Just the other day I was watching NBA basketball and realized that I was nearly 6 years older than Lebron James.   It simply sickened me.  Ever get that feeling when you see a person on television it’s just nearly impossible to believe that you’re older than them?  Well that’s exactly how I feel when I see tons of  celebrities.  And this new crop of fresh faces that were born in the 90s?  Well that just flat out makes me feel ancient.  Here are 20 celebrities born in the 90s that will really give you some perspective on how old you really are.  Enjoy the gallery below and thanks to Buzzfeedfor the pics!

The 20 Richest Rappers in the World as of 2013



p-diddyRapping has obviously come a long way since the days of “Rapper’s Delight” and guys like Sugarhill Gang or Kool Moe Dee.   In fact when it comes to the music business, rap is clearly one of the most popular and lucrative genres in the industry.  So much so that it’s more like a label or a business than it ever has been.  And it’s creating more millionaires than it ever has.   And some rappers today are way more than just that.  They are their own brands.  Take Diddy and Jay Z for example.  These guys don’t just rap anymore.  They have countless other labels of their own including clothing lines, production companies, alcohol brands, and even sports talent.   Just to show you how wealthy these guys become, take a look at the 20 richest rappers in the world in the pages that follow.  The number figures are courtesy of Celebrity Net Worth.  Thanks to Brian Warner.

30 Of Our Favorites Canadian Actresses of 2013

Rarely do we realize that some of the greatest talent in the entertainment industry comes from a land a little bit north of ours.  In fact whenever I am told that an actor or actress isn’t American I just assume he or she is Canadian.   Heck look at the cast of Saturday Night Live.  It just seems to happen all the time.  But today we’re going to focus on 30 actresses from Canada that we deem to be the most beautiful.

30 Fairly Shocking Pictures of Celebrities Without Makeup



Mila Kunis
Mila Kunis
See here’s the thing.   Granted this picture above of Mila Kunis does in fact show her without makeup, I think it’s an example of her looking at her worst.  So when we see all these “celebrities without make up” pictures they’re usually taken when these celebrities look like the bottom of the bottom.   But I think the point is that celebrities aren’t always as glamorous and done up as they appear to be.   So that’s why we wanted to bring these 30 examples to your attention.  Granted they might be a bit extreme but it’s always interesting to see what celebrities look like without make up.  Check out the surprising gallery below.  Names are beneath each picture.

There’s always going to be this crazy battle between the paparazzi world and the celebrity world.   It’s just the way it is.   Celebrities don’t like the invasion of privacy but unfortunately there’s an entire industry based on following the lives of celebrities.  Hey, look at this site.   I mean come on.
So while the paparazzi and celebrities continue to feud and judge what is moral and what is not, sites like ours can at least take a comical approach to it all by sharing some of the funnier moments celebs encounter with those taking the pictures.  Enjoy this gallery of funny celebrity encounters with the paparazzi.

Punky Brewster (Soleil Moon Frye)
I’m not sure if I’m dating myself here or not but I guess this applies to those of you who were either kids in the 80s or kids in the 90s.  I’m afraid if your post 2000 this might not apply to you.  But if there’s one thing I remember as a kid it’s having a crush on a certain female celebrity who was on a TV show.   I mean all of us guys loved Alyssa Milano on “Who’s the Boss” or Soleil Moon Frye on “Punky Brewster.”  Today we’re here to share a gallery of 25 such female actresses in the before stages and what they look like now.   The names of the women are underneath each photo.  Enjoy!

Celebrities You Didn’t Know were Abercrombie and Fitch Models



Abercrombie_Celebrities_14Many celebrities come from pretty humble beginnings.   Sometimes the celebrity may have been a waiter or waitress before catching their big breaks.  Other times they’re accountants, construction workers, you name it.  And other times they’re close to Hollywood but not quite.  Many are just good looking models looking to make it big.   And in this case these celebrities modeled for a pretty big outfit called Abercrombie and Fitch.  Buzzfeed put together this great list and we added a couple.  The name of the celebrity and year they modeled are beneath each picture.

