ACTOR ALEX MERAZ – SEVEN TWEETS RIZON – 12.26.10
An Arizona sense of Humor: “Just got three gold teeth for my new role! Peruvian chicks love a guy with gold teeth I have to keep telling them I’m not a rapper or a drug dealer but no one will believe me.”
Twilight Saga‘s Alex Meraz always makes me smile the way Alex tweets. His native American Indian sense of humor is very similar to Maori in New Zealand. Here’s the rest of Alex’ tweets as a working action star actor of Hollywood:
On how fame changes community roles: “Just got invited to do a police ride along…and I’ll actually be in the passenger side and NOT the back this time!”
How to announce getting selected as a sex symbol of America: “Check out my photo for PEOPLE MAGAZINES “Sexiest Man Alive issue” in stores now http://twitpic.com/37q2df“
On the joy of screenwriting is entirely one’s own–most times: “Been giggling to myself all day like a little girl…nearly finished writing a movie script and It’s a shake-weight stroke of genius!”
On prepping for Twilight filming: “Guess what script I’m reading? I’ll give you a hint…It rhymes with “Breaking Dawn pt.1″ Oops!!!”
On being a secret Miley Cyrus fan: Christmas came early!! Check out my new journalhttp://twitpic.com/3cy5x6.
Lol!

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.

TAYLOR LAUTNER’S STAR POWER, HOLLYWOOD 2011
Taylor Lautner: The only teen action movie star to clearly make it through Hollywood’s quick sand celebrity hoops in 2010 by playing a teen werewolf has managed to keep his newest relaysh with Lily Collins out of the public eye, at least compared to his tour-de-paparazzi-force courtship with Taylor Swift.
This kid never made the top ten in Hollywood this year, but still proves he can kick above his weight in Tinsel Town. He’s a symbol that teen lads can do anything if they work hard, get lucky breaks, if authors write popular book series with teens in mind that then get adapted to film; and with the right parenting behind them.
Lautner’s upcoming movie work in Hollywood sees him cast in the film: Abduction (Post Production); The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part I & Breaking Dawn Part II as Jacob Black.

WATER BABIES AS CELEBRITIES OF US ALL
1 bilion people in the world don’t have access to clean drinking water. Yet we are made up of 63% H2O as people. I think true celebrity is about whose moving water flows in the world. It’s as simple as something like that.

MILEY CYRUS CAN WHIP IT
This year and next Miley Cyrus is doing 2nd generation Hollywood or show biz families as her celebrity theme and contribution to the fame game.
When she’s not on set eating cupcakes with Kelly Osbourne, Smilers latest time passing activity, is to create her own fun. She turns to The Smith family of Bel Air for kicks. In particular: “sources on set of her film So Undercover … say Miley has been passing the time between takes constantly singing Whip My Hair by young Willow Smith. Smilers is even busting out the dance moves that go with the song too.
All this while her folks are going through a painful divorce and Smilers works right up until Christmas. What a Hollywood trooper in New Orleans!

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.

IAN SOMERHALDERS MUSIC PLAYLIST
Taylor Blue of Canada alerted me to the fact that Ian Somerhalder has compiled a top music playlist for Blackbook. As we are all proudly a little black on this Hollywood blog, I thought I’d run the whole article as guest commentary today. Thanks Taylor.
Guest Commentary (in the mode of what Ariana Huffington does on her blog all the time, cut and paste other peoples words. That’s all she does. Lol!): “There’s no way, dude. I don’t even have time to breathe with my current schedule. How am I supposed to make up a fucking story about a Deerhunter song that I’ve listened to 10 times since it came out 30 days ago?” That’s Ian Somerhalder, the 32-year-old star of the CW’s hit soap, The Vampire Diaries, which he insists he “eats, works, breathes, sleeps, and shits.” Still, Somerhalder found time to jot down a list of eight songs, which he created to help Damon, the character he plays, seduce—from flirtation to climax—his eternal-but-unrequited love, Katherine (Nina Dobrev). “If I were taming that lioness, then this is exactly what each song would be.” Below, Somerhalder breaks down his choices in the frenzied manner of someone who is about to be called back to set—which he was.

