Kristen Stewart Vs. Jennifer Lawrence BATTLE of the SEXIEST

BY: GURU JAY


Ladies and gentlemen, tonight we have a battle of the sexiest. Let’s get ready to rumble!!! It’s showtime…

In the red corner, she’s the Twilight Saga blood sucker…standing at 5 feet 5 inches short…weighing in at 120 pounds…24 years young…from Los Angeles, California girl/ Disneyland’s Kristen Stewart!

In the blue corner, best known for the Hunger Games with People’s sexiest man Liam Hemsworth…standing 5 feet 9 inches tall…weighing 139 pounds…24 year-old Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence!

BATTLE of the SEXIEST

Who’s the best looking? Who’s sexier? Who’s the most talented?

Pound for pound, I give KStew the nod for attractiveness and sexiness. Her beautiful blue eyes and long flowing hair makes me believe in fairytales. If Stewart wants it bad enough, she could be our generation’s Audrey Hepburn.

But, JLaw is the best actress. Kristen could learn how to act from Jennifer Lawrence. Studios want to get their hands on JLaw like the new Iphone. She’s a director’s dream.

Have you seen Silver Linings Playbook? You won’t find a better looking 21 year old on the silver screen than Jennifer. JLaw rocks a brunette hair color and turns more heads than DJango Unchained. 

Someday KStew and JLaw will make a movie together. I’d bet both would compromise their salaries for art’s sake. Artistically, I see Kristen as surpassing pretty woman Julia Roberts. 

The media constantly covers JLaw and neglects KStew. They’re doing fans a disservice. Wouldn’t you like to hear more about Kristen Stewart?

Nowadays if you want good news, you have to know where to look. Aren’t you tired of seeing the same story? Go to GuruJay.com and I guarantee you won’t get bored. Search the blog archive for more fun.

I am Guru Jay and I don’t join the discussion. I start it. And sometimes I finish it. I am Guru Jay launching off into orbit in 5-4-3-2-1!

Actors beef Celebrities Celebrity Compton Detroit Eminem Entertainment feud Guru Jay Iggy Azalea Mark Wahlberg money Music rap Snoop Dogg T.I. videos Will Smith

Eminem Vs. Iggy Azalea

BY: GURU JAY

Eminem Vs. Iggy Azalea 

I love my generation. So when Eminem attacks Iggy Azalea, he’s talking about my generation. Do you believe Eminem and Iggy carefully orchestrated their beef? Why would Eminem risk ruining a good relationship?
I expect Eminem to catch a ball in Left Field. He’s an official Detroit Tiger. Eminem made his career by causing controversy.
This is his calling card. He went after Britney, Mariah and the Spice girls. Iggy Azalea was next. Eminem’s predictable because the rapper always goes after mainstream ‘pop’ stars.
The urban legend is Iggy Azalea has a ghostwriter. She doesn’t write her own lyrics like Eminem and most other rappers. And Nicki Minaj exposed her at the BET Awards.

