Never judge a book by it’s cover, for that we have Cover Awards in America. As a website they rock. Most of my covers I feature on Horiwood.Com are derived from their research and team efforts to entertain US all. Thanks team. Here’s 3 they feature.
Covering Esquire, Jake Gyllenhaal talks new movie: Love & Other Drugs: “‘Anne Hathaway and I had already had sex on film (in Brokeback Mountain). There’s something about the way Annie and I both work which is inherently very musical. It’s all about rhythm. There’s a rhythm to writing, there’s a rhythm to sports, there’s a rhythm to sex. I was naked a lot in the movie. I was naked in more of it than was even in the final cut. A director’s cut? I don’t even know how that would be rated.’”
Naked. cut. rhythm – and Jake’s point is?
Fergie Covers Glamour December: The Woman of The Year feature cover girl (wears a “red wine” velvet tuxedo jacket -subtext, Lady Gagais not woman of the year) and says this about overcoming a rumored cheating husband, a meth addiction and low self esteem. Her wisdom: “You’d be surprised how addicting high self-esteem is.” Michelle Obama, Julia Roberts and Donatella Versace also made the list.
Jersey Shore’s Mike The Situation Sorrentino: gives his 8 tips on having a six pack to Men’s Fitness Magazine. Not easy to do when you’re raised on good Italian pasta. I won’t steal Cover Awards thunder totz on what they are (go here to read in full) but via Celebitchy, I totally dig his verbs. They are: eat, drink, choose, get, avoid, approach, make, give. All action words. Words of a star.

Love is contagious in the dance of life. “You just never know whose in on it”–Kim Bryan
Here in L.A, sweetness sits beside you, when sometimes you can feel a tad bit gloomy on things, and sweetness makes you smile.
Kim Bryan showed me flash mob clips today, that made us both laugh. Although the Opera singing clips were amazing, let’s go with a taste of Illinois. The smile on Oprah‘s face as The Black Eyed Peas surprised her with a dance tribute from Chicago, was precious. I think I enjoyed seeing Kim laughing at Oprah’s surprised expressions, more than seeing Oprah celebrating the kickoff start of her 24th season.
“I’ve got a feeling that today’s gonna be a good day… so just dance.”
When you witness scenes like this, reminds you how much spirit the American people have. An eclectic tapestry of colorful people who love life, and love fun. Thank you Kim, Oprah and thank you Chicago.

Poor Fergie. She took a wee fall while in concert recently. Here’s that clip. Black Eyed Peas were voted American kids favorite group last night in LA at the Kids Choice Awards 2010. Congrats.

On Billboards hot 100 charts in the US of A, the most lucrative pop charts in the world, the Black Eyed Peas, hit song, Imma Be is #1 for the second time. Congrats. Love that song! It’s so LA drivetime, it sizzles.

