MAIZE. WATER. GRAINS. TE WAI POUNAMU PLANNING & WAITANGI TRIBUNAL & MIGHTY RIVER POWER
Should NZ start planting maize in the South? Update: Half of U.S. counties now ‘disaster’ areas as drought spreads…
And in New Zealand news, we’re not thinking ‘grain, maize, agriculture water usage yet. We’re thinking, ‘who owns the water’ and The Waitangi Tribunal’s findings on that being hurried along. NZ’s Treasurer, Bill English appears with broadcaster Tini Molyneux above.
Stock Watch: Most African and Mid-East nations leaders buy their grain supplies a year or two in advance. It’s a really good time to invest in grains in the world if the US is going through drought.
Wisdom: If NZ is to prepare for the surge in food prices to feed the world and start stockpiling grains for export – it might help the famine crises that will develop in the next year or so. It will reduce wars and bloodshed too.

LIKE A G6: HAMISH BOND & ERIC MURRAY’S DOUBLE GOLD WORLD RECORD HEAT – LONDON OLYMPICS DOUBLE SCULLS GOLD 2012
Rowing: Hamish Bond and Eric Murray cleaned up as ”hot favourites for gold, they shattered the world’s best mark for their event on the way to booking a semi-final berth. Added by a tail wind, they smashed the record for the win by clear water on the Eton Dorney course in Buckinghamshire, clocking a slick 6min 08.50sec. Their time eclipsed by 5.77s the previous best set by Britons James Cracknell and Matthew Pinsent at the world championships in Seville 10 years ago.”–Craig Stanaway, TVNZ on our World Champion crews.

JENNIFER ANISTON’S HOLLYWOOD STAR IS AT 6270 HOLLYWOOD BOULEVARD
Kurt Schlosser writes for MSNBC today, “Jennifer Aniston became the first member of the “Friends” television series to be immortalized on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.”
Corinne Heller writing for On The Red Carpet, reported Jen saying, “This is crazy. I mean, literally. I mean, I walk the streets of Hollywood Boulevard,” from 6270 Hollywood Boulevard, in front of The W Hotel, where her star is located.
It must be a very surreal moment for Jen, especially when she jets up the elevator at the W for a night cap after Hollywood events.
Los Angeles CBS reports that celebrating the special moment with Aniston was her boyfried, actor Justin Theroux, her dad John (see photo) and comedic actor peers, box office heavyweight Adam Sandler, Malin Akerman and Kathryn Hahn.
Her journey in entertainment is best summed up in the titles of the projects she’s worked on. Some of them being: Molly, Ferris Bueller comedy series, The Edge comedy series for Fox, CBS’ Muddling Through, the breakthrough role - Friends, Then There Was You, Pefect Picture, Dreams For an Insomniac, She’s The One, Rock Star, The Object of My Affection, Bruce Almighty and The Good Girl. In 2004, Jen then launched into filmwork on Rumor Has It, Derailed, Friends With Money, Marley & Me, He’s Just Not That Into You, The Bounty Hunter, Love Happens, Just Go With It, The Switch and Horrible Bosses.
There’s something for everyone in Jennifer Aniston’s stellar career moves across Hollywood’s starwalk empire. Her gift to the American concept of stardom is ‘bad hair is totally unacceptable,’ if your star fades ever, ‘just throw in a batch of cute puppies,’ ’be sweet and forgiving no matter what,’ ‘don’t take yourself too seriously, as the chances are – nobody cares as much as you do,’ even when you plan, ‘hold things in your world lightly as precious gifts are always on loan.’ She also learned from the tabloid industry, ‘being cast in America’s longest running and most favorite Hollywood tabloid triangle can lead to type casting in real life - but what can you do? Just go with it.’
Most of all through the pain and joys of life, in her onscreen role as Rachel Green, Jen gifted America the concept of although it is often ’a thankless task,’ one should ‘always endeavor to be a good friend.’
–Congratulations. :)

