I wouldn’t dare own a blog without talking about mugshots. We all have our drunken moments which haunt us forever. Unfortunately, celebrities do not have the luxury of keeping their 4 A.M. shots out of the public. There will always be greedy cops that will sell those prized shots to paparazzi. There have been some famous occurrences as of late with the most famous one being Rihanna. 
I think Paris Hilton called in her makeup team for this one. Michael Jackson’s mugshot is actually less creepier than normal shots. I think about 80% of Americans have seen this Jack photo and classic hairdo. Snoop Dogg is the man no matter what. Is that the Iron Man? Is this PeeWee after he got caught jacking off in the movie theater? And of course, you can’t have Paris without Nicci.
Mugshots are funny. I recently had a party and rented a photo booth to create my own mugshots late night. It was an instant success and I even made money on it. Photo booth deals can be found in a lot of cities to rent for your special occasion. I used Portland photobooth rentals and was very satisfied. You can learn more about Portland photobooth services and there products.
It seems like you can’t get much done these days without a good plan. That’s really what it comes down to with celebrities. Those who have successful, lengthy careers typically have great lawyers, agents, and friends. These business professionals shape these celebrities into what they become by being mentors.
Friends allow them to stay level-headed. Agents paint the right picture of them in the public. Finally, lawyers make sure that their third wife doesn’t take all they have made (Sorry Mel). I am referring to Mel Gibson’s recent divorce that could cost him about $500 million. The movie stars, athletes, and celebrities of today need to have a great marketing team to sell their products.
They have professional video production services at their disposal for new ventures, movies, and promotional gear. Strategic appearances, charity events, and moral behavior are the keys to success in Hollywood. I would not suggest beating your girlfriend, getting a DUI, or exposing your snatch.
Even if you are not a celebrity, surround yourself with a good team. Keep loyal friends, pay worthy lawyers, and find the best way to market yourself every day. With an everyday struggle to keep a job, you may never know who is your next connection.
Everyone knows how much some celebrity sports athletes gamble. John Daly, one of the most famous, claims to have lost over $50 million dollars gambling. Charles Barkley, who claims a deficit of $10 million, says that $20 million would be more realistic for John. Barkley claims that non of his gambling was on basketball, but I’m sure a dime or two has gone to the NBA. Daly wrote “John Daly: My Life In and Out of the Rough,” an autobiography about his times in the P.G.A. and his gambling addiction.
Barkley does admit that he needs to limit his gambling but it isn’t that serious because he has the money to do it. I wonder what he uses for online casinos. I’m sure he has an 888 account where he has about fifty large to play from his recliner. I know that he travels a lot to casinos, but nothing beats the comfort of his luxury home where he can’t be criticized. The best online casino allows people like Charles to view hundreds of games and gamble. I’m sure that he doesn’t leave the home much since he started the “Haney Project.” This new reality show features Tiger Wood’s golf coach trying to teach Charles how to golf and fix his ugly swing. They work him really hard and he isn’t improving much.
You are not an A-List celebrity unless you have the latest, greatest exotic car. The economy may be hurting, but the luxury car industry is always in high demand because of their low production rates. States like California, Florida, Arizona, and other popular weather states typically have the most exotic cars. The year round beautiful weather guarantees a higher rate of return for these famous investments. If you love exotic cars, your best bet is Hollywood and California in general.
You are likely to spot someone like Heidi Klum out shopping in her Bentley Continental GT Convertible. Kim Kardasian also sports a Bentley convertible but hers is all tricked out with black car accessories like rims, tint and more. You can catch Lauren Conrad whipping around town in an Audi R8, a personal favorite of mine. The car that is.
Paris Hilton got a Mercedes Mclaren SLR from her sex tape revenues. God bless the internet. Fabio and his long locks like the Lamborghioni Gallardo. I girl’s childhood poster is driving around in my childhood poster. I even owned a Lamborghioni Diablo remote control car at one point. Simon Cowell, who was recently reported as being worth $200 million, rocks a Ferrari F430. How can a man make that much money and have such a horrible haircut?
