Are You Addicted to Power TV?

My brother first told me about the Power TV show on Starz back in 2014. Now, my sister watches it and everybody in my circle does so too. For what it’s worth, I’ve watched every episode in every season; and, I can attest to the TV show’s exceptional quality.

I think anybody concerned with gaining street knowledge should watch Power because there are morals to their stories. Although Tommy should be idolized, you do realize that he’s going to end up in a body-bag eventually? Also, you might as well conclude that Ghost is dead already since everybody has took a stab at killing him since season 1. There’s clearly a plot to kill.

But James St. Patrick is strong. He won’t die. Remember what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. Omari Hardwick’s character is fundamentally fit to be a drug kingpin for years to come. And dying right now is bad for business, specifically the marketing department.

It’s the characters that give life to the story. Who’s your favorite character? Isn’t Omari Hardwick the best actor? And Joseph Sikora is the shit too. But my favorite character is SPOILER ALERT… Lobos (sorry to see you go.)

I like Lobos aka Jefe (translated as Boss in Spanish) the best because he did the least amount of work and reaped the most amount of money. While everybody was doing the dirty work, Lobos kept his hands and feet manicured and pedicured, respectively. They feared and respected him the most.

The writers room on Power come up with incredible ideas. The writers don’t stop developing their story lines. There is always something unexpected in the script. Moreover, the directors and producers take their time positioning key players and putting key pieces in place. I love creator Courtney A. Kemp.

Finally, the music contributes significantly to Power’s greatness. Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson created a few good songs for the show. Big Rich Town and I’m the Man are on my playlist right now.

Are you addicted to the TV show? It is a superior product for certain. Everything about Power is excellent.

Adrienne Bailon Best Blogs Celebrity Entertainment Guru Jay Hollywood Jeannie Mai lifestyle Loni Love Ranking the Real Reality TV Showbiz Tamar Braxton Tamera Mowry The Real TV TV and Showbiz TV shows

Ranking the Real

BY: GURU JAY


Do you watch daytime TV? Maybe you’re watching the Real right now. The Real is one of my favorite talk shows. There’s no other show quite like it.


I love the Real cast because they don’t hold anything back. Every last one of them makes a contribution. But, let’s be real…who does the best job?


  1. Loni Love

I’m partial toward comedians, so Loni Love gets the edge. Plus, she contributes more value to the show because of her humor. Who could forget her performance in Mall Cop 2, where she brings down the house?


Loni Love reminds me of a younger Whoopi. Does anyone else see the familiarity. They both have a similar style and stage presence. Loni controls the set like an air traffic controller.
  1. Tamera Mowry

The Sister Sister starlet has transformed into a reality TV supernova. Without question, Tamera adds class and a mixture of spice. We value her opinions because she’s honest about her life.


The wife and mother is relatable to her audience. Tamera opens up and tells the truth about herself. What is more, she’s a strong believer in God.


  1. Tamar Braxton  

As the youngest sibling, I can identify with Tamar. She is smart, talented, generous, and kind. Braxton would rank higher but she’s absent sometimes. On the other hand, absence makes the heart grow fonder.  


  1. Adrienne Bailon

Adrienne always comes up with sensational stories. She shows appreciation and gives gratitude. Perhaps, the most perky of the bunch- no one questions her spirit. Bailon loves dancing and many single men love dancing with her.   


  1. Jeannie Mai

Fashion expert Jeannie Mai specializes in clothes, so she’s the fashionable #5. In order to survive, people need clothing. And in order to thrive, you want an eye for fashion like Jeannie Mai helping you fit in your clothes.


What’s your ranking of the Real cast? Tell me in the comments.

$100 000 Pyramid ABC Actors athletes Celebrity Entertainment Famous People Game Show Hosts Guru Jay Hollywood Hosts Michael Strahan Personality Stars Talk Show Hosts TV TV and Showbiz TV shows

The Like Factor of Michael Strahan

BY: GURU JAY

What makes you like someone? Why do certain people have a special effect on you? I believe there is something called The Like Factor.


You’re either likable or you’re not. You have it or you don’t. And Michael Strahan has it. Plus, the personality is a likable guy.


He has a big stature minus the big head. All this means he wears big pants with the deep pockets. He also wears many hats. Best known for Live! with Kelly and Michael. Right now he hosts Good Morning America.


Next up on his plate is serving as host of $100,000 Pyramid. Have you seen the commercials? He says something along the lines of “this is not what mama had in mind when she told me to get a summer job.” That’s another reason I like Michael Strahan.


The celebrity cares a great deal about his family.  He speaks highly of his father who is an army veteran. We have that in common. Army Brats stick together.


