Pink Vs. Avril Lavigne

BY: GURU JAY
Do you want to rock out with Pink or Avril Lavigne? What are your favorite Pink and Avril Lavigne songs and music videos? Pink gets up in your face, while Avril plays hard to get. It feels like they’re both 40 year olds because their careers have been huge successes.
I believe Pink is the best performer. She’ll do anything to please the crowd. Still, Lavigne is more popular because of her Canadian roots.
You see this happens all the time. Talented Canadians take over the entertainment world. Take Drake and Justin Bieber for instance.
If Justin were from Boston instead of Toronto, he’d have an average career. I’m not advocating becoming a Canadian citizen. All I am saying is Avril has a significant advantage over Pink because of her background.
Pink originates from the city of Brotherly Love. Philadelphia proudly calls her daughter. The great musician represents her hometown well.

If blondes have more fun, that explains why Avril is always jumping. Like Pink she controls crowds by pandering to their desires. But I want to rock out with Avril because she’s more energetic.

Plus, Avril Lavigne is sexier. In the entertainment industry, sex appeal counts. Pink is sexy too, but in a different way.
Now I like Pink’s style because she grinds harder than most entertainers. Her music videos are better. However, I appreciate Avril’s consistency. You never know what to expect from Pink.
Pink is worth watching though, because she executes daring stunts. Do you remember when she sang while being suspended in the air at the Grammys? I believe Pink can fly!
On a serious tip, Pink makes socially relevant music. She champions causes such as animal rights. Did you notice she’s wearing a PETA shirt in the photo? Avril Lavigne is also a PETA supporter.

Beyoncé concerts DailyMotion Fergie futuristic Hip Hop Iggy Azalea Justin Timberlake Lady Gaga NSYNC pop music rap Technology The Black Eyed Peas the future timeless tours videos will.i.am YouTube

The Futuristic Music of Justin Timberlake, Lady Gaga and the Black Eyed Peas

BY: GURU JAY

The best pop music sounds futuristic. Justin Timberlake named his tour the FutureSex/LoveShow. Furthermore, who’s more on the cutting edge than Lady Gaga? The Black Eyed Peas actually live in present day 3008.

Even as the NSYNC leader, Justin showed early signs of prospering on his own. Once Timberlake committed to the idea of greatness, he became great. He let his passion flourish. Will you?

If Beyoncé is a dream girl, then Justin Timberlake is every girl’s dream. His Until the End of Time duet with Beyoncé still attracts daily views on YouTube as well as DailyMotion (pun intended). How can you get more futuristic than the apocalypse?

Of course Timberlake received high marks on his progress reports, because he’s progressive. Check out Ayo Technology by 50 Cent featuring Justin. Timberlake makes my top 10 pop star list because he works smart. I currently have him at #5, but with an array of smashing hits, he can easily move up to #1.


The face of music treats entertainment as a business. That’s why the passionate musician owns a portion of MySpace. By making intelligent decisions, instead of working hard, you’ll hardly have to work.


Lately, Lady Gaga has underperformed slightly. That is actually a good thing because she had time to reflect and introspect. That’s why I’m waiting patiently for the release of her next album.

One of these days, Gaga will perform on the moon. Remember where you read it first. I guarantee she’ll still look sexy too.

Seriously, while most musicians imitate, Lady Gaga innovates. Many pop stars sample oldies, but Gaga invents newbies. See ArtPop for proof that’s she’s unabashed and willing to try something new, exciting, and different.

There are several similarities between Fergie and Iggy Azalea. The Black Eyed Peas singer/rapper revolutionized music with bandleader will.i.am, apl.de.ap, and Taboo. ImmaBe influenced LMFAO’s popular Party Rock Anthem. Furthermore, Fergie still influences Iggy Azalea’s career.

This is the same band that brought you the E.N.D (The Energy Never Dies) album, which included hits such as: Boom Boom Pow, I Gotta Feeling, and Rock That Body. Additionally, their music transcends time. Who remembers Craig Robinson’s Let’s Get It Started from the Hot Tub Time Machine?  

“ And the bass keeps runnin’ runnin’, and runnin’, runnin…”

The band is in it for the long haul. Because they come from different walks of life, the group’s music truly brings people together. The Black Eyed Peas dutifully embrace technology and the future. In the words of will.i.am, “you can’t say futuristic and then be afraid of the future.”

