SMART WATER – JENNIFER ANISTON ROLLS LIKE A G6, PUPPIES GALORE, SMART WATER MODEL MARKETING
What friends do for friends… the art of smart water by Jennifer Aniston.
True stars make sure the smartest drinkable water in the world is available to all people on the planet – Horiwood 2010′s.
Jennifer Aniston‘s new promotional video for Smart Water begins with a chubby faced child lip syncing to the song Like a G6. Aniston then appears surrounded by cute ‘golden retriever’ puppies mimicking the UK’s Andrex marketing campaign who employ the same idea for warm fuzzies, brand awareness.
Next, a talking parrot appears. Lol! Then computer generated babies follow who start dirty dancing. Amidst a gazillion Aniston hair flicks, a man appears crying at double rainbows, Aniston comforts him. (That’s too funny!). A ginger haired dude appears, telling Jen he’s been in love with her ‘like forever.’
Kicking him in the groin (Jersey Shore styles) Aniston replies “Sorry… I’ve just been told that’s worth about a 100,000 hits.”
Aniston then dances to Gerry Rafferty’s Baker Street. Perhaps the funniest thing about the video is when Aniston tries to drink seductively from a bottle of smart water. She bursts out laughing instead. It is just water.
Jen’s team of friends then all dance and decide what to call the video. “Jen Aniston’s Sex Tape” is one suggestion. The video ends on that note. “I love it” Aniston humorously says.
My favorite part of the video is that she used the Beaner Kee Kee lip syncing kid. Brills. Perhaps making a reference to how kids are being used as parrots today to lip sync messages, not even meant for kids.
What a video! Aniston can now cover off sex tape in her star template. Albeit in a classy way.
Here on Horiwood.Com we do SMART WATER too, click on Jenn’s pic to make a difference.
For music, like a Kiwi6, click on artist Brooke Fraser‘s pic to hear her pop tune. Cute.

THE HORIWOOD TOP TEN – TUE 3.1.11
PS 22 Choir and Ithacappella and Adiza, turn on a fireworks show. It’s all about combined energy in community this year. Keep shining America and beautiful people of the world.
Today at Starbucks the 3 barista bros, talk Polynesians, Maori ta moko artistry and the All Blacks rugby football squad being so awesome at the haka. They also talk the Wiggles of Australia being so talented as child entertainers being ordinary blokes who came up with good ideas as friends. I like their thinking. Creative, uplifting and globally aware. I realize I need to school up on my American football knowledge more, cause these guys are putting me to shame with their knowledge of New Zealand and the South Pacific.
Here in Hollywood, we give thanks for children, the generation who will succeed all that we give into (or take) from the world. May smart thinking, with compassion light up the skies for these kids. Let’s do it.
Our top ten today are:
1. Natalie Portman – Oscars acceptance speech – Best Actress 2011
2. Climbing to the 3 million Hollywood blog community milestone together. Woot!
3. Healthy family teen friendships – Justin Bieber & Selena Gomez romance
4. Model citiizen – Christopher Chandler
5. Video Footage link – Christchurch City post quake
6. Lady Gaga humor – smile kid!
7. The Rock of Hollywood – Dwayne Johnson
8. Charlie Sheen talks smack for dudes feeling trapped
9. Stan Rosenfield on client’s allergies to butter addiction in the USA
10. Art – Man of Sorrows by Matthew Brooks
Thank you!
Boom, boom, boom… even brighter than a boom, boom, boom.
Featured rugby football star is Anthony Boric today. BTW – like football, rugby football is a cool sport for kids to grow up playing. It’s all about team work skills on display and communities uniting on the football field for every game. Fireworks happen on a rugby football field. As a sport its magic. I love it.

