Missing Joan Rivers!

2014-09-06T12:55:00.000-07:00

Joan Rivers, will be missed----probably more so by your manager, and people whose bills you paid. I didn't like her TV show on E, of Fashion Police, but I miss her style of humor. She said what we were all thinking. Her style of humor was ageless, funny, brash, often crass, hilarious, and she made it BIG in a business dominated by men.
Joan Rivers was born in 1933, died of surgery complications, in 2014.

She was a voice that we needed to hear. Yeah, sure some of her jokes were downright cruel, but she was incredibly funny. She joked about herself and other women. Somehow she managed to make growing older a funny thing, not something we all should not do and we should not enjoy. No one was safe when it came to Joan Rivers, she even made fun of Michelle Obama, abortions, giving birth, suicide, and plastic surgery.

Joan Rivers was so funny, I loved watching her seemingly weekly appearances on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. That is until she got her own show on FOX, and Johnny would not talk to her anymore. Talk about childish behavior!

I miss her style of humor because she was one of the only people, who said what was politically incorrect, and made it funny. She made fun of herself, which many comedians do not do. I also liked Kathy Griffen until she started sounding like a bossy, rabid dog on stage.

Meanwhile I have learned , that Rivers was worth 150 million dollars when she died. I am almost certain her estate will grow exponentially in the next few months, due to her name being out there so much. After Michael Jackson died, his upcoming, heartbreaking money issues were over as his movie, and his songs sold record levels, making him worth more in death than in life. I also found out that Joan Rivers made more money on her line of jewelry than on her stage shows during the last years of her life.

All I can say is Joan Rivers, you will be missed---because underneath that overmade up , over Botoxed exterior was a heart of gold! Copyright (c) 2014!

Mick Jagger Had Sex With 4,000 Women!

2014-01-19T13:25:00.000-08:00

70 year old Rolling Stones front man Mick Jagger is a major womanizer and a possible sex addict.There I said it. It's out there. In a book written in 2012, by Christopher Andersen, the snarky details of Mick Jagger's lifestyle come pouring out.

Things you might not know about Jagger, or maybe you really did want to know that he has had sex with over 4,000 women, had 7 kids with 4 women, that we know of, and would not give the mother of his first child, Karis any money. UGH! Back in the later 1960's and 1970's Mick refused to give the mother of his first child any money, until Mick became older and perhaps wiser.

After reading the book MICK, I was seriously thinking of writing a book all about Mick Jagger's sexual dalliances.He had sex with over 4,000 women! Mick Jagger had sex according to the book MICK, with famous men, that I'm not naming because I have some standards after all. He even had sex with the Nanny , while Jerry Hall was breastfeeding their new baby in the next room!

After Jerry Hall, (Mick's second wife), divorced Jagger, she started saying more about Mr. Jagger. She and Keith Richards tried to get him to go into sex therapy for his sexual addiction problem.
Jerry Hall and many of his other women said he would have sex many times in one day.

Where he got all of that energy from is beyond me! Copyright (c) 2014!

Ten Ways to act like a Celebrity by Kate Johns

2013-04-04T10:32:00.000-07:00

I found an article on Yahoo written about the star Kevin James. Yahoo had 11 pictures showing Kevin James' house. My first thought was, "Who the hell is Kevin James, and why should I care?" But curiosity got the best of me, and I looked at the pictures of his house. I was shocked seeing the house Kevin James lived in cost millions and millions of dollars.

It was a mansion built on a hill overlooking a beautiful landscape, and other mansion-like homes. Kevin James in not a super recognizable, good looking ultra in shape kind of star, like Will Smith, and he owns a mansion overlooking the hills of California?
After seeing Kevin James in his TV show, The King of Queens, and starring in several movies,(Mall Cop), we can only imagine what kind of mansion Will Smith lives in.

Someday you might have to b.s.your way into a Hollywood movie set acting all important-like to get that acting gig, so here are the ten ways to act like a celebrity:

1.Rent a large mansion-like home for a week or two. It will cost mega bucks,so get ready to lay down some cash. Giving the appearance of having money, usually impresses other people into thinking you are rich, doing well, that you are a leader, and that you are a confident person. People want to hang with other people who have money.

2.To act like a celebrity you must wear expensive looking clothing. Either rent expensive clothing for a day or two, borrow from someone else, or buy the more expensive stuff at estate sales, thrift shops, or even on the Internet.

3. Get a big attitude. Talk loudly. Be boisterous. Acting like a star is not for shy minded people. You must put on an act of acting like someone you really are not. We have seen many movies where people act like a wealthy person, like a woman, or like a celebrity when in fact they are not.

4.Talk about yourself in third person like successful, rich athletes do. Kate Johns has written it all. Kate Johns wrote this piece on how to act like a star when in fact she is not.Copyright 2013!

5.Surround yourself with personal assistants who do all of your bidding. Walk around looking like you are continually looking for something while you tell your personal assistants what to do. You can also carry an iPhone around telling Suri what to do for you, "Suri, remind me to pick up dinner later on today."Copyright 2013.

6. Act like a celebrity by tweeting what you just did on Twitter. Tell your followers what exclusive parties you are hanging at, what time you got home last night, how your design business is doing.

7.Take pictures of yourself, posting them to Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and every social media outlet you can. Only post pictures of yourself posing with a large group of people, with an alcohol drink in your hand. Post pics of your new car, or could that be new cars?

8.Never, ever take pictures of yourself with a star looking like you are a fan. Then you will look like a fan and not a star. However do take pics of your famous self with stars dancing at a club. Remember you have to have several stars in this pic, and you can't look super happy, but you must have more of a smug look

9.Everywhere you go, smile, look people in the eye, say Hello, and keep smiling. It's called working the crowd. When you go out with friends, are having a business meeting, or when you are going to a networking event, keep smiling, looking confident and self assured.

10. Take pictures of yourself lounging in a lounge chair, sipping a drink, looking happy and relaxed as you soak up the sun, on a well known beach. You never know you might just be asked, "Who are you?"

Act like a celebrity by wearing big sunglasses, a big floppy hat, color your hair ultra bright blonde, or four colors at once, and walk like you have to be some place like yesterday! And you also must carry your iphone with you continually checking for messages, having people take your picture, and continually scroll on your phone while you eat a meal---in a public place.

Top ten most highly over paid American jobs by Kate Johns

2013-03-21T13:04:00.003-07:00

Here is my take at the top ten most over paid jobs in America:

1. Highly over paid actors make the job of acting in front of several cameras and a crew of numerous people, look easy.Why not Bruce Willis, Ashton Kutcher, and Demi Moore have made millions starring in movies. Ashton Kutcher is the highest paid sitcom star to date.

