Madonna Magazine Cover Star

Madonna Ciccone moved from Michigan to New York City in the late 1970s to pursue a career in modern dance. 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.

In 1992 Madonna appeared on the cover of Entertainment Weekly magazine. This magazine cover became one of the most controversial covers of Madonna’s career. Madonna appears nude with a question mark over her body. The cover was part of the controversy of her photography book promotion.

Madonna also appeared on the cover of People magazine when she gave birth to daughter Lourdes Leon in 1996 and when she married British film-director Guy Ritchie in 2000. Throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s Madonna appeared on magazine covers like Elle, Marie Claire, Esquire, Spin, Vanity Fair, Interview, InStyle, Ladies Home Journal and Entertainment Weekly.

In the fall of 2008 Madonna made many magazine covers again including celebrity magazines like Us Weekly, People magazine, OK magazine and Life & Style magazine when rumors swirled that her marriage to Ritchie was on the rocks and she was having an affair with Yankees baseball star Alex Rodriguez.

On October 15, 2008, a spokeswoman confirmed that Madonna and husband Guy Ritchie plan to divorce, which generated more magazine covers like Us Weekly, People magazine, OK magazine and Life & Style 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.

Celebrities Getting Tattooed

From the early 1990's on, there has been a huge increase in the popularity of tattooing among the general public in North America and Europe, a trend that has since spread around the world. Anyone who has taken even the most cursory glance at the mainstream media during the past decade or so could quite easily come away with the impression that the current popular interest in tattoos and other forms of body modification, such as body piercing, has arisen out of a cultural void and that there is scant evidence to suggest where the roots of the resurgence might lie. In point of fact, nothing could be further from the truth.

Tattoos have had a rich and colourful history in western popular culture for the better part of two centuries and nowhere is this better illustrated than by the rather extraordinary number of historical figures and modern day celebrities who, have sported or currently have body art.


The most popular tattooed celebrities are:
CHRISTINA AGUILERA, DAVID BECKHAM, KELLY CLARKSON, JOHNNY DEPP, EMINEM, 50 CENT, SARAH MICHELLE GELLAR, PARIS HILTON, NATALIE IMBRUGLIA, ANGELINA JOLIE

Charlie Chaplin And ‘talkies’

Sir Charles Spencer Chaplin, Jr., whom we know on the silver screen as Charlie Chaplin, was born in Walworth, London in 1889. He grew up in a family of entertainers, and began singing at a young age. His parents had separated when Charlie was three years old, and he moved around quite a bit while living under his mother’s care. The Chaplin family was plagued with demons, as his father became a reclusive alcoholic, and his mother had fallen mentally ill and was eventually placed in an insane asylum. After all of this, Charlie and his brother became very close, and relied heavily on their performing talents to survive.

Above all else, Charlie Chaplin was a true cinematic artist, and took the work he did very seriously, because he wanted to entertain the masses. After the invention of the ‘talkies’, or movies with sound, he felt that cinema began to decline in artistic value, and that actors relied too heavily on dialogue rather than movement and interaction. Chaplin firmly believed that “silent film's message reaches the entire spectrum of ‘intellectual and the rank and file’”(Durham, Handler, Racusin & Simonian 1999). The motivation behind his early silent films was the extensive use of imagination, both by the actors as well as the audience. He had almost complete control of his work because not only was he an actor, but a director and writer as well.


Much of Chaplin’s fame has come from the conception of his hilarious and offbeat character, the Tramp. He had explained that it was a sort of bold statement against the status quo. Prior to shooting the film Mabel’s Strange Predicament, he was feeling indecisive about the wardrobe for the main character. As a result, he decided to play it over the top, and choose a look that defied the status quo. He wanted the ultimate contradiction in appearance. Chaplin felt that by dressing in baggy pants, a derby hat, a tight coat, topped off with a tiny mustache, he could exaggerate the movements and characterization on screen. He had studied pantomime when he was much younger, and brought a great deal of this art form to his films. He communicated everything onscreen through his actions, because he truly felt that they spoke louder than words.