Justin Timberlake, Lady Gaga, and the Black Eyed Peas can officially retire because they have produced enough content already to last two lifetimes. What is more, they have collected a treasure chest of timeless songs. I identify with all these musicians because I write timeless blogs.

Actors beef Celebrities Celebrity Compton Detroit Eminem Entertainment feud Guru Jay Iggy Azalea Mark Wahlberg money Music rap Snoop Dogg T.I. videos Will Smith

Eminem Vs. Iggy Azalea

BY: GURU JAY

Eminem Vs. Iggy Azalea 

I love my generation. So when Eminem attacks Iggy Azalea, he’s talking about my generation. Do you believe Eminem and Iggy carefully orchestrated their beef? Why would Eminem risk ruining a good relationship?
I expect Eminem to catch a ball in Left Field. He’s an official Detroit Tiger. Eminem made his career by causing controversy.
This is his calling card. He went after Britney, Mariah and the Spice girls. Iggy Azalea was next. Eminem’s predictable because the rapper always goes after mainstream ‘pop’ stars.
The urban legend is Iggy Azalea has a ghostwriter. She doesn’t write her own lyrics like Eminem and most other rappers. And Nicki Minaj exposed her at the BET Awards.

Is Iggy Azalea authentic? 
Maybe, Snoop Dogg is her ghostwriter. He’s known to spell out his name S.N.OO.P. D.O.GG. Iggy spells her name out I.GG.Y.
The Snoop Dogg feud shouldn’t have escalated. As the Nicki Minaj news faded, Snoop stole the spotlight. It’s almost like the rappers think Iggy is a problem.
I’m sorry… Does Iggy Azalea hurt their record sales? Why not work with her, instead of against her? Maybe, I’m missing something.
If you can’t make good music, at least make some sense. It’s senseless to criticize a fellow celebrity. Let the fans listen to their music.
The entertainment industry is a hard enough nut to crack. I say let the nut crackers crack. Let the singers sing. And let the rappers rap. Musicians should stick to making music.
So who’s pulling the strings? Who’s behind the scenes calling the shots? Is it the rappers or the record labels? You know the deal.
I get that the music business is highly competitive. Nowadays musicians are more business minded than ever. Maybe, the Iggy Azalea beefs are all hype. I hope it is.
Still, if you’re a celebrity, you need to grow thick skin. Never allow a little joke to upset you. Iggy Azalea should have sought advice.
Addressing the gangster rapper was a big mistake. Snoop received his education at the school of hard knocks alongside Jay Z & Annie. He’s not Drake, Kendrick Lamar, or J. Cole.
Iggy came back firing on all cylinders. So Snoop declared an all out war. And T.I. had to make peace. If you ask me, this isn’t finished.
They both went too far. Neither one should have acknowledged the other’s insults. Recap: first Nicki, then Snoopy, and now Eminem
Eminem
Listen to the rap song Detroit Vs. Everybody. Then, you’ll understand Eminem’s mentality. In his mind, nothing is off limits.
Even if you don’t admire his authenticity, you can’t say he isn’t consistent. When Eminem includes you in his rap, then you are relevant. Does his one-liners do any real damage? It’s a matter of perspective. Still, Eminem should proceed with caution. You have the right to speak your mind and remain silent.
You see Eminem worked his way up the underground. 8 Mile, loosely based on his life, is a great movie. If you make a movie based on a true story, people will want to see proof. Fortunately, Eminem’s story checked out. In fact, Lose Yourself won an Oscar.
The rap community does not support Iggy because she has no street credibility. Eminem originated out of Detroit. The only place that can rival the dangerous ‘D’ is Compton. 
So, it’s best for Iggy to ‘shake it off.’ Make a song with Taylor Swift. Get your money and they might respect you. Don’t try to take on the World Star Hip Hop. You’ll lose.
A real winner loses sometime. Iggy Azalea is a winner as long as she sticks to making music. I question why she even needs a publicist.
It takes time to master any game. A player must practice every chance he gets. Before Eminem was famous, he honed his skills.
Eminem gets better with time. That’s why the rap community respects him. He’s not afraid.
Eminem received his education from the old school. He’s not new school like James Franco. The celebrity does his homework. He practices.
People like Eminem because he doesn’t seek their approval. That’s the secret to his success. Iggy can learn a lot from Eminem if she listens.
Iggy Azalea
If Iggy ignores her haters, she’ll break records. But if her ego gets too big, the rapper will burst like a bubble. She has to stay grounded.
I’ve never seen somebody burn bridges they haven’t even crossed yet. Hollywood Boulevard is a two way street. You can’t choose sides.
See How to Be Famous in 7 Steps. Iggy needs to read step #4- Engage your fan base. Instead of engaging fans, her attention is focused on her harshest critics.
Iggy’s still young. So she’ll learn from her mistakes. It’s better to outsmart your opponent than to overpower him.
When taking the high road, hire a limousine driver. You can’t chance it. In the long haul, you need security and a dedicated team.
It seems T.I. is the only person that defends Iggy. That’s why it’s open season on Azalea. She should just build her brand.
Maybe, T.I. is to Iggy, what Dr. Dre is to Eminem and maybe not. You see Eminem signed 50 cent to Shady Aftermath records. Eminem cofounded a rap group in 1996 called D-12. 

