Many knew Billy Mays as an annoying, screaming salesman that pushed Oxi-Clean, Zorbees, and many other products down our throat. His infamous opening line “Hi, Billy Mays here for…” could have a patent for its efficiency. Billy Mays was more than a salesman, he was a stand up guy who believed in people’s dreams and put his family first. He recently became a pop icon along side Anthony “Sully” Sullivan on the TV show “Pitchmen.” The years that preluded his success included countless days of traveling the home show circuit and making a name for himself.
Billy got the chance and never looked back. His former rival, Sully, joined forces and they became a lovable sales duo. The show highlighted their sincere business practices, their love for each other, and Billy’s unmistakable talent for pitching products. Billy was a hit for audiences, inventors, and his own staff because he genuinely cared about everyone. He never left a set without thanking everyone with either a hug or a handshake. Billy passed away in his sleep and left behind a family including a young daughter.
The story is a modern day tragedy in my mind. I feel as if I have lost a close friend and my wishes go out to his friends, family, and loved ones. It is a shame that someone who worked so hard to get to the top, fell so fast.
God Bless you Billy Mays, Rest in Peace.
Did anyone think that Jack Bauer would die last night? How about cry? It was a very emotional evening as his daughter came to see him at FBI headquarters. Even though her stem cells are his last hope, Jack denied the help claiming the risk to her life wasn’t worth it. However, we all know that Jack can’t die because he is the show. Also, what is going on with Tony Almeida? Right when you think he is good again, he turns. Jack’s intuition must be dying because he didn’t see it coming.
Lil Kim, who is a famous rapper, has a little wardrobe malfunction on Dancing with the Stars but that didn’t keep her from posting huge scores. Mel Gibson’s wife, Robyn, wants out. Mel and his wife have no prenuptial agreement and that mistake could end up causing the mega star about half of his fortune. It is rumored that his kingdom is worth approximately one billion dollars. The actor and his wife had been married for 28 years. This breaking news suggests that his divorce would make Hollywood history. Her $500 million dollar settlement would dwarf Michael Jordan $168 million dollar payment to Juanita in 2006.
Mel reportedly made over $600 million for the Passion of Christ alone. Their arrangement is most likely to include the provision that she gets half of his lifetime residuals from the movies he made. That means that anytime Lethal Weapon and his mullet appears on TV, she get a cut. Mel even owns a private island, well owns half a private island now.
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?
