Also, this is actually impossible to figure out because people have been acting since way past forever. You'd have to take into consideration every Shakespearian and Ancient Japanese actor ass well. Also, I don't&amp;nbsp;think a lot of our current film and TV actors even compare to some of the classic Hollywood stars.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;My favorite&amp;nbsp;actor is&amp;nbsp;currently Will Smith, though. And some of my favorite film stars of the past are Fred Astaire, Sidney Poitier, Gene Wilder, and Frank Sinatra. There are more, but I can't think of them all. OOh. And I love Johnny Depp.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Sorry I had to answer so technically. I'm kind of a nerd like that. :P&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;I just answered this &lt;A href="http://www.hoodstars.com/tags/hsfq128" target="_new"&gt;Featured Question&lt;/A&gt;, you can &lt;A href="http://www.hoodstars.com/private/editorx.aspx?freebie=1&amp;amp;fqid=425&amp;amp;tags=hsfeaturedq,hsfq128" target="_new"&gt;answer it&lt;/A&gt; too!&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description><comments>http://beautifully-raven.hoodstars.com/656508627/in-your-opinion-who-is-the-greatest-actor-of-all-time/#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>If you can go back in time and correct a mistake what will that mistake be?</title><link>http://beautifully-raven.hoodstars.com/654698193/if-you-can-go-back-in-time-and-correct-a-mistake-what-will-that-mistake-be/</link><guid>http://beautifully-raven.hoodstars.com/654698193/if-you-can-go-back-in-time-and-correct-a-mistake-what-will-that-mistake-be/</guid><pubDate>Wed, 30 Apr 2008 07:19:00 GMT</pubDate><description>&lt;P&gt;I would've never fallen for the man I fell for. I would've&amp;nbsp;laughed more, talked more, associated with more people. I would've dated the guys I&amp;nbsp;liked, and loved a little harder... or mayber a little wiser. I would've never associated with my crazy abusive ex. I would've never lost touch with some of my closest high school friends. I would've tried harder my first year at Spelman. I would've never&amp;nbsp;been so interested in befriending some&amp;nbsp;of the shallow people I used to call friends. I wouldn't have sweated the man... I would've igged him. I wouldn't have driven to South Carolina just to see him. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;But then again, if that had happened... I might never have had some of the best experiences of my life. I might never have known some really great people. I might never have tried some great things.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Life is what you make it.&amp;nbsp;The past is part of what makes us who we are today. =)&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;I just answered this &lt;A href="http://www.hoodstars.com/tags/hsfq121" target="_new"&gt;Featured Question&lt;/A&gt;, you can &lt;A href="http://www.hoodstars.com/private/editorx.aspx?freebie=1&amp;amp;fqid=389&amp;amp;tags=hsfeaturedq,hsfq121" target="_new"&gt;answer it&lt;/A&gt; too!&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description><comments>http://beautifully-raven.hoodstars.com/654698193/if-you-can-go-back-in-time-and-correct-a-mistake-what-will-that-mistake-be/#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Can I do me please?</title><link>http://beautifully-raven.hoodstars.com/652052269/can-i-do-me-please/</link><guid>http://beautifully-raven.hoodstars.com/652052269/can-i-do-me-please/</guid><pubDate>Mon, 14 Apr 2008 03:42:16 GMT</pubDate><description>&lt;P&gt;Why can't I just do me, my way? Why is it that because I like the way I look, and put pictures up of me in a bikini top, females assume I'm feinin for attention and result to telling me I'm "too pretty and smart to be taking pictures like that."