Jamie Foxx can be best described as "Talented." He's a comedian, a singer and an actor. To be more specific, he's a very funny comedian, a Grammy nominated singer and an Academy Award winning actor, give or take a few other awards, too. Anything he does, he always gives 110%; his movies are always good, his music is always great and his jokes are always hilarious. Jamie is one of Hollywood's best actors and is able to fill movie theaters; keeps you laughing with his comedy shows and his past TV shows and dancing with his hit songs. To sum it all up, he's talented.

If you're a fan of Hip-Hop and mixtapes, you may have heard of his name. Clinton's creativity has lead him to become one of Hip-Hop's premier DJs and Producers. He's always been on the radio, from his hometown in Boston to nationwide and now worldwide with his award winning radio show, "SmashTime Radio." His mixtapes feature some of Hip-Hop's best artists and has produced songs with several big name artists, too. But, with all that said, Clinton doesn't want to be just another DJ with plenty of accolades to go along with his name, he's always looking to get more people familiar with him all the time. He's beginning to get the long deserved attention that he works for and is always on the rise to be on your radio, your TV and anything else he an get his name and of course his catch phrase "get familiar" on to. So, don't be left out when the World and probably the Universe has finally gotten familiar with Clinton Sparks.

A rising star in the big leagues, David Ortiz is becoming one of the most feared batters in the Majors. He plays for the Boston Red Sox and has become one of the most recognized athletes of Boston sports. He is known as the "Greatest Clutch Hitter in the History of Boston baseball" and perhaps all of baseball in recent years. Often looked down among baseball analysts, the designated hitter position, which is David's position, is being reinvented with David's power hitting. A possible MVP in the not too distant future, David already has a World Series ring and has captured the heart of not only Red Sox fans, but baseball fans in general, too, with his power and his team leadership.

What can you say, Kobe Bryant is the best player in the NBA. He leads his team, the Lakers, every game night against the best players in the world and the best teams in the league. His game is complete all around, he can shoot (obviously), he can pass the ball, he can rebound, he plays defense, and of course always makes the spectacular plays. He also contributes to his teammates by dishing them the ball and creates open shots for them, too, when double-teamed. Whether it's a regular season game or a playoff game, Kobe is always at the top of his game. Who else would you give the ball to with the game on the line but Kobe, he is amazing.

What do you get, when you add a comedian and a dozen musical artists and a neighborhood in Brooklyn, give up, you get Dave Chappelle's Block Party. An hour and a half filled with laughs and great music from Dave himself and some of the best Hip-Hop and neo-soul R&B artists today all together in Brookyln, New York. A good movie with Dave's comedy worked in with good music from Kanye West, Mos Def, Jill Scott, Common, Wyclef Jean and many more.

An arranged marriage is the last thing Prince Akeem wants, he has everything already, but he wants a bride of his own. So, with that, he decides to go out into the world and find his bride. That place turns out to be Queens, New York, perhaps not exactly what Akeem was expecting when he thought of the name. Arriving there along with his servant, he goes off to find the one woman that he wants to be with, but it's not as easy, since he wants to be seen as a normal person and not a Prince of an African country. He gets an apartment, a job and then when he finds the girl he truly loves, he tries his best to keep his true identity a secret from her. She soon discovers who he really is from her father, who discovers after Akeem's father, the King, makes a surprise visit. This movie is one of my all-time favorites, with a great cast, featuring Eddie Murphy, Arsenio Hall, James Earl Jones and John Amos. This movie has a nice dose of comedy and romance and is always a must see when it's on tv.

What if your dog or cat could talk, and you could talk to them, that's what Dr. John Dolittle does each day. After discovering he can communicate with animals, he uses that ability to help them. A very funny and imaginative view of the different animals and how they try to get the doc to help them with their problems, and how he tries to deal with the animals and also the attention he gets from others, his family and co-workers, that he can communicate with the animals. Overall, Dr. Dolittle is a good family comedy with talking animals, what more could you want.

Half Baked is a very funny movie. The obvious moral is, don't do drugs, but that's what the movie is set around. The up and coming comedian, Dave Chappelle, and his "pot-head" pals must find a way to get their other "pot-head" pal out of prison after an odd run in with the law. Lucky enough for Thurgood (Chappelle), he has an idea of how to get his friend out, though it's not the best idea in the world, but it works. At the same time, Thurgood is trying to balance his side job and his love life with a girl who doesn't know about his part-time job and what he and his friends are into. Overall, this movie is just funny and also in a way teaches the all important life lesson, don't do drugs.

Eddie Griffin is one of the all-time funniest stand-up comedians. His movies are great, his stand-up routines are just as good and he's really talented. As seen in his movie "DysFunktional Family," he can play the piano and he can dance really well. Eddie has starred in many movies, perhaps best known as the star in "Undercover Brother" as Undercover Brother (obviously) and had his own television show in the late '90s and has made countless guest appearances on many other television shows. Overall, he is just great a talented comedian and actor.