Over time, Charlie Chaplin eventually succumbed to the trend of using sound in his films. Many of his fans felt that he was a hypocrite because of his public scorn for sound in pictures. But, he more than made up for this by incorporating subtle statements of his political views into his films. The new medium allowed him the opportunity to “include a critique of industrial working conditions in the United States during the Depression, and a strong critique of the Fascist regime of Adolph Hitler” (Durham, et. Al 1999). After doing this, Chaplin’s popularity remained quite strong during the 1930s, yet he worried that this brashness was not quite the image he wanted to portray. Despite avoiding full-length dialogue in most of his ‘talkies’, he decided to break down and insert speaking interactions for the characters of his 1940 film, The Great Dictator. Eventually, because of the extended length of films, and because dialogue was such an integral part, “an actor needed to move beyond constant slapstick” (Charlie Chaplin 2007). Chaplin’s films had to take on a more serious tone that was not as over-the-top as people had been used to seeing him.

Because sound in film allowed Chaplin’s messages to be heard the world over, this caused quite a backlash, particularly from the United States government. Though born in England, Charlie Chaplin lived in the United States for an extensive period of time, producing nearly all of his works here. During the McCarthy era, Chaplin’s activities were closely monitored, as the FBI noticed several communist messages in his works being transmitted on screen. In 1952, J. Edgar Hoover, the Director of the FBI during this time, saw to it that Chaplin was not to be allowed to return to the U.S. after making a long trip back to London.

Charlie Chaplin was truly a genius that will go down as one of the most influential people in the history of cinema. He truly loved the art form, and stayed true to his craft throughout most of his career. Though he had to adapt eventually to the usage of sound in film, he was still able to allow his statements to be heard, while remaining a powerful force in Hollywood.

Angelina Jolie Is Paris Hilton’s Idol

Celebutante Paris Hilton has confessed in a recent interview that she would like to become Angelina Jolie. She looks up to the sexy mom and actress a lot and believes that the both of them would get along very well. “I love Angelina Jolie,” Paris gushes. “She’s strong but gorgeous and uses her fame for good to make a big difference in the world. That’s a great quality. I’d have a lot in common with her.”

Paris adds: ““I don’t like it when people are liars or users - girls who are just trying to be my friend for the wrong reasons. I’ve had a lot of people in my past who were friends with me just to get publicity. When I was young, my mom or sister used to have to point out if someone was using me to make a name for themselves – you know, linking arms with me on the red carpet and trying to get in every picture. But now I can see for myself when someone is just hungry for attention.”


This seems to be a very strange sentiment, coming from the 27-year-old heiress. Considering that Paris has been traipsing around the world with her new BFF Brittany Flickinger, whom she officially befriended on-camera on her latest reality show My New BFF, she seems to be contradicting herself. My New BFF, as the title clearly suggests, is a drawn-out audition for Paris’s new best friend, chosen from a roster of applicants from all over the United States.

In an attempt to clarify things a little bit, Paris goes on to say: “I have this great test to see if a girl’s a real friend. When we’re shopping I’ll pick out an outfit that I know looks hot and one that is awful. If my friend says the bad one looks good, I know she’s not a good friend.”

Paris newest reality show project is My New BBF (British Best Friend), wherein she lets Brits take a crack this time at becoming her latest tag-along. There will be fourteen people who will vie for the title, taking on a series of challenges that will test their BBF potential.

Top 5 Tips On How To Look Like Those Shirtless Male Celebrities

Brad Pitt, Christian Bale, Matt Damon, Zac Efron, Justin Timberlake, what do these people all have in common: they are all male, good looking, famous, but most of all, they are pictures of these people shirtless. Male celebrities, just like their female counterparts, are equally objectified as objects of sexual desire. And whatever a woman might say, they all find well built bodies attractive. Once I knew this girl who said she hated those over muscular macho types. She finds them scary. Now this is also true. A lot of girls in some cultures find muscular men to be scary, as if they might get too roughed up in sex. So does this mean that not all women life muscles? I don’t think so.

