Ellen DeGeneres Should Make Oprah Money

Ellen DeGeneres Should Make Oprah Money


The generous Ellen DeGeneres generates electricity on the Ellen show. When the lights are out, the first thing you do is call the electric company. How about giving Ellen a call the next time this happens. I can’t make any promises but I’m sure she’ll at least make you smile.

For 14 years Ellen has been doing exactly that and eating the cake. Everyday on the Ellen Show is like your birthday. You never know what’s up her sleeves. The celebrity is full of surprises.

Soon, she’ll be giving away cars to everybody like Oprah did. Like orange is the new black, Ellen is the new Oprah. You watch.

Wouldn’t it be great if she starred on the Netflix hit OITNB? At a minimum, she could make a cameo or maybe voiceover even. Who’s waiting?


Her creativity assists in an entertaining experience. Speaking of experience, who else in showbiz (but Oprah) can match her clout?

Another thing- what if she did Carpool Karaoke with James Corden? That’s why I love celebrities and entertainment so much. There’s a whole lot we can do. Let your imagination run wild and I’ll take you there.

Do you like the Ellen show? I’ll say it again! Ellen DeGeneres is a standup gal. You like to watch her because she’s amazing at monologues and interviews.

Last week was premiere week on Ellen. I got a chance to watch the full Friday show live. In case you missed it, Tom Hanks made a grand entrance. What is more, DeGeneres donated her largest gift in history to her home state of Louisiana. As you may know, Louisiana got hit hard by flooding recently.


Ellen couldn’t stand by and watch this devastation. This is why Britney Spears (who took the famous Ed O’Neill Selfie) joined the team. Right now, it is incredible that the talk show host is backing up her words with action.

Why We Need Insurance On Donald Glover and Trevor Noah

Why We Need Insurance On Donald Glover and Trevor Noah


Donald Glover and Trevor Noah are two of the biggest names in comedy and entertainment. Movie industry executives come knocking on their doors. In other words, they’ll always find work in showbiz because their brands are durable. What is more, Glover and Noah stay ready to shake, rattle, and roll.

Tina Fey took Donald under her wing when he was 21 years old as a writer for 30 Rock. Since then, the multi-talented entertainer has released rap albums, starred in comedy specials, and been featured in movies. Without question, the celebrity provides premium entertainment value. That’s why he has appeared on premium cable channels such as Comedy Central.

South African sensation Trevor Noah turned his standup career into a comfy desk job. He is the perfect host for the Daily Show. He doesn’t just make it look easy; you can tell he’s having the time of his life. Nobody can deny the jolly good fellow’s energy.

Trevor Noah and Donald Glover are two celebrities who can make a difference with their words. From Johannesburg to Pittsburgh, people care about what Trevor has to say. Moreover, Donald influences the comedy world because he is one of the hottest comedians right now.

Like the greats Richard Pryor and George Carlin, these comics aren’t afraid to risk everything. They’ll gladly leave it all out on the table if it means creating superior content. Also, their comedic IQs are on genius levels. You rarely see comedians who are able to appeal to everyone.

I chose to write about Donald and Trevor because they have opposing styles. You see the American is laid back and the South African is high-energy. When it’s all said and done, we have a winning combination.

At the end of the day, these comedians are relevant. Plus, they make a killing from the comedy game. That’s why we need insurance on Donald Glover and Trevor Noah.

How Lil Wayne and 50 Cent Make Money

How Lil Wayne and 50 Cent Make Money


People can’t wait until Lil Wayne drops a beat and 50 Cent drops a dime. It’s a constant blast at concerts because these rappers don’t stop the music or drop out. In other words, they get the party started and the fans hyped up.

Does it take One Direction to see I’m going somewhere with this? Lil Wayne and 50 Cent are on different levels than regular people. The Young Money rap artist and the I Get Money singer have earned their rights to be braggadocios.

Let Lil Wayne pour champagne on his cellphone. Does it matter if 50 Cent makes it rain in Da Club? He’s not into making love anyway.

Rap is poetry. Lil Wayne and 50 Cent are thug poets. They tell vivid stories about their lifestyles before and after fame. They sell flossy images which the media loves to buy at whatever cost. 50 Cent has portrayed a gangster and turned into a legitimate businessman.

Did you know Lil Wayne aka Young Weezy doesn’t sleep much? That’s because he’s superhuman. The celebrity said he’ll catch up on ZZZs in retirement.

