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.

Actress America's Next Top Model Brands business Celebrity Coyote Ugly Entertainment Fashion Gossip Guru Jay Hollywood hot Models Oprah Runways Supermodels Talk TV Tyra Banks Wendy Williams

Is the Supermodel Tyra Banks a Superwoman?

BY: GURU JAY

Is this supermodel a superwoman? She can pass as Wonder Woman. Black Widow had better watch her back, because Tyra Banks is on her tail.
Actually, the celeb is an underrated actress. Her success in modeling overshadowed her film career. She held her ground in Coyote Ugly.
I wonder how much Banks spends in a year. Every time she goes out in public she looks glamorous and fabulous. Tyra branded herself like Oprah.

What is more, she is living out her dreams. I respect anybody with passion. What would America’s Next Top Model be without Tyra Banks?
The businesswoman unapologetically negotiates deals and starts up businesses. Miss Banks maintains credibility. It’s incredible how much she receives the benefit of doubt in the fashion industry.


Keeping up appearances applies to everything people do. You can’t go to work looking nasty. Plus, attitudes can boost morale.
Can you believe Tyra Banks built a career off of her looks? Try Googling “pretty woman” and you’ll see Tyra’s image pop up. Aspiring models should take note of how to diversify their earnings like Tyra. 
You see the celeb doesn’t put all her eggs in one basket. She acts, sings, and gossips. Before Wendy Williams was given her big break, the Tyra Show strutted on TV.
Who could have predicted this? Appreciate how Tyra started small and finished big. I believe the supermodel serves as a wonderful role model for young women.
You can’t deny that Tyra turned herself into an international figure. Moreover, many in the modeling communities consider Banks to be the best ever. Think about her realm of influence.
Sure, she stumbled a few times. But, Banks believed in her brand and star power. “When you wish upon a star, it doesn’t make a difference who you are.” Fundamentally, the devoted Tyra practices an unbreakable philosophy.

Trust me, this lady is an unstoppable force in entertainment.

Carlos Santana Celebs concerts Electric Guitar entertainers Guru Jay Hispanics International Jimi Hendrix Latinos legends Maria Maria Mexicans Music Oprah Rock and Roll rock stars Sensations

Experience the Creative Sounds of Carlos Santana

BY: GURU JAY

Have you heard Carlos Santana’s electric guitar? How can I describe the creative sounds of Carlos Santana? Imagine paradise.
Have you noticed the best entertainers are eccentric? Like other celebrities, Santana has pet peeves. You see the music artist knows exactly what he wants do, and where he needs to go.
After nearly 50 years of activity, he hasn’t slowed down yet or missed a beat. It’s safe to say he follows the law of self-preservation. How about sipping some champagne in his honor?

If you desire to master the science of electricity, apprentice under an electrician. If you desire to master the arts of the electric guitar, utilize Carlos Santana as your mentor. What is more, the dynamic music artist is willing to teach.
Nowadays, finding exemplary entertainers is extremely difficult. Understandably, no one wants to lose his or her edge. That why some singers seem sketchy.
They think one hit will suffice. That’s when you realize how precious the Mexican sensation is to true artistry. You know that Santana sacrificed blood, sweat, and tears.

Plus, his passion resonates with people. His music connects with Latin America as well as the whole world. I’ve heard him do some things I thought only Jimi Hendrix could do.

Who else can make his guitar talk like Oprah? What other guitarist receives as much respect as Carlos Santana? If you search his music catalog, I guarantee you’ll find hidden gems. Discovering this music artist is similar to walking on the moon.
Finally, his sound harmonizes a performance. Singers can feel his powerful presence on a song. How amazing is this musician?
It is a magnificent sight beholding his beautiful music. Don’t you enjoy his creative sounds? Unfortunately, practicing day and night won’t get you to where Santana is now.

I believe his abilities are God-given.

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.

actresses Celebrities Entertainment Guru Jay Hollywood Jessica Biel Justin Timberlake Katie Holmes Mark Wahlberg Movies Oprah power couples Scarlett Johansson Suri Cruise The Kennedys Tom Cruise

Imagine You Were Jessica Biel & Katie Holmes

BY: GURU JAY

Picture this: You’re married to Justin Timberlake and your ex-husband calls himself Tom Cruise. Justin makes a masterful music video called Mirrors. Plus, Cruise made you feel like the only girl in the world.

Scenario 1
Justin Timberlake sings, “ I don’t want to lose you now. I’m looking right at the other half of me. The vacancy that sat in my heart is a space that now you hold.” More importantly, you are expecting your first child together.

Scenario 2
Your fiancé Tom Cruise anxiously tells Oprah and the whole world “I’m in love” referring to you. Then, he jumps on Oprah’s couch causing a memorable scene. Your marriage to Cruise lasted six years and you cherish every second. What is more, you have a beautiful child from this experience named Suri.

