VINCE McMAHON WRESTLES FOR THE CABLE TV MARKET

VinceMcMahonToLaunchCableTVVince McMahon, owner of the World Wrestlers Entertainment Inc brand, has announced to  the world that he wants to launch his own Cable TV Channel.

McMahon has set a two year time frame to do this in. At this rate he’s going to beat Oprah Winfrey’s OWN cable channel to the punch.

Vince Macmahon hopes to widen the WWE brand to be a bit softer, rather than steroids, tan and choreographed fight scenes in the WWE ring. He’s smart. I can’t wait to see the reality TV series of The Real Housewives of WWE.

Just kidding, but there’s so much potential to grow this brand. Congrats Mr McMahon for having vision to grow.

HORIWOOD’S TOP RANKING CELEBRITIES LIST FOR 2009

1.PeopleAngelinaJolieBradPitt

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 HEIGLShe’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 GAGAWhen 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 CYRUSShe 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 JACKSONHe 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 FAWCETTCharlie’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!

STEPHENIE MEYER MAKES A FASHION MOVE

3TwilightSageNewMoonCollection

Licensing her Twiight Saga brand has become author, Stephenie Meyer’s favorite American money making game. We hope she’s still writing too!

Get ready for Twilight Saga’s: New Moon Collection, launching at Nordstrum in October.

Can you imagine Twi-hard fans wearing these clothes to New Moon on November 20th in theaters all across the world? Yes!

At this rate, Stephenie Meyer is going to be way richer than one of her icon’s, author J.K Rowling of Harry Potter fame. Stephenie just keeps on, acquiring new merchandising contracts and raking in the big bucks!

Nice job!

Actors Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart onstage during the 2

Stephenie Meyers is a branding mogul as well as an author. Her Twilight Merchandise has expanded into cosmetics.

With clever marketing spin, the Twilight Lip Gloss, aka, Lip Venom V, that is used by make up artists on set of the popular Vampire film franchise’s films is now available to the public at $16 a pop.

TwilightLipVenomV

Here’s the low down on it:

“According to Grazia Daily, DuWop cosmetics — the same brand the “New Moon” makeup artists used on set — is launching its own “Twilight” line, and the first item to come out of the lab is a limited-edition preview of Lip Venom V, the “Twilight” version of its popular lip-plumping gloss.

Since we couldn’t say it better ourselves, here’s how DuWop described its new lip lacquer: “Instead of a gloss, Lip Venom V is a shimmering crimson lip stain suspended in a venom-laced liquid lip conditioner with a bite, and contains argan, avocado, olive oils and vitamin E. This product should be shaken before use to represent the blending of the human and vampire worlds …”

Wow! Kind of clever. It is the lip gloss Kristen Stewart uses when Robert Pattinson smooches her in Twilight and New Moon.

Will you buy some? Twilight’s marketing and branding is just insane! Strong brands can sell and move any product in a recession. Congratulations Stephanie Meyer. You’re brilliant!
