The Will Smith Comeback Story

The Will Smith Comeback Story

Will Smith will start the New Year off on a bad foot. There’s a good chance the Focus movie, starring Smith and Margot Robbie will flop. To sum it up, Smith soaked up all the money.

I love Will Smith’s acting. I hate his agent’s negotiation skills. The actor missed out on prime opportunities in the past and present.

Let’s say Smith makes $35 million + 10 percent at the box office for every movie. Well, what’s the rest of the cast making? I’m on the fence about this film because I’ve seen it already. It was called Ocean’s Eleven.

The Focus cast lack star power. Can you believe Focus was made with a $100 million budget? Hollywood’s got a problem.

In 2013, Robert Downey, Jr. received $75 million for reprising the role of Iron Man. The highest paid actor only starred in one movie. You could give some actors $5 million for Iron Man; and they will do a better job than Bob.

Will Smith and Robert Downey, Jr. are a splitting image of each other. They demand maximum money at the film’s detriment. Is Will’s heart still in acting?

The people on top don’t have a clue about what’s really happening. They’re writing checks, looking at names, and that’s it. I wonder if Ty Pennington can give Hollywood an extreme makeover.

The movie industry’s in bad shape. The problem is not the actors, but it’s the acting. Why do Aussies play American roles? Tom Hanks never uses an Australian accent.

Will Smith deserves a top payday. However, Hollywood needs to come back to reality. Give these actors a salary cap like the NBA and NFL.

Will Smith can walk away in the sunset with sunglasses and flip-flops. But that doesn’t change the fact he’s overpaid. Those flip flops he’s wearing probably cost around $500.

I don’t blame Will Smith per say. He sets a high bar. He shows why work ethic still triumphs over talent. Lately, he’s been bench-pressing and producing results.

Based on what I’ve gathered, I give the movie a C+ or potential B -. The Will Smith we used to know loved giving fans a show. Let’s not be too hard on him because he chose a bad film.

Will Smith’s filmography as a lead actor is exceptional. He consistently wins at the box office. You see Smith can sell out a crowd.

I wonder what Will Smith can’t do. He has a can-do attitude. Hollywood feels an earthquake each time Smith leaves for Philadelphia.

20 years ago Will Smith received a warm welcome from the movie industry. Hollywood was ecstatic to have the West Philadelphia kid on their block. His strong TV fan base translated into box office success.

It’s no secret that charisma wins fans. The multi-talented Smith uses charms like a leprechaun. Is he half-Irish?

Before TV and movies, Will Smith made music. As a rapper he created songs like Parents Just Don’t Understand and Summer Time. Unfortunately, despite his success Will Smith went bankrupt. The Fresh Prince of Bel Air TV show let him redeem himself.

Everybody should get a second chance. This time Will Smith let money work for him. Nowadays, he picks and chooses roles.

The family man selects characters with positive images. By and large, he usually plays the protagonist. Fortunately Will Smith produced many good movies. He co-produced Annie.

The action hero maintains a high fitness level. Did you see the star in I am Legend? He’s at his absolute best. He shows why he doesn’t always do comedy.

I recommend Seven Pounds. If you like drama and suspense, you’ll appreciate this film. He makes a connection with Rosario Dawson which will give you Goosebumps.

While Will Smith never won an Academy Award, he was nominated for Ali and Pursuit of Happyness. He’s on the A list.

Buy and hold Dwayne Johnson’s stock. The Rock snatched up many of the Fresh Prince’s roles. That’s why Johnson appeared in Forbes.

He’s younger than Will Smith. Plus he’s built like the Hulk. At the moment, Dwayne Johnson is more popular than Smith.

I stand by my prediction, Channing Tatum will become the highest paid actor. His agent seems to negotiate fair deals. You could argue he is the most popular figure in Hollywood.

I don’t think Tatum took Smith’s parts. But, I believe screenwriters now develop scripts with Channing in mind. The writers used to love writing only for Will Smith.

There’s more to Smith than a dollar ($) sign. He’s a persistent workaholic. So, I recognize Will Smith as a brand as well as a person.

