The Case of Tom Cruise V. Matthew McConaughey: Who is the Best Movie Lawyer?

BY: GURU JAY

The Sandra Bullock and Julia Roberts Argument
Are you a fan of Sandra Bullock and Julia Roberts? I’m a big fan. I appreciate their acting as well as their philanthropy. I like how they present themselves. 
But I’m baffled about this. Who is the best actress? I’m always on the hunt for the cream of the crop.
Even though I haven’t seen Gravity starring Sandra Bullock, I still believe she is the best in the world. Moreover, Sandra and Julia are 2 of the top 10 highest paid actresses. Bullock and Roberts have both won Academy Awards.
However, Sandra is the more perfect actress. I give her a 4.0 and Julia a 3.8. Sandra Bullock has an edge because of her diversity of roles.
If we’re strictly talking romances, Julia wins. But Bullock has proven she is the champion. Roberts and Bullock rank in my top 5 for best actresses.
Sandra took on more risks and challenges while Julia Roberts played it safe. Dare I say Julia leeched off Tom Hanks in Larry Crowne and Charlie Wilson’s War? Isn’t it obvious?
Here’s an analogy to put things in perspective for you: Tom Hanks is to Julia Roberts, what Tom Cruise is to Cameron Diaz. I have nothing against Cameron. I wrote about her.
The point is Sandra Bullock’s skills are superior to Julia Roberts right now. Five years ago this wasn’t the case. Julia Roberts was better then.
Who remembers Pretty Woman and Erin Brockovich? Don’t forget about The Blind Side. Imagine Julia and Sandra in the same movie.
At the end of the day, I put my money on Sandra Bullock. She is a hard worker who is consistent. And, she looks amazing at 50.
Tom Cruise V. Matthew McConaughey
I wonder why Cruise uses the shortened form of Thomas and why McConaughey doesn’t go by Matt. Do you know the answer? I ask because Matthew’s last name is long enough.
Just like Schwarzenegger, I “Googled,” and “Binged” his name for correct spelling. Let’s give him a nickname. How about Matt Mack?
Like his height, Tom Cruise’s name is short. You love Tom because he is a miniature Matthew. Matt is beloved for his taller stature. Anyway, they have many similarities.
Is it coincidental that these actors portray Hollywood’s finest lawyers? What if they starred in the same film? Picture this: (closed captioned) The Ultimate Lawyer Movie starring Matt McConaughey and Thomas Cruise. 
The Trailer Script
In The Ultimate Lawyer Movie Matt and Thomas are prestigious lawyers in a head to head battle. Both have distinguished law practices in Beverly Hills. Who will win in case of Cruise V. McConaughey? Written, Directed, and Produced BY: GURU JAY
I bet you that movie would gross $1 billion. Tom and Matthew are basically walking ATMs. Moreover, their fan bases span the whole globe.
They are two world heavyweight champions in the acting arenas. Matthew’s a southern boy who will seduce you with his charm. Tom’s charisma on a scale of 100 is 97.
The best movie lawyers eat charisma like cereal. George Clooney’s good. Have you seen Michael Clayton? Movie lawyers come in all types. District Attorneys are my favorite. (S/O Harvey Dent)
Of course, Tom is a top 10 actor. I don’t want to take away from his brilliance. But, why isn’t Matt on the money list? He’s won an Oscar but it seems the executives refuse to pay the piper. Let that be a lesson to actors who’d do anything for a trophy.
Lincoln Lawyer
McConaughey plays Mickey Haller, a criminal defense attorney, in Lincoln Lawyer. I’ve seen this movie twice. If you’re thinking about studying law, see this film first. You might change your mind either way.
Lawyer movies pose a real danger to America’s workforce. Everybody wants to go to law school after seeing the famous “You Can’t Handle The Truth” scene. Legal dramas such as Law & Order and Suits are also guilty of selling us pipe dreams. 40 million attorneys filing motions is the last thing we need.
Do all lawyers want to be doctors? Well, some attorneys call themselves doctors of law? Seriously, since lawyers sue hospitals, they’re all too familiar with the medical/financial benefits rewarded to brain, heart and plastic surgeons. What is more, it’s true that every doctor wants to be a trial lawyer.
Foot physicians (podiatrists) dine alongside dentists, vetenerians, optometrists, ear doctors and chiropractors at the millionaire’s club. Tom Cruise and Matthew McCanoughey inspire us to make millions while enjoying our passion.
A Few Good Men
A Few Good Men is perhaps the best courtroom drama ever. Ironically, only a few films can compete for top honors. A Few Good Men blurs the lines because it’s also a military movie.
Tom Cruise plays Judge Advocate Lieutenant Kaffee. Jack Nicholson is the infamous Colonel Jessup. Demi Moore also carries out her duties in the film. If you like courtroom dramas and army movies, then look up A Few Good Men.
John Girsham’s A Time to Kill borrows from To Kill a Mockingbird. It’s an updated version of Harper Lee’s classic. In the movie, Matthew McConaughey defends Samuel L. Jackson. The lead actress is none other than Sandra Bullock.
I respect McConaughey for his role choices. Matthew could have been a major action star on par with Bruce Willis. Instead he kept his art pure. Hence, he is an Oscar winner.
You’d think that action movies give Tom Cruise a clear advantage. To the contrary, drama and action are totally different genres. Additionally, Tom and Matt have unique styles.
Tom is aggressive and Matthew’s more assertive. Tom is the guy yelling in the courtroom. Matthew uses tactics to trap and confuse his witnesses.
Your Honor, I object
Have you noticed in movies and TV, the trial lawyer always stands and says, “Your Honor, I object?” Sometimes the witness says, “I plead the fifth.”
Verdict
In the case of Tom Cruise V. Matthew McConaughey …After carefully weighing the evidence (movie clips, filmographies, and opinions) Judge Guru Jay has a verdict…I rule in favor of Mr. McConaughey.

