Ranking the Real

BY: GURU JAY


Do you watch daytime TV? Maybe you’re watching the Real right now. The Real is one of my favorite talk shows. There’s no other show quite like it.


I love the Real cast because they don’t hold anything back. Every last one of them makes a contribution. But, let’s be real…who does the best job?


  1. Loni Love

I’m partial toward comedians, so Loni Love gets the edge. Plus, she contributes more value to the show because of her humor. Who could forget her performance in Mall Cop 2, where she brings down the house?


Loni Love reminds me of a younger Whoopi. Does anyone else see the familiarity. They both have a similar style and stage presence. Loni controls the set like an air traffic controller.
  1. Tamera Mowry

The Sister Sister starlet has transformed into a reality TV supernova. Without question, Tamera adds class and a mixture of spice. We value her opinions because she’s honest about her life.


The wife and mother is relatable to her audience. Tamera opens up and tells the truth about herself. What is more, she’s a strong believer in God.


  1. Tamar Braxton  

As the youngest sibling, I can identify with Tamar. She is smart, talented, generous, and kind. Braxton would rank higher but she’s absent sometimes. On the other hand, absence makes the heart grow fonder.  


  1. Adrienne Bailon

Adrienne always comes up with sensational stories. She shows appreciation and gives gratitude. Perhaps, the most perky of the bunch- no one questions her spirit. Bailon loves dancing and many single men love dancing with her.   


  1. Jeannie Mai

Fashion expert Jeannie Mai specializes in clothes, so she’s the fashionable #5. In order to survive, people need clothing. And in order to thrive, you want an eye for fashion like Jeannie Mai helping you fit in your clothes.


What’s your ranking of the Real cast? Tell me in the comments.

$100 000 Pyramid ABC Actors athletes Celebrity Entertainment Famous People Game Show Hosts Guru Jay Hollywood Hosts Michael Strahan Personality Stars Talk Show Hosts TV TV and Showbiz TV shows

The Like Factor of Michael Strahan

What makes you like someone? Why do certain people have a special effect on you? I believe there is something called The Like Factor.


You’re either likable or you’re not. You have it or you don’t. And Michael Strahan has it. Plus, the personality is a likable guy.


He has a big stature minus the big head. All this means he wears big pants with the deep pockets. He also wears many hats. Best known for Live! with Kelly and Michael. Right now he hosts Good Morning America.


Next up on his plate is serving as host of $100,000 Pyramid. Have you seen the commercials? He says something along the lines of “this is not what mama had in mind when she told me to get a summer job.” That’s another reason I like Michael Strahan.


The celebrity cares a great deal about his family.  He speaks highly of his father who is an army veteran. We have that in common. Army Brats stick together.


Moreover, Michael Strahan is becoming more like LL Cool J. Ladies love this most eligible bachelor. It wouldn’t surprise me if ABC arrange for him to appear on the hit TV show- The Bachelor.   


At this point in time, Michael Strahan can bank on his good name. Frankly, he is the bank with a $55 million net worth. Who wants a bailout?


For the most part, he keeps it light. He’s not afraid to try new things. In Entertainment, it’s important to be adjustable. That’s why I go with the flow.


The Like Factor of Michael Strahan has a very strong effect on people. His charisma plays a large role in his appeal to a wide audience. He’s famous for his sharp intellect and powerful work ethic too. All these qualities and more define his status.

