Okay, so you may never get to meet Meryl Streep, Ron Howard, Cybill Shepherd, Larry Csonka, Danny Glover, Meg Ryan, or Captain Kirk (a.k.a. William Shatner) in person. But you can stay at the very same bed and breakfast inns that they stayed at, and have just as good a time as they did!

The Inn at Long Lake is a picture-perfect historic Victorian. With antique-filled guest rooms, beautiful lake views and sumptuous full breakfasts, the Naples, Maine bed and breakfast attracts plenty of repeat guests. Celebrated actress Meryl Streep is a frequent visitor, bring her daughters with her for some relaxing mother-daughter time. Among the charming features are collection of antique clocks, stained glass and a cozy top-floor library stocked with books and games. Guests can walk to local restaurant, and riverboat rides are just steps away.

If you are visiting Baltimore, Maryland, take a page from director Ron Howard’s book and stay at the Gramercy Mansion. Built as an elegant Tudor-styled manor, Gramercy Mansion is truly a B&B refuge from the madness of the modern world. Come and enjoy its spacious gardens, nearby organic farm, and 11 elegant bedrooms; ranging from the sunlit Aphrodite’s Retreat to the Tower Room with its four-poster bed and Italian marble bath. Gramercy Mansion is also a fairy-tale setting for weddings and other social gatherings.

To live like Cybill Shepherd, you must stay at the Swann House B&B in Washington DC. Close to the Metro and the Capital’s many attractions, this 1883 Richardson Romanesque brick manor even has its own turret! Worth trying: The Over-the-Top Girls’ Getaway. Your ‘girl group’ can take over this Dupont Circle B&B’s 12 rooms for three days, and enjoy an all-inclusive champagne breakfast, welcome reception, shopping, yoga, makeovers, massages and jazz clubs. Even if you don’t, the Swann House’s 12-foot ceilings, crown moldings, inlaid wood floors, crystal chandeliers, and elaborate fireplace mantels make it an astoundingly different place to stay in Washington, DC. No wonder Cybill slept here!

NFL Hall of Famer Larry Csonka was once a guest at the Bent Creek Lodge, a rustic Asheville, N.C., lodge built to please any mountain man or just about anyone else who enjoys fantastic views, great food and cozy rooms. Guests can relax in a rocking chair on the huge veranda and enjoy Blue Ridge Mountain and garden views or even book a massage for extra relaxation. Outdoor activities include hiking, biking, fishing and canoeing along the French Broad River. The Biltmore Estate and Blue Ridge Parkway are among the nearby attractions, and downtown Asheville is just 10 miles away.

Acclaimed Actor Danny Glover was once at guest at the Apple Country Bed and Breakfast in Wenatchee, Washington. The historic 1918 Craftsman home’s guest rooms are decorated in a charming country style, each named for a variety of apple. Breakfasts include the innkeeper’s signature sticky buns, as well as fresh, seasonal fruits and homemade entrees. Guests can ski in the winter or enjoy hiking and biking in the warmer months.

She may have been sleepless in Seattle, but you can bet that Meg Ryan slept just fine in the guest rooms at the Aaron Burr House Inn & Conference Center. William Shatner also is among the other celebrity guests that have enjoyed a stay. The picturesque 1873 Victorian boasts guest rooms decorated with antiques and featuring walls hand painted and stenciled by an area artisan. The inn was built on the foundation of an earlier, 18th century home. Aaron Burr hid in the original home after his duel with Alexander Hamilton. Today’s guests enjoy a less stressful visit, no doubt.

The band The Jonas Brothers has been in the business since 2005. In the course of the band’s career, they were able to release two albums- It’s About Time and Jonas Brothers. The songs of the Jonas Brothers are a mixture of punk, rock, a little bit of acoustic and soul.

At first Nick Jonas was really the one in the music industry but that all changed from brothers act to a band after a Columbia Records executive heard their song “Please Be Mine”. Other music writers were used during the production of their first album. And these writers have written songs for some well known celebrities like Joss Stone and Beyonce.

After the band was released by Columbia and signed up Hollywood Records, the band released their second album entitled Jonas Brothers. This time the album only contained songs that the Jonas brothers themselves wrote and a few covers. It definitely represents the growth that the band has experienced since 2005. The album contains the following songs: “Kids of the Future”, “Hold On”, “SOS”, “When You Look Me in the Eyes”, “Hello Beautiful”, “Games”, “Hollywood” and “Good Night and Goodbye”.

The Jonas Brothers did other songs namely: “6 Minutes” by Lyte Funky Ones, “What I go to School For”, “Poor Unfortunate Souls”, “Kids of the Future”, “I Wanna Be Like You”, and “Take on Me” by A-ha.

The band also showed some other ability like creating music for other engagements. During the second season of American Dragon Jake Long, the band sang the theme song. Other songs record for Disney Project were “Yo Ho and the “Time for Me to Fly”.

The band is currently working on their third album which currently has no title yet. There is a reason the band is a successful and that is because the brothers can really create some good music. The band has created some catchy tunes with a good mix of pop and punk.

Journey band, the multi-platinum rock band of the 70’s has just got a massive shot in the arm: it’s got for itself a new lead singer. Arnel Pineda, a Filipino veteran of music gigs in clubs in the Philippines and Japan, was literally plucked out from the Zoo band (as seen in YouTube) in Quezon City, Philippines, and flown to Marin County to have him auditioned. The rest is the beginnings of a modern Cinderella story.