Child Stars Who Should Have Made it Bigger But Didn’t



child_stars_11Have you ever watched a movie that had a child star in it and you thought to yourself, “this kid’s gonna be big?”  And maybe that kid does become big for say the next year or so.   Maybe even a couple of years.   But then you all of sudden don’t hear their names anymore.  You don’t see them on screen anymore.  And before you know it decades have passed and you have no clue what happened to them.  That’s what this gallery is about.  It’s those children you thought would make it but never did.   Kind of a bummer.   There are a few in here that still surprise me to this day.

25 Celebrities You Might Not Guess are Canadian



Emily VanCamp I’m not sure if this is common knowledge or not.  Maybe common knowledge isn’t the right word.  It’s widely known that a number of celebrities are Canadian.   For the most part it seems like it’s always comedians, especially those on SNL.  But to my surprise there are just so many more Canadian celebrities out there that I never know about.   Sure here and there I’ll always be like “that guy (or girl) is Canadian?  Well we put together 30 celebrities that you very well might not know in fact originated from Canada.  Enjoy the slideshow.  Names and locations are beneath the photos.   Thanks to Buzzfeed for these finds.

Scarlett Johansson

We all know that celebrities aren’t always looking like they do in magazines and at movie premieres.  In fact it takes a lot of work both on and off the camera to achieve the look that some of these people achieve.   Often times, in fact more often than not when you see a celebrity in a magazine, chances are their faces have been touched up more than a few times.   We decided to take the liberty of sharing some of the before and afters of some of the photoshop enhancements. Thanks to Buzzfeed for the pics.  Names are below each photo.  Enjoy!

We’re always trying to dive into the past of celebrities just to see what kinds of lives they lead before fame.   Today we’re going to focus on female celebrities and show that at one point in their lives they truly showed school spirit as cheerleaders.  It’s kind of hard to picture Katie Couric (above) as a cheerleader but she was! Enjoy the gallerry and remember the names of each lady are beneath each photo.

20 Celebrities Who Weren’t The Coolest in School




Uncool_Celebs_21Not everyone who appears to be famous and “together” these days had the greatest time when they went to school.  In fact some of the most attractive, “cool,” and successful celebrities in the world were picked on, made fun of, and even bullied in their school days.  Today we bring you 20 such celebrities as well as quotes they had about some of their experiences.   I guess the main thing here is “who’s smiling now bullies?”

12 Before and After Photoshop GIFs of Famous Celebrities



celeb-photoshop-07.thumbnailSeeing pictures of celebrities that have been photoshopped is nothing new.  In fact we have posted our gallery of celebrities with photoshop treatment before.   However, what we have today is a little bit different.   A very talented artist who brought his skills to image site Imgur decided to create GIFs aka moveable images that display the before and after differences in celebrities when they are photoshopped.  So what you’ll be seeing are animated pictures that click back and forth between the non photoshopped and photoshopped picture.  We think you’ll enjoy this.  The names of the celebrities in question are right beneath the photos…

Celebrities That Dress Like Some Mattresses

We realize how completely random a gallery like this is, but we simply couldn’t resist.  I mean folks around the internet post pictures of celebrities who look like animals all the time.   But how often do you come across pictures of celebrities dressing like mattresses you see on the side of the street?  Well, that’s what the Walthamstow Facebook Page wants you to see.  For some reason they snapped shots of celebs dressing like mattresses.  Enjoy the pics!

Kate Middleton and her Effortless Maternity Style Choices



Kate_Middleton_Pregnancy_1
In what has been one of if not the most anticipated birth in the last century, Kate Middleton has taken it all in stride.  From the crazy beginning at the hospital to what was supposed to be her final public appearance with the christening of a boat, we’ve seen many of Kate’s stylish looks.  It seems that each time the Duchess steps out in public she’s making a perfect statement.   Each outfit has been appropriate and she’s never sweated the baby bump.  Not once.  We decided to take you through some of Kate’s best looks during her pregnancy.   We’ve cited what she was wearing and when where applicable.  Enjoy the pics!

