Sharon Cuneta

I read that the Megastar had signed a deal with ABC5 so if it is true then she will left ABS-CBN. According to the news she signed a five years contract with the Kapatid Channel. Did she made a right decision? Many people said that she will lost her statues as the megastar but many people also said that she lost it long time ago just like other star whose start was brightly shining. Many people also said that Sharon is balingbing.But whether it is true or not she still get the biggest salary.

Ganyan naman yang si mega palipat lipat, papalit-palit, kung san mas may pera. Teka nung 1995 sinalubong nya ang santo papa with her on a jollibee billboard, after a while sa mc doo na daw siya. Dati Globe connect daw siya, ngayon smart na daw siya. Mga ilang taon din yon ang sabi niya "walang tatalo sa alaska" pero ngayon 'laking nido na raw mga anak niya". salbakuta at di lang yan... kahit na anak niya si kc na "UN ambassador against hunger" pero tingnan nyo ang mga endorsements niya puro mga basic necessities lalo na ng mga mahihirap: gamot, gatas, pati nga instant noodles na national food na ng mga dukha pinatos nya. e sa milyon milyon na endorsement fee nya rito o di ba mga ilang sentimo na rin sanang kabawasan sa presyo yun ng produkto. parang inaagawan na niya at ng iba pang mga rich & famous endorsers ng makakain at gamot ang mga mahihirap. At itong balitang 1B contract niya natural sa ads naman babawiin yan ni mvp san pa ba e di tayo na namang mga kunsyumer ang papasan niyan and since na di naman ganun kakapal ang commercial ads ng tv5, tiyak babaha na naman dito ang ads ng mga co. ni mvp like meralco, manila water, pldt etc etc. yari na naman tayo. Eto naman ang tinatawag na "profit sharing thru advertising " ng mga companies ni mvp to tv5 at the expense of the consumers/susbcribers and some stockholders of those utility cos plus mapapababa pa nila ang ROIs ng mga ito (for govt regularatory purposes esp for meralco) while tv5 gains everything. wais...

Mara Clara remake gets Banff nomination

2011-04-19T21:55:00.000-07:00

Mara Clara Cast

The remake of Mara Clara is nominated for Banff. The casts are very happy about it. The original Mara Clara was aired in ABS-CBN in the 90's that made Judy Ann Santos and Gladys Reyes a household names. The remake is the most watched telenovela today.

Kathryn Bernardo and Julia Montes plays Mara and Clara respectively. Mara Clara is the story of two young ladies who were switched when they were babies in the hospital.

The other local telenovela that is nominated is the Baker King which is an adaptation from a Korean telenovela which is entitled as Bread, Love and Dreams.

MANILA, Philippines - ABS-CBN's remake of the 90s classic soap opera "Mara Clara" is set to compete in Canada's 2011 Banff World Media Festival in June.

According to Banff's official website, "Mara Clara" is one of the two Asian nominees in the Telenovelas & Soap Operas category, pitted against South Korea's "Bread, Love and Dreams," popularly known locally as GMA 7's "Baker King."

Aside from "Bread, Love and Dreams," "Mara Clara" will be up against the United Kingdom's "Coronation Street"; and the USA's "Days of Our Lives," "Eva Luna" and "The Queen of the South" in the same category.

"Mara Clara" was originally aired on ABS-CBN from 1992 until 1997. The original story, created by Emil Cruz, Jr., follows the life of two young ladies, the meek but poor Mara and the rich villain Clara, who were switched at birth. The original starred Judy Ann Santos (Mara) and Gladys Reyes (Clara).

In 2010, ABS-CBN announced that a remake of the hit TV series will be aired and will star rookie actresses Kathryn Bernardo as Mara and Julia Montes as Clara. The show is currently airing on ABS-CBN's primetime block.

The Banff World Media Festival, also known as the "Rockies," is an "internationally-recognized awards program celebrating the very best in international television and digital media production" and will run from June 12-15.

Generally, the festival is divided into three categories: the Fiction Rockies, the Non-Fiction Rockies and the Interactive Rockies. The Telenovelas & Soap Operas category is under the Fiction Rockies, a category that "recognizes the very best in scripted television programming from around the world."

The Fiction Rockies awards ceremony will take place on June 12 at the AOL Canada Theater and will be hosted by "Entertainment Tonight" Canada's Hollywood correspondent Matte Babel.

Regine is pregnant

2011-04-17T03:37:00.000-07:00

Regine Velasquiz-alcasid

MANILA, Philippines – Regine Velasquez and Ogie Alcasid on Sunday confirmed that they are expecting their first baby.

The couple made the revelation on GMA 7 musical variety show “Party Pilipinas” after weeks of keeping silent.

It was reported earlier this month that the 40-year-old diva is pregnant.

In her phone interview, Velasquez said she is now 7 weeks pregnant.

She said she is not craving for any particular food.

“I just crave for some type of food but then after I eat it, I don’t like it anymore. Hindi na ako bumabalik doon. Paminsan-minsan lang. Pero ‘yong taong pinaglilihian ko, parang pinaglilihian ko si Dingdong Dantes at na-gwa-gwapuhan ako kay Richard [Gutierrez]. Nagpahingi pa nga ako ng picture,” she said, adding:

“Akala ko nga paglilihian ko si Heart Evangelista… Mas gusto ko ‘yong guy na face.”

If it is a boy, she said she will name it after her husband, who is Herminio Jhay Alcasid Jr. in real life. “Wala pa akong naiisip na [name pag girl] kasi naka-set na ang mind ko sa Herminio kasi alam ko lalaki.”

As for her birthday wish, Velasquez, who is turning 41 on April 22, said she wants her baby to be healthy regardless of gender.

“This is probably one of the happiest birthdays na nagkaroon ako. My wish is for my baby to be healthy, kahit ano, kahit babae, kahit lalaki, maganda kapag twins, sana healthy lang siya,” she said.

As for Alcasid, he is asking for the public’s prayer especially during his wife’s first trimester.

“Sana ipagdasal natin si Regine kasi hindi kaila sa inyo na kami matanda na. Medyo maselan ang kanyang pagbubuntis, alam ninyo naman first trimester,” he said.

He added in jest: “At ipagdasal ninyo ako na kayanin ko lahat ng demands ng aking asawa.”

It is Velasquez’s first pregnancy. Alcasid, meanwhile, has 2 daughters from his first marriage to former Australian beauty queen Michelle van Eimeren.

AJ Perez Died in Vehicular Accident

2011-04-17T03:27:00.000-07:00

MANILA, Philippines (4th UPDATE) – Eighteen-year-old actor and model AJ Perez was killed in a highway accident in Tarlac early Sunday morning, according to a report by radio dzMM.

Police said Perez was with his father and 4 others aboard an ABS-CBN van that collided with a Partas provincial passenger bus along McArthur Highway in Barangay San Julian, Tarlac.

Police Officer 2 Michael Millante of the Moncada Police told dzMM that Perez was declared dead on arrival by a hospital in Paniqui shortly after the accident took place at 12:10 a.m.

Perez’s 5 other companions were reportedly also injured during the crash and were taken to the hospital for treatment. They are Gerardo Perez (father), driver Christopher Bautista, Christina Ferrer, Edwin Patelos and Dannilyn Nunga.

The group had just come from a show in Dagupan and were reportedly on their way back to Manila.

Millante said the van carrying the victims tried to overtake a trailer truck when it collided with the incoming Partas bus.

"Nung makarating sa may Barangay San Julian, allegedly itong van ng ABS-CBN, um-overtake ng isang trailer. 'Yung pagka-overtake n'ya po, in the process, nag-alangan po siya. Tinamaan po niya itong Partas na nagresulta sa pagkapinsala nung laman ng van," he said.

