PROJECT RUNWAY IS BACK WITH A HUGE SURGE IN RATINGS

ProjectRunwayIsBack

Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn got off to a great start with Season 6 of Project Runway. The  embattled TV show made a triumphant return, after its many IP legal battles about the show. Endurance  paid off. Heidi, Tim and a new line up of Project Runway fashion designers and talent, garnered a 33% lift in ratings for the reality  TV Series.

I love the fact that the guy who was untrained at fashion school won the first challenge of red carpet couture. I also love the fact that he was from Minnesota!

Go Minnesota in LA! Hey Mo, hey Danny, hey Buzzworks. Love you all!

Lindsay Lohan who was a guest judge, showed how  biz smart and savvy this young lady can be when it comes to fashion. She’s not just a famous face. That girl worked it out about the practicality of good fashion design combined with saleable fashion that could actually work with retailers in stores. Just goes to show, you can never judge a book by its cover. Lohan’s biz brains impressed!


THE HORIWOOD TOP 10 – SUN 23.09

RyanAlexanderJenkinsJasmineFioresAmerica  was shocked  over the weekend when Reality TV Love went wrong. Reality TV star Ryan Alexander Jenkins murdered his TV co-star and real life girlfriend, Jasmine Flores and stuffed her body in a suitcase, that was discovered in a Southern Californian dumpster. He later took his own life after he crossed  the border into Canada. Shocking, sad, unecessary! RIP. Our thoughts go out to all of their family and friends and this time. Poor Jasmine Flores.

THE HORIWOOD TOP 10 – TUES 8.18.09

8BellaSwanPoster

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.

QoriankaKilcher

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.

HAILEY GLASSMAN RESENTS BEING THE SACRIFICIAL LAMB

HaileyGlassmanJonGosselinsLamb

22 year old,  Hailey Glassman had a LOT to say in her recent interview with E! Entertainment.

Jon Gosselin’s young girlfriend is not happy about her media representation in the Gosselin Freak Show Divorce Circus known as TLC’s The Jon & Kate Plus 8 show.

Here’s what she had to say:

“I’m just “a normal 22-year-old girl. One who is really, truly in love with her family friend turned boyfriend.”

“I never planned on being famous.”

“Before all this, I was happy-go-lucky. I was never a follower or a gossiper. I did my own thing.”

“To be honest, this whole thing, I have lost my happiness through this all. I don’t want to say that the public and media stripped me of all my self-esteem. But they have. I’ve been the sacrificial lamb in this situation.”

Of  the TLC network Hailey Glassman says:

“It’s more like The Lying Channel and not The Learning Channel.

“TLC didn’t allow [Jon and Kate Gosselin] to come out and say their marriage was done a year ago. No network owns what I can and cannot say.”

She has a good point. Word! She’s TLC’s Sarah Palin of John McCain’s ambitious and failed presidential bid, basically!

HEIDI MONTAG’S HUSTLE IS “DIRTY RICH” ON PLAYBOY

HeidiMontaguesPlayBoyPicCover

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.

HeidiMontagsPlayBoyPic

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.

HeidiMontagsPlayboyPic2

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.

I wonder whose first single will sell the most copies. It’s on!


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!

RYAN GOSLING MAKES BEING A ROAD HOG…

RyanGosselingRoadHog1

… look so easy. Of course, while riding his bike, Ryan was photographed with a bud wearing a tartan country flannelette shirt, to keep up with the Tartan fabric trend of the young kids of Hollywood, like Gossip Girl stars and Twilight stars alike. (Taylor Momsen, Robert Pattinson, Kellan Lutz and Kristen Stewart all heart the tartan trend, right now).

RyanGosselingRoadHog2

You have got to have some flannelette, tartan fabric, in all of your PR shots people, to be considered too cool for school. If you are not going to wear it yourself, make sure your entourage is dressed in it. Like Ryan has here. The good news is, that it’s really cheap to buy and it’s appeal is that it brings a little country into city life.

Wannabe biker bachellor, Jon Gosselin, needs to take notes from Ryan Gosling on how to rock the true road hog action. You know it.

FARRAH FAWCETT COVERS PEOPLE MAGAZINE

Farrah sadly left us early after her battle with anal cancer. However, her memory looms bright in the minds of her family and freinds.

Her BFF, Alana Stewart, shares about the Farrah that none of us knew.

Alana’s story is good enough to take the cover of People Magazine this week. We all breathe a sigh of relief that a Gosselin or Gosselin cling on didn’t make People’s cover. Thank goodness. I have Gosselin fatigue!

Congrats Alana for keeping the memory of a friend alive and at the forefront in America this week.

That’s a good effort!

It’s a fact that when someone feels continually ‘blamed’  they perhaps have been type cast in that role, by the perceptions of those around them. 

Jon Gosselin feels blamed.  He’s talking out about that. Blame cripples someone’s potential to be free. Blame is judgement and is the opposite of what love and grace is. 

Personally, I think Jon Gosselin should blame the photo-shoppers who continually put out pictures of him, that don’t even look like him in real life. Jon is three times as fat as this cover image! No wonder when People see Jon for real in person, he’s getting blamed. First up, Jon should tell magazines, no more photo-shopping my mug! That would help things along for him.

His interview about Kate, the kids and his new girl, follows:

Why did she want to break up?
I think she initiated the split because she wanted a career. Maybe I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do, and she was going to move on regardless. I said, “Are you sure about this?” (more…)


DINA LOHAN & MICHAEL LOHAN CAN ACTUALLY BE CIVIL TOGETHER

DeenaLohanMichaelLohanReUnite

The Hamptons held their breath, Saturday, when Lindsay Lohan’s two parents, buried their hatchets and reunited for a day, Saturday.

Now that Michael Lohan is rolling out with his new BFF, Jon Gosselin, Dina thinks he’s okay again to hang out with. Fame is an attractant, like no other to the Lohans.

At the news, daughter Lindsay rolled her eyes and groaned and then was forced to upstaged her attention-seeking (teenaged) parents by hanging out with Britney Spears. After all, it is Lindsay that is the star in this family, no matter how hard her parents try to ride her famous coattails.

Nice to see Lindsay’s folks being civil and mature for once in their adult lives though! Wenn.com

JESSICA SIMPSON RETURNS TO KEN PAVES FOR COMFORT

JessicaSimpsonKenPaves

Jessica Simpson has stipulated that when her VH1 reality TV series, Price of Pretty, begins filming next week, that she wants her own team of stylists to be working on the production.

This is normal for any star going into a shoot. But Jess is asking for $25,000 a day for her stylist. Wow! Jess looks good jogging, so what’s her beef with looking so good? At least she looks after her people, and makes sure they get well looked after!

It’s also good PR for her show. Pretty can cost a lot of money. Nice press already… on the title of her show.

It appears that after being dumped by Tony Romo, Jess needs her buddy, stylist Ken Paves around to make her feel better.

Sounds fair enough to me!