From day one, he’s been an awakening force. I wonder if he could act in Star Wars. Science Fiction films were his niche for a long time.

Smith secured a main role for Marvel. He will play DC comic’s Black Adam. The Hancock star’s experience is his best asset.

If Will’s acting career ended today, he could still call himself one of the greatest actors of all time. Did you see The Legend of Bagger Vance or Hitch? The Men in Black franchise along with Independence Day gained Smith instant fame.

Screen Rant reported Will Smith is not a part of the Independence Day 2 cast. After 17 years, Fox finally decides to remake a Will Smith movie but without the superstar. That takes a lot of guts but no glory.

Maybe, they call themselves saving money. Fans speculate Smith demanded too much cash. But, I’m not buying that idea.

Here’s the problem. The movie executives are underestimating Will Smith’s appeal. And, at the same time Smith is overestimating his abilities. That’s why an agent is so important. In the scheme of things, I’d rather have Channing Tatum’s agent.

Remember Will Smith gives you his best. Sometimes you fail even when you do everything right. In order to succeed, you must learn from failure. I admire Will Smith because if he’s down and out, he’ll make a comeback.

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

Eminem Vs. Iggy Azalea

Eminem Vs. Iggy Azalea

I love my generation. So when Eminem attacks Iggy Azalea, he’s talking about my generation. Do you believe Eminem and Iggy carefully orchestrated their beef? Why would Eminem risk ruining a good relationship?

I expect Eminem to catch a ball in Left Field. He’s an official Detroit Tiger. Eminem made his career by causing controversy.

This is his calling card. He went after Britney, Mariah and the Spice girls. Iggy Azalea was next. Eminem’s predictable because the rapper always goes after mainstream ‘pop’ stars.

The urban legend is Iggy Azalea has a ghostwriter. She doesn’t write her own lyrics like Eminem and most other rappers. And Nicki Minaj exposed her at the BET Awards.

Is Iggy Azalea authentic?

Maybe, Snoop Dogg is her ghostwriter. He’s known to spell out his name S.N.OO.P. D.O.GG. Iggy spells her name out I.GG.Y.

The Snoop Dogg feud shouldn’t have escalated. As the Nicki Minaj news faded, Snoop stole the spotlight. It’s almost like the rappers think Iggy is a problem.

I’m sorry… Does Iggy Azalea hurt their record sales? Why not work with her, instead of against her? Maybe, I’m missing something.

If you can’t make good music, at least make some sense. It’s senseless to criticize a fellow celebrity. Let the fans listen to their music.

The entertainment industry is a hard enough nut to crack. I say let the nut crackers crack. Let the singers sing. And let the rappers rap. Musicians should stick to making music.

So who’s pulling the strings? Who’s behind the scenes calling the shots? Is it the rappers or the record labels? You know the deal.

I get that the music business is highly competitive. Nowadays musicians are more business minded than ever. Maybe, the Iggy Azalea beefs are all hype. I hope it is.

Still, if you’re a celebrity, you need to grow thick skin. Never allow a little joke to upset you. Iggy Azalea should have sought advice.

Addressing the gangster rapper was a big mistake. Snoop received his education at the school of hard knocks alongside Jay Z & Annie. He’s not Drake, Kendrick Lamar, or J. Cole.

Iggy came back firing on all cylinders. So Snoop declared an all out war. And T.I. had to make peace. If you ask me, this isn’t finished.

They both went too far. Neither one should have acknowledged the other’s insults. Recap: first Nicki, then Snoopy, and now Eminem…

Eminem

Listen to the rap song Detroit Vs. Everybody. Then, you’ll understand Eminem’s mentality. In his mind, nothing is off limits.

Even if you don’t admire his authenticity, you can’t say he isn’t consistent. When Eminem includes you in his rap, then you are relevant. Does his one-liners do any real damage? It’s a matter of perspective. Still, Eminem should proceed with caution. You have the right to speak your mind and remain silent.

