[Reggie Bush and Kim Kardashian made a lot of dough together once upon a time this year]
‘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 KardashiansRyan 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…)
Today on Horiwood.Com, we are celebrating the efforts of Lauren Conrad, a reality TV actor, turned best selling American author–with tales of Young Hollywood and the Hollywood life. I have never read these books–but Young Hollywood sells, bigtime.
Two book covers from Lauren Conrad depict what fascinates America in literary form, based on fictitious accounts of the Hollywood hood and the obsessions that fuel a fame and celebrity obsessed city. She sells these books on Amazon under the intimacy, dating, fiction categories of Amazon. She’s one smart candy girl.
Here’s the hottest ten news items and celebrity topics of interest as voted by you in Hollywood –Saturday 22nd May 2010.
Quote of the day: ““The first book tour I went on, I had the opportunity to meet thousands and thousands of fans. The majority of the questions were about fashion. It was fun to share all the things I had learned.”
Lauren Conrad‘s two best selling books, LA Candyand Sweet Little Liesare fictitious accounts of Young Hollywood actors lives, cast in reality TV Shows. When conrad appeared on the show, The Hills –she was thrown a lot of clothes by fashion designers to get them noticed, this led her to an awareness of the fashion industry–hence this Style Guide.
Although, there is a joke here in Los Angeles amongst Israeli circles of how the American Dream is pitched in Israel (“if you want to make a fortune in America, just sell anything–by putting a heart on it”), here’s Lauren‘s upcoming novel Sugar and Spice: An LA Candy Novel hits shelves in October, it can pre-ordered from Amazon here for $12.14.
Her book cover image says nothing about fashion, or American style. In fact, it says more about imitating Angelina Jolie‘s eyeliner outline (via Lady Gaga‘s mug who copied it too) rather than anything stylish. Another blogger even referred to the cover with a headline, ”Lauren Conrad’s Bug Eyed Style Book. That made me lmao. To see what real American fashion designers and architects of style could look like… go here. You can’t beat a real classic fashion designer–who creates for real from their spirit, and not lives in pastiche–shopping other’s fashion creativity. As I admire her book sales ability, good luck Lauren in being America’s Young Hollywood Stephenie Meyer.

Although Angelina Jolie is nothaving an affair with Lady Gaga (ridiculous! :) as journalists try and stir the A-List pot heading into the weeked… It is ‘National Lady Gaga Day’ though ya’ll… and Lady Gaga fans worldwide are celebrating.
As followers of this blog know, Horiwood is based in West Hollywood. It’s a great little community like a village where you can walk everywhere to grocery shop, go out and enjoy the best of LA’s inner city life if you want to.
Lauren Conrad did just that with her beau, Kyle Howard at Crown Bar in West Hollywood Saturday. She’s a West Hollywoood girl at heart.
Lauren is someone I like. She parlayed herself from the superficial nature of reality TV stardom based on Young Hollywood night life, to transform into a #1 best selling New York Times author. This was actually Nicole Richie‘s idea, but Nicole got caught up in babies and wifedom, so Lauren did it for America instead.
Love her! Smart girl. For more pics of Lauren and her beau’s night out in the hood, go here.

New York Times bestselling author, Lauren Conrad, wants to write a guide to fashion.
Says Conrad: “I think fashion should be fun and reflective of who you are. When you wear clothes you feel good in, it shows in everything you do,” she adds. “I know this guide will offer simple, practical tips to help anyone look fabulous.”
Hot off the back of her #1 book, LA Candy, Conrad’s sequel Sweet Little Lies hits book stores February. Then the fashion guide is next. She’s a winner!

Kristen Stewart and Q’orianker Kilcher have Summit Entertainment’s Twilight Eclipse casting in common. Kristen’s casting as Bella Swan for the third film of Stephenie Meyers novels, proves Kristen Stewart is hot enough to make both Robert Pattinson’s Edward Cullen and Taylor Lautner’s Jacob Black both have chemistry, both onscreen and also in real life, with a cinematic association to the LA actress.
However, when put to public vote, it is Q’orianker Kilcher who is rating today at #1, on the issue of the Twilight Saga’s casting choices. Kilcher, the actress who starred at 14 years of age as Pocahontas in The New World, is the rising star of Horiwood.Com the past two month. She’s got blog heat and an exciting future in film ahead of her. Q’orianker is 19 years old and has a bright future in mainstream movies.
Horiwood also congratulates Julia Jones III, 30, for landing the role of Leah Clearwater, 19, for Twilight Saga Eclipse. Beating out beautiful, highly accomplished, younger and even more intelligent actresses, is no easy feat. Congratulations too Ms Jones. Perhaps Julia Jones could be a Meryl Streep kind of actress. Meryl is still going strong in her 60s. That could be Julia Jones’ story too if she has staying power in Hollywood.