Let’s Take a Selfie with Ed O’Neill

Summer is a day away and the weather is perfect. The sun is shining, so you are smiling. Let’s take a selfie with Ed O’Neill.
If Bill Murray ticks off the clock, Ed O’Neill has the time. What if Netflix gave this actor his own Christmas special? What is the real O’Neill like?
I don’t get into gossip. I just call them like I see them. Although Ed’s old school, he’s cool enough to be on Instagram.
First, Married with Children may be the most watched TV show ever. It clearly is one of the most watchable. Who’s watching Married with Children right now?
Fans love characters like Al Bundy. Do you think Ed O’Neill hates being called Al Bundy in public? I don’t think so.
Moreover, Modern Family remains on top of the TV show rankings. People pass remotes because grandma must see Modern Family. Maybe, you have DVR so everybody is happy.
You rarely see Ed in movies but when you do he’s the most interesting man in the world. That’s my version of the popular Dos Equis commercial. Jokes aside, his performance in the Bone Collector was no laughing matter. He demonstrated his dramatic knack in the film.
Plus he seems laid back. So laid back, he didn’t recognize Britney Spears. Here’s why I give him the benefit of doubt…
Beautiful women constantly surround Ed O’Neil. Christina Applegate. Sofia Vergara. So he doesn’t see Britney Spears as the average person does. Also, Britney wasn’t dressed like a pop star when she asked for a selfie.
It’s interesting how long Ed O’Neill’s been in business as a leading TV actor. Can you believe Married with Children will celebrate its 30th anniversary next year? What is more, this year Ed O’Neil will celebrate his 30thanniversary with his lovely wife Catherine Rusoff.

Morgan Freeman Amazing Filmography

BY: GURU JAY

Morgan Freeman has delivered many iconic performances throughout his legendary career. How do you make a list of his best movies? Maybe the answer is…you don’t. Still, I would like to talk about his amazing filmography.
Let’s start the discussion with the Shawshank Redemption.
The Shawshank Redemption reveals the depth of man’s solitude. Ellis Boyd “Red” Redding exists in a manmade habitat based on making profit from human labor. In the film, Freeman finds a way to demolish the totality of the prison industrial complex as an actor. He’s inside the prison but the prison isn’t inside of him. Despite circumstances, Red refuses to lose hope within.
The actor plays DCI Cabot to perfection in the Sum of All Fears. The star never has a problem portraying powerful people. What is more, he empowers the cast. I believe Ben Affleck became better because he shared a screen with Morgan Freeman. Freeman always sets himself apart.
I believe his career was all set after Lean on Me. After Lean on Me there could be no denying of his greatness. The movie delivers an important message. You may want to check out a similar movie called Hard Lessons starring Denzel Washington.
Morgan Freeman alongside Jack Nicholson in the Bucket List was phenomenal. There are some twists and the ending was emotional. Now it seems everyone’s making a Bucket List because of this movie’s success. It made $175.4 Million at the box office worldwide.
I also highly recommend watching: Bruce Almighty, Invictus, The Dark Knight, and Lucy.
Moreover, software can’t duplicate his voice. Impressionists will come close but there’s nothing like hearing the man command the English tongue. Morgan Freeman takes pride in his work and it pays dividends. Directors know he won’t accept just any role. Without question, screenwriters prepare scripts with Freeman in mind.

Alicia Keys Best Blogs British Celebrities British Singers Celebrity concerts Corinne Bailey Rae Entertainment Famous People Green Aphrodisiac guitar Guru Jay Hollywood Music music artists Showbiz

The Soft and Sweet Sounds of Corinne Bailey Rae

BY: GURU JAY 

Here’s the best way to explain Corinne Bailey Rae’s music. Her voice is a clarinet. She mixes up her range and controls the pitch like a pro. Plus she brings us joy every time she sings Put Your Records On and Like A Star.
You see she knows what to do. And she looks good doing it. Right now her new songs from The Heart Speaks In Whispers- Green Aphrodisiac and Been To Moon specifically- are on my playlist. As always her lyrics are amazing and that voice is incredible.
It’s hard to stop listening after you press play. Are you hooked yet? What more could we want?
The soft and sweet sounds of Corinne Bailey Rae relieve the pressure. In a world with so much stress and worries, you need someone like Corinne. What is more, she’s true to her message. Her words delve deep into the meaning of life. Rae shines like a sunray. No wonder she received that name.

