ANGELINA JOLIE AND BRAD PITT ENJOY SOME NAMIBIAN MALL CHRISTMAS SHOPPING
Star sighting: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were spotted shopping in a Namibian mall while on Christmas vacations there with their whanau (family). Four years ago the fun-loving mischief one of their brood, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt (it’s genetic as Alecia Moore would sing in a rock concert with her black music director at the helm wowing the USA on tour, who did not have a white cap put on him) was born in this nation of beautiful people. Nice to see Namibia get a shout out from Hollywood’s reigning star couple this year.

KEEPING UP WITH THE KARDASHIANS AND CHRISTMAS MIRACLES FOR FAMILIES HAVING BABIES
“Children are a blessing from the Lord”–King Solomon
It’s a good thing that some families are conscious about having babies on the family social agenda radar. Birth rates and marriage rates in the USA are at an all time low right now at time of writing. In a global world, there’s always adoption from other nations. But it is good to adopt as well as families breeding too, if they’re brave. Kids are full on these days, so you need big shoulders to take on parenting in any capacity, I reckon. A nations greatest treasure are its elderly and its children. Between these two points we are all strung like pearls on an evolving cultural continuum of society.
According to OK! Magazine of America, The Kardashians are all about baby love focus in 2011 and the 2010′s. Sounds good to me. In my family, we have a beautiful bundle of joy about to arrive any day now. So exciting! A new level of family leadership emerges. This one, I think on the sports field. I just have that vibe.
Let’s get back to the Kardashians in Hollywood. OK! reports: “as they celebrate the holidays, the Kardashians are ready for a Christmas miracle — more babies to add to the family in 2011.”
Let’s hope this family gets as many family miracles as they hope for in the years ahead here in California.

RINGING MY MAORI MOM FROM CALIFORNIA THIS CHRISTMAS 11.24.10
I just spoke to my Maori mom on the phone wishing her and dad a very Merry California Christmas.
She was sooooooo excited to hear my voice in a way only a Maori mom is.
Hot topics of conversation were: Mom warning me about the perils of “Facebook oversharing.” Heavens forbid!
Mom is in her 70′s and she goes to see Bono live at U2 concerts and holidays in Paihia that is rark-it-up seaside resort township for New Year’s eve of New Zealand each year… so mom did make me laugh about Facebook. Apparently many of my beautiful, talented, breeding and entertaining family are having family Christmas in a New Zealand top secret Christmas party location, right at this minute. So… I just might have to ring into that party real soon, like So Undercover via the telephone via the top secret telephone number given to me by mom, and spice it up the party a little. ;)
To all my family/ whanau all friends in Christchurch, in Melbourne, in Papakura, in Beverly Hills, in Arizona, in China, at PPL HQ, in New Zealand, in Malibu, in Auckland The Supercity, on Catalina Island, in Westwood, in California, in Wellington and in Helensville –Mere Kirihimete, I love you and God bless.

KELLY OSBOURNE, MILEY CYRUS, EMAIL
Tweets Kelly Osbourne: “Genuinely heart broken that someone hacked and read all my personal info! is nothing sacred? Literally devastated! I’m just being Miley!!!! http://plixi.com/p/64761684“
Although it’s not devastating news, like someone died–it is annoying getting hacked. When you get hacked living in Hollywood, the experience just makes you… write more colorfully… for the next time a hacker comes along.
Let’s hope Kelly’s emailed secrets remain private. Ozzy is all the Osbourne we can handle this Christmas. His interviews with magazines this Christmas are a riot. For example, he jokes that he doesn’t know who Justin Bieber is yet and that Lady Gaga should take a break so “the fans can fall in love with her again.” The Osbournes are FULL THROTTLE this Christmas.
100% Full on!
Kelly is heading back to London for her family Christmas celebrations this year. Sounds fun.

SECURITY AT KAILUA WITH THE OBAMA’S VACATION, HAWAII
Michelle Obama is already in Hawaii with Malia Obama and Sasha Obama enjoying Kailua Beach for the family’s scheduled vacation. The First Family await Mr Obama‘s arrival from Washington DC. The President is expected to touch down in Hawaii tomorrow (Wednesday) to join his family.
Residents will soon feel the full impact of a presidential visit, AP reports via USA Today: The Secret Service began alerting residents of spacious homes along Kailuana Place last week that checkpoints will soon go up. Hawaiian Telecom personnel were busily repairing telephone wiring outside one of the Obama homes, which sit midway down a cul-de-sac.
Once authorities throw up a cordon around the neighborhood, simple pleasures like walking the beach or canoeing in a canal near the three houses will become difficult — if not impossible.
The Democratic president is not expected to engage in fundraisers or other overtly political acts. Dante Carpenter, chairman of the Hawaii Democratic Party, said he’s asked if Obama could be enticed into attending even a low-key event, but he hasn’t heard back.
“I think he’s been up to his eyeballs in horse manure and gun smoke, not necessarily in that order,” Carpenter said. “He may be looking for time with his family and that’s about it. I can’t blame him.”

