How to Be Famous in Seven Steps

Photo By: Andrea Wilson

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.

Top 10 Favorite Pop Stars

10. Shakira

Just like the World Cup, Shakira kicks off our list. She easily makes my top 10. The Colombian singer knows how to work it. Click here to see how Shakira is shaking these days.

I was one of the first to watch her video with Rihanna on YouTube. Does this remind you of Beautiful LiarWe can’t get enough of Shakira, plain and simple.

9. Britney Spears

Photo By: Jen

I became infatuated with Britney in the eighth grade. If you will, call it puppy love. Oh my, Britney can work it too

The reality is Britney breaks records in the record business. Womanizers and women buy her goods up like beachfront property. Why? Because she’s hot, that’s why.

8. Alicia Keys

AliciaKeys is a phenomenal solo artist. Not many hold a candle to her musical acumen. She lights up the world with her music.

Not to mention, she has more curves than Justin Verlander and Kate Upton. She’s a bad mama jamaShe is an elite 8th but she bats cleanup. She seems so delicate like a dove.

7.  Bruno Mars

Photo By: MyCanon

At 7 is Bruno Mars, because his status has soared ever since performing at the SuperBowl. He pays homage to legends like Elvis. That’s why he is a fine showman.

If you love music, then you like Bruno Mars. His fans are amazing. I admire his work ethic.

6. Justin Bieber

Photo By: Joe Bielawa

Mr. Bieber is my sixth favorite. Click here to read How to Be Justin Bieber. Basically, Bieber is a natural.

His best years are still to come. In a decade, he may legitimately take the number 1 spot. He’s not the King; he’s more like the Duke of Pop.

5. Justin Timberlake

Public Domain

Justin Timberlake manages to mesmerize the ladies. It’s almost like the Suit and Tiemusician is a magician on the stage. The singer /actor/businessman pulls out bunny rabbits from his many hats.

Make no mistake. Do you think his marriage to Jessica Biel makes him more desirable? Whatever the case, Timberlake is the future face of entertainment.

4. Katy Perry

Photo By: nikotransmission

Click to read How to Be Like Katy Perry and LeBron James. Katy Perry is my number 4. She just doesn’t make hits; She hits homeruns. Katy Perry knocks it out the park every time she’s up to bat.

I play a lot baseball. And, I listen to a lot of music. If baseball is America’s pastime, then Katy Perry is America’s sweetheart.

Katy is definitely a diva. I may go as far to say she is the Duchess of Pop. But, the Princess title is up for grabs.

3. Rihanna

Photo By: Eva Rinaldi

Keep your eye on Rihanna. Whenever I see her, she looks good. She keeps up with appearances and never disappoints.

She receives the bronze medal. She is my definition of “Pop Star.” Her music appeals to the masses. I love numbers.

You see Rihanna lets you in on a secret. Then, suddenly she stops mid sentence. I’m very fond of her puzzling personality.

I still think Disturbia could have been the next ThrillerBut, the timing was wrong. This doesn’t change the fact she is the most viewed artist on YouTube. And, that means she’s doing something right.

2. Lady Gaga

Photo By: Emily

Lady Gaga deserves the silver medal. She is one of my favorites, because she has built the type of fandom I want. I know for one thing, she has 42 million Twitter followers plus 66 million Facebook likes.

I would enjoy meeting Lady Gaga. She stands for a cause. It’s nice to see her spreading a message.

What I like the most about Lady Gaga is how she came out of nowhere. One day we went to bed and Lady Gaga was our dream girl. Her rise was like a movie starring Beyoncé Knowles.

Lady Gaga doesn’t have to sing another song. Come on: Poker Face, Born This Way, and Bad Romance made her famous forever. After launching off into orbit in 2008, the universe now knows her name.

1. Beyoncé

Photo By:Nat Ch Villa

Beyoncéis big. I nominated her ‘entertainer of the year.’ I believe Beyoncé will only get bigger.

Beyoncé is at her peak. There’s no sign of her slowing down and taking it easy. She’s on a mission.

The ‘GetMe Bodied’ girlfriend embodies the essence of beauty. Her sexy skin radiates on stage and on YouTube. You stop and stare as she struts into the room.

Let me put it this way. Beyoncé is #1. Katy Perry, Lady Gaga and Rihanna are really hot. But, (the key word) they are NOT Beyoncéin bold letters.

I’ve always been a Beyoncé fan. Through the good and bad, I stick by her. I buy her music, go to her concerts and drink her orange juice.

When life gives me lemonade, I make fresh squeezed orange juice. Beyoncé is different. If you want to be on her level, you must understand your uniqueness.

