Like every year; here is the annual list of the young stars in Hollywood who I think have been doing a good job at building their careers. So a combination of past current success, mixed with things coming up in the future. A lot of it is my gut telling me things about how I feel about it, so I am biased. I don’t expect anyone to agree with me regarding this list but you know what? I don’t care, it’s my list so I stand by it. Though I have to admit; I had a hard time coming up with ten names. A lot of teen stars failed to impress this year and there isn’t that much new blood coming at the moment; seems like there is a bit of a gap between generations at the moment. (more…)

Rising Starlets 2010
Sunday, November 28th, 2010Grow Up CBS
Thursday, November 18th, 2010I’m not usually the one to jump in on a single episode of a random show but I’m making an exception here. This week CBS aired an episode of The Good Wife, guest starring Miranda Cosgrove. Now that itself isn’t really a major event, people guest star on shows all the time however the nature of the episode to me was just wrong.
The premise of the episode is that the main character has to defend a former Disney Channel star who got into trouble. In this case with DUI’s and attempted murder by ramming someone’s car. That’s right, Disney Channel star, with the emphasis on Disney. As the company is referenced more than once in the episode. Now I’m not someone for conspiracies but isn’t it rather convenient that they have a Nickelodeon star portray a gone of the deep end Disney star? Especially when you consider that CBS is part of Viacom, Nickelodeon is part of MTV Networks which in itself is part of Viacom again. So in all reality, direct competition to Disney.
Couldn’t they have considered to just make the character a teen star instead of making it company specific? Why add Disney into the mix? Yes, there is this history that Disney stars have gone and screwed up. That doesn’t mean that Disney star is a synonym for screw up. That’s just the company aspect though, it actually gets personal.

Review: Sparks Fly
Thursday, April 29th, 2010
This was announced long ago but now the time has come that Miranda Cosgrove released her first album Sparks Fly. There are two versions of the album, a standard version and a deluxe version. Here we’re going to focus on the standard version. The standard contains eight songs, the deluxe thirteen. Quite a big difference but I figure that they would have put the best stuff on the standard version so that’s why we’re focusing on it. (more…)
Rising Starlets 2009
Sunday, December 27th, 2009So I have this opinion on all sorts of lists that keep showing up around the internet. They are all pointless, who is best? That is something people usually make up for themselves, you can’t exactly be told who is best by some random person. That still is a personal opinion from that single person. Here I’m talking about all the blogs and sites that make random lists, usually not consulting any kind of vote though those are quite pointless as well. So what to do, those lists will keep showing up around the internet.
Simple enough solution, here is the annual list of rising starlets so now the 2009 edition. So young actresses and musicians in Hollywood who I feel have done the most improvement in their career rated by projects, popularity etc. Yes, it is full of my opinion so no one can tell me I’m wrong. Here we go. (more…)
The Double Standard Rant
Sunday, December 6th, 2009I can honestly say that I’m getting sick of these double standards in the world of entertainment, especially regarding young celebrities. Now I’m not in the business of attacking someone just to prove a point regarding someone else. So this shouldn’t be seen as an attack (because it isn’t) but just to illustrate a double standard.
We all know by now that Miley Cyrus is the favorite “bad girl” of almost every celebrity gossip site or blog. Anyone who has ever seen this site knows that I have a soft spot for her, that however doesn’t change that I can be objective if I have to be. Especially seeing I don’t actually hate any celebrity, I might be less fond of others but when you don’t like someone, you don’t have to watch their movies, tv shows or listen to their music.
So Miley Cyrus has ten piercings and a tattoo, the horror. Last time I checked that isn’t illegal even though some gossip bloggers maintain that it is; it’s called parental consent. That apparently makes her a bad girl, that she keeps staying humble and that everyone who works with her seems to love her, doesn’t seem to matter. Yes there are a lot of paparazzi pictures of her but is she ever actually doing something bad in them? Not exactly, you can’t find her at a nightclub in the middle of the night. The one story TMZ posted that she was refused at a night club was already proven as being false by the night club owners. Would be a bit of a suicide for a business to be known for breaking a customer’s privacy (even though she wasn’t actually a customer). (more…)