Is Iggy Azalea authentic? 
Maybe, Snoop Dogg is her ghostwriter. He’s known to spell out his name S.N.OO.P. D.O.GG. Iggy spells her name out I.GG.Y.
The Snoop Dogg feud shouldn’t have escalated. As the Nicki Minaj news faded, Snoop stole the spotlight. It’s almost like the rappers think Iggy is a problem.
I’m sorry… Does Iggy Azalea hurt their record sales? Why not work with her, instead of against her? Maybe, I’m missing something.
If you can’t make good music, at least make some sense. It’s senseless to criticize a fellow celebrity. Let the fans listen to their music.
The entertainment industry is a hard enough nut to crack. I say let the nut crackers crack. Let the singers sing. And let the rappers rap. Musicians should stick to making music.
So who’s pulling the strings? Who’s behind the scenes calling the shots? Is it the rappers or the record labels? You know the deal.
I get that the music business is highly competitive. Nowadays musicians are more business minded than ever. Maybe, the Iggy Azalea beefs are all hype. I hope it is.
Still, if you’re a celebrity, you need to grow thick skin. Never allow a little joke to upset you. Iggy Azalea should have sought advice.
Addressing the gangster rapper was a big mistake. Snoop received his education at the school of hard knocks alongside Jay Z & Annie. He’s not Drake, Kendrick Lamar, or J. Cole.
Iggy came back firing on all cylinders. So Snoop declared an all out war. And T.I. had to make peace. If you ask me, this isn’t finished.
They both went too far. Neither one should have acknowledged the other’s insults. Recap: first Nicki, then Snoopy, and now Eminem…
Eminem
Listen to the rap song Detroit Vs. Everybody. Then, you’ll understand Eminem’s mentality. In his mind, nothing is off limits.
Even if you don’t admire his authenticity, you can’t say he isn’t consistent. When Eminem includes you in his rap, then you are relevant. Does his one-liners do any real damage? It’s a matter of perspective. Still, Eminem should proceed with caution. You have the right to speak your mind and remain silent.
You see Eminem worked his way up the underground. 8 Mile, loosely based on his life, is a great movie. If you make a movie based on a true story, people will want to see proof. Fortunately, Eminem’s story checked out. In fact, Lose Yourself won an Oscar.
The rap community does not support Iggy because she has no street credibility. Eminem originated out of Detroit. The only place that can rival the dangerous ‘D’ is Compton. 
So, it’s best for Iggy to ‘shake it off.’ Make a song with Taylor Swift. Get your money and they might respect you. Don’t try to take on the World Star Hip Hop. You’ll lose.
A real winner loses sometime. Iggy Azalea is a winner as long as she sticks to making music. I question why she even needs a publicist.
It takes time to master any game. A player must practice every chance he gets. Before Eminem was famous, he honed his skills.
Eminem gets better with time. That’s why the rap community respects him. He’s not afraid.
Eminem received his education from the old school. He’s not new school like James Franco. The celebrity does his homework. He practices.
People like Eminem because he doesn’t seek their approval. That’s the secret to his success. Iggy can learn a lot from Eminem if she listens.
Iggy Azalea
If Iggy ignores her haters, she’ll break records. But if her ego gets too big, the rapper will burst like a bubble. She has to stay grounded.
I’ve never seen somebody burn bridges they haven’t even crossed yet. Hollywood Boulevard is a two way street. You can’t choose sides.
See How to Be Famous in 7 Steps. Iggy needs to read step #4- Engage your fan base. Instead of engaging fans, her attention is focused on her harshest critics.
Iggy’s still young. So she’ll learn from her mistakes. It’s better to outsmart your opponent than to overpower him.
When taking the high road, hire a limousine driver. You can’t chance it. In the long haul, you need security and a dedicated team.
It seems T.I. is the only person that defends Iggy. That’s why it’s open season on Azalea. She should just build her brand.
Maybe, T.I. is to Iggy, what Dr. Dre is to Eminem and maybe not. You see Eminem signed 50 cent to Shady Aftermath records. Eminem cofounded a rap group in 1996 called D-12. 

Eminem made Iggy Azalea possible.
I’ve never heard Brad Pitt talk bad about Johnny Depp. The Movie industry operates differently. What if Iggy started acting?
Will Smith and Mark Wahlberg had respectable rap careers before striking gold on the silver screen. Do you think Iggy compares more with Mark or Eminem?
There are two paths Iggy can choose. She can select the Eminem route or the Mark Wahlberg route. It’s easier to be Wahlberg than Eminem.
To sum it up, T.I. can’t fight all of Iggy’s battles for her. People will start to get the wrong idea. Does T.I. control Azalea’s career?
I’m following this situation because something’s wrong. Fans love Iggy. Rappers love fans. So, why do rappers hate Iggy Azalea?

It defies logic. I am going to get to the bottom of this. Look forward to another one. I am Guru Jay launching off into orbit in 5-4-3-2-1!

Top 20 Highest Paid Solo Music Artists REVEALED + VIDEO

Top 20 Highest Paid Solo Music Artists REVEALED

I listen to music everyday. My music taste is very flavorful. Music means everything to me.

Do you like a nice variety of songs? Or do you only listen to Country or Heavy Metal exclusively? Leave a comment.

