What Brad Pitt Can Teach Channing Tatum

BY: GURU JAY
  
Tinseltown was created for stars like Brad Pitt and Channing Tatum. For what it’s worth, Matthew McConaughey falls in the middle. Eventually Brad Pitt will retire as promised.
Looking back at Brad Pitt’s career, he has every reason to rest on his laurels. First of all, he’s married to one of the sexiest women alive. Plus, he has all the money in the world. Thanks to World War Z, Brad is immune to poverty.
Have you seen Inglorious Basterds, The Big Short and By the Sea?
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button actor should have won an Oscar already. I could build cases for his performances in Burn After Reading and Fury too. By the way, I forgot to say he is one of the sexiest men alive. Do you agree? Millions of adoring fans worship at his feet.
Brad Pitt has taken on challenging roles all while making it look easy. I feel Channing Tatum best deserves to inherit Pitt’s best-kept secrets. Noticeably, Tatum engages his audience through Twitter and social media. Pitt is old school in this respect.
Moreover, Channing Tatum movies are by in large lighter than Brad Pitt’s films. Brad Pitt can teach Channing how to be taken more seriously and still have a good time. White House Down displayed the movie star in his finest element.

I also thoroughly enjoyed his performances in 21 Jump Street and 22 Jump Street. His chemistry with Jonah Hill can’t be faked. Like Brad Pitt, Channing Tatum can play a variety of parts.
I want to see a Channing Tatum and Jennifer Lawrence sex scene before it’s too late. For now, we can look forward to the Hot Commodity Chris Pratt having sex with Jennifer in The Passengers.
I believe Brad Pitt should mentor Channing Tatum. Hollywood’s secrets should be passed down only to the worthy. Channing Tatum has proven his worthiness.

How Jennifer Hudson Is a Winner

BY: GURU JAY
  


American Idol was the launching pad for many great musicians. Although Jennifer Hudson didn’t win the contest, she’s had one amazing career. What is more, she won the Best Supporting Actress for Dreamgirls.
Do you remember when American Idol was the number 1 rated TV show? How many years was Paula Abdul at Simon Cowell’s mercy? And don’t forget about our DAWG Randy Jackson. Kelly Clarkson was the first winner 15 years ago and is still relevant.

I believe Jennifer Hudson is a better actress than singer. She’s a fine performer. The Chicago native works hard and directors like that about her.

The celebrity can change expressions at the drop of a dime. Moreover, give Hudson credit for being conscience of the roles she accepts. She’s not hungry for a paycheck. However, she’s ready to deliver topnotch performances. Do you want to see her on Broadway or what?

Without question, her voice was made to be loud and sweet. I feel Jennifer Hudson is unique. Do they even make her pedigree anymore? Watch her American Idolaudition and you’ll see what I mean. Plus, the star shed 80 pounds since auditioning; and she was a spokeswoman for Weight Watchers.
In addition to a striking vocal range, Hudson demonstrates terrific acting range. Her Mister & Pete performance conveys enormous emotions. She’ll take you there. Wherever you want to go, let this Chicago homegirl be your tour guide.

There’s no doubt JHud is a multitalented entertainer. Clive Davis is on the record calling Jennifer Hudson the next Whitney Houston. There’s still some time left for Hudson to produce a few best selling albums.
It seems her movie success has stalled her music success. Right now I believe she should focus exclusively on singing, recording, and touring because Whitney Houston set an extremely high bar musically. This year I expect Jennifer to turn up her music game a level.

The Think Like A Man music video shows the star in glowing light. Coincidentally, I love her Spotlight single. The No One Gonna Love You songstress gets her fair share of love shown from fans and collaborators.

Can you picture a Jamie Foxx and Jennifer Hudson duet? What if Jennifer made a love song with Jordin Sparks? It could be similar to Beyoncé and Alicia Keys– Put It In A Love Song.
Final point, Jennifer Hudson is a fighter. She was an underdog. Like Erykah Badu and Jill Scott, she’s got soul. I’m always rooting for her to win on the job and in life.

Oscars Recap

BY: GURU JAY

February 29 is a rare day. It is my honor to write and publish on a Leap Year. I will choose my words carefully considering this special opportunity.
Last night, my family and I watched the Oscars while eating dinner and later on some corn for popping. Host Chris Rock took control of the stage right from the start. In the words of Kevin Hart on the red carpet, Rock addressed “the elephant in the room.” Many of Chris’s jokes crossed the line, but wasn’t this expected?
Early on the musical sounds of Sam Smith filled the room. Additionally, Brie Larson won Best Lead Actress for Room. But first, Alicia Vikander (Spotlight) earned it for Best Supporting Actress. However, that was after the Weeknd performed Earned It.
Do you spy a pattern? Mark Rylance won Best Supporting Actor for his Bridge of Spies performance. If you weren’t a fan of repetition, you might be furiously angry that Mad Max: Fury Road scored 6 Oscars. Comic Louis C.K. lightened up the mood with his Mad Max bit.

