Robert De Niro must have been in the right places, at the right times, because it appears he had more opportunities to move ahead to super stardom! And I agree that he is a superb actor, but it is still a wonder as to what puts certain stars ahead of others. Al Pacino is not only a superb actor; he is a soulful actor that tak... More..

There is no doubt in my mind that I can keep my children entertained at an amusement venue, much easier than at a nature sight. Now, don't get me wrong!

It looks like Kristi Lee Cook is hanging on by a thread! To say that Kristi Lee will not win this season's competition doesn't necessarily mean that she won't reign as a country crooner after she leaves the show. As we all have seen before, many of the contestants who have been bumped off have landed recording contracts, and ... More..
Entertainment > TV News & Commentary American Idol season 7: Should popular votes or judges' votes determine the winner?: 1 of 11
If the judges would have made the final decision on last night's show, we may not have lost one of the best voices in the competition. As you can tell from that first comment, I have enjoyed the talent of Michael Johns, and in my opinion, he was one of the best voices this season. As shocked as I was to see Michael leave the ...

I felt a relaxed ambience the minute I stepped off the plane at El Prat Airport, Barcelona. There was a positive energy flow amid the busy airport workers and scurrying travelers.

You can't deny that making a profit is the motivation behind any business! After all, without sounding curt, they aren't there for their health!

Entertainment > TV News & Commentary Is Whoopie Goldberg a good replacement for Rosie O'Donnell on The View?: 1 of 7
I have nothing against Whoopie Goldberg! She has been entertaining us in films and on Television for years. As a comedian, she has made us laugh with her laid-back humor and wit, and, there's no doubt why she has remained one of the top in her field all these years. The fact however, that her material is generally raw and unc... More..
