What gvmt incompetence, corruption in India looks like - storing liquor instead of food ...

1. Are you a professional performer?

2. Do you carry public liability insurance? Accidents can and do happen.

3. Are you CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) Police checked? You don’t want a criminal at your children’s party.

4. What range entertainment do you provide?

5. What games are played? Are the children “out” or involved throughout all the games? It’s most important the children are not “out” as they’ll have nothing to do while the rest of game continues.

6. Is the entertainment varied? A one hour magic show is a long time for a child to sit through however good it may be. However, split the show up with puppets, magic tricks and balloon modelling and even a disco and one or two hours will fly by.

7. Are you a member of any magic societies or organisations like Equity? (Equity is the Union of Performers and Artists) Although this is not a guarantee of quality of work, it will be safer than hiring someone who is not a professional.

8. Do you have a website? If so, have a look at it to see how professional the entertainer looks.

9. Speak to the entertainer on the phone. If they come across well on the phone, they should come across well on the day.

10. Don’t focus on price. All of the things mentioned above, insurance, memberships etc cost money and have to be paid for so the professional performer will sometimes be a little more expensive than someone performing as a hobby. This does not mean all amateur entertainers are bad, but if they are not insured or checked you could leave yourself open to a claim, or even worse have no entertainer on the day because their day job has taken preference over your booking.

I hope you have found this useful and of help in organising your party or event.

How to play modern warfare 2 for FREE!!!!!!! ...

Dress Code

One of the advantages of being a guest entertainer is that we have passenger status
while on the ship, allowing us in to public areas where other crew members are not
allowed. We get to mix and mingle with passengers and over the years you will keep
meeting the repeat passengers and you can develop some very nice relationships.
On ships they usually have dress codes such as semi-formal and formal nights. You
are still employed by the cruise line, and like being employed in any job you are an
ambassador for the company, therefore you are expected to adhere to the dress
code for the evening and also dress in a smart and appropriate manner during
daytime hours.
Formal nights most men will wear tuxedos and the ladies are dressed in evening
gowns, on other nights I always wear a dress shirt and smart pants.

Gratuities

You are expected to pay gratuities to your cabin steward at passenger rates at the
end of the cruise. On some ships where we are in staff areas then the gratuities are
sleightly less because they only come in once a day and you won’t get the full
service as if you would if you were in a passenger area.
If you eat in the dining room then you must tip your waiter and busboy. As a rule if I
chose to eat in the dining room I always tip after my meal, but that isn’t very often
as I usually eat in the Buffet or Bistro.
On the ships now they often have an automatic charge of $10 per person per day
gratuity added to your bill, however you do not have to pay this unless you chose to.
This is what the passengers pay and it covers all gratuities including the dining
room. As I said, I never eat in the dining room and so only my cabin steward gets a
gratuity. If we chose to eat in another restaurant on the ship, rather than the buffet,
then of course we leave a tip. They usually recommend $3.50 per day for the cabin
steward in passenger areas.

Dining

You are allowed to dine in the passenger dining room and a buffets. Priority to
passengers must always be observed.

Usually the maitre d’ will have a special table put aside for guest entertainers,
although on many ships they have placed us with passengers. There are usually two
main sittings, one at 6pm and the other at 8.15pm. On the modern ships now they
promote open dining so you no longer have to have a seating assignment. Also with
the larger ships there is much more choice of dining from 24 hour Lido, Pizzeria,
Italian Restaurants, Chinese Restaurants and a Steak House. Of course each ship
differs with various restaurants. On the larger ships there will be a cover charge in
some restaurants such as the steak house charges $15.00 for the meal, the Italian
restaurant charges $25.00 per meal. All crew and passengers pay the same amount
to go to these specialality restaurants.

On vessels with alternate dining facilities, a cover charge will be made to all staff,
guest entertainers, and officers which are usually no more than $2.00. When you
join ask if there is such a list with the various charges, or ask another guest
entertainer who can tell you.

Dining in the officers’ mess is by invitation only.

Gambling

Ships are now like traveling resorts with all types of activities, one of the most
popular is the casino. You will need to check out what the rules are pertaining to
gambling on the ship you are to be working, but I know that the rules for the
company I work for state that guest entertainers and their guests and NOT
permitted to gamble onboard. This includes the casino, bingo, horse racing, and any
other gambling activities.
Note: Update, as of re-reading this article Guest Entertainers are NOW allowed to
gamble in the casino for the cruise line I work for.