Moreover, I don’t know what you heard about him but 50 Cent is a P.I.M.P. Like Snoop Dogg 50 has built a persona and there’s no backing away from that right now. Do you watch Power on Starz? 50 Cent is 1 hell of an actor. He’s the man. I really like the bridge to I’m the Man. Shout out to Sonny Digital.

Young Weezy is turning into a nightmare in a good way. Listening to Weezy’s rap is like watching a horror movie. There’s so much suspense and a lot of fire.

Oh yeah, for some reason I think about popcorn too. Maybe, A Milli gets stuck in your frontal lobe every time you play it. Lil Wayne has that verse: You pop em cause we pop em like Orville Redenbacher.

You see, his lyrics should be dissected like frogs in a science class and digested like peas in a pod.

In a nutshell, Lil Wayne and 50 Cent make money by simply telling vivid stories and selling flossy images.

#1 Answer Best Blogs brand Celebrity comedy Entertainment Family Feud Famous People Funny Guru Jay Hollywood Hollywood Actors Little Big Shots money Movies Showbiz Steve Harvey Steve Harvey Show TV

Why Steve Harvey Is the #1 Answer

BY: GURU JAY

Are you sick and tired of seeing these tensed uptight people? They walk around with their snotty noses up in the air and look down on everybody. Don’t let it get you upset. The truth is they’re miserable inside. They don’t have any sense. And they definitely don’t have a sense of humor.
Steve Harvey is the answer to their problems. Buy a Steve Harvey DVD and give it to these people. They desperately need more laughter in their lives. Over the years, Harvey has a built a name for himself on TV, radio, and in movies.
Consider his dominant TV presence. Hosting Family Feud is a prestigious honor. His hit show Little Big Shots is a new sensation. Also, the comedian’s daytime talk show helps establish his durable brand. The multitalented entertainer can sing a little too.
He’s up for all challenges. He’s a workaholic. But it’s his moment. You rise up to the occasion when it’s your chance to swing. Opportunities have an expiration date like milk. Don’t spoil your talent and waste my time.

Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man changed the game for Mr. Harvey. Can I keep it real? Before that he was a borderline has-been. However, he never quit… thank God. The celebrity is too resilient to succumb to defeat. Moreover, Steve’s spirituality keeps him whole.
Yes, his net worth stands at $100 million and growing. But his real value is his manhood. He takes care of his responsibilities and provides for his wife and family in non-financial ways as well.

At the end of the day, remind people to get their priorities in line. Realize what’s truly important before it’s too late. Forgive yourself for making mistakes. But shame on you for making the same mistakes repeatedly. Ironically, Steve Harvey is most likely the highest profile comedian in the world because of his Miss Universe screw-up. The takeaway is to learn from your failures in order to succeed.

Jay Z, 80s Entertainment, and Money

BY: GURU JAY

80s Entertainment

Enter into my time machine. Let’s enjoy 80s entertainment. The world was so much different and so much the same as now.
Music reached a creative climax around 1988. Movies saw a boost from graphics and special effects with Star Wars and Disney films. Although there was a recession, musicians like Michael Jackson and Madonna, and movie stars such as: Clint Eastwood and Eddie Murphy thrived as the entertainment business boomed.
Did you know President Ronald Reagan was an actor before becoming Governor of California and Leader of the Free World? Plus, radio and television entertained millions before the World Wide Web ever existed. It was a much simpler time.
Kids were bullied the old fashioned way. There was no such thing as SnapChat. They had pagers or beepers back then. You actually called people on their home phone lines.
Nowadays text and email make communicating impersonal. Online bullies hide behind supposed anonymity and avatars. Still, my iPhone and your Android is kind of awesome.

Jay Z

Defy odds by taking chances. Look at Oprah. A few years ago, Oprah launched the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) with Discovery Communications as a partner. She gambled and thankfully OWN is profitable.
The first program I watched on this network was Master Class. The guest was none other than Jay Z. Without Jay Z, I doubt Kanye West would have a great rap career. With Jay Z, Kanye West’s status elevated.
People attribute Jay Z to a rags to riches success story. I own Blueprints 1 and 2. If you have Blue Print 3, can I borrow it?

You see Jay Z defies odds and takes chances everyday. So people believe in him because he exudes confidence or as he calls it “swagger.” How many folks dream about meeting Oprah, let alone get interviewed by her?

I often fantasize about the future and apply my thoughts to the present. While I reflect on the past, I don’t concentrate on regrets. Roc Nation Sports is a major imprint because of the founder’s fearless attitude.