Top 33 Triple Threat And Multi-Talented Celebrities + Video

BY: GURU JAY

Celebrities need thick skin in order to survive the tough entertainment world. First of all, they are monitored non-stop. Did you know celebrities have more privacy in prisons than in their own homes? That’s why Justin Bieber doesn’t mind NOT passing go (directly to jail).
When celebs walk outside TMZ starts flashing cameras and asking questions. These days the Paparazzi cross lines with yellow tapes. They’re ruthless, I tell you!
But still, there’s not a celebrity on earth that would trade places with the average Joe. Planet Hollywood is a place where stars shine and fans collect autographs. Rehab is about the only place a celebrity can hide.
For the most part, celebrities are treated like royalty. And, they receive endless royalty checks. ‘Jerry Seinfeld’ makes millions from his syndicated sitcom.
For one thing, most celebs are multimillionaires. In fact, Oprah Winfrey and Steven Spielberg are billionaires. Whatever the case, celebrities teach you to persevere.
This blog post pays tribute to the top triple threat and multi-talented celebrities.
Zac Efron

All the ladies like Zac Efron. The young actor finds a way to make money. He can act, sing, dance and model. He’s a combination of Charlie Sheen and Channing Tatum.
Vanessa Hudgens
The vivacious Vanessa Hudgens is Zac Efron’s Best Friend Forever (BFF). She has a bright future. See Hottest HollywoodStarlets.
Ryan Gosling

Ryan Gosling has the whole world ahead of him. He is underpaid but sooner or later his stock will skyrocket. Read Ryan Is the New Robert for full story.
Wayne Brady

There’s a story of a man named Wayne Brady. His many talents are unfortunately not fully appreciated. What can’t he do? He’s a game show host, actor, singer and comedian.
Julianne Hough

Julianne Hough is a woman with many talents. We know her best from Dancing With the Stars. But the beauty also earns a living from her country music and acting.
Miley Cyrus                

Hannah Montanacemented Miley Cyrus’s career as an actress and singer. Now, the ‘grownup’ Miley has taken on dance. She has transformed into a twerking princess.
Janet Jackson

The soft-spoken Janet Jackson is dynamic. Pull up her YouTube Channel and watch the talented artist go to work. Miley may have stolen a few of Jackson’s moves.
Selena Gomez

Selena Gomez made a small fortune from her Disney days. Now, the starlet can sit back and watch her money grow. These Nickelodeon kids are set for life.
Hugh Jackman

Hugh Jackman (Logan/Wolverine) is very versatile. The Australian actor also finds work as a producer, singer, and dancer. He has hosted the Tony’s four times. You can’t be a one-trick pony.
Neil Patrick Harris
The three-named actor Neil Patrick Harris is a triple threat. He’s the V.I.P. of Harold & Kumar. He’s not a doctor he just plays one on TV. I just discovered that he directs, produces and sings too. 
Kate Hudson

Kate Hudson comes from a multi-talented family. Her mother is Goldie Hawn. And her father is actor, comedian, and musician Bill Hudson. It’s safe to say entertainment runs in her family. She is a fine actress. I wish her all the best in her endeavors.
Christina Applegate

Married With Children made Christina Applegate famous. Of course, we know her best as Kelly Bundy. But she is also a terrific dancer and stage performer.
Kevin Bacon

Kevin Bacon is a screenwriter’s actor. He brings his characters to life. The Hollywood star does voice acting as well. He also has a rock band called Bacon Brothers.
Justin Timberlake
Justin Timberlake owns MySpace. The savvy businessman also sings and acts. Do you doubt Timberlake’s many talents? If you do, you’re jealous. Every celebrity has his haters.
Jamie Foxx

Jamie Foxx has his own category. The multi-talented Academy Award winner has had an exceptional career. He is a legitimate force in film, comedy and music.
John Travolta
Movie star John Travolta is one of Hollywood’s biggest triple threats. What don’t you know about John? You know he acts, sings and dances. But, Travolta produces, writes, and flies a jet as well.
Amy Adams

Does the name Amy Adams ring a bell? Amy earns her paycheck the hard way. Let’s give her a round of applause.
Renee Zellweger

Let’s give Renee Zellweger a standing ovation. The creative celebrity is well known for her work as an actress. But, she also produces and lends her voice to animated films.
Madonna

The multi-talented Madonna is used to adjectives before her name. The businesswoman has brokered several key deals over the years. See blog post 10 Celebrities With the Most 2 Lose!
Meryl Streep

Meryl Streep is the director’s actress. She does everything right. Meryl’s name will live on forever. Are you familiar with her theatrical performances? Streep is highly trained.
Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lopez has a special place on my website. Check out my past blog posts about JLO. Jennifer Lopez can do no wrong as an actress, singer, dancer and entrepreneur.
Christopher Walken

Christopher Walken is one of my all time favorite actors. He has a distinct voice. I am surprised he hasn’t done any voice acting. Moreover, he is smooth. Walken writes screenplays and directs.
Sarah Jessica Parker

The three-named actress Sarah Jessica Parker is the wife of a triple threat. Sarah owes Sex and the City for her success. It is time for Sarah to get serious. Take on more challenging roles.

