ROBERT DOWNEY JR.

ROBERT DOWNEY JR.


A world renowned actor who’s been in the film and tv industry since five years old, Robert Downey Jr. is one of the A-listers in Hollywood. He sure has transcended and hurdled over the winding roads and stress of Holllywood.

Robert has been married to Deborah Falconer with whom he lived with from May 1992 until the year 2004. He has one son to Deborah who is now a teenager. Presently, he is married to Susan Downey. They have a three-month old child to which he’s been proud to and shared some photos during his interview at the Tonight Show.

The actor is known for its trade marks in his acting being sarcastic in his humors while remaining stone-faced. He also his known for his distinct drawling voice and most of his acts are the portrayal of intelligent but eccentric characters. These distinct characters made me look at him more than the other characters in the movie The Avengers. The kind of actor that he is what I certainly would love to see in the movies. It’s worth an admiration for any actor who can deliver a humor at the right timing, at the right pace and with the right expression. His explicit style of handling his character in his previous movies made me salute him more and more.

Other than his latest box office movie The Avengers, Robert Downey Jr. has starred in other major films that had took a toll in the box office. Included in his list of achievements as an actor,is Sherlock Holmes which was aired on 2009. This specific movie made him earn a Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture. We all know his portrayal of the instalments of Iron Man which was first aired on 2008. In the Summer of 2010, Downey again played as Tony Stark/Iron Man. Iron Man 2 like its previous installment did a huge success alongside Gwyneth Paltrow, Scarlett Johansson, Samuel L. Jackson and Mickey Route. The latest movie, The Avengers, has accented more of his character being the one who bravely defended the earth.

The brilliant actor will again be on the big screen for his upcoming film and installation of Iron Man, which is Iron Man 3. Reports say that there are changes and additional characters fans which the fans will surely anticipate. Tony Stark, although he already have his apple of the eye will have another lady in the form of the actress Jessica Chastain. Talks have been done for her to be casted on the said movie. Her character was reportedly to be the one who’ll challenge Tony Stark, of which she will be a sexy scientist. There are also reports that there will be additional five more additional characters in the movie that will kick off on May 3, 2013.

Fans of Robert Downey Jr. would definitely anticipate for his next appearance in the big screen. After I’ve seen him in the movies he’s been famed for, I too became an instant fan and I’m eagerly anticipating for his next projects!

Miley Cyrus

MILEY CYRUS

We all love our teenage Disney princesses. I grew up listening to Britney Spears’ “Sometimes” and dancing to Christina Aguilera’s “Genie in the Bottle.” That is not to mention the gazillions of pictures I had to cut just to make my personalized notebooks and posters at home. Like fairy tales coming to their ends, however, not one of the princesses remains as such. Eventually, they would let go of their squeaky clean images, be emancipated and take entirely different paths in their careers. Our most recent Disney princess, Miley Cyrus, is no exception this trend.

Miley Cyrus was born, “Destiiny Hope Cyrus.” Her first name was derived from her supposed nickname, “Smiley” which was shortened,hence, her screen name. Her father is country singer, Billy Ray Cyrus who popularized the 90s hit, Achy Breaky Heart.

Miley got fascinated with singing, acting and the idea of entering show business at a very early age. This could be credited to her immediate environment as she grew up with her country superstar dad while he was working. Younger, she would be sent to have singing and acting lessons. Her parents were said to have been very supportive of her desire to enter the business.

Miley auditioned and got the lead role in the hit Disney television series, “Hannah Montana” which aired sometime in 2006.In this series, Miley played the role of a regular teenager who lived a double life as a teen pop superstar. Here, Miley had to portray a typical adolescent who had to struggle over common teenage concerns in friendship, attraction to the opposite sex and adolescence in general, while keeping her “big” secret from the rest of her immediate community. Miley was joined by her dad in this series.

The reception of Hannah Montana was tremendous. The show became a household name and Miley Cyrus was instantly catapulted into a teenage icon and sensation. The show’s theme song, “The Best of Both Worlds”, as well as the other tracks in the album that came along with the series, became worldwide hits. The teenage market was obsessed with everything Miley and everything Hannah Montana. Miley and Hannah Montana became phenomena. This further led to the transition of the series as films, first in the 3D Concert film, “Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert” in 2008 and “Hannah Montana: The Movie” in 2009. The latter’s soundtrack, “The Climb” which Miley herself sang, earned commercial success. Ultimately, these projects showcased Miley’s acting skills, charming personality and singing prowess.