2. Successful rock stars---how easy is standing on a stage having adoring fans watching you act like a major poser? People love you, follow you everywhere you go and wait on your every need. How hard is it to write songs with lots of rhymes and pop tart tastes? Who wouldn't love having groupies throw themselves at you, have people tell you they love you and have them do whatever you desire?

3. Hugely successful sports athletes---REALLY!! Do we sports fans really need to pay hundreds of dollars to sit in uncomfortable seats at sports games like basketball, or football to pay highly paid hugely successful salaries of sports stars? Isn't it bad enough we have to pay 20 bucks to park our cars in a lot for three hours while paying way too much money for stale popcorn and watered down over priced beers?

4. Anything Jennifer Lopez does---Let's face it, ever since Jennifer Lopez has been on American Idol, she has been a super sought after star. She makes it look easy being Jennifer Lopez and she made Forbes list of highest paid women last year, beating out just about every other successful woman.

5. Anything Tiger Woods does. Ever since Tiger Woods became a household name denoting shame, he has been the talk of the town. Highly successful pro golfer, Tiger Woods divorced his wife Elin, still holding on to his millions, has gone on to win a few golf matches, championships, and is now dating another blonde, skier Lindsey Vonn.

6. Football quarterbacks for well known Superbowl winning teams. With football teams paying their winning quarterbacks millions per year, it kind of makes regular people like you and me, wish we could throw a ball through the air for a couple of years.

7. Vice President of the United States. Exactly what does the Vice President of the United States do? Besides making 230,700 dollars a year to act snarky, appear at state dinners and live for free in a house appointed to him, it looks like an easy gig. All you have to do is smile a lot, act like a buffoon, argue defensively in debates, and sit next to the president at major functions.

8. Being Jon Bon Jovi---At last count, Jon Bon Jovi and his band sold an astounding 130 million albums. Almost everyone young and old alike know who Bon Jovi is, have seen him perform live, and think he is a great guy. Jon Bon Jovi makes it look easy to be a rock star, doesn't answer stupid questions, because come on, he's Bon Jovi, why should he?

9. Being an ex president of the United States. Here's one you probably never thought of, being an ex president. Sitting presidents make pretty good jinge---$400,000 a year. But once a president steps down he makes even more money. Look at Bill Clinton for example. He wasn't a millionaire before he was a president. After he served his two four year terms, he became an instant millionaire.Bill Clinton is still one of the most sought after speech makers in the world. He commands hundreds of thousands per speaking gig.Copyright 2013

10. Being a famous person's kid. It doesn't suck being Mick Jagger's, Bono or Bill Clinton's kids. Chelsea Clinton recently bought an apartment in New york City for a staggering 10.5 million dollars. Chelsea doesn't even have a job. What about being born into a wealthy family like Donald Trump's kids---his three adult kids all help run Trump's businesses, with Ivanka having already been a model like her mother.

Sucks to have a highly over paid job now doesn't it?

Taylor Swift acts sweet and innocent By Kate Johns

2013-02-24T17:05:00.000-08:00

Taylor Swift is the real deal Written by Kate Johns
After watching Taylor Swift win award after award in the last few years, I decided I adore Taylor Swift. Whether Taylor is the real deal or not does not matter to me. What matters is that Taylor is one of the only young classy, role models for younger girls, and for women of all ages.

People are making fun of Taylor Swift for acting all sweet and innocent when she wins an award. But, all I have to say is, "Too bad." If Taylor Swift is indeed just acting,well get used to it people, because she is doing something not one other big name singing star is doing right now.

Taylor Swift is acting all sweet and innocent, even though she is now 23 years old. Many other stars and people are being way too hard on this young, talented girl. Does everyone need to think in such a cynical manner? Does every young female star have to show major cleavage, dye their hair in strange colors, wear meat dresses, and scare parents half to death to gain attention? There's something to be said for a star that shows respect, gratitude, talent, and motivation in today's competitive world.

The facts are indeed stunning for Taylor Swift. She started writing songs and playing guitar at the young age of 12, because she needed an outlet for her creativity. What it comes down to is Swift was bullied at school, and she was misunderstood by her peers. She was tall, skinny, pretty, and a daydreamer. She admits to writing songs in her classes when she was very young.

What she did was take her creativity to an entirely new level. At the time her mother was a stay at home mom. Swift's mom obviously believed in her daughter's dream of becoming a successful country singing sensation, because Swift's family moved from Wyomissing Pennsylvania, to Nashville Tennessee when Swift was only 14. Swift was born in 1989, and in 2003, her family picked up and moved. Then by 2006, Swift had a hit song called "Tim McGraw" on her hands; her first record sold 5.5 million copies.

By 2011, Forbes announced that Swift had amassed $35 million dollars in a small fortune.
What it comes down to is Taylor Swift may or may not be "acting" as a young, sweet innocent girl. Besides with Swift showing her true classy self, which people are cynically saying is all an act, then so be it. Swift is one of the only singing stars today acting or staying true to herself as a sweet, innocent person.

Taylor Swift shines as a courageous, talented , fearless young woman who outshines, and outsells many other talented country, and pop stars.

Kate Middleton photographed topless, causing a Royal Scandal by Kate Johns

2012-09-14T09:43:00.000-07:00

Kate Middleton goes topless for attention, and gets pregnant soon after! Written by Kate Johns

Give me a break!! Who cares, and so what? Does Kate Middleton's nakedness make any difference in our lives?
The big brouhaha, is that Kate Middleton was photographed from a distance by unseemly paparazzi that got a couple of shots of Kate lying topless outside. She was obviously trying to get suntanned. She was as sources say at "a private house."

If Kate Middleton didn't want her breasts shown in public, then HELLO, why was she lying out topless---anywhere?

ROYALS KNOW THEY ARE HOT STUFF!

Let me explain my statement, before you start arguing:

The Royals, live under a microscope. They must know this when they have photographers following them everywhere they go. Now, someone who marries into the Royal Family would probably not be a shy person. This means that she or he, would be the kind of person who loves getting attention. She or he will probably enjoy living in the limelight. Britain's Royals are under continual scrutiny, and they are continually watched.They have to know, (unless they are dimwits), that they are living life in a fishbowl. So that goes to say that Prince Harry who was photographed completely naked, having his pics sold to TMZ, for $10,000, that this will happen to all of the young good looking Royals at one time or another.
So, Kate Middleton is lying out tanning topless at a private house, with her husband in attendance.
Whoopee!! And who cares? This is France, where topless tanning, and topless beach going is what is normally done in France. Many nations of the world are more than okay with topless, or naked OUTSIDE tanning and beach going.

