The Gossip Side of Wikipedia

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

Wikipedia is great for getting the facts. But if you want the dirt on celebs, specifically female celebrities, you need to go to Chickipedia. They definitely don’t go into as much detail as Wikipedia, but they have all the dirt and links to other places that dish the dirt. They’re a good jumping off point for pictures, gossip, and even videos of your favorite female celeb. Mine is Britney Spears and their page doesn’t disappoint.

However, I do warn you that it is a bit geared for men, so the details it does provide are from a male point of view, if you catch my drift. It is fun just to surf around thought. Definitely a thumbs up from me. And just between you and me, I’ve made it my homepage.

What are Rihanna’s Measurements?

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

I have a bet going with my buddy. We’re trying to figure out what Rihanna’s measurements are (bust, waist, and hips). You know who I’m talkin about. Rihanna, the girl who sings that song umbrella. Well anyway, my buddy swears she’s “hippier” than what she appears. I think she’s pretty standard. Our debate has actually been going on for weeks. In any regard, I’m trying to find out what her real measurements are. I found one site that has Rihanna facts, biography details, and best of all, Rihanna photos, and the site DOES have her measurements. However, this is the only site I’ve seen that lists them, so I want to make sure they’re accurate before I bring them to the table. Does anyone know of any other site that has hot chick measurements (and pictures would be nice too)? I want to double check the numbers I’ve found.

Steve McQueen Movies

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

Some people have a screen charisma that is hard to define. Steve McQueen movies made McQueen a star, giving him a long career and cult status. Fans love to see him in his anti-hero roles, something that he was particularly good at and was naturally attracted to. However, he would come to show a versatile acting range and he could be a very subtle actor when the part demanded it.

McQueen trained at the famous Actor’s Studio in New York. After appearing on TV and in bit parts in film, he graduated to starring roles. His first lead was in the horror movie, The Blob from 1958. This has become something of a cult classic amongst horror fans.

Anthony Hopkins Movies

Monday, April 21st, 2008

The 1990s was a productive decade for Anthony Hopkins and he made what would become his most famous role. The Silence of the Lambs, directed by Jonathan Demme, gave him his strongest challenge as he played the cannibalistic psychopath Hannibal Lecter. His performance won him the Academy Award for Best Actor. His scenes with Jodie Foster as FBI agent Clarice Starling were compelling. Hopkins went on to play the same character on two other occasions, in Hannibal and in Red Dragon. Lecter is the enduring character of all the Anthony Hopkins movies.A

In fact in many ways Marilyn Monroe has continued to shine even more brightly.

Learning About The Beatles

Friday, March 21st, 2008

My son had never paid too much attention to our music selection. I think he assumed that his parents would not have anything that he would want to listen to. He was very surprised at the number of albums that we still have and that we still have a turntable to play them on. We pulled out a number of Beatles songs that dated back to the early 60’s all the way to the Anthology album. I explained that I had purchased the Anthology Album at the Mall of America when it was first released. They still have a number of new releases on vinyl for the British that come to shop there.

Book chronicles Iowa vacations

Thursday, February 21st, 2008

A book from a retired writer for the Des Moines Register has the title “Iowa is the most fun you can have in the US” and chronicles the many Iowa vacations that the author has taken over the years. Throughout his lifetime he has never been out of the state and every year he went to a different place for his vacation. The vacations changed over the years, starting with just he and his wife, then adding kids one by one, then subtracting the kids one by one, sometimes adding a kid and a kid-in-law, and finally ending with his last vacation alone after the death of his beloved wife. The book is very well written with lots of humor and lots of kid stories such as the camping trip when the kids brought a kitty into the tent. The kitty was all black with a white stripe down the middle of it’s back. The story is told from the perspective of being alone on the last vacation and taking that vacation to look back at all the good time he and his family enjoyed. Although the ending is a bit sad I say it is recommend reading as you will laugh till you cry at most of the adventures.

Branson is in it’s off season

Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008

Have you ever been to Branson Missouri? If you haven’t you should try it. It’s the off season right now but starting in spring the place jumps. You can see all kinds of shows at night, in fact the main street looks like Las Vegas at night with all the signs advertising what is going on. During the day you can golf to your hearts content. There are at least four courses there, three of them public. You can take a ride on the Branson scenic railroad, always a joy. There are countless other forms of entertainment.