Marvel supermen Chadwick Boseman and Chris Evans announced Mad Max for back-to-back awards. Plus, Superman himself Henry Cavill presented alongside Scandal’s Kerry Washington.
On a serious note, Lady Gaga made a bold move with her song standing against sexual violence. Spotlight received the Best Picture. Once again, Alejandro Iñárritu earned Best Director for The Revenant. The Revenant was also awarded Best Cinematography.
I always enjoy watching the Red Carpet. Robin Roberts and Michael Strahan gave fantastic interviews. It almost felt like the SuperBowl.
Ex-Machina deservingly took home a statute. Ryan Gosling joked that he and Russell Crowe shared 2 Oscars between them. Oh, in case that wasn’t enough, Chris Rock raised $65,342 selling Girl Scout cookies for his daughters inside the Dolby Theatre.

Last but not least, Leonardo Dicaprio earned Best Lead Actor for The Revenant. I believe this was his moment. All of Hollywood was proud of Dicaprio as he stood tall on that stage and accepted this amazing achievement. The moral of the story is: always believe in your dreams. Given an opportunity, take a leap of faith.

Sofía Vergara’s Hot Body of Work

BY: GURU JAY

  
What would Modern Family be without Sofía
Vergara? Go to Sofía’s Twitter page right now and it reads: Modern Family! She embraces her role as a hot foreign wife/ mama and that’s what I believe makes the show great.
Her character lets her husband lead the old fashioned way. However, the other characters have different structures in their relationships. There is a gay couple. And there’s another couple where the wife takes charge. Clearly, Modern Family represents modern times.
I caught last night’s new episode of Modern Familybecause I promised you a Sofía Vergara story. How can I write about Sofía’s hot body of work and exclude her hottest work?
In this episode, the neighborhood lost their electricity due to a thunderstorm. They kept trying to regain power and failed until the end. All I really cared about was Vergara’s character. I wanted to see her latest material in order to create fresher content.

 

I feel most bloggers blog about the same stuff and that gives readers the same old tired stories. I want you to hear my voice by reading my words. Speaking of voices, I enjoy listening to Sofía talk in a Colombian accent. It’s a sexy tone, am I right?
This celebrity has my number. Remember numbers don’t lie. Millions in Latin America are proud of Sofía Vergara’s accomplishments. She is a success story.
The Hot Pursuit actress hasn’t cooled off any. She’s still hot as ever. Plus, her hotness was on full display during last night’s episode.

Last summer I published a piece called Sofía Vergara, Eva Longoria, and Brand/ Star Power. I explain how Vergara is more of a brand and Longoria is more of a star. I stand by my words but I now realize Vergara has reached superstar status.
Sometimes I feel like Shakespeare and must compare summer days to beautiful women.
Sofía Vergara should receive a life time achievement award. She has achieved success as a model, talk show host, comedienne, and actress. The brand and star came a long way from Colombia to Hollywood. What would Modern Family be without Sofía Vergara? Perhaps a better question is- what is TV and showbiz without Sofía Vergara?

Tom-Tom: How Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise Control Hollywood

BY: GURU JAY
Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise represent strong ideologies. I know where you think I’m going with this. Hold on a second.
I won’t discuss Scientology although the subject matter might generate considerable attention for me and controversy. The ideologies I’m referring to are their mentalities and philosophies about approaching acting and filmmaking. I consider Tom Hanks to be the best actor. And I believe Tom Cruise is the best movie star.
I call this phenomenon Tom-Tom. Tom-Tom is a popular navigation tool aka GPS. This device pinpoints location and directs drivers to destinations. Without question, Tom-Tom’s creator created one of technology’s greatest breakthroughs.
Because of satellites, software, and advanced mappings, we arrive at point B more precisely. Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise combine their talents and efforts to create Hollywood’s own Tom-Tom. Their movies have long influenced the entertainment business like no others.
In a sense, they control Hollywood’s current with their well-polished wind turbines and fancy solar panels, which brings me to my question. How much energy can two people generate?