Besides being universal, music is also lucrative. This article will shed some light on the state of music. You’ll clearly see how popularity is not profitability.

Country Music artists get paid a premium. Do you know why? It’s because Country has less competition.

So it isn’t surprising that the highest paid musicians belong to the Country genre. Think about it. Although Pop appeals to the masses, Country follows the money.

Taylor Swift wasn’t a high school cheerleader but she is cheerful. She sings with a perfect pitch and a clear tone. But does she deserve the most dollars?

My initial thought was that Katy Perry was #1. To my surprise, she didn’t even make the list. Neither did Lady Gaga. Back to my point, popularity is not profitability.

If you want to cash in on your fame, don’t follow the accolades. Follow the money. Look at John Mayer.

John Mayer is not as famous as Drake or Nicki Minaj. But, John Boy makes $10 million per year.  Where do Drake and Nicki rank on the money list? They don’t.

The moral of the story is that numbers can be misleading. The only real numbers that matter are the ones after a ($) dollar sign.

Kenny Chesney has 2 million Twitter followers. Jennifer Lopez (JLo) has 29 million followers. Guess what? Chesney is the second highest paid music artist. What does that tell you?

I don’t sugarcoat. And, I don’t pander celebrities. I’m not a lawyer. I am an accountant.

Dollars don’t lie. Kenny Chesney makes $33 million per year. JLo earns less than $9 million as a musician.

I wrote an article comparing Justin Timberlake and JLo. I found out that my followers love Justin to death. Well, wouldn’t you know JT earns $31 million annually?

Timberlake is third on the highest paid musician list. Beyoncé follows him at #4.

Longevity pays dividends. #20 Elton John and #19 Jimmy Buffett show you why. They are from the ‘show me’ state.

You must think in terms of the long run. Sticking around is good. Don’t make the mistake of retiring too soon.

Celine Dion is still relevant at #15. Her greatest hit ‘My Heart Will Go On’ is top 10 all time. Beautiful music is internationally recognized. There is no need for translation.

You have to love making music. The highest paid artists are the most productive. I identify with Justin Timberlake because he seems to understand the way the entertainment world works.

Most musicians have a lopsided view of the industry. Show business is cutthroat because so many artists are sticking their necks out for an unclean shave. You should look in the mirror to shave, or just grow a full beard.

The former Destiny’s Child lead singer is irreplaceable as a solo music artist. She makes over $24 million. Beyoncé is on demand.

There’s been so much speculation about her marriage to Jay Z. Will they divorce? I think it’s imminent.

The majority of divorces end due to financial reasons. Jay Z is the 11th highest paid solo artist. There’s likely some jealously considering the competitive nature of both Rap and Hip-Hop.

His protégé Rihanna is the 13thhighest paid singer. The Barbados babe is prolific but she is not very productive.

Even though she is my third favorite pop star. I feel she has room for improvement. Rihanna Vevo is the #1 YouTube channel. And yet, she isn’t a top 10 earner.

If Rihanna is smart she’ll realize that singing less can make her more money. Of all the artists, Rihanna has the most potential. Plus she is already a superstar!

Pink is the 6th highest earning solo music artist. Why is Pink so high on the list? It’s because she is unique.

It’s not a big secret that eccentric stars earn the big bucks. Elton John has played this game for years. Just like there’s only one Elton, there is only one Pink.

Michael Bublé  is successful because he has a monopoly on Christmas music. He saw an opportunity and went in headfirst. Now his name is synonymous with XMAS carols.

The key to the entertainment business is to find your niche. It’s that simple. If you’re the best, you don’t have to worry. Just wait for the paycheck to arrive.

Paul McCartney is #14; and, Kenny Chesney is second.  Both gentlemen are living legends. Paul is to Rock and Roll what Kenny is to Country Music.

If you really want to hear true genius, you might have to play an old record. The best music periods are the ‘60s and ‘70s. The ‘80s were also a great time in music.

State of Music

The state of music is fragile. On the one hand, the singing is top notch. On the other hand, the lyrics are crappy.

Today’s music lacks a message. In the words of Paul McCartney, I believe in Yesterday. The corporatization of music is in full effect.