GETS MORE ATTENTION

Why is this such a scandal that a Royal was photographed topless anywhere?
It's old hat! Sarah Ferguson was photographed in the 1990's topless with a man, who was not her husband . They made a huge scandal out of that. Is this such a scandalous thing to have happen in 2012?
Besides, when a person marries a Royal do people really think a person like Kate Middleton is marrying him because she is so sweet, and nice, and shy? NOT! She is marrying Prince William because she wants to be in the public limelight. And sorry to say, but she is the one lying out topless at a so called private house. She can't be that shy, if she is going outside topless!
This means, Kate Middleton craves attention. She is young. She is pretty. She has a nice body. She is using what she has to gain attention. She is upping Prince Harry's body attention getting scandal and giving yet more press, (bad and good ), to the Royals. This increases their net worth, by having more people taking pics of any Royal they can. People will travel to London to see the Royals. Ultimately it is good for tourism.
Does anyone really mind, thus cancelling their afternoon tea with Kate and her Prince husband?
Seriously doubt it! The Royals will probably be invited to more events, gain more popularity, thus becoming richer,and increase sales of numerous scandal ridden rags! Copyright 2012, written by Kate Johns.

Clint Eastwood made a fool of himself at the RNC, by Kate Johns

2012-08-31T10:56:00.001-07:00

Clint Eastwood tells off President Obama

82 year old Clint Eastwood took to the stage of the RNC, to make a fool of himself. And thank God for Mr. Eastwood!
While the 82 year old actor, producer, writer and husband extraordinaire made some very valid points, he also made many Republicans feel embarrassed that they are Republicans.

It was sad, scary and embarrassing seeing an eighty two year old Academy award winning actor standing on stage completely 'winging it' in front of millions of people.
You see, in case you missed the actual moment, or you missed the overtly negative media doing what they do----not saying anything positive about Mitt Romney, Clint Eastwood talked to President Obama on stage by talking to an empty chair. He addressed the empty chair by saying things such as , "No, I don't think that Mitt Romney can do that to himself, Sir."

While, as a Republican, (I'm not afraid to admit it), I saw the hilarity in what Clint Eastwood was saying. I understood what this brilliant actor was doing. He was making a point without telling President Obama off. After all, no one in America is supposed to stand for anything anymore. We are not allowed to speak our minds anymore. And we are not allowed to say anything that will be disagreed with. So, I could see what Clint Eastwood was trying to do. But I knew other people would not get it.
Clint is an old guy now, who is not senile, but is this side of artistic, who knew exactly what he was doing! He was making jokes, and poking fun at the president. He even managed to get in a few about vice president Biden. In this age of political correctness, we are not allowed to say anything politically incorrect. Clint is an award winning A-list actor, who is obviously very artistic. Many artistic people will seem strange to non-artistic people. While it became clear that Clint needed to stop talking crazy talk to a chair, he also got his points out. He also drew the overtly serious attention away from Mitt Romney, and he did something else. Clint made a fool out of himself, but he also made a joke out of what he was doing.
If indeed he is senile, then let it be, because the man is a millionaire, an award winning actor/producer many times over, and he is still working in the film industry today.

Who is bad boy John Mayer dating now? by Kate Johns

2012-08-04T14:05:00.001-07:00

Musical artist John Mayer may only be 36 years old, but he has packed a lifetime of dating
experience into his young life. Not only has he created several hit songs, but he done something most
men only dream about, he has dated many famous women.
With John Mayer's young boyish good looks , he uses his soft voice, his sweet disposition and seduces throngs of women into buying his soulful, beautiful songs.
Mayer is not the good guy that we may all think he really is. John Mayer is a bad boy in disguise, he is a male s-l-u-t!! Mayer seduces famous women dating them for a short time, then he moves on as a shark would moving onto it's next unknowing victim.
He reminds me of another very famous, millionaire star----Leonardo De Caprio who uses his boyish
good looks, talented swagger,as he dates famous super models. Written by Kate Johns

Here is some of the dating history of the ever so talented John Mayer:

John Mayer who was born on October 16, 1977, briefly dated actress Jennifer Love Hewitt in 2002.
In 2006 he dated the now married, Jessica Simpson, for nine months.
In September of 2007, he dated actress, Minka Kelly.
Soon after he was spotted with former "Friends", star----Jennifer Aniston. They carried on with an on again off again romance. splitting up in March 2009.
John Mayer then moved on to date much younger country singer, Taylor Swift. They sang a song together in 2010, called, "Half of My Heart."
Then she wrote a song about John, called , "Dear John", which she recorded onto her , "Speak Now", album.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot this one, recently in August of 2012, Mayer was spotted with the ultra famous, former Christian rocker, Katy Perry. I wonder who is next for this bad boy who looks anything but bad, and writes beautiful songs, to attack in the dating pool?

Top ten celebrities you wouldn't want to be neighbors of by Kate Johns

2012-07-30T15:00:00.001-07:00

Top ten celebrities you don't want to live next to and why
Recently while perusing articles online, I saw a survey of what celebrities people would like to live next to. Guess who came in on the top ten; why Jennifer Aniston and her current boyfriend, that's who. written by author Kate Johns, who started writing professionally creating greeting card sayings in 2004.
That's when I started thinking of what celebrities I wouldn't want to live next to. That got me to thinking of what celebrities I wouldn't want my family being neighbors of,and I'm certain the celebrities you wouldn't want to be neighbors of either.
Here's the top ten list of celebrities you and I don't want to live next to:
1. Lady Gaga---- After hearing that her 40-year-old personal assistant is suing her for 3,000 hours of overtime, Gaga sounds like a selfish pain in the butt. Even though, she wouldn't be home much, you wouldn't want her knocking on your front door, when the Cd's stop selling, and she's a drugged out, sobbing, massive mess!
2. Madonna--Even though my husband and I will never have to worry about amassing 350 million dollars in a personal fortune, I still have to say it----Never, ever do I want to live next to Madonna. She let her oldest brother live under a bridge! Madonna also employed her one brother, and bickered with him about payments owed.
3. Kathy Lee Gifford--- The For Sale sign would go on the front lawn as soon as Frank or Kathy Lee stumbled out of an expensive vehicle. Is hate too strong a word? I despised seeing Kathy Lee on Live with Regis and Kathie Lee. The story became really old, really fast when all she talked about was Cody this and Cody that. No wonder Frank had an affair!!
4 Katy Perry---She sold out for money. Katy Perry was a Christian rocker, and when that didn't make her a millionaire, she switched to pop star. Besides, her gross ex-hubby, Russell Brand is a greasy, display of disgustingness.Thank God, they didn't have kids!
5. Kim Kardashian---Kim K. couldn't decide where she and Kris Humphries were going to live, so no thanks to living next door to her. Besides, I don't want my kids subjected to Kim Kardashian's display of selfishness!
6. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt--My husband absolutely lusts after Angelina Jolie, so that would never work out!
7. Miley Cyrus---Being Miley Cyrus's nearest neighbor would not work out for us. My husband can't sleep with any light entering the bedroom. Therefore with all those paparazzi lights, and prying cameras taking pictures of Miley Cyrus at all hours of the day and night----I just know it would never work out.being our next door neighbor.
8. Mariah Carey----living next door to Mariah Carey would not work for my family. Mariah's world centers around Mariah. When you think about it, maybe if you are male you w
9.Selena Gomez---She's young. She's gorgeous. She can sing and she can act. And my hubby lusts after Selena Gomez also. So, nope that would not work, with Selena Gomez
ould want to live next door to Miss Curvaceous. She strips her clothes off at the drop of a hat, so that might be fascinating for the opposite sex.
10. Tom Cruise--Even though Tom Cruise is near my age, and he is muscular and cute, I can't see Tom and his family living next door to my family. You see, Mr. Cruise is way over the top, and probably owns multiple way over the top residences, such as one on top of a snowy mountain, only reachable by helicopter.
Even though we regular, down to earth people, would never have to worry about any of this, we can dream for a moment, thinking of what celebrities we don't want to live next door to, such as Ozzy Osbourne, or the Queen of England. Possibly for the same reason: you can't understand anything they say! Copyright 2012, written by Kate Johns----a professional writer who has been writing up a storm since 2004!

