1 bilion people in the world don’t have access to clean drinking water. Yet we are made up of 63% H2O as people. I think true celebrity is about whose moving water flows in the world. It’s as simple as something like that.
Nicole Richie is one of the brightest stars that does all year round. She’s our girl. Click on pic to learn more about what we can do through initiatives like Global Water.
To make clean water flow in dry places where it needs to be the most, let’s do it. Thanks. Love you all.

Guest Commentary: Callum Saunders of The Social Senate Blog has something worthwhile to say today about Apple muscling in to the Social Networking chomp markets.
We’ve become a global tribe, who don’t always want to hear what leaders have to say (George W. politics after-math), being social networking entrepreneurs like Apple’s Steve Jobs, gold bicycle to trek it out to for Apple stake holders; as people want to talk about themselves, their lives, and choose their own leaders via social networking. Jobs is a smart cookie.
For politicians to be effective, they have to be entertaining, funny and like good music as this is the fuel that keeps peoples spirits up in recession years.
And remember when Lady Gaga stopped by Apple HQ in California? Here’s what she came up with, for Ping and Apple too on her iTUnes, in the form of this video. Any fan of the world’s #1 pop star, would feel privileged to look at her alleged music influences, tastes and preferences. A good move on the marketing chess board for Apple. But Callam’s useful words, follow around Gaga’s spiel.
Is Apple Ping promising or problematic as Apple steals Pingomattic’s branding? I repeat, corporate stealing. Why isn’t Callum’s whole blog entry about that? But anything that Apple okays soon become the norm for all IT users where music is shaping up to be key to growth.
Netflix announced via its blog (of course?!) that their app for iPhone and iPod touch peeps is available today. Hollywood films are now individualized in the palms of audiences hands.
Hollywood entertainment and celebrity news picks you liked today are these. Happy Friday.
Entertainment Weekly features John Lennon and Paul McCartney of The Beatles this week. The Beatles brand is having quite a surge with the release of: The Beatles: Rock Band, rare photographs of the group and a reissue of all Beatles albums.
Sir Paul McCartney is working hard to secure a nice retirement fund. You can never have enough money, as he shows. The Beatles have always produced great music. Will you buy their albums reissues to own pieces of music history? September 9th is the big launch day of Beatles product.
Of course Apple is salivating at what this will do for music sales in iTunes.
Kristen Stewart’s simplicity and beauty dazzles on the cover of Dazed & Confused magazine. Totally trippy! While Madonna celebrated her 51st birthday,with three of her children. Even trippyer! She’s looking good.
When the city of Los Angeles votes their news topics of interest each day in Hollywood, here’s how it looks:

Blog numbers don’t lie on the internet. Their numbers are 3-4 months ahead of magazines in who the world’s biggest stars are.
These are the top ranking stars and celebrities so far this year, here in Hollywood. For whatever reason, you the global audience on Horiwood.Com voted for them and gave them the attention you feel they deserve as entertainers who amuse you. Enjoy your celebrities for 2009!
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie may be what everyone perceive to be the most searched for celebrities in the world, but it is actually surprise up-and-coming stars, like Nikki Reid of The Twilight Saga, Johnny Markoudakis of West Hollywood and Miss Tessa (a fashion designer, artist and model) of New Zealand who keep the fame game interesting.
Of course Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett’s deaths and Rihanna’s domestic violence issue with Chris Brown have been some of the biggest media moments this year in entertainment. 2009′s popularity this year however, has to belong to author Stephenie Meyer and the bevvy of young Hollywood actors that she created and spun into young Hollywood superstars with her Twilight Saga novels through Summit Entertainment.
Of noteworthy significance is what Stephenie Meyer has done for Native American people in giving young American ‘Indian’ actors a center stage spotlight in mainstream cinemas again in our times. That’s amazing today, as the blog numbers show.
So, it’s with great pleasure that I present to you, your 50 top celebrities on Horiwood.Com. Thanks Team.
1. NIKKI REID:She is the naughty girl of the Twilight Saga film franchise, whose often held under wraps, by Summit Entertainment. When the heat was on Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson’s chemistry, it was Nikki’s scene stealing appearance with Native American Indian youngster, Taylor Lautner, that garnered Nikki Reid the top spot all year on Horiwood.Com. This one pic is the most searched for on this entertainment and news website in Hollywood. Reid is a big ‘sleeping’ star in the making.
2. DAVID CARRADINE: the veteran, Hollywood actor’s kinky & mysterious death, was a fascinating look into the darker side of human nature. People all over the world are still interested in David Carradine’s tragic passing.
