How Lady Gaga Makes Bold Moves

BY: GURU JAY


How does Lady Gaga stay relevant when most of her peers fade out of the limelight? You see Gaga is hot right now because she makes bold moves. First, the celebrity gambled on Art Pop. Then she toured with Tony Bennett, which was weird, but she received a big boost from it. As a result, she scored a Barnes and Noble endorsement deal alongside the legendary Tony.
I don’t know about you but my Twitter feed was blazing because of Lady Gaga’s role on American Horror Story. Just when so-called authorities counted Lady Gaga out, she raised the stakes. Remember, we’re talking about a one of a kind entertainer here.
In case you didn’t know, I believed in Lady Gaga in the beginning stages. I made a bold move by publishing this piece called Why Madonna Must Answer to Lady Gaga. My skin grew thick 3 inches because of that article alone. The lesson is haters are gonna hate, but like Taylor Swift I’m just gonna shake- shake it off.


I like Lady Gaga’s music. Plus, I appreciate her dedication and drive. She doesn’t sleep on fans, but does she sleep with them? In every way, Lady Gaga is a sex symbol. The fact she’s gothic separates her from your everyday sex symbol.
Lady Gagaexpresses her emotions without sobbing and sending invitations to her pity party. The musician goes beyond the music. She challenges society’s perceptions and problems.
Perhaps, Poker Face is her all time greatest hit. But I don’t believe she’s finished topping the charts yet. Hasn’t she clearly demonstrated her devotion to singing and the performance arts?

Recently, Gaga and Kendall Jenner made the headlines at Marc Jacobs Show. Add model to Gaga’s resume. Anyone can see the girl is fearless. She’s comfortable walking on stage, singing on stage, dancing on stage. It doesn’t matter. Like Demi Lovato, she’s asking the world what’s wrong with being confident.
Lady Gaga deserves your full attention. I’m not easily won over and I wasn’t Gaga’s supporter from day 1. However, after listening to her music, watching her music videos, and seeing her interviews, on the 3rd day I determined she was great. Greatness recognizes greatness.

I was put off by her boldness at first. But that has been her calling card. That’s why I believe the Lady will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

I’ve been a writer for 15 years. If there’s one thing I believe in, it is freedom of speech…The First Amendment of the Bill of Rights. Unfortunately, I’m beginning to notice how celebrities are losing privileges and hard earned money because they express publicly how they feel privately. It seems celebrities no longer own or control themselves.

They’re effectively censored or silenced by corporations for voicing what’s deemed to be politically incorrect. That’s flat out wrong because there are two sides to a story. This may end up stagnating society. How can our country make progress if we’re only in one frame of mind?
Give it up for Lady Gaga because she speaks her mind. It doesn’t appear she’s owned and controlled by a corporate entity. Whether or not you agree with her on the issues, at least respect the fact she’s bold enough to state her positions.

Watching Idris Elba

BY: GURU JAY


I desire to watch better TV. Many people waste time surfing channels and watching garbage because bad TV is easy to find. On the flip side, there are some great shows out there just waiting to be found. Can you recommend me some shows to watch?
Lately, I’ve been watching Luther starring Idris Elba. If you’ve never seen Luthergo check it out. Detective Chief Inspector John Luther (Elba) doesn’t fiddle his fingers when investigating crimes.
There is no separation between Idris Elba and the lead character. I believe Idris is one of the best method actors because he’s focused on creating superior quality.

It’s interesting seeing Elba as Luther because England is a trip.
Let me warn you that digesting Lutherepisodes require a strong stomach. The DCI deals with all sorts of sociopaths and demons. Some weird shit goes down, so be prepared.
Of course, the acting is top notch. I also enjoy the writing and artistic direction. Jessica Jones reminds me of this in a way. However, Luther is more realistic.

I’ve been a fan of Elba for 11 years. Do you remember The Gospel and Daddy’s Little Girls? He gave Gabrielle Union the butterflies. I’m not saying the feeling wasn’t mutual because the Being Mary Jane actress is a bombshell. That’s my perspective on things.
And who could forget Elba’s scenes in American Gangster starring Denzel Washington? All of Elba’s characters seem believable and distinguishable. He embodies the meaning of acting…to become someone else. Check out my Beast of No Nation Movie Review.
Idris Elba’s film and TV credits speak volumes. Does Elba dominate the silver screen or what? That’s why every actress and female reporter/correspondent looks forward to greeting Idris on the red carpet. He has sex appeal like Johnny Deppand Leonardo DiCaprio.

Who’s watching Idris Elba?

