Reese Witherspoon is one of Hollywood’s hottest actresses by design. She was destined for greatness. It was only a matter of time before her name would shine in big bright lights. The glowing Hollywood star can play the country girl or the city hipster.

I enjoy watching Reese Witherspoon because she desperately desires a second Oscar. Although she earned Best Actress 10 years ago for Walk the Line, the devoted actress is long overdue another one. Unfortunately, Hollywood has a political agenda.

The Awards committee is always trying to make a statement. It’s not about who’s the best anymore. It’s more about who serves their cause the most.

Reese Witherspoon deserved an Oscar for Wild. Despite continual unfairness, Reese takes losses like a champ. The Legally Blonde just makes another case for the Academy.

I highly recommend Mud starring Matthew McConaughey. Witherspoon is a fantastic supporting actress. She stirs up emotions like Grandma’s gumbo.

What’s her secret sauce? The mother of three can relate to her characters. She isn’t too far removed from reality.

Reese Witherspoon was one of Hollywood’s highest paid actresses for many years. In 2010, the gorgeous star earned a grand total of $32 million according to Forbes. She still commands a hefty salary because she is a producer and actor.

Studio executives recognize Reese’s star power too. In addition to name recognition, her face is instantly recognizable to millions around the world. Speaking of millions, the Richest estimate that the How Do You Know? actor’s net worth is $80 million. That’s a lot of cheddar considering the cost of living in Hollywood is sky high.

Fortunately, Reese Witherspoon isn’t splurging on nonsensical and nonessential material goods. She seems to have a good head on her shoulders. Hopefully the mature actress can knock some sense into these newbies.

It’s difficult living large like a celebrity. You need to watch your business manager, accountant, lawyer, and doctor with suspicion. Don’t trust anybody but your mother. Reese Witherspoon is in the upper echelon because she’s smart. Plus, she chose great movies to star in and is an expert performer. The stunning beauty is absolutely amazing.

Watching Amy Adams

I watch movies differently than most people. I pick apart scripts and analyze every component. I do this out of recognition and appreciation of the thoughtful creative process.

I would like to acknowledge Amy Adams for her eminence. Amy Adams effortlessly plays characters. In a peculiar manner, she is and isn’t supposed to be a Hollywood actress.

I believe an intelligent designer created a work of art when he sculpted Amy Adams into existence. Everywhere she turns the Big Eyes actress diverts eyeballs into her direction. Who could forget about her onscreen love affairs with actors Christian Bale and Bradley Cooper? She stole the spotlight from Jennifer Lawrence.

Amy Adams maintains her composure following Tinseltown tradition. Moreover, she is authentic in an artificial environment. Adams appears regal and classic in both her approach and delivery.

Perhaps, there is a rationale behind the casting of Adams opposite of Meryl Streep in Julie & Julia. Americans and to a lesser extent Europeans and Asians relate to the thespian’s array of roles. Her characters face the obstacles encountered by ordinary females.

For instance, Big Eyes (based on true events) rehashes a story about a husband taking total credit for his housewife’s paintings featuring big eyes. The film takes place in the 1950s and 1960s. There is a good chance your grandmother might have experienced similar situations as Margaret Keane.

In essence, Adams portrays the fabric of society. She neither sugarcoats nor exaggerates facts with the exception for fantasy movies like Enchanted and Night at the Museum. That’s why she is the real McCoy.

I am captivated by her discipline and dedication. At the request of The Master director she arrived early for their whole filming. Mind you, she didn’t appear in every scene. Minor details such as these make major differences in film production.

I read the American celebrity isn’t a natural redhead but was born blonde and in Italy. Whatever the case, she is a sight to behold. I’m leaping because the Leap Year actress turns frowns into pleasurable emoticons.

Amy Adam’s execution is precise. I realize she is the best of the best. I enjoy watching this celeb in interviews almost as much as in movies.

After receiving numerous nominations and awards- Oscars and Golden Globes- the actress belongs in the entertainment industry. I feel Hollywood represents a place of enormous possibilities where dreams and realities often merge into one and are indistinguishable. If Amy Adams can become rich and famous, so can you.

How Jamie Foxx Became Extraordinary

Ordinary people settle for mediocrity. Extraordinary individuals believe in their abilities and never get complacent. Jamie Foxx became extraordinary by making his dreams come true.

Do you watch the Jamie Foxx show? That sitcom serves as perfect example of Foxx’s trajectory. From the beginning, determined and ambitious Jamie King chased Francesca (Fancy) all around the hotel. In the finale, Jamie marries Fancy and all is well.

At my elementary school, classmates and I would practice Jamie Foxx’s tagline during recess. The genius of Jamie’s comedy is that it’s capable of reaching everybody. Have you seen the Annie remake starring the multitalented celebrity?