Except perhaps for Arnold Schwarzenegger, no one successful guy in Hollywood would work out to look like a freaking dinosaur. The overly muscular types are what women run away from. They tend to look like ogres. People would stereotypically assume that a guy that pumped up with testosterone beats his wife and kids (think of the late Chris Benoit).

3. Also notice how lean these guys look. They may be big, but their fat is down to a minimum. This is why those muscles look so well defined. If you’ve got a lot of muscles but also have a lot of fat, those muscles won’t show so clearly.

4. Now that the image of how you should look like shirtless male celebrities is burned directly to your neural cortex, start doing the hard sweaty work of, well of working out.

1. Get all the right equipment.


Fitness awareness has boomed for the past couple of decades. There are so many gyms around nowadays. A lot of them are very affordable; you just need to look around. When you go to the gym, remember to bring the two most needed equipments: weightlifting shoes and chalk. After a few weeks, you may need to bring a lifting belt and or fractional plates.

2. Learn to do the most basic barbell weight lifting properly.

This is what’s so good about being in the gym: there are experts there to help you start out. Otherwise, go buy a book, there’s also lots of those. Learn from them these important barbell lifts – the full squat, overhead press, bench press, power clean, and deadlift. With these in your arsenal, you can already achieve your goal. Justin Timberlake, shirtless and pumping himself is reportedly using mostly these kinds of lifts.

3. Take advantage of the right training programs.

There is an appropriate training program for you, and these are all based on increasing the resistance or weights in the five basic lifts mentioned earlier. Consult your trainer for this. Or your book (most training books for beginners have this.)

4. Eat, eat, eat, and eat.

Get your dose of protein everyday from meats, eggs. Eat lots of veggies and fruits, and drink lots of milk. Multivitamins, fish oil, and most importantly, whey protein are very important especially for your body type. These will do wonders and are really worth the buy.

5. Finally, sleep well and do not over do your cardio workouts.

If you are already thin, doing too much cardio workouts will have an adverse effect since it might burn the nutrients you need to build muscles. Sleeping is also very important because it balances out your body and you tend to absorb more of the nutrients you need. In any case, getting enough sleep is ALWAYS important. Just follow these and you’ll be like Justin Timberlake shirtless and getting all the chicks in no time.

The New Year is barely in the door and we are already looking to our favorite celebrities to show us how to make this our best year in Fashion yet.
Anne Hathaway is a celebrity style icon in the making already, with her raven hair and creamy skin. With her fashion break out role in The Devil Wear Prada, the public took notice of her expressive appearance.

Missoni knits feature an incredible weave of colors that give only a nod to the boho look and make knits the comfortable choice. Natasha Leratti offers an affordable knit look at her latest fashion designer collection website, in a citrus kissed yellow mini dress, accented by the ever popular black and white.

As a new celebrity who dresses the celebrities, Rachel Zoe’s own style has taken storm due to her reality show. One can’t miss the larger than life luxurious fur vests she favors, paired with skirts or skinny jeans. While she favors vintage, her look has an exotic flair that evokes a Russia meets West Coat influence. Strong prints in rich colors, chunky knits, and bold jewelry are the staple of her look. We will look to her to show us how to mix unusual textures and prints. Rachel is a perfect example of being able to dress high-low by taking a vintage $2000 Chanel gown and mixing it with a $98 faux fur vest from The Limited. Not only is her look fun and fresh, it inspires our inner designer to take risks in mixing styles.

Tough Girl or Biker Chic will edge its way back in, due to the strong women it evokes. The rock style looks of Rihanna and Pink brings their influence to a look that can be dressed up or down. Rihanna will be a style setter for this year with her stunning good looks and cutting edge fashion style. Her sweet smile accentuates her glam rocker appeal. Little black dresses are topped off with edgy fitted jackets that offer zippers, rips, and a sharper structure. While leather seems like an obvious choice, look for unusual takes on the jacket that include fitted knit sweaters over skinny black pants and boots. Leather pants and thigh high boots are creating a tough but glam look. Studded accents on designer handbags or boots are offset with shiny sequins to bring in a feminine touch. A Balenciaga Biker Bag may set you back thousands of dollars for this look, but consider checking out Leratti’s Latest Collection to find her take on new and vintage designer handbags to suit this look.


