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.

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.

KIM KARDASHIAN IS NOT PREGNANT WITH KANYE WEST’S BABY
Sometimes, the most ridiculous rumors start between Los Angeles and NYC. The latest was Kim Kardashian is pregnant to Kanye West. ”The rumors are absolutely not true,” Kardashian told People magazine. “I’m not pregnant.”
The story was started by gossip site MediaTakeOut, which reported a “world exclusive” that Kardashian was having the rapper’s baby.
Another example of how stars get cashed in, all the time–for Media take out’s benefit, and also Kanye’s fan base too. Kim was analyzed as being bing.com’s no.1 trending celebrity of 2010.
Basically–that means that she is now a touchstone star celebrity-template. To enter the fame game in 2011–at least one thing that makes Kim Kardashian a star, must be in your star mix to cut it and break through. She’s the standard. One of them anyway. Kanye’s already started this trend, early.
Mine is: “In 2011, I will have at least one Middle Eastern friend more visible and represented as a friend on this blog.” The rumor is funny though.

BARBARA WALTERS TEN MOST FASCINATING PEOPLE OF 2010
Kate Middleton and Mike The Situation Sorrentino make the cut of Barbara Walters ten most fascinating people of 2010. Here’s whose on Barb’s list, in her 18th and (she says) final year of delivering the hit show via ABC Network loved and watched by millions worldwide:
Justin Bieber
Kate
The Cast of Jersey Shore
Jennifer Lopez (American Idol TV Show judge)
Sarah Palin
Sandra Bullock
NBA star LeBron James
Betty White
Many websites have speculated who the last two guests could be today here in the US. Flavor Pill lists their own top ten, that I can’t relate to at all, except their first choice. The Week.Com speculates on who Barb’s two mystery guests should be. Of their choices, they select: Lady Gaga -quoting Jen Chaney at The Washington Post (why? she was last years news), An Obama citing Margaret Lyons pick at Entertainment Weekly (couldn’t hurt), Lindsay Lohan -quoting Bridget Daly atHollyscoop (stranger things have happened), Lt. Dan Choi relaying Maureen O’Connor at Gawker‘s pick this year (not a bad choice either).
Perhaps Tiger Woods, Kim Kardashian (single, childless and still on top at 30), Liu Xiaobo‘s wife, or Warren Buffet, The Gates & The Team at Giving Pledge.
If looking at my own blog–Jessica Simpson & Eric Johnson rate high this year. Or, why not Oprah and Larry King both wrapping shows this year like Barbara is–or for a laugh why not Oprah interviewing Barbara Walters as no. 10. That would be groovy. Eminem or other music artists–there’s not one announced yet. Or a soldier who recovered from war’s atrocities? Or a scientist perhaps. The actors of Harry Potter continue to fascinate too. They also could be a worthy choice.
Who can believe little Snooki has made Barbara Walter’s Ten Most Fascinating People show in just over a year of being in show biz? Go Snooki go!
Who do you think the final two could be?

TRENDS ANALYSIS AND BING.COM’S TOP TEN TRENDING TOPICS 2010 – THE YEAR OF KIM KARDASHIAN
Kim Kardashian is loved by Microsoft as she really thinks like a Buffet or a Gates when it comes to making money and being an entrepreneur with IT. She is Bing.Com’s no. 1 trending topic because she chose to make FAMILY, the eclectic American star her own star served. For that decision, I personally admire this girl. She created a kingdom for her family and shares the leadership role with her fellow family stars. So smart.
As Kardashian revealed recently for W Magazine‘s special issue on the rise of Reality TV stars, Kim will strip naked to protect her kingdom. A touch of irony perhaps as in real life, Kardashian is a fashion clothing merchant. A paradox.
As a star brand she is on track to be America’s most trusted contender of a TV Talk Show Queen in the mode of Oprah Winfrey of the 2020′s as years to come of detoxification from America’s role cast as warlords of Western democracy and our Peace Keepers of The World will most probably require Kim to play this role in the “reflecting years.”
She is also on track to be a billionaire in her own right, through her collaboration with L.A power lawyer Robert Shapiro and their shoedazzle online marketing style supply company co-venture. If ever their company goes public Kardashian will be a billionaire overnight. Watch that space. She is California and America today–behind the transparent veil appearance of an ‘over-exposed?’ reality TV star.
She’s smarter than she is beautiful –a lethal witty combo. As a young American–her star template is one that can be emulated to grow the American economy. This girl does every day. Her heart is almost always in the right place for others–yet she’s single, a beauty queen too bright to make most men relax in her company. This only makes her more endearing to her audiences, somehow.
Bing.Com’s top ten TRENDing topics can be read as follows:
1. America’s A-Listed, accepted Middle Eastern (Armenian-American) face in war time–while soldiers are all paid to kill ‘the Arab men who are dangerous extreme terrorists.’ She is the unveiled face and the ‘Arabian looking’ healing tonic to a nation’s conscience, all unfortunately paying for an intense war engagement in Afghanistan, post Iraq. To obsess on Kim Kardashian is to take your mind off the Afghanistan war. She is the life-threatened soldiers no.1 pin up girl, of our times.
2. A woman wins an Oscar for a film about combatting racism in sport and community to believe in family and a kid’s dream, then in real life her husband mimics a Tiger Woods (poor man’s) harem show roll out (the tattooed version) and the shocking scandal ends in divorce while the newly single-mother adopts a New Orleans orphan as she’d always planned to.
3. America’s most respected golfer and most loved American by Asian nations outside of the US, in the year of China’s white metal tiger–unleashes a pussy wagon harem scandal, while being married to a gorgeous Swede twin, mother of his two children–who once was a Nanny, like Princess Diana was. Unwittingly the golfer becomes the perfect hate target diversion of the ‘disgusted and amused’ American people, while a new President successfully champions a dramatically increased war budget (80% increase on previous budget) through The House and The Senate in DC. His year of scandal was quite a story!

