From Quiz Celebrities Named Jason

Answer: Stargate Atlantis

Born in Hawaii in 1979, Jason Momoa is an actor, writer, director, producer and, of all things considering his most famous role, a model. That isn't totally surprising though, as this actor, with a mix of Hawaiian, Native American, German and Irish blood flowing through his veins, is remarkably good-looking. Before branching out into the film industry, Jason studied to be a marine biologist, tried painting in Paris, and taught Buddhism in Tibet as well. What a fascinating background. His role in "Stargate Atlantis" (2004-2009), which is a spin-off from the original "Stargate SG-1" series (1997-2007), sees him playing Ronon Dex, a military specialist from the distant planet Sateda, who joins the Stargate crew team to fight the evil Wraith and numerous other villains. Comically so, Momoa, who wears dreadlocks throughout the series, had them removed after season four because he said they were giving him a headache and whiplash during action scenes. The network however made him reattach them. As this process took too long each day, he was forced to wear a dreadlock wig for the remainder of the series instead.

From Quiz Quotes from Famous Actresses

Answer: Lana Turner

Actress Lana Turner lived from 1921-1995. Born in Idaho to parents who were only in their teens; the young couple separated shortly after. When Lana was five her father, on his way back home after winning some money, was robbed and murdered before he made it there. Her mother worked up to eighty hours a week to support herself and her daughter from that time until Lana grew famous, when she took over management of her daughter's career. Lana made fifty-five films during her life. Her most well known was the 1957 "Peyton Place" for which she received an Academy Award nomination. This film centres around the lives, loves and scandals of the various inhabitants in a small New England town. Lana's personal life was a troubled one. Married eight times (twice to the same man), and with many lovers, the above quote is an interesting indication of her overall attitude towards love. Most of those relationships were extremely abusive, with Lana once describing her life as a "series of emergencies". Her most famous (and violent) romance was with underworld figure Johnny Stompanato. On April 4, 1958, during the course of another terrible fight, Lana's daughter grabbed a knife and ran towards the couple to try to protect her mother, stabbing and killing Stompanato in the ensuing struggle. This created a feast for the hungry media for months afterwards. Lana Turner's beauty and acting skills bought her fame and money, but never any lasting happiness. She died a lonely and unloved woman, with only her long time maid by her side. That indeed was the longest relationship Lana had ever had with anyone.

From Quiz This One's For the Ladies

Answer: Ben Affleck

Ben Affleck, who's spent most of his professional life raking in Oscars and money, has never been one to let fame and fortune not interfere in quote-making. This celebrity is a man who also said "I just feel like sometimes I'm a force to be dealt with. My talents are sometimes overused and also sometimes underused. It's not easy being me." Affleck, however, seems to have it all justified. He directed "Argo" to a Best Picture win in 2012, co-wrote the Oscar-winning "Good Will Hunting" with Matt Damon. On the same note he's won two Razzies with five nominations. As Affleck has been cited as saying: "I feel like fame is wasted on me." Okay then.

From Quiz I Can't Believe You Just Said That!

Answer: Britney Spears

Britney Spears is an American singer, songwriter and actress. She started off her career in the entertainment business as a child artiste featuring on television shows such as "Star Search" and "The Mickey Mouse Club". Her first music album "...Baby One More Time" was released in 1999, and quickly climbed up the charts making it the best selling debut album of a female artiste at the time of its release. Geography, however, doesn't appear to be Britney's strong suit as she has also been quoted as saying, "I get to go to lots of overseas places, like Canada". This would've been a perfectly normal statement to make, if only Britney hadn't been living in the United States which shares one of the longest land borders with Canada.

From Quiz It's a Wrap

Answer: "It's like a chicken attacked by a coyote!"

That was in the 1935 musical comedy, "Top Hat" where Fred played a man who had moved to London to star in a show being produced there, and met and fell in love with Ginger's character along the way. During the argument, Ginger burst into tears and her enraged mother charged onto the set. They quickly resolved the argument, and Ginger got to wear her dress with its moulting feathers which so annoyed Fred, and which can be seen floating in the air in the film if you look closely. Afterwards Fred always called her "Feathers" during their lifelong friendship, and had a tiny gold feather made for her charm bracelet. He presented this to her as he and the choreographer parodied the song "Cheek to Cheek" from the show with the words: "Feathers - I hate feathers/And I hate them so that I can hardly speak/And I never find the happiness I seek/With those chicken feathers dancing/Cheek to cheek."

From Quiz Quotes from Famous Actresses

Answer: Katharine Hepburn

The amazing Katharine Hepburn, who won four Academy Awards during the course of her career, lived from 1907 until 2003. She was feisty, as her quote above indicates, outspoken and different from every other woman of her era. She was talented, had a beauty that crept up on you when you least expected it to and, for twenty-five years of her life, had a long and passionate relationship with actor Spencer Tracy. He was the man for her and she didn't care who knew it. Long after his death in 1967, the pain of that loss was still evident on her face whenever she spoke of Spence. I love all her movies. She's outstanding in every single one. Perhaps if I had to name one that always makes me smile no matter how many times I see it, it would have to be the hilarious 1949 "Adam's Rib" in which she starred with Spencer. In this film, they play a married pair of lawyers, Amanda and Adam, who have a severe, but screamingly funny, falling out over a court case in which they play the defense (Katharine) and prosecuting (Spencer) lawyers arguing an attempted murder case in court. These two great actors are perfect together on the screen, with a volatile chemistry never seen since in any other long term screen partnership between two actors. One of the funniest scenes takes place when both actors are absent visibly on screen, but can be heard in the next room having a violent disagreement involving a neighbour who is in love with Kate. We see none of the three actors at all during this action until they finally burst out the door, but we do hear the argument while we stare mesmerised at an empty hall. Hepburn's sudden "How DARE you!" makes me laugh every time because we know full well what has just taken place.

From Quiz This One's For the Ladies

Answer: Charlie Sheen

In the 2010s, Charlie Sheen received a fair amount of media attention, particularly because of his cocaine struggles and canning from the long-running TV show "Two and a Half Men". Despite this, Sheen stayed in good form as he took a very-much-panned U.S. comedy tour. Aside from claiming he had tiger's blood and Adonis DNA (who doesn't, am I right?), he also popularized the phrase "WINNING!" and checked himself into the Sober Valley Lodge (it's not a real place-- it's in his mind). This is a man who said "I don't think I'm a romantic sex symbol but I think I'm ruggedly handsome." Step right up, ladies!