Anyone who can perform standup comedy, act in a variety of roles, and sing Hip-Hop with perfection is special. Furthermore, the complete entertainer hosts a radio program called the Foxx Hole.

Plus, the actor/singer/comedian tickles the ebonies and ivories similar to Alicia Keys. You see Jamie enjoys making money and the celebrity’s creativity is off the charts. People give their undivided attention to Foxx because he has established himself as a one-stop entertainment shop.

If you still don’t believe Jamie Foxx isn’t extraordinary tell that to the Grammys, Golden Globes, and Oscars committees because they all awarded him the highest honors. Do you think Jamie is a better actor, comedian, or singer? I considered him best at acting, then singing, and lastly comedy.

The fact of the matter is Jamie can do it all exceptionally well. Like Jim Carrey and Jennifer Lopez, Kennan Ivory Wayans and In Living Color opened opportunities for Foxx. Plus, Def Comedy Jam gained the comedian more exposure. Watching Jamie perform is like seeing LeBron James play basketball.

What are your favorite Jamie Foxx films? I recommend Ray, the Soloist, Law Abiding Citizen, and Django Unchained. Because of his authentic gifts, Jamie Foxx belongs in the conversation among the greatest entertainers of all time.

Is Mark Wahlberg Getting Snubbed?

Who are your top 10 favorite actors? Did the best actors get snubbed at the Golden Globes? I think award committees should nominate more Mark Wahlberg movies.

Is Wahlberg a product of his own success? With a $200 million net worth, the multi-talented celebrity is easily targeted. Indeed, the cash rich actor doesn’t need their charity.

In comparison, Ben Affleck is worth a measly $75 million. In my opinion, Mark Wahlberg would make a more convincing Batman than Ben Affleck. In fact, Affleck’s best friend Matt Damon would fit better into the Dark Knight’s armory. Consequently, fans will compare Ben Affleck with Birdman Michael Keaton forever.

Unfortunately, Hollywood is a wild political animal in need of taming. Reports say that Mark was offered the Robin role. Come on, that’s a Joker. Wahlberg is clearly a natural lead actor. He isn’t anybody’s sidekick.

Affleck schmoozes and mingles with the elite and that’s how Benny affords a jetpack. All actors brownnose but Benjamin is deeply connected and highly influential. Fortunately, Mark Wahlberg is a very important person.

Winners associate with winning. Even New York Yankee season ticketholders revere Boston native Mark Wahlberg. Regardless of their personal preferences people respect the best.

Have you seen the ‘Departed?’ Martin Scorsese directs an amazing cast, which includes Wahlberg. Because of impeccable directing and acting, the movie received multiple Academy Awards.

Without Wahlberg, Hollywood would experience an economic collapse. The red carpet would turn navy blue. Seriously, Mark Wahlberg created lasting opportunities for the next generation of actors, musicians, and producers.

‘The Gambler’ rolls dice and plays Russian roulette. In addition, the celebrity takes over the ‘Transformers’ franchise. Any picture the actor attaches himself to gets photo shopped.

The detractors will say Mark Wahlberg’s mainstream and commercial. And, they’re right. But, Wahlberg handles business. He is one of the best. Yes, Hollywood is snubbing Mark because they’re secretly jealous.

Last year Bradley Cooper strategically snapped a selfie at the Academy Awards. The meticulous thespian definitely desires an Oscar nomination. American Sniper could deliver the celebrity his long-awaited golden statue.

Bradley accelerated his career ever since Hangover. Movie stars take on serious roles to catapult their careers. In the highly acclaimed American Sniperfilm, Cooper resurrects Clint Eastwood’s relevancy as a director.

American Sniper chronicles the struggles of Navy SEAL & Iraq War veteran Chris Kyle. Despite limited release, the motion picture received numerous awards from the American Film Institute and the National Board of Review.

The Limitless actor rejects typecasting. As a result, the tenacious celebrity has starred in a variety of blockbusters ranging from the comedic to the horrific. Regardless of your taste, Bradley Cooper mixes up the Jambalaya.

Cooper’s professionalism distinguishes him from run-of-the-mill actors. Bradley befriended George Clooney because of their strikingly similar skillsets. Although Clooney is more polished and experienced, Cooper is very versatile and inventive.

When given a complex assignment, Bradley overachieves. Bradley approaches theatre like William Shakespeare. Jennifer Lawrence earned an Oscar for Silver Linings Playbook because of Cooper’s brilliant performance.

Sometimes, Hollywood blurs the lines between vanity and insanity. Cooper turns hot and cool whenever necessary. The celebrity’s highly capable. Moreover, Bradley wears comfortable moccasins.

The Philadelphia brother keeps walking even after stumbling. Bradley Cooper perseveres, when his contemporaries decline. Bradley deserves a star on Hollywood Boulevard; and should receive an Oscar sometime this winter.