ALICIA KEYS SAYS NO KEYBOARDS FOR DEC 1st AIDS AWARENESS DAY
Here’s a clever marketing campaign. Alicia Keys wants everyone to be social media networks free on December 1st and not go near a keyboard, in the hope to bring awareness to AIDS. Kim Kardashian (pictured) has signed up to join Keys by posing for the ‘digital death’ moment in American history. It is believed to be a first.
Following Kim is Justin Timberlake and Lady Gaga who will do the same thing. Social media means no Twitter, no Facebook on this day. I guess it also means, no answering blog comments either for 24 hours, for bloggers.
If you think that’s a dumb idea, then go here to Keep A Child Alive and donate early. The main point is to donate with the digital technology we have in our hands to do good. There are 14.2 million children in Africa with AIDS. What a good idea.

KIM KARDASHIAN ENTERS THE CREDIT CARD GAME
True fact: Kim Kardashian is a lot smarter than many A-Listed film actors. A studio doesn’t control her. She’s no one’s puppet and is in charge of her own brand. As we know, she’s a reality TV star. She’s just released her own credit card –namely for her kid fans. She’s on fire. Already she’s under fire though, by the haters who aren’t moguls like Kim is.
Here’s that sentiment today: Celent analyst Zilvinas Bareisis tells American Banker: “I am baffled — this card doesn’t seem to make sense at all, it appears to be targeted at teenagers, yet with ridiculous fees. If there is such a thing as a luxury prepaid market, then it’s not going to be the teens.”
Kardashian’s credit card pricing plan is listed as follows by Biz Insider:

KIM KARDASHIAN ON BEING SUCCESSFUL AND SINGLE
“Is it weird that I’m now the single one? It’s definitely a change for me. I have always been the one in a relationship. I like that role, I want that best friend partnership.”–says Kim Kardashian to People Magazine about being single at 30.
Kardashian is one of the most hard working residents of LA. She’s a fashion distribution and style mogul of America in the America, who appears on a reality TV show, to maintain a profile that’s family based.
Kardashian must be the only American girl, who opted to end her relationship with a Super Bowl football champion this year.Kim is not the norm, in any which way.
She’s quite a lady! Check out her biz venture shoedazzle with power lawyer Robert Shapiro if you haven’t already.

MEET KALANI JONES, A SAMOAN-KIWI STAR OF AUCKLAND THE SUPERCITY
Kalani Jones (L) of Auckland – The Supercity poses with Lani.
The Samoan-Kiwi hottie looks like her late grandmother, Aunty Maina Werne-Jones - a lady who died in Kenya while on safari, and who had the distinction of having the second most-attended funeral in New Zealand history in 1997 of a Kiwi not born in the green paradise nation. As a woman of Samoa with Mana in The South Pacific, Maina Werne-Jones was down to earth, heavenly-minded, loving and much loved.
Aunty Maina as she was affectionately known, is still sorely missed by Auckland City, Samoa and throughout The Pacific today. Her laugh was magic. She laughed a lot, always sharing her smile and joie de vie with a rare gift of joyful encouragement.
Kalani also looks like her gorgeous momma, Judi Jones. Kalani’s dad, Derek Jones can be found here with Judi, doing their bit providing Samoan-Kiwi flava and inspiration at a transitional time for Porirua City leadership in Wellywood – Hollywood’s sister-city for 3D film making expertise.
Porirua is currently in the middle of a surprise bi-election, as the US Secretary of State Hilary Rodham Clinton has just recently touched down in Wellywood, a film making nation’s capitol city, at the time of writing from Hollywood. There’s a lot going on in New Zealand right now. It’s a hot diverse entertainment nation, destination.
At the top, of the North Island of New Zealand, Kalani lives in Auckland, The Supercity of this beautiful paradise-green nation.
To see Auckland – the City of Kalani Jones and the largest Polynesian and Maori Gateway city in the World (Aloha O’ahu Hawaii of America), GO HERE.