Earlier, showbiz reporter and columnist Ogie Diaz reported the incident through his Twitter account.

"Galing ng Dagupan, pauwi na. Tulog lahat sa van. Sa Tarlac, biglang bumangga sa trak. Bago pa nadala si AJ Perez sa ospital, wala nang buhay," Diaz tweeted.

Diaz said he has talked to the father of the Star Magic actor.

"Nasa isang clinic sa Paniqui, Tarlac ang mga labi ni AJ Perez. Kausap ko si Daddy kanina, iyak nang iyak. Ndi ako makakatulog nito," added Diaz.

Shortly before the accident, Perez was still able to post a Twitter message thanking his fans who attended his show in Dagupan.

"On the way home already from Dagupan.Long drive ahead.. Thanks to everybody who watched, thanks to zui for the gifts.And hi again to jarred!" said Perez.

Messages of sympathy

ABS-CBN, meanwhile, issued a statement regarding the actor's death.

"ABS-CBN sympathizes with AJ's Family on his untimely demise and urges everyone to pray for the eternal repose of AJ's soul and for the family and love ones he left behind," the network said in a statement read by Corporate Communications manager Kathy Solis over dzMM.

Fans and co-workers took to the social media networks to express their shock about the news of Perez's sudden death. They also expressed messages of sympathy to the actor's family.

"Aj. You were like a brother to me. You'll always be in my heart. May you rest in peace.'," wrote young actress Lauren Young who was paired with Perez in the now-defunct youth-oriented television show "Abt Ur Luv."

"I'm going to miss you so much. My loveteam, my friend, my brother. All I know is you're in a better place now and I won't question that," she added.

"We are so saddened with the passing of AJ Perez (@ajperez17). Rest in peace brother. :( #fb," tweeted actor Enchong Dee.

":( condolences and prayers of comfort and strength to the family and love ones of aj perez... Such sad news.." beauty queen Lara Quigaman said in her Twitter account.

"I'm still in shock. My condolences to the family of AJ Perez. napakabait na bata," shared actress Angel Locsin.

Entertainment career

Perez, or Antonello Joseph Sarte Perez in real life, appeared in various commercials of companies and brands, Colgate, Pepsi, Sun Cellular, Ayala Land, and Globe Telecom. He popularized the phrase "ye-bah!" in the UFC Banana Ketchup ad.

Farley Granger dead at 85

2011-03-31T05:41:00.000-07:00

Farley Granger is known for the movie "Rope". I watched this film many times and I am amazed by his performance. He was also a good looking guy later on I found out that he is gay.

Farley Granger

NEW YORK – Farley Granger, the 1950s bobby sox screen idol who starred in the Alfred Hitchcock classics "Rope" and "Strangers on a Train," has died. He was 85.

Granger died Sunday of natural causes, said Ellen Borakove, a spokeswoman for the New York City medical examiner's office.

Granger, who died at his Manhattan home, was an overnight Hollywood success story. He was a 16-year-old student at North Hollywood High School when he got the notion that he wanted to act and joined a little theater group.

Talent scouts for movie mogul Samuel Goldwyn saw the handsome youngster and signed him to a contract. His first movie was "The North Star" in 1943, a World War II story that starred Anne Baxter and Dana Andrews.

"It was one of those miracle careers," he said. "I had no talent and no training whatsoever and suddenly I was thrown ... (in) with Walter Huston, Erich von Stroheim, Anne Baxter, Ann Harding and Walter Brennan."

A decade later, at the height of his Hollywood stardom, he walked away from it to really learn his craft. He spent the rest of his career in a mix of movies, television and stage work.

Granger was born on July 1, 1925, in San Jose, Calif., where his father was a car dealer. The business went bust during the Depression and in 1933 the family moved to Los Angeles where he was subsequently spotted.

His career halted for U.S. Navy service during World War II — "I was chronically seasick." But when he was mustered out he returned to Hollywood and the Goldwyn publicity machine.

"Goldwyn firmly believed in big hype and hoopla for his stars, so he'd publicize me in projects that were never even written just to get space in the fan magazines," Granger once recalled.

The magazines ran pictures of Granger in swim trunks cavorting with such stars as Debbie Reynolds, Ann Blyth and Jane Powell. But he said the only serious romance he had with a woman was with Shelley Winters.

In the 2007 memoir "Include Me Out," written with his partner Robert Calhoun, Granger says he was bisexual.

He writes about a Honolulu night that epitomized his life. A 21-year-old virgin and wartime Navy recruit, he was determined to change his status. He did so with a young and lovely female prostitute. He was about to leave the premises when he ran into a handsome Navy officer. Granger was soon in bed again.

"I lost my virginity twice in one night," he writes.

His lifelong romance with Winters was "very much a love affair."

"It evolved into a very complex relationship, and we were close until the day she died," he said in a 2007 interview with The Associated Press.

A briefer affair with Ava Gardner began when both quarreled with their dates at a Hollywood Christmas party. "We met at the bar and left together," he recalled in the interview. "It was a short but pretty intense and enormously fun affair."

He also writes about his same-sex celebrity affairs. For a time, he lived with Arthur Laurents, writer of the stage and movie versions of "West Side Story" and "Gypsy." In New York, Granger says he had a two-night fling with Leonard Bernstein.

Granger made "Rope" in 1948 and "Strangers on a Train" in 1951. In the latter, based on the classic novel by Patricia Highsmith, he played a tennis star who meets a man on a train. The other man, played by Robert Walker, turns out to be a psychotic who proposes that each of them murder the other's troublesome relative. He tells Granger's character, "Some people are better off dead — like your wife and my father, for instance."

Walker's character proceeds to carry out his part of the bargain, killing the tennis star's estranged wife and trapping the Granger character in an ever-tightening circle of suspicion.

Beside the two Hitchcock thrillers, Granger appeared in "They Live By Night," "Roseanna McCoy," "Side Street," "The Story of Three Loves," "Edge of Doom" and "Hans Christian Andersen."

But he wasn't happy with most of the films he was offered. "I was on suspension most of the time for turning down scripts," he recalled. Finally, in 1953, he effectively fired his boss and headed for New York.

"I bought out my contract from Goldwyn, which had two years to go. It took every penny I had. It helped that I didn't live a big fancy life, that I'd saved my money for a rainy day. Because that was a rainy day.

"I left Hollywood because I didn't know my craft," he said. "I was a star, but I knew nothing of the techniques of acting. I figured I'd better learn or I'd be in trouble when the star aspects of my career wore off."

In New York, he studied with Stella Adler, Lee Strasberg and Sanford Meisner, among the top and most famous acting coaches.

"What saved my life then was live television, the so-called Golden Age of television drama," Granger said. "I did a lot of it and loved it. Most movie actors were afraid to go into live TV because they weren't used to it. I had to, just to make a living, but I also wanted to because it was the closest thing to theater."

He made his Broadway debut in 1960 in "First Impressions," a musical version of Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice." He later did two years with Eva Le Gallienne's repertory troupe and a considerable stint as the lead in the long-running thriller "Deathtrap."

Granger continued to make films over the years, including "The Girl in the Red Velvet Swing," "The Serpent," "The Man called Noon," "The Imagemaker" and "The Whoopee Boys." He made several movies in Italy including Luchino Visconti's "Senso."

He also appeared in several daytime soaps, including "As the World Turns," "Edge of Night" and "One Life to Live," for which he received a Daytime Emmy nomination.

But he said he preferred the stage: "I feel I'm much more relaxed in front of an audience than a camera. I feel the response. The live audience really turns me on and I like it.

