1989 Bad Blood Blank Space Breakups Celebs Entertainment feuds Firework Guru Jay hotter John Mayer Katy Perry Maxim Hot 100 Music sexiest Shake It Off Singers Stars Summer Songs Taylor Swift

Who Is Really Hotter? Taylor Swift Vs. Katy Perry

BY: GURU JAY

  
Without question, Taylor Swift, born in 1989, is younger than Katy Perry, but is she really hotter? Is Maxim’s Hot 100 corrupt like FIFA? Do you suspect foul play on the magazine’s side?
I seriously doubt Taylor bribed Maxim for the top slot. If anything, with Swift’s fame, the last thing she wants is more attention. For what it’s worth, Maxim is for men. I’m curious to see Cosmopolitan’s ranking. Last year, Katy Perry was number 3 on the list. 

Would you read Guru Jay’s Sexiest 100?
If you didn’t know already, Taylor Swift and Katy Perry share a history. Bluntly, Katy Perry stole boyfriend John Mayer from Taylor. How did she respond?
Taylor Swift shook it off and made the platinum 1989 album. Judging by her inflections on 1989, Taylor’s breakup was far from a open and shut case. Maybe I’m wrong. However, I believe her album is not only about John Mayer, but unsatisfactory relationships in general.
According to sales, Taylor Swift’s music is hotter than Katy Perry’s songs. However, heterosexual men would agree Katy’s body is sexier, and hot as hell.

Do gentlemen prefer blondes or brunettes? Although the Blank Space songstress stands taller than the Firework soloist, Katy is curvier. Maxim wants subs, so displaying Taylor on the cover is genius.

Katy Perry had her day in the sun. And, she isn’t scared to showoff her belly button. In a beauty pageant, Katy wins the swimwear contest.
Honestly, Taylor Swift has a prettier face than Katy Perry. Also, Taylor’s thin frame is a turn-on for many men. At 25, this may be the best-looking Swift we’ll ever see, because of aging.
I’ve liked Katy Perry forever. And, I’m growing fonder of Taylor Swift. As summer comes, I can’t wait to hear their brand new songs, and see their hot, fresh, and steamy music videos.

actresses Baby Boy Blackish Celebrity Empire Entertainment Extant Girlfriends Guru Jay Halle Berry Hollywood Movies SAG-AFTRA sitcoms Taraji P. Henson Tracee Ellis Ross TV TV shows Tyrese Gibson

Taraji P. Henson Vs. Tracee Ellis Ross: Who’s Watching Empire and Blackish?

BY: GURU JAY
I reserve Wednesday nights for Taraji P. Henson and Tracee Ellis Ross. TV turn-ons Tracee and Taraji bring a lot to the table. It’s unfair Empire and Blackish airs at the same time.
Who remembers Baby Boy and Girlfriends? Baby Boy is a movie starring Tyrese Gibson as lead actor, and Taraji P. Henson is lead actress. The film features Snoop Dogg and Omar Gooding (Cuba’s younger brother) in key roles. Moreover, Ross plays the lead character in Girlfriends, one of TV’s longest running shows. Fan crazed Game sitcom came from Girlfriends.

It’s wonderful turning on the TV and seeing two dynamic actresses. I believe Taraji P. Henson is one of the best actors in the business. Who’s seen the Curious Case of Benjamin Button? I also acknowledge Tracee Ellis Ross as one of the best comedic actors.

People are fascinated by Tracee’s long legs and hair and Taraji’s perfect silky skin. The beautiful actresses are the backbones of their respective shows. The Empire TV show causes millions of eyeballs to pop from astonishment. And, Blackish simultaneously creates ear popping effects from relentless laughter.

What’s will happen after Halle Berry’s Extant comes back this summer? Hopefully, you have On Demand, or someway to catch everything. With the intro of 3D/ Smart TVs, does it take a rocket scientist to figure out the best acting is returning home?

I believe the TV bubble will burst in 5 years. Show business is saturated and too competitive. If it stays like this, you’ll see a Screen Actors Guild strike. 