Did you know Beyoncé started with Destiny’s Child? If you were born in the 90s, you may not know this fact. What Paul McCartney is to the Beatles, Beyoncé is to Destiny’sChild.

Let me be the first to say, the Beatles will always be the best band until the year 3,000. But, as a solo artist Beyoncé is as good as it gets. Who can deny her?

Steve Jobs changed the music business with the iPod, iPad and iTunesMichael Jackson’s influenced pop culture and cemented his legacy as the King of Pop with the Thriller album. Beyoncé is changing the entertainment industry with her self-titled album, tour, and all around body of work.

Taylor Swift

Where is Taylor Swift? I’m sorry Taylor. I’m going to let you finish but Beyoncé had the best video of all time…

Top 20 Celebrity Quotes + Videos

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.

Celebrity Quotes: Stay tuned for videos at the end…

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 BieberWhat 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?


Lady Gaga sings like a bluejay in the Paparazzi video.

Top 50 Celebrities Around the World

BY: GURU JAY

Around the World In Hollywood, Bollywood, Nollywood, Chollywood and Zollywood

Stop Stressing


You don’t have to worry about anything. Cast all your worries in the deep blue sea. Take time to focus on what matters most.

Your health is important. So, stop stressing. Take a break. You deserve it.

After a stressful day, most people want to be entertained. You might have the most stressful job in the world. But after turning on your computer and television stress is no longer a factor of the equation.

Celebrities entertain us. Part of their job description is to make people happy. If you’re feeling sad or lonely, maybe a funny movie will lift your spirits.

Recently, I wrote an article about how to be a celebrity. I defended Justin Bieber, because he is unfairly criticized in the media. In today’s blog, we will identify more than 50 celebrities around the world.

Our list was composed using a variety of sources. I made this list, because I couldn’t find anything else like it on the Internet. I organized the celebrities in descending order.

World Tour        

Let me take you on a world tour of Hollywood, Bollywood, Nollywood and Chollywood. We’re stopping by the biggest celebrity mansions and bachelor pads. On our way I’ll show you only the best.

Oh, did you want to see Lady Gaga’s Beverly Hills mansion? You might as well. We’re travelling around the whole world.

The next stop is Tennis superstar Roger Federer’s Dubai home. Of course, he has a Tennis court! Where else can we go?

I know. Let’s go to China and look at Jackie Chan’s rock collection. I thought you’d like that.

While we’re in Asia we might as well go to India and check out Bollywood Actor Amitabh Bachchan’s Rolls Royce. Boy, is he living the good life!

Celebrities all around the world love luxury. You can always catch the ladies wearing expensive clothes or sporting a brand new luxurious handbag. It’s the way they live. They live a high-price lifestyle.

I want our trip to be entertaining as well as informative. You will receive the royal treatment. We can check in and check out where Prince William used to reside

I’ve heard there is 24-hour room service here. Also, we have a personal chef, masseuse, butler, maid, and chauffer.

Our personal chef can cook you anything you desire. Our masseuse can relax your muscles with her arms and hands. Our staff is here to serve you.

What more do you want? The top celebrities live a luxurious lifestyle. Money is not an object to them. They make millions of dollars per year.

We all could use the money minus the fame that comes with it. It’s no secret that famous people are constantly monitored by the paparazzi. As a celebrity, you’re always on camera.

You can go to the most isolated island on the planet and the cameramen will follow you there. In many cases, the paparazzi will already be there awaiting to snap pictures upon your arrival.

The Price of Fame

The price of fame is not monetary. You pay in other ways. How many times have actors auditioned only to hear the word no? You cannot fear rejection, if you want to be a celebrity.

You may have all the talent in the world and still not get the role. The main thing is that you persevere. If you work hard enough, eventually you’ll get rewarded.

Stay true to yourself. We can learn from celebrities how to act in public. Ok, well not every celebrity. But, you get my drift.

Whenever Beyoncé walks out her home all eyes are glued on her butt. She doesn’t have the same type of privacy as an ordinary person. Wherever she goes, TMZ is tracking her. 

The price of fame is astronomical. You have to make sacrifices. No one ever said it is easy being a celebrity. But, at the same time it’s fun.

You have to weigh the horses to determine if entering the race is worth the hassle. You can lead the horse to the gate, but you can’t make her win. You ought to get off the high horse if you’re afraid of falling.

At times it seems easy to be a celebrity. But, it’s not. It’s a lot of hard work. But, if you stick with the plan you’ll be a celebrity in no time.

Who Wants To Be A Celebrity?

Everyone wants to be a celebrity. Celebrities are literally worshipped. If you don’t believe me, log into Twitter.

