T.G.I.M. (Thank God Its Monday)
The month as well as the summer season is coming to a close, and I decided to go ahead and start a back to school session of sorts, where we begin to expand on subjects that are of interest and frequently discussed.
In the arena of New Media, I believe that this very subject is at the root of the whole industry, and we should look closely at what the term celebrity represents, as the definition as well as the means to attain the status is shifting at a rapid rate.
The image featured above comes from a Google image search and it happens to be ranked at the 8th spot for a image inquiry regarding the term Celebrity.
It caught my eye, yet I did not recognize the face, so when I read further, it turns out to be a celebrity cyborg which is in fact a human created machine, that can be replicated.
When doing a Google web search of the term, the second and most popular listing is as follows.
Celebrity Gossip | Entertainment News | Celebrity News | TMZ.com
Aug 28, 2009 … Celebrity Gossip and Entertainment News, Covering Celebrity News and Hollywood Rumors. Get All The Latest Gossip at TMZ – Thirty Mile Zone.
The key words that stand out are gossip, news, and Hollywood, which if I was to inquire of most individuals, they would draw some form of a connection between the words.
With as much of an emphasis in the world that there tends to be regarding the concept of celebrity, it seems like there is only an awfully small amount of data regarding what the word means and represents. If people want to be celebrities or are interested in celebrities, then wouldn’t we want to know what makes a celebrity a celebrity?
I know I would, yet its simply because I am operating a publication, and the events which have transpired as a result are quite amazing in regards th the business of show.
The online dictionary states the word fame in the first part of the definition, and fame is simply a case of being popular or known by many. The important part of the equation here is to note by which means an individual is made famous and the purpose of what they are famous for.
For the most part, from what I can tell, most individuals grow up in  society with media outlets such as television, magazines, newspapers, radio, and theater.
One part of the society usually known as the general public observes the special public individuals who’s names and faces appear in those outlets.
If an individual sees this growing up before the Internet age, then their idea of celebrity is that which entails having ones pictures seen and words heard by many.
With the New Media format, there is the same idea of what makes a celebrity, and with some words and pictures along with an outlet, many individuals seek to go outside of the traditional outlets ( mainstream) for a shot at popularity and stardom by seeing how much interest they can generate to an online profile or feature.
My personal take on the whole subject, is primarily in regards to the state of being known as importance. V.I.P. is an abbreviation for
“very important person” and the wise know the status of importance represents a person, place, or thing, that is necessary and useful which gives it or them value. Although images in mainstream media outlets now lead individuals to believe that it is simply a case of having their words heard and images viewed by many, when they mimic the scenario on the Internet, in actuality, there once was a time where the individual being featured had a certain quality of essence that individuals who observed them could actually draw from. I will now take a look at a group of icons that represent the idea.
The images above are of Showbiz Icons Marylin Monroe, The Rat Pack (Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. Frank Sinatra), and Sidney Portier.
There are other past greats in addition to these, yet I selected these individuals as examples due to the vast amounts of study that I have conducted in regards to their lives and careers and the impact they had on the world as entertainers.
One quality that unites each of them, is their genuine love for the work that they did, which was to entertain.

Its 11 p.m. and I just got in, and no, I have’nt forgotten about you.
Im actually woking on an insightful piece entitled The Science Of Celebrity, that I am sure you will find enjoyable as this months closing statement, and today I decided to go ahead and add
Michael Jackson into the story as a fitting tribute and preview of whats on the horizon as far as showbiz is concerned. Think “CHANGE”
It looks like Inspiration is the name of the game for the month of August judging by the response to the last post on the subject so on with the show it is.
Below is a clip from what we can consider a classic cult flick known as The Mack that I refer to as a sound reference on the subject matter on a continuous basis.
I guess this is what we can call Freestyle Fridays, as we are going to do things different today. When discussing different subjects and tasks today, we both decided to just let you in on the conversation as it may be entertaining for you to listen in to conversations held by others.
This was on the subject of Sex and the Internet, and perhaps you may be able to grab something from it. I have not done any editing or spell checking, as I want to leave it for you as is to figure out.
Also note that the beginning part of the chat session is not included, as it was somehow cut from the dialouge box, usually meaning all that you were meant to see IS what you see and get. So with that said.
Enjoy something different today, compliments of