I support Vevo because it delivers excellent content. But, Vevo is a prime example of corporate culture. And so, there’s a tradeoff.

I blame the singers/songwriters. It’s the new normal for many musicians to write their own songs. In the past, this was very rare.

Nothing will change until the songwriters take back their craft. It’s cheaper to have singers write their own songs. And, that’s why the songs sound cheap. It’s easy to reverse this course.

I’m not saying don’t let singers write. All I am saying is to let the songwriters do their jobs. The best songwriters can’t sing a lick.

As you can see, technology has drastically changed the way music is heard. Despite the initial concerns, music artists are living the good life. You can make a fortune if you are gifted and talented.

You can really do well with Country. Two words: Taylor Swift!

Fandom: Are You A Fan, Fantastic or A Fanatic?

BY: GURU JAY

Are You A Fan, Fantastic or A Fanatic?

Who is your favorite celebrity? Who do you follow on Twitter? Are you in a fan club?

Are you a fan, fantastic or a fanatic?

Justin Bieber, One Direction, and Miley Cyrus have huge fan bases. I’m sure you’ve seen hash tags such as #Beliebers #Directioners and #Smilers. You see singers are popular on Twitter largely due to YouTube. Every musician has a VEVO.
RihannaVevo is the most viewed channel on YouTube. It’s not a coincidence that Rihanna is also a Twitter sensation. The petite Barbados babe calls her fans the #RihannaNavy.
She is one of my top 5 favorite pop stars. Very few can compete with her consistency. Rihanna is a reliable hit maker. Every year she puts out edgy music videos.
Rapper Eminem has 18.6 million Twitter followers. And this number is constantly growing. The 41 year-old Detroit native is defying logic. It’s been reported that the rapper and Rihanna are in a relationship together. 
Check out this video ‘Stan.’ It addresses fandom. This is one of Eminem’s best songs.

If you have a talent make sure you use it. If you want to be a celebrity, you need diehard fans. Check out How to Be Famous. If you follow the steps you’ll be a superstar!

Fanatics are crucial to celebrity brands. Demi Lovato calls her fans ‘Lovatics.’ Oprah Winfrey’s brand names include Harpo, O’ (magazine), and Owners (network).

Lady Gaga’s ‘Little Monsters’ and Katy Perry’s ‘KatyCats’ are at each other’s throats. They’re too competitive for their own sakes. It would be nice to hear a Gaga/Katy duet.

FANDOM

Fandom first started with Elvis Presley. Elvis was a musical genius. The King of Rock and Roll is still held in high regard. He is the Las Vegas legend.
You can make a good living impersonating Elvis. Work on your hair, dance moves, and singing style. Elvis Presley was truly one of a kind.
Marilyn Monroe was more than a sex symbol. She was the face of Hollywood. Her image is still recognized.
Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, influenced a generation of music artists; and so, has the Queen of Pop Madonna. She is a transformational musician. Copycat celebrities sample their songs. A wise man said ‘Imitation is the best form of flattery.’
Robin Thicke is accused of stealing Marvin Gaye’s music. Thicke’s Blurred Lines uses Marvin’s sound and hook. Due to this, Robin is in legal trouble. Marvin Gaye’s family is upset.

Lady Gaga’s #LittleMonsters and Katy Perry’s #KatyCats are highly effective. There are far too many fan-bases to name them all. But I want to highlight the best ones.

Beliebers, Directioners, and Lovatics dominate Twitter. In this day and age, it is very important to have a strong Internet presence. I do what I can on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. It’s all about connecting fans with a network.

I like Miley Cyrus’ Smilers. They are a loyal bunch. Loyalty is a rare asset. I remember how loyal her fans were to her when she had a health scare.  The Smilers posted ‘get well soon’ messages all over the social media sites.
Miley Cyrus is great at interacting with Smilers. The way Justin Bieber engages Beliebers is unreal. To date, JB has over 27,000 tweets!

Do celebrities get on your nerves? Yes, they do sometimes. But thanks to technology, we can get the inside scoop. Now we’re able to Google everything.