Arnel Pineda just had two months to let this change of fate sink in and barely two weeks to “acclimatize” himself with the music gods that is Journey Band, and off he went to his baptism of fire: the unforgiving “Monster” of Via del Mar, Chile Festival. 15,000 strong audience who also serve as judges is a tough deal for any seasoned singer. And here comes Journey band’s new and un-acclimatized lead singer, this could be nerve-wracking. The result, however, was more than phenomenal.

In the beginning of the performance it was like kind of getting the groove and feel for Arnel Pineda and Journey band. Who wouldn’t after being quiet for quite sometime? Some even wondered that they seemed like singing while reading a script from a teleprompter.

As the show went on, Arnel and the band started to show the flow in their performance. And it’s just about right when things just got into the right groove and mood when Arnel Pineda belted out the popular song, “Open Arms”. Arnel Pineda just know how to answer Latinos passion for music and he did such an awesome job. After that number, just about everyone got comfortable and the Monster got silent.

Arnel Pineda’s singing of “Faithfully” just caught everyone’s heart with excitement. What used to be doubts of his capability to be with Journey finally disappeared. The “Monster” was transformed to Arnel and the rest of Journey band, claiming their long lost position of the greatest rock bands of all time.

It was encore number one after the other that was asked of the Journey band. Their final song even took a little bit longer to get going since most of the equipment have been turned off. And it was still so memorable! Arnel Pineda have finally proven that he could deliver what is expected of him to be a part of Journey band.

Neal Schon was like the over-proud father of a son he introduced to the world, Jonathan Cain (rumored to be not so sold-out with Arnel Pineda) now mouths AP “is the real deal,” Ross Valory constantly flashes that otherwise so rare grin, and Deen Castronovo vows to Arnel Pineda at the end of the show.

This is something like a substance of a mushy Cinderella story, really?

It’s a Cinderella story for Arnel Pineda and it’s complete opposite for Journey band where they take the place of Lazarus who came back from the dead.

Some musical big wigs coined Journey band has become a “Greatest Hits” group. Schon, Cain, Valory, and Castronovo are riding the wave of Journey’s past glorious moments. They attempted some new materials but they did not seem to hit the sales records. They might still posses the admiration of the original fan groups, but this fans base could either go for other bands or genre, or they could just rot and die of being old.

Steve Augeri, and Jason Scot Soto are both great singer and performers and they are just trying to extend the lifespan of Journey. Getting Arnel Pineda into Journey, the band got its new version without changing the old package of Journey’s identity. Arnel Pineda’s tenor sounding voice keeps the feel and touch of the what is used to be “Journey”.

Gradually, Arnel Pineda, as Journey’s lead singer, his contributions to the band doesn’t end there. Being Asian, his vibrant energy, his really “rock” version and style could provide a new way of penetrating the admiration of today’s generation both in America and internationally.

One of the most recent examples is Georgia Frontiere, the Rams owner, who died at 80 of breast cancer. Family members and team officials kept her illness a secret according to her wishes.

Having to worry about the extra attention and unwanted press this kind of news can bring is undesirable, especially while battling disease. Making the decision to reveal an illness can leave one feeling scared and vulnerable.

For a public figure facing this decision, not revealing a major illness might seem like the obvious choice. There are other reasons a celebrity might not want to reveal their illness, besides the unwanted press.

Most people, celebrities included, want to be remembered for their work, not their disease. Also, going public with a disease can effectively end their career, so many choose to keep their battles private.

It should be said however, that despite the difficulties in mentioning a serious illness to the public, great good can come from revealing it.

Speaking about the disease publicly can help raise awareness for it, and also help to encourage those at risk to get screened.

Another example: Lance Armstrong, who just won his 7th Tour de France race, shed light on testicular cancer, even while his cancer had spread to his lungs and brain.

What is the reason these celebrities reveal their illnesses? I have a hunch it’s because the act of confessing is restorative. Clarity and a new purpose is often the end-result.

Ok so I had to do a little research on this one, for admittedly I didn’t know what index to use. GPA? Degrees? IQ?

I finally decided to go with IQ or “intelligence quotient” as it is the most related to “smartness” as a lot of “over achievers” get good grades and degrees.

SO to find the highest IQ celebs I did a web search for MENSA members. Here are the top six smart celebs:

Sharon Stone (Yes THE Sharon Stone!)

Geena Davis

Steve Martin

Stan Medley ( Yes, he was number two on my Sexiest Men in America list too!)

Scott Adams (Please don’t say “Who”)

Jodie Foster

Now these are the verified MENSA members (HIGH IQ Society). Now I guess they are ALL tied for first place as all we know is that they are members of MENSA. We do not know which of them has the higher IQ.

Honorable mention does go to JAMES WOOD, however, who is reported to have an extremely high IQ though we cannot verify any MENSA MEMBERSHIP. (Well done James for being an IQ rebel.)

NOW notice that out of the top SIX four first names begin with the letter “S”. Quite a showing for that letter. Guess that makes it the smartest letter in the alphabet. SO I guess that is why Sharon Stone TOPS my list because her name has a double “S”. (AND – oh – but the way, my name IS Sheree!)

Also check out the fact that two of the SIX have last names that begin with the letter “M” – so maybe that should put Steve Martin and Stan Medley at the top of the list as both of their first names begin with the letter “S” and last names begin with the letter “M.”

And as long as we are talking about Stan Medley, you may have noticed that he was also in the my top 5 on my SEXIEST MEN IN AMERICA LIST. Number TWO to be exact – but this definitely moves him into FIRST PLACE on that list as a SMART MAN is really, really sexy to me. Don’t you girls agree? (Sorry George!)
