Blonde Showdown

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

In the history of Hollywood there has been some sort of obsession with blondes. This one actress who has everyone’s admiration it seems. If no one has a clue what I’m talking about it’s probably best to mention Marylin Monroe by now, that should explain it all. Over the years there always have been actresses who are sort of the ranking blonde. Right now however I don’t think there is on. Ever since Scarlett Johansson decided to go for a darker hair color there is no ranking blonde actress. Yes there have been people trying to bleach their way into the blonde rankings but it’s just not the same. People like Lindsay Lohan simply aren’t known as blondes so they can never be the ranking blonde actress in Hollywood. So who is it going to be?

I think we have to look at the currently under age actors as to who will become the next one. People could go for people like Kristen Bell but however lovely she might be, if she hasn’t made it to that status by now, I don’t think she’s going to make it. I think there are currently three main candidates we can look at; Dakota Fanning, AnnaSophia Robb and Sofia Vassilieva. Except for their first names ending in a the main thing they have in common is that their hair has the required hair color. Seeing they’re still minors I’m not going to judge them on their vavavoom factor quite yet. Besides, they’re in Hollywood and this might sound a bit harsh but you don’t really see ugly people in Hollywood. (more…)

In It For the Long Run

So why a blog post about Miley Cyrus? As if there aren’t enough of those already; well in all reality Miley’s career is at a crossroads. She has to make the transition from teen TV star to a grown up artists. Sure she’s only seventeen right now but if one thing is clear she’s already bigger than herself as a star. People don’t use the term biggest teen star of all time very lightly but in this case it probably applies.

Hannah Montana is ending, Disney is currently filming the fourth and final season of the show. So after that it leaves a large gap, what will Miley do next? Actually quite a lot is known about that already. Though one note has to be made, Hannah Montana is ending but Disney is going to stretch it into 2011. They’ve pretty much had crappy airing schedules since the Writer’s Strike in 2008, doesn’t look like that is going to change anytime soon. Disney seems to be trying to hold on to Hannah Montana as long as it can. Personally I feel that this doesn’t do the show justice at all and I don’t actually know anyone who’s happy about the airing schedule. Nothing I say about it will change it though so I’m leaving the subject.

One “mistake” (it’s always a relative term, one thing can be right for one person and wrong for another) a lot of teen stars tend to do is that they stick with the wrong kind of movie. There are always girls who seem to go with the good girl image (e.g. Selena Gomez) and girls who seem to go with the bad girl image (e.g. Taylor Momsen). They go with roles that seem to focus on the short term, it’s all a bit of the same. There of course also are the actresses don’t really go for any image also because they operate a little more in the background (e.g. AnnaSophia Robb, Sofia Vassilieva, etc). (more…)

I Want Zoe Carter Back!

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

I can imagine that people will wonder what the tittle is all about, who on earth is Zoe Carter? Well, there is an easy explanation; Zoe Carter is a character on a SyFy show called Eureka played by Jordan Hinson. I don’t really expect people to be familiar with either the show or the actress but I really do love the show Eureka. Part of it is just the funny setting and also a cast that just seems to work and Jordan of course is part of that cast. Her character Zoe is just funny and she does one hell of a job portraying the character. At the end of last season however the character Zoe Carter announced that she’d be going to Harvard, so leaving the town of Eureka.

Now at the time I did not know that Jordan was actually leaving the show, I only found that out at a later point. Though I of course don’t know all the reasons for her leaving Eureka but the most obvious seems to be that she got signed to have a role in the ABC sitcom Hank. Now for an actress that is a big chance, being on a sitcom on a major network with the main star being Kelsey Grammer. So I don’t think anyone can blame her for making that move. The problem with Hank however is that it has already been canceled, after only nine episodes aired.

I tried watching the show but it just didn’t work for me, the show just wasn’t funny and the cast didn’t really work either. Now Kelsey is known as a good actor but not on this show, I’m also sad to say that Jordan in my eyes didn’t do well on this show either. So what’s the problem? Is the character of Zoe Carter the only thing she can do? It made me wonder but the thing is that I could only compare her on Hank and Eureka, I’ve never seen her in anything else. Looking for other things she has done didn’t help that much either, the only movie she has ever really done is some direct to DVD movie called Glass House: The Good Mother. I tried finding it but I just couldn’t so what to do? (more…)

Who is the Biggest Disney Star?

Saturday, January 30th, 2010

It’s in the media, around the internet, it’s everywhere. The constant debate of who is the bigger and better Disney star, is it Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez or Demi Lovato? Lets find out.

What can we compare them on? All three of them are active in the same segments of entertainment really, they each have their own Disney Channel show, they have a record deal with Hollywood Records and they do movies. So it should be quite easy to compare them on things, also included will be things like awards of course seeing that is everything the entertainment industry revolves around. We’ll even include some less obvious categories towards the end but we have to be thorough. Points will be awarded, 5 points for a victory, 3 points for a second place and 1 point for the last place.

I Don’t Know

Monday, January 11th, 2010

There is something that annoys me on the internet, be it on blogs and their comments, on discussion forums and even on sites like Twitter. Thinking about it, it actually also happens in real life when you talk to someone in person, not just on the internet. As this site/blog is about young stars developing their careers it’s about people growing up which makes what annoys me even worse (so that is my own fault in that case). What makes it even worse is that I’m guilty of it myself. It’s that other people feel the need to know what’s best for celebrities and/or who they are or should be.

Yes it sounds vague but there is a point to it, I’m not even going to use an example this time seeing it can apply to pretty much every celebrity out there. I’ve also seen it with many celebrities. One thing I can already conclude from looking at a lot of celebrities; every young celebrity out there is growing up too fast, it has been that way years ago and still is the case now. Is it me or is there a pattern there? The thing is that growing up is based a lot on experiences, your average young celebrity has a lot more experiences at a far younger age than “normal” people. Does that mean I’m saying they’re growing up at a normal pace? No I don’t because I simply don’t know. I believe that growing up is something everyone has to do for themselves, there are a lot of things involved in it.

I don’t actually know any celebrity personally. When people judge these celebrities they pretty much never know them personally either. Someone you see in magazines and interviews might not be the person someone actually is. There are so many things involved in a personality; it’s likely that not everything about that is shown in public. So who am I to say what kind of personality a celebrity has? I can only make an estimate based on what I see, I however can never present it as fact. (more…)