Most celebrities appreciate their fandom. Some celebs just show it better. To tell you the truth, I couldn’t tell you the difference between a Directioner and North West before joining Twitter.
I’ve been on Twitter for only five months and I’m already getting benefits. I love how my followers re-tweet me. That means they’re listening and I’m interesting.
Can you imagine Elvis Presley using social media? He would have 100 million Twitter followers. Without a doubt, social networking strengthens your fan base.
Do you think Reality TV could survive without the World Wide Web? The Kardashians based their careers off a viral Internet sex tape. Paris Hilton also gained notoriety from a naughty movie.
I never was a big fan of Reality programs. Now, I’m somewhere in the middle. Reality Shows- I can’t live with them; and, I can’t live without them.
Do you know watch Duck Dynasty? I know people who watch the A&E show religiously. I’ve seen a couple shows myself; and, it’s not bad.
I think TV is in good hands. It’s nice to see a good mix of sitcoms, sci-fi, dramas, action, and reality. I also enjoy educational programming and documentaries.
Do you watch Cosmos? Astrophysicist Neil Degrasse Tyson has a big following of geeks, nerds and exhibitionists. However, the Kardashians and Ducks likely have the biggest Reality TV fan base.
Highly rated shows like the Big Bang Theory, Game of Thrones and House of Cards carry a ton of weight. Still, remember that the celebrity or brand is only as good as the fans. The fan is always right.
Science Fiction and Fantasy fans take fandom to another level. Have you heard of Firefly’s Brown Coats? Are you a Star Wars fan or a Trekkie?
Fan clubs take on many forms. Conan O’Brien calls his followers TeamCoco. You’ll find many celebrities that use Team as a hash tag. Whether the clubs are official or unofficial, they achieve the same goal.
Music, movies and television all require an audience. The entertainment industry will not survive without fans. That’s why brands bombard YouTube with ads. Don’t you hate it when the ad is longer than the video?
Click to read The Importance Of A FanBase & How to Grow One. I suggest you think like a celebrity. Why? It’s simple. Celebrities earn a good living. Just watch your expenses.
If you plan to be as a celebrity, start building your fan base now. Despite what you hear, achieving fandom takes time. You can speed it up but at what cost? Fame has a hefty price. 

Watch movies and TV for entertainment purposes as well as information. Don’t just listen to the beat. Concentrate on the lyrics. Finally, don’t forget to pause, so that you can put things in perspective.

Jennifer Aniston Vs. Angelina Jolie: Why Angelina Should Kiss Jennifer’s Feet

Jennifer Aniston Vs. Angelina Jolie

BY: GURU JAY
Photo By: Angela George


Angelina Jolie stole Brad Pitt from Jennifer Aniston. It’s okay though, because Aniston is laughing last. Although Brad and Angie make the perfect couple, Jenni is my BFF.

In the long run, I rank Jennifer Aniston higher than Angelina Jolie because of the sitcom Friends. The TV show was on air for 10 seasons. So Jenni doesn’t have to work. The actress has more royalty checks than Prince William.

In the short term, Angelina Jolie is quickly becoming the go-to-girl in Hollywood. Did you know that she’s making a name for herself as a director and producer? You have to respect the lady’s prowess but don’t discount Ms. Aniston’s career. I’m tired of Jolie lovers bashing in Jenni’s head.

Jennifer Aniston was bigger than TV. Is Angelina Jolie bigger than movies? Maybe.
                                                                     
A.J. and J.A. are fine actresses. But Jen is underpaid and Angie is overrated. Why does Angelina get the red carpet rolled out for her? Why is she so special?

No one addresses this but I will. Brad Pitt made Angelina Jolie famous. That’s right: I said it.

When Angie was going with Billy Bob Thornton she was on the D-List. After jumping on Brad’s bandwagon she made the B-list. I’m not going to get into how she made the A-list. All I can say is: her moves were carefully calculated like a Bobby Fischer chess match.

You see, she helped Billy Bob more than he helped her. Jolie started seeing Brad Pitt when he was big. Let’s go a little further. Jennifer Aniston made Brad Pitt famous.

