In the process of looking for the best free auto insurance quotes California, one will inevitably have to go through the process of understanding these different car insurance policies. Car insurance policies are sometimes so hard to understand though. It sometimes is so full of unrecognizable jargon. But what some of these terms mean can actually be easy to understand with just a little familiarization. Several terms, similar to “Property Injury liability” and “Bodily Injury liability” need to be understood first before reading these policies. Here are a couple of very important terms that one will need to know. These are the two most important types of coverage:

Collision Coverage
This is insurance coverage that will pay for the repairs on your car or for the repairs of the other car or the property you collide against and damage. And so the deductible amount chosen for this coverage is inversely proportional to the premium that is billed to you. Even if the collision is your fault, it will most likely still be considered an accident, unless the collision was something intended. One will be able to claim this coverage the way one claims medical insurance. You will have to pay first then the rest of the repairs will be covered by the insurance.

Comprehensive Coverage
This term basically means that coverage that will pay for other kinds of damages other than roadside collisions. These are those damages from fire (in the garage perhaps), natural disasters, falling debris. This also covers such things as vandalism and theft. The way the deductibles function is similar to the deductibles of collision coverage.

There you have it. These are two very important terms before one starts looking for free insurance quotes California.

The Stress and Pressures of Hollywood Fame

Hollywood fame is not all about fun and glamor. Living the Hollywood fame is like living inside a fishbowl where everyone can see and criticize your every move. It is often very difficult to deal with especially for stars or personalities who were used to the anonymity back when they were still mere mortals like us.

It could definitely cause some stress and paranoia with the paparazzi always breathing down your neck. Being famous also requires you to please people with your appearance and the way you talk. Most of the time, these celebrities would have to watch their language during interviews and compromise their own beliefs for fear of doing a Carrie Prejean. For a huge Hollywood celebrity, it could be very difficult to stand your own ground especially if you do not have the support of your true friends and family.

From being an unknown to the next biggest and brightest hot and loaded celebrity in Hollywood could stress out some actors. Even the often misunderstood Megan Fox, whose Transformers stint made her a household name admitted that fame is an unbridled territory. "I definitely feel ill-prepared. I know I'm struggling with trying to figure out how to live in it, but I definitely feel it's premature,” FHM’s hottest woman alive said in an Entertainment Tonight interview.

To be able to handle fame and the pressures that come along with it, celebrities should know proper stress management and goal setting. They should be able to keep their heads straight on the goal that they want in life and of course the support of families and friends would also help in keeping them grounded. They may be celebrities on the big screen, but strip them of the designer clothes and the name, they would still be normal human beings like us who also need to be level-headed.

Hollywood Cosmetic Surgery Gone Wrong

It is a given for celebrities to look their best, but now and then, there are just some Hollywood personalities who seem to have forgotten to look the part. They are those actors and actresses who let themselves go, stuff themselves with tons of calories, dress like a clown, or get themselves a DUI case. Those are a wee bit normal. What’s not normal are those epic fail cosmetic surgeries Hollywood stars get themselves into.

First case is millionaire, Donald Trump’s daughter, Ivanka Trump. Okay, she looks hot, but take a really closer look and you’d see that something is awfully wrong with real estate princess. Her nose looks like it’s gonna be wiped out of her face any minute. It just keeps getting smaller and smaller to the point that it’s not proportioned to her face anymore. And while her itsy bitsy nose makes a ghostly disappearance, her breasts get bizarrely bigger than her small face.

My advice to Ivanka, slow it down on the cosmetic surgery.

Next is the deceased King of Pop, Michael Jackson who has a record of 20 cosmetic surgeries. Most of the enhancements were done to trim down his nose. Needless to say, going under the knife 20 times has made a world of difference on his looks.

Last but not the least would Tori Spelling. Yes, the daughter of the multimillionaire TV producer, Aaron Spelling. In an autobiography she released years ago, she mentioned that her estranged relationship with her mother caused much of her internal battle about her looks which ultimately lead to her first appoint with a cosmetic surgeon. Initially, it was just about the nose, then the surgeries came one after the other. Her boobs have also received a lot of bashing from gossip mongers in Hollywood because aside from the fact that they are obviously the products of cosmetic surgery, they also do not look proportioned to her thin frame. It seems as though the silicon boobs are gonna popped out any second.

BLINK 182 is BACK!

Tom DeLonge, Mark Hoppus, and Travis Barker, collectively known as Blink 182 will be kicking off their comeback tour this July 24 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

It seems that ordinary fans are not the only ones excited about Blink’s reunion. According to MTV News, Pete Wentz of Fallout Boy, one of the bands to join the tour, said that Blink 182 going on the road once again is dreams come true. More than that, it turns out the Wentz is also a big Blink 182 fan. In an interview with Rolling Stone Magazine, he said that Blink 182 is one of the reasons he wanted to be in a band.