Go to Beyoncé’s Twitter. How many followers does Bey have? Go to another celebrity on our list. How many followers do they have? How many accounts are they following?

As you can see (on Twitter), The entertainment world is huge. There are tens of thousands of actors in Hollywood alone. But, this blog entry is bigger than Los Angeles.

Around The World

Our top 50 list covers the whole world. Continent by continent, country by country: I breakdown the best celebrities around the world.

I watch films and listen to music in foreign languages. I do this because I like learning new words. I don’t desire fluency in every language.

Hearing new sounds is intriguing. I love listening to French because it’s the language of love. Just saying a few words, in French to my girlfriend, is a good way to make the mood more intimate.

As a bonus, I have included a list of the top five French celebrities. At the top of the list is Eva Green. She is famous for her role in 300: Rise of an Empire.

Green plays the historical Artemisia in 300. She has proven why she belongs on the list of the world’s top celebrities. The elegant Eva was also a James Bond’s girl in the 2006 movie Casino Royale.

I’ve found some phrases are best said in their native tongues. Language is often lost in translation. However, the genius of languages is that emotions are universal.

The body language of love in India is the same as in China. The intensity of anger in the United States is the same as in Nigeria. A smile has the same connotation everywhere.

Let me take you around the world. Let me introduce you to celebrities you otherwise would not have known. You probably are familiar with their faces. But, you don’t know all of their names.

I don’t blame you one bit. This list was created as a reference and a guide. Furthermore, you can use our list if you ever travel around the world.

Nollywood (Africa)

My family and I have Netflix subscriptions. I noticed Netflix has a database of foreign movies. They have movies from all over the globe, including Africa.

Several of these films are from Nollywood. Nollywood is a portmanteau. It’s a combination of Nigeria and Hollywood into one.

I recommend watching foreign movies. You may have to put the captions on; but you will enjoy them. Moreover, many African films are in English. Mind you, they don’t have the best diction. It is still entertaining.

The Top African celebrity is Chinua Achebe. The 84 year-old is a world-renowned novelist. He is most famous for his 1958 novel Things Fall Apart. He also won the 1989 Nobel Prize in Literature.

The singer Akon is ranked number five. Although he was born in St. Louis, Missouri he has Senegalese roots. Both of his parents are from Senegal. He is categorized as African for the purpose of our list.

10. Femi Kuti
9. Oumou Sangare
8. Yvonne Chaka Chaka
7. Salif Keita
6. Wole Soyinka
5. Akon
4. Angelique Kidjo
3. Didier Drogba
2. Youssou N’dour
1. Chinua Achebe

“Zollywood” (Brazil)

I invented the portmanteau “Zollywood.” I combine the word Brazil with Hollywood. Maybe, it will catch some steam.

Brazil is a place where they harvest sugarcane as well as celebrities. The Brazilian people are beautiful. Number four on our list is the eye-catching model Gisele Bundchen.

The talented Ivete Sangalo ranks ninth in Zollywood. She is a powerful Brazilian singer with international appeal. I am shocked she is not ranked higher on the list.

Paulo Coelho, a man that writes beautiful words, is second on our list. He definitely has the power of the pen. He is a modern day Brazilian William Shakespeare. You should read the Alchemist if you have the chance.

Because Brazil is a land filled with superb soccer (football) players, many athletes make our list such as Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and Kaká. Soccer (football) prowess is a big reason the world loves Brazil. 

In fact, the top celebrity on our Brazilian list is the great soccer legend Pele. Also, billionaire TV host Silvio Santos squeezes into the Top 50.

10.  Silvio Santos
9.  Ivete Sangalo
8. Kaká
7. Ronaldinho
6.  Ronaldo
5. Roberto Carlos
4. Gisele Bundchen
3. Neymar
2. Paulo Coelho
1. Pele

“Chollywood” (China)

China’s Hollywood is well populated. The celebrity Fan Bingbing 范冰冰 is cream of the crop. The Beijing News ranked her first on the “50 most Beautiful People in China” list.

Fan Bingbing is the face of China. The thirty two-year-old actress is idolized in Mainland China. She is also a singer and producer.

Martial artist and actor Jackie Chan comes in fourth on the “Chollywood” list. Chan has a global following. He has acted in not only Chinese films but in American movies as well.

Did you know that Jackie Chan is a comedian and singer too? On an international scale, Chan is first in China. The world appreciates his body of work in the Rush Hour franchise.

It is shocking Jet Li is not on the Chinese list. He has an international audience a lot like Jackie Chan. Jet Li apparently isn’t as popular in China as he is worldwide.