I’m telling the truth. Hollywood ‘hookups’ are just like arraigned marriages. You won’t find Madonna dating a Baltimore Oriole. If you want a crack at the ‘Material Girl,’ bat cleanup for the New York Yankees!

Angelina Jolie is a legend. She is the most superior actress to grace the silver screen. But where are her TV credits?

There are more than 200 episodes of Friends. How many movies have Jolie been in? Not even 50.

Here is the startling reality. Jennifer Aniston has played in more movies than Angelina Jolie? + She is Rachel on Friends.

The Jennifer Aniston jokes are tiresome and unwarranted. Jennifer is not bitter. Why should she be? If anything, she is relieved. Brad was a real drag on her and a nuisance.

Aniston deserves more Oscar worthy roles. If the movie executives gave Aniston better parts she would perform to a higher degree. Jen is one of a kind, which is rare. She has a unique gift.

Not A Beauty Pageant

An actress is not a Miss America, Miss World or Miss Universe. You need true talent to make it. It’s easy for them to find a sexier girl if they want one. Don’t rely only on beauty. Play your part.

I feel sorry for the vast majority of actors. You see their faces, but you don’t know their names. Many actors are uncredited. Some screenwriters are in this same boat.

In many ways, Hollywood functions like the feudal system. Movie stars subject themselves to psychological beheadings and manipulations. It is the medieval times all over again, with the special emphasis on ‘eval’ (evil).

Jennifer Aniston has raw talent. She is more talented than Angelina. Now Jolie is sexier than Aniston and the whole state of California. But this is not a beauty pageant.

Aniston offers the complete package, while Jolie is the bomb. Angelina is the best female action star in Hollywood history. I give credit where it is due.

No one addresses this either, but I will. Fans favor Jolie for her youth. Angie is six years younger than Jen. That’s one hell of an age difference in show business! It’s only fair to compare 39 year-old Jolie to 39-year-old Aniston.

Let’s have the same conversation five years from now.

Why Should Angelina Kiss Jennifer’s Feet?
Photo By: Wikimedia Commons

Jennifer Aniston is responsible for the careers of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Do you think I’m bullshitting? Take a look at the tale of the tape.

It shouldn’t surprise you that Brad Pitt’s filmography got 1,000 times better after hooking up with Aniston. Pitt owes Aniston at least $10 million from just World War Z. Also, Brad got to be Benjamin Button because of his arraigned marriage to Jennifer. 

I’m not a fan of how Brad betrayed Jennifer. I’ll be blunt. He used her like a rag-doll. That’s why Angelina used him.

It’s funny how things work. Buddha calls it Karma. James Brown calls it payback. I call it a boomerang. 

Here’s proof Brad Pitt cheated on Aniston with Jolie. 

Wet your lips, Angelina. Tonight you’re kissing Jennifer Aniston’s toes. This isn’t a movie. Oh, by the way, how many millions have you made at the expense of Jennifer Aniston? 

Show her some respect. Write a thank you note or something. Ask Jimmy Fallon to get you started.

Seriously, the real  problem is Angelina Jolie acts entitled. She should act more humble. She may think she’s the best but Sandra Bullock is actually better.I can’t wait to write a story on Sandra.

Jennifer Lopez Vs. Justin Timberlake

Who do you like the best Jennifer Lopez or Justin Timberlake?

Jennifer Lopez

Before Beyoncé, Rihanna, Lady Gaga and Katy Perry, Jennifer Lopez entertained millions. What is more, she still wows the crowd with her versatile skills. She sings, acts, dances, produces, and judges to perfection.

JLO is simultaneously confident and humble. Did you know she began as a dancer? Yes, indeed… and, that’s why the Latina deserves our respect.

Newbies should pay close attention to her career. She turned nothing into something. And, Lopez made a lot from a little.

As a result of her success, she is internationally recognized and universally accepted. No one denies her talent. It is truly amazing to watch her in action.


Jennifer is the first to say she got it from her mama. JLO is a sweetheart. Her image is intact.

She is a fine actress and dancer.  She’s also a superb singer. You can’t say one bad thing about her.

You appreciate the fact she stays grounded. Jennifer is not vying for attention. She’s not desperate at all.

