Beautiful Elizabeth Olsen is one of Hollywood’s finest actresses

Why are you here reading this blog? Perhaps, you like celebrities, entertainment, and information all intertwined. Maybe, you can’t get enough of celebrity blogs and entertainment. I try to entertain you as well as inform you. Regardless, I appreciate you coming here. Thanks for reading and if you’re compelled to, please share my content. You can follow my Twitter handle @IamGuruJay too. 

Eureka! I found out why you’re here… for WandaVision, Dr. Strange, and the Avengers. Her most recent box office movie, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, broke all kinds of records. 

Super-fan of Superhero

So, I get it…you’re an Elizabeth Olsen super-fan and you want to find out what’s going on with the star who plays one of your favorite superheroes.

You’re so amazed by her performances as Scarlet Witch in WandaVision and Dr. Strange. Like Olsen herself, WandaVision is such a huge success. This is one of Disney +’s best productions. In nine episodes to date, the actress plays an incredible Wanda Maximoff on television. Fans like you can’t wait for more seasons. They’re asking Disney a fair question; what’s taking so long? Just be patient, Disney says. 

Also, did you know that the actress’s superhero character is connected to Jonathan Majors’ Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania? It appears they are both Nexus Beings in the MCU. This gives fans some substance to digest. Expect the Marvel terminology “Nexus Being” to trend sometime in the future. There are so many places to go with this.

Like Elle Fanning (Dakota Fanning), Elizabeth Olsen has a famous sister or two. Famous twins Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen were on Full House in the 1990s. Who remembers the young actresses and their taglines? The younger sister, who’s not a twin, built a name for herself as well. And today, it’s her birthday. Let’s go on social media and wish her a happy birthday. I’m sure she’ll appreciate the kind thoughts and gestures.  

Also, today the trailer for Love & Death, an HBO Max Original was released.

This looks like something that will have people talking. Once again, HBO has generated controversy and we know that is what sells. From what I’ve researched, there are three episodes premiering on April 27. Then, the network will air three or four more episodes of the limited series one at a time weekly. 

Also, like Elle Fanning, Olsen has no problem being called great. She is great. Her greatness shows up on screen as one of Hollywood’s finest actresses. Why aren’t you streaming this actress yet if you haven’t already?

Finally, the beautiful actress is like another actress associated with Hulu (who I can’t get enough of) Hilary Duff. It seems like Hollywood’s full of so many talented acts. Does Disney have possession of all of them?

Outside of Marvel, the star has filmed a variety of productions. Have you seen her performance with Aubrey Plaza in Ingrid Goes West? 

I’ve wanted to write this article for a long time. I believe the beautiful Elizabeth Olsen is one of Hollywood’s finest actresses. If you follow my blog, you know I’m a superhero fan and I enjoy watching actresses like Jennifer Lawrence and Elizabeth Olsen perform on screen. One day I could see myself on set as a screenwriter or consulting producer. That’s my dream. So, I’ll speak it into existence.

 “California’s calling my name.” Have you heard that song before? To be frank, Elizabeth Olsen’s a big name in Hollywood like Bella Thorne. She’s a celebrity who provides you premium entertainment. Whether on HBO Max, Disney +, Netflix or any other streaming platform, this celebrity is someone I’m watching for years to come.

Marvel’s Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania Countdown

Marvel’s Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania Countdown

Expect Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania to be the highest grossing movie in February. Coming only in theaters Friday February 17, the Marvel Studios film release is something to mark down on your calendars. Let’s begin the countdown.

3 days away, the moment has almost arrived. Starring Paul Rudd as Ant-Man and Evangeline Lilly as the Wasp, the Marvel movie may have a good March and April too. 

Do you like Marvel movies? They’re known for mega budgets and special effects.  Also, the actors are the best in the business. Getting movie stars like Samuel L. Jackson to sign on requires a proven track record. Plus, getting Hollywood legends Bill Murray and Michelle Pfeiffer on board wasn’t easy. 

Last But Not Least

Last but not least, Jonathan Majors, who plays Kang the Conqueror, comes into this movie as a highly anticipated antihero. Everybody is talking about how excellent of a job he’s done. Well, almost everybody. You can’t please them all.