THE HORIWOOD TOP TEN – 11.1.10
Kim Kardashian hits up the Miami Heat Vs NY Jets basketball game yesterday wearing a WTF half shrug. I kid. She’s very chic, raising the level of basketball watching, to new heights.
Sports entertainment fused with a piece of couture. Brought to you by a young lady, whose styling her generation of Americans with stylists consultants and personalized affordable merchandising, all online. She’s the style queen of America now. She’s too much! However, I was imagining the same half shrug in New Zealand possum fur, with black Christchurch swan feathers. Feral chic. They’d be a hit on runways in Australia and in clubs all over The vast Ochre Great Southland. Actually, red rooster tail feathers (free range) would work too, in this age of new KeyWe–Hot Ginge, Asia-Pacific politics.

YOUNG HOLLYWOOD MUSIC PICK – CHRISTINA ARGUILERA’S LOST ME
Who doesn’t like Christina Arguilera‘s song Lost Me from the album Bionic? It deals with “neglect issues” that many young people feel after the global economic recession. To sing a gritty song that hits people emotionally at their core is what latina diva Christina Arguilera excels at.
All the kids of Young Hollywood love this song, when not popping their hot moves on the club scene, in Young Hollywood’s trend setting hip clubs. This is the ballad they listen to on their iPods currently here in LA.
This song choice: a request of Herman Town supporters, Hollywood’s no.1 Club promoter, and associate promoter for Kim Kardashian fashion merch that teams girls of America up with their very own team of celebrity stylists to get the look you want. Rad aye?! Young Hollywood is nuts at trend setting you can afford, thanks to a reality TV star, national treasures, marketing vision. These stylists and their people, love Christina’s new song.
Enjoy the music. An honest ballad “in the moment” from a fine vocalist. A collaborative songwriting effort by: Aguilera, Christina Maria; Dixon, Samuel Ronald; Furler, Sia Kate Isobelle;

FACEBOOK MOVIE TABLOID MARKETING by JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE
According to US Weekly, the magazine whose publisher funds Obama campaigns, Justin Timberlake has been cheating on Jessica Biel.
Meaning in tabloid Hollywood terms that- if you haven’t seen Justin yet in the Facebook movie, please do. He’s totally eligible – to draw a chick crowd still, go see his film ladies.
Taylor Swift and Jake Gylenhaal‘s apple picking dates also feature, along with Kim Kardashian romance rumors and Jessica and Nick old flame rumors cross-over tabloid tales.
Incidentally Kim Kardashian is so smart – She’s teamed up with lawyer Robert Shapiro and does Shoe-dazzle, a company that has every young girl buying shows from Kim online. Check them out. She’s a mogul in the making. Switch on and so on her game.
[This post especially for Dale Karauria of Wellywood - whose a Maori girl whose shoes-dazzled brainy and smart in political circles].

KIM KARDASHIAN IS MORE INFLUENTIAL THAN SARAH PALIN – NO.1 REALITY TV STAR EARNER 2010
‘The pay is crap, the stiletto time is uber high for the lives of America’s top reality TV stars–but the endorsements and back handers to espouse a message and set a trend of pop culture for another celebrity, aren’t bad’–the Kardashian sister’s story this year as California’s reigning version of Charlie’s Angels TV entertainment.
Well, this is no surprise, Kim Kardashian is listed as the highest earning reality TV star of America this year. No one blurs reality and surreality quite like California. It’s what we do. The best.
Having a family focus and creating employment, Kim’s strategy as a star to make ‘family the big thing’ she’s about; has garnered Kim’s two sisters as top-earning reality TV stars too in a new year-end list of rankings, The Daily Beast said Monday.
$6 million in reported earnings is what the Daily Beast rank Kim on. She’s a cover girl, a sports and military locker room pin up star. One of the key stars of E!’s Keeping Up With the Kardashians Ryan Seacrest (really Kim) produced show, with a line of merchandising products ranging from timepieces to tennis shoes.
The beast reports Kim’s fortune is in-the-main amassed from the overall takings of the Dash Boutiques, a trendy chain of designer retail stores with locations in Los Angeles, Miami, and now Manhattan. A nice value add from Kim in steering information this way into he sisters collective brand power. (eg: spread your fame asap, and hedge your bets).
The Kardashian sisters, who have some of the best tabloid story line angles each week, just released a new book, Kardashian Konfidential, that has already sold 13,000 copies in its first week of release. Endorsement deals with Sephora and Bebe beauty brands are also their thing. (more…)
