In the early 1980s she performed with the dance pop groups Breakfast Club and Emmy that garnered her attention on the New York City dance scene. In 1983 she released her debut self-title album.

While her debut album didn’t make much of an impression on the national music scene, her follow-up “Like a Virgin” album hit the big time in the mainstream, selling 12 million copies and landing at the No. 1 spot on the Billboard magazine charts. Very quickly Madonna became a style icon for young American girls with her signature bleached hair, lace tights, cross earrings, mini-skirts and oodles of bangle bracelets.


For her mega pop culture influence, Madonna appeared on the cover of Time magazine in 1985 with the headline “Why She’s Hot.” Also in 1985 Madonna appeared on the cover of People magazine three times. Some of the People magazine covers included “Best and Worst Dressed,” an appearance with her controversial friendship with Michael Jackson and various relationships like Sean Penn and Warren Beatty.

By 1986 Madonna released her third album “True Blue,” which was also a major success and changed her look, as noted in a Rolling Stone magazine article accompanied by a Rolling Stone magazine cover. Madonna would appear on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine a numerous times in the late 1980s through the present.

Also in the 1980s Madonna appeared on the covers of celebrity magazines like Star magazine, fashion magazines like Glamour magazine, Vogue magazine, Vanity Fair magazine, Harper’s Bazaar magazine, Cosmopolitan magazine and other entertainment magazines like Premiere magazine.

Become Famous – 3 Ways To Discover Fame

Millions of men, women and children dream of becoming famous. From a very young age, many people are driven to see their name in lights and their faces plastered on every billboard in every country. And while millions of people dream of it, only an elite group of individuals actually achieve it.

Those that are interested in finding work in the entertainment industry have a few options when it comes to discovering fame. There are three major categories which most celebrities end up falling under: acting, singing and modeling.
1. Acting. Most of the world’s most famous celebrities have – at one point or another – tried their hand at acting. Securing a major role in a film can make your acting career soar to all new heights (just ask Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling after their performances in The Notebook or the entire cast of Friends). Getting cast for a major role is the hard part, once you’ve starred in a successful movie or television show; you pretty much have it made.


2. Singing. If you want to become famous, but clearly can’t act, singing is probably your best option. These days, you don’t even need a phenomenal voice – especially if you have a marketable image. Take Britney Spears for example. She doesn’t have the best vocals in the business but she is the most successful singer of her generation. Shows like American Idol and America’s Got Talent can skyrocket a person to fame in less than a year (just ask Carrie Underwood and Leona Lewis).

3. Modeling. Some of the most successful celebrities in the entertainment industry have risen to fame by stretching their long legs on the catwalk. Tyra Banks, Ashton Kutcher and Heidi Klum are all great examples of how modeling can make you a celebrity. If you have a great figure and a marketable image but don’t really excel in acting or singing (yet), you can still be famous as a model. Shows like America’s Next Top Model and Make Me A Supermodel have helped many models get their break in the entertainment industry.

If you’re not necessarily looking to become famous but really want to work in the entertainment industry, there are countless jobs available. Considering becoming a film producer, screenwriter, set designer, makeup artist, hair stylist, entertainment lawyer or movie marketer.

Becoming famous is tough enough when you live in an entertainment-driven location like Los Angeles, but it’s incredibly difficult if you don’t. Moving to Los Angeles will increase your odds of success and will give you the chance you deserve to make it in this industry.

We wish you the best of luck in your endeavours. And remember, persistence is key. Sometimes you have to be turned down 50 times before you’re finally given one opportunity. But when that opportunity knocks, all your hard work done will finally be worth it.

Party Like A Celebrity

It’s the season to be jolly, and what would make you more jolly than partying like a celebrity. It’s not fair that they have all the fun, going to all the best nightclubs and events and travelling in style in limos and flying first class. But we too can have a slice of the celebrity pie and party like a celebrity.

The first thing to get right is what you are going to wear. You must look like celebrity to party like one so you should put your best party gear on. If you are going to try and get into a celebrity hotspot then you must blend in with the celebrities, or even look better than them, which is sometimes not that hard. Pick the most modern outfit you have that will make you look as if you have star quality, to ensure that you look the part next to the celebrities.


The next important factor that you should consider if you want to part like a celebrity is what venue you are going to. Picking the right venue is tougher than you may first think. You have to get the balance right between celebrity customers and us normal people. Do not pick a nightclub that is totally exclusive as no matter how good you may look, if you are not a celebrity or with one, then you won’t get in. So pick a nightclub that you know celebrities go to, but that regular Joes also frequent.

Then you have to think about your travel. If you really want to arrive in style like a celeb, then a taxi is not going to suffice. You need to be a little more creative with your travel options. Obviously not too creative but a limo should do the trick. Limo hire is a common occurrence for celebrities and it should be for you too, if you want to party in celebrity style. There are many options available when it comes to choosing your limo. But you want to be chic and classy so a plain black, silver or white limo is likely to fit the bill. Or why not get a hummer limo hire which is the coolest of the cool in the limo world. A stretched hummer is sure to make you look famous and will impress everyone in the nightclub queue.

Lastly, be prepared to spend a lot of money. In true celebrity style, you will probably part with a lot of cash whether it is spending it on crystal champagne or on the entrance fee to the fancy venue so be prepared. And remember to always be very nice to the bouncers. They are the people you need to convince that you deserve to be in the club to rub shoulders with the rich and famous. So look good, travel by limo and party like a celebrity!

Justice Is Finally Served

There is finally justice for the Goldman family.O.J.finally got what he deserved.He got away with two brutal murders,but in the end he got what he had coming to him.Not enough time in my opinion but 5 to 18 years is still a long time in federal prison,and hopefully it will be a long and hard sentence.

