Amanda Seales Is My Guru
I wanted to start this blog with an introduction as to how I found this woman who is making a name for herself in Hollywood and who has have a huge impact in my life. I have typed and erased and typed some more but nothing was sticking to what I have in mind as to approach this writing ode to a star. Bringing me back to a time where I had written a letter to two of my favorite actresses at the time, I find myself nervous. I don't want to sound like I'm obsessed. Will she even read this? Why, Why, WHY!! Telling myself that this is no big deal. I am one of millions of fans who are in awe of the work that this woman has done and with her new book, she's a shooting star that I look up to. Insecurities envelops me as I try to figure out how to express to an unlikely person that they mean the world to me and that I truly view her as the "Oshun" of my time.

Talking Star: 'The Star Report': Is T.I. in Love with Iggy Azalea?
The Star Wars saga crops up in relation to N.O.R.E. and Joe Budden in relation to their hatred. But the direct idea is about T.I. and Iggy Azalea. Star doesn’t like the fact that Clifford Harris tried to make her out to be a culture vulture. N.O.R.E. has stated that Jesus Is King is “trash.” The phone lines open up with caller Black. He agrees that the album is trash. Star says that “if anyone is qualified” to say that the album is trash, it’s N.O.R.E. Mr. Torain reminds Black that “streets have no love.” Boss Chick Ronnie chimes in saying that Iggy Azalea is a “big girl” and can handle herself. She senses that Clifford Harris isn’t bitter in any way. Star puts on the paper that Harris will run for public office.

One Old Hollywood star that has greatly impressed me is Greta Garbo, and she is known for her famous line “I want to be alone” when she left Hollywood for good. She was a beautiful Swedish actress with a sexy, husky voice. Her Hollywood debut came in the film The Torrent in 1926.

Princess Charlotte, age four, is excited about attending the same school as her older brother Prince George, six, who is in his second year there. Even though they are royals, they are not treated any more special than the other children at their school. They attend the $23,000-a-year Thomas’s Battersea, an exclusive private school in London. The school is located less than four miles from Kensington Palace, where Prince Charlotte and Prince George live with their one-year-old brother Prince Louis, and their parents.

The Many Talents of Bob Hope
Bob Hope was among my favorite actors and performers. He was never what you could call a handsome movie star, but he was very likable. I enjoyed watching him in the movies and on TV, and his smile was always infectious. On May 29, 2003 this wonderful personality celebrated his 100th birthday. There were about 35 US states which declared this to be Bob Hope Day.

Role Models?
I recently had a friend visit, and when he left, I noticed two Hollywood magazines he'd left behind. For fun, I started flipping through them. There were actually times I laughed out loud. The best part is that after 10 years of not watching television, I only knew about 10% of the celebrities. Celebrities and their lives for all to see are simply ongoing parables or often a paradox for our viewing pleasure.

Let's Talk About the Real Johnny Depp
It’s no secret that tabloids LOVE a good story. No, for real. They’re as subtle as a migraine when it comes to salivating over the juiciest new gossip in Hollywood. “But what happens when there is no new gossip to report on?” Ah! I’m glad you asked (let’s pretend you did for the sake of the article). Well, when there is nothing new to report, they make up their own stories! *hold for fake gasps.* It’s the truth, and they’ve been doing it for decades. So, all those magazines you see when you stop into your local grocer’s to pick up a carton of milk, telling you all about the latest divorce (that most likely won’t happen)—It's fake, and nearly every celebrity has had to endure it. One of those celebs is Johnny Depp.