You see Eminem worked his way up the underground. 8 Mile, loosely based on his life, is a great movie. If you make a movie based on a true story, people will want to see proof. Fortunately, Eminem’s story checked out. In fact, Lose Yourself won an Oscar.

The rap community does not support Iggy because she has no street credibility. Eminem originated out of Detroit. The only place that can rival the dangerous ‘D’ is Compton.

So, it’s best for Iggy to ‘shake it off.’ Make a song with Taylor Swift. Get your money and they might respect you. Don’t try to take on the World Star Hip Hop. You’ll lose.

A real winner loses sometime. Iggy Azalea is a winner as long as she sticks to making music. I question why she even needs a publicist.

It takes time to master any game. A player must practice every chance he gets. Before Eminem was famous, he honed his skills.

Eminem gets better with time. That’s why the rap community respects him. He’s not afraid.

Eminem received his education from the old school. He’s not new school like James Franco. The celebrity does his homework. He practices.

People like Eminem because he doesn’t seek their approval. That’s the secret to his success. Iggy can learn a lot from Eminem if she listens.

Iggy Azalea

If Iggy ignores her haters, she’ll break records. But if her ego gets too big, the rapper will burst like a bubble. She has to stay grounded.

I’ve never seen somebody burn bridges they haven’t even crossed yet. Hollywood Boulevard is a two way street. You can’t choose sides.

See How to Be Famous in 7 Steps. Iggy needs to read step #4- Engage your fan base. Instead of engaging fans, her attention is focused on her harshest critics.

Iggy’s still young. So she’ll learn from her mistakes. It’s better to outsmart your opponent than to overpower him.

When taking the high road, hire a limousine driver. You can’t chance it. In the long haul, you need security and a dedicated team.

It seems T.I. is the only person that defends Iggy. That’s why it’s open season on Azalea. She should just build her brand.

Maybe, T.I. is to Iggy, what Dr. Dre is to Eminem and maybe not. You see Eminem signed 50 cent to Shady Aftermath records. Eminem cofounded a rap group in 1996 called D-12.

Eminem made Iggy Azalea possible.

I’ve never heard Brad Pitt talk bad about Johnny Depp. The Movie industry operates differently. What if Iggy started acting?

Will Smith and Mark Wahlberg had respectable rap careers before striking gold on the silver screen. Do you think Iggy compares more with Mark or Eminem?

There are two paths Iggy can choose. She can select the Eminem route or the Mark Wahlberg route. It’s easier to be Wahlberg than Eminem.

To sum it up, T.I. can’t fight all of Iggy’s battles for her. People will start to get the wrong idea. Does T.I. control Azalea’s career?

I’m following this situation because something’s wrong. Fans love Iggy. Rappers love fans. So, why do rappers hate Iggy Azalea?

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

27 Celebrity Vegetarians

BY: GURU JAY

Do you eat enough vegetables? Do you consume too much meat? Maybe, you should try vegetarianism.

There is a 50/50 chance that your favorite celebrity’s a vegetarian. Hollywood stars are always ahead of the curve. Are you a vegetarian? I’d like to hear from you.

If you eat vegetables exclusively, you’re in great company. The following 27 celebrities are vegetarians. You’ll have to prepare vegetarian dishes for them during Thanksgiving and the holidays.

1. Chris Evans

While Captain Ahab tries to track down Moby Dick, Captain America is out saving Shamu. Chris Evans commands the Marvel vessel. You wouldn’t want anyone else at the wheel.

Being vegetarian doesn’t mean you’re weak. Don’t assume vegetarians are weaklings. If Chris Evans can go without meat, you can too.

2. Prince

Prince makes music like salad. It’s always fresh. And the legendary artist loves veggies.

Can you believe the vegetarian started performing in 1976? Going vegetarian pays royalties. Eat like Prince. ‘You are what you eat.’

3. Ariana Grande

Being vegetarian is one way the princess can keep her figure right. The music industry demands a lot from artists. Still, I think Ariana can handle the pressure. She’s made of steel.

Still, I’m concerned about her vocal cords. I don’t want her to end up like Adele. Conserve your voice and energy. And don’t overdo it.