3. KATHERINE HEIGL: She’s one of the most underpaid TV actresses in prime time. Blake Lively of Gossip Girl earns thousands more than Heigl does on hit medic show, Grey’s Anatomy. Heigl’s costar, Ellen Pompeio does too. Despite, being under appreciated in the TV pay stakes and being gracious about it, Katherine Heigl is often framed as a b*tch by LA media. However, my friends who work on the set of Grey’s each day, say that you will never find a sweeter star whose more of a team player in Hollywood than “Ms Heigl.”
Her divaness to turn on a show Hollywood style becomes apparent on the red carpet, or in the quirky romantic comedy films she appears in (Knocked Up and The Ugly Truth). Heigl channels old Hollywood glamour. She is the real deal, and comes in at #3 on Horiwoood.Com’s most searched for celebrities.
4. HAYDEN PANETTIERE: The stories that the film crew of Heroes TV series, tell in Hollywood of Hayden Panettiere are hysterical. This girl is not a child in any way, but she has a cult teen following here in America. Hayden Panettiere is a young actress who fascinates American girls. They all want to be like her. This image of Hayden in a country straw hat, and cut off shorts, clocks in at number 4 for the year to date, on Horiwood.Com. America loves a country girl gone bad. Add Heroes’ action, super-powers to her and Hayden Panettiere has it made.
5. LADY GAGA: When it comes to the world of pop, there is no other debut artist who has made the impressions with music, attitude and show-personship than Stefani Germanotta’s Lady Gaga creation. She always brings the fierce, is a great songwriter and lyricist; and Lady Gaga will wear anything outrageous to capture a headline every week. She’s a relentless marketing machine. However, it is her claim that Lady Gaga is bisexual, that ensured her rise to fame this year, as this post proves on Horiwood.Com.
6. AMBER ROSE: She is not a singer, she is not an actress. Her claim to fame is that she is an African American model, who happened to date hip hop artist, Kanye West. But Amber Rose totally fascinates people daily on Horiwood.Com. She is the most underrated person on the celebrity set in America. But her fame online supersedes many stars who still say that they are stars. The internet never lies. That’s Amber Rose’s proof in today’s celebrity rankings. This girl is huge!
Her sultry beauty and no nonsense diva attitude, combine the best of fashion, urban chic groove and hip hop music. She just is who she is, a true star as her ratings position and popularity reveals on Horiwood.Com. Amber Rose is the new Nicole Richie, basically.
7. KRISTEN STEWART: The Twilight Saga’s, Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse films show how one author’s vision can create a superstar if they have the beauty, smarts and chops to fill the role. Stephenie Meyer gave actress Kristin Stewart, the chance to show the world who she really is. She’s a stunner and a big star on Horiwood.Com. LA raised, Stewart’s family all work in film, on the crew side of the production line. When Kristen stepped over the gaffer tape line, she has never looked back and a superstar, playing Twilight’s Bella was born.
I love her singing voice too. Like her face, her voice is so pretty and soulful. A girl who can make both Robert Pattinson hot and also Taylor Lautner so hot, has got to have enough sensuality to do this. Stewart proves she has. She is often a hate target of bloggers like PerezHilton.Com and female fans in love with her costar, Robert Pattinson, but Stewart keeps going from strength to strength here in her native LA. We love her!
8. MILEY CYRUS: She is because she is. She stepped into the ready made American shoes, of Britney Spears, teen pop star sensationalism. Having met Miley Cyrus in person, there is nothing to explain why America’s reigning teen superstar has the ranking that she does on Horiwood.Com with our global audience. I swear, Miley is so much prettier in person. She’s also incredibly smart. In person, Cyrus is so humble. That’s the shocking part. She’s a bundle of sweetness that fears God and who is naughty a lot too like any kid her own age, adjusting, growing and living life.
In spite of being a global megastar, Miley Cyrus is just such an American teenager! Love her!!!
9. MICHAEL JACKSON: He was the King of Pop and the third most famous person on the planet, after the Queen of England and The Pope. The world stopped to honor a person who was rich in complexity and talent. He paved the way for all African Americans to be loved in high profile positions in America and worldwide. This cannot be diminished or forgotton as your votes this year show today.
There will never be a performer quite like Michael Jackson. Barry Gordy described Michael Jackson as “the greatest entertainer on the planet” at his memorial service. Too true!
10. FARRAH FAWCETT: Charlie’s Angels hottest star ever. The beauty of Farrah Fawcett was always her strength of spirit. This became apparent as the lovely Farrah left this world, losing her battle to anal cancer. She ranks by all audience viewers worldwide at #10 on Horiwood.Com so far in 2009. What a gem of a human being!