It's not an easy trip from high school to the NBA as we see in this documentary showcasing Coney Island's high school phenom, Sebastian Telfair. We get to see his daily routine, from his early practices, to his high school games, through the Championship, to the pressure of playing his best to impress the college recruiters and even the NBA recruiters. His decision to skip college and enter the NBA draft may have been an tough decision, but it's also a tough step-up. We see him playing in the McDonald's High School All-American game and going over seas to watch his brother play ball and train with him to prepare for the next level. This movie shows that it's not as easy as it looks, but he pushed himself and worked hard and is finally rewarded in getting drafted. Sebastian takes it and exceeds when it seemed near impossible and makes it to the NBA.

The Year of the Yao focuses on Yao Ming's journey from China to Houston after being drafted by the Rockets. We get to see the world through his eyes as he is learning about the NBA game, meeting his new teammates, preparing himself for his first game and adapting to living in America. Since he didn't speak much English, he has a translator who becomes his close friend to help him along the way. This movie not only shows us what goes on before and after the games, going on the road, and his personal life, but also shows how big of a role model and star he becomes not only in America, but also in his homeland, China.

Mars Attacks! is a good sci-fi comedy movie with a full line of Hollywood stars. If Aliens were to visit Earth, who knows what would happen, but this movie has it's take on the visitors from Mars. The movie takes place in multiple areas around the country, from different people, from the President and his family in the White House, to a family living in the desert, to a Vegas casino, to a woman who is anticipating the aliens arrival who has a talk show, and they all have their ways of trying to save themselves from the aliens. At first when the aliens land, it seemed like they were friendly, the next minute, they were opening fire. So of course the U.S. army had to fight back. I don't want to give away the the one thing that they seem to hate, that results in them dying, but one of the aforementioned groups helps in killing the remaining aliens who were terrorizing everyone. Overall, it's a good movie, with a good cast, filled with good laughs.

These are the Kings of Comedy, no more, no less. Four of the most hilarious stand-up comedians, who also had their own television shows, which are of course just as funny as their stand-up routines, take the stage in 2 hours of pure comedy. My personal favorite is Bernie Mac, I love it when he talks about taking care of his sister's children and how they get on his last nerve. Overall, this movie is two hours of side-splitting comedy, and they are the Kings.

DysFunktional Family is one of my favorite stand-up comedy movies and Eddie Griffin is so funny. While he's on stage doing his routine on topics varying from his family, church, meeting his father for the first time and sex, clips are shown in between featuring his family members talking about Eddie when he was growing up and Eddie going back to his hometown and visiting his high school. To say this movie is funny is a bit of an understatement, taken his comedy may not be for everyone and he may tend to use some profanity, this movie always makes me laugh when I see it.

Jay Leno has been the Tonight Show host for many years now, and has kept or has tried to keep the Tonight Show the late night number one talk show. Every weeknight Jay comes out with good material talking about what's going on in the news, around the country and the world. He always has the best guests and has a great musical performance at the end of each show. To go along with his monologues and interviews, each show he has a different segment, like Headlines on Monday which is my personal favorite, and Jay-Walking on Fridays which is also one of my favorite segments. The Tonight Show is a late night classic going back to the 60s with Johnny Carson, and Jay Leno is keeping the late night tradition alive and well.

Before he became a big time TV star with his own show named Chappelle's Show obviously, he started out in stand up. Dave has to be one of the funniest comedians today. His stand up specials bring the house down, the crowd loves him. His jokes are great and most of his material is from everyday things and he may use it in his show as well. Dave may say a lot of racist type jokes, he talks about race a lot in his stand up, but it's funny, he doesn't do it to make others feel unconfortable. His show is a hit, everyone who is a fan of his is anticipating another season of his show, and I'm sure it's going to be all that we are hoping for and more. The second season of his show took his career to a new level and with this time off, the upcoming season should pick up where the last one left off.

Derek Jeter is one of the best baseball players today, he plays for one of the best teams, if not the best team of all-time, the Yankees. That puts a lot of pressure on a player, playing in front of a large crowd in a major city, and he has accepted the pressure of being a Yankee. He's won gold gloves for his defense at shortstop, and has been the lead-off hitter for most of his career up to last season. He's a tough out for any pitcher since he has a high on-base percentage, and he's not afraid to test the catcher's arm strength to steal a base or 2 in a game. Overall Derek Jeter plays the positon of team captain well, and leads his team each night to the expectations of their fans.

Before the allegations of steroid use, Barry Bonds was already among the greatest in baseball. He's won numerous gold gloves for his defense in left field, and he's won numerous MVP awards, and batting titles. He is one of few to have hit 500 homeruns and steal 500 bases, and with all other major accomplishments in his career and the one everyone is anticipating is the homerun record. Whether or not he's "cheated" as some may say he still has proven that he is still one of the best to hit a baseball. By passing his Godfather Willie Mays and reaching 700 homeruns he is way ahead of the competition, and as his career reaches it's end, some may look past the steroid stories and see that he's already been one of the all-time greats. Hate him or love him he will be remembered in many ways in the future.
