She took acting classes at age 12 with her first role in the film “Camp Nowhere” where played a prominent role. She was voted by Askmen.com in 2006 to be one of the most sexiest women in the world taking the top spot in 2007 in FHM Magazine. She had a stint with Playboy which she claimed used her photos as part of their front cover in March 2006.

Michael Austin Cera, was born on the 7th of June 1988 in Ontario Canada. His father was a Scillian, and an employee of the Xerox company. He has two sisters. He first appeared in a Summer Camp commercial for Tim Horton. He played the young Chuck Barris in “Confessions of a Dangerous Mind” in 2002 and also did the voice of Brother Bear in the animated series The Bernstein Bears. His interest in the internet drew him to produce short videos which he and a friend worked on together and posted on YouTube. This in turn got the attention of CBS Broadcasting who signed a contract with them to write, direct and produce a series of short films they intended to use as promotional videos in their new InnerTube.com site which they hope would become a challenger for Youtube. He has appeared in a total of 6 films since 2000, with 2 slated for 2008 and 2 again for 2009.

During M-G-M’s heyday as a studio, the end title of every film read “Made in Hollywood, U.S.A.” though not every American film is or was made in Hollywood, the bulk of American cinema is the product of a specific mode of production which was perfected in Hollywood and which consists of a unique combination of various ingredients.

So what am I talking about again?

That Hollywood is where movies are made, and where dreams come true.

What about Hollywood life? Well, that just means that living the Hollywood life may be Out Of This World, or something else?

Last year, Larry King said that if he were to choose his successor, he would choose Ryan Seacrest. The only potential bump in the road, as it were (besides the fact that CNN doesn’t plan to continue with Larry King’s show after he retires… or suffers cardiac arrest), is the difficulty Seacrest might have doing hard hitting interviews with pretty much anybody outside the entertainment industry.

How would he do if he were to interview world leaders?

Assuming that CNN does choose to continue with a Larry King-style show and assuming that Ryan Seacrest is taken as the successor to Larry King, let’s see how well he would do.

What has Seacrest been up to in the past year?

American Idol
On Air with Ryan Seacrest
E! News Live
Super Bowl XLII

This guy is Larry King’s hand-picked replacement?

Well, given the current US presidential election is nothing more than an exercise in showbiz, it seems befitting.

Seacrest. Out.

Ahh Yes…Meet MacGyver the uber geek…the idol of engineers, the basis of geeks, a cool but techie, resourceful in a very, Renaissance man -like manner and fashion, he uses his knowledge of science, technology and outdoorsmanship to resolve what are often life or death crises. With nothing but a Swiss Army Knife and a roll of duct tape.

Who is MacGyver

A man who also had an ability to fix things with everyday objects, IMHO the basis of geeks as far as I can tell. Macgyver’s weapon of choice a Victorinox Swiss Army Knife, and your simple everyday duct tape commonly known, to some degree, as “MacGyver-tape”.

MacGyver according to Wikipedia
Angus MacGyver is a highly intelligent, optimistic action hero who prefers non-violent conflict resolution wherever possible. He refuses to carry or use a gun due to a childhood accident with a revolver that resulted in the death of a friend.

–Really, I never knew his name was Angus? Watching Macgyver as a kid, all I can remember that he always introduced himself as Macgyver, “My name is Macgyver”, his friends never called him by his first name, always Macgyver, and that sticked in my mind.

Macgyver according to the Dilbert Principle
MacGyver is in the list of Sexually Irresistable Men in technical professions. Macgyver is part of the geek life, Engineer are like Dilbert and they idolize and tend to be like Macgyver…

–And as Pete (Dana Elcar) would say “His name is MacGyver. He can fix anything. He could fix a computer with a hairpin and a piece of duct tape.”

Impact of Macgyver in Culture

This coined the words :

MacGyverisms — thinking like, being like … who else Macgyver…

to do MacGyver — to do something that Macgyver would do when a situation calls upon you to do the impossible. Fixing something by adapting locally-available parts…

a MacGyver — a person who is knowledgable or skilled at a technical subject…

Now if ever you are in a situation where the world is against you, remain calm, think positively, think geek, think uber-geek, think like MacGyver and always remember the words… WWMD? or What Would Macgyver do?…

MacGyver has 7 seasons.. ohh I wish there was more…

Interesting Macgyver Sites:

Oh why are we all so addicted to the “glamorous” lives of celebrities?

I used to hate seeing news & reading about the personal lives of actors & actresses, but something happened and now I am hooked. It’s like watching a drama/documentary/comedy/horror film all rolled into one. No, I’m not talking about the reality shows they have. I am talking about the hundreds of celebrity blogs that have popped up in the internet world.

I don’t know about you, but it is so addictive. I love how colorful their lives are, but I don’t wish to have it. I love the fact that no matter how serious they seem to be, in the end they are still idiots.

And we are all idiots for following their lives.