Despite my reservations, Taraji P. Henson will always have a job on TV or in film. In case you’re wondering, I prefer Empire over Blackish. But, it’s unacceptable that the shows air during the same time slot and day. I like Tracee but the Blackish Girlfriend can’t compete with His Imperial Majesty and Cookie.

A list action Actors B list Birdman Celebs Cuba Gooding Entertainment Face/Off Gone in 60 Seconds Guru Jay Hollywood Men of Honor Movies National Treasure Nicky Barnes Nicolas Cage radio

Nicolas Cage, Cuba Gooding, Jr., and the B+ List

BY: GURU JAY
What is the B+ list? Are you familiar with the A and B lists? If an actor is on the B+ list, it means they score A’s and B’s.
Nicolas Cage

Nicolas Cage is the best actor on the B+ list. Moreover, Gone in 60 Seconds, Face/Off, and National Treasure are my favorite Nicolas Cage movies. Bangkok Dangerousis another spectacular Nicolas Cage film.
It is no secret Nicolas faced financial issues. But that doesn’t discount his brilliance. While Wesley Snipes went away for tax trouble, nobody ever says Snipes isn’t a fantastic movie star because of it.
What is more, Nicolas Cage reached what appeared unreachable. At one time, his name was bigger than any other in Hollywood. So, what happened?
If you want to protect your money, you must live beneath your means. Unfortunately, it’s trying for celebs to turn down extravagant mansions, yachts, and things. Hollywood is a glamorous place where everybody’s rich and/or high. Sometimes it’s best to learn the hard way. You have to lose some things, to win something valuable.
Who remembers when Cage was on top? There was a time Tom Cruise praised Nicolas. Don’t close the book on Cage just yet. He can make a comeback like Birdman Michael Keaton.
Cuba Gooding, Jr.

Cuba Gooding, Jr. is also a top thespian on the B+ list. His Jerry Maguire days are long gone. But his portrayal of Nicky Barnes in American Gangster refocused attention on Cuba’s phenomenal acting.
Have you seen Men of Honor, Radio, and Gifted Hands? The illuminating movie star can play both perspectives of the hospital room. It runs in his blood.
Did you know Gooding is one of Hollywood’s most prestigious names? Cuba’s father has been in show business for over 50 years. Therefore, little Havana learned how to entertain at an early age.
Cuba Gooding, Jr. embraces challenges. When you look into his eyes, you see a fearless tiger ready to fight. Plus, the Fighting Temptation (pun intended) preserves and showcases his strengths in every movie.

action Actors Cameron Diaz Celebs Entertainment exism Guru Jay Halle Berry Hollywood Latinas Michelle Rodriguez vs. Eva Mendes Movies romantic comedy Sandra Bullock sex appeal show business theatre

Who Is the Best? Michelle Rodriguez Vs. Eva Mendes

BY: GURU JAY

  
Michelle Rodriguez
You won’t find another action movie star like Michelle Rodriguez. She is a mixture of Pam Grier and Angelina Jolie. Have you seen Foxy Brown and Lara Croft: Tomb Raider?
The movie business demands the most from actresses. Michelle Rodriguez has proven she is worth her weight in gold. That’s why Rodriguez receives the first call when studio executives are looking for a Latina to put in their pictures.
Did you know the San Antonio native also has Puerto Rican and Dominican Republican roots? The gorgeous actress can compete with everybody in any category. Like Sandra Bullock, Cameron Diaz, and Halle Berry, Michelle gets more beautiful with age.
I like how she keeps a low profile. Fortunately, Rodriguez isn’t high maintenance. But, she enjoys taking rejuvenating walks on the beach.

Is it too much to ask for more Michelle Rodriguez movies? She is clearly one of the best actresses. Furthermore, I believe her fan base is an untapped goldmine.
You know the movie industry has an agenda in place. Sometimes a star is burned-out because Hollywood doesn’t like divergence. Still if you’re attractive and talented enough, you’ll get some opportunities.
The good thing about this business is you can make it in some facet. You see Michelle Rodriguez made it because she worked hard, and didn’t give up despite struggling at first. A caterpillar must fight before she becomes a butterfly.
Like butterflies, Michelle Rodriguez is one of the world’s loveliest creatures. Doesn’t Rodriguez have the prettiest brown eyes on this green earth? Although I haven’t met her in person, I know she’s a sight for sore eyes. What is more, she hasn’t reached her peak potential yet.
Eva Mendes

