8. Lionel Messi
The Soccer superstar has amassed over 75 million Facebook likes. When you’re the best, you get respect. Few players play the game better than Lionel Messi.

1. Shakira
Shakira is second to none. The Beautiful Liarsinger has Latin America behind her. How long will she remain number 1?

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.
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.

On Thursday, I watched Dancing with the Stars (DWTS). You know I didn’t see a lot of stars. All I saw were washed-up has-beens.
Why am I so harsh? According to Dancing with the Stars everybody is a celebrity. If this is the case, who wants to be famous?
I want to be a millionaire instead.
DWTSfunctions like Twitter. As a consequence, the show is in decline. It’s losing because it serves a minority. The best shows cater to the majority.
Do you watch DWTS religiously? Do you see what I see? What do you like about the imported TV show?
Don’t get me wrong. The show is watchable. There were many high points and bright moments during the premiere.
However, the hosts are capable of providing better entertainment. Why do we need two hosts anyway? Tom Bergeron can host the show all by himself.
Also, I don’t mind the judges individually but they lack teamwork. It’s about DWTSfirst, and the hosts and judges second. Listen up, DWTS…
I got four words for you: Randy, Paula, Simon and Ryan. The reason American Idol broke records is because of the show’s chemistry. It’s too bad they couldn’t recuperate.
American Idol wasted millions. They treated folks like Frankenstein. When Paula Abdul left, the ratings never recovered.
Ratings
Will the audience stop watching? I’m afraid that DWTS could go the American Idol way. But, I believe DWTS will revamp and retool.
Don’t mess with a winning formula. If it works, leave it alone. If it doesn’t work, fix it.
It’s clear that Dancing with the Stars is getting old. My recommendation is to fire Erin Andrews. And, Keep Bergeron to stay credible.
Why on earth is Andrews on DWTS? Erin should go back to ESPN and hone her craft.
Right now DWTS is inauthentic.
Here’s an idea: give Erin her own show. Let her do whatever she wants. But preserve her brand.
Fortunately, it’s not too late. DWTS can still become the default TV show. As long as they serve families, Dancing with the Stars will maintain its relevancy.
I call it the Kim Kardashian rippling effect. Anyone who associates with her is a celebrity. And, anyone who associates with her associates is a celebrity. And so on…
This is the 19th season of DWTS. Why is this Alfonso Ribeiro’s first appearance?
I point the finger at the producers.
I expected a shorter show. Two hours is one hour too long for a talent show. What’s your opinion as a fan?
In spite of the shenanigans, I give Monday’s premiere a B +, because season 19 has a tasty mix of talent. The casting crew created an interesting selection.
Weeks To Come
In the weeks to come, look for drama. All TV shows experience a rough patch. Who’s going to lose their cool this time?
Julianne Hough is out to prove herself. Some say she’s living in her brother Derek’s shadow. Many celebs feel she is unqualified.
Len Goodman is an accomplished dancer. He doesn’t like Julianne. Body language speaks volumes. Len takes this stuff seriously.
Applaud Dancing with the Stars for making this tweak. They recognized Julianne Hough’s potential as a judge. She is a triple threat celeb who adds value.
But, is Julianne qualified in the eyes of Carrie Ann and Bruno? They won’t admit their distaste for her publicly. But, you’re smart enough to see through it.
Casting Tommy Chong was a good decision. But Lolo Jones sucked. In fact, Lolo got booed.
She came out the gate with a negative attitude. Why? Lolo is her own worst enemy.
Bruno likened Tavis Smiley to a nifty fifty. Yeah right! Watch the stiff Smiley get voted off next week.
I’ve seen a dramatic shift this season. They’re showcasing top talent. And it’s not unusual!
Save the last dance for Carlton. He’s the obvious front- runner. Jimmy Kimmel picked himto win before the first show aired.
Still watch out for the Duck Dynasty daughter. She’s young and limber. You know the youngest contestants have an edge.
Although the mature stars look sharp now, can they stay in shape for the long haul? How many times did dancers withdraw from competition because of broken backs?
It’s nice seeing celebrities do splits and flips. But I don’t want anybody to get hurt. Don’t try to be 25, when you’re really 75.
Which brings me to my question: Should we institute an age limit? The answer is a resounding no.
Instead impose strict physical policies. Stars should meet a certain fitness level. This is not the Biggest Loser. This is Dancing With the Stars, people!
On The Judges
And the last thing we need is to lose a star due to political correctness (no one wants to offend senior citizens). The AARP is powerful. Case in point, you don’t see an 80 year-old NASCAR driver. Why can’t our oldest celebrities judge?
Midway through the season, these judges will click. DWTS doesn’t have to break the bank in order to put on a worthy show. That’s why the franchise continues to succeed.
How does Fox justify giving “judges” 8 figure salaries? I’ll shut-up because I may receive an offer. Seriously though, it’s wasteful spending. My grandpa said, “don’t waste money.”
How many mouths can we feed with $10 million? All I am saying is to take responsibility for your actions as well as your inactivity. If they pay you $20 million, that’s fine. But make sure you don’t behave foolishly.
Fate
I’m a firm believer that it takes money to make money. Dancing with the Stars may be too conservative for its own good. I’m against wasteful spending but you must invest.
If you don’t invest your cash, you’re wasting money. Next season, the show will celebrate its 20th anniversary. So I suspect they’re saving up for a spectacular special event.
No show will survive without viewers. Don’t stop watching Dancing with the Stars. And, don’t stop believin’!