2012-07-26T12:13:00.000-07:00

Who are the most famous women in the world? Many times the most famous women are blondes.
That's why so many millions of women dye their hair blonde every year. Because they are secretly jealous that blonde women get noticed more than other women!

6.Paris Hilton may have been born an heiress, but she made millions the old fashioned way---publicity!
7. Lindsay Lohan who is currently blonde, but that may change tomorrow. She was an extremely talented young actress, who lost it, and is making a comeback starring as a non-blonde, Elizabeth Taylor.
8. Incredibly beautiful, classy actress from the 1950' s Grace Kelly was a blonde.
9. Pamela Anderson is famous for her famous body, and guess what she is a blonde.

11. Actress Michelle Pfeiffer who starred in Scarface.
12. Britney Spears may have lost it the in the early 2,000's but she's back on top amassing more millions.

Mariah Carey added as newest judge on American Idol by Kate Johns

2012-07-24T09:31:00.000-07:00

Mariah Carey has been officially added as the newest judge to season 12, the year of 2013's judge lineup.

When American Idol added Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez to the judge panel two years ago, I thought they were just looking for the shock factor to raise sagging ratings. Well now, I am literally begging for Simon Cowel and Paula Abdul to be placed back in the A. I. judges seats.
Mariah Carey can sing---that's no doubt. But she is a DIVA through and through. I can't see her lasting more than one season!!
I can however see ten lackeys added to American Idol's workforce to do all of Mrs. Cannon's bidding.Let's face it people, Mariah has become a major pain in the butt!! She is a diva who wants it all her way.

REALLY---Mariah Carey?

They must be paying out major millions for Mariah to sit for hours on end, working for several hours a day, essentially saying, "That was great Sweetie."
Obviously American Idol is going for the throat, trying to pump up the ratings. Last season was rather ho-hum, okay boring. A. I.'s ratings went down to reflect this.
With Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler both leaving A.I. a major star had to be put on the judge's panel. With Mariah a member of Randy's stable of singers, that he produces, well who else would they get?
Perhaps more men will tune in to take a look at Mariah's large breasts, and long curvy legs. Maybe that is exactly what A. I. is looking for- to get more men tuning in to the show, instead of teenage girls looking for a new young male singer to adore!
Little did I know American Idol would top themselves in the race for ratings by forcing people to watch anything else on TV, because they brought the attention getting Ho, Nicky Minaj on for the 2013 season too!

At this point, I'd rather they bring in previous, but extremely talented American Idol singers to liven up the show such as Adam Lambert , or Kelly Pickler! Copyright 2012, written by Kate Johns, a talented writer who has been writing professionally since 2004!

Don't bother watching Tom Cruise's Rock of Ages movie, by Kate Johns

2012-06-19T09:37:00.000-07:00

Did anyone happen to catch the new Tom Cruise movie, Rock of Ages while it is still in movie theaters? Critics are calling it Flop of Ages, because it is so bad. In it's debut night, Rock only raked in 5.3 million dollars, not enough to cover Cruise's salary.

I did not slam down my hard earned money to go to see Rock of Ages in a theater, nor will I, choosing instead to wait till it reaches DVD. Which should be very shortly! From what I saw of the nine million plus ads that started about a year before its release Rock of Ages looks horrible. It looks like a rip off of just about every other rock and roll movie ever made, except for the good ones, like the comedy--"Spinal Tap."

Besides the fact that I went to about 200 concerts in the 1980's , and do not really want to see a fake imitator doing his worst to rip off what I loved back in the 1980's. Do we really need yet another 1980's music quest? Can't we kick it up a notch making movies about more recent music for people that can afford to plunk down mom and dad's money on musical movies and concerts? I'm talking teens, and tweens, here!

Rock of Ages is a musical movie of bad '80's music. Who really wants to see Tom Cruise acting like he is a rock star, really singing bad '80's songs? Who really wants to see Tom Cruise do anything but run around looking like the rock star of action adventure movies? Cruise isn't meant to stand in front of an audience singing anything. It's not his genre. It looks fake! He looks idiotic. When i saw the ads, I couldn' t help but laugh, because 48 year old Tom Cruise looks ridiculous posing as a rock star called Jaxx---a long haired rock star from the 1980's.

This is a movie I will definitely rent to watch, but not shell out major bucks to buy or watch in a pricey theater where popcorn goes for more money than they spent on Cruise's rock star makeup!!

Madonna desperately seeking attention by Kate Johns

2012-06-14T09:08:00.001-07:00

How much attention does Madonna need? Recently while on her latest, biggest tour Madonna exposed her breast on stage---in public, in Istanbul. I thought it was a desperate plea from an older woman who desperately is seeking attention.

Nope, Madonna was not seeking Susan, as in her 1980's movie, "Desperately Seeking Susan", where Madonna was typecast in a movie as a selfish, low life, homeless, vagabond. When a wealthy woman of 54 pulls down her attachable bra on stage in front of thousands, that says "I am desperate for attention!" Besides, if a regular woman of 54 walked down, let's say an average suburban street exposing one ultra white, super small breast, people would either think she's crazy, ignore her or call 911!