Heidi Montag’s playboy pics are the third most sought after topic of interest on internet search engines in America today.
Who ever thought that Heidi Montag in a bikini could cause the specialized field of Search Engine Optimization to skyrocket like this today, with Heidi Montag’s name (brand and branding) on the world wide web? Not me.
I was reading Star Magazine today and in its pages, Star jokes about what the name of Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt’s first child should be. The Magazine listed names like Dollar and Hustle as an appropriate name for the shameless couples’ firstborn.
That’s a bit harsh. But I did like Hustle for their baby’s name. It’s so LA and definitely so what Heidi and Spencer are about, using their reality TV show, The Hills, to actually sell themselves in any way, shape of form (like Heidi’s breast implants in a bikini on the cover, for example), to make their first $10 million.
The fact that Heidi is the #3 most searched for topic out of any hobby, interest, person, news item, government policy, health care reform issue, stem cell research development topic, or the future of graphene powered energy; or any major event in America today — just shows that her hustle is working. She’s blitzed America today with her Playboy campaign. Republicans should be proud of her. Heidi Montag for most famous GOP member today.
Oh, btw: for those of you outside of America, the GOP are the conservative lot. Can you see this in Heidi’s Playboy pics today? Yes, of course you can.. (not!) They are also the gay bashers and the uber-racists of America, but that whole hater ‘tude can tend to go hand in hand with Playboy covers and pics, like these.
It’s the flip side of over obsessive conservatives. Balance and grace is desperately needed.
Looking at the positive aspect though (If there is one!), I like the way Heidi “tastefully” only appears in her bikini. She’s not topless or completely naked. The mud smeared all over her makes reference to the time she got sick to the point of vomiting and she was crying her eyeballs out in shock and distress, stranded in the dirty jungles of Costa Rica when she was appearing in the I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here reality TV series.
I still can’t believe that all internet users of America’s 330 million people base, are mainly looking for Heidi today. She needs to do ’a Lauren Conrad’ about now, while she has such a huge audience interested in her at this second and write a book next. Lauren’s book, LA Candy is a New York Time’s Best Seller.
Writing a book is so much smarter than doing a Playboy cover. But the truth is, sadly, Heidi is probably making more money than Lauren’s book sales of LA Candy, with Heidi’s Playboy cover appearance fee. More spreads like this will follow. As Lady Gaga sings “Dirty Rich” is the name of Young Hollywood in the Fame Game. It may not be right, but that’s what these girls know is what’s really going on. They’re cashing in, while they’re young.
It makes me annoyed, that smart girls like Lauren Conrad, who do the right thing, don’t always get rewarded. They should. Dirty girls get rewarded. This is America. It’s human nature, blown out of proportion to extremes.
You just know that Heidi and Spencer are going to be photographed sitting in Church next month, with Heidi buttoned up to her neck in some colonial styled outfit for a month of Sundays.
But for this month, the newlywed Pratts are happy to be looking dirty. It’s paying. Spencer Pratt is such a pimp. He is not a husband. If Heidi is smart she will put her Playboy check in a trust fund, for Dollar Pratt and Hustle Pratt’s therapy. (I say Dollar AND Hustle together because, you just know these two fame whores are going to have twins by IVF as their first birth experience as parents).
Twins will get them more exposure, and Heidi will probably have them by surrogate mother too, as she doesn’t want to ruin her bikini body, while she shoots more bikini covers.
If Heidi does put her Playboy check in a trust fund for her kids, she will ensure that Spencer can’t touch the money that Heidi, mainly, makes. You know it. That’s what’s really going on in this marriage as these pics clearly show.

Hollywood is so surreal. You don’t have enough gas in your tank to get home from your 100% commission job in a recession after putting in an 8 hour day and 40 hours for the week. You’re in shock as your eftpost card declines at the gas pump. Every single AP loaded to your bank account must have gone out. But at least you have cable, that American staple of entertainment, at home. You just don’t know how you’re going to get home to watch any of it, unless you push your car along Hollywood Blvd.
Then you go inside to the cashier and your old lottery ticket at the bottom of your wallet, you fish out. It’s crumpled but you straighten it out and hand it over to the Pakistani cashier with fingers crossed and eyes closed. The sound the cashier’s til makes as it opens let’s you know that it is a minor winner at the gas station in that moment. Believe it or not, this is how many young people in Hollywood are living each day, right now. Oh, and people in their 50s and 60s too. George Bush’s governance and Dick Chaney’s ill advice, has totally cost these people their American dream.
Not to worry! Such is the story of Hollywood. But like the lottery ticket today, the city always holds luck, even when you least expect it. You just need to believe that things will be okay, and they do get better. But what a surreal experience!

You’ve got to give it to Lauren Conrad. She’s one reality star, who knows how to switch it on up into new things.
Not only was her book, LA Candy, loosely based on her life, a #1 New York Times Best Seller, but Conrad is in talks to turn her book into a film. Nice.
“We’re hoping for a movie deal,” says Conrad to The New York Daily News. “I’m working on [adapting the book for the movies] right now, but I don’t want to commit to anything until I see all my options. We have had a lot of exciting news in that respect, though.”
It’s nice to see a young star, who doesn’t want fame’s spotlight, just for being famous. She’s creating entertainment product and is becoming (as a writer,) an architect of Hollywood.
Lauren Conrad is one smart sweetheart! Smart LA Candy, for sure! Would you see LA Candy at the movies, if Lauren’s hit book gets greenlit for the big screen?
… my hood, would a Milkshake be named after Lindsay Lohan and the starlet appear in person to whip it up!
Gotta love that Lohan, at 5,000 calories per shake, that’s her monthly intake of total calories in one cup!
Um, at least it wasn’t as many calories as the deep fried twinkie bars or deep fried cheesecake on a stick, offered at the Super Fair in Orange County, before last night’s outstanding Kelly Clarkson concert last night.
No wonder why that Lauren Conrad, ran from the O.C to the Hills of Hollywood so willingly. That fair food in the O.C is just all wrong! :)

KIM KARDASHIAN IS MORE INFLUENTIAL THAN SARAH PALIN – NO.1 REALITY TV STAR EARNER 2010