do you believe that females known this and in their heart feel like they are cheating the guys in a sense?
like TEASING them so to speak?
2:06pmJennifer
yes they are ok with it, it does not mean that they have to go through with anything most of them will just be a tease get the enjoyment of all the showering of compliments and then they are done
yes
2:07pmRylan
ok, well i will have to get philisophical and let women know why this may need to be assesed
at some point that same guy will go out into the real world
and so will she
and this type of behavior can cause an emotional irritation in men who are not socially savvy
and on the REAL
the women who got hit in the L.A. Fitness killings just recently
or the reality TV grusome execution and decapitation
or many many scenarios that are NOT announced in the news
are a DIRECT result of that “TEASING and CHEATING”
you got CRAIGSLIST & YOU ALSO HAVE KILLERS>>>>
2:11pmJennifer
vary true! i will agree with you whole heartedly on that!
that is almost always what happens.. either that or a controlling jealous Ex who does not want anyone else ro have his girl
2:12pmRylan
thats the other side of it
all in all, its all the end results of DECIET
so being honest with ourselevs
lets state that both the men and the women have a desires
guys to Get Laid
girls to get Some Attention
and in Normal Life
guy gives girl attention to check feedback
if interested–Keep on It’
if not–>Move On
but with the Internet
there is no way of really assesing the persons response if you are one of those types of guys
which leads to STALKING
what do you feel is a fiar and equal balance that can be struck between both sexes?
fair*
a WIN WIN Situation?
2:18pmJennifer
well in some ways, it is a Win Win, because some women actually like the idea of being stalked becasue they are getting that attention they wanted all along and look at how much more attention she would get if something happened! ( i know it sounds terrible) but soem women will do what it takes to get the ttention they want… even if it comes down to that.. soem women will try to give someone hints into how to stalkk them, tell them where they are, etc.
2:19pmJennifer
just for the satisfaction of” that person, i swear he is stalking me, uugh! can’t he get over himdself? i am way too good for him” and they can feel like that celebrity they want to be inside who has everyone wanting them and following them just to get a glimpse of them
2:21pmRylan
ok, yet at the end, its still a Loose Loose, because if one is not satisfied, then both will not be in the process of Time. Its like something that Plato would say
2:22pmJennifer
well, i guess i will contradict myself and say yes that is right as well.. i guess it is a Loose Loose situation…
2:24pmRylan
ok, well I believe we have a solution, so congratulate yourself for being the hero of the story about something that may infact have a HUGE impact on the population.
I have always stated that the way to a successful relationship with any multiple character scenario
is when each one comes into the situation looking for what they can offer and how they can better
not the opposite, which is pretty much the norm with CONSUMERISM
so.. you said in the beginning
2:27pmRylan
that you come into a situation seeking to help make it better
and I am friends with you because I seek to help you and others to make their situation better
that is the fair and balanced solution, and we will focus in it as a New Standard of Attitude & Behavior.
Agreed?
Agreed?
2:30pmJennifer
agreed!

Beanie Sigel -Where”s My Opponent
What it is?
Its been a hot minute since the last time I posted a music review, yet its simply due to the fact that I haven’t heard anything that motivates me to write in a while. Today I found an example, and this is more targeted towards the Hip Hop lovers, who may have an interest in something worth while.
The new Beanie Sigel album entitiled The Broad Street Bully, can currently be previewed on Myspace.com at the following link. www.myspace.com/beaniesigel
To keep it brief and yet solid, all I will say is this.
If you just happen to pick up or listen to the new upcoming Jay Z album, and wonder what in the world happened to that
Rocafella Records sound you were expecting and used to hearing, it just moved over to this Beanie Sigel album, with support from State Property, the crew of Philadelphia emcees previously signed to the infamous R.O.C.
At the end of the day, a true boss, stands tall through it all, and for those who know his history,
Beanie Seigal rose above his adveristies with his intergrity intact.
Its my definition of Conscious Hip Hop, meaning conscious of the realities of the game and the means to attain the victory.