"Pretty much since this band started, we had a list of bands we wanted to meet and hang out with. Blink-182 was at the top of that list,” said Wentz. He added, "To be touring together this summer is a dream come true for us. Not just as a band, but as fans and friends too."

Since the band’s four-year ling hiatus, the guys have been busy with other projects. Tom Delonge Airwaves and Angels started making songs during Blink’s downtime, Mark Hoppus did some gigs with his former band, +44, and Mark Travis still maintained a very active role in the industry. Now that they are back together and ready to make fresh post-hardcore tunes, we can expect that Blink 182 will break new grounds in the rock music scene.

Francisco Cervelli on facing Johan Santana

There are a lot of things that you dream about when you are a major league player. Whenever there is a player that is called up from the minors, they usually check if they can go out and talk to players that they consider as role models.

Back up catcher Francisco Cervelli said that when the Subway Series came on the radar, he wanted to play in Sunday's game above all else so he would have the opportunity to face Santana.

As a September callup last season, former Yankee and fellow Venezuelan Bobby Abreu introduced Cervelli to Santana, and the young backstop said the hurler deserves his well-respected reputation.

"[Santana is] a great guy and a great baseball player," Cervelli said. "He's one of the best. ... I wanted to face one of the best pitchers in the Major Leagues."

With the first chapter of this year's Subway Series complete, Cervelli said that he wouldn't take any additional pride in having put one over on Santana. Asked what the reception would be in Venezuela, Cervelli said it would likely be mixed.

"I think they'll be happy," Cervelli said. "Maybe Santana fans will be mad a little bit. But things happen, and he knows how to come back and pitch well. He knows. He's one of the best guys."

Christian Bale – On acting

Acting is a big part of Christian Bale’s life and even Christian magazines acknowledge this fact. GQ magazine gives us an expert on what he thinks of acting:

You once said that if you didn’t commit the way you do, acting wouldn’t feel like a “job.” Was that the kind of winking acknowledgment movie stars make about the absurdity of making millions to, you know, dress up in a cape? Or was it something more earnest—that you need to endure not just to play a role correctly but to test yourself?
Definitely the second one. Look, I was doing that long before I could ever have had any guilt about getting paid. I learned a long time ago that if I don’t commit completely, I’m not very…content. And yeah, it’s bizarre but true: The easier the role, the more they pay you for it. I’m into a realm now where it doesn’t matter what you do, you don’t deserve to get paid that. It’s fair, because if you’re not, someone else is gettin’ it—and they didn’t do what you did for it. But do you deserve it? Hell no.

You once described what you did for The Machinist—starving off a third of your body—as “calming.” Can you elaborate?
I guess you just sort of have to focus on other…pleasures than food. So you focus on things of the mind. It really is almost mind control. And I found that very calming. Usually, you’re getting nervous energy from what you’re taking into your body. Since I wasn’t putting anything in, I was left in a low-energy state. I didn’t even have the energy to sleep much at all, if that doesn’t sound too strange. But that absence of energy was replaced with an ability to focus in a very slow and steady way for hours and hours. Physically, I was incredibly relaxed—I really didn’t have a choice—but mentally very acute. It was very nice to be in that state while it lasted. My family enjoyed that one as well, after they got over the horror of looking at me.

Adam Lambert – what he should do next

Adam Lambert recently lost to Christian magazine poster boy Kris Allen and people are wondering if he lost his edge. Here are some suggestions from Rollingstone magazine to help him go back on track:

• Go Gaga

MJ Santilli, founder of the popular Idol blog MJsBigBlog.com, says Adam could make a strong pure dance record, but Idol would more likely “want a record that’s a big hit, something that can compete with the Lady Gagas and the Katy Perrys and the Pinks of the world.” Cantiello thinks “Poker Face” should lead the way: “He needs to get on the Lady Gaga train, because he is the male Lady Gaga.”

• Belt on Broadway

With a history in theater (he was now famously a star in Wicked), it would be easy for the smooth-moving Lambert to slip onto the Great White Way. “I hope he gets into a studio real quick and puts out an album. If that doesn’t work out for him, I think he’ll be on Broadway in no time, and his fans will flock to that,” Cantiello says. “And I’m sure people on Broadway are going to tailor musicals around him.” Plus, there’s a fresh slate of rock-oriented musicals on the way with Bono and the Edge’s Spider-Man project and Green Day’s American Idiot show.