Miley then lent her voice to give life to a character in the big screen in the animated film, “Bolt” in 2008. She dubbed Penny, the owner of the lead character, Bolt, who, like Hannah Montana, played a dual role of being a loyal dog and a superhero. The film did well in the box office and Miley got positive feedbacks for her performance.

Miley put an end to her character as Hannah Montana when she portrayed the role of “Ronnie” in the film adaptation of Nicholas Sparks’ “The Last Song” in 2010. Here, Miley played a disobedient seventeen-year-old who was forced to spend her summer with her alienated father. While the movie did receive critical feedbacks, it was at least a breather for Miley whose career almost seemed inseparable from Hannah Montana. From this point on, Miley became her own independent brand. She also released her studio album, “Can’t be Tamed” which according to reviews, is worlds-apart from her squeaky clean character in her not so long ago past.

With Miley’s stardom came the invasion of her private life and ruining of family values. Her love affair with fellow Disney teen superstar, the Jonas Brothers’ vocalist and guitarist, Nick Jonas, became a public love event most of the time. Her eventual romantic involvement with Liam Hemsworth who was her love interest in one of her films was also placed under the public eye. When Miley posed for a certain mature magazine, parents cringed and gave immense negative feedbacks against her. And finally, immediately after Miley turned 18 years old, her video showing her “smoking” leaked. Billy, in an interview, blames “Hannah Montana” for ruining his family ties and for exposing Miley to bad influences.

It’s always good to see princesses be transformed into modern-day women. As for Miley, we could only wish for better films and innovative music from her. We also could also hope that she take educated and neat decisions in the future.

KIM KARDASHIAN

KIM KARDASHIAN

Well, the Kardashians always have that certain seat in the entertainment industry. Many are pissed off why these chicks get some media attention and have them write about them. Amongst the three sisters and one brother aside from the two other sisters from Mr. Jenner, Kim Kardashian has the most publicity. Whenever I scroll over yahoo news, I always see news regarding Kim. Why is this so?

1.      Is she a singer? No, definitely not! She tried recording a song (which I saw in their reality tv show), and it was sort of not okay.

2.      Is she an actress? So far, haven’t heard Kim is into acting. So, that doesn’t qualify her as an actress.

3.      Is she a politician? In one of the episodes of her tv show, she told her sister Khloe she plans to run for Mayor in 5 years. So, she’s not a politician, an aspiring politician perhaps.

She’s not a singer, not an actress and definitely not a politician, what makes her famous then? That too kept me bugging. She’s a Reality TV Star that’s a sure thing. Perhaps her fame is garnered not only in her reality tv show which has an average of three million viewers on its sixth season but also of the media who kept making simple stories about her seem big and the people who dislike Kim or any Kardashian be seen in the news. It’s sort of funny reading the comments of the people who complains about Kim being in the news and yet actually reading the news about her.

I watched for some time their reality show where the viewers get to check their everyday lives and nothing so special about it. I’ve seen her mom manipulating their lives, wanting Kourtney to get married, her mom officiating a wedding and stuff – still nothing special.

Of all the Kardashians, Kim is the prettiest that probably got her more media attention than any of her sisters. A survey was once made asking what a perfect woman looks like, after combining distinct characters of beautiful celebrities like Angelie Jolie, and guess what the perfect woman looks like – Kim! She also has the nicer figure amongst them. Her love life as well was a whirl wind with her marrying Kris Humphries in a star-studded and televised marriage and then suddenly a divorce after a 72-day marriage. Actually, the divorce is yet in progress since Kris Humphries is delaying the divorce process saying that he wants annulment rather divorce because their marriage was a fraud.

Months after Kim reportedly filed a divorce; she was seen going out with Kanye West. Reports told that Kim actually was one of the reasons why Kanye and his former girlfriend separated because Kanye was secretly in love with Kim. This week, sister Kourtney just gave a hint regarding the status of the Kim and Kanye love affair, stating it is what you see it is.

Do I seem like that I am among the millions of viewers who keep up with the Kardashians? Nah, I just love entertainment news, and Kim happens to be the news so I have no choice but to keep up with her.

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE

What do you do when you see a great looking lad, who knows how to sing his tunesand work hisubersexy back? Well, you patronize him! And that’s exactly what millions of fans did with Justin Timberlake over the years. 