? What? It's a swim suit! I'd wear it to the beach, or to the pool... so what's wrong with having a picture of it? I could care less about attracting guys or proving to people how "hot" I am. I know I look good... I was raised to know what's good about me. I just like the way I look in that swim suit. I like my body. And I'm not naked, so what's the big deal? Like, every female that wears something that shows a little skin is not "low self-esteem" and "seeking attention." That's just a social norm for today. In fact, in ancient Minoan civilizations, women rarely covered their breasts. Why? Because breast were appreciated, because the "bring life." They feed our offspring. Nobody even saw it as lewd or unmodest. Not saying I wanna flash y'all my breasts, lol, but damn.... if I like my bikini then I'm gonna wear it, and show it off. In case you ain't know I'M A FASHION MAJOR! I enjoy FASHION, STYLE, AND BEAUTY. So, too me, I was dressed in kind of a street/sexy style, kind of Chula Hip-Hop... I like it. I think it's cute. And I barely have boobies so I didn't think it would be overly sexy. Kind of like when Gwen Stefani does it, you know? Not overly sexy, but just cute. I don't think I'm disrespecting anything. My oh my. lol. I'd love for people to hop off and let me do me. If I wanna shoot my own editorial spread starring me in my bedroom and bathroom, gosh darnit, I will. And SEXY is fun. Girls, ain't nothin wrong with being sexy. It's SKANKY that's the problem. Just learn how to separate the two.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Anywho, I'ma do me, my way. Okay? So, if I decide to buy anothe swim suit and take another pic in that swim suit.... I will. It's not to draw attention. It's because I like the way I look in the shit. Me. I'm only interested in ONE GUY'S opinion, and I know what he think's of me. So... to the rest of you beautiful young ladies, go enjoy yourself and your body, and stop worrying about mine. Next, I'ma have a pic up of my lower back tattoo I'm getting for my big 2-0. Because it's my perogative. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Love ya, much. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;-Rae&lt;/P&gt;</description><comments>http://beautifully-raven.hoodstars.com/652052269/can-i-do-me-please/#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>LUPE FIASCO *PARIS, TOKYO* VIDEO</title><link>http://beautifully-raven.hoodstars.com/651903367/lupe-fiasco-paris-tokyo-video/</link><guid>http://beautifully-raven.hoodstars.com/651903367/lupe-fiasco-paris-tokyo-video/</guid><pubDate>Sun, 13 Apr 2008 05:22:55 GMT</pubDate><description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;U&gt;&lt;FONT color=#0000ff&gt;&lt;A href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9yBEMlffFM" target="_new"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9yBEMlffFM&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/U&gt;&lt;A href="http://www.youtube.com/v/Q9yBEMlffFM&amp;amp;hl=en" target=_new&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description><comments>http://beautifully-raven.hoodstars.com/651903367/lupe-fiasco-paris-tokyo-video/#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>The Reasons I wanna go white.</title><link>http://beautifully-raven.hoodstars.com/650593188/the-reasons-i-wanna-go-white/</link><guid>http://beautifully-raven.hoodstars.com/650593188/the-reasons-i-wanna-go-white/</guid><pubDate>Sat, 05 Apr 2008 05:59:15 GMT</pubDate><description>&lt;P&gt;First let me start by saying I'm just being humorous! This isn't completely serious, and I love my black guys! So no bad comments please!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Now, down to business. I think I'ma start dating white guys, because I've been dating black guys all my life and I'm starting to get sick of their bullshit! For one, it seems like black girls are never good enough for today's black guys. We're not light enough, hair not straight enough, features not small enough, eyes not light enough. What's the deal? I mean, even me... I'm multi racial with hazel eyes, but damn, I still look like a regular black chick. I mean, I get that those light brite, wavy haired chicks are pretty, but why does that mean you can't pick a regular black chick? And not only that... it seems like EVERYONE wants a black man. So we gotta compete with every white, asian, and hispanic chick&amp;nbsp;that's in the dating game. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;And then, when you do date a black dude, why does he always act like you're nothing but a pussy with a name? It's like they all want you to have sex with them or else they don't want anything to do with you. THEN they don't want you to be a ho. So, it's like they want to be "special" but they don't want to treat you special. How the hell can you get mad at me for not giving it up, but then also get mad when I give it up to a lot of people? What, am I supposed to have self-respect with everyone but you? If anything, get some fucking game, dude! PRETEND you're into me until I actually do give it up! LOL! I mean, not that I wanna be gamed, but at least back in the day they used to have a little rap. They used to spit so hard that the girls actually thought they were in love with them. I mean, damn, play the game, guys! Everything worth having is worth working for... so don't expect me to dance on your dick if you've done nothing to deserve it. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Then there's the way they talk to you. "Ayo shawty whats good, I'm sayin, can I holla?" Like, dude, can you speak English to me? Or if they're respectful, they're almost scared. It's like, papi, make your move! Ask me if I wanna hang out or if you can call me!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;But the biggest reason I want to go white is, the white boys that like me are always so sweet. They talk to you like a person, and even when they wanna get freaky they don't treat you like "it's now or never." It's never with a white guy been "oh why don't you wanna sleep with me? i'm gone!" I mean, yeah, they get frustrated too, but I think white boys appreciate black girls more. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;But what would make me really happy is finding a good SINCERE black guy! One that wants to actually put in work and maybe actually be my BOYFRIEND! Not a late night booty-call or a cut buddy. lol. Actually, I'd never give up black guys. But sometimes WHOO y'all make me want to!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Anywayz... this wasn't serious... it was just me pointing out some problems some of me and my chicas have with dating. It's meant to be like... ironic or sarcastic or one of those words for relatable humor that's not lol funny. So, you know, don't think anybody wants to diss on black dudes for real!! =D&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description><comments>http://beautifully-raven.hoodstars.com/650593188/the-reasons-i-wanna-go-white/#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Stephen Curry on Conan O'Brien tonight!</title><link>http://beautifully-raven.hoodstars.com/650582601/stephen-curry-on-conan-obrien-tonight/</link><guid>http://beautifully-raven.hoodstars.com/650582601/stephen-curry-on-conan-obrien-tonight/</guid><pubDate>Sat, 05 Apr 2008 04:24:14 GMT</pubDate><description>Yay!

He's too nice, because anybody who been following him since the B2K break up knows he does his own thing, never talks shit about the other members, and works pretty hard... but ever since they tried to put the group back together it's been more and more crazy bullshit. You gotta ask yourself, why do we as humans constantly embarrass ourselves over something we love? If it wasn't for Raz, no one would even have adverse feelings about the rest of B2K. Think about it... when was the last time you heard Fizz talking shit about Omarion? I mean before Raz was back in his life? Never. People even used to ask him questions about O and try to provoke him into talking shit about O, but he never would. And furthermore, it's okay for him to talk shit. That's his boy from way back. We're on the outside looking in, and you all see Omari as Omarion and love him because he's sexy and one of your favorite performers. But Fizz sees him as Omari, the dude he's known since a kid. If he wants to say "home boy is on some other stuff." let him. Shit, he is, actually. Omarion does think he's bigger than he is. In actuality, Bow Wow (he's my heart so don't attack me) an O have both fallen off from past years. And O sells less and less every time he comes out. But when you watch O, he seems to act big like he's an Usher or something. Now, I don't know O, so IDK what the deal is. (Marques Houston acts like that too... cuz when I met him he was acting like he was the biggest nigga I'd ever meet. lmao). Anyway, Fizz is a good dude. I mean a real good dude. Super nice, super friendly, and hard working. I refuse to let y'all talk shit about him. He's going through a lot right now, Raz keeps fcking up their group shit with his bi-polar craziness, and it's very discouraging when he's trying really hard to make it work for all of his boys. And for O not to even appear as a guest on their reality show is like a big smack in the face. I mean, even Spinderella appeared on Salt &amp;amp; Pepa's show. (and the Salt&amp;amp; Pepa beef was way bigger than the B2K one). So, don't be mad at Fizz for keeping it 100 with his fans. You all love it when Bow keeps it 100 with you, and that's all Fizz was doing. He didn't go to "allhiphop" or "bossip" with it... he just posted a bulletin to his myspace friends. And he has the right to. Leave him alone, he's going through a tough time right now.
