing celebrities? Entertainment is about having fun and escaping from harsh realities. Besides, competition makes for better music.

Let’s go back to the question at hand. Remember, you can only have one. The answer depends on whether you want your steak rare or well done.

I don’t mind waiting for the flower to bloom, so I choose Tim McGraw. McGraw is a sensible choice for a guru, who loves Country. I’ll take my time meditating, then I’ll listen to Tim sing.

Is Aloe Blacc Another John Legend?

Nowadays, the deep sounding voice is rare in music. That’s what makes Aloe Blacc a diamond in the rough. Now, he’s not Barry White but you get the picture. It’s hard to argue with the fact Aloe is special. He’s another John Legend.

Before John Legend fans launch an attack on me, allow me to explain myself. John Legend is a far better singer than Aloe Blacc and almost everybody else. However, what Aloe Blacc lacks in raw talent, he makes up for with soul. You can’t deny that Aloe Blacc is one of the most passionate crooners showbiz has ever seen.

Justin Bieber, Shawn Mendes, Justin Timberlake and most other male vocalists are known for their high pitches. But who wants to live in a world where music all sounds the same? No knock on Biebs, Mends, and Timbs but the fans have spoken. They want something different from the status quo.

Aloe Blacc is different. He doesn’t subscribe to the status quo at all. You know how they say some writers such as Herman Melville were ahead of their time. I believe this singer is ahead of his time.

Here’s why…

He crosses genres. Who else sings pop, country, and hip-hop? You could say that Nelly crosses all three genres but I remind you that the Hot in Here artist is a rapper.

What is more, Aloe Blacc makes meaningful music. The singer sings about what’s important in the world. He doesn’t brag about how much money he makes and how many girlfriends he has or the good life. Did you know his nickname is Mr. Frugal? I call this Hollywood Conservatism.

I’ve been following Aloe Blacc since his I Need A Dollar days. Green Lights is one of my favorite Aloe Blacc songs. Moreover, I play I’m the Man (Explicit version) when I feel the need. Lately, I’ve been casually listening to his songs on Vevo.

Do you agree that Aloe Blacc is another John Legend?

Why Him? Movie Review

If you want to laugh your ass off, then watch Why Him?. It is a must-see comedy movie. But let me warn you about the vulgar language. Goodie-twoshoes should stay away because James Franco curses up a storm. Nevertheless, the movie lives up to the hype.

Why Him? is about a smalltown girl named Stephanie from Michigan (played by Zoey Deutch) who falls in love with a wealthy wild California computer guy (played by James Franco), while she attends Stanford. Her parents have no idea who she’s dating. All they know is that Christmas will be spent in California because their daughter invited them. And boy, does this young man have plans for their daughter.

James Franco plays the lead role (Laird). Laird isn’t your stereotypical computer genius. He loves making video games and he loves making love. Laird lives in a mansion with a gatehouse. Buffalos walk around freely on his property. He’s a straightarrow and that’s why he is misunderstood.

He plans on marrying Stephanie, but he wants permission from her father first. Bryan Cranston plays the role of father (Ned). Cranston puts on a memorable performance. You’ll love the climax when Ned finally has had it up to here with Laird.

You see Laird has won over everybody except Ned. First of all, he makes a bad first impression. Secondly, Laird makes a bad second impression. Ned doesn’t like the multimillionaire for a variety of reasons. I won’t discuss the main reason because I don’t want to spoil it for you.

This may be the funniest movie I’ve seen all year. It is a 5 star comedy. James Franco and Zoey Deutch are a believable couple. You couldn’t ask for a more perfect union.

The script was well-written. The acting was phenomenal. I would definitely watch it again. You should see it and laugh your ass off too.

Collateral Beauty Movie Review

Collateral Beauty starring Will Smithcaptivates the audience. The film takes you on a journey of discovery. You discover the characters one by one and the story is put together piece by piece. You’re given all that you need from beginning to end. Not a word is wasted.

Collateral Beauty is about a man (Will Smith) coping with the death of his young daughter. Fortunately, he has built a thriving advertising business. But all the money in the world won’t bring his daughter back to life.

To cope with the unthinkable (losing a child), Howard played by Smith writes and mails letters to 3 abstracts: Love, Time, and Death. A private investigator opens them and reveals the details to his colleagues. Howard is effectively ambushed by his colleagues who stage an intervention to question his competency.

The plot involves subplots such as a woman’s biological clock, a man’s fight with cancer, and a father’s bond with his daughter. Actors literally play a key role in the movie, because the colleagues hire actors to play Love, Time, and Death. The movie has many twists and turns. I guarantee you’ll love it.

Will Smith delivers a powerful performance. His part alone makes the movie an eye opening experience. Give credit to amazing direction and incredible cinematography. No doubt the screenwriting is brilliant. Overall, I give the movie an A.

Plus, the movie showcases a dynamic cast. Edward Norton, Kate Winslet, and Michael Pena were excellent additions. Let’s not forget about Keira Knightley, who never looks a day over 25. They say she always gets her beauty sleep.