Angel Locsin and Phil Younghusband seen dating

2011-03-31T02:19:00.000-07:00

Angel Locsin and Phil Younghusband of Azkals are seen dating but they react when ask if they dated regularly. Angel Locsin is the star of Immortals which is currently shown in ABS-CBN. Actually it all started on twitter when Phil was inviting her and KC Concepcion for a date but KC is now engaged with Piolo Pascual.

Here is the news about Angel and Phil Younghusband:

Last Sunday ay mabilis na kumalat ang balitang spotted daw magka-date sina Angel Locsin at Phil Younghusband that same day sa isang restaurant. Ayon pa sa ibang report ay um-attend pa muna diumano ang dalawa sa isang church service bago pa tumuloy sa isang restaurant for dinner sa Serendra, The Fort, Taguig City.

Isang photo rin ang ipinadala sa isang entertainment blogsite at kitang-kita nga na magkasama sina Angel at Phil sa labas ng isang establishment. Nakumpirma naman sa isang exclusive interview ng news correspondent na si Ginger Conejero kay Phil ang balitang ito. Kinamusta ng reporter kung ano ang nangyari sa nasabing dinner. “It was nice,” natatawang sagot ng Azkals striker. Tinanong din ni Ginger si Phil kung nanggaling nga ba sila ni Angel sa isang church service bago tumuloy sa isang restaurant. “Did we?” natatawang sagot pa rin ni Phil.

Nang hingan naman ng pahayag si Angel tungkol sa issue ay isang text message naman ang ipinadala ng aktres na naglalaman lang ng makahulugang smiley. Mas gusto ng dalawang manatiling pribado kung ano man ang status ng kanilang friendship ngayon.

Ayon pa kay Phil ay lalo na raw niyang nakikilala si Angel ngayong madalas na silang nagkakasama. “I’d express my admiration for Angel and I think people want to know the details now and I wanna keep everything private, we’re getting to know each other,” pagtatapos ni Phil.

Miriam Quiambao will host Binibining Pilipinas 2011

2011-03-31T02:02:00.000-07:00

The beauty queen Miriam Quiambao will host the in coming Binibining Pilipinas this coming April 10, 2011. Miriam was 1st runner-up in 1999 Miss Universe Pageant which was held in Trinidad and Tobago. She will host along with Derek Ramsay, Precious Lara Quigaman Miss International 2005 and Charlene Gonzales 6th placer in Miss Universe 1994 which was held in Manila, Philippines.

Miriam has high hope for this years pageant because of so many beautiful and smart candidates. She said that hopefully they can select a winners out of these 40 ladies to represent the country and will bring home a crown. Miriam Quiambao also expressed herself about the four disqualified ladies before the final. She said that people have different values but they should fallow what the organization is looking for.

Miriam Quiambao

Miriam also expressed her opinion about the surprising number of disqualified contestants for this year’s Binibining Pilipinas pageant. As of press time, four candidates have been booted out reportedly because of their sexy and/or nude photos out on the Internet and in print. These four contestants are Ma. Paula Bianca Paz (who had a sexy pictorial for a calendar two years ago), Grendel Alvarado, Jen Olivar, and Roxanne Cabañero.

“I guess some people have different values but it’s Binibining Pilipinas Charities (BPC) that holds the rules (and) that calls the shots, so whatever they say goes,” Miriam said in an interview at the Run for Home 2011 of Globe Telecommunications last March 27.

However, the beauty-queen-turned-actress continued that in some cases, a contestant might still succeed in changing the BPC’s decision to return to the competition. She cited Venus Raj for example, who was previously dethroned after she was crowned Binibining Pilipinas-Universe last year, when questions about her nationality spurred. “Kung sinuman ‘yung na-disqualify maaari nating ipaglaban kagaya ni Venus. Ipinaglaban niya, nanalo siya and then she went on to represent the country and ended up fourth place (in Miss Universe 2010).Pwede nilang ipaglaban pero in the end nasa discretion pa rin ng BPC kasi nasa kanila ang franchise.”

In her opinion Miriam explained that it is important for BPC to check the contestant’s background because the management wants to ensure the eligibility of candidates. “Ako kasi I’m not in a position to judge, it really goes for different people. However for a representative, I guess BPC has to send someone with a good moral character,” she said.

Miss World Philippines is telecast in GMA7

2011-03-24T13:30:00.000-07:00

Miss Philippines World

Cory Quirino is happy that GMA7 has partnered with her to televised the Miss Philippines World this coming July. SM Holdings is one of the major sponsor of the event. The pageant right to select a candidate to represent Philippines in the Miss World Pageant was awarded to Cory Quirino by Julia Morley and in fact she went to the Philippines to gave the franchise.

The winner for this pageant will receive One Million Pesos, a brand new condo unit and the right to represent the country for Miss World Pageant. This is the first time that a national pageant in the Philippines will give more than a million peso price. I hope other organization will follow to encourage more beautiful ladies to join.

Here is the news about Miss Philippines World:

Opisyal nang pumirma ang beauty and wellness guru at Chairwoman and CEO of CQ Global Quest na si Cory Quirino with GMA-7 bilang official TV network partner ng Miss World-Philippines 2011.

Naganap ang contract signing between Cory and GMA executives Mr. Jimmy Duavit (Executive Vice President and COO) and Ms. Wilma Galvante (Senior Vice-President for Entertainment Television) noong nakaraang Martes, March 22, sa boardroom ng GMA Network Center.

Masayang-masaya si Cory dahil sa wakas ay may tahanan na ang Miss World-Philippines. Ang CQ Global Quest ang may hawak ng franchise ngayon at si Cory ang uupo bilang pageant director.

Dating nasa Binibining Pilipinas Charities, Inc. ang franchise ng Miss World. Pero nag-decide ang Chairwoman at CEO of Miss World Limited na si Julia Morley na ibigay na sa iba ang exclusive license agreement ng Miss World sa Pilipinas.

Nataon na si Cory Quirino ang pinili at pinagkatiwalaan ng franchise ng Miss World.

"They only gave me three minutes to decide if I want it or not!" natatawang pagbabalik-tanaw ni Cory sa panayam sa kanya ng PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal).

"It was only in January of this year that Ms. Julia Morley talked with me with regards to the Miss World franchise. They really asked for me and they wanted an immediate answer if I would agree to handle the Miss World franchise.

"Like I said, they only gave me three minutes. Since I [only] had that short of a time time, I prayed to the Lord for a sign. Should I accept it or not? I immediately got an answer kaya hindi pa tapos ang three minutes, I said yes to them.

"I know that this will be a big challenge on my part. I've worked with many people before but this is the first time that I will embark in a national pageant. It's nerve-wracking but I accept the challenge. I know that God will always be there for me and guide me through everything."

Nakausap ng PEP si Cory sa formal launch ng Miss World-Philippines 2011 last Wednesday, March 23, sa SMDC Grand Showroom sa SM Mall of Asia Complex.

FORMAL TURNOVER. Nagkaroon ng formal turnover ng franchise ng Miss World noong January 25, 2011 sa EDSA Shangri-La Manila Hotel kunsaan dumalo si Julia Morley at ang reigning Miss World 2010 na si Alexandria Mills ng U.S.A.

Ayon kay Cory, naging mabilis ang mga pangyayari. Marami raw siyang natawagan agad para magbigay ng suporta sa pag-launch ng Miss World-Philippines 2011. Lahat daw ng tinawagan ay nangakong tutulong at magbibigay ng anumang suporta na kailangan niya.

"God is so good talaga. I never expected that it will all happen so fast. Parang kelan lang na kinausap nila ako for the handling of the franchise and we had a successful turnover.