The night life is mostly country western in nature although there are other types. Best get there early for the best seats. So load up the station wagon, hit the road, and head for Missouri. You can’t believe how much fun you will have.

Clark Gable And Carole Lombard - Hollywood’s Sweethearts

Thursday, January 10th, 2008

Clark Gable’s third and most famous marriage was to the beautiful Hollywood actress Carole Lombard. To this day, Clark Gable and Carole Lombard are still considered Hollywood’s most famous couple ever. In January of 1942 tragedy would turn Clark Gable’s world upside down. The plane that Carole Lombard and Carole’s mother were flying in crashed into Nevada’s Table Rock Mountain. Sadly, they both lost their lives. After serving in the Army Corps during WWII, Clark Gable would come home from Europe to resume his Hollywood acting career. In 1949, roughly 7 years after the death of Carole Lombard, Clark Gable married the widow of the famed Hollywood actor, Douglas Fairbanks. Sylvia Ashley would become his forth wife, but like his first two marriages, it would end in divorce after only 3 years.

Tony Romo And Jessica Simpson

Tuesday, December 18th, 2007

So the Cowboys lost to the Eagles and people are blaming it on Jessica Simpson? Do you really think Tony Romo had a bad game because she was wearing a pink and white Tony Romo Cowboys jersey? Get real. Tony R. is a professional and a damn good quarterback.

Remember, Jessica was at the Green Bay and NY Jets game. The Cowboys, and Tony Romo in particular, dominated that game. As quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys Tony Romo has put up numbers that Roger Staubach, Danny White and Troy Aikman never could.

Don’t doubt Tony Romo (Jessica Simpson doesn’t).

The Best Place To Download Free James Bond Movies

Monday, December 10th, 2007
The first movie in any series is usually considered the best of the lot and this might be true in some people’s opinion about Dr. No, the very first James Bond movie. I love the mystery involved in the film and who can forget the famous scene of the exquisitely beautiful Ursula Andress emerging from the water onto the sandy beach. I even bought the poster.
Even though the first James Bond movie is a fan favorite, I would have to say that Goldfinger is definitely mine. The scene with that gorgeous woman entirely covered in 24 carat gold paint is so memorable. I could watch it over and over again and I have. Who could forget the evil Odd Job and his deadly hat.

The Magic Of David Copperfield Has Vanished!

Sunday, October 28th, 2007

Almost everyone loves Magic! - And I’ve been a lover of magic since learning how to do magic tricks at the age of six.

The pleasure I’ve gained from years of performing magic tricks and entertaining others has been tremendous and the camaraderie of other magicians throughout the world in something that makes the world of magic unique.

As magicians, we have a great deal of respect and admiration for our fellow performers and one of the best known of modern day illusionists is David Copperfield.

I’ve always admired the Magic of David Copperfield and indeed still do.

However, my admiration for the man himself has greatly diminished since reading the news about the ongoing investigation into his alleged rape of a young lady at his hideaway island retreat in the Bahamas.

Thinking About Hiring a Tribute Band? Check Them Out 1st Before It’s Too Late!

Thursday, September 20th, 2007
If you are planning a special occasion, such as a wedding, party or even a corporate event, it might be a great idea to hire a tribute band. DJs are common and so are cover bands but a great tribute band can really get your party going with a swing and are not as expensive as you might think.Tribute bands have become hugely popular, some of them are so close to the real thing that it is almost impossible to tell them apart. There are also some dreadful ones around, so if you are considering a tribute band, you need to make sure you use a reputable company, preferably one who has been in business for a while, provides you with plenty of choice, is reasonably priced and has testimonials from past happy customers. A bad tribute band can ruin your special day or party, or be embarrassing if it is a corporate function, so it is best to be cautious and do some research before booking the first tribute band you happen to come across.There are many tribute acts in the UK and the choice is immense. Whether you are looking for Abba tribute bands, Beatles tribute bands, Queen tribute bands, cover tribute bands or something quite different, the odds are very good that you will be able to find just what you are looking for. Tribute bands are great fans of the originals themselves and will go to great lengths to look and sound just like them, paying attention to every last detail so their customers get the most authentic experience possible. There have been many TV shows featuring tribute bands and impersonators. Some of the most popular shows today include Pop Idol and Stars in Their Eyes because people love tribute acts and impersonators.