While it may take awhile for this trend to gain steam, many celebrities have been photographed wearing the new jumpsuit. Kate Hudson, Scarlett Johannsen, and Rosario Dawsen have been seen adding their touch to this retro look. Chunky belts, long chains, and miles of bangles add spunk and glamour to an otherwise simple style. Look for silky, flowy materials that accentuate movement, and show subtle glimpses of skin. Styles will be long or cropped, and will be set off with sexy high heels or boots. The jumpsuit can be dressed down for day, or up for cocktail hour, and may prove to have a versatile ability for the modern women. Look for spring neutrals to bring a safari –tinged feel to the style.

Whoever your style icon may be, develop your own sense of style by visiting Leratti‘s online store. We are a Miami based High End Fashion Designer Label with a cutting edge vibe and distinct sense of style.

Celebrities have long been the trendsetters in the world of fashion and style. People go crazy about what their favorite movie or sport stars wear, about their hairstyles, about their brands of perfumes and frills and about all they have to offer.

You Can Learn A Lot From Celebrities

Who is your favorite celebrity? I know that people often read about celebrities and psychics at the same time. I think that its incredible that people find it appealing to connect with celebrities as if they know them personally. I often hear people saying, Did you know that Oprah broke up with Steadman? Or I think Paris Hilton lost too much weight. These are just some topics out of thousands that I have heard about celebrities. Its amazing to me because 99% of all people will never meet the celebrity that they know so much about.

All that they really know about them is what they read about them in the magazine or newspaper. I think that it is funny because most people have no idea that they have the power to control their celebrity fantasy. I think that some people enjoy reading about celebrities because they believe that they may one day meet that person.


Its almost like most men that watch football and baseball only watch it because they dream of being just like that sports star. Its like a grow man will still think in his mind that this is his dream. People often read about and talk about what they really would like to become or be. Its just human nature I guess.

I find that most celebrities like Paris Hilton and Britney Spears and always talked about in the media. They are more like the modern day Elvis Presley of the past. He couldnt go anywhere without people following him around. Its amazing how much the world has changed over the years with the Paparazzi following celebrities around wherever they go.

I think that its amazing when people dont fully understand their surroundings and they have to really learn how to focus in on their own lives again. You need to look at your own life and feel a sense of belonging to yourself before you can let go of a celebrity obsession.

There is nothing wrong with being a common person. You dont have to be rich and famous to be important. Sometimes you may think that, but really when you are by yourself, you are just like anyone else. Celebrities are not exempt to any rule. They are just as sad and happy as anyone else. The next time that you pick up a celebrity magazine, you may want to ask yourself if you can fully understand what the person is talking about. You may also want to ask yourself if you are trying to be just like that celebrity and how you can change that about yourself. Being you is most important.

Brands Shining With Star Power

I have a three year old kid who wants the same biscuits that ‘ShahRukh Uncle’ eats, a friend who insisted on buying a Whirlpool refrigerated because “both Ajay Devgan and Kajol think it’s the best technology”, an aunt who uses only Olay Total Effects cream because “the ultimate woman of substance ‘Sushmita Sen’ looks so pretty due to it” and a brother who believes only in Samsung mobiles because the man who is satisfied with nothing but perfection – Amir Khan swears by it.

As far as I myself am concerned, if both Aishwarya Rai and Katrina Kaif think that the Nakshatra range of diamond jewelry is the best of the ‘best friend of a woman’, I really wouldn’t mind checking it out first over any other less prominent brand ! So, do you underestimate the star power behind the brands? Well, I certainly do not! My experience with advertisements clearly shows that if there is a popular star endorsing a product, I would certainly remember it more than any other product of the same category.


The End Customer’s Perspective
We, as the end customers and the targets for all the advertisements and endorsements hardly realize the impact of such ads on our psychology when we see them. However, the truth is that even if we are not paying attention to the endorsements, they will get registered in our sub conscience more strongly if there is our favorite star in them.