Laundry and Dry Cleaning

Again, this varies from company to company, something you will need to check.
Ships are equipped with passenger laundrys where you can do your own washing.
However be warned … they can be dangerous. Many comedians joke about going to
the laundry room and seeing fights and arguments as passengers try to get hold of
a washing machine or dryer. Depending on the ship you might be allowed to use the
officers or crew laundry room which will not be so bad, but always check to make
sure it is okay. If you wish you send your laundry out for cleaning, then Guest
Entertainers are charge at the crew rate for their laundry and dry cleaning, again
check the regulations for the cruise line you are to be working for.

Medical

In most cases the company does not provide medical coverage and I strongly
recommend for you to arrange your own medical and health insurance plan. In my
contract it states that in the event of illness or injury during the term of the
contract, guest entertainers agree to look exclusively to their medical and health
insurers for payment of medical benefits and not to, in any way, hold the company
liable for such payments.
Visits to the ships doctor can be very expensive which is why medical insurance is
important, especially when traveling overseas.
If on the crew list then more often that not a visit to the doctor will not cost
anything, and if they want you to get an injection such as Yellow Fever of the Flu
Injection then they will not charge. It all depends on the doctor and ships policy.

To see Paul Romhany on stage is to witness a magical transformation. While his skills and artistry as an illusionist are unsurpassed, Paul takes his performance to another dimension when he applies makeup as the audience watches, suddenly leaving behind Paul Romhany and becoming Charlie Chaplin. It is a mesmerizing spectacle as “The Little Tramp”, Chaplin’s most famous character, emerges to complete the illusion.

Paul Romhany got his start in his native New Zealand, earning his degree in music from Auckland University. A piano certificate from London’s Royal College of Music followed, but Paul’s passion remained in theatre. Soon he was travelling the globe performing to universal acclaim and recognition with such awards as Entertainer of the Year in his home country and International Gold Medal Magic Champion in 2003. He has performed in over 50 countries and 17 national television appearances including two years on New Zealand Television with a double magic act. visit:http://www.chaplinmagic.com

Entertainment : Limited to Indian Entertainment Industry also known as Bollywood (visual arts, movies)

Big B : Amitabh Bachchan elder son of Harivansh Rai, he graduated in Arts from Delhi University. Born in October of 1942 when the British rule was beginning to lose power in India, Big B is close to 65 years in age.

For the first time Big B appeared in Saat Hindustani, the movie itself did not do that well at box office, but Mr Bachchan did not give up. Soon his couple of films Zanzeer and Deewar did very well and since that time there was no looking back. Well the time was also changing for Indian Entertainment Industry, where there was a slow drift from romantic movies to action movies. At this time in mid 70’s Big B was the first person to be acknowledged as “the angry young man” of Indian cinema, while his predecessors of those times such as Rajesh Khanna, Sanjeev Kumar and Dharmendra used to play more off romantic roles. In Late 80’s Big was attached to his name and he was popularly known as Big B thereafter.

Turning point for Big B : Mr Bachchan his career : Zanjeer (1973). This movie gave him acclaim and made him a superstar.

Mr Bachchan injured himself badly during the shooting of a film Coolie. Well he had been extremely lucky to get away with it. He returned with a big bang and Coolie was a super duper hit of all times. So far Mr Bachchan has played in more than 70 movies.

All time favorite movies from Big B

1. Deewar, Suhaag

2. Muqaddar Ka Sikander

3. Namak Halal

4. Sharabi

5. Amar Akber Anthony.

Some of the famous dialogues from Big B’s movies

1. A Person runs only twice in his life. Either its Olympics or Police is behind him. Why are you running brother? – Amar Akbar Anthony

2. Can pain of heart be seen from face? Pain of heart cannot be seen from face. – Sharaabi

3. If you have moustache it should be like Nathulal otherwise do not have it. – Sharabi

4. Where ever I stand the queue starts from there. – Kaaliya

5. Sooryavansh is a fire which has unlimited love for friends and have enough heat for enemies. Roast the enemy. – Sooryavansham

Rare Flops from Big B

1. Aks

2. Reshma Aur Shera

3. Parwana

Today also Big B is one of the most busy actors in Bollywood, where roles are specially being written to suit him. Even his recently launched movies like Baghban (2003) and Khakhee (2004), shows how easily he can breathe life into each and every role he plays.