MOVIE IDEAS – WALK THE DOG SPLITSVILLE POLITICS by THE KIWI EX-WIFE CLUB
Living in New Zealand, you get to read all of the rather quirky news stories here. Many of them would make Hollywood movie script ideas. I kid you not.
Here’s a movie Jennifer Aniston could star in, if it was adapted to an American neighborhood context. The movie premise scene? this quote from a politicians spurned ex-wife to his new wife: “you have my husband, you cannot have my dogs.”
Here’s that story, that looks like a nightmare for a judge to sort out. It reads like this: “
A prominent political figure and his ex-wife have been told they must share the custody of their two dogs after a long-running dispute in the Family Court.
Strict suppression orders surround the case, which includes an allegation of dog-napping on the street of a plush Auckland suburb in November 2010.
The ex-wife – to be referred to as D – saw her ex-husband’s new partner walking the dogs and is alleged to have unclipped one of the animals from its lead and put it in a car.
D told the court in April she told her ex’s new partner: “You have my husband, you cannot have my dogs.”
Her ex-husband – referred to as C – sought the court’s intervention.
Judge David Burns issued his reserved decision yesterday.
He said he had not been asked to make a long-term arrangement but in the short term the couple had to share the dogs.
“Neither party seems to me to have any greater claim to the dogs than the other.”"
For the full story and judges resolution, go here. It really is one of those stories, about the many things judges are called upon to act on. Sounds tense, perfect conflict matter for an entertaining comedic feature film.

SMART WATER – JENNIFER ANISTON ROLLS LIKE A G6, PUPPIES GALORE, SMART WATER MODEL MARKETING
What friends do for friends… the art of smart water by Jennifer Aniston.
True stars make sure the smartest drinkable water in the world is available to all people on the planet – Horiwood 2010′s.
Jennifer Aniston‘s new promotional video for Smart Water begins with a chubby faced child lip syncing to the song Like a G6. Aniston then appears surrounded by cute ‘golden retriever’ puppies mimicking the UK’s Andrex marketing campaign who employ the same idea for warm fuzzies, brand awareness.
Next, a talking parrot appears. Lol! Then computer generated babies follow who start dirty dancing. Amidst a gazillion Aniston hair flicks, a man appears crying at double rainbows, Aniston comforts him. (That’s too funny!). A ginger haired dude appears, telling Jen he’s been in love with her ‘like forever.’
Kicking him in the groin (Jersey Shore styles) Aniston replies “Sorry… I’ve just been told that’s worth about a 100,000 hits.”
Aniston then dances to Gerry Rafferty’s Baker Street. Perhaps the funniest thing about the video is when Aniston tries to drink seductively from a bottle of smart water. She bursts out laughing instead. It is just water.
Jen’s team of friends then all dance and decide what to call the video. “Jen Aniston’s Sex Tape” is one suggestion. The video ends on that note. “I love it” Aniston humorously says.
My favorite part of the video is that she used the Beaner Kee Kee lip syncing kid. Brills. Perhaps making a reference to how kids are being used as parrots today to lip sync messages, not even meant for kids.
What a video! Aniston can now cover off sex tape in her star template. Albeit in a classy way.
Here on Horiwood.Com we do SMART WATER too, click on Jenn’s pic to make a difference.
For music, like a Kiwi6, click on artist Brooke Fraser‘s pic to hear her pop tune. Cute.