Ke$ha lives in the valley where it’s snowing right now. I think what she meant to sing was “this place about to Snow.” Cos it is. :)

OSCARS QUOTE by HALLE BERRY WITH SOME LENA HORNE
When Halle Berry became the first black woman of color to scoop up her leading actress Oscar, she wowed the world with comments like, “This moment is for Dorothy Dandridge, Lena Horne, Diahann Carroll. It’s for the women that stand beside me, Jada Pinkett, Angela Bassett, Vivica Fox. And it’s for every nameless, faceless woman of color that now has a chance because this door tonight has been opened. Thank you. I’m so honored.”–Halle Berry‘s words via American Rhetoric.Com.
This didn’t stop some b*tch in the US from blogging, “LOL what would she do if her dog died !!!”.
As you can see, good history means jack sh*t to some!
Anyway, here’s some Lena Horne music, heading in to a stormy-skied, Natalie Portman‘s Oscar winning weekend. Has a Jerusalem born actress ever won an Oscar before? I don’t think so. It could be a first!

THE HORIWOOD TOP TEN – THURS 2.24.11
Is Charlie Sheen anti-Semitic or is he justified in tapping attitudes of ingratitude that people in producing roles can often get away with in Hollywood’s studio systems. Charlie appears to be a little brash in interview comments today, with the anti-semitic police raising a flag today; or, is it all a part of the ‘Charlie Tabloid Life’ show? Who knows?! But read story below. No one seemed to get Sheen’s good sense of kvetch humor.
It’s sort of ‘normal’ pre-Oscars weekend to do a little bit of Cali-Jew ribbing with the confidence of , so that Oscars doesn’t seem so, um, skewed. So, I’m all cool with this. Good comedy writing.
Jaden Smith and Justin Bieber are also moving film sales right now, with Young Hollywood (Jr. Club) music collaborations bringing the kids in to movie theaters for the box office.

8. Maori Poetry – No Ordinary Sun – Mr Hone Tuwhare

10. Janet Jackson
Hollywood Reporter’s Sofia M. Fernandez writes - Two and a Half Men star Charlie Sheen lashed out at the show’s co-creator Chuck Lorre during an interview on the syndicated Alex Jones Show Thursday.
Saying he was told that if he went on “attack” execs would cancel the show, Sheen repeatedly referred to the showrunner as “Chaim Levine” before going off on Lorre’s vanity card last week that said “If Charlie Sheen outlives me, I’m gonna be really pissed.” (Lorre’s birth name is Charles Levine.)
Sheen said, “I didn’t care about that vanity card, I went straight home and dispelled that, that was actually one of the few compliments that clown has paid me in frickin’ almost a decade.” He continued, “I embarrassed him in front of his children and the world by healing at a pace that this un-evolved mind cannot process. I’ve spent, I think, close to the last decade I don’t know effortlessly and magically converted your tin can into pure gold. And the gratitude I get is this charlatan chose not to do his job, which is to write.”
If we get upset about Chaim Levine, what are we in Hollywood? Sheen’s name is Charles Estevez, so that is kind of funny. Again, Sheen gets top billing across most news media outlets today in the hood. Needless to say, what Jews say behind Hispanic-Americans backs, can never be written down on this Hollywood blog. It’s not worth bupkes to share and is a bit feh! to say the least.
Such exchanges between cultures are just part of the banter here in Cali. They make life colorful. Not too PC and uptight. Gosh we need more moments like this, so we can have a good laugh, while remembering that Hispanic-Americans were here first. This is their Jerusalem here in Cali, least we forget. :)
Meanwhile Justin Bieber’s DVD of his film, Never Say Never will have 40 extra minutes of never seen before footage, for the kids. That’s also big news right now.
That was Hollywood today. Thanks for acting for Christchurch City post the devastating earthquake.

OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO – HOLD IT AGAINST ME by BRITNEY SPEARS – SNAP SHOT OF AMERICA TODAY
[Click on Brit Brit's pic to watch Spears' brand new music video]
Britney Spears new music video for Hold it Against Me has dropped.
I like it. She is the hottest diva in the pop game in this minute with this new video. The video concept is well thought through and clever. Spears well-depicts Los Angeles as a media obsessed studio town of TV networks in The Entertainment Capitol of the World.
Part of the music video portrays Britney in a fight against herself. She is a rising bride too. An early MTV Madonna reference perhaps as America (always portrayed Like a Virgin), that Britney’s career highlights have covered before, as well as a Kate Middleton royal wedding reference too for the UK.
Her bride is painted in color in the mode of second generation Hollywood star, Willow Smith as dispersed from a Michael Jackson hi-tech glove as Spears perhaps talks entertainment families that endure. Her colored bride then falls from flight.
Her dancers wear white with black steel zips on top of white–quite a powerful reference. In fact, this video is laden with symbology, well worth critiquing. If I had the time, I could write a chapter of a doctoral thesis, analyzing her work as a developer of the science and art form of American celebrities construction. She is one of the best proponents in this discipline. As a video artist, Spears does this art, like few can. Read the rest of this entry »