She’s beaten out The Pope and Barack Obama today as a news topic of interest. Q’orianka Kilcher, the actress who is perhaps best suited to play Leah Clearwater in the Twilight Saga’s Eclipse film is smoking hot news in Young Hollywood today on Horiwood.Com. There’s just no stopping her. Amazing!
As voted by you, worldwide, here’s your Top 10 news picks today. Enjoy!
horiwood’s last twitter pick was from dale who is back in NZ :( Here it is: “@horiwood Definitely home – nothin like singing the Lord’s Prayer in Maori this am at Te Ataakura’s christening & crying over the AB’s loss.”9:50 PM Aug 1stfrom webin reply to horiwood
Memo: NB TO SIMON COWELL & DAVID GEFFEN – SUSAN BOYLE SHOULD RECORD A DUET WITH THE POPE
The woman from Scotland who has had over 700 million people view her Britain’s Got Talent audition performance of I Dreamed A Dream from Les Miserables, should so record a duet with The Pope whose music CD, Alma Mater drops on November 30th for the Christmas Market.
These two (supposedly) mature virgins are both releasing a debut music album each, and who have interested audiences of hundreds of millions globally… are THE ticket in debut artists with huge global audience appeal (sorry egocentric pop star kids, but THEY ARE!). (more…)
DAVID GEFFEN + THE POPE = $ MAKING OPPORTUNITY IN POP[E] “MUSIC”
David Geffen, that guy who you see eating at Dan Tanner’s in West Hollywood, and whose exec peeps have to dress like him in matching suit jackets, wants a share of the Catholic Church’s lucrative worldwide audience markets.
1 billion Catholics follow The Pope as the leader of their church. In fact the Catholic Church has as many followers as Indians from India and the Chinese in China. This means that The Pope leads 1/6th of the world’s population. The dude has a huge audience.
Now, David Geffen has signed Pope Benedict XVI to release an album featuring prayers and litanies in five languages. That’s some serious pimping for any pop star to accomplish, let alone a head priest.
The record is called,Alma Materfrom Geffen Records. According to the little men in the matching David Geffen suit jackets, the pope has an “incredible voice.” That’s a bonus, as he is no Hugh Jackman in the looks department! Phewsh! (more…)
While Mariah Carey, Lil Wayne and Diddy’s new album release dates have been pushed back, Clive Davis is moving Whitney Houston’s I Look To You, comeback album forward by a day. Nice work Whitney Houston! She’s on a comeback roll!
For what she’s gifted the world in music, we love this woman! Here’s 10 Hot Posts Right Now on Horiwood.Com. Enjoy!
Apple are so clever at growing their brand. Music is the key to all of their products. You know it. In fact, in China, even under a heavy regime of censorship in Communist rule, the only thing the Chinese people unanimously say they’ve missed out on, about Western life and culture is, access to pop stars and music.
The future of the internet and also any software or digital media devices by any software company at growing markets (including into the 1 billion plus people in China) is music dependent.
Because Apple knows this, they’ve been working hard to grow their music related media packages with iTunes.
Here’s the latest: Apple and the four major record labels, Warner Music, EMI, Sony Music, and Universal Music Group have partnered to create virtual bundles that have online interactive features. All music related marketing to grow their brand. They’ve dubbed it Cocktail.
The gimmick offers sleeve notes, photos, lyric sheets, music videos with selected music downloads. An interactive book, allows a virtual album experience, where your favorite singers’ songs can be played directly from the book.
Nice. What next? The virtual concert experience too? You know it! Miley Cyrus needs to be offered a deal from Apple, to head that up. She’s got the jump on that.
Cocktail launches in September and if Apple are as smart as they say they, the Michael Jackson packaged bundle will be freakin amazin, if they want this concept to take flight in the world with success.
If they’re really smart… Apple iTunes will also create the WhoDunnit: What killed Michael Jackson Virtual Boardgame too… which is the favorite game the media are playing here in the US right now, to sell their advertiser’s space for bucks in a recession. MJ + Music = big money ya’ll.
Troy Jensen gives Kim Kardashian a ‘Twilight Makeover”, in this age where gothic vamp is like Hollywood… scorching hot today. So is your news. Here we go again… here’s 10 hot celebrity news posts right now on Horiwood.Com. Ejoy.

Here in Hollywood this is how entertainment news was racked up by you worldwide, here in Hollywood on Horiwood.Com. Enjoy!
Tom Tom Cruise turned up at the Beyonce concert, Monday in LA, with his son Connor and daughter Isabella. The star sent Beyonce fans into a frenzy and he graciously smiled and posed for obsessed fans in a blaze of flashing fan cameras.