Steve Harvey


Where do I start with comedian Steve Harvey? He has his own talk show and is the host of Family Feud. He’s an author and a disc jockey. Harvey really does it all.
Catherine Zeta-Jones


Lately, Catherine Zeta-Jones has been busy. 2013 was one of her best years. Overall, she’s had a nice career.

Usher

Usher introduced the world to Justin Bieber. The one name star has continued his domination of music. Also, he’s playing Sugar Ray Leonard in the upcoming film Hands of Stone.
Demi Lovato


Demi Lovato found success on the Disney Channel. Is this a coincidence? No, there is actually a famous formula. Check Out How to Be Famous in Seven Steps.

Queen Latifah

Queen Latifah acts, sings, models and raps. She even has a daytime talk show. I hope she stays on the air.
Daniel Day Lewis

Daniel Day Lewis is arguably the best actor ever. No one else can compare. What is more, he is great on stage.
Sean Combs


Sean Combs goes by many names. Call him Diddy. He is a record producer, rapper, actor, dancer and businessman.

Matthew Broderick

Matthew Broderick married Sarah Jessica Parker in 1997. The star shunned the limelight in favor of peace and quiet. Don’t call the successful actor a comeback story. 
Gwyneth Paltrow

Gwyneth Paltrow acts, sings and writes. She is Beyoncé’s close friend. It makes perfect sense. You see she can teach Beyoncé how to act better. And, Beyoncé can teach Gwyneth how to sing.
Beyoncé

Beyoncé defines entertainment. The triple threat entertainer is a great singer, sensational dancer and a delightful actress. Beyoncé is a clear first choice.

Beyonce Knowles Celebs Justin Timberlake Music

Justin Timberlake Vs. Beyoncé Knowles

BY: GURU JAY

Justin Timberlake Vs. Beyoncé Knowles

Photo By: Wikimedia Commons

What do Justin Timberlake and Beyoncé Knowles have in common? How are they different? Why does JT get a free pass, and Queen Bee a bad rap?

For starters J.Timberlake and Beyoncé started from the bottom. NSYNC and Destiny’s Child launched their careers to the moon. The impact of JT and Queen Bee will live on forever.

Music is like bubble gum. It sticks with you. Do you ever find yourself listening to the same 1 song over and over?

Timberlake and Knowles make memorable music. If you don’t memorize the lyrics, you will remember the beat. If you ask me, Beyoncé is the best vocalist bar none.

Justin can’t touch Beyoncé as far as dancing. Still, he has massive sex appeal. And sex sells.

Here’s where the story gets foggy. Beyoncé used to sing about love. Now, she exclusively sings about sex.

Do you want your children to listen to Beyoncé? Do you want them to memorize Beyoncé’s lyrics verbatim? She might not want to be a role model, but she is highly influential.

Music used to be subtle. Now anything goes. Singers swear like Popeye the sailor man in real life. We have to ask ourselves how far is too far? What should we do when someone crosses the line?

Timberlake is guilty too. But, he gets a free pass. Beyoncé gets a bad rap. I guess it is due to a double standard.

As an adult, I don’t mind Timberlake or Beyoncé’s suggestive songs. But I don’t want my children listening to them. Parents are the answer. We need to step in and monitor the situation.

Music making doesn’t have to go down a narrow road. There’s plenty of room for success and error. JT and Bee are successful entertainers who’ve traveled a long journey.

Justin Timberlake has yet to rise to the height of his fame. In fact, he’s still growing. In comparison, Beyoncé is bigger than ever.

Photo By: Wikimedia Commons

Beyoncé is the new Madonna. Did you know Madonna is the highest paid celebrity? Click to read and view complete story. As you can see, Madonna has capitalized on her fame.

Beyoncé can too. I believe her name alone is worth $1 Billion. Long after retiring, she’ll still be making hundreds of millions.

Bee’s peaking and this is her year. Beyoncé is the entertainer of 2014. But, the future belongs to Justin.

The Tennessee Kid has a global following. He’s beloved in places where they don’t speak English. Music truly is universal.

I recommend starting your music career in a band. You’ll get more love. TheBeatles are a perfect example of this phenomenon.

Paul McCartney and John Lennon went solo and made more cash. George and Ringo got the short end of the stick. Although the music industry is extremely competitive, it is also very lucrative.

You can easily make $50 million per year if you’re on top of your game. Just stay dedicated and humbled. Don’t get the big head. That’s why I worry about Beyoncé.

Bee is making herself an easy target. Why do you have to brag? Everybody knows you’re rich. Beyoncé, you don’t have to prove anything to anybody.

Here’s why Justin Timberlake wins. In a recent article, I compared Timberlake to Jennifer Lopez. I feel JLO is a hard working girl. But, Justin is more talented.