I wrote an article titled Top Ten Foreign Language Films. Number one on the list is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Can you guess who stars in this film? None other than Zhang Ziyi, who holds a rank in the middle of our Top 50.

10. Lin Chi-ling 林志玲
9. Jolin Tsai
8. Huang Xiaoming黃曉明
7. Yang Mi楊冪
6. Eason Chan陳奕迅
5. Zhang Ziyi章子怡
4. Jackie Chan
3. Andy Lau 

2. Jay Chou 周杰倫

1. Fan Bingbing 范冰冰

Bollywood (India)

Bollywood is the Indian Hollywood. Show business in India is growing fast. A number of actors from India have made a stop at Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles.

You have to respect the Indian movie industry. Bollywood is becoming a major global industry. The International Business Times speculates that in two years Bollywood will bring in $5 billion annually.

Currently, India’s Hollywood is generating over $3.5 billion. Actor Shah Rukh Khan helps make this possible. He is a top five global celebrity. Katrina Kaif comes in ninth on the Bollywood list.

10. Hrithik Roshan
9. Katrina Kaif
8. Ranbir Kapoor
7. Virat Kohli
6. Akshay Kumar
5. Amitabh Bachchan
4. Sachin Tendulkar
3. Salman Khan
2. Mahendra Singh Dhoni
1. Shah Rukh Khan

Hollywood (United States)

Here is Hollywood, the mother of all entertainment. You would have to go back to the Shakespearean days in order to compare it to a summer’s day. The Los Angeles district wears its badge, as the entertainment capital of the world, proudly.

Oprah Winfrey is queen. Lady Gaga is the princess. Steven Spielberg is king. And, Justin Bieber is the prince.

The following celebrities are the most recognized in the United States. Popular daytime TV host Ellen DeGeneres is in the bottom 50, mainly because of the competitive nature of Hollywood. In other words, it’s fairly difficult to make the top ten in America.

Notably, there is only one athlete on this list- Roger Federer. Furthermore, Federer is Swiss.

I was shocked to see Madonna at number five on the list. But, you have to remember at one time she was first. Madonna is an icon much like Marilyn Monroe.

The beautiful Beyoncé Knowles is fourth. Beyoncé is a triple threat. She sings, dances and acts. I feel she should have been in the top three. But, the global ranking is bigger than my opinion.

10. Ellen DeGeneres
9. Justin Bieber
8.  Roger Federer
7. Bon Jovi
6. Taylor Swift
5. Madonna
4. Beyoncé Knowles
3. Steven Spielberg
2. Lady Gaga
1. Oprah Winfrey

Honorable Mentions

Japanese

Just in case you travel to Japan, the following top five is a good reference. These five celebrities are acknowledged as the top five in Japan. You may want to learn these names.

Cutie pie Haruka Ayase is first on our Japanese list. The other celebrities are: Keiko Kitagawa, Yui Aragaki, Aoi Miyazaki and Namie Amuro. Japan has a mini Hollywood.
5. Namie Amuro 安室奈美惠

4. Aoi Miyazaki 崎葵

3. Yui Aragaki 新垣

2.  Keiko Kitagawa 北川景子

1. Haruka Ayase  绫濑

Mexican

Selena Gomez is first on the Mexican list. She is only 21 years old but has incredible star power. Her Come & Get It YouTube video has more than 224 million views.

Demi Lovato is in fifth place. The singer of Skyscraper VEVO video has been viewed 124 million times. She is the same age as Selena Gomez. I think that in due time she will surpass Selena and become the nuevo numero uno in Mexico.

5. Demi Lovato
4. Ricardo Montalbán
3. Eva Longoria
2. Cheech Marin
1. Selena Gomez

French

Emma Watson, 23, is second in France. Do you see a pattern? Young

and attractive women are disproportionately high on our list.

The dazzling 28 year-old Léa Seydoux rounds out the top three actors


from France. The IMDB has a wealth of information. Also, the Box

Office Mojo is a reputable source.

5. Juliette Binoche

4. Mélanie Laurent

3. Léa Seydoux

2. Emma Watson

1. Eva Green

German
The following actors are the top five German actors in 2014.

5. Sibel Kekilli
4. Elisabeth Röhm
3. Diane Kruger
2. Bruce Willis
1. Michael Fassbender
British
The following picks are the most popular Brits chosen by Piers Morgan. As you can see, Simon Cowell is first. Piers Morgan is a little bias, because he works for Cowell.

Still, Simon Cowell deserves to be in the top five alongside: David Beckham, Cheryl Cole, Prince William and Ant & Dec.

5. Ant & Dec
4. Prince William
3. Cheryl Cole
2. David Beckham
1. Simon Cowell