Why Jim Carrey Is the Einstein of Comedy

BY: GURU JAY


Canada brews amazing beer like LaBatt Blue and Molson. Also, Canada breeds superior comedians. Case in point, Jim Carrey came out of Canada. The Liar Liar actor plays memorable characters because the man himself makes a lasting impression on you. All of his impressions (including his first one) are great.
Do you remember his dynamic impersonations and sketches on the In Living Color TV series? Did you know Jamie Foxx and Jennifer Lopez became famous on In Living Color as well? Like TV screens, opportunities come in all shapes and sizes.
Everybody has seen a Jim Carrey movie. This celebrity’s popularity spans the globe. Moreover, Jim turns the comedy world on its axis. He plays God in Bruce Almighty. Of course Morgan Freeman, who’s well known for authoritative roles, hands over his supernatural power to the Unnatural standup comedian. Plus, Jennifer Aniston plays a perfect wife.
Don’t get me started recommending Jim Carrey movies because I find tremendous value in most of his work. My middle school gym teacher lived by the motto “Do what you love and you’ll never have to work a day in your life.” I believe Jim Carrey loves comedy, acting and entertaining. That’s why his movies habitually break the box office bank.

Like me, passion guides Jim Carrey’s direction. His confidence enables him to complete his missions. I’ve studied Jim Carrey for several years.
I’ve concluded that his brain is hardwired differently. Stephen Hawking has one of the smartest minds. And Jim Carrey has one of the funniest minds.
Although he’s known for Dumb and Dumber, Jim Carrey is the Einstein of comedy. You got me started. I highly recommend the following movies for entertainment: Yes Man, Fun with Dick and Jane, The Mask, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, The Truman Show, and The Cable Guy.
Finally, let’s discuss Jim Carrey movies in the comments. After all these years, how amazing is it that Jim Carrey keeps in touch? He consistently creates great content. I create original entertainment stories and Jim Carrey is an original entertainer.

The Rawness and Genius of Ricky Gervais

BY: GURU JAY

Where do you find originality in entertainment? Celebrities copy each other and it’s an accepted practice. How often do you hear the same jokes delivered by different comedians?

There are few originals and millions of carbon copies. Ricky Gervais is one of the few and proud, but I wouldn’t say humble.
I respect Ricky Gervais and his act. I feel there is certain rawness about him. Plus, the man is a genius.
Ricky Gervais invented a larger than life persona. I don’t believe he is arrogant in real life. Gervais shares a similar style with Stephen Colbert.
Moreover, his sense of humor and timing is one of the best in show business. And he is a brilliant comedy writer. Funny people have always had a job from jesters to clowns to comedians. I’d bet money there are some jesters in this celebrity’s genealogy.

You can count on Ricky Gervais to amuse your ears, but he won’t clean them. Dirty words make up the bulk of his vernacular on set. You receive that rawness. It’s common knowledge that a lot of times it’s not what you say but how you say it that matters.
Why isn’t Ricky Gervais in more movies? It would be nice to see him expand more into filmmaking. The comedy world seems restrictive. For example, Amy Schumer should have been able to make Train Wreck a lot quicker. Also, what’s holding up the Richard Pryor Biopic?
I believe the world itself has too many restrictions. In 2016, we are advancing technologically but humanity is headed backwards. There’s a total lack of empathy. I applaud Ricky Gervais because he brings to light what’s happening, specifically the human disconnection in an “anti-socially” connected society.
As a satirist Ricky Gervais makes pressing observations. He uses the stage like agent 007 James Bond and Agent 86 Maxwell Smart. That’s pure genius.

He may get trashed at a Hollywood after party but he doesn’t waste his talent. I love entertainment because it’s all about having a good time and being happy. We gotta take breaks and enjoy our lives because tomorrow is not promised to anybody. Anything can happen at anytime and anywhere. So, let’s make the most of our time right here and now.

Why Kimora Lee Simmons Is Exceptional

BY: GURU JAY

I’m not a reality TV fan, although I’m fascinated with some reality TV stars. I don’t watch Keeping Up with the Karsashians, but I enjoy gazing at Kim Kardashian’sTwitter and Instagram selfies. I’m busy Keeping Up with Myself.
Still, I realize many of my fans love reality TV shows and some hate them with a passion. I know hate is a strong word that’s why I used it. I got to get paid. That’s the reason why you won’t find many reality TV stories.
I believe the majority of reality shows are a waste of time. However, there are exceptions. I make an exception for documentaries because knowledge is power.
Are there guilty pleasures? Yes, people like certain shit for a variety of reasons. Nowadays, no one doesn’t have an opinion. Everybody has a problem. I have a solution.


I make an exception for Kimora Lee Simmons. I used to watch Simmons for entertainment purposes and enlightenment. Kimora was an important brand ambassador for Russell Simmons’ empire.