What an idiot,he gets away with two murders and then turns around and does this.He is nothing but a common thug.Had the world by the balls at one time and now not only is he going to jail but he has certainly lost everything now.I hope he never gets paroled and does the entire 18 years.Bottom line is what comes around gos around. Today was the first time many of us actually heard O.J. Simpson say "I'm sorry" in a courtroom. His voice seemed to break and it looked like he was fighting back tears as he read a surprise statement to the judge. He explained: "I didn't want to hurt anybody. I didn't know I was doing anything wrong ... I stand before you somewhat confused." Simpson continued for about five minutes, sometimes rambling, as he talked about how he was merely trying to recover property that had been stolen from his family.


But when it was the judges turn to speak and she said three times I want to be very clear that I'm not punishing you for anything you have done wrong in the past as far as the law gos,you new she was not going to cut him any slack.And she didn't.

Divas, They're Just Like You And Me

Do you demand only the finest 1000 thread count Egyptian Cotton sheets or require that your bath be drawn only with bottled spring water? Do you insist that your coffee be stirred only counterclockwise? If so, then, like many celebrities, you're a diva. Are you surprised to learn that you don't need to be famous to be a diva? Don't be, because divas, they're just like you and me.

Like many Americans who try to stay tuned in to the popular culture, I rely on a number of sources for all of the latest gossip. Now, some celebrities, despite their fame, can come across as sympathetic characters. On the other hand, take Madonna. Apparently she's getting divorced, and that's probably sad, but a recent item quoted a Swedish pop star named Robyn, who had been invited by Madonna to open a handful of her European shows. Robyn had been excited to receive the invitation until she was informed that she and her crew were forbidden to approach Madonna, speak to Madonna, or take any pictures of Madonna. In response, Robyn said that,"My worst nightmare would be to turn into Madonna."


Certainly, it's difficult to know if anecdotes like this are true unless one experiences the wrath and disdain of a celebrity personally, but so many incidents like this have been reported that one begins to wonder whether fame can change one's personality.

The (mis)behaviors of divas fall into two realms, the personal and the interpersonal. In the realm of the personal lie the luxuries and freedoms to which these special people feel entitled. During the making of the boxoffice bomb Basic Instinct 2, for example, Sharon Stone's demands included three nannies, two personal assistants, a private chef, armed bodyguards, and travel by private jet. Why armed bodyguards? Well, perhaps they were needed to fend off the hordes of plastic surgeons whose services she has vowed she would never use. The truly boundarycrossing misbehaviors of divas lie in the interpersonal realm, however, because, for some reason, they seem to feel that the appropriate response to unsatisfactory behavior by one of their minions is the throwing of a cell phone. We have seen this from the Australian actor Russell Crowe, the former supermodel Naomi Campbell, and somebody named Foxy Brown.

What are some of the red flags that can help us spot celebs in the throes of divadom? How about speaking of oneself in the third person ("P. Diddy is not pleased with the price of jet fuel")? Developing an English accent for no apparent reason (Madonna once again)? The use of the fatal phrase,"Don't you know who I am?" (all of them). Yes, those and so many other behaviors can serve as red flags,
but we should primarily be alert to our own feeling that we become lesser or even nonexistent mortals on those rare occasions when we might find ourselves in a celeb's company.

So are these behaviors a consequence of our era of media saturation? Has the constant scrutiny of the media through the Internet, the tabloids, and the celebrity obsessed TV shows created a generation of monsters, or are they just more visible now than they were in the past? Elizabeth Taylor was certainly recognized as being a diva many decades ago. As Bette Davis once said,"The real problem with Liz is that she bought the little lost princess image invented for her at MGM." In a similar vein, I recall an anecdote in which Frank Sinatra was standing in a crowded party tent and decided that he would like to leave. Instead of simply remaining patient and proceeding in a leisurely fashion to the exit, he took out a switchblade, cut an opening in the tent, and walked out. Back in the 80s, the rap group Public Enemy released a song called,"Don't believe the hype." The problem with many of these divas, both past and present, is that they not only believe the hype, they believe that it's fact.

Perhaps to the same extent that we admire celebs because of their accomplishments, we also feel a secret thrill when they're punished for their moral failings. Celebrity is a doubleedged sword, and more often than not, an ascendance into the public eye, sometimes for little or no obvious reason (Paris Hilton, of course, sets the standard), is matched by a similarly precipitous decline through rehab and onto the set of Celebrity Fit Club. If these shooting stars knew in advance that their fame would require a Faustian bargain, would they opt out of the deal? Probably not, because the glare of the flashbulb can be quite seductive.

Because we're all human beings with both higher aspirations and certain baser instincts, we need celebrities. When they're on the rise, they make us feel better about ourselves because they show the heights to which anybody can ascend given the right opportunities and a modicum of talent (or in some cases no identifiable skills at all). Conversely, when celebrities crash and burn, they help us to feel better about ourselves because we haven't yet become dysfunctional enough to end up in that predicament.

While some might suggest that I should leave the analysis of celebrities' psyches to Dr. Phil, I should note that in addition to being a writer (by the way, check out my new satirical novel The Misadventures of Oliver Booth: Life in the Lap of Luxury if you want to have some fun at the expense of the selfobsessed), I'm a licensed clinical psychologist, so perhaps I can offer a few worthwhile insights into their oftentimes ridiculous behavior. In general, I do not believe that fame creates divas. Instead, I believe that certain people have a predisposition to narcissistic, exploitative behavior that becomes unleashed when they're provided with the power and freedom of celebrity. That same behavior might be demonstrated by any one of us if we were given the same opportunities. Divas, you see, they're just like you and me.
