Huffington Post’s top ten spiritual figures (not ice skaters from Russia, leaders!) of 2010′s list? NASA‘s $500 million spend on a space program nada working and muchos nixed (dubbed Bondoogle Galatica for search engine hits)? or baby Louis Bardo Bullock of New Orleans, now in Hollywood too, [...]

Oops–I think I might be an Obama First Family fan in Hollywood, just a little bit. Maybe just a tad? Ridiculous! Whenever I see an Obama on a magazine–what do I do, though on a stringent budget in Hollywood? I freakin buy that magazine asap to Obamafy myself–like it’s going to make me more American [...]

The women of hip hop music talk up the tremendous contribution Lauryn Hill has made as a cultural treasure of America – a grammy winning artist–and a hip hop music icon.

This retro pic, shared on Facebook of Maoris gathered together in North Hollywood, makes me go… “OMG! I can’t believe I’m standing in this photo with Maori Media royalty! Two generations worth.

Country music artists did well this year in album sales, especially Lady Antebellum and Taylor Swift. A good effort. Here’s the list of top selling albums according to United World Chart.

The Middle East and Perez Hilton? Whoever would have thought. Time can mellow even the once most feared Young Hollywood gossip blogger as Mario Lavandeira used to be known as.

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN POSTERS – WEIDEMANN GALLERY – AND A TRIP DOWN TO THE RIVER 11.6.10.

Sometimes I feel like a waterfall in West Hollywood, that just won’t stop. Where the water comes from within the spirit that feels dry, jaded, tired on grey winters days, ironically on days when it pours with rain – I don’t know. One thing I do know, is that 2 million innocent children, die each [...]

America rising anyway, in grass roots communities, across concrete jungles too. Rising in the hearts of people decent enough to do. What we want for ourselves, do for a brother in need, America rising, don’t need permission to feed. Once I was lost and shattered, then my brother reached for me, found me in my [...]

Taylor Lautner is pictured here with Disney’s Demi Lovato. Getting incarcerated always sucks. Yet fun people normally do get incarcerated a lot because they threaten systems. So thankfully, I haven’t been incarcerated much in life. Lol! Taylor Lautner fancies himself as a heroic victim, overcoming incarceration as a Young Hollywood movie theme. Yawn! No, it actually [...]

HALLE BERRY’S STAR, HOLLYWOOD WALK OF FAME 2010.

When I watch this clip, I’m left wondering whether John Howard (ex PM John Howard of Kangaroo Country), is directing this shizzle early for 2012 ICC world cricket purps? Poor Hugh Jackman, he’s getting injured a lot lately. Getting hit in the nuts with a cricket ball, aint fun. ~Posted by Horiwood.Com, Hollywood California USA. [...]