JENNIFER ANISTON WANTS TO ADOPT, DIE TRYING IS A GOOD BAND AND SIR ELTON’S NEW PARENTING GETS SORTA CENSORED SOMWHERE
Two Magazine covers tackle the topic of parenting, Hollywood style, in these two magazine covers.
Apparently Jennifer Aniston wants to adopt. Peeps getting press already off the babies they don’t even yet have are a trip. It’s like kuros for being an invisible parent. Needless to say Louis Bardo Bullock has totally stolen Jennifer Aniston’s cover thunder. Carrie Underwood is already two month’s pregnant and Christina Arguilera‘s parenting skills get the tabloid treatment too. Will she lose son Max? It’s not like Arguilera is in a teen mom reality TV show, but okay then!
Cover Awards writes of Sir Elton John‘s magazine cover today: ”A whirlwind day! For those who’ve been keeping up, a Harps store in Arkansas decided to be place a gray plastic “Family Shield” over a stack of UsWeekly magazines featuring Elton John, David Furnish and their adopted baby.
After speaking to several employees, we learned a Family Shield is placed over a magazine by a manager’s discretion once customers have complained. News of the Harps Elton John Family Shield controversy hit the web and spread around the country like wildfire, causing Kim B. Eskew, the President and COO of Harps, to issue a statement saying the corporate office had received complaints and the shield was removed.
Eskew failed to apologize, however, leading one to believe this particular chain may engage in similar shenanigans in the future. What are your thoughts?” My thoughts are, you can’t even see David Furnish‘s eyeballs on an equitable level as Elton’s. What’s up with that – before any parenting is even discussed? In a nation where porn is rarely censored on the magazine racks, this seems a bit surreal.
Cover Awards is such a good website. Check them out to see some of the hottest magazines on sale in America.

CALI BORN JEN OF AMERICAN APPAREL SAYS HI AND TALKS ROMANCE IN AN AGE OF INTERNET DATING – 1.24.11
Jen of American Apparel is a native born Angeleno who has also lived in New York. Jen likes California better. Must be the beautiful climate.
Her day was a little rough today. Jen’s dealing with that corporate email that was sent out on mass, with her name as one of the recipients that says: “Effective, immediately, no more commission.”
As that’s not what Jen signed up for when she took the job and she’s a smart girl who says she needs to pay her rent, and the new conditions won’t see her being able to do that any more. Jen’s not having it.
Good for you Jen! Good luck on the job hunting front from here.
Jen’s just started online dating. A big step for her. So we just talked through the perils of that. In my experience of that in L.A, it could tend to leave you empty (that’s a whole other novel – not really worth being published, at this point!).
Yet Jen and I both agree that it doesn’t really matter how you meet people, it’s more how you treat them and each other when you do meet. The California rule of “You pony up, I pony up, You pony up, I pony up” always should be observed in any good relationship, each day. If that relationship is not observed like a link in a jewelry chain for example, you’re not actually in a relationship. Jen was like “wow, that’s awesome. So true.”
Jen brings out every suppressed paternal instinct in me, whereby I just want to march into those corporate offices of American Apparel and give them a good talking to, or just intimate I could ‘slightly bruise’ the face of the last online boy who would ever contemplate breaking this sweet girl’s heart. You know, it can be a scary and insincere world in an age of online dating and Facebook culture. Yet, this is Jen’s reality today as a Cali girl making new opportunities in her L.A.
Once we discussed that the “pony up” aesthetic of relationship link building is established and going on day-by-day, I advise Jen that every American girl should ‘go black’ and throw in a wild card into their relationship mix every now and again- by taking a note from the musical diaries of American pop music royalty, Janet Jackson to provide a reality check. Namely, in the form of the question raised by Ms. Janet Jackson with her dance choreographer/ current reality TV star Paula Abdul, many years ago as expressed in this song below.
Jen is so sweet and cute, I want to put her in my pocket as a mini-Hobbit girl from New Zealand or something. Look at that open honest face. Adorable!
Thanks Jen!