4. Jenny McCarthy

Melissa’s cousin Jenny receives many benefits from going vegetarian. Maybe, Jenny can rub off on her cousion. Hey, it’s working well for Jenny McCarthy!

5. Brandy

Brandy’s been working since the age of 14.^. She deserves a break. Pamper yourself. You see she has good genetics; and, she is a vegetarian.

6. Jared Leto

Does Jared Leto look a day over 35? He takes good care of his body and it shows. 35 years from now, you’ll swear up and down he’s 50!

7. Samuel L. Jackson

The #1movie villain of all time doesn’t eat meat. At first, I didn’t believe it. But, Samuel L. Jackson needs to be in tip-top condition in order to star in 5 movies per year.

8. Demi Lovato

I’m impressed by Demi Lovato’s Fandom. Lovatics are crazy in a good way. I know they’re glad that their idol is vegetarian.

9. Kelly Clarkson

My favorite American Idol happens to be vegetarian. Kelly Clarkson deserves special recognition. Do you know how hard it is for a Texas girl to pass up steak? I applaud her.

Texas is the state of music. Read more about it here. I wonder what the Texas Longhorns think about Kelly Clarkson being vegetarian.

10. Billy Idol

Are all of your idols vegetarians? Can you believe Billy Idol eats vegetables? Just listening to his music makes me want a hamburger.

11. Bryce Dallas Howard

Bryce Dallas Howard is the lead actress in Jurassic World. While the carnivorous dinosaurs chase the world over, you’ll find the natural redhead hiding with the herbivores. Look for Bryce to land more coveted roles in the coming years.

12. Kaley Cuoco

The Big Bang Theory actress is already a TV turn-on. She’d make awesome Movie Eye candy. Her body is a big asset. So being a vegetarian is a smart choice. Check out this blog post.

13. Jesse Eisenberg

From A to Z…Adventure to Zombie Land… Jesse Eisenberg is terrific. His performances in The Social Network and 30 Minutes or Less are noteworthy. I’m not surprised he’s vegetarian.

14. Anna Paquin

Anna Paquin a.k.a. Sookie Stackhouse is a vegetarian. The True Blood actress clearly eats enough veggies. In addition to having a clean bill of health, she is a top fantasy actress.

15. Pauly Shore

Of course, Pauly Shore is vegetarian. He earned an A+ on the Duck Test. Paul Shore is the quintessential PETA spokesperson.

16. Ellen DeGeneres

Ellen wouldn’t hurt a fly. So, it makes sense she’s a vegetarian. Her wife Portia de Rossi’s a vegan. Read more about celebrity vegans.

17. Sandra Oh

Sandra Oh was the backbone of Grey’s Anatomy. How in the world could producers let her leave? The show won’t last long without Sandra.

18. Orlando Jones

Nowadays you know Orlando Jones best for his work on Sleepy Hollow. But he’s been in show business for a very long time. Jones was an original MADtv cast member back in 1995. The vegetarian’s sense of humor and style reminds me a lot of Wayne Brady.

19. Boy George

I want to see Boy George’s birth certificate. This man can’t be over 50. Eating vegetables keeps him looking young. Despite his bad boy image he eats his veggies like a good boy.

20. Flo Rida

The good feeling rapper is a vegetarian. Regardless of your occupation, you too can go vegetarian. I don’t care if you’re a butcher.

21. Joan Jett

When it comes to hard rock, Joan Jett is the mother. I’m not surprised she’s a vegetarian. In her line of work, she walks a tight rope. Vegetarianism helps her stay balanced. Read How to Party Like a Rock Star.

22. India Arie

India Arie makes inspirational music. The soulful singer only partakes in soul food if it’s greens. Vegetarianism strengthens her brand.

23. Sarah Silverman

Who is a better comedienne than Sarah Silverman? Watch some of Sarah’s standup comedy. You’d never think she’s a vegetarian.

24. Maggie Q

I wish Nikita lasted forever. However, after four seasons the series got cancelled. The Vietnamese vegetarian Maggie Q made her mark in television history. Let’ s appreciate her contribution. Hopefully, she finds a new calling.

