This year the Hollywood film industry celebrates its 100-th anniversary. I wish I could have a time machine to travel back to those black-and-white times of Charlie Chaplin silent movies, The Birth of Nation and many other wonderful old films. I just love these Hollywoodland pictures that demonstrate a long and interesting history of Hollywood. Take a look, maybe you would also get this feeling of nostalgia? About Hollywood too: When Pranksters Had Fun with the Famous Hollywood Sign! (8 pics)  As you can see from these pictures, lots of great things can be done from wood. And I thought that wooden toys sucked… I was so wrong.  Yes, the animal world can be harsh and cruel as well as ours is and it is much about the survival of the fittest and the most insolent. So here’s a story where a woodpecker and a grosbeak came across... Only one could stay with delicious food and the other one should kiss this food goodbye… Or maybe it was just a kiss   The famous landmark in the Hollywood Hills area of Mount Lee in Los Angeles was created in 1923 as an advertisement. Unfortunately for the advertisers, this sign was a frequent target of pranks and vandalism at that time. Luckily for us, there’s always someone to take a photo, even at that time… So let’s see now how the sign looked like when it was pranked or vandalized…  In a beautiful part of southern China there are some mountains called the Southern Sky Column Mountains which have recently been renamed to the Avatar Hallelujah Mountains after the floating mountains that were featured in the blockbuster movie Avatar. The floating Hallelujah Mountains in the movie were the inspiration of a Hollywood photographer who, in 2008, shot photos of the Southern Sky Column Mountains. Now, tourists can go on a tour to see Avatar's floating mountain and learn that they were once called the Southern Sky Mountains.  These photographs come from the fashion show of a new 2010 autumn/winter collection for men from British designer Vivienne Westwood as part of the Milan men's fashion week. Ok guys, would someone dare to wear something like that… in public?   We have already posted the photograph of this car in our Picdump, but now we know all the details and want to share them with you :) This "Maniwa" was produced not by a car company, but by a small furniture factory Sada. The sports car has three wheels and three seats. The car was built by hand and consists almost entirely of wooden parts, even its rims are made of wood. The car can reach 80 km/h. But the main advantage of "Maniwa," is its design without a doubt. The interest in the Japanese wooden design is huge, Sada is already taking plenty of orders for this wooden sports car, demanding for their services a little less than 44 thousand dollars. And now, let’s look at the photos.  How do you think what is this interesting "hair" growing on this tree? Any ideas? See inside the post.  A crimson-crested woodpecker battles an olive whipsnake on Peru’s Yarapa River. One presumes that the snake was stealing eggs or attacking chicks in the woodpeckers’ nest.  Renowned photographer Sam Taylor-Wood has made a very unusual series of photographs. You will see crying famous male stars. Some of them started to cry almost immediately, without proper preparations, others had more difficulties to cry but anyway, this all seems very plausible. See for yourself how talented these actors are. Laurence Fishburne  Russia's woodpeckers are so severe that... See after the jump.  Crossville, Tennessee, hosts what is maybe the largest treehouse in the world! The house rises 97 feet into the sky! The support for the treehouse is provided by a live 80-foot-tall white oak 12 feet in diameter at its base. Six other trees help to support the house too. The treehouse has 10 floors, averaging nine to eleven ft. in height.  Remember in 2007, during the 7th of July, lots of people got married because of the symbolic 777 formed by the date, well, lots of people got married too for the 09-09-09 (999). But here, there are even more ‘9’ in the story: 9 couples got married in a 99 Cents Only Store (Hollywood), in the Aisle 9. The first couple got married at 8:09 a.m. The costs of each wedding: 99 cents. That’s quite unusual, that’s original, but that’s not what I would qualify as a good idea and that’s definitely not something I would have done…  Polish Woodstock is actually a response to the Woodstock festival that took place in 1969. Its motto is “Love, Friendship and Music.” But the Polish festival is a charity program made to raise funds for the for children's health. Thanks to our visitor Dedham who sent us the links for the article.  In this vast pool, commercials, music videos, episodes of various TV shows are shot. The "film set" is a huge reservoir of 1.2 million liters of water. The temperature of the water is always around 32 degrees Celsius so that the actors feel comfortable. This post with a small number of photographs shows the working process, revealing how it is all done in Hollywood. So, Keira Knightley, Sharon Stone and others on the underwater film set:  Luke Kay, 42, has sold for £1 million of Hollywood productions stuff. For the story, his huge collection was the cause of conflict with his wife Sharon, who banned it from the house, in Swindon, Wiltshire. They split 3 years ago after 21 years of marriage. Actually, his collection was so big that he stored it in his house, in another house and two storage units. But he decided to sell his collection because it was too much to keep. He possessed stuff that had really been used in famous productions such as Star Wars (outfits worn by Luke Skywalker, other suits and his original light sabre, full size replica of Jabba the Hut, of R2D2, of Yoda and outfits worn by Han Solo and Anakin Skywalker), Battlestar Gallactica (original helmet), Knight Rider (one of the original ‘Kit’ cars), Predator (original mask), Power Ranger (mask).  All these houses are located relatively close to each other, near a well known place in the state of California, Hollywood Hills. The prices of these beautiful houses are from $5 million and more, but they worth it. Ah, I would love a house like that! ;)  This 103-year-old mansion in Rhode Island's Narragansett Bay is built on a small rocky island far away from curious neighbors. Clingstone mansion was built in 1905 for a total cost of $ 36,000. Henry Wood and his ex-wife bought the house in 1961 for $, 3 600 and managed to bring it back to life after it was empty and abandoned for two decades. A great place to rest and relax for all.  This 32-meter high sculpture of Audi was created by designer Gerry Judah for the Goodwood Festival of Speed 2009. The sculpture shows two Audis: one vintage and the modern one that fly up to the sky.  Last Friday, these girls were competing for the best Marilyn Monroe wannabe. It’s more like a freak show   I think almost every one watched a Bollywood movie once in a lifetime. You probably have noticed that very often, Bollywood actresses are very beautiful. But is this also the case in real life? Let’s see how they look during a movie shooting and in reality, without professional makeup.  Here’s something like a wood stove. In anyway, I wouldn’t eat from there…  Stop for a while and discover the World of IZI!