I’ll be frank; Beyoncé is better than Justin talent wise. However, JT is right behind her. You see, Beyoncé is fully matured, while Justin is a rare work in progress.

It’s an interesting comparison because they appeal to a similar audience. Can you imagine a whole album full of duets and ballads by Justin and Beyoncé?

I hope the entertainment world get their acts together. Katy Perry is in her own Pluto featuring Miley Cyrus. Lady Gaga is going back in time to save Tony Bennett.

I can’t make this stuff up…really. Why is Lady Gaga all of a sudden bowing down to Tony? Even though entertainers today are weird, good music is still good music. Bad is bad.

I admire the fact Justin Timberlake and Beyoncé dress to impress. People respect these artists. You get the real deal.

A lot of music on YouTube sucks. I want to print out those lyrics and put them in the paper shredder. Fortunately, I’m an environmentalist. I won’t waste trees on nonsense.

And so, JTimberlake and Beyoncé Knowles are the last of a dying breed. Thus, they shall be worshipped for hundreds of years. In 10 years, they’ll talk about Justin like Elvis.

Beyoncé’s too hot. She’s hot as hell. She needs to cool her butt. 

Be like Alicia Keys.

Alicia is an angel with wings. She sets a good example for the youth. Her humility serves a purpose.

I’m not saying having an ego is bad. All I am saying is Bee, be easy. Nowadays everything is hard. We want things easier.

Why does a diva have to be an ass? Beyoncé’s new style needs work. In her own words, pretty hurts.

Stop hurting yourself, Beyoncé. Slow down and operate like Justin Timberlake. You’ve got what it takes.

Even though Alicia is calm, she still has a few weaknesses. I will discuss them in future articles. On the other hand, Justin Timberlake was built to last.

I can picture a 70-year-old Timberlake making #1 hits. In fairness to the queen, a man has a longer career I show business than a woman.

Beyoncé will survive. Justin Timberlake will thrive. Who knows what will happen? Take my opinions for what they are- mine.

If you worship Beyoncé, that’s your prerogative. If I worship Justin Timberlake, that’s my prerogative. It’s sad but it’s true. Everybody is looking for a celebrity to worship. Take my advice and stop it.

If you must, be your own celebrity. You’ll never fail this way. This is the Guru Jay launching off into orbit in 5-4-3-2-1! Feel free to ask questions and submit comments. Use the share buttons on the bottom.

God Save the Queen, O Canada: Who Are The Best British (UK) Actors and Canadian Comedians?

BY: GURU JAY

Everybody considers a career in acting and comedy. So, you have the chops, but do you have the X factor? What is different about you? Are you British or Canadian?

British actors and Canadian comedians have taken over Hollywood. I won’t say they are the best in the business. But, these actors and comedians are special.

British actors were born to be movie stars. Canadian comedians were born to be wild. I like to start the conversation off by discussing Daniel Day-Lewis.

Daniel Day-Lewis

Photo By: Muckster

By all standards, he is the greatest actor of all time. The Brit is the only thespian to win 3 Best Actor Academy Awards. That’s more wins than: Marlon Brando, Tom Hanks, Dustin Hoffman, Jack Nicholson, and Sean Penn.


What actor doesn’t fantasize about accepting the Oscar statue?Daniel Day-Lewis is fantastic. I recommend watching the London native in There Will Be Blood.

If you are an acting aspirant study Daniel like the bible. Try to transform into your characters. If you respect this craft, you will gain the adulation of your peers and fans.

Christian Bale

Photo By: Asim Bharwani

Christian Bale owns real estate on Hollywood Boulevard. He is a big ticket at the box office. What is more, there is a method to his madness. He is a fine method actor.

The thespian is true to his art. He goes to the extreme with his preparation. And, directors and producers love this about him. No one is more dedicated than a Christian.

There won’t be a better Batman than Christian Bale. Ben Affleck is swimming in deep water, when he needs to tread lightly in a lake. YES, Affleck is a great actor, but he is NO Christian Bale.

Colin Farrell

Photo By: David Shankbone

The fighting Irishman Colin Farrell is a worthy contender. His popularity has soared ever since the notorious sex tape surfaced. 
A lot of actors coast by on their good looks and sex appeal.

Colin Farrell is guilty as charged. He is a former Hollywood heavyweight champion. Plus he is a prince of the underground entertainment world.

Colin Farrell’s filmography is rated R. He’s a niche actor, which is not a knock. In fact, he is one of the greatest modern day crime genre actors. If you haven’t seen Miami Vice, go see it.

Sean Connery


Sean Connery also known as James Bond #007 is a living legend. 

If you can name 1 bad Connery movie, you deserve a handsome reward. Seriously, you should study Sir Sean like a final exam.

You can spend a week watching Sean Connery’s movies. Connery is the reason why Pierce Branson was the best James Bond.  Connery has helped many movie stars reach the next level.

I admire how Sir Thomas Sean Connery stayed true to his roots. Most foreign actors have to develop a phony American accent in order to compete. Connery broke the rules and succeeded.

Seth Rogen

Photo By: Philkon

Like most comics, Seth Rogen is a funny person. Who can forget Rogen’s performance in Funny People starring Adam Sandler?  I also liked Pineapple Express. Seth’s stock is rising like Facebook.