25. Nelly

Whoa Nelly! Have you seen his Cheerios’ commercials? More rappers should follow his lead. There’s no question about Nelly’s fitness.

26. Jane Velez-Mitchell

Atlanta’s finest Jane Velez-Mitchell says no to meat. She sets an example for the Puerto Rican community. She clearly cherishes her health.

27. Ke$ha

Last but not least is Los Angeles native Ke$ha. She got a D+ on the Duck Test. But, it has been confirmed that she’s indeed a vegetarian.

Keep this in mind: you don’t have to be a vegetarian to eat vegetables. Also, don’t forget an orange a day keeps Doctor Oz at bay. Always remember that your health is your wealth. I am Guru Jay launching off into orbit in 5-4-3-2-1!

Miley Cyrus Vs. Ariana Grande

Post author By iamgurujay
Post date November 8, 2014

Miley Cyrus

Look out for Miley Cyrus. She’s on Billboard’s most wanted list. Is it a crime to listen to her music?

When Miley sings, she takes us home. Entertainment runs in her family. The triple-threat Miley Cyrus can act, sing, and dance.

If Janet Jackson reigns as Queen of the Rhythm Nation, then Miley is a princess. And, she’s got rhythm too.

Why is she so popular? It’s because she makes the news. She stays relevant, which is key. So, people keep talking about the celebrity.

We all know what’s up with Miley. Am I right? That’s why we go to her concerts in droves. The singer gives 100 percent every night.

Does she ever cheat you out of a worthy performance? Why would Live Nation offer her $500,000 per concert if she weren’t worth it? If you ask me, she should make $1 million.

Plus, she cuts records in the studio like Bill Gates cuts checks. Remember where you heard it first…Miley Cyrus is a future billionaire.

For Pete’s sake, Snoop Dogg raps hers praises.

Do you know how hard it is to get endorsed by Snoop Dogg? Let’s revisit the Iggy Azalea case.

Greatness is in store for Miley Cyrus. On November 23, she turns 22. Look at how much Miley has already accomplished.

To: Miley

Here’s my advice to the hot Hollywood starlet… Take a break from performing on stage. The fans will love you more for it. Just don’t stay out the limelight too long. You don’t want to get rusty.

Act again. Concentrate on making movies. Justin Timberlake took a break from singing. Now, look at the superstar. Trust me Miley, your star power will soar to untold heights.

Also, don’t let people take you for granted. Allow them to recognize why they should treasure your gifts. At some point it’s very important to put things in their proper perspectives.

The spotlight has been shining on Miley ever since her teenage years. So, it’s vital for her to get her mind right. Crazy child stars are a dime a dozen.

Fortunately, it seems Miley’s got her head on straight. By all accounts, her family supports her. Do you remember when she was in the hospital? Her family came to her rescue.

Party in the USA put Miley on the map. Of course, Hannah Montana helped her a little too. Did you forget about Wrecking Ball?

The singer makes bold statements with her music videos. Do I agree with all of her artistic choices? No, but I believe in taking calculated risks.

VIP

Miley is on my VIP list. How many singers can say they’re on Miley’s level? If she takes a sabbatical, she will make more money. Her demand is too high.

This is Economics 201. By making her services scarce, the celebrity’s value increases. With a net worth of $150 million, Cyrus doesn’t have a care.

The wealthiest 21 year old celebrity to date, not only ranks #17 on Forbes, she is also the 2nd youngest. #33 Justin Bieber is younger.

Tweak the formula. In Miley Cyrus’s case twerk the formula. Don’t let fear trap you.

I like Miley because she is brave. Like a balloon she’s filled with helium, NOT with doubt. There have been several reports she gets high.

Parents just don’t understand Miley. Like the Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Hannah Montanais a TV show. However, Cyrus is a separate entity.

The superstar sends tweets from the planet Pluto and defies gravity. Do you tweet? Are you a Miley Cyrus Facebook fan?

Ariana Grande’s Here

Did you hear the bang-bang? Here’s Ariana Grande. She’s packing Miami heat.

