Who’s Winning? Charlie Sheen Vs. Rihanna

BY: GURU JAY


Rihanna has one of the most durable brands in music. And Charlie Sheen is ‘winning!’
Thank you Twitter for promoting this epic battle between Charlie Sheen and Rihanna. In case you missed the boat, Charlie called Rihanna out for refusing to meet his girlfriend at a restaurant. And so, Badgirl Riri tweeted a bad 140 characters to Carlos Estevez after he blasted her via the TMZ train.
If you ask me, they are both full of themselves. Both sides need to loosen up and deflate their egos like NFL balls. Riri has bigger fish to fry than Sheen. And Chuck should just shut his trap.

Charlie, we get it. You are a TV icon. And you made some great movies like Wall Street and Major League. But buddy, music is a different ball game. Rihanna has a navy fleet of supporters.
Rihanna, we get it. Who doesn’t want to meet you? Charlie tried to impress his fiancé. But baby, you do catch more flies with honey than vinegar.
Give Rihanna a break because she deals with millions of crazies everyday. Seriously, look at Charlie’s Twitter and compare it with Rihanna. Sheen should have chosen his words more carefully. 
We haven’t seen the best of Rihanna yet. Not even 27 years old, the Barbados princess hasn’t peaked. At 33, Beyoncé is still Queen Bee and in her prime.
On the flip side, Sheen had his day with Two and a Half Men. Charlie started acting in ’73 largely because of his father Martin’s connections. Sheen can brag all he wants about “experience.” However, he neglects to mention he followed Martin’s footsteps.
Rihanna clawed her way to the top, steadily grinding. She doesn’t deserve Charlie calling her an ‘ungrateful idiot.’ I can’t support Chuck’s blatant disrespect. He should apologize to Rihanna pronto. Anyway, Eminem is a text away from dissing Sheen in a rap.

ALS American Idol Celebrities dark comedy drama Empire Entertainment family Fashion Fox Guru Jay Hollywood Lee Daniels Music musical Musicians soap opera Taraji P. Henson Terrence Howard TV

Who’s Watching Empire? Part II

BY: GURU JAY
Who’s watching Empire on Wednesdays? If you love music, dramas, and dark comedy, check out this hip new TV show. Also, if you enjoy watching characters develop, reserve your seat now. It doesn’t cost anything to join the fun!

Recap
When Lucious (Terrence Howard) loses his voice at the fundraiser, he calls on his ex-wife and not his fiancé Anika to deliver a persuasive speech to investors. Sneaky Anika poisons Cookie’s client because she’s so bitter and petty. Later on, she discovers Terrence and Taraji (Cookie) having sex in the master bedroom.
Taraji’s character is straightforward, hard working, and convincing. She proves you don’t need a Harvard education to appeal to Ivy League graduates. That’s what stubborn and superficial Anika doesn’t understand.

Anika is standing in her own way. She’s hurting the Empire by sabotaging Cookie. Furthermore, this family is more dysfunctional than the Addams.
Jamal and Hakeem are trying to set aside their differences. Neither one realizes older brother Andre orchestrated Jamal’s robbery. Will the younger brothers find out eventually?
Music is a cutthroat business and Empire shaves off beards. Terrence Howard aka Lucious Lyon built an empire with ex-wife Cookie’s assistance. Lucious finally reveals to Cookie and his three sons that he’s stricken with ALS. The dominoes are falling into place and Cookie is crumbling hard.

Empire airs tidbits at the end to keep you waiting for the next episode. While this builds up anticipation, it also spoils some of the fun. I suggest Empire show one week of material at a time, rather than clips from the entire season.
Following American Idol in Fox’s TV lineup, Empire is both a musical and soap opera. Decorated movie veteran and creator Lee Daniels brings his talents to television in spectacular fashion. Under Daniels’s direction, Empire is headed toward greatness.

60s 70s Celebrities free speech George Bush Guru Jay hard work James Brown Jay Z Joe Cocker John Lennon Kanye West Kim Kardashian money Motown Music radio Richard Nixon Vietnam War Woodstock

Kanye West and 60s/ 70s Music

BY: GURU JAY


I was born in the eighties but I still listen to music from the 60s and 70s. With Woodstock, the world’s nuclear proliferation of music climaxed at the height of the Vietnam War. During this time musicians revolutionized radio, while President Nixon secretly recorded Oval Office conversations.
Born in 1977, Kanye West listened to the Motown sound. Also, Chicago native Curtis Mayfield heavily influenced Kanye’s earlier work. From the beginning, West spoke his mind. And his big mouth got him into trouble after saying George Bush doesn’t care about black people.