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.
This is how to be famous in seven steps. This is The Guru Jay launching off to outer space in 5-4-3-2-1! Feel free to use share buttons at the bottom. Thank you.
If kids say the darnedest things, so do celebs.Have you ever thought about getting inside a celebrity’s head? What do they actually think about their fans? You’ll be surprised to learn their innermost feelings. Celebrities all agree on one thing. That is, living the celebrity lifestyle has some drawbacks.
While reading these quotes, you’ll see how fame can pigeonhole people. You may start feeling sorry for our famous friends. Please don’t sympathize.
Although the good life is bad at times, very few Hollywood stars would trade in their celebrity. Despite what they tell you, they love every bit of their stardom. What’s not to love?
As soon as you wake up, the paparazzi are prepared to film your whole day. They’ll even take pictures of the food you eat. It’s all in a day’s work.
We’re about to scramble celebrity thoughts like a chef scrambles eggs on Monday morning. Let’s look at the top twenty celebrity quotes. These are my favorites that I want to share with you.

Jude Law and Jonah Hill express their similar distastes. All Jude wants to do is act; but he can’t be an actor without being a celebrity. Certain things come with the territory. Jonah believes it is both a blessing and a curse.
Jared Leto just wants to be regular and he is…Celebrities are not much different from ordinary people. They experience the same situations everyone else does.
Danica Patrick and Julia Roberts express their need for privacy. Because they are high profile, the media is knocking on their doors. Considering Roberts is highly compensated, you can see why she is watched all over the world. The same goes for Danica.
As a celebrity, you are constantly on the radar. They all want to know your whereabouts. If you go missing from the spotlight, something is automatically wrong.
The celebrity lifestyle has several perks. It is a lot of fun. But on the flip side, your life is open season.
Are you ready for deconstructive criticism? Celebrity lifestyles are designed to be materialistic. As a result, many celebrities lose the fame and fortune.
I encourage you to save and invest your money like the 50 richest celebrities. Believe me, you can make a lot from a little. Allow compound interest to work in your favor.
When you signed up to be a star, did you know you’d be more scrutinized than a politician? In fact, politicians have more privacy than you. To be frank, the public restroom is more private.
In spite of everything, you aren’t going back to your 9 to 5 job. “Once you’re a celebrity, you’re a celebrity all the way. From your first cigarette to your last dying day.” Your life is a lot like the West Side Story, full of drama.

