MJ, Michael Jackson, The Jacksons, Paris Jackson… oh and Emma Watson’s wardrobe malfunction promoting the new Harry Potter flick… are the hot topics today on Horiwood.Com here in Hollywood.
TAMPA, Fla. – Billy Mays, the burly, bearded television pitchman whose boisterous hawking of products such as Orange Glo and OxiClean made him a pop-culture icon, has died. He was 50.
Tampa police said Mays’ wife found him unresponsive Sunday morning. A fire rescue crew pronounced him dead at 7:45 a.m. It was not immediately clear how he died. He said he was hit on the head when an airplane he was on made a rough landing Saturday, and his wife, Deborah Mays, told investigators he didn’t feel well before he went to bed about 10 p.m. that night.
To read more, go here. What’s up with Michael Jackson and Billy Mays both tragically dying at 50 this week. So sad. My favorite Billy May’s product pitch was when he pitched Shakespeare with Jay Leno. See that clip here.
Our thoughts go to Billy Mays’ family in their unexpected loss. May he RIP.
Desperate Housewives star, Eva Longoria Parker, is snap happy with her camera at the French Open. Vacationing with hubby Tony Parker, Eva loved the on court action of Fernando Gonzalez and Robin Soderling’s semifinal match. France is looking good.

This vintage pic of TV and Media personality, Ryan Seacrest, doesn’t necessarily make Ryan stand out from the pack at first glance, when Seacrest was once a college freshman.
However, although Seacrest is still snubbed by the #1 celebrity at the top of the class, Ms. Angelina Jolie. Angie has walked past Seacrest on the red carpet at the Oscars for two years running now; the world’s most famous humanitarian actress can perhaps be forgiven for not knowing who he actually is! With six children, and being a working mom, Angelina doesn’t watch TV much.
This one entertainment fact, still does not detract from Seacrest’s rising star power this year.
He’s on The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien tonight, and he’s well worthy of his media platform. It should be a great interview, make sure you watch it. Here’s Ryan’s tweet while waiting for the show’s taping: “in dressing room at conan show. the toilet water is blue.” Riveting stuff Ryan! Anyway,
Zac Efron’s disheveled and yet ‘perfectly arranged at all times’ long locks, will make a cameo appearance in Entourage for HBO. Efron shot his scenes in LA on Tuesday morning for the TV show that parodies the inside workings of show biz. Hollywood celebrities and entertainment news is always hot on Horiwood.Com.
Here’s 10 Hot Posts Right Now in the City of Angels.
NBC wasted no time in announcing that their Ace card of Late Night Talk, Jay Leno would be back on the nightly small screen.
They gave Jay’s Tonight Show replacement, Conan O’Brien all of 10 hours to settle in on air, in Jay’s old time slot to announce that Leno would be back on air, on The Earlier Show on September 14.
Thank goodness, O’Brien totally killed it in the ratings last night. And it’s perhaps already indicating that the King of Talk Show Kings is NBC Network. Nice work NBC! Now I wonder what Mr Witty, David Letterman will come up with next to swing the spotlight back to him. It’s war!
The man who was a complete control freak on the New York set of his old show, is having trouble adjusting to the new LA cultural life, that is so much different to NYC.
I didn’t like the Conan goes to Universal City Tourist ride O’Brian featured last night. It was dumb! Conan who has always reminded me of what a Disney theme park actor, playing Peter Pan, would one day grow up to do… should STAY OUT OF STUDIO THEME PARKS! I say that in love for O’Brien’s better future in LA, of course!
But it didn’t affect Conan’s ratings at all, and that was good to see. O’Brien’s audience is 173 percent—bigger than the audience for his Late Show finale, NBC said today. NBC is the big winner here. O’Brien whopped American favorite David Letterman in the ratings. Ouch! (more…)
“A lot has changed since when I started the Tonight Show I had black hair and we had a white president. Now we have a black president and I have white hair.”
Nice, Jay Leno’s last show taping for the Tonight Show after 17 years was today, here in LA. Congrats Jay Leno! [source]
In his Interview with Jay Leno, that will air Monday night, Mel Gibson has confirmed that he is expecting his eighth child to singer Oksana Grigorieva.
“Just call me Octo-Mel” joked the actor/ producer with Jay Leno.
Mel also said that his wife Robin and him remain good friends, and that Robin is an admirable woman and it was he that ruined their marriage. Nice to see a man admit to his mistakes.
Congrats Mel on finding new love and being a dad for the 8th time! [source]
Jamie Foxx appeared on Jay Leno’s show to get himself out of the dog box, for his outlandish comments he said about Miley Cyrus. I’m sure super band Radio Head approved of Foxx’s daddy paddling of the young Cyrus superstar, but the way in which it was done was henous!
Realizing this, Foxx on Jaye Leno’s tonight show said this last night: “I so apologise to her, and I’m sincere. You guys know that I’m a comedian… And whatever I say, you know I don’t mean any of it. I have a radio show on Sirius, and I’m really the black Howard Stern and go at everybody. I apologise to Miley Cyrus. I’ve got a daughter too, but I’m a comedian and I apologize.
Too funny! Billy Mays, the informercial guy shouts it out for Billy Shakespeare on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. But does he really?!!! Gotta love that oxy clean man’s humor!
