SAMUEL WHITELOCK IS A RUGBY FOOTBALL GLADIATOR.

When I saw his photo of Emilia Clarke in the Game of Thrones Nordic drama, about to hit HBO network, I thought it was actually Princess Eugenie of York leaving The Box nightclub in Soho, London at 4am, wearing a wig made of unicorn’s tail feathers. But no, it’s actually Emilia Clarke. Of Emilia, her [...]

While Mrs Obama is having fun battling child obesity on this cover of the LA Times, where Catherine Deneuve still wows California as a film star and Yosemite Springs are being well looked forward to, the LA Times runs with a disturbing cover of its own (not via Japan or Libya) for this weekend’s Sunday [...]

MEET ISRAEL DAGG, RUGBY FOOTBALL PLAYER.

One photograph - Kit Harington and John Bradley in Game of Thrones. Photographer – Helen Sloan for HBO. In the fantasy genre of novels, films and TV series – you can say anything. What is true though is up to the audience to obtain themselves from their own strong readings of entertainment texts. Armour, swords, friendship, [...]

A GIRL WEARS AN LA LAKERS BASKETBALL TANK TOP TO A HOBBITS ACTORS EQUITY RALLY IN WELLYWOOD.

The price that people pay to live lives away from those ruling by brutal force, is reflected in this ‘Wall of Martyrs’ blurred photograph of a photograph on California pine news print, of Libya today. Pray for Libya. What a sad pic. Political martyrs in jars, allegedly slaughtered at the hands of Kadafi’s soldiers. Sad. [...]

ART: MAN OF SORROWS by MATTHEW BROOKS.

  One photo by Helen Sloane – Isaac Hempstead-Wright and Kit Harington in Game of Thrones. A photograph by Helen Sloan for HBO. It’s always imperative to teach the young how to hold a bow and arrow right. Archery is US in this show. Best of all, practice makes perfect. ~Posted by Horiwood.Com, Hollywood California [...]

I thought we’d had winter already on a global stage of culture–apparently, NO! Winter’s just beginning. Because the word Hori means “George” in Te Reo Rangatira, The Language of Chiefs of Aotearoa New Zealand, I guess I should run guest commentary on George R.R Martin‘s book series hitting HBO where Oscar Winner Anna Paquin is [...]

HONEYMOONERS – CHECK OUT CATHEDRAL COVE COROMANDEL, PENINSULA. ROMANCE ON THIS BEACH. IT’S THE BEST!

The Cottage Cheese Cottage of Albi (the racist dragon) deserves some airplay today. Here’s the lads of Flight of the Conchords with a jellybeans hobbit folk song hit. It’s very Chelsea Handler humored, yet done with more talent and finesse, of course…. on guitar. Enjoy. 1. Jemaine Clement 2. NASA’s Geoff Chester 3. Costco Romance really should be [...]

Bijan take great pleasure today in running a front page banner ad on the Los Angeles Times. Love it or not, the purpose of the ad is to denote the sexiness of ‘fashion & speed’ namely in the form of the Gulfstream jet aircraft (you should have one of these!) and if you’re in the [...]

Wedding dresses are now available as Costco expands their product market. I blame Will & Kate for this new supermarket trend. JK. Costco are betting big time on April 29th’s big show day. I like the idea that marriage is not about expense though. Imagine though, ‘your special day’ (what marriage has been viewed as being [...]

California is one of those States where the sun shines most days and people are supposed to live forever, like Peter Pan or your favorite Hollywood movie. It’s just Cali culture. Consequently health, beauty, health and fitness are all massive industries in and around entertainment in Los Angeles. In an almost narcissistic fashion, Californians promote [...]

I notice today that stem cell researchers like this blog. I don’t know why, yet I am getting links via stem cell research bloggers back to Horiwood.Com. This happens quite a bit. Thank you. Anyway, because I do not know enough about stem cell research, here’s a blogger on President Obama‘s stem cell research promises. [...]

WARRIORS OF SONG – LIONEL RICHIE AND GUY SEBASTIAN REMAKE A HIT FOR CHRISTCHURCH CITY’S REBUILDING EFFORT.

Dave Grohl is doing some slightly funny press lately. Today the Foo Fighters holding that they are running a competition. It’s not an ordinary competition, it’s a competition that targets the block, the neighborhood of the average American Foo Fighter fan. Dave and the Foo’s want to play a rock concert in your garage. Love [...]

In 1977, I was six years of age. On the radio at my mate Mervyn Harding‘s whare (house) up the round and around the corner, was a song called Gutter Black by Hello Sailor, a local Kiwi band. All the punk rock lads, descended from English stock, loved this song. It has a very sooty raspy [...]

Our deepest condolences go out to the people of Japan and their families around the world. During the past few days, we have all seen the heart-wrenching images and heard the reports of lives lost there, especially in the Sendai coastal region. Thousands of people have been evacuated near nuclear plants and millions are without [...]

Finding a new blade of grass to read he is drawn to the Garden City of ruins. He passes The Divine Truths, once carved by men in irremovable noble forms, of whose feet foundations lie strewn like crumbled armour shattered. Their remains are puzzled pieces of The Ancients, their ancestor heroes, now strewn and leveled [...]

“We get on terribly. I can’t stand him. No, he’s great. He’s really quiet and shy and sweet,”– Melanie Linskey has said of her work with Charlie Sheen on Two and a Half Men. She’s a funny girl. For more on Melanie Linskey surf her Hollywood bio at IMDB. [Pic of Linskey's ink via Drink Wine [...]

According to Glam Soda, Dave Grohl thinks the emotional blackmail that occurs if you say “nah bro” when Glee‘s TV show ask you for use of your music… is the pitts. In a bad way. Srsly! I agree. It’s for girls music aint it? The odd Cee Lo artist perhaps. Rockers music album archives? Not [...]

BEN HARPER AND FRIENDS FOR NAPA VALLEY LIVING.

Beautiful is the moon, rising over a Fairfax Hollywood palm in black of night. Regal is the crown of the tree, like liberty light sustained ‘neath moon’s full glow. [Use your photo shop tool to download pic and see the palm tree. Pic taken 3 minutes ago in Hollywood]. [Pic below TVNZ footage still - [...]
