Pitbull raps fast. Drake switches up his pace. The Cuban rapper uses speed to try and knockout the Canadian. In the end, who wins the rap battle?

Prepare for the unexpected when dealing with Drake. Can you explain the magnitude of his creativity? His lyrics contain poisonous words.

Like an anaconda, Drake attacks with bad intentions. Don’t play poker with the financially ‘Successful’ singer. He goes all in every hand.

Toronto supports Drake 100 percent. Also, Latinos and the urban youth respect Pitbull. What club doesn’t play either star’s music?

I’ve always said the Miami rapper should marry Jennifer Lopez. They make moving music like seasoned salsa partners. It takes two to tango. And, JLO has Pitbull’s phone number.

Have you seen Drake’s Sprite commercial? While rapping in the studio, he takes a break to obey his thirst. His song ‘Over’ forever changed rap music’s sound.

Like Prince, Drake’s songs are sensational. There are too many major Drake hits to name them all. What is more, he stays potent.

If Usher’s the club’s DJ then Pitbull’s the promoter. It’s a thrilling experience when Pitbull grabs the mic. For a moment you enter into his world, and see the bright lights through his sunglasses.

You speak a little Spanish now too.

Pitbull is the ideal celebrity because he constantly celebrates. If you’re in a festive mood, listen to a Pitbull album. Rapping for the Cuban is a deadly art form. He cremates competition with his fiery words like a dragon.

Pitbull understands his role on the entertainment scene. Who comes close to Pitbull’s pedigree? Who is more energetic?

The entertainer plays verbal gymnastics with words. Wait for his dismount. In contrast, Drake’s got style, substance and rhythm.

Who wins the rap battle between Pitbull and Drake? Chime in your comments. I am Guru Jay launching off into orbit in 5-4-3-2-1!

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.

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.

How to Be Famous in Seven Steps

Photo By: Andrea Wilson

If you want to be famous, look no further than Lady Gaga. The multi Grammy award-winning artist launched off into the Hollywood stars in 2008. Did you know Akon first discovered her?

How do you reach superstar status in less than six years? You must desire to be famous more than anything else in the world. Lady Gaga was so committed to the idea she named her album The Fame.

What about Rihanna, she rapidly rose to fame too? Rihanna is rare like a 20karat diamond. She is a success because no one comes close to her authenticity.

If you want to be famous, follow Rihanna’s lead. Be bold. Be yourself.

Who are you? What separates you from the pack? Are you the Alpha or Beta dog?

Talent is not enough. You need charisma, style and substance. The following seven steps will show you how to be famous.

Step #1 Find a Mentor or Role Model

Lady Gaga’s mentor was Akon. Jay Z was Rihanna’s mentor. Usher mentored Justin Bieber.

The average Joe Famous doesn’t have immediate access to celebrities. So, a role model is the perfect substitute. You need to figure out how celebrities reach their statuses.

If you want to succeed, study the successful. You have to approach the same situations in a similar manner. Make not of your mentor’s mannerisms.

You look up to role models. Use them as a guide or reference. Learn from their mistakes.

Step #2 Find a Talent (or Name)

If you’re good at it, pursue it. Try to be the best at your craft. Being recognized for something valuable is half the battle.

Once they know your name, you’re in the game for fame. Can your name be your talent? Sure, it can!

To those who say Kim Kardashian has no talent, consider her name. The crafty Kardashian leverages her good name and good looks.

Reality Stars are leading the next generation of celebrities. Kim Kardashian is Madame President. And, Kanye West is the first gentleman.

If you develop your talent (or name), then this will make you popular. Can you imagine LeBron James without basketball? Picture Taylor Swift without music.

Step #3 Build a Fan Base

If you want fame, you need fans. How do you get famous? The answer is to use your talent and get more creative.

Miley Cyrus is a prime example. She stole twerking and sold it to the public. We bit her bait and now we’re hooked.

If you go to Miley’s Twitter, you’ll find it filled with creativity. Her content is unique. Originality is very important when building a fan base.

Look no further than Bruno Mars. Do you see how he built his fan base from scratch? His ballads are the most watched on YouTube. He’s catching grenades and telling girls they are perfect.

Then, there is Ellen Degeneres. Ellen is the best brand name since Oprah. With her signature dance moves Ellen has built an extremely loyal following.

Step # 4 Engage your Fan Base

How many accounts follow you on Twitter? Are you on Facebook and Instagram? It is critical for you to connect with your fans.

Engage your fan base. Get to know them. After all, they know you. They know your work.

Make sure you do it the right way. Read articles or watch videos on how to use social media. Remember to promote your website.

I’ve found if your fans love you, you must love them in return. You know communication is a two way street. So, stay in your lane and remember to fasten your seatbelt.

Step # 5 Create a Persona

At this point you now have: a mentor/ role model, a talent/ name, and an engaged fan base built to last. What’s next?

Do people consider you a diva? Are you the hero or villain? Do you come off arrogant or humbled?

You don’t always have to save the day/ There are both good and bad characters/ Create your persona.

It’s nice to have a mentor. But, it is bad to copycat. Identify what is unique to you and sell it to the world.

Take a class called Marketing 101. Do what works best. Create your celebrity.

Step # 6 Perform

You are almost there. All you have to do now is work at your craft. If you’re a singer, then sing.

If you’re a reality star, just be an inflated version of yourself. They love you. You love them.

Perform. In other words, play the part. Act whatever role is subscribed to you. Give the fans what they want.

If you’re an entertainer, entertain the best way you know how. Actors, singers, and dancers put on the best performances. Learn from their successes and failures.

As long as you execute, you have nothing to worry about. Stay on top of your game. Work smart and not too hard.

Step # 7 Practice

Stay sharp. You do this by practicing. That’s the only way you can perform at the highest level.

What can you do better? What is your biggest strength and flaw? Practice reveals the answers to those questions.

You can’t win a Super Bowl without practicing. Your coach is your mentor or role model. Pay attention to his every word, command and instruction.