As a result of smart work, Seth is in rocket high demand.
Does it take a rocket scientist to tell Seth is Canadian? I stand by my statement: Canadian comedians are special.

Vancouver is Seth Rogen’s hometown. I didn’t even realized that they spoke English over there. Still Seth Rogen commands the English tongue like Captain Ahab commanded the seas.

Mike Myers

Photo By: Joella Marano

Celebrity net worth estimates Mike Myers’ net worth at $175 million. Like it or not he is my colleague and The Love Guru.  
I’ll be frank, Myers can pick and choose his projects.

The Scarborough native is the perfect pedigree. He is a Canadian born to be wild. The Shrek franchise alone is valued at almost $1.5 BillionAnother all time top film franchise is Austin Powers.

I want to see more of Mike Myers. Come out of your semi-retirement and do a few movies with your Canadian pals. Please.

Howie Mandel

Photo By: Matt Ottosen

He’s opposed to high fives, handshakes and germs in general. Howie Mandel is a humorous character. He can turn on the funny like a remote controller. He has a good brand and a motormouth.

Howie is goofy. For the record, I hated Deal or No Deal. I thought it was one of the dumbest shows. I still watched it though because my family did. For some reason, the bald one is a good host.

Today, you’ll find the Toronto homey on America’s Got Talent…It’s a much better show by the way. I like it because it’s fun. Also, Howie Mandel is the gel (no-pun) that holds the hair together.

Jim Carrey

Photo By: Georges Biard

Jim Carreyis Canada’s finest production. In all fairness, Justin Bieber and Drake are just beginning. Carrey can call it quits whenever he feels like it. Jim is Mike Myers + 1.

Carrey never retired. And, as a result he never gets tired. He’s highly active and always on the scene. I wonder if his mouth ever got stuck while making those silly faces

His name pops up whenever I write about comedy. Technically, Jim Carrey is an American citizen. And so, I claim Jim Carrey.

This list is not exhaustive. I did not intend to identify all the greats. I desired to give you a good overview and feel. I didn’t mention Anthony Hopkins, Michael Caine or James MaCavoy. I also didn’t mention comedians Martin Short, Russell Peters or Michael Cera.

The next time you are watching a British actor or Canadian comedian perform, realize this is a special moment. I don’t know what it is about the United Kingdom and Canada. But, I do know I can text Christian Bale and Seth Rogen and they will reply.

Maybe Leona Lewis will sing “God Save the Queen” as a personal favor. While I’m at it, I’ll have Celine Dion sing “O Canada.” In the words of Austin Powers, yeah baby!

Here’s a riddle. What is sexier than a British accent? And, what is funnier than a Canadian joke? Answer: This is The Guru Jay.

This is The Guru Jay launching off to outer space in 5-4-3-2-1. Feel free to comment and ask questions. Thank you for reading and sharing. Meet me @ Mars.

Al Gore Bill Clinton Celebs Easter environment Famous golf Good Health Ham lifestyle No Meat Vegans Vegetarians

33 Celebrity Vegans

By: Guru Jay

Obsessive Compulsive Order

Celebrities live a glamorous lifestyle. The Hollywood stars sacrifice good tasting food for nutrition. Each celebrity has a different reason for eating healthy.

Some have experienced health scares such as Bill Clinton. You will find it is important to nurture the body. You don’t need sodium and sugar.

I advise you to stay away from fattening foods. Let me be candid. I’m not a vegan or vegetarian. So, I’m not going to tell you to become one.

But, I do try to eat healthy, which means I eat more good stuff than bad. In my How to Be Healthy blog, I proclaimed that 2014 is our year for staying in good health.

In my article, I suggested playing golf. Golf is the ultimate social sport. You not only network but you get a moderate level of exercise at the same time. If you just work out a little, that can have a big impact.

You can find many celebrities on the golf course. Samuel L. Jackson obsesses over the game. Tons of celebrity golf tournaments are held every year. Many proceeds go to charities.

You can learn a lot from celebrities. They can teach you how to live a healthy lifestyle. Many celebrities are obsessed with being healthy.

Obsess over your health. If you start now it’s better than not starting at all. Remember, every bit helps.

I don’t think obsessing over health is a bad thing. Sure, you can take anything to an extreme. But, trying to naturally live longer is a worthy cause.

Count on the following celebrities to chug down a pitcher of vegetable juice daily. You won’t ever have to thump them on the head and say, “you could have had a V8.”

Don’t Thump My Forehead



1. Alicia Silverstone

Photo By: RavenU

The Clueless star is not clueless when it comes to good health. So, don’t thump her on the forehead. She’s not dumb.

Silverstone wrote The Kind Diet in 2009. She stayed vegan her entire pregnancy. One thing she preaches is limiting calorie intake.

I recommend you get an app that keeps track of your calories.

She is one of the most famous pregnant vegans. Moreover, she made a decision that impacted her as well as her children. Kudos, Alicia!



2. Olivia Wilde


Photo By: Cristiano Del Riccio

Olivia Wilde did the opposite of Alicia Silverstone. She has always been a vegan. But, she decided to ditch the life while pregnant.  

