Celebrating Beautiful Asian Actresses: Lucy Liu, Sandra Oh, and Maggie Q

BY: GURU JAY

Critics consider Lucy Liu to be the best Asian actress. The Charlie’s Angels star proves she belongs in the top actress conversation by demonstrating her incredible talent. In addition, her Kill Bill performances are memorable because you hardly ever see the Asian actress play villainous.
How many times must I mention that I love Lucy for you to believe me? I believe Lucy Liu inspires millions of aspiring actresses regardless of race. Also, the lovely actress has played in numerous mega budget movies.
That’s why we are familiar with her face.

And the world recognizes her star power. In a sense, Lucy Liu is symbolic. She represents noble ideas such as tranquility and patience.

I used to watch Grey’s Anatomy sometimes because of Sandra Oh. I thought, “There goes a woman with beauty and brains.” For a long time, she was the most prominent Asian actress on network TV.
Although, her character is off the air, Sandra Oh stays on our minds. Sandra strived to give fans a realistic perception of Asian women.
Again, I was never a Grey’s Anatomy fanatic. Though, I remember encountering a variety of fanatics in college. Picture 30+ 18- 21 year-olds crowded around a TV set watching a dramatic TV show about doctors. Sandra Oh helped create those super fans.

Maggie Q kicked ass on Nikita. She was unbelievable at times. If Nikita were on ABC, NBC, or cable, then it probably would have lasted 4 more seasons. I wouldn’t have let the gorgeous Maggie Q’s beauty go to waste.
Who is better than Maggie as the slender body lead character? Did you know she started modeling in 1996? Jackie Chan discovered Maggie Q around this time. Remember, “Luck is when preparation meets opportunity.”
Finally, at Guru Jay we celebrate Lucy Liu, Sandra Oh, and Maggie Q for their excellence.

Why Keanu Reeves Is Unstoppable

BY: GURU JAY

  
Keanu Reeves movies regularly exceed expectations. You can expect a tremendous effort from him. Plus, he deserves kudos for his longevity.
The first Keanu Reeves movie I remember seeing is Speed. This classic film won 2 Oscars, and made more than $350 million. Sandra Bullocktagged along for the thrilling ride.
Of course, Keanu is most famous for The Matrix. Haven’t we all dodged bullets in slow motion like Neo? From Australia to Zimbabwe, people appreciate his contribution on film.

What is more, Reeves has built a reputation off camera as a kind and generous man. Have you read this article about how the celebrity gave away $75 million? He treats others with respect and dignity.
It’s not surprising that many celebs are assholes. Don’t dare call them out on their bullshit or you’ll suffer the consequences. You need snake skin and your vitamins to make it in Hollywood.
Keanu Reeves became famous differently. He received a big break as a lead actor in the instant 1989 hit Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure. The movie grossed over $40 million with only a $10 million budget.


Did you like A Scanner Darkly? I believe it was a solidly written script by Richard Linklater. However, I dislike the special effects and animation.
I like Street Kings and John Wick because the movies showcase his original talent. You won’t find another movie star who could have played those roles better than Keanu. This thespian puts his heart and soul into his performances.

If you desire a more family friendly film, I recommend Hardball. Ironically, this movie displays Keanu’s softer side. Critics severely and unjustifiably underrate his acting range.
Keanu Reeves exceeds expectations because he is confident in his abilities. We’ve seen him perform wonders in front of cameras. That’s why he is unstoppable.

Best Blog Canadian Celebs Carrie Underwood Celeb News Celebs Celine Dion CMA Awards Come On Over Entertainment Guru Jay Luke Bryan Music pop stars Rock This Country Shania Twain Singers Updates

Why Shania Twain Is Still Phenomenal

BY: GURU JAY


The next generation of music all stars is stepping up to the plate. There should be a music World Series. Can you picture veteran Shania Twain giving commentary on her pastime?
Shania laid the tracks down for Taylor Swift to crossover. With a name like Twain you can’t write lame lyrics. That’s why “you’re still the one,” Shania!
Previously, I published an in-depth piece on Celine Dion. People like comparing and contrasting Twain and Dion. I may write a Vs. article featuring the fellow Canadians later.


Right now, it is Shania Twain’s time to shine.