"Then last Tuesday lang, official TV network na ng Miss World-Philippines ang GMA-7. If all of these are not God's work, I don't know what it is.

"Naniniwala kasi ako na kung hindi para sa iyo, hindi magaganap. But all of these blessings are coming in and I have nothing else to say kundi amen. Everything is really coming from God."

RIVALRY WITH BPCI. Ipinapanalangin ni Cory na hindi maaapektuhan ang pagkakaibigan niya with the people of Binibining Pilipinas Charities, Inc. sa paghawak niya ng Miss World-Philippines.

"I pray na walang mangyaring gano'n because I've been friends with Ms. Stella Marquez-Araneta for a very long time. And the rest of the people of BPCI. I just want people to know na trabaho lang ito. Nothing personal at all.

"In fact, I've already reached out to them noong in-offer sa akin ang franchise. That was also noong nakaraang January. I called their office, pero wala raw doon si Mrs. Araneta. So I left a message kung puwede ba kaming mag-usap over dinner because of these things happening. But I never received a reply from anyone up to this day.

"It's okay naman because that's the way it is. Sabi nga ng iba, business lang ito. And no one should take it personally.

"Ako naman, if they are willing to still talk with me, I'm always open para sa kanila. I will still wait for that reply from them."

FORMAL LAUNCH. Naging successful ang formal launch ng Miss World-Philippines 2011 kahapon. Dinaluhan ito ng maraming designers, stylists, talent scouts, press and media people, at former title holders tulad nila Maria Isabel Lopez (Bb. Pilipinas-Universe 1982), Simonette delos Reyes (Bb. Pilipinas-Universe 1970), at Maggie Wilson-Consunji (Bb. Pilipinas-World 2007).

Naging host ng naturang event si KC Montero.

Ani Cory, "I'd like to thank the people who came to the launch. Halos lahat ng mga inimbita namin ay dumating. I am overwhelmed by it all. Everyone is happy that we have this new pageant and it will be aired on GMA-7.

"I would personally like to thank the people of the Kapuso Network for really giving this a chance. Hindi nila ako pinahirapan. Umoo kaagad sila sa request ko. Pangako nga nila, they will do what's best for Miss World-Philippines. Kaya naman sobra ang pasasalamat ko sa kanilang suporta."

Donald Trump has doubt about Obama was born in United States

2011-03-24T13:10:00.001-07:00

Donald Trump

Donald Trump has a doubt that President Barack Obama was born in United States particularly in Hawaii because he said that nobody could remember him until late when he was a grown up man. Donald felt strange that nobody new Obama as a child in Hawaii. You can't run as a president in United states if you are not naturally born in such country.

Donald Trump is more serious about his intention to run for president under Republican Party in 2012. He said that if he will not be nominated in the party and he will run independently. Donald Trump is a billionaire and he think that it make him beautiful.

Here is an interview about current issues and strategy if hi will become the next president.

Donald Trump, who says he's weighing a run for president next year, waded into the "birther" controversy this week, telling ABC's"Good Morning America" that he has "a little doubt" that Barack Obama was born in the United States.

The reason? Trump said he finds it strange that "nobody knew" Obama as a young child in Hawaii.

"Let me tell you . . . if I got the nomination, if I decide to run, you may go back and interview people from my kindergarten. They'll remember me. [With Obama,] nobody comes forward. Nobody knows who he is until later in his life. It's very strange."

Birther proponents claim Obama cannot constitutionally serve as president because he isn't a natural born citizen. In 2008, the Obama campaign produced a certification of live birth showing he was born in Honolulu, and Hawaii Gov. Neil Abercrombie has said he was a friend of Obama's parents and remembers when the future president was born -- but none of that has placated birthers.

On other matters, the always outspoken Trump didn't hold back.

- On his intentions to run for president: "I have never been so serious as I am now." (After the interview, reporter Ashleigh Banfield said Trump told her that he would consider running as an independent if he didn't win the GOP nomination.)

- On his willingness to spend $600 million of his own money on a campaign: "Part of the beauty of me is that I'm very rich."

- On the turmoil in Libya: He called for a "surgical strike" to take out Moammar Gadhafi.

- On Somali pirates: "Give me an admiral and a couple ships. I would wipe them out of the sea so fast."

- On China: "While we spend billions of dollars a week on being policeman for the world, China is spending billions a day taking over the world economically. That's not a good formula for us."

- On Charlie Sheen: "I know Charlie Sheen . . . he's wonderful, but he's a disaster."

Who is Elizabeth Taylor

2011-03-24T12:29:00.000-07:00

Elizabeth Taylor is perhaps the most beautiful actress in Hollywood while Marilyn Monroe is the sexiest. But who is really Elizabeth Taylor? We knew her as the best friend of Michael Jackson, as humanitarian being and who married eight times. Well here is an article about the last star in Hollywood.

Elizabeth Taylor

Taylor's legendary beauty preceded her first films. According to legend, a talent scout spotted her playing as a child and tried to interest her mother in putting her up for the role of Bonnie Blue Butler in Gone with the Wind (1939). She started dancing at three in her native London, where she performed in a recital for Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret. When World War II started, her art dealer father sent the girl and her mother to California to escape the Blitz.

She made her big-screen debut opposite "Our Gang" star Carl "Alfalfa" Switzer in There's One Born Every Minute (1942).Her first Metro film was Lassie Come Home (1943), which started a lifelong friendship with co-star Roddy McDowall.Taylor worked out for months to win the role of Velvet Brown in National Velvet (1944), a project that years earlier had been planned for Katharine Hepburn. The critical and box-office success made it clear that Taylor was a very special child indeed.

Taylor's first grown-up roles were mainly built around her beauty. All she had to do was look good while Robert Taylor fought for her honor in Ivanhoe (1952) or Stewart Granger tried to make his fortune in Beau Brummell (1954). But the talents that had made National Velvet so successful were still there, waiting for the right vehicle. She found one such part when MGM loaned her to Paramount for A Place in the Sun (1951). Taylor realized how much she wanted to be respected as an actress,and such hints of a more mature approach to her work can be seen in Rhapsody (1954), in which she plays an heiress involved with the classical music world, and Elephant Walk (1954), as a plantation owner's wife torn between her husband and his plantation manager.The film made her more beautiful than ever, which may have blinded critics to the quality of her work.

Taylor took another stab at a Tennessee Williams adaptation, co-starring with Clift and Katharine Hepburn in Suddenly, Last Summer (1959). The film brought her third Oscar® nomination. 20th Century-Fox had offered her the title role in their epic Cleopatra (1963), prompting her to jokingly demand $1 million, the highest fee ever paid an actor at that time. When they compromised on $750,000 and a percentage, she couldn't say, "No." But she still owed MGM one more film. With no time to turn anything down, they stuck her in Butterfield 8 (1960), a turgid adaptation of John O'Hara's novel about a high-priced call girl. When the studio screened it for her, she threw a drink at the screen. Still, she gave a respectable performance and won her fourth Oscar® nomination in as many years.

The Sandpiper (1965), a turgid romance with bohemian artist Taylor falling for married priest Burton, and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966), are their best film together. Her searing performance brought her a second Oscar®, and this time she could feel that it was deserved.

When it came to her work with HIV/AIDS-related charities, including the American Foundation for AIDS Research, better known as amfAR, and her own Elizabeth Taylor HIV/AIDS Foundation, the actress was an unstoppable force committed to doing all she could to see the public educated about the realities of the disease.