Jessica Biel and Katie Holmes are two of my favorite actresses. I’m not saying this because they’re gorgeous. Trust me when I say Biel and Holmes are amazing and unbelievable.

Batman Begins would not be the same without Katie Holmes playing the love interest. Furthermore, critics applaud Katie’s work on the Kennedys. Have you seen Teaching Mrs. Tingle, Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark, and Mad Money?
It’s so hard for actors to get consistent parts, let alone make millions of dollars like Katie. Holmes has built a respectable career. Almost every actress aspires to be on her level.

When you want a kick-ass soldier and female fighting machine, call Jessica Biel. Biel brings substance to Stealth, Home of the Brave, and Total Recall. Imagine Jessica Biel as the lead actress in Transformers: Age of Extinction with Mark Wahlberg.
Doesn’t Hollywood need another female action movie star besides Angelina Jolie? I don’t want to take away from Scarlett Johansson’s thunder. All I am saying is Jessica Biel deserves action roles because she’s proven herself in past films.
Go back to imagining you were Jessica Biel and Katie Holmes because you can be anything you want.

Beyoncé Celebrities Dr. Dre Dr. Oz Dr. Phil Floyd Mayweather Glenn Beck Guru Jay Highest paid Howard Stern James Patterson Manny Pacquiao Mark Burnett Oprah Rachael Ray Simon Cowell Steven Spielberg

Top 10 Highest Paid Celebrities

BY: GURU JAY

 
With $82 million, Oprah Winfrey takes the 10th spot. Why does Oprah consistently rank as one of the highest paid celebrities? Here’s a clue. She owns everything.
Oprah has established and operates a micro media conglomerate. Harpo productions produces Rachael Ray, Dr. Phil, and Dr. Oz TV shows. What is more, the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) contributes greatly to the talk queen’s financial success.
At 9, newcomer Mark Burnett made his fortune rewriting the Bible. Speaking of writers, long time novelist James Patterson ranks as the 8th highest paid celebrity. At the this point, Patterson can sit back and wait for his royalty checks. To the contrary, the Along Came a Spider author steadily creates and develops new content.
Coming in at 8, it should come as no surprise that Fox News anchor Glenn Beck collected $90 Million. Beck has his hands in aplenty. For instance, in 2010 the journalist started Beck University.
Colleagues Simon Cowell and Howard Stern each earned $95 Million. Remember the American Idol days when Simon had a chip on his shoulder. How about when Howard interviewed Playboy bunnies and sexpots?
Director Steven Spielberg, who made a cool $100 Million, is number 4. Spielberg excels at entertainment. You know he harnessed Halle Berry’s star power as an Extant executive?
In addition, Floyd “money” Mayweather (the best ever boxer) generated $105 million. Mayweather will finally fight Manny Pacquiao. Look for TBE to move up 2 spots next year.
Like Oprah, the 2nd highest paid celebrity is no stranger to big purses. Why are people jealous of Beyoncé? She’s an exceptional entertainer, who’s fairly compensated for her craft. When you make $115 million it comes with strings attached.
Last but not least, don’t forget about Dre. Dr. Dre earned $620 million after several years of working smarter.

English Music Royalties: Adele, Leona Lewis, and Sam Smith

Hollywood’s a town big enough for the both of us. Although show business seems cutthroat and ruthless, it still has a low barrier to entry. If you possess skills and talent, there’s a seat for you around Oprah Winfrey’s dining room table.
Advertising, merchandise, album, and ticket sales finance the entertainment industry. If you stay positive you’ll have massive appeal and lucrative royalty checks to show for it. In fact, royalties make up large portions of a celebrity’s paycheck.
Music Royalties
Beautiful music lyrics such as Sam Smith’s ‘Stay With Me’ and dynamic arrangements like Adele’s ‘Rolling in the Deep’ inspire my blogging. In the words of John Legend “My love” for music is “passed the infatuation phase.” There’s something extraordinary about the English sound of music.

Adele, Leona Lewis, and Sam Smith were ordinary people before becoming music royalties. They have singlehandedly transformed our listening experience with their hit singles. Whenever I listen to ‘Bleeding Love’ it stays stuck in my head for 48 hours.
Ladies and gentlemen, we’re witnessing legends in the making. Adele’s soaring popularity is on par with Katy Perry’s social media fame. Furthermore, Adele has created several staple songs capable of reaching billions, and lasting for generations to come.
TV, Radio, and the Internet
I’ll never forget this TV commercial that introduced me to Adele’s music. Moreover, I remember first listening to Leona Lewis on the radio. And, I found Sam Smith via a viral Internet video.
Music artists utilize multiple platforms to permeate their messages. Fortunately Adele, Leona, and Sam produce mainly positive and uplifting lyrics. Anyone with British background is greatly proud of these English music royalties. All three musicians connect with broad audiences and adorn genuine styles.