KELLY OSBOURNE TALKS UP MILEY CYRUS HEALTH CONSCIOUS WAYS
Kelly Osbourne is doing way too much for her American co-stars of So Undercover today from New Orleans. The straight up Pommy starlet took to her Twitter (where else, other than Facebook?) to put straight a few rumors about how responsible Miley Cyrus is as a ‘not-really-a-child’ person whose still growing up in some ways. Tweets Kelly about Miley being a good influence on the kids of America:
“This really makes me mad. Miley is one of the most hard working respectful women I have ever worked with I am learning a lot from her!”
“Actually it’s the other way around Miley has us all on a health kick. Gym/early nights. The[y']re really scraping the barrel on that one!”
Gosh. Sounds intense if Kelly whose been to rehab about ten times now in between entertainment gigs, is really tweeting damage control tweets about that salvia bong scandal incident, still.
U.K girls. You’re so full on!

IAN SOMERHALDER FOR THE MESSY GULF OIL SPILL OF 2010
If you live in Hollywood you will know who Ian Somerhalder is. He’s the dude who Kevin Williamson (Scream IV writer and film franchise owner) cast in the vampire diaries as a 17 year-old vampire. The show was a trial run adapted from the books, that became a Young Hollywood staple show overnight. Anyway, Ian turned 32 this month (like… in real life) and he has not forgotten about the oil spill that effected the Coast off Miami, the Mexican gulf and New Orleans too.
For the Ian Somerhalder Foundation, Ian urges:
“Instead of gifts this year, my birthday wish is that we come together and raise funds to support projects that protect our habitat and nurture our furry friends. If people truly feel like giving me a gift for my birthday this year, I hope you will consider giving a donation to the foundation. Giving to the foundation would be the best gift I could ever wish for, it would give us a chance to make change together.”
What a guy! Oil can be tricky. It takes a lot of conscious Californians playing vampires to amuse America to remember that outside of BP CEO’s going yachting at non-opportune times, there’s wildlife to look after. Thank goodness Ian Somerhandler is on it then. Happy Christmas New Orleans and Miami. Anyone who plays the guitar to make sense of the Hollywood crazy, while doing good for the environment across America is alright by me. Hey Ian. :)

It is not yet known whether Sunny will be a featured star of Levi’s reality TV show Loving Levi. The show is about Levi being “half redneck and half Hollywood.” In any event, Sunny sounds hot.

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.

TODAY THE BLONDE ACTOR ASKED ME
Today the blonde actor asked me, “What if you’ve been living in Hollywood for five years now, and you just want to plan it all differently, like let go control and go with the flow because nothing else has really worked as I’d planned it. Do you have any thoughts?”
Said the Maori Kiwi to the twenty-five year old blonde, blue-eyed Wisconsin beauty, “I think living in the moment is the destination of the American journey. Us talking right now is the real USA today. You and me sharing, is living lives beyond entitlement.
“We are living in the future in this moment, realizing no one’s actually really three to help us, our generation has to help each other. We have what we need to do it. Collaboration to create now. When we share, we are not living in the mirage of The Dream. We are the dream. This is it.”
She cried.
JESSICA SZOHR ON PLAYING A MESSED UP BROOKLYN ARTIST
Who: Jessica Szhor
Original claim to fame: Being cast in Gossip Girl
Now doing: Cover girl work, as depicted here for Savvy Magazine: the best of beauty, style and pop culture. Jessica is also landing lead roles in feature films, like Art Machine.
On her part in the film: “I play this artist who kind of had a messed up background and she expresses emotions in her art. It’s really cool. I’m filming all over Brooklyn.”
It’s always groovy to see young people evolve. Go kid!
New York Magazine’s ‘Industry News Round Up’ sheds more light on Art Machine‘s key players, noting: “Machine’s Young Guns: Joseph Cross (Milk, Running With Scissors) and Jessica Szohr(Gossip Girl) are starring in the indie film Art Machine, which Doug Kerr is directing and currently shooting in New York. Cross plays “a child-prodigy painter on the verge of turning 18 who is suffering from bipolar disorder and needs to come up with an art show to end all art shows.” Szohr plays one of the “outlaw hipsters” Cross meets, “a pyrotechnic artist who is attracted to the prodigy, but as his manic madness grows, she becomes concerned for his safety.” Joey Lauren Adams (Big Daddy, Chasing Amy) plays Cross’s mom.
Cute. Sounds like a good young artsy screwball film then. Angst fused with art as ‘conflict being the essence of drama’ in an Aristotlean way, is bound to find its audience.

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…)