Taylor took a major personal risk in speaking out on the issue of HIV/AIDS in the mid-1980s, long before then-President Ronald Reagan ever spoke on the issue and years before it became a fashionable cause to support.Dame Taylor was an icon not only in Hollywood, but in the LGBT community, where she worked to ensure that everyone was treated with the respect and dignity we all deserve.After her good friend Rock Hudson died from complications from AIDS, Taylor, alongside Dr. Michael S. Gottlieb, created the National AIDS Research Foundation in Los Angeles, which merged with the New York-based AIDS Medical Foundation in September 1985 to become amfAR, securing and raising funds for HIV/AIDS research, expanding access to care and treatment for all AIDS patients and protecting the civil rights of those living with the disease, and has raised nearly $325 million to fund its multifaceted mission.

Taylor testified before Congress to ensure Senate support for the Ryan White CARE Act of 1990, which continues to be a primary source of federal funding for HIV/AIDS programs nationwide, and in 1991, started The Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation to complement amfAR's work as well as provide more direct AIDS-related

Elizabeth Taylor the legendary actress died

2011-03-24T12:00:00.000-07:00

Elizabeth Taylor

The world mourns with the passing of Hollywood film legend and icon of beauty, Elizabeth Taylor - the violet-eyed film legend whose sultry screen persona, stormy personal life and enduring fame and glamour made her one of the last of the classic movie stars and a template for the modern celebrity. I first heard of this remarkable woman from my mom who used to tell me great things about her. That she was considered as the most beautiful woman of her time and that no other woman fits the role of the equally iconic woman Cleopatra other than the stunning Elizabeth.

As told by her son, Michael Wilding, ''My mother was an extraordinary woman who lived life to the fullest, with great passion, humor, and love. We know, quite simply, that the world is a better place for Mom having lived in it. Her legacy will never fade, her spirit will always be with us, and her love will live forever in our hearts."

Thank you Elizabeth for sharing to the world your extraordinary grace, unbelievable talent, and incomparable beauty. You taught us that beauty alone cannot stand on its own. It must be coupled with substance, the compassion to help, and perseverance to triumph against any adversities be it on a personal level or of public interest. Your legacy lives on.

Let us try to relive the colorful and intriguing life of this incredible human being named Elizabeth Taylor.

Melai Cantiveros Changes makes Jason Francisco Happy

2011-03-15T12:50:00.000-07:00

I am not a fan of these two persons who became famous after PBB although I saw some of the episode of this show a couple of years ago. Melai won the contest while Jason Francisco was third placer. The second place was Paul Jake Castillo from Cebu City and from a rich family. After the PBB Melai Contiveros and Jason Francisco became famous and they become a couple too. Melai is a natural comic lady while Jason is typical provincial lad.

Right now their relationship is going strong and also they have an afternoon show in ABS-CBN channel. Francisco is happy about Melai changes like how to make herself beautiful. He said that she is now aware and know hoe to apply make-up, straighten her hair and so on. He also happy that his girlfriend is still humble and down to earth even after they finished the PBB.

Here is the article about this taken from ABS-CBN website:

Ever since their Pinoy Big Brother Double Up stint, Jason Francisco and Melai Cantiveros’s relationship has been going strong, with the couple currently working together on the daily afternoon series Precious Hearts romances Presents: Mana Po. The 23-year-old actor from Mindoro admitted that he was nervous about headlining the show at first, but he gained more confidence after he did some preparations for it. “Siguro naman ready na kami kasi nag-workshop naman kami kaya medyo siguro nahinog din. Pinaghirapan naming ng todo para malabas namin yung gusto ng mga director,” he said.

Although he admitted that he misses working with her on other shows, Jason said they had to take a more serious approach when they started taping for PHR Presents: Mana Po. “Siyempre miss ko siya kasi dati ‘pag nasa Kokey or Banana Split set kami, nagkukulitan kami. Pero dito sa Mana Po, hindi na kami nagkukulitan kasi kailangan namin i-internalize sa sarili namin yung aming mga character kasi nawawala minsan. Kaya kami napapagalitan ng director tapos minsan nakakalimutan namin yung mga lines pagka-sobra na yung pagkukulitan namin. Minsan ‘di na lang kami nag-uusap para kami na yung iti-take, kailangan na namin mag-concentrate dun sa character namin kasi napakalayo nila dun sa aming totoong sarili. Masyadong madrama dito eh. Mahirap din yung mga English English at mag-pronounce kaya nakakahiya ‘pag nagkakamali,” he said.

Ever since they left PBB, Jason said he has noticed a lot of positive changes in his girlfriend. “Ang natuwa akong pagbabago niya is yung marunong na siya mag-ayos. Kasi dati hindi talaga yan nag-aayos sa sarili niya. Kahit anong gawin ko. Ngayon, marunong na siya mag-ayos, mag-makeup at manamit. Masaya ako dun kasi yun yung klase ng pagbabago na gusto ko eh. ‘Di ba ‘pag may girlfriend ka, ayaw mo naman na hindi maayos itsura? Dati kasi magulo yan sa buhok eh. Yung buhok niya gusto ko lagi maayos,” he explained.

But Jason clarified that this doesn’t mean he wants Melai to totally change how she looks. “Yung kulot siya, gusto ko. Eh ngayon, iba na yung buhok niya. Kasi lagi ng tinutuwid. Okay lang na ganun kasi kumukulot pa rin naman yan. Mamaya-maya kulot na ulit yun ‘pag nabasa,” he added.

When it comes to character, Jason said he is proud of how Melai did not let their growing fame inflate her ego. “Sasabihin ko naman sa kanya yung ganun, kung nag-iiba na siya eh. At saka ako pa naman yung tao na mapag-obserba. Kahit walang ginagawa, kahit nakatingin lang, siyempre hangga’t puwede, sasabihan ko siya. Kaya ko naman siya nagustuhan kasi hindi siya nagbabago. Siguro mahiwalayan ko lang siya ‘pag may nakita akong bagay na hindi na talaga siya yung pagkakakilala ko. Kumbaga nawala na ako sa buhay niya,” he admitted.

After recently giving Melai a ring for their anniversary, Jason is hopeful that their relationship will remain steadfast despite the intrigues that come with being in showbiz. “Sana lang. Sana mas maging stronger pa kami kasi napakahirap ng ating kinatatayuan na lugar. Medyo masikip ito. Alam nila lahat kaya magulo. Pero sana hanggang ngayon magiging matibay pa rin kami. Kasi one year na kami sa showbiz,” he said.

Sharon Cuneta Slams Hayden Kho Again over Marie France Billboard

2011-02-13T10:39:00.000-08:00

Sharon Cuneta did not cut off any words she said about the issue regarding her Marie France Billboard in EDSA last Sunday when she was interviewed in the Buzz. She and Hayden Kho have this quarrel about the later tweet regarding the billboard in EDSA which he said the advertiser is deceiving the consumers.

Sharon Cuneta react his tweeter and said that she will not entertain people who are stupid anyway. Cuneta said that she will not deceive people with her ads because she cared about her reputation as an actress and Marie France too as the company that she endorses. In fact she said that she will not endorse product that she don’t believe. She added that by doing it both her and Marie France will lost their credibility too.

Sharon said that God is her witness she they did not altered her picture in the billboard. She said that she has a weekly show and it will be very clear if they will doctor the billboard where she showed her healthy figure and the slim one.

Here is a part of the article about her and Hayden Kho from ABS-CBN:

She added: “Napakalayo ba ng itsura ko doon sa ‘after’ picture dito sa nakikita ninyo sa TV?”

According to Cuneta, she is picky when it comes to accepting endorsements and that when she endorses a product or service, “I have to believe in it.” She said she would never deceive the public.