She recently wrapped up her Rock This Country tour in spectacular fashion. This expert performer is always superb and never tense.
Isn’t Shania Twain still phenomenal? Can you guess her age? I’m convinced Shania, Cameron Diaz, and Jennifer Lopez discovered the Fountain of Youth and kept it secret.
Did you know that Shania Twain is the best selling female act in history? Her Come On Over album sold over 40 million copies. How much more commercially successful can you get?

There is a genuine feel to the Shania Twain listening experience. How often have we heard From This Moment On at high school graduations? Her music connects with us at every stage of life. It would be a dream come true if Shania sings at my wedding.
The number of great entertainers originating out of Canada is surprising. It’s an impressive list including Justin Bieber, Avril Lavigne, Michael J. Fox, The Weeknd, Jim Carrey and more. Canada gives birth to several of the world’s most beloved entertainers.
The CMA Awards take place on November 4. Luke Bryan and Carrie Underwood will host. Both artists have expressed their admiration of Twain.

Whether she is performing or signing autographs (or both simultaneously), Shania Twain is still phenomenal.

Blake Shelton Boys Round Here Celeb News Celebs Country Singers Entertainment News Guru Jay Hollywood Stars Luke Bryan Luke Bryan Vs. Blake Shelton Music Play It Again Sangria Strip It Down The Voice

Luke Bryan Vs. Blake Shelton

BY: GURU JAY

  
Right now, the two biggest names in country music are Luke Bryan and Blake Shelton. Who has the edge? Who is the best singer?
Shelton started singing professionally in 2001, while Bryan began in 2007. As a result, The Voice coach has recorded 9 studio albums; and, the Play It Again artist only has 5 to his credit. I believe experience and output play major parts in determining who is better.
My cousins follow Blake Shelton on social media. I frequently find his posts on their profiles. Without question, the Oklahoman’s music permeates across the country via Internet.
Who remembers radio? Nowadays, streaming music is popular. 
You rarely find a Luke Bryan Vs. Blake Shelton post because they are amicable. They have even performed on stage together. Still, Bryan and Shelton deal in a competitive business. There is only one top dog in every genre.

Did you know that they are both the same age? However, standing at 6’5”, Blake has a height advantage over the 6’0” Luke. I like Luke’s lyrics better, but Blake carries a catchier tune.

Sometimes, Shelton’s songs seem silly because he tries to appeal to a young demographic. I’m all for mainstream, but not at the expense of authenticity. Music should represent real life.
Both guys make awesome music. Moreover, they sound quite similar. While Luke Bryan is a hotter brand, Blake Shelton is more durable.
In entertainment, things can change in a blink of an eye. One minute celebrities are hot topics, the next second they are Dancing with the Washed-Up Has-Beens. That’s why durability is more precious than trends.

Have you seen the Strip It Down video yet? Watch it here, now.

  
I believe it’s a close call but Luke Bryan wins. Yes, Blake benefits from The Voice. But his extra commitments give Luke the edge.

Becky G Celebs Chris Rock Empire Fox Network Guru Jay Latinas Lee Daniels Ludacris Music Pitbull ratings Recaps Rolling Stone Season 2 synopsis Taraji P. Henson Terrence Howard TV TV Drama

Who’s Watching Empire Season 2?

BY: GURU JAY

The second season of Empire is shattering records. Although the first two episodes started slowly, the third episode was incredible. And last night’s episode set the tone.
We’re learning more details about Lucious Lyon. The writers use flashbacks to allow viewers to piece together Lyon’s puzzling past. You gain a strong understanding of his complex relationships with family and music.
More TV shows should consider having limited commercial interruption like Empire. I believe producers have the viewers in mind. They’re obviously listening to constructive criticism too.

Synopsis
Where do I begin because there’s so much drama? Let’s see, Andre and his wife dig up Vernon in order to save his daddy’s ass. Now, the big-breasted prosecutor doesn’t have a case against Lucious because her snitch is dead.

Cookie and Hakeem started a new record label called Dynasty. And Hakeem is hell-bent on forming an all Latina music group. Unfortunately, his father buys every urban radio station and blackballs him from the air. On top of that, he signs Hakeem’s lead singer (Becky G) to Empire.

The frustrated Hakeem stabs Jamal’s giant Rolling Stone photo at their music video shooting. At one point the rapper grabs a baseball bat when attacking his brother. I guess the brothers are not gonna work it out.

On the sidebar, Chris Rock, Ludacris, Pitbull, NeYo and more celebrities make appearances.

