The Many Talents of Bob Hope
Bob Hope was among my favorite actors and performers. He was never what you could call a handsome movie star, but he was very likable. I enjoyed watching him in the movies and on TV, and his smile was always infectious. On May 29, 2003 this wonderful personality celebrated his 100th birthday. There were about 35 US states which declared this to be Bob Hope Day.

Role Models?
I recently had a friend visit, and when he left, I noticed two Hollywood magazines he'd left behind. For fun, I started flipping through them. There were actually times I laughed out loud. The best part is that after 10 years of not watching television, I only knew about 10% of the celebrities. Celebrities and their lives for all to see are simply ongoing parables or often a paradox for our viewing pleasure.

Keanu Reeves; The Nicest Man in Hollywood!
It's always so refreshing to hear of the huge acts of kindness from the Hollywood favourite Keanu Reeves. Giving kindness, generosity and help, for no other reason than he wants too. The Mister nice guy of Hollywood, who is always spoken highly of and whom we have never heard a bad word about. The actor, director, producer and musician, Keanu Reeves, who has been appearing in Hollywood films for over thirty years. From big buck blockbusters to low budget independent films. He is a leading figure in tinsel town, who likes to keep a low profile, riding his beloved motorbikes or relaxing at his home in the Hollywood Hills.

Let's Talk About the Real Johnny Depp
It’s no secret that tabloids LOVE a good story. No, for real. They’re as subtle as a migraine when it comes to salivating over the juiciest new gossip in Hollywood. “But what happens when there is no new gossip to report on?” Ah! I’m glad you asked (let’s pretend you did for the sake of the article). Well, when there is nothing new to report, they make up their own stories! *hold for fake gasps.* It’s the truth, and they’ve been doing it for decades. So, all those magazines you see when you stop into your local grocer’s to pick up a carton of milk, telling you all about the latest divorce (that most likely won’t happen)—It's fake, and nearly every celebrity has had to endure it. One of those celebs is Johnny Depp.

The Scream
I am 42 years old, so I guess I am about halfway now, and I figured out life recently. Basically for about the first half of your life, you have no idea what you are doing. But then at some point, you start to figure things out and you become more self aware. And from that point onwards, the rest of your life is basically just your brain continually reminding you how much you have fucked up your life. And you never get a good night's sleep again, you just lie there at night relating intently to the painting The Scream. I had a really talented client once who did this amazing painting of The Scream, only instead of one person screaming he had a whole line of people screaming. He said it was because sometimes one scream isn’t enough. And that is pretty much life. I shall give you an example…

"Diana Reborn"
There are those rare events where you can apply one simple question; where were you when they happened? Throughout history this question has mainly been linked with a global event, which has shocked, moved, or wowed the world. Twenty-two years ago today, such an event took place, one which would plunge an entire Nation into a deep-seated grief, and would bring a thousand year-old institution to the brink. It would begin with an article in the magazine Vanity Fair, and tragically end within the Pont de l’Alma tunnel in Paris.

10 Hot Sitcom Dads
When I was a tiny tot, I didn't pay attention to the sexiness of a character/actor on my favorite TV shows. Sure, I may have thought Zack Morris was cool and even cute—I had older sisters so I was pretty much born into being boy crazy!