What is more, Kimora built her own trademarked products while helping Russell prosper. That’s why they’re still on good terms today despite their divorce. They nipped it in the bud by becoming best buds. Both parties are happy now. Simmons makes you smile after a hard day of work because she loves life.
Kimora Lee Simmons is one of the finest fashion models ever in the entertainment business. The biracial celebrity is an exotic beauty with Korean heritage. Lee’s modeling success is well documented. Plus, Lee’s business acumen has been validated.
The celebrity deserves credit for Phat Farm and Baby Phat, especially. I believe Kimora Lee Simmons is a brand name because she’s the one and only. Is she on Tyra Banks and Heidi Klum’s level? You could build a case for that.

Kimora can work well in front of the cameras and behind the scenes. Fashion designers equally admire Lee’s fashion and business sense. Here’s a gal who struts her stuff and knows her stuff too.

Why Kal Penn Is Dynamic

BY: GURU JAY
After Harold & Kumar went to White Castle, they got trapped in Guantanamo Bay. Then, years later the dynamic duo celebrated a very merry Christmas together. It’s easy to see how Kal Penn got wrapped in his Kumar character. Yet, we shouldn’t define an actor based solely on one movie franchise.
My favorite TV show used to be House. As Dr. House, Hugh Laurie was the meanest man on TV. In contrast, Kal Penn played one of the funniest men (Dr. Kutner) on that hit show.
Also, let’s give extra credit to Kal for his performances in Van Wilder and Van Wilder 2: Rise of Taj. Unlike Kumar, Kal Penn is not a slacker because he steadily keeps a paycheck. The actor has two movies, The Layover and Going Under, coming out this year.

Some people confuse Kal Penn with Aziz Ansari. Here’s how to distinguish these similar celebrities. Remember Aziz stars in Master of None and played a major role in Parks & Recreation. Kal Penn actually served in the Obama administration.
Kal Penn does New Jersey proud. Doesn’t his name sound like an elite college rivaling Princeton University? Who would make a better Mayor of Newark than Penn?
Although it’s not in Kal Penn’s nature to need attention, he deals with burning questions by soaking in the fun. I’ve watched numerous interviews in which the movie star uplifts the mood. He has a natural ability to make people laugh.

It’s a damn shame that a celebrity is held to a higher standard than a CEO. The public shouldn’t buy into the media’s balderdash. The so-called “news organizations” should cover the corporations responsible for destroying millions of lives, instead of the entertainer of the week. That’s why I admire Kal Penn for expanding into politics.
In today’s messed up world filled with grief, I focus on supplying good news. I decided to write about Kal Penn because he is truly an upbeat comedian. The funny man has fine-tuned his sense of humor. This actor not only presents high quality jokes and entertaining stories, he personifies greatness. In a nutshell, Kal Penn is dynamic.

How Eva Longoria Makes TV Better

BY: GURU JAY
Telenovela starring Eva Longoria is a funny Latino TV show. NBC desperately needs the Desperate Housewife to perform in its lineup. Let’s give Longoria some time to develop her character before writing off the new series.
One thing is for sure; Eva is one of the hottest 40 years olds in TV history. She’s slowly cashing in on her brand power. Moreover, her star power is already extraordinary.
Even if Telenovela is cancelled, Eva will keep going and going like the Energizer Bunny. In other words, the actress is well equipped with battery power as well.

She belongs barefooted on the beach in a bikini. The Paparazzi pounces on the chance to snap photos of a half-naked Eva Longoria. I won’t say her body is perfect but I will say her body has minimal imperfections.
Curves come in handy when the director yells cut and action. Did you know Eva Longoria is a director and producer too? If you want the biggest payday, consider directing and producing. An average director pulls in more bucks than the highest paid actor.
Because the senorita’s an executive producer of Devious Maids, she can kick her feet up and light a cigar- or bong depending on the mood. The celebrity can make demands because she’s a mover and shaker. Moreover, Eva has perfected her rhythm.
It seems meeting the Dalai Lama had a profound effect on the star. She’s in tuned with her chakras.

Plus, Eva Longoria is part of the 19 Best Black and Latina Actresses. People underestimate her dramatic skills because they typecast her. While Eva’s great in the comedy genre, she isn’t one-dimensional.
After watching Harsh Times, you’ll see a different side. Also, you’ll like Christian Bale and Michael Pena (who plays Eva’s husband). How does the Latin actress please everybody?
Who doesn’t want to Salsa dance with Longoria? Longoria mixes it up without missing a beat.
TV is an unsafe place considering all the violent depictions. We can do without bloody murder on our living room screens. The world needs more sitcoms and less criminal thrillers. That’s why TV is a better place everytime Telenovela airs. Let’s thank Eva Longoria for portraying positive imagery.