TE REO RANGATIRA RUGBY HISTORY, OCEANIA’S TRAILBLAZING HINEWEHI MOHI AND AUNTY NAIDA GLAVISH, ARE HEROES WHO HAVE HELPED REVIVE MAORI LANGUAGE, PRESENCE, VISIBILITY AS LEADERS
Trailblazers are US-Kiwi – Hollywood Today 2011
Did you know that Te Reo Rangatira is a language holding deeply embedded truth principles, like living words acting as guardians for people and earth preservation:
Weird good things happen in Hollywood. A day or so ago in Hollywood, I did a blog post about Virtual Oceania a website that features paradise on earth website uploads. I also of that world loved musical TV series. What’s it called? Glee I think. Then what happens? Like a magic flute, the lead singer of the music group, Oceania (aka Hinewehi Mohi) who is a Maori singing diva extraordinaire of world renown –magically appears in the news along with my Aunty Naida Glavish. Ba-bling –history shines with melodic “Kia Ora” (Hello) smiles in leading edge world leadership cultural news. Go figure!
Both women put their hands up in world history to defend Te Reo Rangatira (The Language of Chiefs), an official language and cultural treasure of Aotearoa New Zealand – allowed to be spoken, articulated, visibly and proudly for all the world to hear and see the speakers of this beautiful and poetic language containing life-giving thoughts and culture for everyone who dares to think people first and green for the planet.
JOSH GROBAN AND READING THE BOOK OF EZRA IN HOLLYWOOD 1.3.11
I woke up today and read the book of Ezra. I was left thinking, how can you be Jewish and live in Hollywood, after reading that book.
It was amazing. Although a lot of stuff was weighed.
Ezra of old, was quite a unique guy when it came to nation building. He was asked by King Cyrus of Persia (now modern day Iran) to rebuild Israel in Jerusalem. As you can imagine, such moments in world history, are sort of like miracles, when King’s hearts are turned by a divine hand. Something in Ezra’s life spoke of purity of focus and courage to build. He was Hollywood dramatic too in the way he expressed what he felt for his people. He was a fashion designer’s dream client. His trait of diligence is perhaps something for us all in these times to learn from in rebuilding nations after that rather gutting global economic crises.
Ezra is a good example of why we should write things down as we build. Centuries later, a Maori from New Zealand is reading his words in a US city titled The Entertainment Capitol of the World. He was quite a writer then. A scribe I think, was the correct term.

The next one is: how many calories should you really ingest on NYE this year?

AMERICAN BLONDE POP DIVAS – KE$HA ON BRITNEY SPEARS ON LADY GAGA ON MADONNA
Sometimes when you look at US pop music, it’s all about layering. Mesh ups are the big rage in America for fans of current pop stars. American music market tribes are extremely fierce about their pop divas. They’re US princesses of a modern age of socially shared media. They get you noticed on Facebook, Twitter, etc if you drop their names, their music, their scandals or their antics.
In the spirit of that artistic mesh-up trend online. Here’s a post featuring Britney Spears, Lady Gaga (imitating Madonna on her newest album) and Ke$ha‘s new music.Here in the US, we like them all. Yet, there’s something to be sad abut staying power. All artists borrow off each other in the history of art, staying power sets artists apart. Here’s the lyrics mesh up. I can’t say, I can make sense of much of these lyrics. But nonetheless regardless of not knowing what a CRIGGER is… this is new music.
Here’s a tri-segue blog-blend of lyrics of Government Hooker/ Till The World Ends & Blow. Above clip is of Zenga Zenga‘s YouTube hit video depicting a Colonel Kadafi rapping as mixed by Noy Alooshe.
The American pop divas mentioned will have their music mixed into this clip too on the dance floor of Young Hollywood’s hottest clubs. As a video, none of them can out do this art today. Worth sharing. Enjoy!