Eminem made Iggy Azalea possible.
I’ve never heard Brad Pitt talk bad about Johnny Depp. The Movie industry operates differently. What if Iggy started acting?
Will Smith and Mark Wahlberg had respectable rap careers before striking gold on the silver screen. Do you think Iggy compares more with Mark or Eminem?
There are two paths Iggy can choose. She can select the Eminem route or the Mark Wahlberg route. It’s easier to be Wahlberg than Eminem.
To sum it up, T.I. can’t fight all of Iggy’s battles for her. People will start to get the wrong idea. Does T.I. control Azalea’s career?
I’m following this situation because something’s wrong. Fans love Iggy. Rappers love fans. So, why do rappers hate Iggy Azalea?

It defies logic. I am going to get to the bottom of this. Look forward to another one. I am Guru Jay launching off into orbit in 5-4-3-2-1!

Baby Celebrity Dark Horse Eminem GANGNAM STYLE Gentleman Guru Jay Jennifer Lopez Justin Bieber Katy Perry Miley Cyrus Music On The Floor Pitbull Rihanna Roar Shakira videos Wrecking Ball YouTube

Top 10 YouTube Music Videos

BY: GURU JAY


#10 Dark Horse


Do you like Dark Horse? What’s not to like about it? It gives you the best of both worlds.

Katy Perry plays Cleopatra in an Egyptian inspired theme. She rules with an iron fist. So, you better obey what she says.

Overall, I give Dark Horse an A-. I’ve never seen a more colorful video. My only issue is that it gets goofy because it targets teens.

If Katy Perry plays Tetris, then her creativity is on the tenth level. Her Dark Horse video shows why she has one of the best musical minds in show business. Hats off to the celebrity!

#9 Roar


At number 9 is Katy Perry again. There’s a reason why you’re going to hear Katy roar. Her music reaches people from Africa to America.

In this video, Katy Perry pounces around in the jungle. She’s trying to get Tarzan’s attention. She makes Tarzan look stupid.

I give Roar an A+. There’s nothing wrong with the music video. Katy is at her absolute best.

Success has a formula. Fortunately, Katy Perry has figured out the components. That’s why Katy rarely makes a bad video.

If George is the King, Katy Perry is the Queen of the Jungle. Roar still generates cash on YouTube. So Katy can sit back on her throne and collect royalty checks.

#8 Wrecking Ball


Miley Cyrus bares her soul in Wrecking Ball. People pay attention to a crying blonde. It doesn’t matter how short her hair is.

You see at some point a celebrity must open up to media and fans. Miley picked the perfect time. In Wrecking Ball, she gives you a glimpse into her personal life. That takes guts over fear.

The video gets a solid A. At the time of its release, this video set a trend. Now, thanks to Miley all celebs are getting naked. What’s going on in Hollywood?


#7 GENTLEMAN M/V





I don’t understand 95 percent of the words in this video. But, I understand why it’s popular. I’m not as lost in translation as you’d think.


The video presents the lifestyle of a gentleman. PSY attempts to catch a lady’s eye. He goes to the extreme trying to impress her.


He stares into her face for a long time with a seductive look. Whatever he is selling she is buying. You don’t need to know Korean to understand this.


PSY has transformed music. He alone introduced K-Pop to the world wide web. Even though his songs are in Korean, his videos are universal. 


#6 Love The Way You Lie



In Love The Way You Lie, Eminem burns the house down with his accomplice Rihanna. The roof is literally on fire in the music video. The fire represents life’s pains and struggles.

