RACHEL HUNTER’S 2012 WAS A FREAKING INCREDIBLE YEAR FOR NEW ZEALAND REALITY TV CULTURE

A couple of horis and Rachel Hunter turn on a Kiwi Chrissie show 2012

“She sounded all a bit LA and a bit weird,” now she’s not. A NZ commentator explains why 40 is the new 20 as long as E.L James keeps selling her books at the rate she has been.  :)

The truth is, in Kiwiland we love our blonde celebrities as well as our brunettes. Summer is blonde beach babes time to shine.

No one does that better than Rachel Hunter and young Jaime Ridge (think Shiloh Jolie-Pitt grown up). A second generation star, in the same way that Renee Stewart, also rates well on this website regularly. They just have star heat. Hot naturally, like tobasco. Sorta. :)

Nice to see NZ celebrity growing up in the limelight well. In addition you can’t go past Senna Kowhai either, a Maori kid whose also of Brit royalty persuasion too.

Rachel Hunter had a huge year. (more…)

THE HALLE BERRY “WHITE MEN BEHAVING BADLY” TABLOID SHOW

While Mitt Romney got $1b thrown at him for an election campaign in a show where the Governor did wow the world, he not only went on to lose, two weeks later in a populist poll he would discover that he was voted the USA’s most “not-powerful American.” That was all a bit harsh.
Even Barack Obama invited Mitt to the Whitehouse for dinner to say “thanks for making me look good.” Washington politics are quite funny.
If that bored the heck out of you (it didn’t me and not everyone finds what I find interesting remotely interesting), then there’s always Halle Berry‘s crazy family show titled: White Men Behaving Badly where Halle is cast as the object of black beauty in a real life drama where France’s Olivier Martinez smacked down her Candian-French baby daddy, male supermodel Gabriel Aubrey in a Thanksgiving Day family drama.
I tell ya, it’s a black person’s TV show that would have Michelle Obama glued to the tabloids, reacting to every line and development in Halle’s family.
In any event, The Huffington Post (Arianna Huffington & AOL‘s news) website’s take on the domestic violence saga involving the two men in Halle’s life is a story: Movie Lines Halle Should Be Saying To Olivier Martinez. Their selection is even more ridiculous than Olivier punching out Gabriel. The quotes are (make of them what you will) from Halle’s Oscar winning career as an A-List actor:
Let’s face it, Berry is an object of black beauty. An American-Brit treasure. Here’s the crazy movie lines The HuffPo selected from all of the crazy lines Berry had to say in Hollywood.
“I need to be taken care of.”– Leticia Musgrove in “Monster’s Ball”
“No, no this is the pursuit of justice!”– Rowena in “Perfect Stranger.”
“Let’s just say my relationships don’t seem to last. “– Jinx Johnson in “Die Another Day” (more…)

JAIME RIDGE – TEEN REALITY TV STAR CELEBRITY – 49th MOST VOTED STAR 2012 -

The 49th Most Voted Star of 2012 is: Jaime Ridge.

Daughter of Matthew Ridge, a tennis teen sports star and rugby league star entertainer of New Zealand Jaime was born into celebrity.

Her mother Sally Ridge is a talented artist and celebrity TV personality too.

Yet Ridge still had to prove her own star trail. Tabloid dating this year’s no.1 sports star (that has Kiwi connections) Sonny Bill Williams, successfully taking up charity boxing and defying critics. Jaime did it again staving off her critics with New Zealand’s TV3 network to secure and land her own reality TV series has caused the New Zealand teen to rise above her peers and be noticed this year.

She lands good TV ratings in NZ.

In hot demand the Armenian-Kiwi girl who shares Armenian heritage with California reality stars like the Kardashian family of the USA, Ridge is not only lovely to look at, she’s got a funny sense of humor too.

Doesn’t take herself at all seriously. A good way to be in NZ.

Congatulation sweetheart. Rock a show 2013! :)

LONDON’S RESIDENTS WANT TO SEE CREATIVE ENTREPRENEURIAL FAMILIES SHINE MORE – KOURTNEY, KIM, KHLOE KARDASHIAN DO LONDON

USA’s leading Armenian-American celebrities brought some cheer to the UK.

Thousands turned out to see three of the Kardashian sisters launch a brand new clothing line in London for Dorothy Perkins fashion retail franchise that has an impressive global footprint with sales. Leopard prints for the UK done the American family way, is the family’s new gig for the Brit retail store (a store that does fancy footwork, coats for winter and a maternity line too).

Yet it was the sight of London’s crowds that was near Beatles status, almost that is perhaps the starring trend of this story. It is fair to say the queues were beyond just good retail shopping status too. They reveal a need that has developed in UK’s people.

What does this mean? It shows that the UK has a desire to see entrepreneurial family stars more in the UK.

This family don’t really sing (they are not pop stars). What they do is entrepreneurial marketing and lifestyle storylines of family choices via a reality TV show series they co-produce. Cross-cultural storylines is how they unabashedly roll. Hugely popular with that approach.

The trend is interesting to see emerging in the UK. Londoners are hungry to grow in business and entrepreneurial ways. That’s what these three photos show via Wenn.Com. Perhaps the UK needs to create new entrepreneurs from the throngs of UK dwelling people then. Get a ground up momentum going on to assuage the trend or reproduce the new millionaires of the UK template a bit better.

(I love the marketing of these girls of Calabasas, California. So clever. Very Charlies Angels – USA for UK-  and also slightly Bond girls too, except that there’s just three of them in the role :).

The UK needs a new line up of entrepreneurs for Young Adults. Young millionaires emerging and breaking through in the UK is what should happen. That’s perhaps what these pictures reveal if looking at the trend here. It’s always refreshing how one culture can cross over and gift another culture some encouragement from life lessons as the Kardashian girls are doing for the kids of the UK in these photos.

NOAH PHOENIX’S MUM TWEETS HER ANGEL DAY ORDEAL @ VICTORIA’S SECRET NEW YORK CITY OFFICE


“I wanted to scream,” said Brazillian supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio when told by the organziers of The Victoria’s Secret fashion show that she would be wearing a multi-million dolleros bra in the most anticipated fashion show of the American calendar year.

Before partying with Miranda Kerr the mother of Noah Phoenix, modelled the centre piece of the show. The fashion accesory was designed by London Jewelers, a company based in Long Island, New York. The jeweliers used gems including amethysts, sapphires, rubies and white, pink and yellow diamonds, the main feature being a 20 carat white diamond centerpiece.

The model says she was a bit taken aback, yet partying with fellow working mom, Miranda helped her get over it, after the show.

Models hawking it for sponsors… will say anything. Always gotta love! It’s just what they do. :) (more…)