The first ever tribute bands were probably The Beatles and Elvis. Today, there are literally hundreds of Elvis tribute acts in the UK alone! Famous tribute bands include Bjorn Again (Abba) and Beatlemania (The Beatles) and tribute band names are often a pun of the original name. Many tribute bands these days are well known and have their own fan bases. Hiring a tribute band is a way of bringing your favourite stars to your own party or event. Rather than go to an impersonal concert, you can share the enjoyment with your friends and family in your own settings. After the show, you can even mingle with the stars!

If you are not sure which tribute band would be the best, have a think about the occasion. If it is your daughter, perhaps an Anastacia impersonator would be ideal to get the party started or how about some Kylie? For a slightly older audience, you could consider Bee Gees tribute bands, Rolling Stones tribute bands, Blondie tribute bands or even Beach Boys tribute bands. For something a little different, there are even Jam tribute bands, U2 tribute bands, Blues Bros tribute bands and everything in between. Browsing artistes on the internet lets you see the performers photos too so you can see how much they resemble the original artiste.

If you are still not sure what would be the best thing, you can browse performers online or talk to someone in the tribute band hire company and see what they can suggest. Try to book your act as soon a possible to guarantee availability of your favourite band but even if you are booking at the last minute, you might still be able to get a great tribute band if you’re lucky.

As I have mentioned, you have to be very careful about how you find tribute bands. There are plenty of unscrupulous companies around who wouldn’t think twice about taking your money and sending a second rate performer or band. There are probably more scam agencies than good ones so you do need to take care. You can shop around for the best price but remember that if a tribute band is extremely cheap, this could indicate that they are not very good! Hiring a bad band could ruin your party and be humiliating for you since you are the one responsible for booking them in the first place. If you want to hire a tribute band always shop around first before committing yourself to any particular act or company.

If you’d like further information about hiring a tribute band for your special event try visiting http://www.tributebandreviews.co.uk A site that specializes in providing information and independent reviews about tribute bands.

Glamour, Glitz & Gold — Planning Your Trip to Monaco

Friday, July 6th, 2007

Whether driving or flying, getting to Monaco is easy. From the International Airport in Nice, you can even take a 7-½ minute helicopter ride to Monaco via Heli Air Monaco or Monicair. About the size of Central Park in New York City, Monaco is three miles long and one-half mile wide. Although it’s the second smallest country in the world (Vatican City is the smallest), Monaco nonetheless offers something for everyone.

Monaco is divided into five districts. The Condamine, which is the second oldest area in Monaco. Monte Carlo is famous for its casino, luxury hotels and unique boutiques. It features the Révoires and the Exotic Gardens. Hotels and accommodations in Monaco range from the very inexpensive to the luxurious. Monaco’s flagship hotel is still the “Hotel de Paris” with its almost unbelievable luxury and unparalleled attention to your every wish.

A wonderful family hotel that even offers onsite babysitting is the Tulip Inn Monaco Terminus. The Monte Carlo Grand Hotel is an imposing building, with seven polygonal terraces that overlook the Med or the Grand Prix race course. Arguably the finest restaurant in Monaco is the Louis XV.

Mariah Carey Bio

Saturday, June 30th, 2007

Noted for her distinctive singing style, Carey possesses a five-octave vocal range, and her vocals make frequent use of melismas and other ornamentation. During the 1990s, she released fifteen U.S. number-one hits on Columbia Records, run by then-husband Tommy Mottola, several of which broke chart records. By the turn of the millennium, Carey’s popularity with critics and the public had entered decline, and she was dropped from her new record label following a highly-publicised physical breakdown and an unsuccessful foray into film. In 2005, Carey returned to the forefront of R&B music with her multi-platinum album The Emancipation of Mimi, which spawned her sixteenth number-one single, “We Belong Together”.

Sharon Stone Bio

Saturday, June 30th, 2007

She was said to be a smart and ambitious child. She has described herself as “a nerdy, ugly duckling who sat in the back of the closet with a flashlight and read. I was never a kid. I walked and talked at 10 months. I started school in the second grade when I was five, a real weird, academically driven kid, not at all interested in being social. Recess was a drag until I realized I didn’t have to play, that I could lean up against a wall and read.” Most of the kids disliked her because she was standoffish and didn’t play children’s games. One day on the playground she announced, “I am the new Marilyn Monroe.” Her mother said “Sharon has been posing from the day she arrived. She came out posing.”