Jay Z was made in the 80s. Like entertainment he is a business. Learn from him and start strategizing. Jay Z not only mastered the art of music making, but also the science of making money.

Ali Concussion Dwayne Johnson Entertainment Focus Furious 7 Gridiron Gang Guru Jay Hancock Hitch money net worth richest actors San Andreas the Fresh Prince the Game Plan the Rock Will Smith WWE

How Dwayne Johnson & Will Smith Made Their Names Famous

BY: GURU JAY

  
Focus lead actor Will Smith was the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air for six seasons before becoming Mr. Box Office. Despite questionable decision making such as role selections, Smith always over delivers and never disappoints. Don’t fault a man for taking chances.
Most fans recall Dwayne Johnson’s WWE days as the Rock. Thousands have rented his Pay-Per-View World Wrestling Entertainment Championships. Nowadays, Johnson need not answer the question “if you smell… what the Rock is cooking?” In Hollywood and around the world, he is known as a premiere movie star.


What do the Rock and the Fresh Prince have in common? They started on a small scale and finished second to nobody. Also, it helps that these highly demanded actors simultaneously improved their skills as well as their physiques.
Watching Will and Dwayne perform onscreen is akin to seeing an athlete in action. It’s like spectating a NBA slam-dunk contest starring Blake Griffin and LeBron James inside a packed movie theater. As a professional wrestler Johnson can compete toe-to-toe with the best NFL Linebackers and Defensive Ends.
If you haven’t seen Gridiron Gang or the Game Plan, you don’t know what you’re missing out on.

Doesn’t Matt Kemp resemble Will Smith?

Have you seen Hancock, Hitch, or Seven Pounds?

Plus, Smith & Johnson are the richest actors. Sources estimate Dwayne is valued at $150 million. And Will’s net worth exceeds $250 million. Even Jay-Z would say they are “getting money like athletes.”
Johnson can learn a lot from Smith, who owns a stake in the Philadelphia 76ers. Will and Dwayne don’t ever have to worry. No matter what happens they are guaranteed money because of their legacies.

I consider Johnson to be one of the best movie stars right now. Moreover, Smith is one of the greatest actors I have ever seen across eras. Smith deserved Oscars for Independence Day, the Legend of Bagger Vance, Ali, Pursuit of Happyness, and I am Legend.

Dwayne Johnson and Will Smith first made their names outside of acting. The Rock wrestled and the Fresh Prince originally from Philadelphia emceed. The takeaway is to do your best and keep getting better.

brand businessmen Ciroc Common Diddy Empire Entertainment ever-changing family Fashion Guru Jay Hip Hop Jay Z Kanye West money pop culture rap music Revolt TV Sean John vodka

Why Diddy’s Brand Is Ever-Changing

BY: GURU JAY

How many times has Diddy (Puff Daddy, Puffy) changed his brand name? The Hip-Hop impresario reinvents and expands his businesses. Sure you know that he maintains Sean John, a fashion company. But did you also know in October 2013, Diddy founded a digital cable television network named Revolt?
These days some people see Diddy as the Ciroc playboy. In actuality, Puffy’s empire crosses over into a variety of industries. Furthermore, Diddy represents diversity. That’s why Diddy conducts business with all kinds.
More so than Jay-Z, Diddy influences Kanye West and the Hip-Hop world. Master P was unsuccessful as an agent but there’s no doubt he inspired Jay-Z’s formation of Roc Nation Sports. If Jay-Z is the Warren Buffett of Hip-Hop, then Diddy is Bill Gates, and Dr. Dre is Carlos Slim. At the end of the day, they’re all about the Benjamins, baby!

The entertainment business has enough entertainers but not enough businessmen. What should be done to reverse this course? How about stopping young men from only thinking in the temporary mindset? What if they invested in themselves instead of buying Bentleys, Maseratis, and Ferraris?
There’s nothing wrong with splurging and flossing when you’re financially educated. Diddy owns fancy cars, clothes, and gems but he’s also highly invested in lucrative businesses. How many stars own stocks?
Diddy’s brand is ever-changing because the rap icon understands living in a violent world. Harlem’s globetrotter realizes that rough and tough circumstances make you stronger and don’t dictate unfavorable outcomes. While predicting the future is fool’s gold, preparing for the worst is not only best but also wise.

Look beyond Puffy’s personas and you’ll find class and personality. In every instance, Diddy makes mention of his family. Oscar winning music artist Common was right, “Even in this generation living through computers, only love…can reboot us.” What is more, Diddy recognizes the common thread bridging together both prosperity and posterity.
