WOODROW W. CLARK’S 3IR SUSTAINABILITY THINKING
I missed the Woodrow W. Clark symposium at Beverly Hills before leaving the US for New Zealand. Gov. Gray Davis and Woodrow’s thoughts impressed me enough to take a photo just prior to jumping on a jet. I took the snap as I wanted to research Woodrow & Gov. Gray’s thoughts when I could. Now could quite possibly be that time. Renewable energy and sustainability in the 3IR realm of infrastructure advances is the vibe of what they do.
His thoughts are more relevant today perhaps than ever.

REFLECTING ON RONALD REAGAN’S PHILOSOPHY OF POLITICS & WAR’S COST TO HUMAN LIFE
True fact: I used to go to Beverly Hills exhibitions and read up on how leaders could get to sleep at night, when they authorized soldiers into battle. When soldiers died, how did a leader get to sleep, I would ask?
I would turn to someone like Ronald Reagan. An actor, who knew a life of safety on a movie set. How then did he morph from that kind of a work environment into leading a military nation, at that time – the no.1 nation on earth always scrapping with Russia.
Click on Ronald Reagan’s picture to see that he drew from theologians as well as policy advisors to do that.
In those days I used to write zany weird stuff like: “I’m not judging because in Hollywood, our souls are charcoled barbecued black. Black! I repeat, so black…”
I was a living Hotere painting in those days. Painted in heaps of black. Then in order to make sense of the ever-present cost of war and military in the US, I would go from that thinking to: (more…)

HEIST by RYAN SEACREST & JULIANNE HOUGH FOR BEVERLY HILLS PARTIES
Show biz duo, Ryan Seacrest and Julianne Hough ‘s statement at a Beverly Hills party was “heist.” It’s a sentiment that Leonardo DiCaprio also brought to the screen in The Great Gatsby remake seen on screens worldwide this year.
What does the statement the duo are saying of Americans and the world? It’s very The Untouchables meets Beyonce songwriting lyrics too. “This is a stick up, ya’ll.” Corporate gangsta monopoly rolls – culture statements. Kinda dark.

So nice of Ryan to tottle down from The Hills parties set, to the flats of BH for this photo snap. Julianne too.

KATE MIDDLETON’S TABLE TENNIS TRAIL DOES WELL IN ONLINE PING PONG HITS
With the weight of the world on her shoulders, Britain’s Kate Middleton, still found the time to kick off her shoes this week. Kate even grabbed a ping pong paddle in a fierce game of table tennis. With all of those camera’s zeroing in on Kate, I don’t know how Kate does it?!
Even if she was wearing a hessian potato sack on top of Mt Zion, Jerusalem or in Pukekohe, Kate would still look all tickety boo.
Looking on the net, in the social media online games of the Olympics (what everyone’s really following in between non-Olympics news), Kate hasn’t done a shabby effort so far on the Brit-Brit celebrity stakes either. She’s worth her weight in gold for elite sports events promotion duties.
The last I played a game of ping pong was in Beverly Hills with a Chinese-American-Samoan friend. Of course, I got totally whopped in three games. Go figure!
The model Brit has chalked up some good press online so far.
More of Middleton’s sporting trail, social media heat via broadband and wifi web hits at JustJared Hollywood gossip website. (The best!).

THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING – MANDIBA NELSON MANDELA – 94th BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS, SOUTH AFRICA
South Africa’s first democractically elected black President turned 94 yesterday. He is the man who insighted the world to see beyond color and unfair laws that once supported apartheid’s economic flows certain ways.
As a child, his name is significant to me as my Aunty Awa and her sister marched on rugby stadiums with young activists making a point in those days with other New Zealanders of the calibre of fiery activists like Ripeka Evans and filmmakers like Merata Mita (her filmmaking friends) and their many Pakeha New Zealand friends too. They united as one people, to show solidarity towards a cause of a long walk to freedom.
His name as we know, is Mr Nelson Mandela, a man who inspired Maori and Pasifika children in particular in New Zealand and the South Pacific to hold on to an enduring dream just as he had. Although we had advanced and conscientious school teachers at the school I went to (Barbara Stuthridge-Rudolph being one and Eileen Parore and Jewish-Kiwi, sports obsessed Steven Cohen beingothers), our Pakeha friends, saw us in a different light because of this man’s unusual story.
How would I describe him? He is a vessel of brokenness whose life is filled with the fragrance of humane wisdom, deep gratitude in life; more precious than saphire, he is a gem smith’s diamond cut for freedom’s wider purposes in the world, that makes us look at things beyond the price of oil, in a brighter light of justness towards the gift and maximum miracle of healthy change by being more fair.”
In my childhood in Whangarei City, the most economically oppressed city in those years of NZ - the cry for freedom and change from little ‘ole New Zealand was like a resounding declaration that change was upon us. New Zealand sensed this early and mobilized in response. The cry from Aotearoa New Zealand was:
“the whole world is watching.”
My own mom, to be fair – not only supported her whanau (family) protesting for change, she also invited the South African rugby football team home for lunch from The Grand Hotel. They were so thankful to be invited home. Mom wanted to ensure they experienced Maori manaakitanga amidst the Springboks rugby Tour that would change New Zealand in hard-fought ground for the good. These lessons were stepping stones and milestones of New Zealand culture, that our peace must be founded upon strongly. Some of New Zealand’s most important stories have happened against the backdrop of a sporting context’s profile as was the case when we protested apartheid for people like Mandiba Mandela. It is what we do well. In him and peple just like him, we saw our own redemption.
That day, although we were poor and my missionary parents who once had struggled like the people of the South Pacific do in Island paradise Isles like Samoa, Tonga and Fiji – had lived in a State-bought house they paid off, that was originally built for a Maori radio jockey. He abandoned the home last minute when his marriage unexpectedly dissolved and we were lucky to be moved into it. On the day the Springboks team came home, mom cooked curry with rice in the kitchen - just how she’d learned to in Fiji, that day. Her cooking was a big hit.
Mandela’s name and presence was ever-present in the room on this day too with some of South Africa’s best rugby football stars in our humble Northland home. The moment was surreal yet normal too.
Perhaps as a credit to their own statespersonship and humility caught up in the cross-fire, they were relieved to be welcomed into a Maori-Kiwi cross-cultural home to experience a form of real New Zealand life as it really was. No pretense, a real home with a real young family.
Back to the birthday boy. He is also one of the world’s most favorite anti-apartheid activists towards Peace. In one of the two video clips from South Africa, his angel (a messanger) of hope is one of my favorite American Presidents, Mr Bill Clinton. Not perfect, yet the President with the most personality, love of fun and imbued pizazz – the world has always looked to the USA to provide as an entertaining nation working in tandem with our founding ties and high regard of British culture too. Our indigenous people signed an agreement with Queen Victoria many years ago. We are stil working on getting this right 171 years on since the ink dried. A signed deal for equality means that between our indigenous people and The Crown that represents this agreement. Mandiba Mandela’s story, helped bring this agreement more to the forefront of New Zealand cultural life. He, a bright angel of hope all of those years ago.
Although today, I think South Africa could do with gun reform laws (a notion formerly put forward by New Zealand for South Africa years ago by a leading judge and ignored at home by short-sighted arrogant oversights of governance at the time); an idea that would have made South Africa as a nation safer for its citizens today; this man’s birthday is a very special occasion.
The remarkable footage of 12 million students celebrating the birthday of South Africa’s “Mandiba” Nelson Mandela reminds us that inside prisons sits like deep reservoirs – a living resource, more precious than oil, where some of our most remarkable citizens on earth are found. Prisoners: Real people with bright futures needing rehabilitation, restoration and grace. Nelson Mandela’s life story is a living symbol of this fact. So today, I bow to his legacy and early years as a leader and thank him and his family and friends for what they endured as our teachers.
Euronews reported: “”If was not for him, I wouldn’t be here. I wouldn’t even be smiling again and saying we are one as a rainbow nation,” said Sello Sebogwane.
“When I talk about you (Mandela) I feel like crying. I’m talking about the hero. The man who has spent years in jail for us. You worked for the nation, you helped black people spending 27 years in jail at Robben Island. You did not enjoy your life. God bless you, we still love you and wish you a happy birthday,” added Salome Makgamatho, who was overcome with emotion.”
Grandson Mandla Mandela, said he inspires the idea of “being of greater service (in daily life) and to the nation at large.”
In South Africa: “Mr Clinton, accompanied by his daughter Chelsea, opened a new library for the No-Moscow Primary School in Qunu, ahead of his meeting with Mr Mandela. “When I think about Mandela I always think about someone committed to the future,” Mr Clinton said.
Former President Bill Clinton also said: “He was very pleased the way the people celebrated his birthday with sixty-seven minutes of service.” How sweet… the sound… of South Africa today.
Photos: BBC. Nelson Mandela‘s granddaughter, Ndileka Mandela in a cute Halle Berry reference and nod to Hollywood-Brit, Oscar’s star system said, “he can charm bees out of their beehive.” I think she was referring to Bill Clinton on that one – who does the exact same cheeky thing.