INDUSTRY TOWN NEWS – HILLBILLY PULP FICTION IN BERLIN NEWS AND JUSTIN BIEBER IN 3D RULES BOX OFFICE FRIDAY
Hollywood is being ruled by a sixteen year old tween Elvis at the minute. At the box office race this weekend Justin Bieber’s new 3D documentary movie won Friday with $12.5 M. Adam Sandler’s Just Go With It film should be the overall no.1 movie this weekend.
The Hollywood Reporter examines all the things you can do leading into the BAFTA awards.
Producer Gavin Palone has been signed by UTA. That’s big news for a man whose known as “The Dark Prince” of Hollywood.
The King’s Speech will chalk up over $200 million at the box office by Oscars big weekend.
Sony/ Facebook’s “Two David’s” Buzz Machine for the Oscars race here in Hollywood is starting to look a bit like David Prior’s brand new 90-minute feature doco film, How Did They Ever Make A Movie Of Facebook? (Watch a bit of it here.) The Arclight, Sherman Oaks is the venue if you’d like to be a part of it, tomorrow (Sunday). Pior and Fincher have worked in combo, with documentaries made for Finchers films The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Zodiac, and Panic Room. David Prior will be doing the Q&A after the film too. Reserve at 310.244.3901.
BERLIN – Paul Walker is starring in Pawn Shop Chronicles, a thriller thatFred Durst will direct. Jordan Schur and David Mimran of Mimran Schur Pictures are producing with Steven Schneider, who produces via his Room 101 shingle. Durst, lead singer of Limp Bizkit, is also producing. Lionsgate is handling international sales and will also distribute domestically.
“This is a hillbilly Pulp Fiction,” said Schur, calling the script “fast-moving and action-packed. It’s also very funny. It’s got all these elements to really pack a punch.” The interconnected stories center on a missing wedding ring which leads to a wild-goose chase involving meth addicts, skinheads and an Elvis impersonator. Actor-turned-scribe Adam Minarovich, who at one point worked in a pawn shop in North Caroline, wrote the script.
U.K IMDB is reporting that FlashForward alum Jack Davenport is set to co-star opposite Debra Messing in the NBC hourlong pilot Smash, which was based on an idea by Steven Spielberg. The pilot, from DreamWorks TV and Ums, follows a cross section of characters who come together to put on a Marilyn Monroe musical on Broadway led by the musical’s composer Tom and lyricist Julia (Messing). British actor Davenport will play Derek, a fierce and intelligent musical choreographer trying to find his next big project who loves the idea of the Marilyn Mornore musical. He also joins Megan Hilty in the pilot, written by Theresa Rebeck and to be directed by Michael Mayer. Smash landed Davenport in a competitive situation as he was also holding an offer for the lead in Marc Cherry‘s ABC pilot Hallelujah. Sounds like a winner!
What everyone’s listening to on iPod in Hollywood is… Ms Britney Spears and Hold it Against Me. Crazy, hazy, catchy dance music. “If I say my heart is beating loud, if we could escape the crowd somehow… “

HOLLYWOOD STARS AND GOOGLE YOGA – JAKE GYLLENHAAL CELEBRATES JENNIFER ANISTON’S 42ND BIRTHDAY IN NEW YORK
If I didn’t have Michael K of New York to refer to, I swear I wouldn’t know who Jennifer Aniston is dating next. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I once dated someone here in Hollywood, whose yoga teacher was the roommate of Minnie Driver in Malibu and who also was Jen‘s personal one-on-one yoga coach too. So, I felt like I knew Jen because I heard a lot of good things about her. These days though, Michael K’s blog let’s me know exactly what Jen’s up to on a daily basis. She appears to be a bit of a New York obsession.
Life & Style: tell us that Ms. Aniston “celebrated her 42nd birthday on Feb. 11 by having an intimate dinner with Jake Gyllenhaal in NYC.
The startlet took a break from her whirlwind promotional tour for her new film Just Go With It and made her way to The Spotted Pig restaurant where she dined in a private room with a group of friends and her former hunky co-star. “Jake and Jen looked really happy and really seemed to be enjoying themselves,” an eyewitness tells the Scene Queens. “They looked like they were strategizing a way to exit the restaurant probably because they didn’t want to be photographed together.” Shortly after their discussion Jen exited the restaurant with her friends in tow. Though Jake was not in the group, it is possible he could have snuck out the back door while no one was looking.
JENNIFER ANISTON LANDS A PEOPLE COVER, TALKING DATING, EXES, LATE BLOOMING AND “HAVING BABIES”
People Magazine very sweetly ran a cover of Jennifer Aniston, claiming that there were major things (left) to reveal about Aniston.
Aniston says, ”I’m really happy, really. My version of happiness is sitting where I’m sitting right now.”
On learning from dating and her relationships Aniston says, ”I learned from every single one of them.” she says. “I think I’m just sort of a late bloomer. Whatever is supposed to be my destiny, my life person, I think I just had to go through all these stages first. There’s no part of me that doesn’t know that everything is happening the way it’s supposed to be happening.”
“I think people honestly just want to see me as a mom and married and barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen, and I just want to say, ‘Everybody, relax! It’s going to happen. I know myself at the moment,” she says. “I’m not against doing it on my own, if it really led to that place. I just don’t think that’s going to be the case.”
She’s always such a sweetheart – how could you not include Aniston in celebrity news in 2011. Out of Jen’s original cast mates and peers in that Friends TV show, it is Aniston that is still proving that she’s a Hollywood fit, savvy survivor!
Jen’s new film Just Go With It with 7th highest box office earning Hollywood figure Adam Sandler proves that comedies and engendering laughter in cinema – is not a bad recipe for success as a star. Laughter is needed in these times. If a rom-com spreads the joy – it’s getting major press on this blog. Why not!
Of Just Go With It, the Los Angeles Times’ John Horn says the movie “plays to the demographics” a bit. “It’s a bawdy comedy for randy guys starring a nearly naked swimsuit model. Or it’s a smart romance for women about finding the perfect man. If you believe Sony‘s advertising campaign for “Just Go With It,” this weekend’s Adam Sandlermovie might be both of those things.
Movie studios sometimes use slightly divergent marketing tactics to attract different demographics to their films, but Sony’s double-barreled sales effort for “Just Go With It,” a movie about a plastic surgeon who pretends to be miserably married to attract single women, provides a good study in how pitches for the same film can be dramatically distinct depending on who’s being courted.
When the audiences like what they see, romantic comedies — especially those opening on Valentine’s Day weekend — can deliver box-office fortunes. A year ago, New Line’s fittingly titled Valentine’s Day opened to $56.3 million, eventually grossing more than $110 million in domestic theatrical release (a follow-up, New Year’s Eve, is due later this year).”
Go Jennifer Aniston, Adam Sandler and new hottie Brooklyn Deckler.