Moreover, Michael Strahan is becoming more like LL Cool J. Ladies love this most eligible bachelor. It wouldn’t surprise me if ABC arrange for him to appear on the hit TV show- The Bachelor.   


At this point in time, Michael Strahan can bank on his good name. Frankly, he is the bank with a $55 million net worth. Who wants a bailout?


For the most part, he keeps it light. He’s not afraid to try new things. In Entertainment, it’s important to be adjustable. That’s why I go with the flow.


The Like Factor of Michael Strahan has a very strong effect on people. His charisma plays a large role in his appeal to a wide audience. He’s famous for his sharp intellect and powerful work ethic too. All these qualities and more define his status.

Asian Actresses Celebs Charlie's Angels Chinese Entertainment Grey's Anatomy Guru Jay Hollywood Stars Jackie Chan Kill Bill Korean Lucy Liu Maggie Q Models Movies Nikita Sandra Oh TV shows Vietnamese

Celebrating Beautiful Asian Actresses: Lucy Liu, Sandra Oh, and Maggie Q

BY: GURU JAY

Critics consider Lucy Liu to be the best Asian actress. The Charlie’s Angels star proves she belongs in the top actress conversation by demonstrating her incredible talent. In addition, her Kill Bill performances are memorable because you hardly ever see the Asian actress play villainous.
How many times must I mention that I love Lucy for you to believe me? I believe Lucy Liu inspires millions of aspiring actresses regardless of race. Also, the lovely actress has played in numerous mega budget movies.
That’s why we are familiar with her face.

And the world recognizes her star power. In a sense, Lucy Liu is symbolic. She represents noble ideas such as tranquility and patience.

I used to watch Grey’s Anatomy sometimes because of Sandra Oh. I thought, “There goes a woman with beauty and brains.” For a long time, she was the most prominent Asian actress on network TV.
Although, her character is off the air, Sandra Oh stays on our minds. Sandra strived to give fans a realistic perception of Asian women.
Again, I was never a Grey’s Anatomy fanatic. Though, I remember encountering a variety of fanatics in college. Picture 30+ 18- 21 year-olds crowded around a TV set watching a dramatic TV show about doctors. Sandra Oh helped create those super fans.

Maggie Q kicked ass on Nikita. She was unbelievable at times. If Nikita were on ABC, NBC, or cable, then it probably would have lasted 4 more seasons. I wouldn’t have let the gorgeous Maggie Q’s beauty go to waste.
Who is better than Maggie as the slender body lead character? Did you know she started modeling in 1996? Jackie Chan discovered Maggie Q around this time. Remember, “Luck is when preparation meets opportunity.”
Finally, at Guru Jay we celebrate Lucy Liu, Sandra Oh, and Maggie Q for their excellence.

Actors Actress American Crime Blackish Bloodline Celebrity Derek Emmys Game of Thrones Guru Jay Hollywood Stars House of Cards Mad Men Netflix Nurse Jackie Ray Donovan Red Carpet Scandal TV TV shows

Who’s Watching the Emmys? Guru Jay’s Preview

BY: GURU JAY

  
Before the Emmys air tonight celebrities are preparing speeches, making last minute adjustments, and putting on their final touches. Celebs can’t neglect a single detail because they might lose treasured scripts. Advertisers are evaluating endorsements. If their Hollywood stars gleam, we’ll see new contracts.
Here’s an analogy for college students. What the Oscars are to movies, the Emmys are to television. TV buffs should tune in tonight.
These are the most talented nominees ever. This year Netflix was the game changer. Netflix earned 34 nominations. Are you a House of Cards, Bloodline, and Derek fan? How couldn’t they nominate a President?
Have you noticed how many prominent movie stars recently received TV shows? It’s great for TV but bad for movies. Unfortunately, it appears actors are being overworked.

Emilia Clarke from Game of Thrones earned Best Supporting Actress in a Drama. Also, I expect the HBO TV show will win more awards than all others. Without Game of Thrones, TV would be pointless.
Both Blackish and Empire were nominated. Anthony Anderson received a nod for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series, while Taraji P. Henson was chosen for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama. Everything Lee Daniels touches turns to gold. So, I believe Henson will come away victorious.
3 months ago I proposed this question: Who is the funniest Amy? The Emmys may answer my inquiry since Amy Poehler and Amy Schumer are competing for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series. I’m not Nostradamus. Edie Falco from Nurse Jackie could get it?
Why do the Emmys nominate new and outgoing shows? Also, an established show like Scandal should collect honors before newbie American Crime. Mad Men and Boardwalk Empire deserved recognition while they aired.

Even casual viewers will enjoy seeing Hollywood stars at the Emmys @ 8 PM.

Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? Blue Collar Celebs comedy comics country Entertainment Funny Guru Jay Jeff Foxworthy Jokes Larry the Cable Guy Movies Rednecks richest show business standup TV shows

Who Is More Country? Jeff Foxworthy Vs. Larry the Cable Guy

BY: GURU JAY

I’ve followed comedians Jeff Foxworthy and Larry the Cable Guy for more than a decade. They’re true to the blue. That’s why Jeff and Larry are the richest comics in show business.
Did you read about their upcoming tour together? It’s generating a lot of buzz. I’m thinking about buying a couple of tickets.
Whenever Foxworthy gets on stage, he makes rednecks comfortable. Rednecks get Goosebumps, when Larry the Cable Guy comes to the stage. Without question, the Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? host is a much safer bet than the Delta Farce. Sometimes, Larry the Cable Guy embarrasses you.
But they can’t say he cheats you. As a standup comic, the Cable Guy still stands as one of the best buys in my book of comedy. What is more, this generation coming up is arrogant and entitled.

Back in Larry’s day, children respected their elders. Nowadays, nobody values anything. I like Larry because like Kevin James, he sweats the small stuff. In other words, the relatable comic cherishes the tiniest of kind gestures. Clearly, society has changed too quickly. Does Jeff Foxworthy lose the message to his story as a result?
I admire how Jeff doesn’t aimlessly throw jokes at you. The man pitches his material like baseball legend Randy Johnson with crazy velocity. While he’s on the mound, his opponents fear for their livelihoods.
Both comics appeal to blue-collar workers. But, I believe white, pink, and green collar workers can value their celebrity offerings. They have a ton to offer the comedy sphere.

If you’re going to a Monster Truck Rally or WWE tournament, tag along with Larry. If you’re attending a hockey match, Jeff is your guy . Although they are both similar, we must value their differences too.
For what it’s worth, Jeff Foxworthy doesn’t stay in character. On the other hand, the Cable Guy is a marketing invention designed to spruce up ticket prices. Anyway, Larry busts your gut all the same.
If Larry is comedy’s Kenny Chesney, that makes Foxworthy Blake Shelton. After a long day of work, you deserve to play their comedy on Blu-ray. I bet a donkey, you’ll laugh your ass off.
In a crowded field, they have mastered their brands and distinguished their art forms. How did Jeff Foxworthy and Larry the Cable Guy reach top status? With your help… these comedians became the cream of the crop.
They wouldn’t get anywhere without a dedicated Southern fandom. Truly, they have followers all around the country and the world even. But, you can’t deny the power of Southern hospitality, which brings me to my final question. Who is more country?

actresses Baby Boy Blackish Celebrity Empire Entertainment Extant Girlfriends Guru Jay Halle Berry Hollywood Movies SAG-AFTRA sitcoms Taraji P. Henson Tracee Ellis Ross TV TV shows Tyrese Gibson

Taraji P. Henson Vs. Tracee Ellis Ross: Who’s Watching Empire and Blackish?

BY: GURU JAY
I reserve Wednesday nights for Taraji P. Henson and Tracee Ellis Ross. TV turn-ons Tracee and Taraji bring a lot to the table. It’s unfair Empire and Blackish airs at the same time.
Who remembers Baby Boy and Girlfriends? Baby Boy is a movie starring Tyrese Gibson as lead actor, and Taraji P. Henson is lead actress. The film features Snoop Dogg and Omar Gooding (Cuba’s younger brother) in key roles. Moreover, Ross plays the lead character in Girlfriends, one of TV’s longest running shows. Fan crazed Game sitcom came from Girlfriends.

It’s wonderful turning on the TV and seeing two dynamic actresses. I believe Taraji P. Henson is one of the best actors in the business. Who’s seen the Curious Case of Benjamin Button? I also acknowledge Tracee Ellis Ross as one of the best comedic actors.

People are fascinated by Tracee’s long legs and hair and Taraji’s perfect silky skin. The beautiful actresses are the backbones of their respective shows. The Empire TV show causes millions of eyeballs to pop from astonishment. And, Blackish simultaneously creates ear popping effects from relentless laughter.

What’s will happen after Halle Berry’s Extant comes back this summer? Hopefully, you have On Demand, or someway to catch everything. With the intro of 3D/ Smart TVs, does it take a rocket scientist to figure out the best acting is returning home?

I believe the TV bubble will burst in 5 years. Show business is saturated and too competitive. If it stays like this, you’ll see a Screen Actors Guild strike. 

Despite my reservations, Taraji P. Henson will always have a job on TV or in film. In case you’re wondering, I prefer Empire over Blackish. But, it’s unacceptable that the shows air during the same time slot and day. I like Tracee but the Blackish Girlfriend can’t compete with His Imperial Majesty and Cookie.