A Gallery of Celebrities Who Look Way Younger Than They Are



Aging_Celebrities_18
There are loads of celebrities who have had work done to look the way they do.  Some of them can pull it off and others aren’t fooling anyone.  But there are also celebrities that simply work at it harder than anyone.  That or they have the tremendous fortune of having amazing genes.   In this gallery you’ll see a bunch of celebrities who simply don’t look their age.  In fact it’s just really unfair and almost impossible to figure out how they look this young!  The names and ages of the celebrities are beneath each photo.  Enjoy!

20 Awesome Unexpected “Celebrities Hanging Out” Pictures




celebs_hanging_out_20There are rare moments in the celebrity world where we get to see them simply acting like human beings.  It’s as if the cameras are shut off and they can simply be themselves for a while.   So while all the celebrities you see in movies and on television may fit a certain character it’s not necessarily how they are in real life.   So the pairings you’ll be seeing here appear somewhat random.  But maybe in their real lives these celebs are friends and their personalities off the stage or camera are more aligned than on it.   Plus some of these pics are just so random we had to post them.  Enjoy the gallery!

The 20 Most Powerful and Influential Celebrities




powerful_celebs_21Forbes Magazine released its 14th annual Celebrity 100 ranking of the 100 wealthiest and most powerful celebrities in the world.  According to the magazine, “The Celebrity 100 measures money and fame, including estimated earnings over the last 12 months, and how often each celebrity is mentioned in print, on TV and in social media,” the report adds. “Earnings consist of pre-tax income between June 1, 2012, and June 1, 2013.”
In order to create the list Forbes used E-Poll Market Research which ranks more than 6,600 celebrities on 46 different personality attributes based on their polling data of Americans.  Since this list couldn’t solely be measured by money, in order to break and potential ties,  likability and awareness factor metrics were also provided by the polling firm.  Not quite sure how you measure “likeability” but we’ll take the firm at it’s word since we’re not spending 1000s of hours analyzing this stuff.
To guess who number one is actually is quite simple if you think about it for around 6 seconds.  However, some on the list might surprise you.   Lord knows a Justin Bieber didn’t surprise me but it still bothered me quite a bit.  Check out the top 20 in our gallery below.  The list is in descending order and names are beneath each picture though you most likely know all of these people…..

The Best Pictures of Britney Spears



This is a true story.  Back in 1998 I was a sophomore in college and I videotaped (yes videotaped) the Britney Spears video “Hit me Baby one more Time.”  I told my friends that this little hottie was going to be a big star.  I mean clearly I couldn’t have nor could anyone really predict the path of Britney Spears but one this is for sure:  15 years later she’s still doing her thing and is a huge success.
But I think everyone is with me when I say “man do I miss the Oops I did it again days.”   As such we decided to put together a nice little mega gallery for all of you.  Please enjoy the best 50 pictures of Britney Spears!

The Best Pictures of Kate Upton




Born in Michigan and raised in Melbourne, Florida, Kate Upton grew up around horses. She was attending a horse show–not as a participant, but because the event piqued her interest–at age 12 when she was Spotted by Trump Model Management. Three years later she went to Miami to become a model. She quickly gained popularity after her first appearance in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, and also for utilizing social media which got her signed by Ivan Bart of IMG Models. For this skillful use of the internet she was profiled on 13 February 2012 by the NY Times the same day as her second issue of Sports Illustrated, featuring her on the cover, hit newsstands.
Now?  Now she’s about the most famous blond in the entire world.  At least that’s what I think.  We honor Kate Upton with a nice little 50 photo pictorial.  Enjoy!

Selena Gomez Mega Gallery




Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez may have called it quits, but Selena Gomez still hasn’t reached the peak of her career. Here’s a giant collection of photos of Selena performing live, walking the red carpet, and partying on the beach during Spring Break.

