True fact: The Maori word for spirit is wairua. It means “two waters.” Water distribution is a spiritually humane act, because it takes anyone with spirit to ensure that people who need it, can have life each hour of the day. Our spirits need to act with goodness so water can happen for 1 billion people. Most of these people are in India and Africa. I wonder if China can help as water has so much significance as a metaphor for spirit in China. When I China is already helping share water.
Exciting News: For only $10 invested at Charity Water, one person in the world can have fresh clean drinking water, for a lifetime – when currently 1 billion people don’t have access to it yet. Isn’t that cool information?
It’s the end of the year in Hollywood. Normally I do the list of The 50 People Who Were Voted Most Hottest in Hollywood, as a really good compare and contrast democratic exercise in who is actually hot –vs, other media outlets lists. It can be quite surprisingly the results. On this website, votes are voted daily. The results always provide a study. For example Lady Gaga was no.1 last year, before she’d even appeared on Oprah’s Show.
This year though I thought instead of glorifying Hollywood’s Top 50 list, a priority first, was to link the list of stars, celebrities, hot Hollywood topics in this blogs category list with the topic of H2O. Sometimes we forget that the difference between a ‘star’ and an unknown third world person – is simply basics of humanity or human rights too, like clean drinking water being one–and equal access to it. So, before that list happens, let’s work the existing list already created of people and stars on this blog, who all can do something to help other peeps have life that flows daily with decent water.
Let’s do it as a Christmas gift to the world. Each star who gets any press going up online, have these news items emailed to them daily in the form of google alerts emails. So, in doing this exercise, this is my challenge as a Maori-Kiwi blogger to each one of US as I like US together as a global community connected to all people in the world, to give the gift of water this Christmas to someone else in celebration of life. Celebrity is about water. A celebrity is “anyone who deserves to be celebrated.” In giving water to someone else–we celebrate life, and we act like true celebrities of the world.
Merry Christmas and if you feel inclined, make a difference. is our water distribution agency today. It’s a trust that is action certified that Nicole Richie all year round. Richie also does work too for water distribution via UNICEF as well. I think that’s pretty gnarly good. Let’s do it and make a difference. Cheers and thanks for reading this blog all year round. May festive greetings flow to others too through US. Much love.
Until every person has clean drinking water –no one in the world has true power. Who are we fooling? There will never be peace in the world, if people are fighting over clean water each day. As a power balance exercise that makes us civilized nations look less fake in the eyes of the world, let’s have some fun and make it happen. :)

American summer 2010 looks like this. Bikinis for the sun and Guidos for American beach fun. Here’s the pics from Bar Refaeli‘s and Mike “The Situation”‘s photoshoot with Terry Richardson for the much coveted A-List actors terrain of Interview Magazine.
These crazy kids are bringin it! It’s all about muscle, abs, beef, braun, laughter and waxing and eyebrows. Love their sense of humor. Like pizza with extra cheese to entertain. Too funny!
Pop Cultural Commentary: The phenomenon of the Jersey Shore lads rise to fame as reality TV stars to becoming Party Boys Central for the kids of America to feel privileged at events when they turn up at festivals and clubs… mirrors the rise of Italian-American break out pop star, Lady Gaga.
American culture and how it is created and generated is all about reflecting back different expressions of America’s celebrity monarchy via pop culture (think Beyonce and her African-American supporters and minions in music–Bee has a lot! A whole army who work for her, and feed up their best creativity to her and Jay-Z).
As long as Lady Gaga is famous, these Jersey Shore lads will always have a platform in US culture. Love them! They are the cheesy and “italian stallion” male expression of her pop diva-dom reign in America. They deconstruct the cartoon and stereotype of Italian American men, by knowingly rocking out with it. This appears to be addictive to American women mainly, as pizza is comfort food–and the lads of Jersey Shore are much loved here.
Bar Refaeli is too Tarzan and Jane hot in these pics as she rocks these lads out for America. What a sport. She gives them some fashion credentials–that they never had until now to begin a career in fashion, health and fitness endorsements. Good for her!

