All in the family - Celebrities

1 → The Baldwins

We've got Alec, William, Stephen and Daniel Baldwin on this list, and how could they not be? These guys from New York have made names for themselves in the acting world.

2 → Martin Sheen, Charlie Sheen & Emilio Estévez

I never knew Emilio was related to the Sheens! The last name does the trick, eh? He didn't take his father's last name due to wanting to gain success by himself and it happened.

3 → Goldie Hawn & Kate Hudson

They're both blonde and share the same smile. Infact, they both won the 'Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress - Motion Picture', Hawn's movie was 'Cactus Flower' and Hudson's was 'Almost Famous'. They have never been in a film together.

4 → Bruce & Brandon Lee

Bruce Lee was known for his marital arts work on film and his son, Brandon, was best known for playing Eric Draven in 'The Crow'. Tragically, after Bruce died in 1973, his son followed 20 years later. Many theories have been made about their untimely deaths.

5 → Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen

They are the ultimate give-in. Next!

6 → John & Joan Cusack

Most of the Cusack family has been interested in the world of movies. They each have their own claim to fame, but have no problem working together on film. Together, they star in 'Martian Child', 'Cradle Will Rock', and 'War, Inc.'.

7 → The Wayans Brothers

Keenen Ivory, Marlon. Shawn and Damon Wayans started in the acting business since the 80's and 90's. They've been a part of both sitcoms and movies; 'Blank Man', 'Scary Movie' series, 'White Chicks', 'Little Man' and more.

8 → Angelina Jolie & Jon Voight

He became a star in the 1970's and she got her first leading role in 1995 in the movie, 'Hackers'. The first film they starred in together was 'Lookin' to Get Out' in 1982. He played her father in 'Lara Croft: Tomb Raider', but since then, she has estranged herself from her father and they currently still aren't in touch. The funny thing about these two is that Voight and I have the same birthday and people tell me I look like Angelina. Whack!

9 → Luke & Owen Wilson

First came Luke, then came Owen. They both starred in 'Rushmore', 'Bottle Rocket', and 'The Royal Tenenbaums' together.

10 → Jake & Maggie Gyllenhaal

They're siblings in real life and played brother and sister in the 2001 film, 'Donnie Darko'. Did you know Jamie Lee Curtis [who also comes from famous parents] is Jake's godmother?

Most common Christmas decorations

1 → Christmas Tree

It's the obvious #1 Christmas decoration! I love decorating them [except for the fact that I have a million cats who'd love to wreck the tree]. Better invest in some plastic ornaments!

2 → Christmas Lights

They are my favorite part of knowing when Christmas is near, although they can be a pain in the butt if the wires get all tangled up!

3 → Ornaments

Ornaments come in different shapes and sizes, but are commonly the round, colorful balls. You can create your own ornaments so that they are passed down in your family.

4 → Outdoor Displays

These are fun for any season, but for Christmas, you've got your inflatable snowglobe and your Santa/sleigh/reindeer holographic light displays!

5 → Snowmen

I personally was never good at making snowmen, but they are an adorable [and free] outdoor decoration!

6 → Candy Canes

They could either be found hanging off a Christmas tree or taped to a Christmas card envelope. Either way, this yummy treat gives out the holiday vibe.

7 → Wreaths

Since wreaths, in general, aren't just used for Christmas, a ribbon [usually red] signifys when it's being used as a Christmas decoration. Holly is also used within wreaths.

8 → Mistletoe

As the story goes, if two people were to walk under a mistletoe, they'd have to share a kiss. So, if the holiday spirit doesn't make you joyful enough, just walk under a mistletoe :)

9 → Christmas Stockings

These sock-shaped bags are hung during the holiday season in homes [extra goodies from Santa?] I've only had one Christmas stocking before; and it was '101 Dalamation'-themed. So, even if you don't have a fireplace, you can hang a stocking anywhere!