The fact she is ditching the Vegan lifestyle for nine months is breaking news in the Vegan World. Here is what Olivia had to say, “[Being vegan] is not always easy and accessible. But it’s a way of life and makes me as a person feel really good and physically look better.” You see, she has a valid point.



3. Common

Photo By: Kelsey Marie Bell

Chicago Rapper/Actor Common is a well-known vegan in the Hip Hop Community. His name comes from the word commonsense. That’s why it makes sense he is a vegan.

In my how to be healthy photos, I endorsed drinking almond milk. You see, when you’re a vegan you stay away from all animal products. This means you can’t drink milk from a cow.

That’s why you have to respect celebrities like Common for embracing a challenging but meaningful way of life.



4. Woody Harrelson

Photo By: David Shankbone

What’s not to love about Woody Harrelson? He’s a great actor, a vegan, and a charitable celebrity.

It is wonderful to know Woody is trying to live better. At times, we may make bad choices. You could choose to have a slice of cake you should have a slice of vegetable pie.

It’s crucial you don’t beat up yourself. Harrelson doesn’t. He admits to having multiple vices. Just make sure you have a few virtues to offset your vices.



5. Joss Stone

Photo By: Patrik Hamberg

Joss Stone is 26 and she’s a vegan. She is also an awesome singer. She is able to influence the next generation. Let’s hope she stays on the right path.

Becoming vegan is a solution to health problems. Try adopting the vegan lifestyle for a couple of weeks. That’s what Jay Z and Beyonce did.

Of course, Joss Stone is a vegan for life. Who knows? She may live to 100.



6. Mike Tyson


Photo By: Octal@Flickr

Hey, are you really thinking about thumping Mike Tyson’s forehead? If you do, it will most likely be your last thumping; because, you’re going to get thumped up messing with Mike Tyson.

You probably never guessed Mike Tyson was a vegan. But, it kind of makes sense. It’s no secret the athlete/actor loves pigeons. And, the former heavyweight champion does not try to hide his affection for animals.

So, it’s clear he is a vegan. In the future, let’s say in 200 years, I believe the majority of the world will be vegan. It’s good to see athletes living the vegan lifestyle.


7. Carrie Underwood


Don’t thump Carrie Underwood’s forehead either. The American Idol has been a vegetarian since the age of 13. Imagine ten million 13 year old vegans.

It takes courage to announce to the world you are a vegan. That’s exactly what Underwood has done. There’s no turning back she can’t renege now.

As an American Idol winner, Underwood is a role model. She sets an example for the youth.  We need more role models like her.



8. Joaquin Phoenix



Photo By: Tony Shek

Golden Globe Award Winning Actor Joaquin Phoenix has been a vegan since the age of three. In fact, his whole acting family is vegan. I’m in no shape or form a PETA fan. However, I feel animals should be treated ethically.

Joaquin Phoenix and his siblings realized the importance of ethical treatment of animals at an early age.



9. Paul McCartney

Legendary Beatle Paul McCartney is a famous vegan. In the words of the great, Let it Be. McCartney’s career is exceptional because he makes music with a message.

Paul and Bono are in a league of their own. They are both humanitarians. Vegans are helping make the world a better place.




10. Bill Clinton


Former Leader of the Free World Bill Clinton is the most famous vegan. He used to eat a ton of barbecue until doctors advised him to eat healthier. Lately, it seems Clinton is more vibrant and smoother than ever.

Right now, health is President Clinton’s primary concern. By looking at him, you would never guess he had emergency heart surgery in 2004. He shows us that it is never too late to start living healthier.




11. Al Gore


Finally, Vice President Al Gore is a vegan. Of course, he is most famous as an Environmentalist. He won a Nobel Peace Prize for his documentary Inconvenient Truth.

One way to protect the environment is to not eat the creatures. It’s good to see the former president and vice president agreeing on a bipartisan issue.


I can’t tell you to be a vegan, because I am not a vegan. But, I can tell you it is an excellent lifestyle choice. These celebrities have proven you don’t need meat to eat well. Stay tuned for part 2. Coming soon!

Top 50 Celebrities Around the World

BY: GURU JAY

Around the World In Hollywood, Bollywood, Nollywood, Chollywood and Zollywood

Stop Stressing


You don’t have to worry about anything. Cast all your worries in the deep blue sea. Take time to focus on what matters most.

Your health is important. So, stop stressing. Take a break. You deserve it.

After a stressful day, most people want to be entertained. You might have the most stressful job in the world. But after turning on your computer and television stress is no longer a factor of the equation.

Celebrities entertain us. Part of their job description is to make people happy. If you’re feeling sad or lonely, maybe a funny movie will lift your spirits.

Recently, I wrote an article about how to be a celebrity. I defended Justin Bieber, because he is unfairly criticized in the media. In today’s blog, we will identify more than 50 celebrities around the world.

Our list was composed using a variety of sources. I made this list, because I couldn’t find anything else like it on the Internet. I organized the celebrities in descending order.

World Tour        

Let me take you on a world tour of Hollywood, Bollywood, Nollywood and Chollywood. We’re stopping by the biggest celebrity mansions and bachelor pads. On our way I’ll show you only the best.

Oh, did you want to see Lady Gaga’s Beverly Hills mansion? You might as well. We’re travelling around the whole world.

The next stop is Tennis superstar Roger Federer’s Dubai home. Of course, he has a Tennis court! Where else can we go?