Denzel Washington expresses the same emotions as Danica Patrick. They want privacy. Frankly, they deserve private time.
Celebrities make mistakes like everyone. The difference is that their missteps are magnified in the media. What is more, celebrities cannot afford political incorrectness. There are two sides to a story and a celebrity better be on the right side.
Robert Redford and Jessica Alba illustrate how Hollywood affects their behaviors. They’re expected to talk, walk, and act a particular way. Red flags are raised every time they deviate from script. Actors have a role to play on and off screen.
Eva Longoria views herself as a role model. She takes fame by the coat tails. On the other hand, Kelly Clarkson longs for simplicity.

Actresses Sarah Michelle Gellar and Rashida Jones describe fame as a weird feeling. It is a major change. One day you’re an actor, and then overnight you’re a movie star. It all happens fast. Hollywood gives you a quick fix. Practically all entertainers use Hollywood as a launching pad for their careers. If you’re lucky, you may inherit fame. Drew Barrymore is a prime example. She doesn’t feel like a celebrity, because she’s always been famous. She was literally born a star. Actors Jack Nicholson and Russell Crowe recognize their star power. Jack’s quote is a bit exaggerated to say the least. And, Russell puts his money where his mouth is. I admire the Beautiful Mind movie star for his bold insights.

What does it take to be a top 50 celebrity or top 10 actor? What does it take to be on the level of Katy Perry or Justin Bieber? What does it take to be famous? Matthew McConaughey and Megan Fox discuss the challenges of stardom. How much time do you think Matthew and Megan spend in the gym? McConaghey and Fox are famous for their looks. You better bet, in order to keep fit, they work out. The hot actress is highly in demand for a reason. Megan Fox has found her niche in the entertainment industry. She is steadily becoming the must sought after sex symbol in show business. I would say the price of fame is worth it. Although Adele and Jennifer Garner struggle with their celebrity, they love being a celebrity. It is crucial to point out celebrities want to be famous. I leave you with Lady Gaga’s thoughts. It doesn’t take much to be a celebrity. In actuality, it is a thin line between ordinary and extraordinary. Fame is achievable if you reach out far enough. While your arm is out, why don’t you give a helping hand?

Commitment means everything. Tackle your obstacles. Don’t let your obstacles tackle you. 8.

Demi Lovato is young, but she is smart. Her insights surprise me for someone her age. Lovato is poetic. You can hear poetry in her music. She has soul. She’s got rhythm. 10.
Oprah Winfrey is true to herself. She is true to her audience. You can’t overlook the fact she has failed. The television executives demoted her.
But, she proves where one door shuts another door opens. What would have happened if she’d quit? Don’t stop dreaming. It’s okay to fail. In fact, in order to succeed, you must fail. 11.
Michael Jordan is a big failure. However, Jordan is a bigger success story. The moral of the story is you can fail big but succeed bigger.
MJ had a vision. He kept going. He kept trying. Most importantly, he believed in himself.
12.
Believe in yourself. Trust your gut feeling. You can put a price on tuition, but intuition is priceless.

You will never win an Oscar by self-doubting. Don’t doubt yourself. Trust your
abilities.

If you’re a football star, you want to win the Vince Lombardi Trophy. How do you win the Super Bowl? Ask Tom Brady who wears three Championship rings. The New England Patriots drafted Tom Brady in the sixth round. 198 players were chosen before the Patriots selected Brady. Fast forward 14 years, Brady is the best Quarterback of his generation. That’s it. That’s all you have to do.You have to be the best. It takes time. But, you tackle your issues on your way. At times, your problems will tackle you. 21.
Remember to stay strong. If you’re focused nothing is impossible. When you’re properly prepared, greatness is right beside you. Again, the key to winning is practice. The New York Yankees have won 18 division titles, 40 American League Pennants and 27 World Series Championships. The Yankees have lost more championships than any other MLB team has won.