Corporate Entertainment as a Way to Corporate Success

Corporate communication, corporate culture, corporate event, corporate governance – the word ‘corporate’ is often used to refer to something ‘relating to a corporation’; but it also has another, an older meaning – ‘united or combined into one body’. When speaking about organizations, the image of the body perfectly reveals the principles of their operation: each person in the group has their function, there is a strong coherence between the members, and everyone is working as one. This is precisely what corporate entertainment is for; namely, creating bonds and enhancing relationships to make individuals work as one body.

An entertaining event, be it outdoor activities, travel or a party, not only makes people get together, but also creates the sense of unity. Entertaining activities encourage communication between colleagues, team members, subordinates and superiors. People have the chance to get to know each other better. Contrary to work environment, relaxing activities extend relationships into more than job-related conversations.

Entertainment incorporates the human element into relationships both within and outside the company (depending on the audience) which is equally and sometimes even more important in building or improving relationships.

In the ever more demanding work environment it is easy to slip into tensions, misunderstandings, and conflict, which do no good for the corporation. Changing the environment and a bit relaxation while taking part in entertaining events helps the participants get rid of everyday stress and enjoy each other’s company. Thus relationships between team members, business associates, companies and their clients are being based on positive emotions, which have a great impact on people’s behaviour in their social environment and performance at work.
One of the forms of corporate entertainment where shaping relationships is practically the aim is team building events. Through entertaining activities that require the contribution of each member and a common decision, the group receives a dose of positive emotions and learns basic teamwork skills at the same time.

In a corporation, corporate entertainment may enhance interpersonal relationships in a number of ways: it inspires communication, helps to sketch relationships on a positive-emotion background, provides relaxation, reduces psychological tensions, and instils the spirit of team in the participants.

There are a lot of choices to make when it comes to corporate event entertainment. Not only do you have to decide on when and where to have the event, but then you have to decide on what type of entertainment and determine who it is in your crowd that you are trying to entertain. Of course if it is a corporate event you are looking for clean entertainment but is this a family event or are you just hosting the employees of your corporation. Either way a significant amount is riding on this event because a flaw would make the corporation look bad.

Plan to spend a little more on your corporate event entertainment then you would say for a wedding or for a friendly get together. As unfortunate as it may sound, the clean entertainment costs a little more. To get a corporate entertainer you need someone with at least 30 minutes to an hour full of material that he can keep the crowd entertained and not offend someone. Think about how hard this would be in a diverse crowd.

You do not necessarily have to go with a comedian, which is sometimes the first type of entertainment that corporate events sponsor. There are other mediums such as jugglers and magicians but even they border on the humorous if they are any good. With the combined talent of juggling and comedy you may be on the verge of a more expensive bill.

Then if you have decided that this corporate event entertainment not only needs to entertain the adults in the room but also you have made it a family event, then there is yet another dimension to the entertainment and possibly the price tag. It would be great to sponsor an event where the entire corporate family as well as the family at home. At this point you may be adding more then a magician or a comedian but someone with his own bag of tricks, so to speak, with a lot of accoutrements to entertain the crowd.

Finding just the right corporate event entertainment can be a bit tricky but set up your guidelines before you approach an outside business to handle the booking of this engagement. Most professional entertainers are booked through an agency and they will have the expertise to guide you in the right area after you have decided on what type of entertaining you plan to do.

For 25 year, Funny Business Agency has been a top resource for companies and event planners looking for expertise in the corporate entertainment market. With over 3,000 entertainers and events nationwide, Funny Business has provided entertainment for such companies as Legos, General Foods, Kelloggs, Pfizer, Honda Transmissions, Frito Lay, Iams, Proctor & Gamble, Perrigo and more.

Oak Entertainment Centers

Home entertainment centers are fast gaining popularity because of their space saving capabilities and the advantage they provide in storing electronic equipment and components in a compact and a methodical manner.

Ranging from the existing home entertainment centers to custom made ones, these centers are either made of wood or metal. While the metallic entertainment solutions are also in great demand, it is the wooden entertainment centers that attract consumers because of their aesthetic values.

The wooden entertainment centers are made of oak, cherry, mahogany, hickory, pine, maple, and walnut. If you are buying a wooden entertainment center you must keep in mind that ‘all-wood’ furniture is not necessarily all solid wood.

The companies manufacturing these wooden entertainment centers usually use solid board for their constructions, but they also use veneers and particleboard. This is because a veneer is more cost-effective and helps lower the cost of the entertainment center and can also help you achieve the desired look without the additional costs that would be involved with solid wood.