What it really comes down to is Madonna conceived an idea, or someone else thought of an idea to grab attention for Madonna's recent tour. Madonna---being the egocentric, millionaire that she is, probably figured she needed to top all those young singing sensations like Nicky Minaj, Katy Perry, and Lady Gaga. I'm quite certain Madonna and her dresser or promotions person brainstormed ideas of how can we get more attention in two seconds than singer M. I. A. did at the Superbowl? During Madonna's performance---no less, extending her middle finger gaining major free publicity.

Madonna did the next best thing she had a bra made with detachable bra material. So, she exposed her breast on stage in Istanbul? So, when you really come down to it, who cares?
Does Madonna's act of sheer selfishness make her a better performer? Does this mean the next female, or male star singer will have to do something even more startling to gain worldwide attention?
Does this mean Madonna will make more money from her display of nipple? From what I saw, it was all pixelized out, and I for one could not see much, except ultra white skin glimmering off a much too white star, who looks like she needs to eat a sandwich.
Yes, an ageing Madonna is desperately seeking attention, by performing her nipple-breast exposing performance.Catty as it sounds, looks like Madonna doesn't have very much in the breast department to show off in the first place!

Lucy Liu Biography---written by Kate Johns

2012-06-13T18:15:00.000-07:00

Actress Lucy Liu may seem like she leads a boring life, compared to other actors who are caught in the excessive lifestyle of partying till dawn. But her acting skills and roles are anything but boring. Lucy Liu's biography includes an array of acting roles and acting skills many actors do not have. What also is interesting is that Lucy is in her forties now, but certainly doesn't look it.

Lucy Liu was born on Dec. 2, 1968, in Queens, New York, to Chinese parents, who named her Lucy Alexis Liu.

At the University of Michigan, she majored in Chinese Language and Culture, and minored in acting, and theatre. Liu scored the lead in a school production of "Alice in Wonderland." She had initially auditioned for a smaller part for the college play, but was given the lead role. After graduating from college in 1990, Liu moved to Los Angeles to pursue her ambition of acting.

While working a series of jobs in the food service industry, she scored an appearance on the highly rated teen soap "Beverly Hills 90210." She received a series of small parts for the next couple of years, continuing to work hard. Liu lit up the big screen with her role as the ex-girlfriend in her first movie performance in "Jerry Maguire."

In 1996, she hit the small screen with a passionate kiss with Calista Flockhart on the TV show "Ally Mc Beal." Liu played the ill-tempered but hot lawyer, Ling Woo, on "Ally McBeal," staying on the show until 2002.

In 1999, she appeared in five movies including "True Crime," and "Payback," playing a dominatrix with Mel Gibson. In 2000, she starred as a princess who is kidnapped in "Shanghai Noon."

Her biggest break came playing an angel in the movie, "Charlie's Angels" in 2000, acting alongside Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz. Liu starred in several more movies, such as "Hotel" in 2001, and "Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever" in 2002, that were not as popular as the "Charlie's Angels" movie series.She rebounded with "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle" and "Kill Bill" in 2003.

Liu knows six languages, and at one time worked as an aerobics instructor.
Her mother is a biochemist.
She was mentioned in the song "Hey Ya" by the Outkasts in 2003.

Liu practices martial arts, skis, rides horses and rock climbs to stay in shape, and to keep life interesting. That could be why we don't hear anything incredible about Lucy Liu, because she is too busy to get in trouble!

Steven Tyler's daughter:Liv Tyler's biography, Written by Kate Johns

2012-06-13T12:26:00.000-07:00

Steven Tyler had a baby girl back in the 1970's, but didn't know it until his famous daughter Liv Tyler noticed how much she looked like her mother's 'friend.' That's when he found out his daughter Liv Tyler was born on July 1, 1977, in New York City. Her mother, Bebe Buell, was a rock groupie at the time, and her father, Steven Tyler, was the lead singer for rock band Aerosmith.

Buell and Tyler had a short relationship due to his excessive rock star partying, groupie-loving ways.
Tyler grew up thinking singer Todd Rundgren was her real father because Buell asked him to be Liv's Daddy.When Tyler met her real dad, in 1988, she knew he was her father. She saw the resemblance and she thought his daughter Mia looked like her twin.

Even though Tyler had been given Todd Rundgren's last name and he was playing father to her at 12, Tyler took her real dad's name.At 12, she went from being an only child to having two fathers and a new sister, Mia Tyler.

At 14 Tyler and Buell left Portland, Maine, to get Tyler on the fast track of modeling. By 15, she decided to not go the modeling route as her mother did, and decided on a career in acting.After just one reading, Tyler was cast as Callie in her first movie, "Heavy."Acting obviously was the right choice, because just three weeks after getting the part of Callie, she was asked to star in the movie "Silent Fall" in 1994.

In 1996, Tyler starred as the beautiful innocent girl in "Stealing Beauty." In 1998, she starred in "Armaggedon" as Bruce Willis's daughter. In 2008, Tyler starred in "The Incredible Hulk" as Betty Ross, assistant to the Hulk.

Tyler's mother named her after actress Liv Ullman. Bebe was a model and a Playboy Playmate of the month.Tyler's half sister, Mia Tyler, is a plus-size model for Lane Bryant.

She is best friends with actress Kate Hudson.

Tyler starred with actress Alicia Silverstone in Aerosmith's video "Crazy."

The movie "Armageddon" opened on her 21st birthday.

Tyler dated Joaquin Phoenix from1996 to 1998.

Tyler married British rocker Royston Langdon in 2003. This was after he called Tyler's rock star dad, Steven, and asked for her hand in marriage. In 2004, the pair had a baby, Milo Williams.

In 2008, Tyler and her husband called it splitsville, but remain friends and devoted parents to Milo.Copyright 2013, written by talented freelance writer Kate Johns, who started her writing career creating greeting card sayings in 2004.

Black Eyed Peas female singer; Fergie, or Stacey Ann Ferguson, Written by Kate Johns

2012-06-12T11:45:00.003-07:00

Fergie is more than just eye candy for the Black Eyed Peas. She is a talented star, whose light shines so brightly, you can feel her glow cast onto all in her path.

The Black Eyed Peas only female singer, Stacey Ann Ferguson was born on March 27, 1975 in California. Fergie has become a major force to reckon with becoming an award winning singer, a talented actress and a sexy dancer. Fergie is very much like Jennifer Lopez, because she is a beautiful multi talented woman, but she is younger, and has only been married once.