Here is a video I made called 11 Motivational Quotes That Will Inspire You To Take Action. It may seem celebrities are superficial. However, many celebrities are motivational.

This is the We Are The World Video 25 years later. It highlights the original. It’s very inspiring. I admire how celebrities came together to help Haiti. Singers used their musical gifts to uplift a downtrodden nation. They donated their money and time to assist Haitians after the devastating earthquake. 26.
The Stand By Me Around the World video shows the passionate and compassionate sides of society. It shows the beauty of music as well as the beauty of people.

Hatred is not in the equation. 27.
Here is a succinct movie clip. The Pursuit of Happyness, based on a true story, is one of my favorite films. Although Christopher Gardner is homeless he somehow manages to overcome his shortcomings for the sake of his family. You will find the bond of father and son is strong. It is strengthened by love. Love is the answer to the equation of life… 28.
The Rocky video epitomizes what determination is. Rocky gave it his all. He put it all on the line. If you get knocked down, get back up. If you get knocked out, fight another fight. If you lose, recognize you are one step closer to winning. 29.
Here is an insightful and inspiring video. Floyd Mayweather is the best boxer because he worked smart and hard. Boxing is an art as well as a science. The key to greatness is to aim for perfection. Perfect is rare. Greatness is attainable. 30.
In this video, Al Pacino uses bold and frank language to convey his message. He explains that life has hardships. But, under no circumstance do you give up… Greatness is a thin line. In the words of Al Pacino, a few inches can make the difference between winning and losing. You have to make sacrifices for your family. 31.
In this video, a homeless young man uses his talent to elevate his circumstances. While auditioning for Korea’s Got Talent, he wins the hearts of the audience and judges. His story is clearly compelling. Even though society gave up on him, he never gave up on himself. You have to find your purpose. Run toward your goals and don’t look back. Look ahead. 32.
I am convinced you have to lose to win. The more you lose, the more you win; provided that you learn from your mistakes. You’re in a comfortable position if you experienced setbacks. Don’t be afraid of failure. If you keep trying your best, you will succeed. You can also learn a lot for others. Find a mentor and listen closely. 33.
Here is a powerful video. Be sure to watch. It shows you that life will give you heartaches as well as stomachaches. It will give you dreams and nightmares.
What you have to do is grasp ahold of your dream tightly. Nurture your thoughts. In order to achieve, you must 1. conceive, 2. believe, and 3. receive.
First, conceive in your mind your definition of greatness. Second, believe you can be great. Finally, receive what is rightfully yours.

Celebrities live a glamorous lifestyle. The Hollywood stars sacrifice good tasting food for nutrition. Each celebrity has a different reason for eating healthy.
Some have experienced health scares such as Bill Clinton. You will find it is important to nurture the body. You don’t need sodium and sugar.
I advise you to stay away from fattening foods. Let me be candid. I’m not a vegan or vegetarian. So, I’m not going to tell you to become one.
But, I do try to eat healthy, which means I eat more good stuff than bad. In my How to Be Healthy blog, I proclaimed that 2014 is our year for staying in good health.
In my article, I suggested playing golf. Golf is the ultimate social sport. You not only network but you get a moderate level of exercise at the same time. If you just work out a little, that can have a big impact.
You can find many celebrities on the golf course. Samuel L. Jackson obsesses over the game. Tons of celebrity golf tournaments are held every year. Many proceeds go to charities.
You can learn a lot from celebrities. They can teach you how to live a healthy lifestyle. Many celebrities are obsessed with being healthy.
Obsess over your health. If you start now it’s better than not starting at all. Remember, every bit helps.
I don’t think obsessing over health is a bad thing. Sure, you can take anything to an extreme. But, trying to naturally live longer is a worthy cause.
Count on the following celebrities to chug down a pitcher of vegetable juice daily. You won’t ever have to thump them on the head and say, “you could have had a V8.”
Don’t Thump My Forehead
1. Alicia Silverstone