CLIFF CURTIS, ASHLEY JUDD, MORGAN FREEMAN – PROTECTING JUST FAMILIES ENTERTAINMENT
Right now I’m watching my tuakana, Cliff Curtis act with Ashley Judd and their cast in the TV series Missing.
It’s good to see his Maori skin color on the screen in a high quality drama series. Why the American actors aren’t practicing their NZ twang on this show though, instead – is beyond me?! :)
When I lived in the USA for five years, only one person wanted me to attempt an American accent by force. She was a young 87 at the time and a Beverly Hills icon as a fierce entrepreneur, merchant artist. Anyway, I used to fight with her as it was the New Zealand accent in real life that Americans always wanted to hear more of. So for me, it is strange to see Cliff still speaking in an American accent in US TV shows and films these days as a leading lad of New Zealand.
I like Ashley and Cliff’s show Missing. It’s about protecting families of people who are just.
Incidentally Cliff is like our Morgan Freeman (The Dark Knight Rises fame) kind of character actor of the future. Like a fine New Zealand wine, Cliff and Judd both get better with time.

RYAN SEACREST BUYS ELLEN DEGERENES $49 MILLION BEVERLY HILLS ESTATE
There’s money in reality television in the USA. In 2012 the average American watched 4.5 hours of TV programming a day. That’s something most New Zealanders could not fathom. However in the US, TV is culture onscreen for Americans. There is very little foreign programming offered in the USA.
Hosting Fox’s American Idol reality talent show and producing the Keeping Up With The Kardashians reality shows on E! Entertainment channel too has meant that Ryan Seacrest is now able to purchase Ellen DeGeneres‘ $49 million Hollywood property. Hollywood Reporter & TMZ have the outrageous scoop. Ellen did more than okay out of it, originally purchasing the property for $29 million.
Seacrest’s pad purchase is all paid for from the fact that some Americans like Ryan’s brand of TV entertainment in their 32 hours average of TV viewing each week.

BRAD PITT & ANGELINA JOLIE GET ENGAGED
[Photos Getty Images, 20th Century Fox]
After seven years, three adoptions and two pregnancies together and ducking and diving their way through millions of tabloid-styled headlines worldwide, Hollywood’s favorite humanitarian, movie-star pairing have announced an engagement.
“Yes, it’s confirmed,” Cynthia Pett-Dante, Pitt’s manager, told USA TODAY in a statement. “It is a promise for the future, and their kids are very happy. There’s no date set at this time.” And yes, she confirms that Pitt designed the ring.
Earlier, Beverly Hills jeweler Robert Procop confirmed to USA TODAY that he helped Pitt, 48, design a custom diamond engagement ring for Jolie, 36. “Brad had a specific vision for this ring, which he realized over a yearlong collaboration with Robert. He wanted every aspect of it to be perfect, so Robert was able to locate a diamond of the finest quality and cut it to an exact custom size and shape to suit Angelina’s hand,” Procop said in a statement. “Brad was always heavily involved, overseeing every aspect of the creative design evolution. The side diamonds are specially cut to encircle her finger. Each diamond is of the highest gem quality.”
How thoughtful. More here.