Stacey Ann Ferguson started her singing, dancing career when she was just nine years old, in 1984, on the Disney show, Kids Incorporated. In 1996, Fergie formed her first band called Wild Orchid, but did not make it big until the 21 Century.
Something you might not know about Fergie is that she is a secret cougar; Fergie, dated Justin Timberlake, when he was only 16 and she was 23. Fergie admits the age difference was too much, and also said she dated him before he dated Britney Spears.

In 2001, Fergie developed a major drug problem. She became addicted to methamphetamine, dropping to a scrawny 90 pounds. When she realized what a mess she had become, she dropped meth like the bad habit it was, and did it without help, as in cold turkey.

Also in 2001, Fergie asked Black Eyed Peas band hit maker will.i.am to work on her solo album. Instead he asked her to sing on a Black Eyed Peas record, becoming the only female member of the Black Eyed Peas, and also scoring huge with the dance crowd.

In 2003, BEP released "Elephunk," with "Let's Get It Started," which shot the record into the stratosphere, becoming three times platinum.

With her professional life doing extremely well, Fergie met her future husband, Josh Duhamel, on his TV show, " Las Vegas." They became a big item the next year, as Fergie's hit making success climbed even higher.

In 2005, the next BEP album, "Monkey Business", sold over four million copies, and scored four Grammy nominations, with Fergie singing the sexy hit, "My Humps."

2006, was a HUGE year for Fergie as she released her first solo album, "The Duchess," with chart busting hits, "London Bridge, " and "Fergilicious." Selling 2.4 million copies, The Duchess went straight to number one on the pop charts. Also in 2006, Stacey Ann Ferguson starred as a hitchhiker in the gory movie, "Grindhouse."

In 2008 Fergie starred in the theatrical movie, "Nine." In 2009, Stacey Ann Ferguson married Las Vegas TV star Josh Duhamel. The Black Eyed peas scored big at the Grammy's by winning three Grammy awards in 2010.

With all of Fergie's incredible talent, including her strong work ethic, the world is waiting to see what she has in the works for the future on the pop charts, and in movies. Possibly more endorsements from big name clients, another solo record, and maybe even future babies.

The Big Bang Theory's Sheldon Cooper or Jim Parson's BIO!! by Kate Johns

2012-06-07T17:41:00.000-07:00

Would you know the name of this next celebrity if I just gave you his real life name or if I told you the show he stars on? Jim Parsons is his real name. Sheldon Cooper is the character he so eloquently plays that almost everyone in America recognizes his character's name of Sheldon Cooper, or as Sheldon would say, "That's Doctor Cooper." Copyright(c) 2012!

The Big Bang Theory TV show is perhaps the best comedy TV show on TV right now, centering around the five main characters of Penny, Sheldon, Leonard, Rajesh, and Howard. What makes the show standout is the main character of Sheldon Cooper who has no social skills, has a huge ego concerning his knowledge of physics, and how he lets everyone within earshot know just how smart he is.
But if I said, "Jim Parsons is so funny." Chances are you wouldn't know who I was talking about, because Parsons has made Sheldon seem like he is a real person who just happens to be a genius, who is so geeky he never learned any social skills.

Jim Parsons was born on March 24, 1973, and was raised in Houston, Texas. He is the older of two kids, and is an unbelievable 41 years old. Just looking at Parsons, you would think he is in his late 20's or early 30's like his TV character, but you'd be wrong!

After graduating from high school in 1991, he earned an undergraduate degree from the University of Houston in theater. During college, and after, Parsons appeared in 17 plays, but never got that big break he so desired.
Not giving up, he enrolled in 1999, in graduate school at the University of San Diego.
From there, he went to New York City and starred in several off Broadway productions. He starred in a Quiznos commercial as the controversial man raised by wolves.

He had a recurring role in the TV show, "Judging Amy," but did not acquire a regular acting gig until much later when he auditioned for Dr. Sheldon Cooper for The Big Bang Theory.

The show's creator, Chuck Lorre, was stunned by Parson's performance, and asked him to audition a second time to see if he could recreate the oddities that make Sheldon seem like he is the real geeky, super smart, intensely weird, selfish, socially inept Sheldon that we all love.
Five years later Sheldon is alive and well on The Big Bang Theory, as is Jim Parsons the comic genius who has won several awards for his genuinely hilarious portrayal of Sheldon.
In 2011 Parsons won a Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Television Series.

Parsons has lived with his partner for ten years. What one website thought might be dropping a bomb was the announcement recently that Parsons is gay. But the real bomb was how young the 39 year old Parsons looks, and acts on The Big Bang Theory.Copyright(c) 2012!

Did Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth get engaged just for the publicity? by Kate Johns

2012-06-07T10:36:00.000-07:00

Did Miley Cyrus get engaged as a publicity stunt? In June of 2012, Miley Cyrus became engaged to actor Liam Hemsworth. Liam gave Miley a 3.5 carat ring. The pair has been seeing each other since 2009, when he co-starred in her movie, "The Last Song."He is from Australia, came to America in 2009 and was dropped or passed over for several movie productions until scoring his first big movie role with Miley.

What gets me thinking this is just a publicity stunt for the couple are these facts:

1. Miley Cyrus has not been heard from, that I know of, since she walked away from her Hannah Montana Disney TV show.
2. It's great publicity for both stars in this case---Miley is making a new album, and Liam is making several movies.
3. Marriage doesn't last long for Hollywood types.written by Kate Johns
4. Miley is only 19, he is 22---kind of young to get married.
5. Miley needs the publicity, because nothing major has happened for the young millionaire for several years.
6. Past history has me thinking this is just a publicity stunt---like when Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries got engaged complete with a 20.5 carat ring, and a 72 day long wedding.
7. Call me cyncial, but it's the way I feel about this.
8. Did anyone really know who Liam Hemsworth was until this announcement was made?

Currently Miley and Liam are busy working on individual projects, with Miley making a new album, and Liam starring in "Empire State", "Paranoia", and appearing as Gale in the upcoming Hunger games flick----"Catching Fire."
The happy couple met and fell in love during Miley's hit movie, "The Last Song", back in 2009. He also starred in one of her music videos for a song called, "When I look at You."Copyright 2012, written by talented writer Kate Johns who has been writing professionally since 2004!