Sitting 6 meters away from the VIP box Tom sat in, in the same row, I had a good view. The dude’s hair and skin is amazing! Cruise has boy bangs better than Zac Efron used to, whose just lopped his off. Tom has seriously amazing hair. And he’s defying the age factor in a super human-esque way.
Beyonce of course… was just out of this world… amazing. She’s the strongest female singer/ dancer performer combo the US has, and she’s black and she’s a diva. Just incredible! Her voice was a little husky tonight, but she still delivered all of the high notes. Cameron Diaz danced like a free spirited rocker to Queen Bee (love her) in a white singlet tee top and Jeans. Gweneth Paltrow rocked it in a black bra and singlet top too. She had daughter Apple with her (complete with air muffs on). Cammie got down to the mega mega more obscure black stuff, like she was black. Gwennie got down to Bee’s hit ‘Single Ladies.’ Loved that! Gwennie and Tom, left The Staples Center during the Halo finale. Cameron stayed on and clutched her chest, all throughout Beyonce’s very moving Michael Jackson tribute.
When you look up to a music icon, like Beyonce did as a child, and sought to emulate their music success, which she has done… what does it all mean, when you can be snuffed out so easily.
Beyonce’s tribute seemed to convey that. Cameron Diaz totally got that too. Both women are amazing and you had a sense that it’s a fine line being a celebrity and giving your all to the world to entertain, when you are just a fragile human butterfly also. Powerful! God is King ya’ll. At our best, we are all mere vessels, angels (messangers) of God. That’s what I saw tonight.
Here from Hollywood, here’s how you ranked your celeb news today. Enjoy!

An uncanny resemblance of a young Michael Jackson in his prime (part three of his prime time anyway!), was unveiled at Madame Tussauds, London, Thursday. It looks so lifelike. Now MJ’s son blanket, doesn’t have to carry around his MJ doll in his grief, but Aunty Janet Jackson can take him on a wee family field trip to London.
I don’t care what anyone says about wax dummies… this is Art man! nice job, Madame Tussauds! Meanwhile, here in Hollywood, here’s 10 hot entertainment news posts right now.
Now you can get Michael Jackson, The Stripped Mixes from apples iTunes. Pure and undefiled MJ vocals. Priceless! MJ to the power of MJ – graphene jackson vocals.
Because she’s so important, Jennifer Aniston is on the cover of the Czech Republic’s Joy Magazine. After Angelina Jolie silently inherited Aniston’s princess baggage via partner Brad Pitt, Forbes Magazine finally checked Aniston’s mooching streak, by deservedly naming Angelina at just 34 years-of-age, the #1 celebrity in the world for 2009.
I’m glad somebody did. Thank you Forbes. Now Jenn will actually have to find another celebrity meal ticket that will kindly adopt her. Jenn has been subtly playing the sympathy card and riding Angelina’s ‘home wrecking‘ coattails for years now; in between “hanging out at Courtney and David’s house” and going to work sometimes by appearing in the odd film. We’ve given Jenn our empathetic movie ticket dollars for years now! It’s just got to stop! Young emerging actors now need them in a recession.
Playing the spurned ‘other woman’ to Angelina has been Aniston’s MAIN gig for half a decade now. Forbes totally called her on it by moving Angie up to #1. It’s now time for Jennifer Aniston to put down her hair straightening tongs for a Hollywood minute and book a plane ticket to a third world country… not just Mexico for margaritas on the beach… a real one!
Jennifer, all of America and the world gives you their blessing and permission to finally grow up, go to Africa and make a difference too! On that note…

10 hot entertainment news posts here in Hollywood on Horiwood.Com today are:
[source] Here’s one good reason why Apple continues to be a viable brand. It’s putting its user-friendly i-phones into the hands of celebrity tots, like Brooklyn Beckham.
Prime product placement to show how appealing and easy iphones are to use by all.
I don’t know if a ten year old show have an iphone. What do you think?
But it’s up to a child’s parents to decide that they should have a phone or not and David Beckham and Posh Spice have obviously decided it’s alright by them.
Doesn’t Brooklyn look like a lot like his momma Victoria Beckham as he grows up? I wonder how much Apple paid his folks to give Brooklyn the free phone. Probably an insane amount! My nieces and nephews are all waiting for their iphones now, no doubt. (hey gang!) :)
Entertainment Weekly features John Lennon and Paul McCartney of The Beatles this week. The Beatles brand is having quite a surge with the release of: The Beatles: Rock Band, rare photographs of the group and a reissue of all Beatles albums.
Disney’s Ashley Tisdale and Twilight Saga’s Ashley Green both enjoyed their downtime this weekend on both US coasts.
The Twilight Saga’s shocking casting rumors regarding the female actors chosen for Eclipse, has got Hollywood talking, Saturday.