Still, I feel in my gut this movie will perform wonders at the box office. It appears to have all the action and craftsmanship you could want. Paul Rudd is sure to do a backflip I bet. It’s not just about the money. It’s about the details and getting everything right.

The script must have all the right words because the film has all the right people. Have you seen the trailers and promotional materials? I can’t wait to see it come all together.

This is the third movie in the franchise. So, technically we could refer to it as Ant-Man 3. Fans everywhere should know a fourth film is in the works.

Is Paul Rudd the Right Man?

Superhero movies seem to be a major part of global popular culture. Spider-Man, Batman, Superman, Ant-Man could all play in a movie together. What’s stopping Marvel and DC Comics from collaborating? Anything is possible, right?

In addition, Paul Rudd does a fine job portraying Ant-Man in the movies. It’s awesome seeing him shrink into character. Also, the concept of a miniature (ant) hero saving the day is fascinating. Without a doubt, he made a name for himself as the man, and needs no introduction. Do you agree?

I’m thrilled to see Michelle Pfeiffer in the film. She’s a wonderful actress who paved the way in motion pictures like Dangerous Minds. I think this actress might come close to reaching Pfeiffer’s star power in the future. Also, we have to acknowledge the director Peyton Reed.

How Do You Like Casting Kathryn Newton?

In Ant-Man 3, Kathryn Newton plays Paul Rudd’s daughter. And by the looks of it, the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree because she becomes Stinger, another superhero. It takes multiple heroes to take down a single villain. That’s the way the comic book world works.

I follow Marvel on Twitter because I like their productions. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania had a world premiere, and the photos were amazing. Are you on Twitter? Follow @IamGuruJay if you like my content and want interesting tweets.

So, I can’t tell you the ins and outs about the MCU, because I’m not a comic book aficionado or buff. However, I am a movie buff. I love films so much I could make them. Big productions like Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania feed me because I know the work involved in making it happen. 


Lastly, I’ve seen the trailer, posters, and commercials. This project seems to be a work of art. The world will know soon if it’s any good, as they release the movie to the masses. In the meantime, you can watch Ant-Man and Marvel Comics Universe movies on Disney Plus and other streaming platforms. There are so many options today to consume your pleasure. Thanks for reading and visiting.

Selena Gomez Is in the Building So Calm Down Now.

Selena Gomez Is in the Building So Calm Down Now.

Selena Gomez is in the building so calm down now. Stop worrying about the small stuff and take time for yourself to read a good blog. Maybe, even check out a very good one by some standards. I blog about the best of the best in entertainment. If you like celebrities, you came to the perfect place.

Let’s get the cat out of the bag. I am attracted to Selena Gomez. She’s my cup of tea. Now that I got that out the way, I’ll try to compose myself and write an entertaining and informative post.

Contrary to popular opinion, I know celebrities are people too. So, I won’t say she can do no wrong and fly spaceships. Like me, everybody makes mistakes sometimes. But there’s so much to admire about Selena Gomez. I’m older than the celebrity but I grew up understanding her rise to fame from the Disney days. Mostly, I appreciate her music and personality. 

I’ve listened to the My Mind & Me record, but I haven’t watched the Apple TV+ documentary. Her openness is a strength, not a weakness. The celebrity shows the soft and rough sides of her life and that deserves some respect. 

Also, I’m now more familiar with her TV work. No, not Barney & Friends. Although I did watch it as a child, I’m referring to none other than Only Murders in the Building. I will discuss this TV show in this space. In one word: brilliant. That’s the way I describe Only Murders in the Building.

Original Content

If you’re into mysteries, this show will get you going. I not only strive to create original content, but I also seek out original content. This Hulu original like another isn’t going anywhere anytime soon except straight to the top of streaming. 

Right now, the filming of season 3 is in progress and some big names have been added. Jesse Williams from Grey’s Anatomy and Meryl Streep will make appearances. How do I know? Well, I follow Selena Gomez on Twitter. Best decision in a while. 