If you want a hit record then sign a deal with Eminem or Rihanna. They are at the top because they came from the bottom. They had to grind the hard way to get to their current status.

Dr. Dre spotted Eminem. And Jay Z discovered Rihanna. Do you see the connection? Dr. Dre and Jay Z are nearly billionaires now.

#5 Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)


At the time of this post, Waka Waka has 770 million views. It is the 5th most popular video because the world loves soccer. Even in America, everyone watches the World Cup every 4 years.

The FIFA World Cup strategically selected Shakira to sing their anthem. She was a perfect choice. Who else can sing in multiple languages perfectly?

If you want to learn Spanish, why not watch shakiraVEVO? Shakira can’t make a bad video. I give Waka Waka an easy A.

The singer means so much to music as well as Latin America. In a sense, her voice pitches in a league of its own. Do you like Shakira?

#4 Party Rock Anthem


LMFAO made a big splash with Party Rock Anthem. The sensational video inspired two of my blog posts. Check out How to Party Like a Rock Star and Funny Show Business.

Without Party Rock Anthem Redfoo and Sky Blu would be an above average band at best. That’s why the choreography deserves special recognition. It’s so hard to separate yourself from the fray in music.


I give the song a B. But the music video receives an A. Like LMFAO it’s a success story.

#3 On The Floor


On The Floor doesn’t almost have 800 million views by accident. The music video’s success comes from perfect chemistry between two celebs. Jennifer Lopez and Pitbull have a great working relationship.

Should they get married to each other? If they date, it will be the most talked about hookup. What are the chances of this happening? If you ask me, Jenny from the block is already in Pitbull’s corner.

While the song gets an A-, I give the On The Floor video a B+. I wanted to see more. JLO should have used backup dancers. Still, it’s fun and worth seeing.

#2 Baby


If Christopher Columbus discovered America, then Usher Raymond III founded Canada. Well, Usher did find Justin Bieber on YouTube. To date, Bieber is the most famous Canadian. My apologizes to Drake…

It all started with Baby. The music video has amassed over 1.1 billion views in less than 5 years. You can’t ignore Justin Bieber’s popularity.

Justin calls his fans ‘Beliebers.’ If you had a dollar for every one of his followers, you’d be a billionaire. His numbers are virtually endless. Just keep counting. I’ll stand by. Can you picture living like a celebrity?

See How to Be Justin Bieber. You’ll find it’s a hard job but somebody has to do it. Not everybody is cut out. It takes skin like a crocodile and a smile like a Bush.

#1 Gangnam Style


Once again, I don’t understand 95 percent of the words, but I get the message. I give the song and the music video an A+. Gangnam Style is what I call Funny Show Business.

You see, crazy antics make mad money. You can make a lot of cash just by making people laugh. That’s exactly what PSY has done.

With 2.14 billion views, Gangnam Style has made PSY a global celebrity. He’s lightyears ahead of his competition. He’s unstoppable. 

We won’t stop like Miley Cyrus. I am Guru Jay launching off into orbit in 5-4-3-2-1!

7 Lucky Ways Celebrities Make Money

BY: GURU JAY


Familiar faces flash on the screen. Your TV, laptop, tablet and smartphone have loads of images, videos, and data on them. You probably follow your favorite celebrities on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, MySpace and Instagram.


Once you’re famous, you’re always famous for somebody. Forget what Shia Labeouf said. There’s no escaping the spotlight after crossing centerstage.

Social media and reality TV have allowed us an inside look into Pop Culture. Celebrities are born on YouTube. You couldn’t pick a more perfect time than now to be famous.

Entertainers are living the good life. Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus and Lindsay Lohan are Livin’ La Vida Loca. Click here to find out how to party like a rock star

The job of a celebrity is to simply celebrate. Celebrities make a fortune just by making an appearance. Paris Hilton is a prime example of a socialite who exploits her infamy.


There are several creative ways celebrities earn a living. I want to show you the microeconomics behind Hollywood. I am an accountant after all.

There is power in numbers. That’s why stars such as Shia Labeouf work hard to get attention. That’s also why fans are so important.

More fans = more money. Social media sites like Twitter give celebrities a platform to engage with followers. I recommend this story from Wet Paint. How Much Do Celebrities Get Paid To Tweet

1.Twitter

Sending Tweets is one creative way celebrities make money. At an early age, I realized the power of words. This is why I blog. Twitter is simply a short form of writing. They call it “micro-blogging.”