The British songstress could have been a princess in another lifetime. Musical notes are her subjects. She creates moods and expressions with her melodies.
Like Lena Horne, the star ‘got’ rhythm. Give her a guitar and watch her string magical harmonies with the bands. Oh yeah, she’ll sing until kings and queens come off their thrones. 
I thoroughly enjoyed experiencing Enchantment by Bailey. What is better than watching this music artist perform in concert? She could be the English version of Alicia Keys. The only difference is a guitar, keyboard, an accent, and a few seas. Moreover, executives respect Rae for brand managing.   
Yes, Corinne Bailey Rae took a break. But while on her hiatus, she became better in every facet. “Don’t you know that, that patience is a virtue (yes it is), and life is a waiting game…don’t you know that, peace must be nurtured…” In other words, seasons change.

Asian Actresses Celebrity comedians comedy Comedy Central Extreme Famous People Funny Funny Girl Guru Jay Hollywood Ken Jeong Korean Margaret Cho Movies Music Showbiz standup TV TV and Showbiz

Funny Girl Margaret Cho

BY: GURU JAY
Comedy pushes limits. That’s why Margaret Cho is your pusher woman. She represents her hometown San Francisco beautifully. What a beautiful city and woman. Let’s celebrate Cho because that’s what we do here.
Too many celebrities get chopped up and spit out for no reason. I prefer celebrities like Margaret because she speaks her mind freely. Should we start punishing people based on their life’s perspectives?
The Korean American comedian is very vocal about change and social issues. Some will take what she said and twist it in a knot. That’s wrong. Although there’s a price to fame, it shouldn’t cost everything.
You see Cho can be extreme like Russell Brand. As a standup comedian, her comedy compares with Amy Schumer. And the comedic actress plays great supporting parts too.
Picture Margaret Cho and Ken Jeong in a movie head-to-head. Margaret Cho gets recognized because she developed her talent. Who watched Cho on the View? Her and Whoopi have awesome chemistry. You can’t fake it.

Plus Margaret Cho’s brand is built to last. Can you believe she’s 47? Her face doesn’t look a day over 35. I admire celebrities that extend their time in showbiz.
Hollywood and entertainment are the most superficial businesses. You gotta constantly prove yourself in order to make it. The funny girl has done just that.
Whether through music, on TV, or in movies, Margaret Cho’s name rings your bell. Does she have poise and grace or what? Yet her filthy mouth barks attention. I would love to see her live in person.
Funny Girl is a 1968 musical film starring Barbra Streisand. Funny girl Margaret Cho creates throwback material by paying homage to Lenny Bruce and Richard Pryor. She is a true comedian who breaks through glass ceilings.
What is more, we appreciate Margaret Cho for entertaining us and rocking the microphone for all these years.

Why George Lopez Is Champion

BY: GURU JAY

Who are your five favorite standup comedians? George Lopez makes my list because he is a distinguished gentleman like Eddie Murphy. It’s not always a bad thing when the gray hair starts showing. The best comedians are experienced on stage and in life too.
This doesn’t mean soldiers need to take a bullet or need to get fired at and take cover. Funny people get my drift. I’m a long time George Lopez fan.
You see there is a lesson in Lopez’s story. That’s why Lopez is a focal point in Elite Latino Comedians: Best in Show Biz. Remember elite isn’t a bad word but fuck is. All I am saying is there is nothing wrong with doing your best. This Hollywood star keeps shining especially in dark times.

That’s when you know you’re on top. The tabloids can write anything and it doesn’t faze you. George Lopez tells the truth. He takes risks. For instance, Spare Parts was a film that could have failed. Instead this movie showcased his skills as a dramatic actor much like Reign Over Me did for Adam Sandler.
What is more, the Latino, Asian, and African American communities respect Lopez for championing important causes. I highly recommend watching Spare Parts- a true story about a Latino high school beating MIT in an underwater robotics tournament. It is thought provoking.
Plus the movie is funny. How can you not laugh with George Lopez? If Steve Harvey is the #1 Answer, then George Lopez is Numero Uno.
The Mexican American actor has came a long way to make it big. He got here by staying focused. So the moral of the story is to don’t lose focus and keep trying. George got knocked down on the ground, but he got back up. And that’s what champions do.