Eva Mendes paid her dues in movies such as Exit Wounds, Training Day, and Once Upon a Time in Mexico. Have you seen the Women, Girl in Progress, or Hitch? Do you think Hollywood exploited Eva’s beauty?
Should Hollywood conceal the delectable actor’s sex appeal? Can we not pretend that sexism isn’t a major problem in the movie industry? And can we remember this issue isn’t exclusive to entertainment?  
People admire Eva Mendes because she found how to succeed and beat the odds. While I don’t endorse gambling, I would take a chance on Eva for the simple fact she’s one of a kind. If I were playing Poker, I would make Eva my good luck charm.
Life is a lot like Black Jack. When you’re 21 it’s amazing. When you’re busted, it’s the dealer’s fault.
Eva learned how to play with the hand dealt to her. She patiently waited, only to discover the dealer dealt a cold deck. Even though the cards were stacked against the actress, Mendes continues playing the game she loves.
I enjoy watching Michelle Rodriguez and Eva Mendes in movies. I’ve followed their careers and watched the celebrities mature into sturdy brands. If Michelle is made out of Iron, then Mendes is real steel.
I believe Mendes is a better supporting actress than Rodriguez. However, in my opinion Michelle is the best overall actor. What are your favorite Rodriguez and Mendes movies? In your opinion, who is the best?

Actors Al Pacino Any Given Sunday Carlito's Way Celebs City Hall Entertainment Guru Jay Heat Hollywood movie stars Movies Robert De Niro Scarface Scent of a Woman The Godfather The Recruit Top 10

Top 10 Al Pacino Movies

BY: GURU JAY

What are the best Al Pacino movies? Are your favorites on the Top 10 list? Let’s look.
Top 10 Al Pacino Movies
10. Scarface                                        
Pacino plays a Cuban refugee turned American gangster in Scarface. It is one of his best showings because the Italian gets his creative juices flowing. Can you imagine playing another nationality and ethnicity?
“Say hello, to my little friend!”
9. Any Given Sunday
In Any Given Sunday, Al Pacino stars as a head coach who delivers an eye opening and ear popping speech to his football team. In addition, Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx help Al out with supporting roles. It makes the top 10 because Pacino goes beyond his pay grade.
8. City Hall
Whether you love or hate politicians, you’ll like City Hall politics. This is a diamond in the rough. You haven’t seen Al Pacino quite like this. He shines bright like perfectly polished dress shoes.


7. The Godfather: Part III
Unsurprisingly, The Godfather: Part III was well received by fans and critics alike. Furthermore, the 1990 film cemented Al Pacino’s legacy on the Boulevard. In case you’re wondering, the great actor doesn’t have a handprint on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, nor does he need one.
6 . The Recruit
Colin Farrell became a better actor while filming The Recruit with Al Pacino. Do you want to go on a roller coaster or a merry-go-round? If you want a thriller, I recommend watching this.
5. Heat
In 1995, Al Pacino and Robert De Niro were at the peak of their superpowers. Credit Director Michael Mann for masterminding scenes with the two superstars. Can you handle Heat?
If you can’t handle the heat, get out of the kitchen and cut off the Chew and Rachael Ray.
4. Carlito’s Way
In a way, Carlito’s Way is the sequel to Scarface. The movie contains familiar themes. However, the setting changes to New York. As always, Al Pacino doesn’t disappoint.
3. The Godfather
The Godfather is perhaps the greatest film in cinematic history. In the movie, Don Corleone played by Marlon Brando, shows Pacino the ropes and teaches him the family business. Some say Al Pacino was “too good.”
2. Scent of a Woman
Al Pacino beat out Malcolm X starring Denzel Washington for Best Lead Actor in Scent of a Woman. The film is about an old depressed blind man standing up for a young gentleman. Watch this clip. Here is one of the greatest and most moving cinematic speeches ever recorded.