Stacy Keibler Mega Gallery




Stacy Keibler (born October 14, 1979) is an American actress, model, and retired professional wrestler and valet, and current girlfriend of George Clooney.  Well….not anymore but she was! Enjoy the gallery.

Heidi Klum Mega Gallery




Heidi Klum is far and away one of the most successful models to ever walk the runway so it’s natural that we’d be digging up as many photos of her as is humanly possible.  We’ll keep adding as we can but we hope you enjoy this mega gallery of the gorgeous Klum.

Jennifer Aniston Mega Gallery




Jennifer Aniston keeps seeming to defy age.   And the more she shows off in a bikini the more we’re actually mystified.   We don’t know when Ms. Aniston will start trending downward but we’ll be sure to ride out this wave as long as it’s rolling.   Enjoy this mega gallery of Jennifer Aniston

Jessica Simpson Mega Gallery




To be honest we’re not 100% sure what happened to Jessica Simpson.   After the pregnancy I feel like the woman just went downhill.  But we don’t like to think of her in that way.  We like to think of her prime Daisy Duke wearing self that we all came to know and love.  So if you’re looking for that Jessica, look no further.

Kate Middleton Mega Gallery



It’s hard not to pay attention to Kate Middleton these days.  After all, she’s a princess!   Still though, she’s a stunner and we’ll take every chance we get to share photos of the British beauty.  Enjoy our Mega Gallery!

Maria Menounos Mega Gallery



I remember first seeing Maria Menounos and thinking that she’d be huge someday. What began as simply a Hollywood reporter gig wound up becoming a phenomenon. People love Maria. I love Maria. You’re all gonna love Maria after seeing this mega gallery.

Olivia Wilde Mega Gallery



We all know her from movies and television as one of the most beautiful ladies in all of the land. It’s the eyes. It’s the body. It’s the whole package. It’s all that is Olivia Wilde in this amazing mega gallery of photos. We hope you enjoy!

The Best Pictures of Christina Hendricks



If you don’t know who Christina Hendricks is by now then you have serious problems.  The buxom red head beauty has been on the show Mad Men since the inception of the show.  She’s known for turning heads in her beautiful gowns and having a retro style look to her.   And yet she’s classy.  Hendricks rarely does a super sultry photo shoot and maintains that her biggest “assests” are in fact real.
Frankly it doesn’t make a difference to us or not.  She turns heads no matter what.   And to prove that we’ve compiled 50 amazing pictures of the starlet.

The Best Pictures of Annalynne McCord




She’s as much of a star because of the annoying spelling of her name as the beauty of her face and body.  Annalynne McCord is just a very aggravating name to have to type out.  Still though, it’s worth it for this beauty.  The 90210 star seems to be a great gal, doesn’t get into the spotlight too much and you know something else?  She’s got one hell of a Twitter profile too.
As such we decided to gather a fantastic gallery of pictures of the star for you.  Enjoy!

The Best Pictures of Kat Dennings




Katherine Litwack (born June 13, 1986), better known by the stage name Kat Dennings, is an American actress. Emerging with a role in an episode of the HBO dramedy series Sex and the City, Dennings has since appeared in the films The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Big Momma’s House 2, Charlie Bartlett, Raise Your Voice, The House Bunny, Defendor, Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist, and Thor.  She co-stars in the CBS television series, Two Broke Girls.
We’re just huge fans of her alternative type of a look.  She just gives that vibe that she really doesn’t care and we simply love that about her.  As such we had to put together a wonderful gallery for your review.  Enjoy our choices for the best 50 pictures of Kat Dennings!

The Best Pictures of George Clooney



George Clooney has been around Hollywood for more years than I care to remember.   His dashing looks and on screen persona has warmed the hearts of many women (and men) since his days on Facts of Life.   And now that he’s an accomplished director and writer is there anything this man can’t do?  100 bucks says if Clooney ran for President he would most likely win.   Perhaps he’s a bit too far on the left but I could easily see him kicking some serious tail in the White House.
For now I’m sure he’s happy with the company of one Stacy Keibler.   Anyway, we thought it’d be nice to share our 50 best pics of Mr. George Clooney.  Enjoy!