The Clueless star is not clueless when it comes to good health. So, don’t thump her on the forehead. She’s not dumb.
Silverstone wrote The Kind Diet in 2009. She stayed vegan her entire pregnancy. One thing she preaches is limiting calorie intake.
I recommend you get an app that keeps track of your calories.
She is one of the most famous pregnant vegans. Moreover, she made a decision that impacted her as well as her children. Kudos, Alicia!
2. Olivia Wilde

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

Chicago Rapper/Actor Common is a well-known vegan in the Hip Hop Community. His name comes from the word commonsense. That’s why it makes sense he is a vegan.
In my how to be healthy photos, I endorsed drinking almond milk. You see, when you’re a vegan you stay away from all animal products. This means you can’t drink milk from a cow.
That’s why you have to respect celebrities like Common for embracing a challenging but meaningful way of life.
4. Woody Harrelson

What’s not to love about Woody Harrelson? He’s a great actor, a vegan, and a charitable celebrity.
It is wonderful to know Woody is trying to live better. At times, we may make bad choices. You could choose to have a slice of cake you should have a slice of vegetable pie.
It’s crucial you don’t beat up yourself. Harrelson doesn’t. He admits to having multiple vices. Just make sure you have a few virtues to offset your vices.
5. Joss Stone

Joss Stone is 26 and she’s a vegan. She is also an awesome singer. She is able to influence the next generation. Let’s hope she stays on the right path.
Becoming vegan is a solution to health problems. Try adopting the vegan lifestyle for a couple of weeks. That’s what Jay Z and Beyonce did.
Of course, Joss Stone is a vegan for life. Who knows? She may live to 100.
6. Mike Tyson

Hey, are you really thinking about thumping Mike Tyson’s forehead? If you do, it will most likely be your last thumping; because, you’re going to get thumped up messing with Mike Tyson.
You probably never guessed Mike Tyson was a vegan. But, it kind of makes sense. It’s no secret the athlete/actor loves pigeons. And, the former heavyweight champion does not try to hide his affection for animals.
So, it’s clear he is a vegan. In the future, let’s say in 200 years, I believe the majority of the world will be vegan. It’s good to see athletes living the vegan lifestyle.
7. Carrie Underwood
Don’t thump Carrie Underwood’s forehead either. The American Idol has been a vegetarian since the age of 13. Imagine ten million 13 year old vegans.
It takes courage to announce to the world you are a vegan. That’s exactly what Underwood has done. There’s no turning back she can’t renege now.
As an American Idol winner, Underwood is a role model. She sets an example for the youth. We need more role models like her.
8. Joaquin Phoenix

Golden Globe Award Winning Actor Joaquin Phoenix has been a vegan since the age of three. In fact, his whole acting family is vegan. I’m in no shape or form a PETA fan. However, I feel animals should be treated ethically.
Legendary Beatle Paul McCartney is a famous vegan. In the words of the great, Let it Be. McCartney’s career is exceptional because he makes music with a message.
Paul and Bono are in a league of their own. They are both humanitarians. Vegans are helping make the world a better place.
10. Bill Clinton
Former Leader of the Free World Bill Clinton is the most famous vegan. He used to eat a ton of barbecue until doctors advised him to eat healthier. Lately, it seems Clinton is more vibrant and smoother than ever.
Right now, health is President Clinton’s primary concern. By looking at him, you would never guess he had emergency heart surgery in 2004. He shows us that it is never too late to start living healthier.
11. Al Gore
Finally, Vice President Al Gore is a vegan. Of course, he is most famous as an Environmentalist. He won a Nobel Peace Prize for his documentary Inconvenient Truth.
One way to protect the environment is to not eat the creatures. It’s good to see the former president and vice president agreeing on a bipartisan issue.
I can’t tell you to be a vegan, because I am not a vegan. But, I can tell you it is an excellent lifestyle choice. These celebrities have proven you don’t need meat to eat well. Stay tuned for part 2. Coming soon!