Can you believe they founded the site 8 years ago? Today Twitter is worth multi-billions. It’s hard to believe, that in such a short span of time, the social media site could conquer the public.

I just recently joined Twitter; and, I already recognize its potential. Twitter allows you to build meaningful relationships. Visit Adage for more information. 

2. Photos



Why do you think Kim Kardashian keeps uploading pics of her derrière on Instagram? Answer: because her booty has a pricetag. Celebrities make mad money from photos. You can hear them laughing as they go to the bank.

Photos are a major part of social media. Facebook needs a plethora of images in order to exist. Don’t we love reading faces? Isn’t Facebook a book of faces?

When a celebrity is strapped for cash, all he has to do is snap a photo. Then, send it to TMZ. Now, wait for the check to arrive in the mail.

3. Videos



What would you do to extend your 15 minutes of fame? Would you act a fool on camera? In the near future, I can see sites like Vine gaining some steam.

It wouldn’t surprise if Google via YouTube buys the emerging video social media site. Videos have an enormous impact on society. Think about how TMZ shells out massive cash for exclusive footage

Musicians make money in a number of ways. Royalties from videos is a new way artists get paid. Read here for info about VEVO

4. Endorsements

When I think of lucrative endorsement deals, athletes come to mind. Basketball is on everybody’s brain. Players are in the limelight while the NBA Playoffs winds down.

Kevin Durant was launched to space in a Sprint commercial. The helpful Blake Griffin endorses Kia. Who can forget Chris Paul’s State Farm twins’ saga? And, you’ll see a LeBron James Samsung ad on occasion.

You’re in luck, if you are a musician too. Pepsi pounces on the opportunity to sign superstars. Watch a classic example here. 





5. Parties


Photo By: Toglenn

Hollywood stars own the night. Can you picture receiving a paycheck for partying? In the words of the Jackson 5, it’s easy as A.B.C.!

Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, Fergie and Blake Lively have made money by making appearances at parties. The amount of money they make seems absurd. But, big businesses can afford to spend big money. 

Kim Kardashian made 500,000 dollars as an escort overseas. This has become the new normal. In the Reality TV world we live in, we expect extravagant expenses.

6. Reality TV


Reality TV has a major influence on us in real ways. You can literally become a celebrity overnight. All you have to do is, start some sort of an altercation with somebody.

Why do we care so much about Snooki? How much money does Duck Dynasty generate? Who is Khloe’s new boyfriend

We wouldn’t ask those questions ten years ago. We were keeping up with the Joneses. Now, we keep up with the Kardashians.

7.Instagram


First on my list is Twitter. Number 7 on my list is Instagram for similar reasons. The app is a relatively new phenomenon that has taken the world by storm.

I joined Instagram about one month ago. I’m thankful for each one of my followers. Please follow my account here

Although the site hasn’t been around for even 5 years, it is extremely influential. It’s another hot way to interact with your fans. Check out Beyonce’s account

They say technology eliminates jobs. Celebrities defy logic and use technology to their advantage. Twitter is music to their ears.

You only have one life to live, so live your life to the fullest. We can learn a lot from celebrities. Most of them don’t have a care in the world.

Increase your odds by lining your ducks in a row. Seneca said, “luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.” So brace yourself for a wild ride. Please wear your helmets.

Action movies Angelina Jolie best actor Bruce Willis Celebrity Cinema Google heroes Highest paid Larry Page money photos Top Ten Actors videos Will Smith worst actor zeroes

Action Heroes And Zeroes: 1’s + 0’s

By: Guru Jay
  
Action Heroes

The best Action Heroes command a load of zeroes on their paychecks. Action is a big box office draw. Many Action Movies are rated PG-13. So, action movies often are nice family friendly films.

You will find many Action Heroes in our list of Top 10 Actors.  Action films require a high budget. It’s rare to see a low budget Action movie.

You know it takes money to make money. Think of Action flicks as an investment. Let’s say you bought Google stock.

Now, imagine buying stock in Bruce Willis like you would Google. You want to look at Bruce Willis as an investment. This is how the entertainment industry works.

I love action. You are hardly ever disappointed. Action Heroes have special stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. There is a strong bond between Action Heroes and Zeroes.

I vividly recall watching the original Robocop on several Saturdays. In the 90s, Robocop received massive syndication. Unfortunately, for the movie purist, TIVO was not invented yet.