Mick Jagger BIO by Kate Johns

2012-05-24T09:29:00.002-07:00

This awesome article was written by talented writer Kate Johns. You are not allowed to use any of this article without Kate Johns permission. Otherwise you owe me 100 bucks!!
Famous lead singer for the Rolling Stones, Mick Jagger, may be 69, but still moves on stage like a twenty year old, still has a sharp wit and obviously still loves life to the umpteenth degree. After seeing just how incredibly funny he was on Saturday Night Live's season closer, I knew I had to write a bio for my Millionaire Celebrity blog about Mick Jagger.
After looking up his bio information on other websites, I knew I was in trouble, many of his bios were so long they might as well be called books.So here is the shortened version of Mick Jagger's life:

Mick Jagger was born in England on July 26, 1943. His real name is Michael Philip 'Mick' Jagger. He met Keith Richards when he was four years old in elementary school. The two went to the same school until graduation, not realizing their shared loved of music until....
In 1960 the pair met on the same train and started talking about music. Soon after, they formed a band, calling it The Rolling Stones. Mick and Keith auditioned the now infamous other members of the original lineup Bill Wyman on bass, Charlie Watts on drums, Brian Jones on guitar, with Richards on rhythm guitar, and Mick on lead vocals.After Brian Jones committed suicide in 1969, Ron Wood became The Stones new, ever present guitar player.

In 1964, The Stones released their first album called The Rolling Stones. In 1965 they had their first hit with, "This Will be The Last Time." Soon after The Stones scored hit after hit and were a nastier, cooler version of The British invasion, the not so nice guys, like the Beatles were at the time. Mick had a total of nine number one U. S. singles with The Stones.
Mick's relationship status is----always has a girlfriend.

He has been married twice---to Jerry Hall from 1990 to 1999, and to Bianca Jagger from 1971 to 1979. Mick has fathered seven children with six of his wives and girlfriends. With supermodel Jerry Hall he had four kids, and with model Bianca he had one child. He had a famous affair with Angie Bowie, who was still married to David Bowie at the time, in the 1960's, whom he wrote his now seriously famous song, "Angie".

Currently, hitmaker Jagger is worth an estimated 215 million dollars, but it has been speculated that he is worth more than 300 million.
Jagger sang backup on Carly Simon's famous song, "You're so Vain." Although, I'm not believing that one, because you can't hear his voice at all!
Jagger appeared on Rolling Stone magazine's cover for a whopping total of 20 times.

Mick Jagger helped write many songs for the Rolling Stones that became as famous as the band's image of sex, drugs and rock and roll. Some of them were: I Can't Get No Satisfaction, Let's Spend The Night Together, Paint It Black, Wild Horses, Angie, It's Only Rock and Roll, Ruby Tuesday, Brown Sugar.
Mick Jagger split from the Stones in the 1980's and performed with Tina Turner at Live Aid in 1985.
Jagger was knighted by Prince Charles in 2003.

Mick Jagger has enjoyed a long, illustrious career as the sexy, charismatic, energetic lead singer for The Rolling Stones for as long as I've been alive, for 48 years now.copyright 2012

Miley Cyrus is dressing Slutty by Kate Johns

2012-05-21T09:40:00.000-07:00

Seems Miley Cyrus has completely lost her mind, marbles, any sense of taste, decorum, whatever you want to call it. She is desperately seeking attention by dressing all slutty.
Recently Miley Cyrus appeared at the Billboard Awards without any pants on. She was wearing a long white jacket, revealing plenty of cleavage. But she had no pants on. Simply put---this no pants look, looked so very wrong on Miley on so many levels. She is only 19. She is not a 45 year old actress, who has the body of Pamela Anderson. Miley is too young, and too skinny to pull this look off.

She basically looked slutty, not smart and sensible. Miley also looked like she was trying to get attention any way she could. Her hair was hacked off, making her look wat too old for her age.

I completely understand Miley is trying to move away from her more innocent child star image. But, give me a break! Does that mean she has to appear naked in public to grab attention? She is already a millionaire many times over. She was at one time adored by young children and had millions of pre-teens buying her line of clothing, accessories, lunch boxes, pillows, etc. But, if Miley wants to show how grown up she is, it is time to put down the crack pipe, and get real!
Miley needs to move forward in a more mature manner by making movies for young adults, not for 40 year old housewives. She needs to sing songs meant for an older audience.
Really when you think about it, when she quit her show, it seemed that Disney wanted to keep her show going until the end of time. Maybe Miley was bored beyond belief doing the show, but she should have stuck with it for a few more years, as her core audience grew older along with her.

Queen of Disco, Donna Summer dies of cancer by Kate Johns

2012-05-17T18:14:00.001-07:00

The Queen of Disco died on May 17, 2012, when Donna Summer, succumbed to a battle with cancer. Summer died at her Key West Florida home, after waging a private battle with lung cancer. As of this writing different sources are telling different stories, such as Donna Summer had lung cancer, she had an unknown cancer and another source also stated that summer herself said she contracted lung cancer after breathing in the heavily polluted air right after 911 occurred, in New York City.

At this point, all we really do know is that Summer and her family wanted to keep her battle with cancer quiet so that she could live out her remaining days in peace, not being bothered by the media. We really do not know exactly what kind of cancer it was, and if she had battled it for a long time.

Donna Summer was 63 when she died, having been born on December 31, 1948. Her real name was La Donna Adrian Gaines, creating the name Donna Summer for herself later on when she started her music career. Summer sang backup for other bands, including Three Dog Night and in 1975 wrote the sultry song herself, "Love to Love You Baby" which became her first top ten hit. Love to love You Baby was released as a single, striking number two on the Billboard charts in 1976. Love to Love You Baby also was released as a 17 minute long single, which gained major popularity in discos across the world in the 1970's.

Summer had 11 top ten hits altogether, winning five Grammy Awards. Donna Summer was still performing her hit disco songs into the 2,000's, which included; "I Feel Love" "She Works Hard For The Money" and "Bad Girls."

Jennifer Lopez leaving American Idol by Kate Johns

2012-05-17T07:37:00.000-07:00

The big news is that Jennifer Lopez may be leaving American Idol. Sources close to A. I. say they adore her. Me personally I could care less, but I also am seriously jealous that she makes millions to sit there saying; "Oh Sweetie, I'm so sorry." If you paid me 20 million dollars to sit there looking all awesome, with beautiful see through clothing on, I'd say anything you wanted me to.

This is another what came first the chicken or the egg moment.Why? Because Jennifer Lopez says she is just too busy to do American Idol next year. What I'm seeing is she is turning her back on the highly rated TV show that helped relaunch her career.

Here is the explanation:

Before J. Lo appeared on A.I. her career was lagging. Now that she has been on A. I. for two seasons she has made 65 million dollars in one year. According to Forbes magazine's most powerful celebrity list, Jennifer Lopez gained the top earning spot with her mega millions.