Higher Visibility
In an age of cable television and flood of channels where the actual screen time of any show is reduced considerably to accommodate as many endorsements as possible, if a brand wants to attract the attention of the average viewer and get a higher visibility, celebrity presence is the best way to do it. An advertisement instantly shines out with the presence of a star and definitely attracts increased viewer ship. Viewers are also more likely to notice what is the star endorsing if he/she is a more popular star.

Increase in Credibility.
For a layman, the thought that if such a popular and even to some extent financially sound person is standing up to speak in favor of a product then he/she must have seen some sort of reliability in it before giving his/her own name for it also provides a sense of assurance. Therefore a common man will use such a product with more ease and confidence due to its increased credibility.

Higher Sense of Comfort
The fact that a known celebrity is using the same product available in your next door super market also provides a sense of comfort to the end customer. It is a soothing thought that something that you are going to use has been tried and tested by a trustable, known source who wouldn’t just settle down for anything and everything.

Intrigue and Curiosity
There is no proof required that if there is your favorite star or star couple on the screen endorsing a product which you are seeing for the first time and even if you are in middle of something important, you will stop by to at least find out for once as to what is it all about!

Picture Saif and Kareena together in the latest Airtel ad. You are already so hit by the news of their relationship by the entire media that when they come for a new ad together for the first time, would you not stop by and look at it - if not for anything else then for plainly checking out their chemistry in the apparent real life situation. Well, I certainly did and that is what made me remember what the featured product was in the ad.

The Parent Company’s Perspective
The companies behind the brands getting endorsed by the celebrities certainly must have seen a rise in their sales to invest heavily in an advertisement starring one. Only then would they spend a much larger sum on hiring a star for the ad rather than getting a lesser known model that could be available in a far less price.

Establishing a Brand
Be it Amitabh Bachchan endorsing Himani’s Navratan hair oil, Amir Khan for samsung mobile phone or Sanjay Dutt (and Hrithik Roshan in the latest one) endorsing Rupa’s inner wares, the presence of such high profile stars in the ads launch the products to a larger consumer base and helps a lot in establishing them. The target customer believes his star more and derives delight in using the same product as he does.

On the other hand, if there is a new product entering a market, it is sure to get instant recognition irrespective of whether it comes from an established and experienced company or not only if it has a leading star endorsing it.

Increase in Customer Base
Companies are ready to spend to a large extent just to rope in a known star to endorse their product. The primary reason obviously being a resultant increase in the sales of the product. For instance, according to sources, Bank of Baroda, after hiring Rahul Dravid to endorse itself registered an increase of around three million customers in just two years.

A star or celebrity endorsing a product not only gives it instant credibility but also creates a sense of comfort, assurance and confidence in the consumers and acts as a major incentive for them to be less skeptical about it and at least try it once. It makes you think, somebody said it oh so rightly – “never underestimate the star power”!!.

Becoming An Actor

Because of the good pay and fame it brings, many kids desire being an actor someday. Even parents push their children and encourage them to become actors (as they see this as their ticket to get away from poverty).

The first thing you need to realize is that this desire or dream can become a reality if you're willing to put in the time, effort, training, dedication, passion and patience required to make it. Like a famous three-word one-liner of an actor search goes: Dream, Believe, Survive.


First is the dream, or the desire to become an actor. Then comes the faith, you should believe in yourself whatever hardships you may encounter in the process. It is very rare to become an instant actor unless your family is in the business for a long time already. Then you have to survive. Survive all the hardships in trainings, all the late night and weekend workshops and endless lining up in auditions.

Look for an inspiration, one that is an actor already. Learn his style in acting and try to imitate him, then learn to act. Acting is first and foremost a craft. The best of the actors understand this and no matter how far they have come in their careers, they are constantly looking to improve upon their craft. They take classes, work with acting and dialogue workshop trainers, study life experiences, and other great actors in the field. They are very aware that learning to act is a continuous process.

Jessica Simpson: Magazine Controversies

Jessica Ann Simpson was born in 1980 in Abilene, Texas to a homemaker mother and minister father. Like so many successful American singers, Simpson grew up singing in church. While in high school she cut a gospel music album and toured on the Christian music circuit. During this time Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola heard one of Simpson’s releases and signed the young singer.

