Celebrities dance hula in Hawaii

Dear Best Hawaii Vacation blog visitors,
Well, hope our today's blog title made you all curious which celebrities danced the hula in Hawaii. I came across this hula dance off between Nicole Kidman and Jennifer Aniston on AMauiBlog fun post about 3000 people applying for a job as extras for the new movie 'Just Go With It' starring Adam Sandler, Jennifer Aniston and Nicole Kidman. I like the actors and I love hula.

Too bad that I was not there but I liked the ET interview with Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston and all the snippets from the hula 'competition' between Jennifer Aniston and Nicole Kidman. I read on other blogs that Nicole Kidman won this hula dance off...

One thing is for certain, celebrities love Hawaii just as we all do whether they are on vacation there or are shooting a new movie. Hope the new movie 'Just go with it' will be as much fun as watching the the hula dance off with Jennifer Aniston and Nicole Kidman. Maui visitors with upcoming Hawaii vacation might get a chance to see more of our famous celebrities. Good luck. Aloha, Pua Hawaii Vacations

Celebrities in Hawaii

Now, we know that we are too late with buying a unit at the Donald Trump Tower on Waikiki Beach Walk, we should ask ourselves why is it that not only we regular people get attracted to Hawaii but our so much admired celebrities as well.

Let’s start with the legend Elvis Presley. Elvis loved Hawaii. From his first visit in the late 1950's till his final vacation in March of 1977 he would visit Hawaii on many occasions. In addition to his three movies in Hawaii (‘Blue Hawaii’, ‘Girls Girls Girls’ and ‘Paradise Hawaiian Style’), he also came to Hawaii for live performances, the one most well known being the show "Elvis, Aloha from Hawaii" on January 14, 1973.

Like many (first time) visitors Elvis fell in love with the beauty of the Hawaiian Islands and the hospitality and aloha spirit of the people of Hawaii. The Islands are a true paradise for people in search of sun, white sandy beaches, surfing and beautiful nature scenes. Hawaii would become
Elvis Presley’s favorite vacation destination and he would enjoy many vacations there.

Quite a number of modern celebrities own a second (or third or forth?) home in Hawaii. It’s not always just because they love Hawaii and like to spend their vacation there but when one considers the $700million dollar, which Donald Trump made in November 2006 with his Waikiki Trump Tower project - guys, there is nothing there yet, but it still sold out!! - you know why Oprah is investing big time in Hawaii property and real estate.

I won’t forget the moment (must be some 8 -10 years ago) when I was working out at the gym at Mauna Kea Beach Hotel and was watching the Oprah Show to make time go by faster. People in the audience asked Oprah what she thought was a good money investment and where to buy real estate, she’d openly share her belief that Hawaii, any piece of land or home or house, would be the best investment. I don’t know how many people in the audience had the money to follow Oprah’s perfect advice. Those who did invest in Hawaii real estate, made a fortune over those past years with real estate values in Hawaii going through the roof.

That’s just what Oprah did in the past few years, following her own advice or the one of Bob Greene, her personal trainer turned property manager who planted the idea that she might buy land on one of the islands. A spokesperson for Winfrey's production company, Harpo Productions, confirmed in 2002 that Oprah made several acquisitions on Maui, among those were 102.09 acres which she bought for $11.68 million.

Did you watch the Oprah show where Oprah shared her new home on Maui with her audience or maybe you got a glimpse of Oprah’s Maui Home in the O magazine?! Beautiful, magnificent, everybody’s dream house!!! Once an ordinary little gray ranch, Oprah's Hawaiian home has been transformed into the perfect 21st-century farmhouse, with great pieces of folk art, beautifully embroidered curtains, comfortable furniture, and inviting colors with very positive energy.
Visit Oprah’s Hawaii Home in Maui.

Last but not least, Hawaii has become not just the filming location of one of the most watched TV series ‘Lost’, it has been and it is the ‘playground’ of modern celebrities like Paris Hilton, Britney Spears and Lindsey Lohan. What else can I say?

The closest I ever came to meet a celebrity in Hawaii was when I was on the set of filming the pilot for new Hawaii TV series (sorry forgot the title) on a Kona Beach and I managed to squeeze my cheap camera into somebody’s hand to have a photo taken of Bo Derek and myself. Guys, I swear I can prove it! I still have the photo, no digital image though. By the way, the series never made it past the pilot. Too bad! I would still walk around proudly showing the photo of Bo Derek and myself!
Feel free to share your encounters with celebrities in Hawaii, real or not. Let’s have some fun! Mahalo and aloha, Pua Vacation in Hawaii like Donald Trump – but cheap
p.s.
For those who love to read some real gossip about Celebrities in Hawaii, go to the bottom of the right side bar where you find links to Britney Spears in Hawaii, Paris Hilton in Hawaii & Lindsay Lohan on Maui. Warning - this is straight from the Paparazzi!

Donald Trump in Hawaii

Donald Trump in Hawaii
Or How to make 700 million dollars in 8 hours?

Well, enough of the Humpback whales in Hawaii for now. There is so much talk about the Hawaii housing bubble and that it’s time now to look for a home to buy in Hawaii… lowest prices within the last three years and more of those incentives to lure you into buying a house or condo in Hawaii and invest your money in Hawaii property.

I guess when you are Donald Trump, there is no such a thing like a wrong investment, despite of Rosie O’Donnell saying that he is bankrupt. As our slogan for this blog is ‘Vacation in Hawaii like Donald Trump - but cheap’, let’s see what the Donald is doing. Keep reading, as this is really getting interesting.

The much-watched Trump project broke ground in Waikiki on January 12, 2007.The Waikiki Beach Walk project is to be completed in 2009. Neither the Donald nor his all-star daughter Ivanka, who bought a unit in the tower during the record sell-out sale in November, attended the Waikiki groundbreaking festivities.

Trump announced last year his entrée into Hawaii's real estate market with building a Trump tower on Waikiki Beach, he created a buzz around the globe. He has put up similar towers in Las Vegas, Chicago, Miami Beach, Los Angeles and the Caribbean.

The project already has met with unprecedented demand. Units sold out for a total topping $700 million in just eight hours, setting world records for the total dollars and number of units changing hands at a residential development on a single day.
Buyers from Japan, China, Korea, Australia, Europe, Canada, Mexico, Hawaii and the mainland paid an average of $1.5 million for units. Prices at the Waikiki Trump Tower ranged from the mid-$400,000s for studios to more than $9 million for three-bedroom penthouses.

By the way, Honolulu Mayor Mufi Hannemann thinks that investment will be beneficial to Hawaii and its people but he also told Trump to “treat my people properly and utilize the aloha spirit in everything that you do." Trump answered: "No problem, I've done this all over the world."
Read the entire story by Honolulu Starbulletin on Trump Project on Waikiki Beach. Thinking about owning a home in Hawaii, see our Hawaii Real Estate market links or this Kohala Coast Home for Sale. This is a start. Not everybody can build a Tower on Waikiki Beach and make 700 million in 8 hours!!!

As usual, please, be invited to leave your comment. What do you think about the Hawaii Real Estate market? Is it time to invest in Hawaii properties or rather wait till prices go more down (if so)? Aloha, Pua Vacation in Hawaii Like Donald Trump - but cheap!