THE HORIWOOD TOP TEN – MON 12.20.10
Husband. What husband, says the UK when selecting their most favorite wedding pic of Nicole Richie‘s big wedding day with Benji Madden. UK media prefer a picture of American interracial and intergenerational family-star power with Nicole and her dad Lionel Richie for this magazine cover and an image of modern family.
A very sweet picture of Michael Jackson‘s god-daughter and her dad. What a beautiful bride, Richie was. Weddings, marriage romance, commitment in love from two people to each other rising above (through and past) current economic times and anything that politicians may (or may not) say– is the new trend of the 2010′s. Long live true love.

CREATING MAGICAL CHRISTMAS MEMORIES WITH BRAD PITT AND ANGELINA JOLIE
The globetrotting Jolie-Pitt family will be having a fun Christmas this year. Talking to Ryan Seacrest on his KIISFM radio show today (Friday) Angelina Jolie confesses, “We’re going to travel with the kids and go to a random part of the world. We’re going to travel and have an adventure because that’s what we love to do.”
Jolie says her famous brood’s Christmas prezzies are all in the bag this year. ”I’ve got it all boxed and ready to go. I’m trying to get every stocking right.”
A nice touch from a woman whose giving more to Hollywood this decade over and above the call of duty, than any other Hollywood female face you can think of. Let’s hope Angelina and Brad both have a good Christmas themselves this year. Creating fun family memories is always the best Christmas present of all.

A KARDASHIAN FAMILY CHRISTMAS KARD 2010
Only in America would you see Christmas cards like this. That’s what makes America crazy good.
Growing up in New Zealand our family had American friends called The Marriotts. They would get Christmas cards just like this from their big toothy American friends abroad.
They loved getting them! Years later, I do too now. Here’s the Kardashian families’ this year.
Truly a Christmas card made in America.

FACEBOOK BROTHERHOOD – GROWING UP WITH MARK ZUCKERBERG IN PICTURES
Grow up with Mark Zuckerberg throughout the years in 6 pics via Time Magazine on S.U.
What a guy!
In Time’s latest Person of The Year Awards? Mr. Zuckerberg is listed as no.1 most influential person of 2010. He is also described as being the leader of ‘the third largest nation on earth’ or, with 600 million (one tenth) of the world’s population in his self-made kingdom.
If you’re a Facebook community peep, this would technically make Mark your ‘founding father’ or in modern day speak “your daddy.”
These photos of Zuckerberg growing up, also give a vibe of Mark being your older or younger bro too.
He’s everywhere. With a sister with a name Randi, growing up, how could you not do something awesome to put people together? *jokes*
Mark shares his fame with the J.K Rowlings audiences of her books and films by featuring his family at the Harry Potter Theme Park in Orlando, Florida. A generous gesture from a dude, who really is the real life boy wizard with a Facebook wand. Magic is in peoples simple every day words, they are allowed to share with the world and others they care about.
What is the most important thing in the world? People. People. People. This man, from the least to the greatest has included US all and our humble knowledge of words we want to share with others in his vision and enterprise.

CIARA PLANNING TO REVISIT HER SCHOOLING AMBITIONS
CIARA is planning to go back to school. The 25-year-old singer, started music at 16, is focused on her career but still longs to learn other subjects too she feels are essential to get on in life.
“I did get some years where I was still able to go to school and see my friends, so I don’t feel like I missed out on my youth. I didn’t go to college or anything,” she said. “I would like to go back to school one day and learn more because knowledge is power, so the more the better.
“I’m happy that I stopped my education when I did, in terms of seeing my career take off in the way that it did, but I wouldn’t rule out going back to school one day. If something caught my interest and inspired me to go back, then I may think about going back into education, but for now I’m focused on my career.”
“After music I would love to raise a family, have kids, because that’s one of the most important things you can do, it would really be a blessing. You have to make sacrifices. I don’t know if I would quit music completely when I had children, but it would be a big responsibility so I would have to see how things go and consider making a decision then.”
School, motherhood, music–all sound choices from a women who is so talented in so many ways already. Go kid. Nice conceptual planning.