JENNIFER ANISTON WANTS TO ADOPT, DIE TRYING IS A GOOD BAND AND SIR ELTON’S NEW PARENTING GETS SORTA CENSORED SOMWHERE
Two Magazine covers tackle the topic of parenting, Hollywood style, in these two magazine covers.
Apparently Jennifer Aniston wants to adopt. Peeps getting press already off the babies they don’t even yet have are a trip. It’s like kuros for being an invisible parent. Needless to say Louis Bardo Bullock has totally stolen Jennifer Aniston’s cover thunder. Carrie Underwood is already two month’s pregnant and Christina Arguilera‘s parenting skills get the tabloid treatment too. Will she lose son Max? It’s not like Arguilera is in a teen mom reality TV show, but okay then!
Cover Awards writes of Sir Elton John‘s magazine cover today: ”A whirlwind day! For those who’ve been keeping up, a Harps store in Arkansas decided to be place a gray plastic “Family Shield” over a stack of UsWeekly magazines featuring Elton John, David Furnish and their adopted baby.
After speaking to several employees, we learned a Family Shield is placed over a magazine by a manager’s discretion once customers have complained. News of the Harps Elton John Family Shield controversy hit the web and spread around the country like wildfire, causing Kim B. Eskew, the President and COO of Harps, to issue a statement saying the corporate office had received complaints and the shield was removed.
Eskew failed to apologize, however, leading one to believe this particular chain may engage in similar shenanigans in the future. What are your thoughts?” My thoughts are, you can’t even see David Furnish‘s eyeballs on an equitable level as Elton’s. What’s up with that – before any parenting is even discussed? In a nation where porn is rarely censored on the magazine racks, this seems a bit surreal.
Cover Awards is such a good website. Check them out to see some of the hottest magazines on sale in America.
While I’m blogging, Orlando’s buddies are in the Los Angeles based band Die Trying. Here’s their song that was a big hit Oxygen is gone. Jassen Jensen (of the band) apparently has written 30 new songs. Wowsa!