The Champion rapper soon realized the power of free speech. Big Brother Jay Z treated Kanye as a son. That’s why West walks around calling himself Yeezus.
Apparently, the whole world’s fascinated with inflation. West’s claim to fame is his big ego. And Kim Kardashian built a big butt enterprise. Keeping up?
Hip-Hop fans know Kanye West samples 60s and 70s songs. I gotta find my Jackson 5 album. Who remembers the Beatles first tour to the states? 

It seems everyone was doing drugs. That’s why your parents lose their trains of thoughts and car keys.
Every music artist should pay homage to Bob Dylan, Brue Springsteen, and the Rolling Stones. Before this technological explosion, musicians like James Brown worked hard for the money. Have you seen the Get On Up movie?
The music industry has changed for the better. Although we can’t bring John Lennon back to life, we can choose to acknowledge music pioneers. Greats like Joe Cocker rejuvenated countless souls. Appreciate dynamic artistry while you can.

Back then, albums held true value. Remember Stevie Wonder’s Inner Visions and Marvin Gaye’s Inner City Blues. There is a high chance your favorite rap song contains musical content from this period.
Whether you like Kanye West or not, he has an excellent ear for music. West respects the legends from the 60s and 70s. Give him a break.

Beck Beyoncé Celebrities concerts Ed Sheeran Entertainment Grammys Guru Jay Hollywood Kanye West Katy Perry Lady Gaga Music One Direction Paul McCartney Pharrell Recap Rihanna Sam Smith Stay With Me

Relive the Grammys: Recap

BY: GURU JAY

Pharrell’s Happy performance highlighted the 57th annual Grammy Awards. The Voice judge and his minions commanded the onstage voyage. All the singing and dancing lifted our spirits. Who else clapped along with Pharrell?
The absence of music in this so-called ‘advanced’ yet divided world causes ruckus. In essence, music connects people better than technologies such as: Verizon, iPhones, Google, Facebook and Twitter. Please don’t underestimate Pandora and YouTube’s power. Music saves humanity from destruction.
When Beck won best album, I first thought billionaire David Geffen paid off the Academy. Beck is one of Geffen records’ prized assets. Were you stunned when Prince called Beck? I said to my friends, Prince is probably stoned and incorrectly read the card.
During the announcement, Kanye West teased Beck by pretending to takeaway his trophy. After the show ended, Fox News reported West verbally punched the musician and the Grammys. Kanye reiterated why Beyoncé deserved top honors.
West, Rihanna, and Paul McCartney put on a great performance. You can watch FourFiveSeconds on RihannaVevo. Frankly I’m pissed by the lack of respect this new generation gives to Paul McCartney. Paul and the Beatles paved the way for Sam Smith, Ed Sheeran, One Direction, 5 Seconds of Summer and many more musicians and bands.

In addition, I enjoyed watching superstars Sam Smith and Mary J. Blige sing Stay With Me. Sunday night belonged to Sam Smith who gathered four Grammys. The Academy loves Lonely Hour because Smith poured his heart into the album. Also, Ed Sheeran’s Thinking Out Loud featuring John Mayer moved the crowd. The Grammys demonstrated why they are the best entertainment award show.
President Obama, who earned two Grammys, recorded a moving speech against domestic violence. Then, Katy Perry gave an emotional rendition of By the Grace of God. Finally, Beyoncé sang Take My Hand Precious Lord. Glory singers Common and John Legend concluded the night with a glorious recital.
The Grammys prove that music still contains a message. Even in a materialistic society, there are things more valuable than money. Love and Happiness are priceless.

Beyoncé Celebrities Coldplay dancing Destiny's Child Entertainment Famous Fifth Harmony Grammys Guru Jay Hummer magazine cover money Music Partition Rolls Royce sex symbol Single Ladies Tupac Shakur

How Beyoncé Became Famous

BY: GURU JAY


Is it ironic that Queen Bee’s music creates buzz? If Beyoncé were an artist, she’d sculpt masterpieces. The Flawless songstress makes passionate ballads and original songs.

Like Tina Turner, Beyoncé drives a Hummer. Big wheels keep on turning and the proud Ava Maria singer keeps on singing. Bee rolls around in Rolls Royce’s as well as dough.

Because Beyoncé delivers like Fed Ex, she tops my favorite pop star list. There’s a ton of musicians who lookup to Queen Bee. What is more, music lovers appreciate her steadiness. While Partition receives the highest critical acclaim, other songs such as: Rocket, No Angel, XO and Drunk in Love are noteworthy titles on the self-titled Beyoncé album.

Who else dreamt of dating Beyoncé? Who remembers when the dream girl posed on the Sports Illustrated magazine cover? Do new fans understand the entertainer’s gradual rise? Nothing, except miracles, happens overnight.