THE HORIWOOD TOP TEN – WED 12.8.10
Kim Kardashian is the number 1 reality TV star earner of 2010. Jessica Simpson has quietly built an empire of $750 million this year with shoes, denim, swimwear, fragrances, and accessories–affordability to people is how she did it.
Achieving that goal in a global economic crises was no small feat. Good for her! Britney Spears, Jason Trawicke holiday in Mexico (below) and Jennifer Hudson is spotted with baby Daniel Ortega today. Cute. Hudson inspires us with an anthem of being grateful for the Spirit of Love that always brings us on through every threat hurdle or fear in life, as good shines in the World.
If there’s one person in America with first hand knowledge of the depth of love that resides in the American people and this nation’s great spirit it is this young lady. When she sings she dispels fear, instills courage and restores faith in the America Dream. I had the privilege to see Jennifer live because a friend kindly made that moment happened. We never left her concert the same. She’s a gift.
On that note–Let’s go people. Up!

ROYAL ROMANCE IN 3D – UK TV – REGINA AND PRINCE PHILLIP BECOME THE FUTURE
Reports Urmee Khan for the UK Telegraph:
Channel 4 will light up the U.K’s television with footage of The Queen in 3D. Urmee says that the footage of her Majesty will look like a regular television picture until viewers, reach across the coffee table over the ruby, for their special glasses where the images will strangely appear to emerge from the screen. Right in your own living room.
It’s perhaps a way of Her Majesty saying, she has a unique perspective? A very cool idea.
Director Bob Angell and cameraman Arthur Wooster shot the colour newsreel as part of a package called Royal Review. The special 3D effect was achieved by using two cameras simultaneously at different angles before blending the archived footage into one single picture. It’s about blending two views of the same existing facts pre-recorder to reflect a more relevant view today, no one has ever seen from that unique perspective.
3D Royal filmic content: The 3D footage features Queen Elizabeth II at events she attended in the lead up to and after her Coronation in 1953. A visit to the Epsom Derby features and a wee trip on the Royal Barge on the Thames. How posh! Sailing along down the river then.
Angell and Wooster, are in their 80s, and have come out of retirement to make the documentary and get behind the camera one more time and create contemporary footage of the Queen. Grey Power are seriously rocking out a show to inspire the world. Very cool.
David Glover, whose rather grand job description defines him as ‘a specialist factual commissioning editor,’ says, “When I was told that there was unseen footage of the Queen’s coronation in 3D I didn’t really believe it at first. Watching it didn’t disappoint – it was like turning the TV set into a window – you draw back the curtains and look straight back into 1953.”
David Glover adds, “Watching period 3D documentary footage is about as close to time travel as one can get. You watch as the crowds wave at the coronation and you see the young Queen Elizabeth walking right past you,” he added. Sainsburys will distribute the special red and blue glasses for free in collaboration with Channel 4. It’s like Christmas.
The two, hour-long programmes, are made by Renegade Picture Ltd/Can Communicate, in association with the British Film Institute (BFI) and will be shown later in the year.

VIRGINIA BOOTLEGGERS MOVIE, NICK CAVE, TOM HARDY AND SHIA LABEOUF
Boys. Guns. Trade. ‘Money.’ Moonshine.–exciting or an expensive hang over to humanity, already?
This movie is going to be a hit. Original Gangster’s Offensive Guard rhetoric, from Franklin Virginia. Especially for the little people of America and pub swilling UK too. Relevant as the UK and America think military.
The Wettest County in The World is a screenplay written by Nick Cave based on the book penned by Matt Bondurant.
The film stars Tom Hardy of Inception and Shia LaBeouf of Transformers and Indiana Jones fame.
Wettest is based on the story of Bondurant’s own family in Franklin County Virginia during the prohibition years.
“Based on the true story of Matt’s grandad and two granduncles, The Wettest County in the World is a gripping tale of brotherhood, greed, and murder.
The Bondurant Boys were a notorious gang of roughnecks and moonshiners who ran liquor through Franklin County, Virginia, during Prohibition and in the years after. Forrest, the eldest brother, is fierce, mythically indestructible, and the consummate businessman; Howard, the middle brother, is an ox of a man besieged by the horrors he witnessed in the Great War; and Jack, the youngest, has a taste for luxury and a dream to get out of Franklin. Driven and haunted, these men forge a business, fall in love, and struggle to stay afloat as they watch their family die, their father’s business fail, and the world they know crumble beneath the Depression and drought.
“White mule, white lightning, firewater, popskull, wild cat, stump whiskey, or rotgut — whatever you called it, Franklin County was awash in moonshine in the 1920s. When Sherwood Anderson, the journalist and author of Winesburg, Ohio, was covering a story there, he christened it the “wettest county in the world.” In the twilight of his career, Anderson finds himself driving along dusty red roads trying to find the Bondurant brothers, piece together the clues linking them to “The Great Franklin County Moonshine Conspiracy,” and break open the silence that shrouds Franklin County.
“In vivid, muscular prose, Matt Bondurant brings these men — their dark deeds, their long silences, their deep desires — to life. His understanding of the passion, violence, and desperation at the center of this world is both heartbreaking and magnificent.”
If you read Matt’s comments here about his grandfather, he speaks of a man who had a gun rack and brass knucklebusters hanging on the wall beneath them. I always thought guns were useful for hunting food on the prairie. To use them on people, should be the last and final resort. However, Matt’s seductive prose has many sucked in to his violence masquerading as noteworthy American culture. The power of words, and a tough bitten sound in this day and age.”
Tough Bitten–good words.