Meanwhile, Cookie believes Lucious plans to destroy her startup company by hiring thugs to rob her office. Don’t fret because Cookie is packing heat. Now, her distrust of Lucious has reached a new high.
Jamal catches his boyfriend receiving a sex act from the Rolling Stone photographer. And Andre invites the Lyons to his baptism. Surprisingly, everyone including Lucious comes.

That’s only the half of it. The new trailer shows that Hakeem’s been kidnapped. You’ll have to wait until November 4th to see what happens. You can check out my previous Empire posts here: Who’s Watching Empire?, Who’s Watching Empire Part II?, Who’s Watching Empire Part III?

Wesley Snipes: Back in Action

BY: GURU JAY
                                  

Wesley Snipes is back in action. Right now, you can watch Wesley in the new hit TV show The Player. The Hollywood king has made a triumph return to filming. 

Every actor respects him because he’s the best. He is charismatic and dynamic. Who remembers Money Train, Liberty Stands Still, and Murder at 1600?
If studio executives want an amazing talent, they know where to find Wesley. Snipes usually plays good guys, but’s he’s also proven he can act “bad.” For instance, in Sugar Hill, Snipes stars as a narcotics kingpin.
Plus, he entertains everybody by showcasing his martial arts techniques. Sylvester Stallone is extremely lucky Snipes signed up for Expendables 3. But Blade is his calling card.
In addition, the actor is a convincing athlete. The Fan and White Men Can’t Jump are prime examples. Who can compete with Wesley’s unique filmography?

Mother and daughter appreciate his fine art. After watching at least 20 Wesley Snipes movies, I’ve never seen a flop. Wesley flips, but he doesn’t flop.
It’s a shame Mo Better’ Blues is the only movie he filmed with Denzel Washington. Hollywood needs to get its act together (pun intended). Wouldn’t you rather see a supreme actor instead of another superhero blockbuster?

Moviegoers are owed movie stars. Although I like watching Wesley Snipes every week in The Player, I’d prefer seeing him in more movies.
Actors are the gel that lubricates a movie’s wheel. You can’t reinvent the wheel. Also, if ain’t broke don’t fix it.
I’m in favor of top actors taking pay cuts only if CEOs take them too. This greedy business of finding cheap talent and giving corporate bonuses needs to stop. It is severely affecting the quality and experience of the show.

In a nutshell, we should anticipate the next Wesley Snipes and not the new Spider-Man.

Back to the Future Back to the Future Day Celebs Doc Hollywood Ellen DeGeneres Family Ties Guru Jay Inspiration Jimmy Kimmel Michael J. Fox Movies Parkinson's disease Spin City time travel

It’s a Celebration of Michael J. Fox!

BY: GURU JAY

  

Today October 21, 2015 marks a prophetic date from Back to the Future. Fans call this “Back to the Future Day.” You’ll read about this all over the Internet. Plus, you’ll hear about this on all of the cable news channels and every major TV network worth its weight in salt.
This post pays tribute to the one and only Michael J. Fox.
Michael J. Fox remains my favorite celebrity since childhood. Who can forget about Life with Mikey? Growing up, I used to watch Family Ties reruns and Spin City episodes with a passion. Man, TV was a lot different then. I can’t tell you how many times I saw the Back to the Future franchise on TBS, NBC, ABC and ‘you pick a station.’

 

I’ve been wanting to blog about Michael J. Fox for months. I couldn’t pick a better time than now to publish this post. Sometimes, you have to go with the flow and surf the waves.
It’s a celebration of Michael J. Fox here at Guru Jay. This phenomenal person happens to be a phenomenal actor as well. Despite living with Parkinson’s disease, Michael continues to shine his light. I don’t believe that he realizes his powerful effect on people as an actor and advocate.

A few years ago, I recall watching Doc Hollywood with my mom and big brother during a snowy winter night. It was right around Christmas and we were in the spirit eating cookies and drinking hot chocolate. We watched a lot of movies around this time, but I only remember seeing Doc Hollywood.

You see just when we thought we had seen every Michael J. Fox movie we came across Doc Hollywood On Demand. Watching this movie remains one of the best family bonding moments because of Michael J. Fox’s perseverance. I didn’t know while filming that the actor started showing symptoms for the first time and trembling. In spite of physical challenges, Michael J. Fox delivered a body of work to behold. Celebrate Michael J. Fox for his acting and activism.
