FAQ
What dark secrets do Hollywood have?
Hollywood is full of secret societies. Some are cult-like groups where members follow strict rules and rituals, while others are simply clubs for those who share common interests.
Some of the most powerful organizations in the industry are even more dangerous. Companies such as the MPAA, which determines film ratings, or the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America), that set music licensing fees, are examples of these.
Many unions and guilds represent actors, directors writers, producers, and others. Most major movie studios and television networks are owned by large corporations which own these various organizations.
The point is that no matter how secretive any group may seem, someone somewhere knows exactly what they do. However, we shouldn't fear them.
Instead, we should embrace and celebrate them. Because they offer us information that can help us make better decision.
They tell us what movies will likely succeed, what songs will be popular, and what books will best sell.
In short, they help us decide what we'll buy, watch, read, and listen to.
We can trust our advisors and ignore advice that isn't in accord with our tastes.
They become more powerful because we choose to ignore them. They become the ultimate arbiters for taste.
You are free to ignore their messages if that bothers you.
Let's take a closer look at some of the less-known, yet still very real Hollywood secret clubs.
And you'll understand why they're so crucial.
What is the most surprising fact about your body?
Two eyes, two ears and two nostrils are part of our bodies. We also have four limbs: a mouth, nose, penis, and four limbs. It's true, we have more 50 parts of our body, but there is one thing missing. A heart.
The heart is a pump that circulates blood throughout your body. The blood flows through the veins and arteries to carry oxygen and nutrients to the cells.
Each minute, the heart pumps 5 liters of blood. This is equivalent to a person drinking 2-3 cups coffee daily.
Blood flows throughout the heart 24 hours per day, 365 Days a Year. While you sleep, your heart beats almost 100 times per minute.
You can tell whether someone is healthy or unhealthy because of the color of their skin. Looking closely at the skin's surface, you can see tiny blood vessels called capillaries. These small vessels carry blood from the large blood vessel in the skin back towards the heart. The skin becomes blue-colored or purple when blood flow is restricted.
Red blood cells are not available to sickle cell patients. Their blood becomes sticky and hardens, causing them to become very ill.
A bandage can be used to stop bleeding if you have cut your own skin. Blood must continue to flow to allow the wounds to heal properly. To do this, doctors insert a needle through the skin into the vein next to the injury. This allows the blood from the injured area to drain.
Doctors can also insert catheters into the artery close to the area where the bloodclot has formed. This helps to keep the patient alive until the blood clot disintegrates naturally.
How does the brain control the functions of your body?
To ensure that they work together, messages are sent by the brain to other organs. Your brain controls all that happens in your body. It tells you your stomach to digest food; your lungs to inhale air; and it tells you your arms and legs how to move.
Your brain is made of billions, or neurons, of nerve cells. Action potentials on Axons are an electrical signal that neurons send to each other. Each neuron has a cell membrane surrounding its nucleus. Inside the membrane are channels that allow ions such as sodium and potassium to enter and leave the cell. Ion movement creates the electric charge that causes the neuron to fire.
When a neuron is activated, neurotransmitters release chemicals into the space between it and the next neuron. Neurotransmitters attach to the receptors of the second neuron and open ions channels for ions to pass in and out. As a result, the second neuron fires too.
Neurotransmitter production occurs when a neuron in the presynaptic receives an impulsive signal from another. The impulse travels along the synapse connecting the two neurons. The transmitter binds to the receptors on the postsynaptic neural cell, which triggers the firing of that neuron.
Neurotransmitters are important for communication within the nervous system. They coordinate activity between the different parts of your brain.
What is the reason actors are blacklisted?
If you are an actor, you will get more rejection than if you are a writer. You will likely be rejected many times if you are an actor. It doesn't matter, because you will eventually find someone you love.
Actors are typically very talented and can earn a living virtually anywhere. However, most actors aren't interested in making money. Actors enjoy acting and telling stories. It's likely that you will be acting if your passion is acting.
It is possible to be told that you are not suitable for the role, or that you are too old or too young. You may also be rejected from a movie audition. It happens all the times.
After you've been cast, there may be criticism. Many people will tell you you look horrible or that you shouldn't be wearing make-up. If you're lucky, you won't even hear negative comments.
Sometimes it's because you play a character that's not realistic or authentic. You could be a gay actor and everyone assumes you are straight. Or maybe you play a woman who is supposed to be tough, but she cries a lot.
Or maybe you're asked to change your voice. Sometimes, they want you to sound more like a man or a woman. Most times, though, they want you to sound better.
It is best to ignore these criticisms. Actors often feel that they've failed if they are told they did something wrong. The truth is they haven’t done anything wrong.
They didn't have the talent to make them famous. They may not fit the bill sometimes, no mater how hard they try.
Blacklisting an actor could be for many reasons. Some people don't like actors. Some people think actors are lazy. Others believe actors cheat.
It doesn't matter what reason it may be, you won’t be banned if you keep trying. There are plenty of jobs available and you'll find them.
Keep trying and you will eventually succeed.

Hollywood scandals that shocked the globe
It's shocking to see someone make a name for themselves. It's even more frightening to see them fall from grace.
The best part is seeing how an industry reacts to its mistakes. Many celebrities have used alcohol and drugs in excess. Some even died young because of it.
But the worst part is when those same stars go public with their problems and are shunned by everyone. That's where we found ourselves last week.
Heath Ledger lost his long and successful career. After a short battle with death, Heath Ledger succumbed to prescription pills.
His friends and family struggled to accept the loss of his son, while the media blasted him openly.
Heath was once considered one of the most talented actors working today. Two Academy Awards nominations were given to Heath for his role in Brokeback Mountain.
Heath not only acted, but also wrote and directed films including A Knight's Tale. Monster's Ball. Iron Man.
Hollywood loved Heath. However, he quickly grew too large. He started taking drugs and drinking heavily. He eventually went to rehab and was clean.
He wanted to make amends now that he was sober. He then made "Room 237," a documentary that chronicled The Shining's making. It was originally scheduled to release this year, but it won’t be available in theaters until next.
Heath tried many times to get back into Hollywood. Nothing worked. Heath was in fact arrested twice on drug charges.
We don't believe Heath should have been allowed to go back into the entertainment industry. It would have been nice for him to have received some assistance before things spiraled outof control.
We hope Heath’s story can be an example to other people who believe they can still have it all.