10 → Nutcrackers

These wooden nutcrackers have been around for quite some time and are used mostly around Christmas, both as a decoration and the purpose of its' name. Enough said.


What do you decorate your homes with around Christmas time?

Top ten HIM songs

1 → Right Here in My Arms

[Watch The Music Video]
From the album 'Razorblade Romance'
This was the first HIM video I saw back before they were known in the US and it's been my favorite HIM song since.

2 → Wicked Game

[Watch The Music Video]
From the album 'And Love Said No: The Greatest Hits 1997-2004'
Chris Isaak sang this song first when it came out in 1989, but when HIM covered it, I couldn't help but to love it just as much as the original.

3 → Join Me in Death

[Watch The Music Video]
From the album 'Razorblade Romance'
This song has that 'Romeo + Juilet' vibe to it; it also has 4 different video versions.

4 → Razorblade Kiss

From the album 'Razorblade Romance'
I wish they had a video for this song. I definitely had an idea for a concept of one. Shucks! Great song, though.

5 → Killing Loneliness

[Watch The Music Video]
From the album 'Dark Light'
The video for this song does indeed have Kat Von D gracing the camera. I absolutely love the set-up of the video.

6 → Heartache Every Moment

[Watch The Music Video]
From the album 'And Love Said No: The Greatest Hits 1997-2004'
'From lashes to ashes and from lust to dust' is my favorite lyric from this song, even if it's about the end of a relationship.

7 → Rebel Yell

[Watch The Video]
From the single 'Buried Alive By Love'
Another song covered by HIM, this time the original singer is Billy Idol. I think it's a great cover.

8 → And Love Said No

[Watch The Music Video]
From the album 'And Love Said No: The Greatest Hits 1997-2004'
This HIM song feels so heart-grabbing. You could feel so much emotion in a vague way when you listen to this -- especially if you can relate to it.

9 → Resurrection

[Watch The Live Video]
From the album 'Razorblade Romance'
This is my 2nd favorite HIM song about a love that can't work, but is desired to work it out and keep going.

10 → The Funeral of Hearts

[Watch The Music Video]
From the album 'Love Metal'
'When angels cry blood': in LOVE with that lyric; it's a wonderful song. According to Ville Valo, the song is about "that all things come to and end - but that their ending should be celebrated, not mourned."

Top ten Nickelodeon shows from the 90's

1 → The Ren & Stimpy Show

You can tell that this cartoon was not like the others, it had a different humor we probably didn't understand when we were younger. At least it's still funny when we watch it now! It lasted 5 seasons.

2 → Rocko's Modern Life

It began in 1993 and ended in 1996; was also made into a comic book. If I can recall correctly, there was a neighborhood dog that looked just like Spunky..and named Spunky. Too good to be true.

Who doesn't love the football head?! I remember one episode where they had my name in it *blush* This show has been on air from 1996 - 2004. Come back?

4 → Are You Afraid Of The Dark?

Don't deny that you got scared when watching this when you were younger! I still remember the one episode that freaked me out, and I'm not telling! :P

5 → All That

'All That' had different but funny skits and also had music performances. It's actually returning to TV next year. Hello reruns!

6 → Salute Your Shorts

The show's theme song = all the description you need to remember.

7 → The Secret World of Alex Mack

I loved Alex Mack, so much that I wrote her fanmail and got her autograph in the mail, haha. Her turning into a silver liquid?! Classic.

8 → Clarissa Explains It All

It had the teenage point of view and all, but who could forget the ladder outside Clarissa's window?!

9 → Double Dare

Two words: MARC SUMMERS! This show was fun.

10 → Wild and Crazy Kids

They had teams in which were determinded by the color of their shirts. it didn't last very long, but it was fun to watch.

Ten foods that are good for your body

1 → Tea

I know this isn't food, but it belongs on this list. Personally, I love drinking tea. I'm a coffee lover, but tea [in general] is much better for you. Ever hear when you're sick, your mom or your dad saying to have a cup of tea [maybe with lemon] to help your cold? Yup, it's the tea that helps out.