Justin Timberlake is born “Justin Randall Timberlake” in 1981. It has been said that he was interested in performing, more particularly in singing on stage, and was eager to enter show business at a very early age. In fact, at age 11, Justin competed in a singing competition on television entitled, “Star Search” where he sang Alan Jackson's "Love's got ahold on you". While he lost in the said competition, he didn’t lose his hope of making it to the entertainment business.

A year after his failed attempt at the said singing competition, the entertainment gates opened for Justin when hejoined the cast ofDisney Channel'snew television show, “The New Mickey Mouse Club” in 1993. Along with him on this show were future singer and tourmate Christina Aguilera, future pop superstar and future girlfriend Britney Spears, future band mate JC Chasez and future big screen lead actor Ryan Gosling. The show was a revival of the long running 1950s show, “The Mickey Mouse Club.” In this show, Justin and other cast members would entertain audience members in habitual creative segmentstotalling to a variety show for kids. The show also featured the popular “Mouseketeer Roll Call” where the cast would introduce themselves one by oneusing their real name. The delightful Justin was noted in this show and so were his good humor, youthful energy, irresistible charm, and extraordinary talent. The show, however, only lasted for two years.

After his stint as a mousketeer, Justin joined the all male pop band, N’SYNC in 1995. Along with him in the band were former fellow mouseketeer, JC Chasez, Chris Kirkpatrick, Joey Fatone, and Lance Bass. The band enjoyed humongous global success. This catapulted Justin’s popularity more than those of his band mates, him being the band’s leader, main vocalist and main dancer. The band popularized chart topping songs and their second album, “No Strings Attached” achieved worldwide success, selling record-breaking copies in just a few days. They also performed sold-out concerts and sang with music legends including Elton John, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Celine Dion and many more. In 2002, the band announced its intent to take a break. However, the band never made any record after that. But instead of being a hindrance to Justin’s career, the band’s break up paved the way for Justin to seal his mark in Hollywood as an A-lister. 

Justin then went on to make his own record. In 2002, months after NSYNC took a break, Justin released his “Justified” album. The sale of this album gradually earned success. Years after that, he continued to collaborate with different artists such as the Black Eyed Peas in the song, “Where is the Love?” He also appeared in different films, including “Alpha Dog”, “Black Snake Moan”, and “Southland Tales.” He also lent his voice to the character of Prince Artie Pendragon in “Shrek: The Third”. 

In 2006, Justin released his second album, “Future Sex/ Love Sounds”. This earned better success compared to his first album. The album’s lead single, “Sexy Back” debuted on top of the charts and broke records. Justin immediately embarked on a US tour after the album’s release. In the same year, he also collaborated with Madonna in the single,”4 Minutes”.  In 2008, Justin was awarded with two Grammy awards.

Justin ceased to record songs and make albums after that. His acting work, however, has drastically increased.  In 2010, Justin appeared in the drama film, “The Social Network” where his performance gained positive reviews. In this movie, he played the role of Sean Parker, the founder of Napster where he, together with the other members of the cast depicted how the social network, Facebook came to exist. 

In 2011, Justin appeared with Cameron Diaz in the comedy film, “Bad Teacher.” Here, Justin plays the character of Scott Delacorte, a wealthy substitute teacher in the fictional John Adams Middle School.Elizabeth Halsey, played by Cameron Diaz, tried to win him over after being dumped by her ex-fiance who learned that she was merely after his money. The movie earned well in the box office but it gained mix reviews, performance-wise. This did little to reinforce what Justin already established in his previous film.

In the same year, Justin appeared in the romantic comedy film, “Friends with Benefits.” Here, Justin plays the character of Dylan, an art director for a small internet company in Los Angeles. The movie earned really well in the box office. This time, however, the movie got positive reviews from critics and Justin’s reputation as an actor has intensified. 

Justin has indeed undergone a significant transition in his career. While doing really well as a movie actor, we could only wish that he make more music records. After all, he was a singer first before being an actor.

JENNIFER LOPEZ

JENNIFER LOPEZ

She topped many hit charts and billboards, she’s a great actress, a businesswoman, a mother of twins – she’s one of the prettiest faces in Hollywood – she’s J.Lo or Jennifer Lopez. Her songs were one of my favorites and hearing them again would make me reminisce my high school days.