Beyoncé became famous by constantly touring and making media appearances. In addition to practicing routines, Queen Bee practices humility. In spite of sometimes appearing narcissistic, the Houston native doesn’t have a problem with staying grounded. 

Mrs. Knowles-Carter recently reached peak performance. Can you imagine the Freakum Dress creator getting freakier? By now, you’ve learned to never underestimate her sexiness.

The entertainer’s dance moves are mesmerizing. Fifth Harmony mimics Knowles’s choreography and discography. Fifth Harmony grew up imitating Destiny’s Child. 

In retrospect, Beyoncé used Destiny’s Child as a steppingstone. Going solo may have been lucrative for Bee but at who’s expense? Furthermore, who’s really at fault for Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams’s fading fame?

Hopefully, Fifth Harmony stays the course like Coldplay. However, if it means creating the next Beyoncé they should breakup. You see they don’t make them like this anymore.

Beyoncé is famous for a reason. Becoming a celebrity is like playing poker. In the words of Tupac Shakur, Queen Bee got dealt a hell of a hand- 1 royal flush.

How Jennifer Lopez Built the JLo Brand

BY: GURU JAY
Nowadays, anybody can be famous. Buy a digital camera or use your fancy iPhone to record your intriguing or foolish lifestyle. Look no further than the Real Housewives as a prime example.

Long before reality TV, Jennifer Lopez was real. In fact, JLo lived by that motto coining a song I’m Real. Respect Jennifer Lopez because she’s truly talented. 

ROCK THAT BODY

In the process of building her brand, the entertainer reportedly insured her ass for $27 million. With the invention of Nicki Minaj now the price of booty has doubled. In this superficial industry, JLo’s body rocks like a Black Eyed Peas song.

The super fly lady’s body is out of sight. She works hard to stay in shape. Give credit where it is due. Who represents Puerto Rico and the Bronx better than Jenny from the block?

BRAND NAME

Like Pepsi and Blue Magic, JLo is a brand name. Why hasn’t American Gangster Denzel Washington made a movie with Jennifer? Hollywood has dropped the ball.

Jennifer Lopez constantly complains about choosing the wrong partner. Frankly, the triple threat celebrity intimidates boyfriends. You see we still live in a world where men are expected to provide for their families.

Puff Daddy (Diddy) and JLo were perfect for each other. Although her love didn’t cost a thing, Lopez needed a bossy man. Jay Z might listen to Beyoncé but in the end he calls all the shots.

JLo shines brightly because like a distant star she’s been here awhile. Without Lopez, Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato would not be multimillionaires. People pay attention to Jennifer, because she’s an exceptional entertainer who crossed boundaries.

Music lovers and movie buffs can’t get enough of Jennifer Lopez. Who makes better dance music and romantic flicks than the booty pioneer? Good music makes girls twerk their butts. In a recent blog post, I proposed that Jennifer Lopez and Shakira make a single. I want to see JLo and Mariah Carey too.

How Shakira Became a Quadruple Threat

BY: GURU JAY

Recently, Shakira amassed 100 million Facebook likes, setting a Guinness World Record. Socially, what celebrity can compete with the musician’s global appeal and international recognition? Evidentially, the Beautiful Liar songstress leads more followers than Twitter suggests.
As her ship’s captain, the Colombian singer steals booty like a Caribbean pirate. Because she sings in Spanish and English, her influence reaches twice as many people. Who affects more individuals than the Latin American sensation?
In a nutshell, Shakira became a quadruple threat by consistently creating exciting movements. Judging by her body of work, the music lover likes dancing and keeping her lovely figure. Anatomically, Shakira defines sexiness with her curvaceous physical structure.
If Kim Kardashian supposedly broke the Internet, then the Can’t Remember to Forget You celebrity breaks YouTube all the time. The Bohemian is iconic and legendary in entertainment circles. According to Forbes, the entertainer resides in Nassau, Bahamas.


The Whenever Wherever musician maintains a relentless mentality and elevated attitude. What is more, Shakira seems confident and capable. Though the first-class entertainer plays multiple instruments, she doesn’t play second fiddle.

Furthermore, the multi-talented celebrity keeps muliti-millions in her Swiss and Cayman bank accounts. It makes perfect sense why she isn’t an American citizen… One word: taxes. Facebook cofounder Eduardo Saverin renounced his American citizenship in order to avoid taxation before the social media company’s historic Initial Public Offering.  
If they were stocks, I would buy Shakira before Madonna. While the Material Girl pays better dividends, the She Wolf has a higher valuation. Although they’re both sex symbols, the Colombian singer commands more attention.

What’s stopping Voice judge from recording and performing with American Idol judge Jennifer Lopez? A diverse population wants to see this collaboration happen. And we all know Shakira makes it happen! That’s how she became a quadruple threat.
