By

Hollywood scandals aren’t a rare and unusual creature to discover. They happen all the time. Let’s face it.

Here’s a quick low-down of what celebrities have been stirring up trouble in the last few weeks.

Actor John Stamos

Be on eye level with your subject

Direct eye contact engages your subject. Being at eye level with a person will bring out the intimacy of genuine interaction. Those personal smiles and intimate gazes will be communicated in your photography when taken from a face to face perspective. Your subject doesn’t even need to look directly into the lens, the eye level angle will make your photo personal and inviting all by itself.

Use your flash outdoors

Most people assume that if they are in the sunshine that their photo will be well lit when exposed. The problem with that is shadows. When the angle of the light source is behind the subject, your subject can appear dark in the photo. You will want to use a fill flash option (if your camera offers that setting) in a sunny setting and a full flash option on a cloudy day to avoid creating dark shadows on your subject’s face.

Medical dramas have been a staple of prime time television for decades. Hundreds of doctors have graced the small screen, but a few have stood out from the rest.

Marcus Welby

One of the first iconic TV doctors (the show Marcus Welby, M.D. debuted in 1969), Dr. Welby was known for going above and beyond physical treatment to connect personally with his patients. The show — led by actor Robert Young’s Dr. Welby—dealt with a range of groundbreaking issues, including rape, autism, and addiction, all alongside his younger counterpart, Steven Kiley.

Leonard ‘Bones’ McCoy

He was known for relying heavily on the power of the human body to heal itself instead of solely on medicine and technology. Never shy to speak his mind, he was also known for getting into confrontations with his colleagues aboard the Starship Enterprise. He was serious about his medical duties and would respond to an odd job request with his trademark, “I’m a doctor, not a _____.” [Read more…]

Female Celebrities Proud of their Cosmetic Makeover

By

The buzz on cosmetic surgery among celebrities hogged the limelight once again when actress Renee Zellwegger came out in an event with a different look. In fact, many did not recognize the female star because her face was totally different from what her colleagues and movie fans would normally see when still very active in the movie scene.

Although she did not confirm having undergone cosmetic treatment, Zellwegger told People magazine she’s happy and comfortable with herself amid speculations of her new look during the 21st annual Elle Women in Hollywood Awards. The 45-year-old actress only confirmed that she’s “living a different, happy and more fulfilling life.”

Kudos, however, to female stars who are open about what they’ve enhanced in the different parts of their body. There are many of them and we share some of the famous women in showbiz who are proud of this. [Read more…]

Oprah, who’s a regular at the Forbes list both as a top-earner and her power player, has lost her place before but has now laid claim to her throne once again. Though her earnings went down drastically this year, from $165 million to $77 million, it has not affected her influence as she continues to be mentioned in the press and social media. Aside from her undiminished power and fame, Oprah’s revenue dip has not affected her purchasing power. Sure, she claims that the $38,ooo crocodile bag that sparked much controversy is too expensive for her taste, but she’s willing to spend millions on something she values – her home. In fact, she’s had home renovations done on her already super expensive house, increasing the value from $50 million to a whopping $85 million. And because of that, she now lays claim to yet another record, being the Hollywood celebrity with the priciest home.