THE HORIWOOD TOP TEN – TUE 12.7.10
Transparency is like refined gold, it has to be earned, tested with trust. So, I like people who endeavor to display a transparent spirit as leaders who serve the best interests of all, hence this quote running on this blog: ”In my time as Prime Minister I have tried to push for greater transparency, and we are happy to have an independent body overseeing expenses and entitlements for MPs [politicians], says New Zealand’s leader from Wellywood/ Wellington,”John Key 3 News. Information is like water flow. It often doesn’t flow to the right people who need to have it. Knowledge equals power. Africa needs water. What do we do this knowledge?
Transparency is good in any sincere culture but discretion is a part of wisdom too: ‘Do not let the left hand know what the right hand is doing… Be as wise as a serpent and as harmless as a dove… A wise man conceals a matter.’
Often people who expect others to be transparent are not themselves–so good men and naturally transparent people–are forced to be wise and manage their own information about themselves, like a cultural taonga of New Zealand belonging to the collective people of Aotearoa New Zealand. Each nation is a knowledge farm of fruitful minds.
Here in America, today - Shiloh Jolie-Pitt has already worked out what her parents do and wants to follow in their footsteps already as a performer turning out a show. “Shi’Bouncy” couldn’t be happier with her baseball bat and military attire as mother Angelina Jolie, sister Zahara and Maddox go to Lee’s Art Store themselves in Manhattan, New York to shop before they imagine and create as artists. Too cute. This family is on the attack today from haters not in Jolie’s league, or, all of her children either. Love it. Maddox Jolie-Pitt has been a star longer than many people claiming to be celebs today. He was born this way. A star.
Jolie’s statement today could be–Our best art, is serving our children, to be informed by their worldview, creating their art. In any culture, isn’t that always the truth.

ELIZABETH EDWARDS WAS THE 49th HOTTEST TRENDING STAR IN HOLLYWOOD 2010
“The teacher then moved on and launched into a complicated dissection of an obscure legal code. “I was lost,” Edwards said. The class was silent, when Elizabeth raised her hand. Edwards couldn’t believe she’d been following along: the woman must be a prodigy. “That was about as clear as mud,” she admonished the professor. “Go over it again in plain English.”
“Right then I knew I wanted to marry her,” said Edwards. Newton-Small concludes, I left that night, more impressed with the absent Elizabeth than her husband… Tonight we lost a smart, brave, sassy, woman.”
Writes Time magazine‘s David Von Drehle, “You may not remember, given all that has happened since, but when Elizabeth Edwards arrived on the Washington scene some 10 years ago, she was golden. The capital tends to confuse fame with merit, and so it sucks up to Senators and Cabinet Secretaries and talk-show hosts while politely ignoring their spouses. She was different. You heard that all the time. John Edwards? Yeah — but you’ve got to meet his wife!”
MIRRORED INITIALED OPPOSITE NAMES – 12.6.10
A wise lady once told me–”everything has it’s own opposite.”
Isn’t it strange that at this moment in history when it comes to the initials of peoples names that:
Julian Assange‘s name is the reverse flip out of Angelina Jolie‘s name. And…
Chelsea Handler‘s name is the reverse flip out of Hillary Clinton‘s initials.
It’s about time Angelina and Hillary went for lunch and discussed what’s up–the Yarra river is a nice spot, I believe.
[Jennifer Aniston must be p*ssed Julian Assange has taken her 'flip out' name spot. Google search engine is now churning those consonants, with search engine spiders registering, Jennifer who? Incidentally Daniel Assange's name (son of Julian) also replaces David Arquettes.]
Family stories always win. A wise use of energy and focus invested. After all, nations and the wider world are a family.