2 → Vegetables

They may seem boring, but sheesh, they help your body out! There's all sorts of goodies in the vegetable bunch. I'm not a fan of carrots, but they actually help out your eyesight. Veggies contain lots of vitamins.

3 → Fruits/Citrus

Eating fruits throughout the day helps give your body proper fiber and vitamin C, especially at work. When you think you're tired to the point of bopping your head on the desk, snack on grapes, an orange or a peach.

4 → Salmon

The only kind of salmon I've ever eaten was the Philadelphia Salmon Spread when I was kid, so I'm not sure if that counts? But, I heard salmon gives you glowy skin and is good for you in general.

5 → Nuts/Seeds

Due to the amount of oil nuts have, they help give you energy.

6 → Whole Grains

They got fiber, protein, and minerals and the best part is that it may help prevent heart disease, some cancers, obesity and diabetes. So, try eating a peanut and butter sandwich with whole grain bread!

7 → Lean Proteins

When you think of lean products, you think protien. It helps regain tissue and building muscle.

8 → Berries

Strawberries, blueberries, blackberries and raspberries; oh my! These berries are believed to help in memory. They are very high in fiber and vitamins, so be sure to eat some for breakfast!

9 → Olive Oil

It's mostly used as a base for boiling water for spaghetti, salads, sauces and more. It's good for your cholesterol [lowers the bad cholesterol] and it's a great substitute for unsaturated fats [like butter!].

10 → Beans/Peas/Peanuts/Lentils

These provide calcium, iron, zinc and more. These also help prevent or slow down any growth of tumors/cancer/etc. Vegetarians eat most of this also to get soy. I'm a fan of the green peas :)

3 → Neve Campbell

She's the face of the 'Scream' movie series and was on 'Part of Five' for 7 years before that.

Just like her 'Party of Five' co-star, Hewitt also starred in scary teen movies like 'I Know What You Did Last Summer'. Other films include, 'Can't Hardly Wait', 'Heartbreakers', and 'House Arrest'.

5 → Kirsten Dunst

Top ten most recognizable women in music

Top ten most recognizable women in music

1 → Madonna

I think this is obvious. Next :]


2 → Debbie Harry

In the mid-1970's, Blondie was born and a fashion icon was made and her name is Debbie Harry. Her style has quickly been recongized with the word 'punk' and still does to this day,

3 → Britney Spears

Though she may be going through a rough patch right now, Britney Spears has came and transformed the pop scene. She's a craze to the entertainment world.

4 → Mariah Carey

Mariah hasn't changed much; she still looks the same and has the same amazing voice in which she still uses. Just hopefully, she won't go back to acting :P

5 → Cyndi Lauper

What is there to say about Cyndi that doesn't show in the picture above? She's an amazing, care-free woman and performer.

6 → Gwen Stefani

She used to 'just a girl', but she's grown with ever-changing style that makes you remember what she has achieved in her lifetime.

7 → Cher

Out of the bunch, I think Cher equally has had a 'few' crazy outfits as Cyndi Lauper. We know her best from performing with Sonny Bono with their hit, 'I Got You, Babe'. Her voice and style have made her one of the most recongizable women in music.

8 → Christina Aguilera

Christina has also gone through changes of style: bubble gum popster, 'dirrty' and now classic mom-to-be. I believe when it comes to her, you either love her or hate her.

9 → Shirley Manson

Being the lead singer of Garbage since 1994, Shirley has helped the scene, along with Gwen Stefani, of having girls wanting to play music. Though she used to be bullied due to her hair color in school, she has certainly inspired girls today to be themselves and nobody else.

10 → Joan Jett

She loves rock 'n roll and is still performing to this day. She influences young girls to play instruments and be in bands to continue to spread inspiration.