1. The Godfather: Part II
Mario Puzo and Francis Ford Coppola combined their talents and awarded efforts with Al Pacino to create possibly the greatest book/film trilogy of all time. The Godfather: Part II exceeded every expectation. Though the bar was set at an impossible level, Pacino obtained purity, clarity, and closure as Michael Corleone.
Thank you for reading, commenting, and sharing.

Why Miles Davis Was the Common Denominator

BY: GURU JAY

If you’re stressed out, listen to jazz and relax. Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, and Miles Davis settle the soul. Pain starts in the brain, and beautiful music is a proven painkiller.
It is important to put your mind at ease. Do you take time to reflect? Whether it is meditation, yoga, or prayer find Nirvana.
The world is changing rapidly. People are facing unthinkable situations. What should you do?
You can use music to escape this invisible prison. Miles Davis was the warden of Jazz. This post pays tribute to the legendary composer.
Miles Davis
If I could write the way Miles Davis composed music, I’d have no problems that my words couldn’t solve. The gifted and talented music artist excelled because celebrities esteemed him. It’s one thing for your fans to adore you. It’s all together different when your peers approve you.

When Miles blew his trumpet, everyone stopped to admire his virtuosity. Gratefully, he stayed active and visible until passing away at age 65. Although his body is gone, his spirit keeps on giving.
What are your favorite Jazz musicians and songs? Have you heard In a Sentimental Mood? Can you imagine life back then without music?
How difficult was it for Miles Davis to survive Jim Crow and the Civil Rights eras? As a black man, Davis couldn’t even book a room in some of the hotels where he performed. Don’t you think Jazz music can save the downtrodden?
What is more, Miles Davis represented change. Before America decided against segregation, Jazz integrated all races, beliefs, and creeds. His impact on pop culture is evident in Hip-Hop.
Did you know Miles Davis mastered many instruments besides the trumpet? The legendary bandleader blessed us on the piano, organ, flugelhorn, and synthesizer. You see he was made to make music.

I believe music is the common denominator of society. Good music is colorblind. Why not appreciate Miles Davis and Jazz together?

Not Denying Hollywood Heiress Drew Barrymore and Accepting Ben Affleck as Batman

BY: GURU JAY

People like Drew Barrymore because she can be the girl next door or an heiress. Did you know Barrymore is one of Hollywood’s biggest families? Can you imagine going on the Barrymore family retreat?
I like Drew Barrymore because she is inconspicuous. You could talk to her for hours and never know she’s famous. Most real actors aren’t begging for attention. That’s why reality TV stars receive a bad rap.
As we look back and forward at Drew Barrymore’s career, let’s appreciate her valuable and intangible assets. How much is the perfect smile worth? Isn’t happiness priceless?
I’m not denying Drew got a head start. What I am saying is I won’t hold it against her. People can’t control whether they’re born rich, poor, black, or white. You see labels do not define Barrymore and that’s why she is an amazing actress.

Picture Barrymore playing the role of Hillary Clinton in the politician’s biopic. Speaking of powerful women, did you know Drew is a director? She started directing before Angelina Jolie. I would like Drew to dye her follicles jet-black like Angelina’s hairdo.
If Barrymore makes the right decisions, she could become a legendary filmmaker. The beautiful Hollywood heiress can use her connections to further advance her career. However, in Barrymore’s defense, she’d rather gather recognition according to her merits.
The Sony Hack uncovered system wide institutional corruption in the entertainment industry. Hopefully, Sony, Disney, New Corp and other corporations will create positive and lasting changes. Drew Barrymore keeps her name clean and she doesn’t complicate being a celebrity.
Many celebrities crave attention. There is nothing wrong with desiring love. But the problem is excess.

Finally, I’ve accepted Ben Affleck as Batman. Yes, I said Matt Damon would make a better Bruce Wayne. However, his good friend Ben is phenomenal.
Ben looks like Batman and appearances mean the world. Let’s do Affleck a favor and don’t compare him to Christian Bale. It’s not apples and oranges.  
It’s kiwis and coconuts. Plus, Ben Affleck has momentum on his side. It is always a good sign when the media is talking about you.
Like Barrymore, Affleck is a great director and excellent actor. I understand that the movie business is tough work. So, I won’t deny Drew Barrymore her inheritance. And at the same time, I will accept the fact Ben Affleck is Batman.