In 2000 Simpson released the single “I Wanna Love You Forever,” which peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard magazine Hot 100 charts. Her debut album, “Sweet Kisses,” went double-platinum, selling two million copies. Simpson followed up the success with another popular album, “Irresistible.”


Still, Simpson didn’t really achieve great success until 2003 when the MTV reality show, “Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica” aired. The year before Simpson married 98 Degrees singer Nick Lachey, whom she met on tour in the late 1990s. The show was a runaway hit and made Simpson a household name. Simpson released an album “In This Skin,” which coincided with the debut of “Newlyweds.” The album peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard magazine 200 chart and went triple-platinum.

During this time of enormous popularity Simpson appeared on many magazine covers including Elle, Glamour, Us Weekly, Cosmopolitan, OK! magazine, People magazine, Harper’s Bazaar, Rolling Stone and Esquire among many more.

Sadly, 10 months after “Newlyweds” went off the air Simpson filed for divorce from Lachey, citing irreconcilable differences. The divorce was finalized summer of 2006. A few months later Simpson told Elle magazine she was hurt and disappointed Lachey jumped back in the dating game only a few weeks after the divorce was final.

As for Simpson, she was linked in an on-and-off relationship with musician John Mayer in celeb mags like People, Us Weekly and Life & Style. In 2007 Simpson began dating Tony Romo, quarterback for the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys. Though the relationship has gotten some negative attention from Cowboys fans, Simpson and Romo are reportedly going strong and are often photographed in celebrity magazines.

In 2006 Simpson returned to the studios for her fourth album, which debuted at No. 5 on Billboard magazine’s 200 albums chart and a Top 20 single. But the success didn’t last long and the album fell off the charts quickly. Then in 2007 Simpson’s father told People magazine the singer was considering a move to country music, citing her Texas roots as an inspiration. So far Simpson has achieved moderate success in her cross-over to country music and as of 2009 is touring on the country music circuits and has garnered a few country music hits.

Though Simpson has found modest success with her new country music career more attention has gone to her supposed weight gain. Practically every women’s magazine and every celebrity magazine including People magazine, Us Weekly, Life & Style, OK! magazine and more have run cover stories on the singer’s supposed dramatic weight gain. Amidst the weight controversy, Simpson is on tour and is enjoying success with her women’s clothing line.

The Haves Verses The Have Not’s

Recently I overheard a couple of guys at the sports bar discussing the lawsuit that has been brought against the now famous Albert Haynesworth, who just signed a multimillion dollar deal with the Washington Redskins. I almost laughed because their conversation could have been about politics, Wall Street and the banking industry or Health Care.

You see we have the perceived “haves” and the “have not’s”. I say perceived because we really don’t always know for sure who the haves or have nots are but we do know the perception. The haves are the Albert Haynesworth’s, the Republicans, the CEO’s of Wall Street and the banks as well as the Health Insurance and Pharmaceutical Companies.


The have not’s are the rest of us who do not fall into the have category. I believe there are more have not’s these days than haves.

The Haves argument: the haves have and deserve to have because of education, talent, family status, shred business dealings and the have not’s are just whiners who happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. They need to understand that they will never be a have and just roll over and die somewhere! (Yes, I am taking some liberties here)

The Have Not’s argument: the haves may have but they also lie to their mother, cheat on their wives, steal from each other and take advantage of the have not’s any way they possibly can. Just because the haves have, doesn’t mean that the have not’s shouldn’t fight for their right to become a have!

Whew, this could get bloody!

I sat sipping on a beer just waiting to see which one of these guys would give in and concede that the other one was right; or was I watching the unmovable object against the unstoppable force? One was convinced that the young man that Haynesworth had crashed into was playing it up for all it was worth and just wanted a pile of cash.

The other guy argued that if Haynesworth was responsible at all, and he admitted hitting the guy’s car, he should have to pay for the medical bills and any rehabilitation; and it would help if he showed a little remorse; that’s what anyone should do.