J. Lo will be turning her back on A. I. , when American Idol helped her breathe life back into her lackluster career. She was not slated for any new movies, records, colognes, or anything that we know of until she started on American Idol. Appearing on A. I. she has been given a new chance at high earnings, (First year with A. I. she was paid 12 million, second year 20 million) because American Idol has been promoting the show like crazy and her marketing team has obviously been working with A. I. to promote J. Lo.
She is appearing in a new movie called, "What to Expect When You're Expecting."
J. Lo has a new record out and will be touring and promoting it this summer and this fall. She has yet another new cologne out, a new clothing line with Kohl's and has been appearing in car ads, shown on American Idol. She has also been dancing on American Idol----in 2011 with her then husband Marc Anthony. She recently sang and danced on A. I. for her newest release from her new record.

Yes, J. Lo is super busy making mega millions, but without American Idol her career relaunch would not have happened.

Linda Hogan breaks up with much younger boyfriend. by Kate Johns

2012-05-16T11:51:00.000-07:00

Is it just me or what? I've been sort of following celebrities and their doings, goings on , but I am not a hardcore fanatic, that started a fan page/blog about just one celebrity such as Kim Kardashian or whoever. I don't subscribe to ten celeb magazines; pouring over what new thing they did. In other words, I really could care less, but due to my nosy nature, I have to know what is going on. When I saw that Linda Hogan had dumped her much younger boyfriend, Charley Hill, let's say I wasn't shocked. Written by Kate Johns

Here's where we get to the is it just me part----did anyone else think this relationship was not going to last? Does anyone else think that Linda Hogan looks like she is about 60, and not the 52 we have been told? And also did anyone think Linda was just using Charley Hill to get back at Hulk Hogan?(Her former wrestling -star husband, who had their own reality TV show called, "Hogan Knows Best.")

I really thought she was about 60. That's why when I heard about this relationship between Linda Hogan and her super young boyfriend, I was truly grossed out, that a woman of sixty was dating a man/ young adult of 23. I was also seriously grossed out, after finding out that Hulk Hogan was having an affair with his daughter's friend, who looked just like his daughter, Brooke.

So is it just me, or are you also grossed out by these millionaire people acting like two years olds in the public arena of life?
By the way if you still want to see the gross public display of immaturity you can still catch VH1's "Couples Therapy", and eventual reruns of the show. Copyright 2012, written by Kate Johns a talented freelance writer who started writing professionally in 2004.

Ellen DeGeneres Bio by Kate Johns

2012-05-15T11:39:00.002-07:00

Ellen DeGeneres is a superstar in her own right, doing it her way just like Frank Sinatra sang in his song, "I did it my way." many years ago. Ellen is a strong person, with a strong but very likeable personality, who has worked hard to become a superstar millionaire celebrity.

Ellen DeGeneres was born on January 26, 1958 in Metairia, Lousiana. After graduating from high school in 1976, Ellen went to college for one year for communications. She dropped out to find herself working menial jobs of secretary and as a salesclerk at J. C. Penny's. Soon she started performing stand up comedy at numerous comedy clubs earning her chops, and developing her signature style; laid back, noticing the little things in life, and making them funny.

She scored a TV show of her own called ,"These Friends of Mine," in the early 1990's. The show was later renamed , " The Ellen Show,"in 1994. Ellen came out as a lesbian on her show, in 1997 after hinting at being gay and kidding around with the subject on the show. Ellen starred in another TV show centered around herself that lasted for one season--from 2001 to 2002.

In 2003, Ellen began her hugely successful "Ellen" TV talk show, which at first was not hugely successful. After revamping the show, and moving 'Ellen' to different time slots, the show became a huge hit with Ellen's trademark "bad dancing."
In 2012 "Ellen" won 12 Emmy's.
Weird that Ellen became famous for hosting many awards shows such as The Grammy's in '96 and '97, and The Emmy's in 2001 and 2005, and then she won many Emmy's for her humorous, uplifting TV talk show.
Ellen's main trademark is to wear black pants, and dark colors, but she will occasionally wear white pants, or possibly a long dress.
Ellen was in a three year long relationship with actress Anne Heche, who became well known more for her strabge behavior, rather than for her acting skills.
Ellen DeGeneres starred in a movie called, "Mr. Wrong," and was the voice of the short term memory loss character, Dory, in "Finding Nemo", in 2003.

Even though Ellen is a successful millionaire celebrity, she certainly does not act like it, as we will never see Ellen partying with her 'peeps' at a nightclub like so many other stars,such as Lindsay Lohan. Ellen is more the laid back type who would rather stay at home with her wife, Portia de Rossi, whom she married in 2008.

Dick Clark remembered for his classic style by Kate Johns

2012-04-26T11:05:00.002-07:00

Dick Clark was a true icon of the 20th Century!

Dick Clark was a truly classic, stylish, famous millionaire celebrity. He was not the type of guy that you would see hawking a new book, or trashing other celebrities. Dick Clark had class. Dick Clark was the man.
That's they way I will always remember Dick Clark as a truly classic, stylish kind of guy who had great spirit and determination.

Dick Clark, was called, "America's oldest teenager", because he was the host of American Bandstand for thirty years, and he looked the same age for many years. That is until he had a stroke in December of 2004. At first Clark wanted everyone to think he only had a mild stroke, but it became apparent after Clark could not appear on his Rocking New Year's Eve show that same year, that he did not have a mild stoke. Clark admitted later on that he had to learn how to do the simplest things again, like walking, talking, and doing what everyone else takes for granted everyday.

I remember watching Dick Clark's American Bandstand show when I was an impressionable young teenager. But once college started and MTV came along, I was too busy and engrossed with life to watch it anymore. I loved watching American Bandstand. The show served as awesome glimpse into the pop music of that era.
It was fun to watch the show with America's oldest teenager interviewing Madonna, Michael Jackson, Rick James, and many other notable hit making stars from the 1960's,70's and the 1980's. Dick Clark seemed very comfortable talking to pop stars of the day, asking them various questions like asking Madonna what she wanted to do with her life. Her answer was something of a shock as she stated, "I want to rule the world."
I loved watching American Bandstand when Dick Clark would interview teens and young adults asking them to rate songs and give a short review of them. The answers were awesome when kids answered with, "I give it an eight Dick, because it had a good beat, and I could dance to it."
I watched American Bandstand faithfully every Saturday until I grew up, becoming too old to sit and watch the show. You know that job thing got in the way, I guess.

When Dick Clark announced on his New Year's Eve Rocking show that he had a stroke I was grossed out. I said things like, "How could he go on TV like that?" But after having a stroke in 2009, I realized how incredibly brave he was to do that and what a truly great man Dick Clark was. He didn't seem to care if he was gorgeous enough to go on TV, he just did it.
And that my friends is what made Dick Clark a truly classy, down to earth, regular kind of guy! Copyright 2012, written by talented freelance writer Kate Johns.
