Alex O'Loughlin insisting his hard struggle to become famous but not acting

“I didn’t become an actor to get famous,” he said. “I became an actor because I love the work. I love being on stage, I love being part of a collaborative art form and seeing what we can create in a film............." quoted by Alex O’Loughlin. Often you can see these types of speeches made by the stars'. Hollywood’s hottest new hunk, Alex O’Loughlin commented on himself recently, "................without life experience, you can’t tell stories anyway. You’re a boring actor. I don’t really act like I’m famous. I just do my thing. I’m not that famous, dude. Sometimes I get pointed out or some people shuffle up and ask for an autograph or a photograph, but I’m not at a point where I can’t leave the house, thank God. I think the downsides would be losing your anonymity and not being able to trust people, to tell whether people want to be with you and get to know you because of your celebrity or because of who you are."

“I just try to carry the sense of integrity and authenticity I had in the beginning of my career, because I think that’s what makes people interested in you in the first place. It’s important not to lose that.”

O’Loughlin insists he wasn’t starstruck working with Lopez, who is married to Latino singer Marc Anthony.“I just know her as her, you know what I mean?” he said. “I know her as my costar, her husband as my friend Marc, I know Max and Emme as her kids and they’re my own little mates…I just don’t see it in that way. When I step away and look at it from that perspective, yes, she’s a brand, and the machine behind the J.Lo brand informs and creates that. She obviously wanted that, and in that case, she’s a very smart businesswoman because she’s made a lot of money, I presume, and she’s had a lot of success and is very well-known.

 “She must be pretty resilient, because I don’t want that. I’m not suggesting I could ever have that, but the other thing you’ve got to realize about Jennifer is that she’s as famous as she is based on her talent. She’s a very talented woman, an incredible singer, dancer and writer who’s very good at what she does, as opposed to these people you see these days who are famous for being famous. There are celebrities in this day and age who really have offered nothing artistically but they’re on the cover of magazines and stuff. That world, I don’t really get it.”

Is this just a kind of humbleness of Alex O'Loughlin?

MARIAH CAREY'S PLANS FOR NEXT

Hey noticed on Mariah Carey’s weight. Mariah looks happy and God bless her. Mariah still dresses like she has her old figure - and many of those ensembles were questionable even then. The National Enquirer has an epic story about how in the two years of blissful matrimony to Nick Cannon, Mariah has gained 57 pounds. She seems closer to 30 pounds. The Enquirer’s piece quotes extensively from a doctor who isn’t treating Mariah, and he’s basically just saying that if she eats one more cheeseburger, she’s going to die. FYI: Nick Cannon comes across in this article like a really lovely man.

“Mariah looks like she has really let herself go,” revealed a source close to the singer. Mariah has packed on a whopping 57 pounds just in the last two years, says a concerned source. And her ballooning weight - now approaching an all-time high of 192 pounds - has brought her to the brink of life-threatening medical problems, warns an expert. But pals say the hardworking diva is under tremendous stress and is resorting to food binges to relieve her frustrations.

“Turning 40 was a big thing for Mariah, and she’s been trying repeatedly to get pregnant. Combined, the two things have hit like a one-two punch and stresses her out. She is turning to food for comfort.”To make matters worse, Nick Cannon is sending the wrong message - telling Mariah there’s “just more of her to love.” For the past several weeks, Mariah - who turned 41 in March - has been dropping hints she may be pregnant.

“Mariah’s been coy about the whole pregnancy thing right now to deflect attention from her weight gain,” said the close source. “She doesn’t want to have to address it. And Nick keeps telling her how beautiful she looks.”

When Mariah and Nick got married, she weighed 135 pounds. But over the past two years, Mariah has been cooking mac & cheese, fried chicken, pizzas, et cetera. “Nick has even suggested that her food is so good, she should think about writing a cookbook.”

Where she once was rumored to have undergone liposuction, now “she has turned to high-calorie late-night snacking and she’s at her heaviest weight ever. Her attitude is not to fight the weight gain, but just to go with it.”

Jessica Simpson - Make-Up Free Jessica Simpson

The 29-year-old star - Jessica Simpson has appeared make-up free on the cover of Marie Claire magazine. To promote her new initiative, “A Beautiful Me,” a program she is launching next month to encourage young women to love themselves and feel comfortable in their own skin.“I don’t have anything to prove anymore,” says the singer, who once admitted to getting too much Restylane in her lips. “What other people think of me is not my business.”

Recently Jessica confessed she has changed thanks to her acceptance of her body and looks.

She said: "There's always something that I've wanted to fix because there's always somebody who looks better; that's what we always compare ourselves to.

"So I think the journey really was finding what was beautiful inside of me and knowing that it's unique and rare. And it was a very powerful journey. It has definitely changed my life."

Unfortunately, when stars like Jessica Simpson try to promote “natural” looks, their inherent unnatural attractiveness always seems to debunk the objective. Simpson looks as polished and pretty as any cover model without makeup, doesn’t she?