While searching for wooden entertainment centers, you should have a keen eye for detail. First of all, look carefully at drawers and ensure that they open and close smoothly. Apart from moving freely, they should also have automatic stops.

Also, check for support blocks at the bottom of the drawers. In fact the quality and construction of the drawers are an important indicator of the over all quality of the furniture. There should also be dust proofing between the drawers. The advantage of this is that this barrier prevents papers from passing between them.

If you plan to opt for custom made wooden entertainment center, you can also think in terms of intricately carved wooden cabinets. You can also consider including overlay strips of wood or blocks to attach decorative rosettes.

TV cabinets with foldaway pocket doors are another option. Also, keep in mind that the oak entertainment center should have glass-covered cabinets if the electronic equipment they store operates with a remote.

Ideas For Party Entertainment And Party Tips On Hiring A Party Entertainer

Birthday parties are real big these days, but it is still quite difficult to find the right birthday party entertainer, or the special theme parties. With the right information you can be your own party planner. I will give you some birthday party ideas, kids party ideas and event entertainers. This will help you come up with a great party idea. Some people find their kids parties entertainment through party rentals companies,dj services, party planners,event planning services, and entertainment agencies. Party planning is done by wedding dj companies.

Wedding djs provide wedding music as well as entertainers, but look to pay alittle more. A wedding disc jockey is a middleman so they will add a fee, making the party entertainments cost much higher. Wedding disc jockeys usually specialize in weddings only. A cool idea is jukebox rentals, they are a great sweet 16 party idea. Party djs offer music as well but be prepared to pay more. Disc jockeys also offer dancers, party music, karaoke, party games and fun giveaways to the kids. Dj’s have party favors like funny hats, blow up guitars, giant glasses, and glow necklaces.

Sometimes you can save money by providing your own party supplies. A disc jockey can also personalize your event with the music you want played. Djs work well with very large parties, some perform as live djs and are actually club djs. Some are not a mobile dj, and work the party night life. Working on location at a club, party place and catering halls. A interesting change is to hire female djs for party celebrations.

When hiring a party dj you can find a wide range of prices as well as talent. Disc jockey services should have a wide variety of music to choose from. A party disc jockey can cost as high as $8500.00, but are much more reasonable than a wedding band. Famous djs also may get a premium rate for an event. The lower price range for a disk jockey is $400.00. Top wedding bands can cost up to $10,000.00 for New York City wedding receptions. Cost will be even more If you are working with a event planner. Party bands are also fun, they play more at bars or clubs. Cover bands are great for picnics or outdoor events. When it comes to a party for kids you need to do some research. A party supply store has some interesting theme ideas for parties. You can also go online to websites for ideas on a party theme for your party celebration. You can even create a theme for your party food. Spend time on the party decorations, It will make everyone feel in the party mood. The invitations party guests receive also set the party themes. Event planners can also add a large fees for birthday entertainers. Clowns for parties are very popular, but at a children’s party I find they scare some little kids. At a children’s parties or birthday, clowns can keep kids busy. Some party activities a clown offers are magic,face painting,jugglers,tell jokes,stilt walkers and balloons. A bounce house is fun for a kids birthday party. Most inflatables can be rented out for the day. Hiring party characters such as Elmo are good ideas for little children. Make sure the party agency offers polaroids with the costumed character. Little girls enjoy princess parties and other themed parties.

Most children’s entertainers such as clowns require a deposit to reserve a date. Party clowns for birthday parties do short parties as little as a half hour. If you would like the birthday clown to do all the activities they offer for a kid party, you’ll need more time. At a kids party a clown is the best known party entertainment, but their are other good kids birthday party ideas. A party clown is a good value for most children’s birthday parties and can range from $75.00 for the hour to $200.00 for the hour. Many party rental services also offer party tents as well as entertainers. Party magic is always fun. When you hire a party magician ask whether they specialize in children birthday party entertainment. Some magicians work more as corporate entertainers than at a children’s birthday party. Magicians are a great idea for strolling as well, they can go table to table or do magic shows. Some party magicians are also a balloon artist. Some offer a comedy magician show. A birthday party magician specializes in younger kids, say ages 3 to 12. A magician at a birthday party will stay about half an hour to one hour. A magician for hire can run from $75.00 for the hour to $300.00 for the hour.