For a youngster with hopes in the music biz, Phoenix Phenom has a good sound.
Phoenix (aka Ebony Latrice Batts) is finding out the hard way, that when you have potential in show biz, hide your hot shizzle when pitching your work to record labels. (more…)
Bing.Com have released their first, second and third placed winners for most searched for celebrities of 2009. Here they are:
1. Mario Lavandeira of the Perez Hilton website.
2. Robert Pattinson of Twilight Saga fame.
3. Megan Fox of The Transformers film series franchise.
Entertainment and celebrity blogging plus young Hollywood actors in film franchises are the most requested celebrities of entertainment via bing.com this year. Obviously bing is supported by a twenty-something audience to pull up these results and findings this year. Interesting choices.
Congrats to all three winners. Bing.Com has an 8% share of the search engine market in America. One must always give credit where credit is warranted. Oh, and here’s also the mega fabulous Will I Am of the Black Eyed Peas, because he rocks just as much too and what an amazing year this grammy winner and talented music producer has had in the Black Eyed Peas this year with music sales and #1 hits on the charts worldwide. :)
~Posted by Horiwood.Com, Hollywood California USA. 11.30.09~
The Black Eyed Peas American Music Awards double performance depicts what a fantastic year this group has had. Haters may hate them, but they are amazing. Love them!
On the life of a pop diva’s role to entertain, Fergie of The Black Eyed Peas says to Cosmopolitan Magazine:
“You know, in Italy, Catholic boys are raised to believe that there are two types of women: the Madonna and the whore. And me? I’m both.”
Madonna must be spewing as Fergie romps home, heading into Christmas. Fergie does not sound like a woman supposedly spurned at all as the Los Angeles native takes her third cover this week.
Both People Magazine and US Weekly Magazine, are reporting that Black Eyed Peas singer, Fergie of West Corvina has been betrayed by actor, Josh Duhamel, after only 9 months of happy marital bliss.
Says People: The couple have denied claims made by stripper Nicole Forrester that she had a one night stand with Duhamel at the St. Regis Hotel on Oct. 9. Showing that they’re still very much together, Duhamel and Fergie dined at Chops restaurant located next door to the St. Regis, where Forrester claims the tryst took place.
Fergie is in Atlanta filming, Life As We Know It.She’s kind of creative, taking the anti-Angelina Jolie approach with husband Josh (like Twilight‘s Kristen Stewart has also this week), in this latest round of publicity. The subtext being: ‘we don’t have an epic romance like Angelina and Brad Pitt do’ in order to make Fergie’s headlines and magazine covers. Angelina is the cover girl queen to beat. Fergie’s getting her covers.
These two kids are smart. Fergie is a native Angeleno, like Stewart is. They know how to play the fame game, like osmosis. “Rocked by Scandal” as a cover line.. could a rock-pop star get a better cover than this, to remind fans to buy their music? Clever. Let’s hope, Josh and Fergie’s marriage holds up in their love game, despite the infidelity rumors. Two covers. Chalk it!
With music sales as strong as Jason Mraz this year, he’s the Tarzan of music’s jungle. Jason Mraz‘s music single I’m Yours has been in Billboard’s top 100 the longest out of any artist this year.
Although Jason Mraz is an eco-friendly artist with radical theories like his toilet paper tips positing that ‘if the world all used less squares of toilet paper each day, more trees will be saved.’ A good point.
Congratulations to Jason Mraz for his music accomplishments this year. Mraz and The Black Eyed Peas along with Taylor Swift, are the top selling music artists this year. Mraz had a 71 week run on the top 100 charts, a record.
Ms Swift is also exceptional. She released her album Fearless in Nov 2008 and Swift’s album sold 3,789,000 units, as cited by Nielsen SoundScan. Fearless has sat for a total of 43 weeks on the Billboard 200. 11 weeks of these 43 were spent at No. 1, the most for any album released this decade.
Congratulations to Taylor Swift, Jason Mraz, Will I AM and Fergie and The Black Eyed Peas. Big music winners this year!
Hey Chicago! Celebrating Sunday, along with Oprah Winfrey, the amazing success of The Black Eyed Peas and the hit of summer, I Got A Feeling, that’s smashed all records.
Love it. I Got a Feeling is the optimistic vibe of America right now. Living the dream. Onwards and upwards. :)
Donate today. Yesterday, outside my job in Hollywood, my boss noticed a man asleep on the pavement. The image stayed in my mind. It was disturbing and not right. He was in his late 50s. So I’m posting this post today. Let’s make a difference in Los Angeles.
One of my favorite organizations in LA is Project Angel Food. They’re amazing. They look after the hungry, the homeless, the sick and the afflicted. To donate, go here.

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:

Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston share an uncanny similarity in the same taste in…. leather dresses. Funny that. Here’s the top 10 posts on Horiwood.Com today here in Hollywood, LA, California.
horiwood’slatest tweet on twitter is: “dale k has become a redhead in wellington, new zealand. woah! somebody’s gotta bottle that degree of hotness asap. :)less than 5 seconds agofrom web
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!

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!