Ariana Grande’s voice is a natural phenomenon. Listening to her music is like climbing a mountain. She rocks hard like a volcano. Oh, watch out for Hurricane Ariana.

Starting February 25, 2015 Ariana Grande will perform on The Honeymoon Tour. This coincides with her My Everything album. I predict that the tour will exceed expectations.

She’s exciting but is she too commercial? I don’t know if she’s found herself yet. I do know she’s on the verge of superstar status.

There’s nothing wrong with mainstream. The best music has global reach. How can you penalize a popular celebrity? It doesn’t make sense. So go ahead and get more followers.

Check out: How to Be Famous in Seven Steps. Is Ariana Grande handling fame the right way? There’s two ways to look at it.

First of all, the tabloids will stick a camera in your face while you’re eating dinner. Contrary to popular belief, celebrities love signing autographs. However, some Paparazzi will go to the extreme.

I understand Ariana’s aloofness. It’s perfectly fine to distance yourself from lunatics. So, give Ariana a break in that respect.

Sometimes, she’s unfairly criticized. Listen to her song You Don’t Know Me. Basically, she’s sending a message to her critics.

Eventually, the singer will open up to the media. But first, she has to learn to control her emotions. Shake it off like Taylor Swift baby.

In contrast to Miley Cyrus, Ariana Grande should record more music. Her sound is meant for the studio. How many musicians want to make music with her?

Ariana Grande is still building her name. She can learn from Miley Cyrus, who has already established her brand. In a couple of years, Ariana will get the same credit as Miley.

With grit and determination, Ariana Grande rose to the top of the charts. The singer started from the bottom and now she’s here. Change your last name to Superstar.

Ariana Superstar

In the words of another natural phenomena “You’re a shining star no matter who you are. Shining bright to see what you can truly be. That you can truly be.” Earth, Wind and Fire

Are you a nurse? If so, do you take vital signs? Well, Ariana Grande needs a nurse, because she is the pulse of the music industry.

Ariana’s energy rejuvenates the listening experience. Her fast pace combined with her perfect pitch is a lethal combination. I can’t wait until she releases her next single.

Why Madonna Must Answer to Lady Gaga And the Texas State of Music

Post author By iamgurujay
Post date October 30, 2014

BY: GURU JAY

Sex Symbol

Madonnadeserves respect. She is an iconic sex symbol. But, I enjoy listening to Lady Gaga’s songs more than the material girl’s music.

I don’t intend to diminish Madonna’s legacy. I just want to highlight Lady Gaga’s achievements. Lady Gaga is the new Madonna. But let’s not forget how Madonna blazed the trail for today’s singers.

Do you think Lady Gaga cares more about the music or the sex? When you’re on her level, money is not a real concern. Lady Gaga can make a living just by licensing her name. This is a fair question.

I ask this question because I like to know what so-called sex symbols think. Take Scarlett Johansson for example. Does acting come before beauty?

Look at Lady Gaga. She is a perfect specimen created in a laboratory. Her Body Mass Index has to be lower than 15. Does she eat at all?

Can Lady Gaga dethrone Madonna? Yes. Give Gaga some time and she’ll rise to number 1. I rank Lady Gaga 2^nd right behind Beyoncé.

In 5 years, Madonna must answer to Lady Gaga. The telephone will ring and Gaga is on the line. Will Madonna accept the call? If not, Beyoncé is about to bust her out of jail.

Gaga’s music registers 9.9 on the Richter scale. Go for cover because when the lady rocks it’s an earthquake.

If I’m having a party Lady Gaga gets the first invitation. Then I’ll invite Miley Cyrus, Rihanna and Katy Perry. It’s all a matter of preferences.

I prefer high quality entertainment. In the words of James Brown “we’re gonna have a funky good time.” I like Lady Gaga because she’s comfortable in her own skin.

She’ll wear her birthday suit anywhere. She digs deep down in her soul when she performs. Can you name a better performer?

Would you rather go to a Lady Gaga or Katy Perry concert? I am a Katy Cat but I am also a Big Little Monster. Katy stays in the safe zone.