She said endorsers are also made “to sign something [because] there has to be truth in advertising.”She also pointed out that all her photos were done by noted photographer Raymond Isaac, who is known for his ability and honesty.

“Walang dinaya doon. Bakit? Kasi po it's a series of billboard na lalabas over the coming several months, ‘yong progress ng weight loss ko… hanggang you reach the ideal weight para makita na it's working and it's gradual,” she said.“I can assure you, and God is my witness, those pictures are not altered to make me look thinner than I was at that time,” she added.

She said she is not surprised that her detractors are making up these controversies. “Let's just say, puwedeng competitor, puwede din na isang tao with an ax to grind…. Mahirap magsalita kasi ayokong pumatol sa isang hindi kapatol patol.”

Cuneta recently lambasted former celebrity doctor Hayden Kho after he allegedly took a swipe at her billboard on Twitter. Kho is the boyfriend of Dr. Vicki Belo, owner of the Belo Medical Clinic.

The target of her fury was this statement made by Kho last January 28: “There’s a billboard ad in EDSA developed by advertisers who think consumer are stupid. Guess. ”The megastar believes that Kho was referring to her controversial Marie France billboard.

Kho has already made a denial that he was referring to Cuneta’s billboard. Kho said Cuneta’s statement was “quite a wounding tirade from someone I respect. Ironic, really. Very ironic.”
Despite the denial, Kho is not yet off the hook as far as the megastar is concerned.

On Sunday, Cuneta said she got a piece of information saying that Kho, the central figure in the 2009 sex video scandal, was referring to the billboard of Joel Cruz of Aficionado Perfumes that came out in July 2010.

She wondered though why it took Kho 7 months to react to Cruz’s billboard. She also noted Kho’s timing. She said he made that post when rumors about plans to remove her billboard along EDSA began to circulate.

Cuneta also countered: “I don’t understand. What’s ironic is that he respects me and that I have to treat him like this? I don’t treat people in a bad way unless… I know how to protect myself. There are times na kailangang tahimik ka lang pero there are times na you have to stand and fight for yourself.”

During the interview, she also brought up the 2009 sex video scandal. Her daughter, KC Concepcion, was dragged into the scandal.

“If he respects me so much, bakit nadamay ang anak ko?” Cuneta said. “I think that time lagi niyang tinetext ang anak ko. I never said anything kasi alam ko ang totoo… although nakakainis ma-associate sa ganoong issue ang isang bata na alam mong pinalaki mo ng ubod ng disente.“

She also noted that it was “so convenient” for Kho not to name the billboard he was referring to, so that later on he could easily issue a denial when confronted.

Nonetheless, she thanked all her detractors because people are now talking about her billboard because of them. “Effective na effective ang endorsement. Parang nataranta kayong lahat ng bonggang-bonga.”

2011-02-10T21:44:00.000-08:00

Lindsay Lohan Plead not Guilty of Necklace Stealing

2011-02-09T22:18:00.000-08:00

Lindsay Lohan who was in controversy lately because of necklace stealing plead not guilty. The controversial actress who was became famous as a child actress via "Parent Trap" is dress in white while attending the small court hearing. If Lindsay Lohan is guilty she will be in prison for three years. The 24 years old "Mean Girl" actress was seen walking out from a jewelry store in Los Angeles lately wearing the necklace.

Friends believed that the necklace that Lohan was wearing loan by the actress. Right now the necklace was handed to the police. She with packed courtroom hearing was televised.

Here is the rest of the article:

Lohan, dressed in a long-sleeved white dress and looking calm, was expected to be released on bail, set at $20,000, later on Wednesday after being booked and photographed by court officials.

Wednesday's felony grand theft charge was the most serious allegation yet against the actress in more than three years of failed drug tests, brief spells in jail and missed court appearances.

"You are no different than anyone else, so please don't push your luck," judge Keith Schwartz told Lohan, saying the felony charge was different from previous charges against her because it is considered a more serious crime with greater punishment.

Lohan is still on probation for a 2007 drunk driving and cocaine possession offense that has halted her once promising Hollywood movie career. If convicted of the theft charge, she would also be in violation of probation, which would mean even more jail time for the troubled actress.

In early January, she completed a court-ordered three month stint in rehab and appeared to have renounced a former lifestyle that revolved around night clubs and partying.

Lohan also faces possible criminal charges for an alleged attack on a worker while in her recent rehab at the Betty Ford Center in southern California. That case is under review by prosecutors.

The actress made her name as an 11-year-old in the Disney movie "The Parent Trap" and went on to have hits with "Freaky Friday" and "Herbie Fully Loaded".

But her seemingly constant legal troubles have prevented Lohan from reviving her career. Her latest stint in rehab cost her the lead role in a planned movie about 1970s porn star Linda Lovelace. Her last movie, the action comedy "Machete" released in September 2010, made just $26.6 million at U.S. box offices.

Sharon Cuneta reacted over Hayden Kho tweet in which he said "There is a billboard Ad in EDSA develop by an advertisers who think that consumers are stupid. Guess." But later Hayden said that he did not mean it as the billboard of Sharon Cuneta. The mega star believed that Kho was referring to her ads which was criticized because it did not reflect the truth. Sharon insisted that she really lost 20 lbs and 7 inches waistline.

Sharon lambasted Kho who was in sex video scandal in 2009.

Here is what Sharon has said:

In her interview with Philippine Entertainment Portal (PEP)on Wednesday, Cuneta lambasted Kho, who was the central figure in the 2009 sex video scandal.
“Kung totoo ‘yon, ang kapal ng mukha niya," she told PEP. "Tapos, mambabastos siya? As far as I'm concerned, stupid people shouldn't comment on what is stupid or not.”
"If I may add to that: Decent people are [the only] people I would like to listen to. Not those who do not know the meaning of decency. And who treat women like they're nothing! Excuse me,” the megastar added.

But Hayden Kho was quick to say that he was not referring to Sharon Cuneta and her Marie France billboard.
“Wow. I wasn't referring to MF. I was referring to a certain L**D, that's supposed to be "LOURDES". Dahan dahan naman po, he tweeted.

Kho said Cuneta’s statement was “quite a wounding tirade from someone I respect. Ironic, really. Very ironic.” he tweeted.

Christina Aguilera Forgot some lines in National Anthem

2011-02-07T11:19:00.000-08:00

The star of "Burlesque" Christina Aguilera apologized for her mistake in singing the national anthem in Super Bowl. Well she is not alone because I have heard and witness many singers who forget some lines when they sing their national anthem. I think what is important is that you show love to your country not only by singing but doing things that will make your country proud.

The Burlesque star was given the prestigious task of performing the Star-Spangled Banner to open the proceedings ahead of the NFL showpiece game in Texas but shocked onlookers with her mistake.
Instead of the correct line “O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?” the 30-year-old singer repeated an earlier line with a slight variation, singing, “What so proudly we watched at the twilight’s last gleaming.”

Now Christina has released an apologetic statement saying, “I got so caught up in the moment of the song that I lost my place. I can only hope that everyone could feel my love for this country and that the true spirit of its anthem still came through.”

Johnny Depp Praises Penelope Cruz

2011-02-06T14:00:00.000-08:00

Johnny Depp was very happy when he learned that his friend Penelope Cruz has delivered a cute child courtesy from Javier Bardem. He considered Penelope Cruz as one of his best friend. He had worked with Penelope Cruz before in the film "Blow". Johnny Depp said that Penelope is a good actress and in fact this is true because Penelope is the first Spanish Actress to win an Oscar.