A Great Gallery of Celebrities Working Out



Tis the season to start getting in shape.   Lord knows we’re all preparing for the festive holiday 2 week long excursion into presents and ridiculous food.  But what are you doing to prepare for it?  Personally I’m just gonna let the chips fall where they may.  Hey, I’m not famous so what do I care???  Seriously though, many people are putting their best foot forward in order to stay in shape for the holidays.   Speaking of which, celebrities are having at it too.   So we decided to create a gallery of celebs working out.  Enjoy!

Some of The Wackiest Celebrity Pictures from 2012



It’s been a banner year for celebrities.  We’ve seen the best.   We’ve seen the worst.  And we’ve certainly seen the wacky.   I mean all you have to do is point to Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and the always reliable Paparazzi to know that celebrities will be human.  Afterall, they’re no different than you and me except that they make a lot more money.   Well, maybe they’re a bit different as evidenced by our gallery of the 25 wackiest celebrity pictures of 2012.  Credit to Buzzfeed for the

30 of the Funniest Celebrity Make-Unders



We’re not sure if any of you have ever been to the Facebook page “Planet Hiltron” but if you haven’t it’s a must see.  A while back these random images of celebrities gone “normal” started floating around the internet and they were so fun that they basically went viral.  Frankly they were a little bit offensive if you actually think about what their creator (Danny Evans) might have been saying about “normal” in America.
That being said, they’re still pretty hilarious.   We’ve managed to collect 30 of some of the funniest ones we could find.  We hope you get a chuckle out of these:

A Crazy Gallery of Celebrities as Pokemon Characters




I for one am not the craziest fan of Pokemon out there.  However I can’t deny the significance of the series nor its characters.  It’s like this insane club that tons of people are a part of but those who aren’t haven’t a clue as to why the people are, are.   Does that make any sense?
It’s kind of like people who just don’t know what emails are yet.  OK, bad example but I think you know where I’m coming from.  Anyway, I thought you guys would get a kick out of this crazy gallery of celebrities as Pokemon characters.  Thanks to Gusnyc for the pics.

Awesome Pictures of Justin Timberlake



As a male I don’t often speak of other males in a way that would make it seem like I’m in love with them.  But when it comes to Justin Timberlake the guy is just awesome.  I mean simply awesome.  The dude starts off on Disney.  Ends up with bleached blond hair in a boy band.  Then goes off on his own and kills it as a solo star.  Decides to try out acting but winds up being amazing at it and takes a nearly decade long hiatus only to come back stronger than ever on the music side.  Is there anything this dude can’t do?  I don’t think so.  In Justin’s honor we compiled a nice little 25 picture photo gallery for all you ladies (and dudes) out there.

20 of the Most Outrageous Outfits worn by Nicki Minaj



Funny because we haven’t really mentioned Nicki Minaj all that often on this site.  I’d like to mention her more but frankly she kind of irritates me on American Idol.  That being said you can’t ignore the style or as some might say lack thereof of Ms. Minaj.   In any event we felt it was necessary to make a gallery out of some of the more outrageous outfits that Minaj has worn over the years.  Check out 20 of them in the gallery below!

30 Amazing Pictures of Carrie Underwood



It’s very hard not to like Carrie Underwood.  From the moment we all saw her on American Idol we knew that her looks, talent, and personality would get her somewhere.   And clearly it did. Underwood has since become a multi-platinum selling recording artist, a winner of six Grammy Awards, sixteen Billboard Music Awards, seven American Music Awards and eleven Academy of Country Music Awards, among several others. As a songwriter, she has been nominated for a Golden Globe Award. Underwood is also a two-time winner of the Academy of Country Music Entertainer of the Year award and the first female artist to win such an award consecutively (2009/10). Underwood was inducted into and became a member of the Grand Ole Opry in 2008. She was also inducted into the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame in 2009.  And for that, we figured it was high time to provide you all with a great gallery of the beauty.