Gaga takes you on an adventure. Now, Katy is the perfect wedding singer. I can imagine my future wife walking down the isle while Katy Perry hits a high note. But, make no mistake Lady Gaga will perform at my bachelor party.

Wonder Woman

There’s TV Politics and there’s Music Politics too. Lady Gaga appeals to an adult audience. So she makes riskier music than Perry.

If Katy Perry is rated PG 13, Lady Gaga is rated R. Okay, I’m not saying Katy gets a free pass. I just think Gaga gets sacked a lot.

I didn’t understand the Tony Bennett affair at first. Now, it makes perfect sense. Gaga is his Wonder Woman and Bennett is her Batman.

Lady Gaga Sings the Blues

Tony Bennett rescued Lady Gaga. Tony took her under his wing in the nick of time. Bennett provided Gaga with a safety net.

Nobody embodies greatness better than Lady Gaga. Gaga became famous out of the blue. She committed herself to music like a soldier.

She’s highly trained and disciplined. Who outranks her? Just think about her devotion.

She loves entertaining. What is more, Gaga engages her fan base in real life as well as on social media. She has the cutest poker face.

You never know when she’s bluffing. Lady Gaga can do what she wants with her mind. I’ve seen concerts where she dominates the stage. She’ll make the stage her boyfriend.

She doesn’t have to sing Alejandro for you to get the point. Gaga plays to your senses. She is a sex symbol. Moreover, she can deal with fame. Check out the Top 20 Celebrity Quotes.

As a celebrity, you have to face pressure. There’s no way around this. You’re expected to do your part. Many celebrities avoid the spotlight. Lady Gaga embraces the attention.

Grabbing attention is not a bad thing. Would we really care about a ‘twerkless’ Miley Cyrus? Entertainment is meant to entice us.

Who wants to see a mediocre or boring performance? We want to see the best. So, what does it take? The answer is sacrifice.

Lady Gaga is outspoken about sacrificing her love life in order to build her career. That’s how she befriended Tony Bennett. Tony saved her from being a one hit wonder. Now, Gaga soars the charts like Wonder Woman.

I just want Lady Gaga to be healthy. Check out how to be healthy like Katy Perry. You see Lady Gaga appears to live on the edge.

I hope she gets centered. She can take a page from Tony Bennett’s playbook, and sing songs until she’s 90. Learn from Madonna.

Music moves fast. So, it’s surprising when a celebrity like Lady Gaga stops to smell the roses. Why can’t the Paparazzi leave her alone? She has the right to privacy.

Lady Gaga doesn’t owe us an album every two years. She should take a break and experiment a little. She should make a new sound.

Lady Gaga has an untouchable voice. At times she sounds like a DJ scratching a record. She can do what she wants with her vocal cords.

Can you imagine a Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars duet? Let’s make it happen. I’ll write the song.

Texas State of Music

Welcome to the Texas state of music. Music is not dead. In actuality, music is better than ever. It’s not fair to compare today’s sound with the 60s and 70s.

Bob Seger has got it completely wrong. I like that old time rock and roll too. But, I also like this new time rock and roll… Lady Gaga’s got the same soul!

I got three words: Beyoncé, Shakira and Rihanna. How can you throw their music under the bus? You can’t write off legendary talent.

Bruno Mars is in another world. Just the Way You Are, Grenade, and the Lazy Song combine for over 1.5 Billion YouTube views. So don’t believe the hype. The haters will hate.

Now, I’m not naive. I’m not saying every song is a hit. I understand there are misses.

All I am saying is don’t dismiss hit makers. YouTube is largely popular, in part, due to VEVO. Who listens to music on YouTube?

In this new age, Lady Gaga pushes the limits. I admire her bravery and courage.

Katy built a powerhouse because Gaga took a little break. Katy has evolved to number 1.

I previously ranked Gaga higher than Katy. However, right now Katy tops Gaga. But watch out: Lady Gaga will reclaim her position. Thank you for reading. I am Guru Jay launching off into orbit in 5-4-3-2-1!

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

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

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.