Penelope and Johnny will work again in a beautiful film which I am waiting the "The Pirates of the Caribbean: On stranger Tides". Penelope will play as Johnny love interest. I was thinking that the character Johnny playing in this film is Gay? Anyway this could be a hit movie again. I like Johnny playing Jack Sparrow.

Another development is that Johnny Depp will play Elvis Presley.

Here is the news that I read about Johnny Depp from Shobizspy:

JOHNNY Depp was thrilled when he found out Penelope Cruz would be starring alongside him in the upcomingPirates of the Caribbean movie — because she’s one of his best friends.
The actor — who plays Captain Jack Sparrow in the swashbuckling series of films — has known Cruz, who plays a character called Angelica, for several years.
“Oh yeah, she’s a serious force to be reckoned with, Penelope. We did a film together years ago called Blow — I could’ve said, ‘We did blow together years ago.’ That really would’ve made it,” Johnny said.

“Yeah so we did this film Blow together, which was wonderful, I mean she’s really a treat, she’s a heavy hitter. You can throw all kinds of stuff out there into the atmosphere and she’ll snatch up something and throw a curve ball back at you. It’s very stimulating, she’s someone I adore, one of my best friends, so yeah it’s been great having her.”

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides is due out later this year.
Recent reports claimed Depp wants to play Elvis Presley on the big screen.
“Johnny has always been fascinated by strong characters and inspirational people like Elvis,” reveals a source close to the actor.

“He is excited by the idea of a movie focusing on the dark side of Elvis and his later years as a superstar and an icon. It’s still early days but this is a project Johnny is very keen to get off the ground.”

James Franco might star as Oz

2011-02-05T11:12:00.000-08:00

James Franco is the latest contender for the Oz. The Oscar-nominated host of the Academy Awards is in early negotiation to star in "Oz, the Great and Powerful," Disney's prequel-ish take on "The Wizard of Oz" tale being directed by Sam Raimi.

The "Oz" role has been a hot one and was offered to Robert Downey Jr. two and a half weeks ago but he passed. It was also offered to Johnny Depp but he declined the offer last night.

Sam Raimi is signed on to direct the movie which tells the story of the young wizard, who is forced to flee a traveling circus but lands in Oz when his hot air balloon is swept up in a tornado. In the land of Oz, the illusionist is forced to compete with two witches for control.
But from acting pinned to a rock in "127 Hours" to a cameo as a drug lord in "Green Hornet" to his stint on the soap opera "General Hospital," Franco is showing he is not following anyone's playbook, but his own.

Sources caution that no dealmaking has begun and many issues would need to be ironed out, but if the stars align, Franco would be back working with Raimi for the first time since they collaborated on Sony's "Spider-Man" movies. At this stage, Franco hasn't met with Raimi to discuss the project.
While "Oz" doesn't have a start or release date, the production is a high priority for the studio, which hopes to start production in the second half of the year.

Piolo was happy over Noah Success

2011-02-05T10:46:00.000-08:00

Piolo Pascual was happy about the success of "Noah" where he played a lead character. I always watched this series which star Jodie Sta. Maria and Joem Bascon. Piolo thanks to his workmates because the series has ended and he knew that they will be parting each others. He also thanks to people who watched this series everyday until its finals airing.

The director Lino Cayetano also thanks everyone for watching the show.

Julia Roberts Now in Talks to Play Mean Queen in Brothers Grimm: Snow White

2011-02-04T05:16:00.000-08:00

Julia Roberts who star in "Eat Pray Love" will play as the wicked or Mean Queen in the movie "Snow White". Yes the pretty woman will play as mean for the first time. I saw her as a fairy in Peter Pan but I like her in "My Best Friend Wedding" together with Cameron Diaz. She won Oscar Award in "Erin Brockovich". A film about a strong woman who exposed chemical contamination versus the a multi-billion company.

There is another film about Snow White with Kristen Stewart as Snow White while the mean queen is Charlize Theron. I like Charlize Theron too because she is a good actress in her own right. She is also an Oscar winner as best actress in "Monster". I am thrill about Julia Roberts playing the mean queen because I never saw her playing bad character since she started as an actress.

Well may the best win.

"Nagpapasalamat po kami dahil sa suporta ng mga tao, sa walang sawang panonood nila sa 'Mara Clara'," Montes said in an interview during a press conference for "Mara Clara"'s book 2.
Montes and Bernardo's first TV project together continues to boom in ratings. Kantar Media's national ratings results showed that for the month of January, "Mara Clara" had a 29.9% average rating, maintaining its top spot among the most watched shows in the country.

On Monday, January 31, the show earned its highest national rating to date, 34.6%, against its rival program, which had a rating of 17.3%.

That Monday's episode was the revelation night when viewers found out that the real del Valle is Mara (Bernardo) and not Clara (Montes).

Another episode widely anticipated is that of the grand celebration for the 16th birthday of the real del Valle (Bernardo).

Mara will be given a big party for her 16th birthday where she will shine as she dances with more than 16 guys.

Lindsay Lohan may face criminal charge

2011-02-03T11:44:00.000-08:00

Lindsay Lohan will face six months in jail if proven guilty. She is accused of stealing a jewelry worth $2,500. If charges will be filed it means she violated her current probation in separate drunken case. Lindsay Lohan is a famous child actress who was in "Parent Trap" and had several cases including drug abuse and drinking.

Here the complete news about her taken from ABS-CBN:

LOS ANGELES – Prosecutors on Wednesday were considering whether to file charges against Lindsay Lohan following a police probe into whether the troubled actress stole a $2,500 necklace from a jewelry store.

If charges are filed, it would mean Lohan violated her current probation in a separate drunken driving case, and she could face a possible jail sentence of six months.
Police have submitted the case to Los Angeles prosecutors for possible criminal charges, said Sandi Gibbons, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office.
The necklace was taken on January 22 from a boutique in the beachside Los Angeles neighborhood of Venice, the Los Angeles Police Department said in a statement.
Surveillance video from the jewelry store shows Lohan wearing the necklace, according to media reports.

On Tuesday detectives obtained a search warrant for Lohan's Venice home, but before detectives arrived the necklace was returned to a police station.
An attorney for Lohan did not return calls for comment.

ohan recently completed a stay at the Betty Ford Center, in her fifth stint in rehab in three years, as a result of failing a drug test while on probation for a 2007 drunken driving and drug conviction.

Lindsay Lohan in December had a skirmish with a Betty Ford worker that resulted in a police investigation, but prosecutors have not filed charges in the case.
The 24 year-old former child star of movies such as "The Parent Trap" has seen her personal life go off-track since 2007 when was arrested twice for driving and drug offenses. That year she was
sentenced to one day in jail and placed on probation. In 2010, she twice spent time behind bars for violating probation.

Her career has fallen on hard times, too. Most recently, she lost a starring role in an upcoming movie about 1970s porn star Linda Lovelace due to her personal problems.

Robert Downey Jr. is out in "Oz"

2011-01-31T12:52:00.000-08:00

Robert Downey Jr.

Robert Downey Jr. will no longer be in "Oz: The Great and Powerful". The Disney is eying the handsome Johnny Depp to join. Right now Depp is busy with other film. If he is not busy and his schedule is free then most likely he will accept the offer.

Robert Downey Jr who was jailed because of drug related case is a good actor. He portrayed Charlie Chaplin and even got a nomination in Oscar a couple of years ago.

Here is the more news about this taken from CNN.

You'll probably still get to go off and see the Wizard of Oz, but he won’t be played by Robert Downey, Jr.

According to Hollywood Reporter, Downey has dropped out of Sam Raimi’s “Oz: The Great and the Powerful,” and Disney is hoping Johnny Depp will step in.