So, why can’t we get enough of her? The answer: because she is gifted. Here lies the “Kim Kardashian problem.”

You may argue Kardashian is better looking than Lopez. I give you that because Kim is younger and more self-absorbed. The two beauties are both very pleasing to the senses.

But, JLO has talent. So, JLO is way more entertaining than Kim. That’s a fact.

The Puerto Rican American Idol can do everything at a high level. There is a difference. She’s terrific in all areas.

She is one of the most talented female entertainers in show business. I believe Beyoncé is entertainer of the year though. Although I love Beyoncé, her acting is not as great as JLO. Singing is a different story. Beyoncé’s pipes are flawless.

Now, you must understand Jennifer Lopez paid her dues. She received her big break while starring in the biopic Selena. I’ve seen this movie 100 times and not by choice.

If you ever take a Spanish class, you will have to watch Selena. I didn’t mind seeing it 99 times because JLO is just awesome. But 100 times, is 1 too many.

Who remembers the Wedding Planner? Did you see the Cell, Maid in Manhattan and Monster-in-Law? Did you know Jennifer Lopez is the richest Hollywood actress?

She paved the way for Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato and Vanessa Hudgens. All three owe her a few million dollars. JLO proves you can be successful by pursuing your true love.

Currently, she is the highest paid TV judge. Why does she command $17.5 million? Part of the answer: because she is lucky.

Go to 7 Lucky Ways Celebrities Make Money. “Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.” 

My last post How to Be Famous in Seven Steps gives you a plan. JLO is more than just one of my top pop stars. She is one of my favorite entertainers. Justin Timberlake makes my list too.

Justin Timberlake

You have to see this video.


As you can see, Justin Timberlake along with Britney Spears started on the Disney channel.  Timberlake has been in the entertainment business at least 20 years. Remember, you are rewarded for longevity.

As you put more skin in the game, your name gets bigger. This is the key to fame. Ask Lady Gaga.

If you do anything long and good enough, you become an expert. It’s safe to say Justin is a premier entertainer. Like JLO, Justin has a variety of professional skills.

He sings, dances and produces. 

By the way, Timberlake is a great actor. One day I can see him winning an Oscar. He came close with the In Time movie. Nobody is more dedicated than Timberlake. He puts on his suit and tie and goes to work despite not having a typical 9 to 5 job.


Do you remember when Justin took a hiatus from singing to focus solely on acting? He gave up easy money for the sake of his profession. Talk about commitment!

His wife Jennifer Beal is in Seventh Heaven, because Justin Timberlake commits 110 percent. He hosted Saturday Night Live five times. He played in the Facebook movie. And, Justin deserves credit for his business savvy.

To the contrary, Timberlake is a better singer than actor unlike Jennifer who is a great actress. Here’s a thought: how about making a movie or music video featuring JLO and Justin. I would like to see that. Would you?

If you’re a young man, use Justin Timberlake as a role model. He takes care of business then pleasure. It should always be a pleasure doing business.

I live by the motto: be cool and have fun. Nobody has more fun than JTimberlake. He acts, sings and looks cool. The girls think he’s hot.

You know Justin was a Disney Kid. Did you also know he was in the boy band N’Sync? Here’s video proof.


Justin Timberlake is on top of the world right now. His acting career is just beginning. He’s successful because he’s rare. 

When you get famous, don’t forget to develop your talents in other areas. Not only will you make more money, you will garner more respect. Seize your opportunities like JLO and Timberlake.

Someday soon Justin will reach the point where he doesn’t have to audition. Screenwriters will write roles specifically with Timberlake in mind. Jennifer Lopez is already there and so is Jamie Foxx.

Jamie Foxx is underrated. The actor/musician/comedian wears many hats.  If you ask me, he’s probably the most gifted man in the entertainment industry. The movie Ray starring Foxx is an absolute must-see.

However, Justin Timberlake is too big to ignore. He’s the definition of mainstream. He has global appeal and world wide reach. You won’t build a brand bigger than Timberlake.

Newbies take note. He is not arrogant. He is confident and humble like Jennifer Lopez. My advice is to build your confidence and practice humility. This is all about reputation.

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.