If your party has hundreds of guests look to hire the birthday magician for the duration of the event or think about a magic show. A singing telegram is a great party idea for older children or adults. Casino parties work well for a corporate party, christmas party and fundraisers. A stage hypnotist and a casino party can be expensive for most corporate events.

Another children party idea is a caricature artist entertainer. A caricaturist sketches quick comical portraits and makes an excellent kid birthday party entertainment. Caricatures double as a party entertainer and party favor. If you are corporate event planning a caricature artist is great entertainment. A family entertainer like a caricaturist is also fun to watch. The caricature artists sketches live at childrens birthday parties. As a corporate entertainer the caricaturists specialize in trade shows. Caricature drawings also are one of the great christmas party ideas.An interesting idea and wedding favor is a caricaturist. Wedding entertainers such as caricature artists are unique at wedding parties.

A halloween party is fun for a caricaturist to sketch your guests in their costumes. Older kids love caricatures at a graduation party. I’ve done many late night parties called “Project Graduation”, at these events parents are the party organisers. Hiring a party entertainer for a new year’s eve party can cost almost double. Other holiday parties may result in higher premiums on certain dates. Entertainers also book early for christmas parties, so consider reserving their service asap.

Live Entertainment For Your Wedding Or Event

Live entertainment can take many forms and can be more exciting than other forms of entertainment. Live entertainment can be one of the single most important factors in determining the success of your event or wedding. Some of the things to take into consideration when booking your live entertainers are what kind of entertainment would suit my wedding day or event.

When choosing the music for your event, think about the ambience you’re trying to create. Choose a band that are flexible and have a wide range of music genres. For a touch of romance you may want mellow or jazz music to be played during cocktails and meals. To create the upbeat atmosphere to get your guests up and dancing, make sure your live entertainment have a range of dance music to perform in between the meals. In addition some romantic music for the first dance is a must. Decide on the type of band or live entertainment you want, whether it’s male or female vocals you prefer or perhaps a combination of both. An instrumental band would be beautiful during the wedding ceremony.

Your live entertainment needs to be flexible in order to create the different moods of your wedding or event. Think about your guests and the type of music that would be suitable for the different age groups. Entertainers with a large musical repertoire is best so that you can make some choices about what you would like for the bridal waltz and the choice of numbers for some of the dance sets. The live entertainment you choose should have the equipment to either play indoors or outdoors. In between sets your live entertainment or band should be able to play music to maintain the ambience at your wedding or event.

A professional entertainment group or band will spend some time with you discussing your music preferences and song selection. They will also create a run sheet to ensure that they are playing as much as possible and having breaks during formalities. If the band or group has not performed at a venue in the past they should contact them to investigate the sound facilities, and to advise them of their power requirements. They should arrive at the venue early to set up and conduct sound checks.

The live entertainment at your wedding will ensure that your guests have a great night. They will be charming and engaging. They should interact with the guests whilst yet remaining unobtrusive. A professional band or group will know when to engage the crowd and when to change the tone of the music. Deciding which music should be played is one of the more important decisions you need to make when planning your big day. So choose well and make sure your band or live entertainment hit all the right notes to make your wedding or event a success.

Enjoy your night!

Finding the Right Career in the Entertainment Industry

There are many people who think they may enjoy a career in the entertainment industry. However, most do not actually realize how many different jobs are available in this industry. A career in entertainment can be very exciting, and you do not have to be an actor to have a successful career in this industry. When you are considering careers, you want to pick the one best suited to you, so it is important that you understand the various career options that the entertainment industry has to offer so you can make the right choice. Entertainment Careers ( actor, producer, director, musician, singer, dancers, choreographers)

Within the entertainment industry there are many great careers to choose from and there are opportunities for people with a variety of talents. One of the most obvious choices in this field is to be an actor. Whether you act on stage or in the movies, you have the opportunity to portray various characters, and although it can be quite a demanding career, it is usually a great deal of fun as well. Some careers that are behind the scenes of all movies include the producers and the directors. If you enjoy directing and putting things together, a career as a director may be ideal for you. This allows you to orchestrate a movie and bring everything together to make it a success.

Another great career in this field is a career as a musician. Musicians have a variety of opportunities, from teaching music in schools, to playing in symphonies, to being backup musicians for popular singers. If you have a great voice, you may want to consider a career as a singer. While many do not realize it, a career in singing is actually hard work, but it gives you the opportunity to travel and entertain people all over the world.