You were forced to watch the commercials that came attached with the featured presentation. We did not mind the advertisements, because every now and again we needed popcorn and a can of Coke.

Technology still remains a major component of Action Movies. It’s a simple fact that Action makes movie executives billions of dollars. Bruce Willis is the ultimate Action Hero.

Look at the Die Hard franchise. As you will see, Willis has dominated decade after decade in the Action genre. Not very many other Action actors have lasted as long.

Bruce Willis is underrated. Although he earns a wad of zeroes, he is underpaid. As you may already know, Willis commanded a percentage of the Six Sense. He clearly made a calculated move.

Timing is everything in entertainment. Bruce Willis is a timeless actor. If you placed him in films from the fifties and sixties, he ‘d still be popular.

100 years from now, Bruce Willis films will still be popular. Mark my words. I can’t even express how much money Bruce Willis is worth. If you look anything like Willis, you’re welcome in Hollywood.


Here is Bruce in the first Die Hard .

Another Action movie legend is Sylvester Stallone. I admire his Rambo movies. A lot like Bruce, Sly has owned the box office results. It’s safe to say Mr. Stallone is a senior citizen, but he does not act his age.

He still is pushing steel and pumping iron. And, he keeps on producing high quality productions such as the Expendables. I enjoy the Expendables because it is nostalgic.

Those Expendable actors put in a ton of work at the gym and on the silver screen. That’s why Stallone makes seven to eight zeroes per movie. He is the darn movie executive.

Watch the Rambo II trailer from the 80’s.  


What about Rocky? Everybody loves Rocky. How many box office knockouts has Rocky had?


Next, is Jean-Claude Van Damme? He is an international Action icon. What’s more, he practices what he preaches. Van Damme is a martial artist master.

He’s a man you don’t want to argue with. He can paralyze his foe in one quick hand movement.  Like Stallone, Van Damme does not act his age.

His global appeal is brilliantly marketed in this Volvo commercial. 



It’s easy to tell he is true to his craft. I like his authentic nature.


If I excluded Arnold Schwarzenegger I wouldn’t be able to call myself a journalist. I truly think he is half man and half machine. Prove me wrong.


P.S. He’ll be back!

He has matured into arguably the greatest action hero of all time. Schwarzenegger started his career as a bodybuilder and took off from there. His Terminator franchise is legendary.

If you plan to write a piece on movie history, it’s only right you mention Arnold Schwarzenegger in the discussion.

The Action filmography of Will Smith speaks for itself. He has earned a spot at the top because of his value. He brings value to each movie he is associated with.

Smith’s box office results are not comparable. That’s why he also garners seven to eight zeroes. The only knock on Smith is he should star in more films.

Take a few more risks like After Earth. No risk, no reward. You can’t make a hit all the time.

Here comes the Men in Black! Don’t they defend the galaxy or something?


The Men in Black franchise is a major part of action/science fiction cinema. All
Three films are spectacular. Independence Day was an instant classic. Watch a clip of Will Smith at his best.

Angelina Jolie is an Action Superwoman.  She is a hero for all women. She commands several zeroes because of her brand. She sells her characters better than Procter & Gamble. 

Watch the official Salt trailer.



As you can see, Jolie is versatile. She proves to the entertainment world that women can star in more than romance and comedy. She is legitimate.

Her box office results in movies like Wanted speak volumes. 

Here’s a scene from Wanted



Jolie has some of the best sex appeal ever filmed. But, she is more than a sex symbol. Angelina is an amazingly talented actress. She is in the heavyweight division just like Sylvester Stallone.


Remember, when I said you are hardly ever disappointed with Action. Well, sometimes you get robbed. Sometimes, you respectfully ask for your money back.

After all, money doesn’t grow on pine trees. Money grows on trees in Larry Page’s backyard.

Action Zeroes

Action movies staring Rob Schneider should never be made. He is an above average comedian. He is not an Action star.

First of all, looking the part is a prerequisite. Secondly, acting the part is just as critical. Jay Leno is first on the list of Action Zeroes.

I showed you a strong connection of Action heroes and zeroes. Now, let’s go to the other extreme. These Action actors don’t command a lot of zeroes. In fact, they are Action Zeroes.

The following five actors are the five worst Action Stars judged by Xfinity.

5. Rob Schneider

4. Shaq

3. John Stamos

2. Vanilla Ice

1. Jay Leno

And 0

This is Guru Jay signing off…Have a great weekend everybody!