Hulu has twenty episodes of the show available for streaming. There are two seasons so far at ten episodes apiece. There is Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez not only starring in the TV program but executive producing. There’s so much talent on the show, the rumor is they got audited last year. Okay, I made that up. But you get my drift. 

So exactly, what is OMITB all about? Three people bond over the same mystery podcast. Ultimately, it’s about a podcast stemming from another podcast. A podcast spinoff. Ha ha! Together, they try to solve only murders in their building. It’s quite creative. 

Currently, I’m watching season 1 and will be watching season 2 soon. But first, I must calm down because I’m so excited. Her new song with Rema called Calm Down is a hit. Have you seen the music video? The video premiered on September 7, 2022.

Social Media

According to YouTube data, the video is now number nine globally. With an international reach, the singer/ actress/ producer is only getting the ball rolling down the lane. And she’s not staying in the lane. She’s running the streets and making money moves. 

Lately, Selena Gomez is trending on Twitter and the Internet. Whoever is writing some of these (gossip) stories need to stop. It all seems manufactured. Society must do better. My goal is to stay positive no matter how negative it gets.

Selena Gomez is the best of the best in entertainment. Although she is not perfect, she’s in the perfect place…no, not in New York…in the building.

Is Jonathan Majors a Top 10 Actor Now?

Is Jonathan Majors a Top 10 Actor Now?

Jonathan Majors doesn’t mind playing the villain. In fact, in his new Marvel Studios movie Ant Man and the Wasp: Quantumania he portrays a one of a kind antagonist. Do you remember Thanos? Kang the Conqueror played by Jonathan Majors is Thanos 2.0. Some of his superpowers include erasing timelines and rewriting history. If you’re a comic geek or buff you will love the Hollywood star in this flick. Have you seen any of the trailers or promotional materials?

Moreover, if you’re into movies and like the best actors, then Majors is your man. At 33 years-old, he’s built a remarkable filmography. What is more, the actor remains focused on his career. Are you a fan of this movie star? What is your favorite Jonathan Majors film so far? Notice, I say so far because his best may be yet to come. Another actor known for playing a villain is Samuel L. Jackson. His best work came after the age of 40. Part of Majors’s success is his keen ability to pick the best movies to play in. Working with the best talent and budget makes all the difference.

In addition, Majors plays a lead role in Creed III, directed by Michael B. Jordan. He’s not only seizing the days; he’s seizing the years. 2022-2023 is the movie star’s time to shine. They say he’s one of Hollywood’s most in demand talents. This is all by design. When you research him, you’ll discover he earned a BFA from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and an MFA from Yale University. 

I highly recommend Devotion, The Harder They Fall, and The Last Black Man in San Francisco. I’ve seen all three films and thoroughly enjoyed them all. Based on a true story, Devotion tells a touching story about the first Black Naval aviator officer Jesse Brown in the Korean War. The onscreen camaraderie between Jonathan Majors and Glenn Powell is inspiring. Moreover, both The Harder They Fall and The Last Black Man in San Francisco make a statement in different ways. The Harder They Fall blazed a trail and The Last Black Man in San Francisco laid a foundation.

Revisit This Post in Three Years

So, do I believe Jonathan Majors is a top 10 actor now? This is an intriguing question because there are many areas where this actor excels. Jonathan Majors can carry a film. He delivers high quality. I can’t overstate his star power enough. His box office results show all we need to know. Plus, the studios, directors, and actors all love working with him. But he’s only 33 years old. Leonardo DiCaprio’s 48 by comparison. Morgan Freeman’s a young 85. Age is just a number. But Majors is a new movie star who deserves recognition.

Although it might be a stretch to call him a top 10 actor now, revisit this post in three years and see if he’s on top then. Can we agree, at least, he’s one of the best actors? I think Ant Man and the Wasp: Quantumania shows why he is a huge movie star. And I think his fans will love him in Creed III. Everybody is waiting for that hypothetical fight to happen on March 3, 2023.

In the entertainment world, it’s in a celebrity’s nature to make mistakes. Here’s Majors and he is not making a lot of mistakes. He played his cards right. And from what I can tell it’s a good hand. That’s why the star is shining bright. If he’s not a Top 10 actor yet, he will be. Wait and see.