There are many great opportunities for dancers and choreographers as well. A career in dancing may lead you to a position on Broadway, in a ballet troupe, or even a career as a dance instructor. Choreographers have great careers as well and end up working with dancer on Broadway and even dancers in movies as well. A new emerging opportunity for choreographers is in the music video industry, with many new vocal artists doing music videos.

Required Education

The education that is required for careers in the entertainment industry is dependent on many things. Some jobs require that you have a post-secondary training, while others are solely based on talent alone. Many people who have a career in this field start out with a bachelor’s degree in some area of the entertainment field, and some even go on to get their master’s degree in fine arts. There are some actors who go to an acting school and dancers often attend an arts university such as Juilliard. On the other hand, there are many successful people in this field who have no education beyond a high school diploma.

Salary Outlook

The salary amounts in this field are extremely varied as well, ranging from quite low, to very high. An actor that is just starting out may only make between $7.00 and $30.00 an hour, which is relatively low. Famous actors in Hollywood often make millions for every movie that they act in, but this is far from the norm in the entertainment business. Actors and dancers on Broadway can usually expect to make about $1000 to $1400 a week, but those in other off Broadway theaters usually only make between $400 and $800 each week, and sometimes even less. Some of the higher paid professionals in this industry are the producers. Their salaries are dependent on where they work, but most can expect to earn between $40,000 and $90,000 each year.

Companies to Consider

The entertainment is a great industry to work in, but it can be hard to get into this field and to find a job that pays the bills and offers great benefits. When you are considering this kind of a career, it is helpful to look around to find companies that do offer competitive salaries and benefits. Some great companies to consider within the United States include E. Networks, World of Wonder, and Universal Music Group. If you are looking for entertainment jobs in Canada, you may want to consider companies like Sony BMG Music Canada, National Film Board of Canada, or the National Arts Center in Canada.

After websites that gather buyers and sellers, blogs or websites on general entertainment is probably the next most productive method of making money online through providing information. There are sites that actually do both, like Amazon, which sells products and provides information through articles too. Salon.com and IGN.com are two examples of websites that focus on the entertainment niche. These websites are both really successful sites.

When blogging about general entertainment, there are a few rules that should be followed and things are a little different. With this guide, you’re bound to learn the basics to make money online with a blog about general entertainment.

What Will You Blog About? There are a few guidelines about what you should blog about, but the basic premise is that you should be writing about topics in entertainment that truly interest you. If you write about what really excites you, you’re most likely to end up with your best writing. You’re also more likely to drive more readers to read about your articles or blog posts if you write about current issues. You can review, comment or just write about the latest in entertainment. If you really can’t write about the latest topics, then you can also consider hiring or asking a guest blogger to write about it for you.

On Reviewing TV Shows. TV shows are almost always popular. So, you probably won’t go wrong when blogging about the recent popular TV episodes. You can write posts about the new characters in a certain TV show, the new episodes, upcoming seasons that are released on DVDs and other related things. Due to the fact that almost everyone watches TV, TV show reviewing can be a very profitable field for blogging about general entertainment.

Reviewing Others. Of course there is more to general entertainment than TV shows. There are entertainment sites like Salon or IGN that also talk about other things like books, anime and movies. It takes some skill to write about reviews, and writing these solely on your blog may be a bit risky. So, write about other subjects, too and you can also do a little research to find out which topics readers like the most.

Commenting. Commenting on the most popular issues in Hollywood can also be a good way to earn some money online. This is like reading about the latest stories and offering your own opinion. Commenting will let you add a personal touch to a non-fiction story. You can add your opinion to the popular stories that are circulating around.

Keeping Up With the Latest and Hottest News. With blogging about general entertainment, it’s important that you keep updated with what happened in the past as well as what’s happening today. What’s the newest TV series? What’s the newest bestselling book on the shelves? Who are the most promising stars? Who’s becoming more popular? Issues like these are just some of the things that you need keep up with. This isn’t very hard to do though, because all you will need to do is to read the entertainment section of your local newspaper or just read about it on the internet.

Blog and Make Some Money. So, how will you make money with your blog? It’s simple. Set up your entertainment blog, write about the latest issues in entertainment, keep up with what’s new and popular and then, sell ad space on your blog for those who are willing to pay you for it. Maybe, there’s a new movie who wants to promote it on your blog. You can also earn money from small commissions from the reviews that you write, because there are places who will actually pay for people to write reviews.