HOLLYWOOD WELSHMAN STEVE JONES WITH A MYSTERY WOMAN IN HOLLYWOOD SIGHTING
I think most people would agree that Hollywood Welshman Steve Jones‘ contract not being carried over on the X Factor for anothoer season was very harsh.
Jones’ did a fair enough job as reality TV show host in this show’s first season. Hollywood swings its cameras today onto the break out star’s personal life.
DEMI MOORE’S LEAKED 9-11 TAPE
In leaked news that would make the cast of reality TV show The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills look tame, Demi Moore‘s 911 call tape is a favorite news item of media outlets today.
MSNBC. Milford Daily News, The GG, Newsday, Radar, Inquisitor. TMZ all have top billing on the leaked tape’s contents.
Basically, “She smoked something,” was ”semi-conscious -barely,” “convulsing,” “accidental reaction,” then she was “breathing fine” again – before the Beverly Hills paramedics arrived to her home.
I swear, if it wasn’t for Latino (Hispanic-Americans) in California – half the town wouldn’t know what to do with their lives in a crises! Ridiculous!!!
It’s good that this incident wasn’t irreversably devastating for Moore. It’s the sort of antics you would expect from kids in college – but its good Moore got the help she needed to breathe okay again.
She sounds heartbroken. Not to mention that both people talking on the phone on her behalf sounded as if they had slight respiratory problems too!!!
In Hollywood speak: Demi Moore is not a Jackson. I repeat, Demi Moore is not a Jackson. However, as you’d say in Hollywood, Demi Moore is a “hot mess right now!”
There’s nothing wrong with admitting you might party too much, or abuse drugs (alcohol or… all of the above) of any kind to numb emotional pain. Admission can mean the start to getting the assistance you need to get over it. In addictive situations, that’s where health begins.
Wishing Demi Moore all the best in her recovery and full emotional healing, that many people in America could relate to.

FOX NETWORK’S BONES CAST GET A SALARY BONUS
I remember when I worked in Beverly Hills and one of my jobs was working with the cast of Bones - we did a four-paged spread in Hello Magazine at a Beverly Hills restaurant. In those days, the cast were first season kids and weren’t too sure whether the show would survive.
Today THR reports: “Fox’s ‘Bones’ Cast to Get Big Salary Increase
Michaela Conlin, T.J. Thyne, Tamara Taylor and John Francis Daley will now earn in the mid-five figures per episode range to remain on the drama should it get an eighth season. Read more.

HOW KIRK DOUGLAS HELPED TO BREAK BLACKLIST
ABC’S David Muir zooms viewers in to celebrate the life of Kirk Douglas, as a Hollywood light who stood against censorship in a culture where politics was too heavy-handed and blacklist occurred from government. A friend and mentor named Robert, who is 91 and lives in Beverly Hills, once got black-listed because he worked as a journalist who would socialize with black people in Los Angeles when reporting.
He was Jewish, yet he could pass for Parsee. Robert was associated to Lena Horne‘s circle of friends, when Lena was black-listed as a communist. He was blacklisted too. They were crazy times. Robert is still a registered member of Pen America to this day, an organisation that is a global literary community dedicated to protecting free expression and celebrating literature in humane ways.
David Muir’s story goes: “In the 1950s Hollywood was consumed by the blacklist. Writers, producers and actors were called before Congress amid fear they might be Communists. The mere mention of a name was enough to end a career.
“It was the worst time in Hollywood,” Hollywood veteran Kirk Douglas told ABC News. “Everybody told me I was crazy.”
Crazy because as a producer of Spartacus Douglas put his own career on the line, his own fortune, to hire Dalton Trumbo, one of those writers on the blacklist.
“If you do it … you’ll never work in this town again. You will be declared a Communist,” Cleo Trumbo, Dalton’s wife said people told Douglas.
But Douglas, hired Dalton Trumbo anyway, and Spartacus became the top movie of the USA that year. The movie wasn’t only a box-office winner, it was also instrumental in breaking the blacklist.”
Douglas realized that within the face of Dalton Trumbo’s faceless story was his own story, that “there by the grace of God, go I.” He acted on that basis with integrity in liberty, in one pivotal action of inclusion that went beyond surface appearances of the milieu-of-the-day, thus changing history. With confidence in peace Douglas disciplined a system that had become drunk on power, elitist exclusion for personal gain and was blind to the image of itself, while being clearly unjust towards humanity. Kirk Douglas hacked the system of inequality and greed backed unjustly by a state system’s might.
The tyranny of the blacklist was broken. He was an agent of redemption, the only true firm foundation of real grace. Freedom returned, the marginalized advanced and Kirk Douglas included others more honestly with his spirit of wise compassion and fearless courage to love others as he wanted to be treated himself. He demonstrated: “there by the Grace of God, go us.”

To the grey-set, wise Jewish doms of Beverly Hills, California… for their humanitarian philosophical thoughtfulness… their sense of humor in displaying a wider humanitarian cause through the oft shallow glitz of show biz’s circus… we say “thank you.”
