Dick Clark was a true icon of the 20th Century!
Dick Clark was a truly classic, stylish, famous millionaire celebrity. He was not the type of guy that you would see hawking a new book, or trashing other celebrities. Dick Clark had class. Dick Clark was the man.
That's they way I will always remember Dick Clark as a truly classic, stylish kind of guy who had great spirit and determination.
Dick Clark, was called, "America's oldest teenager", because he was the host of American Bandstand for thirty years, and he looked the same age for many years. That is until he had a stroke in December of 2004. At first Clark wanted everyone to think he only had a mild stroke, but it became apparent after Clark could not appear on his Rocking New Year's Eve show that same year, that he did not have a mild stoke. Clark admitted later on that he had to learn how to do the simplest things again, like walking, talking, and doing what everyone else takes for granted everyday.
I remember watching Dick Clark's American Bandstand show when I was an impressionable young teenager. But once college started and MTV came along, I was too busy and engrossed with life to watch it anymore. I loved watching American Bandstand. The show served as awesome glimpse into the pop music of that era.
It was fun to watch the show with America's oldest teenager interviewing Madonna, Michael Jackson, Rick James, and many other notable hit making stars from the 1960's,70's and the 1980's. Dick Clark seemed very comfortable talking to pop stars of the day, asking them various questions like asking Madonna what she wanted to do with her life. Her answer was something of a shock as she stated, "I want to rule the world."
I loved watching American Bandstand when Dick Clark would interview teens and young adults asking them to rate songs and give a short review of them. The answers were awesome when kids answered with, "I give it an eight Dick, because it had a good beat, and I could dance to it."
I watched American Bandstand faithfully every Saturday until I grew up, becoming too old to sit and watch the show. You know that job thing got in the way, I guess.
When Dick Clark announced on his New Year's Eve Rocking show that he had a stroke I was grossed out. I said things like, "How could he go on TV like that?" But after having a stroke in 2009, I realized how incredibly brave he was to do that and what a truly great man Dick Clark was. He didn't seem to care if he was gorgeous enough to go on TV, he just did it.
And that my friends is what made Dick Clark a truly classy, down to earth, regular kind of guy! Copyright 2012, written by talented freelance writer Kate Johns.

Ten Celebrities we love to hate by Kate Johns
Celebrities we love to hate.
After seeing some major celebrities having public meltdowns, or acting like stupid fools in public I thought "I really strongly dislike that woman."
It's strange how you can hate a celebrity so much you feel the need to start a Facebook page about her or him that is not exactly a fan Facebook page.
Ten celebrities we love to hate:
1. Topping celebrities we love to hate has to be Madonna. Madonna is so wealthy she could buy a small country. But in reality she is so cheap she will not help her homeless brother, or pay for her relatives airfare to come visit her in England. I read her brother Christopher's biography about her, and he dished on what Madonna is really like.
2.Supermodel Gisele Bunchden, aka Mrs. Brady makes more money than her husband by modeling and personally I'd like to know why. She is not pretty, has no major curves. In fact Gisele is rather skinny, and recently she begged for all of Tom Brady's friends and relatives to pray and send good thoughts so he wins the Super bowl, because he needs this win.
3.Love him or hate him, Steven Tyler is here to stay. Since joining the cast of American Idol, Steven Tyler has been everywhere. We adored Aerosmith in the 1970's, but Steven's constant quips about women and bad singing vibes, are too much to handle. I liked Steven better when we saw and heard less from the master front man.
4.Miley Cyrus always struck me as being just a bit too obnoxious for her own good. When she starred in Disney's Hannah Montana I had to leave the room, to get away from her nasal voice. Doesn't it bother anyone that she really can not sing?
5.Naomi Campbell has been modeling for years and she has been beating up her staff of hired helpers for nearly as long. Naomi Supermodel Campbell was born in 1970, is beautiful outside, but not inside, and is a celebrity that definitely belongs on this celebrities we love to hate list.