Show Tom Cruise more respect for his acting ability. In order to perform at the peak, one needs peak skills. What is the Mission Impossible movie franchise without the franchise player? The notion that a movie star can’t be an actor and vice versa is false. Cruise should have won an Oscar because the actor is undeniably great.
Also, ask a Tom Hanks fan if she considers the Forrest Gump actor to be a movie star. I’m here to say you can get a taste of the best of both worlds. It’s been proven that life is full of possibilities. Always ask what if…? because you’re unlimited when passion takes over.
I respect Hanks and Cruise because they navigate their waters like Christopher Columbus. Both men command their ships like captains. Here’s a great segue.
Tom Hanks’ performance in Captain Phillipswas one for the ages. How does he keep getting better with every film? What director doesn’t fantasize about casting the Castaway?
Moreover, Vanilla Sky remains one of my favorite movies. I wonder if Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz would ever tie the knot. I could watch Vanilla Skyeveryday because of the onscreen relationship between Cruise and Diaz.
In closing, Tom-Tom controls Hollywood. All films schools (worth their tuition) should study Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise. What is more, Tom-Tom movies are worth their prices of admissions.

Being Julia Roberts

BY: GURU JAY

Who is the best actress? The name Julia Roberts answers that question. Throughout her storied career Julia Roberts has delivered iconic performances.
Let’s celebrate her filmography. She’s appeared in Academy Award winning titles seemingly as a hobby. Movie industry experts respect Roberts because she respects her profession.
Julia is highly trained and gifted. Critics come out the woodworks and write a review when she plays in a movie. Secret in Their Eyes saw enormous criticism (no pun intended) because it was deemed a “Julia Roberts” film. In other words, expectations are heightened and fears are lowered.
Ever since Pretty Woman, the beautiful actress has been expected to perform to perfection. Usually, Julia comes through on promises. She went from a promising career to a promised career.

Producers give her the star treatment. And the celebrity’s fans worship her. What woman, pretty or ugly, wouldn’t want to be Julia Roberts for a day.
Her niece Emma Roberts is extremely lucky. Julia seems like a genuine and kindhearted human being. You hardly ever hear about the celebrity body slamming Paparazzi. Maybe, she lets her bodyguard do the manual labor. That’s his job, right?
Being Julia Roberts entails major responsibilities. She’s a wife and mother of three. No, she doesn’t have three husbands although she could find two additional partners because her name is Julia Roberts. Check out the following video and you’ll see the perks of being Julia Roberts.

I’ve seen several of the passionate thespian’s films. I’m quite familiar with her filmography. My favorite Julia Roberts movie is The Pelican Brief. It is a well-written script. Plus, the acting is incredible.
Moreover, I recommend seeing Mona Lisa Smile, America’s Sweethearts, and Eat Pray Love. Finally, Erin Brockovich is an absolute must-see movie. Ironically, I believe The Pelican Brief prepared Julia for the Best Actress Oscar.

If you desire to become famous, follow Julia Robert’s footsteps. Sometimes you’ll stumble but falling is necessary in order to grow. Get back up, dust off your shoulders, and keep on going.

Why Reese Witherspoon Is In the Upper Echelon

BY: GURU JAY


Reese Witherspoon is one of Hollywood’s hottest actresses by design. She was destined for greatness. It was only a matter of time before her name would shine in big bright lights. The glowing Hollywood star can play the country girl or the city hipster.
I enjoy watching Reese Witherspoon because she desperately desires a second Oscar. Although she earned Best Actress 10 years ago for Walk the Line, the devoted actress is long overdue another one. Unfortunately, Hollywood has a political agenda.
The Awards committee is always trying to make a statement. It’s not about who’s the best anymore. It’s more about who serves their cause the most.
Reese Witherspoon deserved an Oscar for Wild. Despite continual unfairness, Reese takes losses like a champ. The Legally Blonde just makes another case for the Academy.

I highly recommend Mud starring Matthew McConaughey. Witherspoon is a fantastic supporting actress. She stirs up emotions like Grandma’s gumbo.
What’s her secret sauce? The mother of three can relate to her characters. She isn’t too far removed from reality.
Reese Witherspoon was one of Hollywood’s highest paid actresses for many years. In 2010, the gorgeous star earned a grand total of $32 million according to Forbes. She still commands a hefty salary because she is a producer and actor.

Studio executives recognize Reese’s star power too. In addition to name recognition, her face is instantly recognizable to millions around the world. Speaking of millions, the Richest estimate that the How Do You Know? actor’s net worth is $80 million. That’s a lot of cheddar considering the cost of living in Hollywood is sky high.
Fortunately, Reese Witherspoon isn’t splurging on nonsensical and nonessential material goods. She seems to have a good head on her shoulders. Hopefully the mature actress can knock some sense into these newbies.
It’s difficult living large like a celebrity. You need to watch your business manager, accountant, lawyer, and doctor with suspicion. Don’t trust anybody but your mother. Reese Witherspoon is in the upper echelon because she’s smart. Plus, she chose great movies to star in and is an expert performer. The stunning beauty is absolutely amazing.