I know. Let’s go to China and look at Jackie Chan’s rock collection. I thought you’d like that.

While we’re in Asia we might as well go to India and check out Bollywood Actor Amitabh Bachchan’s Rolls Royce. Boy, is he living the good life!

Celebrities all around the world love luxury. You can always catch the ladies wearing expensive clothes or sporting a brand new luxurious handbag. It’s the way they live. They live a high-price lifestyle.

I want our trip to be entertaining as well as informative. You will receive the royal treatment. We can check in and check out where Prince William used to reside

I’ve heard there is 24-hour room service here. Also, we have a personal chef, masseuse, butler, maid, and chauffer.

Our personal chef can cook you anything you desire. Our masseuse can relax your muscles with her arms and hands. Our staff is here to serve you.

What more do you want? The top celebrities live a luxurious lifestyle. Money is not an object to them. They make millions of dollars per year.

We all could use the money minus the fame that comes with it. It’s no secret that famous people are constantly monitored by the paparazzi. As a celebrity, you’re always on camera.

You can go to the most isolated island on the planet and the cameramen will follow you there. In many cases, the paparazzi will already be there awaiting to snap pictures upon your arrival.

The Price of Fame

The price of fame is not monetary. You pay in other ways. How many times have actors auditioned only to hear the word no? You cannot fear rejection, if you want to be a celebrity.

You may have all the talent in the world and still not get the role. The main thing is that you persevere. If you work hard enough, eventually you’ll get rewarded.

Stay true to yourself. We can learn from celebrities how to act in public. Ok, well not every celebrity. But, you get my drift.

Whenever Beyoncé walks out her home all eyes are glued on her butt. She doesn’t have the same type of privacy as an ordinary person. Wherever she goes, TMZ is tracking her. 

The price of fame is astronomical. You have to make sacrifices. No one ever said it is easy being a celebrity. But, at the same time it’s fun.

You have to weigh the horses to determine if entering the race is worth the hassle. You can lead the horse to the gate, but you can’t make her win. You ought to get off the high horse if you’re afraid of falling.

At times it seems easy to be a celebrity. But, it’s not. It’s a lot of hard work. But, if you stick with the plan you’ll be a celebrity in no time.

Who Wants To Be A Celebrity?

Everyone wants to be a celebrity. Celebrities are literally worshipped. If you don’t believe me, log into Twitter.

Go to Beyoncé’s Twitter. How many followers does Bey have? Go to another celebrity on our list. How many followers do they have? How many accounts are they following?

As you can see (on Twitter), The entertainment world is huge. There are tens of thousands of actors in Hollywood alone. But, this blog entry is bigger than Los Angeles.

Around The World

Our top 50 list covers the whole world. Continent by continent, country by country: I breakdown the best celebrities around the world.

I watch films and listen to music in foreign languages. I do this because I like learning new words. I don’t desire fluency in every language.

Hearing new sounds is intriguing. I love listening to French because it’s the language of love. Just saying a few words, in French to my girlfriend, is a good way to make the mood more intimate.

As a bonus, I have included a list of the top five French celebrities. At the top of the list is Eva Green. She is famous for her role in 300: Rise of an Empire.

Green plays the historical Artemisia in 300. She has proven why she belongs on the list of the world’s top celebrities. The elegant Eva was also a James Bond’s girl in the 2006 movie Casino Royale.

I’ve found some phrases are best said in their native tongues. Language is often lost in translation. However, the genius of languages is that emotions are universal.

The body language of love in India is the same as in China. The intensity of anger in the United States is the same as in Nigeria. A smile has the same connotation everywhere.

Let me take you around the world. Let me introduce you to celebrities you otherwise would not have known. You probably are familiar with their faces. But, you don’t know all of their names.

I don’t blame you one bit. This list was created as a reference and a guide. Furthermore, you can use our list if you ever travel around the world.

Nollywood (Africa)

My family and I have Netflix subscriptions. I noticed Netflix has a database of foreign movies. They have movies from all over the globe, including Africa.

Several of these films are from Nollywood. Nollywood is a portmanteau. It’s a combination of Nigeria and Hollywood into one.

I recommend watching foreign movies. You may have to put the captions on; but you will enjoy them. Moreover, many African films are in English. Mind you, they don’t have the best diction. It is still entertaining.

The Top African celebrity is Chinua Achebe. The 84 year-old is a world-renowned novelist. He is most famous for his 1958 novel Things Fall Apart. He also won the 1989 Nobel Prize in Literature.

The singer Akon is ranked number five. Although he was born in St. Louis, Missouri he has Senegalese roots. Both of his parents are from Senegal. He is categorized as African for the purpose of our list.

10. Femi Kuti
9. Oumou Sangare
8. Yvonne Chaka Chaka
7. Salif Keita
6. Wole Soyinka
5. Akon
4. Angelique Kidjo
3. Didier Drogba
2. Youssou N’dour
1. Chinua Achebe

“Zollywood” (Brazil)

I invented the portmanteau “Zollywood.” I combine the word Brazil with Hollywood. Maybe, it will catch some steam.

Brazil is a place where they harvest sugarcane as well as celebrities. The Brazilian people are beautiful. Number four on our list is the eye-catching model Gisele Bundchen.