6. Would a celebrities we love to hate list be complete if Simon Cowell were not on it? Simon Cowell says what he feels, and feels what he says, and that is what a judge of talent is supposed to do. Many millions of people strongly dislike Simon Cowell. But if that's the case, then why do we watch American Idol?
7. Here's one that might surprise you----Conan O' Brien. I have watched his talk show and found him to be lacking in funny jokes. He just seemed obnoxious, like a little kid, making little kid fart jokes, in a big ugly guy's body. That's why I put him on my celebrities we love to hate list.
8. Demi Moore has made my celebrities we love to hate list because she married a guy 25 years younger than herself, she does drugs and is trying desperately to still look and act young. You're almost 50 Demi, it's time to act your age. Besides the woman admitted on David Letterman's talk show that she uses leaches on her skin to purify her blood. Crazy celebrity alert!!!
9. Is it just me or does Hugh Hefner creep you out? Doesn't anyone think it is gross, creepy, weird that a man who is about 80 is sleeping with big breasted blondes so that they can become playmates of the year? Yuckkkk!
10. Chelsea Handler. When she first arrived on TV, she was funny. Not anymore. Her routine has become ultra dull. Besides the comedians that appear on her show are funnier than her. Who gave Chelsea Handler this show and why is she a millionaire?
There are more celebrities we love to hate, admit it, but this is only a top ten list. Maybe I'll create another celebrities we love to hate list in a few months including Kate Moss, Ashton Kutcher, and Bob Geldorf.

Top 5 Worst Millionaire Actresses by Kate Johns
I bet you can think of at least five women that are millionaires that are also the worst actresses today. I bet you can make your own top five list.
If only we could all agree on who those five are. There are probably over a hundred that really and truly are totally without talent. You sit there watching a movie and wonder, why is this woman starring in this movie? Sometimes when a celeb is so bad, you can't even concentrate on the movie and you wonder why you fell for buying tickets to it. Not to mention how bad reality TV has become with women who are supposed to be real people, who are acting out a part.
While there are actresses who are so wonderful at what they do, such as Goldie Hawn and her daughter Kate Hudson who are truly hilarious actresses, that they seem to really be like that in real life. There are some women who were born to grace the silver screen such as Marilyn Monroe and at least five who are the topd five worst actresses:
1. Mariah Carey. I can't even remember the name of the movies she starred in, but I think she wrote one also. Don't get me wrong, Mariah Carey has a stellar set of pipes and is without a doubt very deserving of being the best selling female recording artist of all time. But, sorry to say, she can't act, and one of her flicks was a major box office flop. Just what were those movies called, Sparkle, or was that Purple Rain?
2. Helen Hunt only has one range of acting and that is showing the same face for the entire movie. She can't act. And in the movie, Castaway with Tom Hanks, she stumbled with her accents, going from Southern Belle to Boston Mama. Helen Hunt starred in the TV show Mad About You, and even though it was critically acclaimed and had millions of viewers, I found it disturbing that she never reached a new range accept besides straight faced.
3. Madonna is one of the top recording artists of all time, besides Mariah Carey. Her musical career has spanned three decades of hit making acclaim. But, Madonna can't act. She is directionless and it is rather strange to watch her wander around clueless. Madonna is fifty and she can sing, and a dance like a teenager, but she she doesn't have that certain big screen quality.
4. Besides Britney Spears being a talented singer or is that dancer, she can't act. Wasn't she in a movie somewhere along the line about a teenager? It was even awful to see the trailer for this movie. I felt embarrassed for her, even though I knew she was already a millionaire.
5. I have one question. Why is Kim Kardashian even on television? She just talks and talks and doesn't say a thing. She's more famous for her sex tape and her large behind than anything else. She has literally become part of pop culture because she starred in her own sex tape, and on three reality TV shows. Kim Kardashian has no discernible talent, except looking good, and is classified in the Paris Hilton category of millionaires who are famous for doing absolutely nothing.
Of course there are more top worst actresses such as Lindsay Lohan, Snooki. With new reality TV shows coming down the pike and the Housewives of series, you can bet your bottom dollar that there will be plenty more worst actresses to choose from in the future.
