Cut the Shit

A List of the People that REALLY get on my LOVE:

Welcome to a love session! After yesterday’s bitchery, I thought it might be nice to end the week with a lil’ bit o’ love for the people that not only make a difference in this world, they provide us with constant hours of beautiful and classy entertainment. If you’re on this list, you should be proud of yourself for not being annoying or trashy and for using your celeb status for good, rather than skanky evil.

1) Heidi Klum – My good friend Ari and I are both fans of the German beauty. Not only is she nice and real and classy, Heidi has the IT factor that you hear so much about in Hollywood. She can take a show like Project Runway and turn her host obligations into something so much more important. She speaks her mind freely, doles out respect in generous amounts, and overall has so much charisma and charm that you want to sweep her up into your arms and give her a big smack on the lips. Sometimes Heidi looks like an alien, but an alien that would come to earth and make it over into something even more beautiful.

2) Jeff Probst – Having hosted Survivor for over 10 seasons, Mr. Hotface, is one of the most consistent personalities on television. At times I have found that he crosses the line from smarm into sarcastic, but once I re-evaluate the situation, I realize that he is right for having taken that leap (Survivor contestants tend to be SO obnoxious). He knows how to keep the show moving and his intensity instills an extreme sense of excitement into each audience member. A consummate professional, Jeff Probst isn’t called “The Onetake Wonder” for nothing!

3) Mekhi Pfeiffer – Whether it’s playing a rapper in 8 Mile or as Dr. Gregory Pratt on ER, Pfeiffer is committed to each and every line he speaks. He is natural, compelling, and one of the best looking men on television. I was also happily surprised to see him on Celebrity Poker. He played well and conducted himself with such class that I adopted him as one of my favorite actors. Someone give this man an Oscar worthy script! Mekhi is going places and I will be proud to say that I’ve been following his career since Spike Lee’s Clockers.

4) Leonardo DiCaprio – Since I was a kid, Leo has been my favorite actor. The first movie I ever saw him in was Basketball Diaries and I was immediately hooked. He chooses the best roles, gives the most to every performance, and overall has a career that I aspire to achieve one day. There is something about this guy that gives me hope for American Cinema. He deserves all the accolades he receives and my hope is that one day he will be the next Marlon Brando. Without actors like DiCaprio, we wouldn’t be able to completely lose ourselves while watching a flick. If I ever win a prestigious award for my performance in a movie, I will surely thank Leo for being an inspiration to those of us who dream big.

5) Justin Timberlake – Say what you will, but if it’s negative, say nothing at all. With Justin headlining NSYNC, he quickly became one of my favorite performers of all time. When it was time to go solo, he revealed a side to his musical talents that far exceeded most expectations. The kid can sing like nobody’s business and MAN can he move. I could sit and watch Justin perform all day and get chills up and down my spine. Not only all of this, but he is segueing into the film world this year with the highly anticipated Alpha Dog. Usually I would root against musical artists trying to turn themselves into actors (Ashlee Simpson, anyone?), but with Timberlake, I want more of him. Not less. Keeping my fingers crossed that he becomes the true triple threat that I wish him to be.

6) Kevin Federline – The thing about this shocking talent is that lol sike! Imagine?! I would have just lost all my credibility. Kevin should go to sleep. Forever. Oh yeah. And ever.

I feel so at peace today, having given a listing of people who are making our entertainment lives so much more fulfilling. Thank you to all of the above for your contribution. I can now begin my weekend with my family in peace.

Be back next week lovers!