JENNIFER ANISTON REPORTEDLY DISTANCES HERSELF FROM CHELSEA HANDLER
Huffington Post speculates as to whether Jennifer Aniston is distancing herself from her new buddy Chelsea Handler. No one really wants to be close to either Dr Drew or Chelsea Handler this week in the Hollywood hood. Handler and Drew attack people they haven’t met and don’t know anything about. Anyone would think they both thought they were like bloggers or something. ;)
It could all change in a week though. Chelsea could be Hollywood’s darling next week if she did something extremely funny to redeem herself. That’s show biz.
A general rule of thumb though is that, if you’re a team player, you just might observe that when someone is in the act of promoting a Hollywood movie, that this clearly is not the best time to attack them publicly. Simply because California’s economy rides on the success of movies doing well. If you can’t observe that one rule–Hollywood views you as being just a little bit dumb as you could hurt our economy. Believe it or not, movie stars are also cultural treasures of America–more so than talk show hosts or reality TV peeps. There’s a whole tradition that goes with movie stars in Hollywood. It’s sort of military, you discover if you live here. To diss someone without a purpose (other than for yourself alone), makes it look like you don’t really know Hollywood history.
ENTITLED CHELSEA HANDLER NEEDS TO TRAVEL TO A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY, ADOPT OR BREED ABOUT NOW, THAT’S ALL HER ANGELINA JOLIE DISSING RANTS REVEAL
The wikileaks scandal taught us that it is writers typed words that are often more important than the faces that present this ‘truth’ or information.
Up until now, I have liked Chelsea Handler, the Jewish-Catholic girl from New Jersey who slept with her boss, to keep her job on E! Entertainment and rise as a talk show star of Los Angeles of younger funnier women on the block in California.
Handler’s claim to fame is saying the word gay as many times as she possibly can in one taped episode of her talk show. She actually doesn’t have a real gay brother, but she pretends she’s the sister of people who identify with being gay. So many American girls are famous with the gay word and a bottle of peroxide it all gets a bit thin when so many compete against each other as a base to fame with this tactic.
Basically, this is Chelsea’s gig. She dyes her hair blonde and then says “gay, gay, gay” a million times, to be funny and famous. It’s so thin to me, her whole schtick. Normally though, she’s quite funny with her jokes gay writers have written for her. I have laughed at her on many occasion–because Chelsea’s writers are kind of ridiculous with Chelsea as their puppet face. I always look at the writing, whether that be in entertainment, politics or business–not the face presenting the information alone. Writers are funnier and just as authentic to me, than presenters.
Now Handler is dissing Angelina Jolie in “supposed to be comedy live shows” (more…)
CHELSEA HANDLER’S STAR GETS HOTTER AND THE HORIWOOD TOP TEN 11-26-10
Everything about Los Angeles talk show host Chelsea Handler is hot these days.
Above, Chelsea managed to get Taylor Swift onto her show to confess she’s a fan. Handler is having Thanksgiving holidays with Jennifer Aniston in Los Cabos, Mexico (see pics below) and even her co-hosts/ writers of The Chelsea Lately Show are appearing in Hollywood comedies like Morning Glory and No Strings Attached. This is what can happen to girls who are half Catholic, half Jewish from New Jersey and who are funny and date their boss. Love it.
In fairness, I’m running this Chelsea Handler spotlight post today as Chelsea’s Boss’ Boss of E! Entertainment Television is Comcast and NBC/ Universal, who are broadcasting The Rugby World Cup in America next year. This makes them super hot for that pioneering sports spirit. By proxi, Chelsea Handler and her team too. Nice work from Chelsea all round in L.A! A funny girl.

NICK CLARKE OF LEICESTERSHIRE LOOKS LIKE THE BEANER KEE KEE KID IN THAT FIDDY CAMEO VIDEO
Thought for today: With a nose, that only a mother could love, Nick Clarke of Leicestershire looks a bit like that Beaner KeeKee YouTube (lip syncing star) kid, in that Fiddy cameo video & Jennifer Aniston Smart Water Video that were viral hits on the internet once.
Arriving from Thailand recently, Nick was hospitalized immediately in New Zealand for two weeks recovering from a gammy soccer leg. He’s in NZ for at least a year. Leicester City is Nick’s football team. “Best Team ever mate!” he reckons.
Oh… I was just kidding about Nick’s mother! :)
[Cheers Nick].