So after a while they turned to a different subject completely but I wanted to see what really happened and looked it up online. The bottom line is Albert Haynesworth was going over 100mph when he crashed into Corey Edmondson’s door sending him into a concrete barricade. I mean the guy had to be cut out of the car! Cory has had several surgeries including a hip replacement and the medical bills that go with it! They are now around $230,000 and continue to grow daily.

Conclusion: Wall Street and the Bankers got bailed out; Health Insurance Companies (AIG) got bailed out; Republicans got voted out; but the guy Haynesworth hit, Corey Edmondson, is stuck unless the rest of us, the haves and the have not’s, help a guy out. In the mean time; Mr. Haynesworth, give us all a break and do the right thing by this guy!

You got it right! CSI: MIAMI. Dude they are great. Among the 3 CSIs, this one is my favorite and the cast is perfect especially David Caruso (Hotario Caine). CSI: Miami is the only show in the CS fanchise to have crossed over with both CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and CSI: New York.

There are lots of CSI: Miami followers, and thats include me. Though there are times that I missed some episodes but I surf the net. But to tell you, I have a friend who is so addicted to this.

Wear Positive Attitude| Wise Up: Smart Is The New Black Says Lisa Germinsky

Now that Obama is a couple months into his term and the Dubya jokes are quickly fading from memory -- let's just agree that the former president wasn't, how shall we say, cerebral -- I just can't pin our collective mess on the man. What were most of us doing while the country was being run into the ground? Searching for the next "American Idol"? Spelling like a fifth-grader? Waiting for the next pop tart’s wardrobe malfunction?

Let’s face it team, we haven’t exactly been at the top of our game. But the times they are-a-changin'.


Wooed by the refreshing sound of a president and his basic grasp of the English language, I listened to President Obama speak frankly to our mounting obstacles during a February press conference. And while the state of our nation unsettles me, I take comfort in our leader’s unwavering determination, vision and most of all, his intelligence.

Then it occurred to me: It’s cool to be smart. Has President Obama single-handedly inspired a nation to pull its head out of its ass? A little evidence that we’re yearning to think again:

1. Our "It Girl" is smart. We can’t get enough of Tina Fey. She might be easy on the eyes but that’s not what we first noticed her for. We love Fey because she made it fun to think about issues we’ve preferred to ignore. She cleverly and courageously used the world stage to say the things we were dying to hear.

2. The ultimate fashion authority says so. Vogue dedicated several pages of its January issue to Katie Couric, Campbell Brown and Rachel Maddow. And not in an investigative "Which-designers-are-in-your-closets-ladies?" kind of way. No, it’s all business. Vogue celebrates the women transforming broadcast news, pushing the boundaries and taking the lead on asking tough questions.

3. The frivolous are taking heed. Meet the Recessionista, formerly known as the Fashionista. They’ve abandoned Carrie Bradshaw’s financial credo -- "I like my money where I can see it: hanging in my closet" -- for more conservative cues from the likes of Suze Orman... who, I promise, will never tell you Manolo Blahniks are sound investment.

4. Demetri Martin. Haven’t heard of him yet? Pay attention. Curiously politics-free and furtively smart, his new show, Important Things, made its Comedy Central debut last month.. "New York" magazine sums it up best, “So if the last election signaled a free-floating desire among young people to embrace a shift toward the smart, the different, and the new, then Demetri Martin is the man arriving at the exact right moment.”

5. Even our class-clown is growing up. The ever-charming, celeb-punking Ashton Kutcher is putting his infectious energy and multi-tasking mind to good use. He recently announced his commitment to end human trafficking and the sexual exploitation of children through his Presidential Pledge. Kutcher has since rallied hundreds of fellow celebrities to make pledges of their own, and continues to encourage all of us to be the change. He's even using his newfound social media presence to help sick kids.

Brains are back. Fiscal responsibility, the environment, the war in Iraq, human rights, poverty, healthcare -- it’s all got to stay top-of-mind. Take your pick, because there’s a mountain of work to do. We can no longer afford the luxury of ignorance or keep waiting around for someone else do to the job. Sure, we’re still going to dance with the stars and keep Britney steadied at the top of our Yahoo searches (we’re Americans after all), but first, we’re going to do our homework.