Um… they sure don’t make Israeli girls good any more, like they used to… like how you would read about in the Torah. I kid!
Leonardo DiCaprio loans out his Israeli supermodel girlfriend, to give America’s favorite guido’s some star power as Refaeli says, “Hey, more Italian-American leading lads are needed in show biz in America, thank you!”
She seems to like their entertainment sandwhich. Says the Egotastic website: “Here’s Bar Refaeli in a bikini with all the meathead, Guido douchebags from Jersey Shore, as photographed by Terry Richardson for Interview magazine.”
That was a bit harsh from Egotastic. What a sweetheart Bar Refaeli is for rocking out with these lads in a photo shoot as Jersey Shore hitch their star to her bikini wagon. This is how stars are created. And Bar is a very funny girl!
The current cultural environment is that America is leading with a “Pussy Wagon” publicity rhetoric to create its male superstars of today. Think Jesse James, Tiger Woods (again) etc. A “pussy wagon” publicity blitz is how they get themselves noticed and become percieved as male sex symbols and America’s leading lad stars.
I’m not saying it’ s right or wrong, but this is America’s cultural rhetoric at this second. James and Woods in particular trucked in a lot, to get their headlines this year. Incidentally, Woods was renowned to be having affairs before even marrying Elen Nordegren and at the same time he married her. This was common knowledge in entertainment circles.
Sandra Bullock married Jesse James at the same time Woods married Nordegren, 5 years ago. Five years later, a bevy of women were “exposed”/ revealed/ presented to the world–for them to become two of the biggest stories in the last year. It tooks Sandra Bullock and Tiger Woods big news headlines to bump the death of Michael Jackson off the celebrity radar. The onas being, that extra-marital affairs with women, was certainly a better look for America than child molestation rumors that plagued Michael Jackson’s life and career. In light of that, yes… a pussy wagon trail is better than that torrid picture from American entertainers. But the current version that replaced that old one, is just not a good message to send to women, children, families to be treated this way like James and Woods depicted from American men, in garnering their media attention and breaking their stories.
But let’s get back to the Jersey Shore lads and their Israeli supermodel of the moment who is acting as their pussy wagon star maker. (Without Bar in the pic–these lads would look totally gay, right?! They love their bodies too much to be straight so they desperately need a bikini body making their image look hetero).
Bar Refaeli is more than happy to do the job. Refaeli’s statement today is–my bikini body can rock four guys out–you don’t need a whole entourage to be a man. She’s a hoot! And of course, Bar Refaeli’s #1 fan, Leonardo DiCaprio, her boyfriend gets a lot out of the Jersey Shore lads media presence. Every time you see them, you think Italian-American entertainment which = DiCaprio + Scorcese–the reigning Hollywood Kings of Italian-American entertainment in film at the box office. Gotta love it today. Go Bar Refaeli!

Israel’s Romeo & Juliet Hollywood Story: A bro in Israel seems to think that Bar Refaeli should dump Leo DiCaprio because Leo is not Jewish. Check out this crazy shizzle today. The L.A. Times is reporting:
“It is not by chance that you were born Jewish,” wrote Baruch Marzel in a letter he sent Refaeli through her mother (and that promptly appeared in the press). ”Your grandmother and her grandmother did not dream that one of their descendants would one day remove the family’s future generations from the Jewish people. Assimilation has forever been one of the enemies of the Jewish people.”
Okay then. We have a little bit of racism going on here. No matter what race one is, should one’s heart lead, in romantic choices? I mean, all people are created equal, right? And in Israel’s history, the Jewish King, Solomon wrote a whole book of poetry, for ‘The Shulamite’ (said to be The Queen of Sheba, an Arab Queen) that had captured his heart with her wisdom and beauty. So Baruch Marzel needs to stop going to those wild Israeli clubs so much at night and get his face back in that Torah instead perhaps. :) Hi bro!
Nice Shutter Island publicity today, with a global message, from DiCaprio and Refaeli’s camp.