The talented Ivete Sangalo ranks ninth in Zollywood. She is a powerful Brazilian singer with international appeal. I am shocked she is not ranked higher on the list.

Paulo Coelho, a man that writes beautiful words, is second on our list. He definitely has the power of the pen. He is a modern day Brazilian William Shakespeare. You should read the Alchemist if you have the chance.

Because Brazil is a land filled with superb soccer (football) players, many athletes make our list such as Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and Kaká. Soccer (football) prowess is a big reason the world loves Brazil. 

In fact, the top celebrity on our Brazilian list is the great soccer legend Pele. Also, billionaire TV host Silvio Santos squeezes into the Top 50.

10.  Silvio Santos
9.  Ivete Sangalo
8. Kaká
7. Ronaldinho
6.  Ronaldo
5. Roberto Carlos
4. Gisele Bundchen
3. Neymar
2. Paulo Coelho
1. Pele

“Chollywood” (China)

China’s Hollywood is well populated. The celebrity Fan Bingbing 范冰冰 is cream of the crop. The Beijing News ranked her first on the “50 most Beautiful People in China” list.

Fan Bingbing is the face of China. The thirty two-year-old actress is idolized in Mainland China. She is also a singer and producer.

Martial artist and actor Jackie Chan comes in fourth on the “Chollywood” list. Chan has a global following. He has acted in not only Chinese films but in American movies as well.

Did you know that Jackie Chan is a comedian and singer too? On an international scale, Chan is first in China. The world appreciates his body of work in the Rush Hour franchise.

It is shocking Jet Li is not on the Chinese list. He has an international audience a lot like Jackie Chan. Jet Li apparently isn’t as popular in China as he is worldwide.

I wrote an article titled Top Ten Foreign Language Films. Number one on the list is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Can you guess who stars in this film? None other than Zhang Ziyi, who holds a rank in the middle of our Top 50.

10. Lin Chi-ling 林志玲
9. Jolin Tsai
8. Huang Xiaoming黃曉明
7. Yang Mi楊冪
6. Eason Chan陳奕迅
5. Zhang Ziyi章子怡
4. Jackie Chan
3. Andy Lau 

2. Jay Chou 周杰倫

1. Fan Bingbing 范冰冰

Bollywood (India)

Bollywood is the Indian Hollywood. Show business in India is growing fast. A number of actors from India have made a stop at Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles.

You have to respect the Indian movie industry. Bollywood is becoming a major global industry. The International Business Times speculates that in two years Bollywood will bring in $5 billion annually.

Currently, India’s Hollywood is generating over $3.5 billion. Actor Shah Rukh Khan helps make this possible. He is a top five global celebrity. Katrina Kaif comes in ninth on the Bollywood list.

10. Hrithik Roshan
9. Katrina Kaif
8. Ranbir Kapoor
7. Virat Kohli
6. Akshay Kumar
5. Amitabh Bachchan
4. Sachin Tendulkar
3. Salman Khan
2. Mahendra Singh Dhoni
1. Shah Rukh Khan

Hollywood (United States)

Here is Hollywood, the mother of all entertainment. You would have to go back to the Shakespearean days in order to compare it to a summer’s day. The Los Angeles district wears its badge, as the entertainment capital of the world, proudly.

Oprah Winfrey is queen. Lady Gaga is the princess. Steven Spielberg is king. And, Justin Bieber is the prince.

The following celebrities are the most recognized in the United States. Popular daytime TV host Ellen DeGeneres is in the bottom 50, mainly because of the competitive nature of Hollywood. In other words, it’s fairly difficult to make the top ten in America.

Notably, there is only one athlete on this list- Roger Federer. Furthermore, Federer is Swiss.

I was shocked to see Madonna at number five on the list. But, you have to remember at one time she was first. Madonna is an icon much like Marilyn Monroe.

The beautiful Beyoncé Knowles is fourth. Beyoncé is a triple threat. She sings, dances and acts. I feel she should have been in the top three. But, the global ranking is bigger than my opinion.

10. Ellen DeGeneres
9. Justin Bieber
8.  Roger Federer
7. Bon Jovi
6. Taylor Swift
5. Madonna
4. Beyoncé Knowles
3. Steven Spielberg
2. Lady Gaga
1. Oprah Winfrey

Honorable Mentions

Japanese

Just in case you travel to Japan, the following top five is a good reference. These five celebrities are acknowledged as the top five in Japan. You may want to learn these names.

Cutie pie Haruka Ayase is first on our Japanese list. The other celebrities are: Keiko Kitagawa, Yui Aragaki, Aoi Miyazaki and Namie Amuro. Japan has a mini Hollywood.

Mexican

Selena Gomez is first on the Mexican list. She is only 21 years old but has incredible star power. Her Come & Get It YouTube video has more than 224 million views.

Demi Lovato is in fifth place. The singer of Skyscraper VEVO video has been viewed 124 million times. She is the same age as Selena Gomez. I think that in due time she will surpass Selena and become the nuevo numero uno in Mexico.

5. Demi Lovato
4. Ricardo Montalbán
3. Eva Longoria
2. Cheech Marin
1. Selena Gomez

French

Emma Watson, 23, is second in France. Do you see a pattern? Young

Office Mojo is a reputable source.
