Public speaking is a skill. A skill is something that anybody can learn. Like football or playing the guitar, it just takes simple instruction and practice to get good at it. Even a groom can be confident and successful when all eyes are on him. Focusing on being afraid or on a negative past experience can lead you to miss the fact that speaking in front of people can be learned. You’ll find the confidence you need by setting these things aside.

Take a look at these simple tips to bolster your nerve:

Be prepared. Look up examples of grooms’ speeches. It won’t take long for you to identify with certain parts of what you see. Always be aware of having a balance of humor, sentiment and specifics.

Make notes. List out the name of people you should acknowledge and make an outline of the things you want to say. Tuck it away, but keep it handy. This can help give you some peace of mind when it’s time for your speech.

Imagine being a crowd pleaser. Let yourself feel what it might be like to hear the applause and laughter and relax into the sensation. Also think about yourself delivering your speech and how you’ll want to say things in a way that keeps the audience engaged.

Avoid glitches. On the day of your wedding, make sure everything is in place for your speech. Be aware of your location and check the mics and sounds system. Anything you find that needs to be improved or changed can be done prior to the speech to insure your moment is uninterrupted.

Have a schedule of events. Listing out an order of events will help you to avoid having special moments seem awkward or unplanned. This should be coordinated ahead of time with your wedding planner or host so that they are responsible for a flow that allows for a pleasant reception without long delays between elements of your day.

Kelly Brook topless or in a bikini are great ways to start off your week happy and energized, so I wanted to share with you these recent photos of the beautiful British celebrity.

Kelly was photographed by Maxim in a ridiculously hot pictorial that includes motorcycles, the beach, the desert, and her fantastic tits and incredibly hot ass wrapped in see-thru panties. This chick is the Mona Lisa of our times, a hot sexy icon that keeps us on our toes waiting to see what wild thing she’ll do next. And you can certainly count on Kelly Brook doing something wild.

The Enquirer is reporting that two more female massage therapists are claiming they were sexual abused by former Vice President Al Gore!

The first incident took place in 2007 when he was in Hollywood to attend the Oscars at a Beverly Hills hotel and the other in 2008 at a hotel in Tokyo.

The Disney star will celebrate the milestone at her Los Angeles home, and her mum, Mandy Teefy, is putting on a Texas-style grill to remind Gomez of her home state.

But Teefy won’t have much time to enjoy the party – she’s in charge of overseeing the barbecue meat and making potatoes for the huge number of guests.

She says, “We’re throwing her a big BBQ bash, 250 of her closest friends and family are coming over to our place in L.A. and it’s going to be so much fun.

“We’re ordering the BBQ meats but I’m cooking the cheese potatoes.”

Gomez received an early gift during a meal with her family on Monday (19Jul10), when a group of fans serenaded her with Happy Birthday at the restaurant.

In a post on her Twitter.com page, she writes, “Went to dinner with my family and some fans sang happy birthday to me! What an awesome early birthday gift. Thank you.”

Hollywood stars Cameron Diaz and Tom Cruise attended the premiere of their new flick Knight and Day last night in Munich, Germany.

Cameron, the owner of some of the finest legs in showbiz, wore a dazzling white Bottega Veneta mini dress with a waist defining black belt and nude Pierre Hardy peep toes. She looked stunning but we do wish she would have done something a little more special with her hair.

Tom meanwhile appeared to be channeling his Maverick Top Gun days in black waxy denims, a light denim shirt (double denim, extra fashion points) and aviators. He looked pretty damn hot too.

Are you excited to see the Cam & Tom’s premiere outfits or do you just want to see the film already?