Collateral Beauty is about recognizing Death and staring her in the face. Accept the things you can’t change. And change what you can. What is more, come to grips that death is a natural part of life. Live your life abudantly, so that you can die peacefully. In the event, something unexpected happens, realize the collateral beauty.

Country music fans were treated to awesomeness in 2016. This year couldn’t have been better for country. There were literally dozens of great releases. What beats Blake Shelton’s She’s Got A Way With Words? Keep reading and find out. In this edition, I will name the top 5 country music songs of 2016. Without further ado, let’s start the countdown.

5. Setting the World on Fire By: Kenny Chesney Featuring Pink

Can Kenny Chesney make a hit or what? The man never swings at balls. What is more, he hits homeruns on music’s diamond. Setting the World on Fire starts the countdown because it’s my theme music. When you don’t know what to do, set the world on fire. Find someone special to do it with and you’re all set. Chesney smartly picked Pink to feature. Who are you picking?

4. Dirty Laundry By: Carrie Underwood

The perfect 10 singerdoesn’t mind doing dirty laundry. She’ll just have to hang you out to dry. Dirty Laundry is my favorite 2016 single by Carrie Underwood. She sings with a lot of passion.

Don’t you love Carrie? She knows how to please fans. Her vocals are on another scale. I encourage you to listen to Dirty Laundry.

3. May We All By: Florida Georgia Line Featuring Tim McGraw

Florida Georgia Line is making waves in country music. They understand their fans and vice versa. Teaming up with Tim McGraw was an intelligent move. Moreover, May We All contains a strong message. You see life is a race and sometimes you got to pull your foot off the gas and put it on the break. I can’t think of many more 2016 songs as awesome as May We All.

2. She’s Got A Way With Words By: Blake Shelton

2nd on my list is She’s Got A Way With Words By: Blake Shelton. The Voice coach has trained his voice to reach higher degrees. There’s something chilly and hot about She’s Got A Way With Words. This could have easily been the number one song. Blake belts out this ballad with fire on his tongue. You’d think he were a dragon.

1. Middle of A Memory By: Cole Swindell

The number one country song of 2016 is Cole Swindell’s Middle of A Memory. I believe this is Cole Swindell at his absolute best. Even William Shakespeare couldn’t have written more eloquent lyrics. Plus, the instrumental tells a story of its own. If you have ever been in love, you want to play Middle of a Memory right now.

This is it for the Top 5 country music songs of 2016. Thank you for reading. I hope you enjoyed.

2016 was an awesome year in music history. Everyone from casual listeners to music buffs were clearly entertained. Beyonce and Justin Timberlake both have demonstrated why they are still on top of the pop charts. On this special day, I will countdown my top 5 favorite pop songs this year. Enjoy!


5. 24 K Magic By: Bruno Mars

When I first heard this song, I didn’t like it that much. However, something magical happened the second time. I saw Bruno Mars perform 24 K Magic live on Saturday Night Live and my mind changed instantly. This song easily makes my top list now, because Bruno’s techniques are legendary. Nothing beats the singer’s vocals at their best.

24 K Magic gets the party started better than the Black Eyed Peas Let’s Get It Started. I like it more than Uptown Funk. You see Bruno Mars is a dangerous man with some money in his pocket and you gotta keep up or you’ll get lost. Moreover, the lyrics are exciting.

4. Starboy By: The Weeknd

I can’t say anything bad about the Weeknd. Starboy shows why The Weeknd is a star. Did you catch his Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show performance? He stole the spotlight from supermodels. The Weeknd doesn’t hold anything back. He’s a dangerous man with some money in his pocket too. Check out Bruno Mars Vs. The Weeknd for an interesting comparison.

3. This Is What You Came For By: Calvin Harris Featuring Rihanna

I listen to This Is What You Came For every other day because Calvin Harris generates electric music. You need this celebrity like you need electricity. Boldly, I dare say that Calvin Harris is a modern day Elton John. Plus, his collaborations are always genius. Calvin finds the right vocals and mixes it with the right instruments. His calculations are never off a fraction.

2. Work By: Rihanna Featuring Drake

Does everybody love listening to Work By: Rihanna or what? The repetition, the beat, and the rhythm are 3 things that make this song worth it’s weight in gold. It is a priceless masterpiece of a song. Rihanna is obviously one of my favorite pop singers. And this is my favorite song by her. Rihanna is someone else I can’t speak a bad word about. Work is amazing!

1. Perfect Illusion By: Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga earns the number one spot on my countdown. Perfect Illusion came out at the perfect time. Gaga has shown throughout the years she isn’t a one hit wonder. What is more, Perfect Illusion broke the Internet. Apparently, YouTube crashed as a result of this video’s release. I choose Perfect Illusion By: Lady Gaga because the song has a certain intrinsic value. Only Lady Gaga could do it.

Honorable Mentions: Formation By: Beyonce and Can’t Stop the Feeling By: Justin Timberlake


This concludes my top 5 pop songs of 2016. What are yours?