NBC SNL Episode 2 Breakdown: Was This One Great?

NBC SNL Episode 2 Breakdown: Was This One Great? 

Let’s begin the breakdown recognizing SNL Host Michael B. Jordan and musical guest Lil Baby. Last weekend Aubrey Plaza did a fantastic job hosting the TV show. This weekend was Jordan’s turn. Would he bring as much energy or even more? Everybody had an expectation for him. What was yours?

I felt Michael B. Jordan was going to slam dunk this one. Like the superstar he is, Jordan’s crossover to live television was a no brainer. Before writing this blog post, I learned more about the actor and published another blog post you might enjoy. Who knew the extent of his television presence? The Creed III Director/ Lead Actor possesses a multitude of talents.

It was a solid opening for episode 2. SNL covered the latest in politics as usual and got the ball rolling.  Not too long after Michael B. Jordan came onto the stage, Chloe Fineman, Heidi Gardner, and Ego Nwodim came on or should I say came on to him. So far, the TV show was hilarious. Saturday Night Live knows how to play up every tool in their toolkit. By far the funniest thing was Ego showing up on stage in a wedding dress. This one was great. The material was well-written from start to finish. Like Creed, the night was packed with punches. 

Was Lil Baby Pretty Good?

When Lil Baby took the stage to perform the hit California Breeze, it was a wrap. Saturday Night Live had me sold on the night. Michael B. Jordan owned it. Every sketch delivered a ton of value. Just like I tweeted before the show even started, this was TV gold. There were so many elements that combined to make this work seem effortless.

What Was the Skit That Stole the Night?

If there’s one prerecorded skit that stole the night, it was Michael B. Jordan playing the State Farm guy. I tweeted that the insurance companies owe SNL money. All that advertisement can’t be free. This had to generate the most responses on Twitter because everybody was talking about it. Overall, Jordan was all over the place demonstrating his range. He played a water guy and a fireman. Well, he played a stripper dressed as a firefighter with pregnant baby mama issues. 

Last But Not Least

What else should an SNL TV show watcher know about after episode 2? Kenan Thompson had his moment playing a doorman on Weekend Update. Colin Jost and Michael Che are a good team. Lil Baby’s second song was a little more dramatic. It told a story and could crossover genres. Whoever was his pianist was incredible. 

What are your thoughts? Did you watch SNL this weekend? Are you looking forward to next weekend’s host Pedro Pascal from HBO’s The Last of Us?

Nothing quite beats live television. Thanks for reading this blog post. Did you catch any of my live Tweets? Follow me on Twitter @IamGuruJay and Instagram @TheGuruJay for more content.

Michael B. Jordan Is One of the Best Actors

Pay attention to Michael B. Jordan!

If you’re an actor or a fan, you must see him shine. On my blog, I’ll see to it that his star shines bright as ever. What more does Jordan have to do for me to convince you he is one of the best of his generation? Here’s an actor whose filmography stands up to the best of them. Talk about Creed I, II, and now III. Plus, there’s Fruitvale Station and Journal for Jordan. His acting skills are on another level. He’s untouchable and unstoppable. Add Black Panther to the fold and we have an amazing entertainer. 

I really like his performance in Journal for Jordan.

Inspired by true events, the film that Denzel Washington directed highlights the best of emotions and raw feelings. The actor does an outstanding job playing a U.S. Army first sergeant. You would think he completed basic training at the very least. What separates Michael B. Jordan from other actors is preparation and dedication.In addition, he is believable as Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan. Without Remorse is a must-see movie. You’ll enjoy Jodie Turner-Smith in the supporting actress role as well. 

Are you a fan of the actor? How long have you followed his career?

Maybe he’s been on my radar for about a decade. I wasn’t too familiar with his work on the Wire. But now, I’m intrigued to look back on his earlier television roles and more. It’s always interesting to see how much a celebrity develops their craft. Jordan can play the superstar (Jack Ryan) or the sidekick (Killmonger). With a reach like his, he can impact the masses with a social media post or PSA.

Tonight, on Saturday January 28, 2023, Michael B. Jordan will host NBC Saturday Night Live (SNL). Are you looking forward to seeing him perform as much as I am?

