Besides Prince,what celebrities do you really admire? You can list musical artists,actors and actresses,politicians,whatever.Here's my list...

***Carlos Santana---Besides being one of the greatest guitarists of all-time,Carlos seems like a really cool guy.He comes across as sincere,unpretentious,and a very nice individual.He doesn't seem to have that phoney "superstar/ego" thing going on,and that is refreshing.He's the type of guy you could have a beer with,while you two are discussing Miles Davis....lol...

***Eric Clapton---Everything I said about Carlos also applies to Eric.

***Matt Dillon---It baffles me why Tom Cruise is regarded as a great actor,while Matt gets left behind! The truth is,Matt is not only a better actor,he appears in films that are WAY more interesting.Remember the underrated 1998 movie 'Wild Things'? This guy deserves more acclaim than he's gotten so far.

***John Leguizamo--- This guy is a riot! His comedy show is hilarious,and he shines in EVERY movie role he does.He was so good in 'Summer of Sam',and totally hilarious as a drag queen in 'To Wong Foo'.One day,he's gonna get the right movie role that will take him straight to the top.

***The entire cast of "Law And Order"---To me,this is the one great TV show that I almost NEVER miss.I can't remember the cast members' names,but every one of them is brilliant!

***Brandy---She is wholesome and sweet.Unlike most of the other young singing "divas",Brandy doesn't wear revealing outfits,nor is she vulgar or nasty.She uses her voice,and her charming personality and that is more than enough.

***Barbra Streistand---She has one of the greatest voices in pop music history,but that's not the reason I placed her on this list.No,she wins her spot because she has the *BALLS* to speak her mind on issues that matter,particularly when she's dissing the Republican Party.The Democrats should hire HER as their spokesperson!

***Halle Berry---She is truly a class act.She continues to do movies that are challenging and interesting,AND she still looks stunning everytime you see her:)

***Hillary Clinton---I've admired her for years.When the Monica Lewinsky thing was going on,people assumed that she would break down,but she soldiered on and now look where she is....a popular senator in New York,with an $8 Million book deal and rumored plans to run for President.Meanwhile,hubby Bill Clinton and Ms.Lewinsky are all but forgotten...lol...

PJ Harvey.....(Not only is she cool and talented as hell, she's leggy!!...Can't remember which magazine it was, but it had a pic of her wearing nothing but black panties and a skimpy t-shirt that said "Lick My Legs"...I wanted to buy every copy and wallpaper my apartment)

Madonna- brilliant, brilliant lady. Talented songwriter, ballsy artist.

Bjork- incredible musically. Incredibly bold and not afraid to push herself and her audience to new levels.

- Babs likes to talk ALOT at her concerts too, LOL.

David Bowie

i don't think i need to explain this.

Shaggy seems to be very laid-back, very down to earth in person.

Janet Jackson: I know I'm a little impartial, but Janet is someone incredibly down-to-earth and friendly. There's something about her that is very charming and open. Even though I don't know her, I feel like if we met she would be a cool openhearted person. She is one of the best dancers I've ever seen. Plus, the way she dresses, walks, talks, acts and looks is amazing.

Jerry O'Connell: I think he is a cool person. He seems to be very friendly and approachable. He's funny and he has a sense of humor about him that is irresistable. His wardrobe is hot, people can't hate on that.

Tori Fixx: The man has the best lyrics. He is a handsome, charming realist. He speaks the truth and he's laid back. I love people that have a laid back (can do) nature. He has a mastery of music that most hip hoppers could only dream of so he gets props for that.

Whoopi Goldberg: I dig what she has to say. People may not agree with anything and everything she does but she's herself at all times and I like that. I feel that she is a woman who does her own thing in the game and she transcended all the haters in the industry based on her talent and personality. Often times dark skinned females don't get any chances in Hollywood, but Whoopi bucked that trend so I feel her for that.

Scott Neal: He is a British actor. Another down to earth cat. I think he's cool because he does his own thing and he's got it like that, but he's not conceited with it. He knows he's hot and attractive to some people out there but he doesn't let it go to his head, that's an admirable quality. Plus, the boy knows how to dress. I'm always mad at his outfits because I know I wanna köp some of the stuff he has.

Tisha Campbell: I've been feeling homegirl since way back in the day, but recently I've realized that she's a cool girl. Tisha can sing, act, dance, she's a total package. I love multidimensional entertainers & personalities. I love her character on "My Wife & Kids." Plus, she's a beautiful woman. More power to her.

Queen Latifah: She's a great talent plus she's multifaceted. She has ambition and drive and I love that. She won't back down and she's determined to be a force in the industry and it has been paying off recently (Oscar nods, Golden Globe nods, Grammies). She's hot like that.

That is my girl, man! that is my baby 4 life. I can talk about how much I love this woman 4 hours and hours but I'll just say that I love me some Miss Goldberg. Its just sooo beautiful to see a sistah doing movies without messing around with the stereotype, u dig? Besides, she can do it all(comedy, broadway, drama and etc etc etc).

Here's my list of my FAVE people:

1.Denzel W.: He seems very calm, confident and very intelligent. The reason why I love him is becoz he reminds alot of my father(esp when he's angry or lecturing ). Plus, he's the type of brotha who doesn't talk too much but when he does, you listen!

2.Angela Basset: The kind of around-the way-lady who can't be missed with YET you could sense the warmth and the depth in her personality whenever she speaks.

3.Mary J Blige: She's been soo misunderstood when she 1st came out. I love her honesty and her earthy sense of humor(which nobody can realize).

4.Syleena Johnson: I had the pleasure of meeting this sista back in 2001. She was humble, funny, real and beautiful in any way you could think of. Plus, the woman can sang her pretty ass off.

5.L-Boogie:I relate so much 2 that woman's words. SO MUCH IT SCARES ME!

6.John Travolta: He's the only white guy(along with Elvis) that I would be happy 2 go out with lol no seriously. He always come across as cool, cheering, funny and humble person. I like his comedy movies too.

7.Jennifer Lewis: I'm not sure if you guys are fimiliar with her acting but she is one of the FUNNIEST sistas eva. If she had her own show, she'd blast. I love her dirty, serious YET beautiful persona that she always present.

Thats al I could think of right now!

* Samuel L Jackson

* Avid Merrion!!!!!

* George Michael

* Bill Murray

* Mike Myers

* Queen Latifah

* Jeff Goldblum

* Matt Dillon

* Michael Jackson (he does what the f**k he wants and doesn't give a crap about anything.... he's a true PUNK!)

* Neneh Cherry

* Wesley Snipes

* Marilyn Manson (don't ask me why)

* Stevie Wonder

* Jackie Chan

* Michael Keaton (this guy NEEDS to make more movies)