Diamonds last forever. In fact, it’s ironic that some rappers wear the jewelry and only last a year. I see so many of these young, successful entertainers blow their entire paycheck on the most extravagant jewelry on the market. I would like to see how many of them actually sell them once their career tanks. It is no secret that the economy and collapse of the stock market have caused other investments to soar.
If you love a bargain and want to rock some “Ice” like the star, shop smarter than them. Take advantage of diamond coupons and save a boat load of cash on your next piece. We all know that times are tight and free coupons always help us out. Savings.com is one of the best places to find deals on jewelry as well as other celebrity gear. Read the reviews, shop away, and look fabulous.
I am an avid sports fan and love going to sports venues. My next trip will be to the city of Vancouver. Vancouver is the home of Generals Motors Place. General Motors Place is obviously sponsored by General Motors and was completely remodeled in 2006 to include a LCD Scoreboard and around the rink LED display. You won”t be getting any General Motors Place Tickets for the WWE though. World Wrestling Entertainment has been banned for multiple incidents of fighting and brawls during the taping of WWE Raw.
One of my favorite venues is hosting one of my favorite rappers tonight. Lil Wayne is playing the Sears Centre Arena tonight. Sears Centre Arena Tickets are still available for the show, but be ready to pay.
Hockey fans are going crazy right now trying to land Verizon Center Tickets. The NCAA Frozen Four is being hosted in Washington D.C. by the Verizon Center, formerly known as the MCI Center.
Clifford Harris, aka TI, has been sentenced to one year in prison stemming from 2007 weapons charges. Clifford tried to purchase unlicensed automatic machine guns and silencers hours after he headlined for BET’s hip-hop awards. Harris has already served over 1,000 community service hours teaching young kids about the effects of guns, drugs, and violence. He has 30-60 days to report to prison and still has about 500 hours of community service left. We love TI and wish him the best and predict that he will have a successful comeback.
Lebron James seems to have a pretty good sense of humor when it comes to the fame and glory he has amassed. That showed the other night as in the pre-game ceremony he turned the tape and became the paparazzi. Posing as a photographer, Lebron shot images of his teammates as they posed. It wouldn’t be a story if it ended there. In a following game, Shaq tried to one up the “King” by bowling down his teammates in the pre-game ceremony. Big Daddy concluded with the comment “Take That Lebron.” More like take that bowling to the lanes in June when I am in the NBA Eastern Eonference finals. That’s right, I brought it. Celtics vs. Cavs.
Professional wrestler Kurt Angler had a very interesting interview on the Howard Stern show. The wrestler manhandled several different controversial topics. First of all, there was the topic of how Kurt battled pain killer addictions about 5 years ago where he would pop about 65 perks a day. Can somebody say liver. I have taken a few before and felt pretty nice, but that is insane. Kurt also touched on the issue that he tried to go to rehab to take care of the problem but Vince McMahon insisted that he rectify the issue by himself. The interview then turned to his recent divorce (2 Months) from his ex Karen. He stated multiple times that he had made her a millionaire and that he was positive that she was screwing around with someone in the pro wrestling circuit. The final comments of the show turned to Kurt reading Robin a poem and trying to court the Stern co host. Of course, there was a lot of banter, especially after Angler proclaimed that he wasn’t hung that well. Kurt Angle will be facing Hiroshi Tanahashi for the IWGP Heavyweight Title at the New Japan Pro Wrestling ‘Resolution 2009’ PPV on April 5.
Lance Armstrong broke his right collar bone in Spain on a leg of a race that I cannot pronounce so I won”t even try to spell. The larger story here is the surgery he will be required to have in the coming week and his recovery time associated. Lance retired after winning seven straight titles and recently returned in hopes of getting his eight triumphant ride through Paris in July. Only the lucky few who have let their drunk friends punch them in the clavical know how much it lingers. Then again, if there is anything farther from a brawling drunk than Mr. Armstrong, I quit. My sentiments are simply that I wish him the best as if I believe anyone can do it, he can. Live Strong!