Why do I like her? Well, I like her songs that’s for sure. Amongst those include Love Don’t Cost a Thing, Aint it Funny not the remix, I’m Real, Play, Let’s Get Loud.  I’ve seen her movies as well. She’s also one of the best dressed celebrities; I guess whatever she wears it’ll just look glamorous on her. Her beauty is exotic and her body still looking gorgeous despite having given birth to twins.

J.Lo is back on track again with a new album, plus a judging seat at the American Idol. She is also making it again to the headlines again with her new beau – Casper Smart. I was happy when she finally settled down with Marc Anthony having gone through a lot of relationships and marriages and I thought that this guy has finally pinned down J.Lo. I even thought they were doing well because I’ve seen Marc Anthony at the American Idol supporting her wife. It was shocking news when Marc filed a divorce on the grounds of irreconcilable differences. What’s more shocking is when she made it to the headlines with a new boyfriend! And I thought, Ooh boy, she’s back again!

J.Lo is featured in a new music video “Follow the Leader” with Wisin&Yandel. The video was directed by her boyfriend, Casper Smart. J.Lo reportedly told an insider that she wants his current beau, to direct her for life. Sounds like she wants to get married again!

According to her she wants to marry Casper because he lets J.Lo to be in control, which is opposite to what has been between her and ex-husband Marc Anthony. J. Lo reportedly to have spent $2 million dollars for shopping, pricey gifts and trips, of which she denied the facts and told that it was inaccurate. Who could ever forget J.Lo’s extravagant gift to her boy-toy, Smart on his 25th birthday wherein she did not only threw away a party,and shealso gifted him a customized Dodge Ram Truck. And just recently, J.Lo announced her upcoming world tour with Enrique Iglesias and Wisin Y Yandel wherein her boyfriend will play an integral role in putting up a good show. That means her boyfriend for 6 months have been promoted from back-up dancer to choreographer! Oh well, if that’s what love is for Jennifer Lopez so be it..

Jennifer Lopez is definitely back! Her music, her dancing, and her exciting love life! Her everyday life as well as her gorgeous outfits will be one of the most sought after at this time. As far as I’ve been seeing her in American Idol, not in a single episode did she ever looked less than stunningly beautiful!

Jennifer Aniston

JENNIFER ANISTON

She’s one of the famed actresses in the Hollywood and one of the most talked about. Jennifer Aniston is my favourite actresses of all time. I’ve watched her on “F.R.I.E.N.D.S”, and get to know more about her when she and then husband, Brad Pitt. I was a kiddo then when I first heard about Brad Pitt, being the hunkiest and handsome man in Hollywood and indeed being married to him is what every girl’s fantasy at that time.

Jennifer Aniston was one of the most beloved actresses in Hollywood. Not only because of the personal she has had with estranged husband, Brad Pitt, but also because she embodies the refined “it” girl in Hollywood. She is a versatile actress who can go from classy, to funny to melodramatic – she has it. She also has that sweet, innocent face and a stunning body.But when news broke that Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston finally called it quits in 2005 because of infidelity issues he had with co-star in Mr. and Mrs. Smith – Angelina Jolie, all sympathies go with her. Since then, the constant comparing of Jen and Angelina has been making it in the tabloids, in entertainment news and even to Forbes list!

People would always think that there is bitterness that lingers in Jen having separated with Brad, but I don’t think she has had. Even before the news broke out, she had been mum about it. There were even reports of reunion of Brad and Jen. Even I, as a fan would wish that their romance be given another chance, but if their chemistry is not patching up why push it so hard? It’s a good thing though that she and Brad had divorce because I guess it was sort of a way to find herself again. After her divorce with Brad, she have had relationships which was unluckily didn’t work out. That’s a good thing with being a single because you are able to mingle and find the right person to really settle with, and that seemed to be happening with her present beau – Justin Theroux.

Now that Brad Pitt and Angelina have been engaged, the media are dying to get reactions from Jen, which I think is no longer appropriate. She and Brad Pitt had been separated for seven years now and it’s a pretty sure thing that they both have moved on, right? Why dig in so much and why try putting up wars against these two lovely ladies when they both have lived their lives now. Jen, now 42, is reportedly will tie the knot with present boyfriend Justin Theroux whom she met and fell in love with during their taping with their movie Wanderlust.

With that good news, Jen and Justin will soon wed probably by July. She was spotted looking for some good sites in Crete, Greece. Jen and her current beau Justin Theroux seen happily together, it is worthy to connote that she indeed had found a real and new love.