I can’t wait to see the surprises in store for the audience. Also, I may Tweet like last weekend just for fun. Of course, there’s a chance I might give a pop quiz. Now is Michael B. Jordan’s time to shine. Saturday Night Live selected him for a reason. Doesn’t he have magnetic power? Stars attract attention…lots of it…some call it gossip.

This celebrity is in the entertainment news by personal choice. Do you think Jordan thinks about how much SNL will extend his reach? Or do you think a celebrity of his caliber only cares about awards and merits such as Golden Globes, Emmys, and Academy Awards. What drives him to work every day as hard as he does? Have you seen photos and videos of this man working out in the gym? That’s why I say he’s untouchable and unstoppable. He has a never quit mentality that transfers to the silver screen.

He and director Ryan Coogler have a strong bond. They should work on more films together. Also, I feel Michael B. Jordan has a great chemistry with Creed costar Tessa Thompson. I love seeing them share the big screen. Finally, I can’t wait to watch Creed III on March 3, 2023. Did you know Jordan directed this one on his own?

If you like movies, music, television, celebrities, and all things entertainment, you have discovered the right place. Follow me @IamGuruJay on Twitter and @TheGuruJay on Instagram for more content. Until next time, enjoy the moment. Thanks!

Elle Fanning Is One of Hollywood’s Hottest Under 25

Actress Elle Fanning at the Berlin Film Festival 2020 By: Harald Krichel https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/df/Elle_Fanning-1733_%28cropped%29.jpg

Elle Fanning Is One of Hollywood’s Hottest Under 25 and Beyond Fine

I love writing about actors, especially Hollywood’s hottest actresses. Elle Fanning is beyond fine. Have you ever seen a star shine as bright as Elle? She has an entire magazine named after her after all. Seriously, her name is huge in Twitter Circles and on Instagram. Right now, you can follow her on Instagram along with 6 million other accounts. Where do I start handing out the accolades? Everything you can imagine Fanning can do on the silver screen. She is the 24-karat gold Bruno Mars sings about…that white gold Michelle Pfeiffer/ Uptown Funk. 

Will we ever see another star quite like Elle Fanning again? At 24 years old, she’s already accomplished what 50-year-old actresses have in Hollywood. It’s incredible how this celebrity entertains a wide audience. Like Jennifer Lawrence, everyone can enjoy Fanning’s filmography. From film to TV and now video games, the actor is presenting her talents everywhere. Yes, check out Newsweek for more on the video game development (Death Stranding 2) featuring the Hollywood star. 

I’m looking forward to every work she’s in because I feel she’s fun and pleasant. Plus, she is equipped with a plethora of skills. With her range and my originality, we can take over the world. All I’m saying is that these past few years have been enjoyable and entertaining thanks in large part to Fanning. 

Does she have Tinseltown’s best smile or what? I’ve followed this celebrity for years, and she’s turned my frown upside down on more than one occasion. There is not a bad script she has yet to memorize. All Fanning needs now is her own superhero movie franchise like Scarlett Johansson, and we’ll start having a discussion on her excellence. This could transform my blog. 

Born in Conyers, Georgia, Elle Fanning is a star like no other. I think you might like her performance in Mary Shelley. There is something about this young lady. In the future, they’ll say she was a classic actress. Will she become the Sandra Bullock and Julia Roberts we know she can become? What a time to be alive! We can reflect on and imagine simultaneously whatever we want to. Currently, my attention is on the shining star who I believe is highly gifted and talented. Also, she is a gorgeous beauty who is Hollywood’s crème de la crème. It’s easy to see how she could be Hollywood’s Hottest 25 under 25 and 30 under 30.

Please tell me you’ve seen Hulu’s The Great and The Girl from Plainville. If you haven’t seen them, you don’t know what you’re missing out on. Sometimes I compare celebrities: highlighting differences and similarities. Today, I would compare her with Elizabeth Olsen. Both actors are at the top of their craft on film and television. And both have a big past, present, and future in the entertainment industry. Are you excited as I am about Elle Fanning’s works in progress? Isn’t she a breath of fresh air?