Raimi’s “Oz" tells the story of “a young illusionist” who, after being ejected from a traveling circus, gets swept off to Oz in a hot air balloon during a tornado. Of course, the land is already run by two magical witches.

The studio is aiming to begin production on the movie later this year, and whether Depp is up for it will depend largely on timing.

The 48-year-old actor, whose films "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" and "Rango" arrive in theaters this year, is scheduled to begin shooting Tim Burton’s “Dark Shadows” in the spring, not to mention that he’s also expected to play Tonto in Disney’s “Lone Ranger.”

Raimi's film, however, isn't the only "Wizard"-related production out there. There's also "Dorothy of Oz," a 3-D animated feature starring Lea Michele, Kristin Chenowith, Kelsey Grammer, Martin Short and Hugh Dancy that should arrive in 2012.

Oprah Winfrey has a Sister

2011-01-31T12:26:00.000-08:00

I just read last week that Oprah has a family secret. She said that she will reveal it in her show. Oprah who thought that her life is an open book but she got the bog shock in her life when she learned that she has a secret sister. Oprah tell it by herself because she doesn't want that the media will exploit this situation. Her sister Patricia was put up for adoption at birth but she longed for her foster mother. She spent much of her life in a foster care.

Here is the article about this news from CNN:

Oprah Winfrey revealed on her television show Monday morning that she has a half-sister she knew nothing about.

The sister, Patricia, had been kept a secret by Oprah's mother who put her up for adoption at birth.

"For the most part my life has been an open book," Oprah said. "I thought nothing could surprise me but I was wrong."

Winfrey said she chose to make the announcement herself so the media would not exploit it. Her sister, Patricia, spoke about being put up for adoption at birth, spent time in foster care and longed to be reunited with her foster mother.

By 17 she was a single mother, Patricia said, and six years later she had another child. When she was 20, she sought out information about her birth mother and then let it go until years later, Patricia said.

The agency contacted Patricia in 2007 with the news that her birth mother did not want to meet her on the same day she saw a local news story that had an interview with Oprah's mother which gave her information that matched up with what Patricia knew about her birth family.

"We realized that Oprah could be my sister," Patricia said.

Winfrey told her audience that it was true that Patricia was her sister. Patricia said she kept her family connection a secret after unsuccessfully trying to reach Oprah's mother, Vernita Lee.

Patricia tracked down Winfrey's niece who is the daughter of Oprah's other half-sister. The pair did a DNA test and it was revealed that they were indeed aunt and niece. That started the ball rolling with family members reaching out to Winfrey who eventually confirmed with her mother that the story was true.

Winfrey shared with the audience home video of her first meeting with her sister this past Thanksgiving Day when Winfrey and her partner Stedman Graham drove to Milwaukee to finally meet her sister.

Winfrey broke down a bit when expressing why she admires her half-sister so much. The talk show host said she has had so many people betray her since she became a celebrity and she was moved by the fact that Patricia kept the story secret.

"She never once thought to go to the press," Winfrey said. "She never once thought to sell this story."

Ironically, Winfrey also had another half-sister named Patricia who died in 2003. That sister was unable to overcome drug abuse and her resemblance to her new half-sister was noted often. Winfrey said she had placed that sister twice into rehab.

"For me, you are Pat on her very best day,” Winfrey said to her new half-sister. “You are who she wanted to be without the drugs.”

The pair sat down with their mother, Vernita Lee, and Oprah asked about her feelings learning about and being reunited with Patricia.

"I was so shocked to know that she was trying to get in touch with me," Lee said. "When I first heard about her, I wasn't afraid but I was a little leery."

Winfrey said she had an epiphany after leaving the meeting at her mother's house: that Lee has been unable to fully embrace her new daughter because she is still carrying the shame of what she had done.

"I would like to say to our mother, you can let that shame go," Winfrey said. "You can let that go."

Winfrey also said that she had a realization about her deceased sister Pat who had sold the story of Winfrey's out-of-wedlock pregnancy to the tabloids which caused a rift between them.

Winfrey said meeting her new half-sister helped her realize that her other sister going to the tabloids was actually beneficial.

"For the first time, I realized that was a gift to me," Winfrey said. "It was gift because it released me from my shame."

Winfrey asked Patricia what has been the most rewarding part of the journey for her.

"Getting my family," she said.

2011-01-30T09:19:00.000-08:00

Piolo Pascual and KC Concepcion

Just read in the Internet that Piolo Pascual and KC Concepcion are now into relationship. Piolo confessed that he courted KC for two years before she accepted him? Is this true or another gimmick for their new movie or TV show? Many people were happy about this news but some are laughing because until now the gossip about Piolo's questionable gender is still there. Anyway this is just a rumor and he did not accept nor deny it.

Here is the article about Piolo's Confession take from ABS-CBN:

Calls Megastar's daughter his 'princess'

MANILA, Philippines - Hunk actor Piolo Pascual on Sunday finally broke his silence on the real score between him and actress-TV host KC Concepcion.

Concepcion became his girlfriend on October 21 last year, he revealed.
"It took me 2 years (before she said yes). Tsaka na 'yung detalye. Basta that's one of the best days of my life. For the first time in more than 8 years, I'm getting into a relationship, a commitment. And I'm planning to keep it," he told The Buzz host Charlene Gonzales.

Asked about his term of endearment to Concepcion, Pascual said, "I call her my princess."

For months, Pascual and Concepcion have been mum on the status of their relationship, saying that they want to stay away from the "huzzles and buzzles" of showbiz.

Pascual, in particular, wanted to keep things private so as not to affect his 13-year-old son, Iñigo.

"The reason why I never admitted naman was because may pinoprotektahan ako. I have a son, ayaw mong magkaroon ng ibang reaction 'yung bata. He's only 13 years old," he explained.

He continued, "Mahirap talaga (for her) and I found it too unfair kasi siya lagi ang nagsasalita. So finally a couple of days ago I said na it's time for me to speak up...it's also my responsibility para she's not left in the dark, para hindi siya nahihirapang sumagot."

The hunk actor also apologized to Concepcion, "Sorry if it took me this long. It's a thorn off my chest, I must say."

'KC is taken'

Pascual said he also decided to announce his relationship with Concepcion so the latter's admirers would no longer consider courting the actress.

Among those rumored to have expressed interest in the Megadaughter are Azkals football player Phil Younghusband, actor Sam Milby apl.de.ap, the Filipino member of American hip hop group Black Eyed Peas.

"Para matigilan na rin 'yung mga nagpaparinig kay Kristina (laughs)," Pascual said.

He added, "I wouldn't want to watch another interview para may magsabi na may crush sa kanya or gustong makipag-date. I just want them to know that she's taken."

Pascual thanked Concepcion for "sticking it out with me" and for being "sobrang sobrang patient and understanding."

Asked if Concepcion is the woman he's willing to spend the rest of his life with, the hunk actor said, "Siguro di naman ako aamin nang ganito or magta-take ng risk kung sa tingin ko di ko siya gusto makasama habangbuhay."

Reactions

After the interview, Pascual went straight to Concepcion's dressing room and gave his girlfriend a big hug, according to Boy Abunda, one of the hosts of The Buzz.

"It had really been a struggle for KC. Kasi hindi madali sa babae na 'pag tinatanong na 'are you together' will say na 'no it shouldn't come from me," Abunda said.

The Buzz host Toni Gonzaga, for her part, announced that Pascual first proposed to Concepcion in September 21, 2010, but the actress-host wanted some time to think and traveled to Europe.

After a month, Concepcion said yes.

"Hindi dapat KC ang pangalan niya ngayon. Rapunzel. Haba ng hair, abot na sa labas ng studio," Gonzaga said in jest.

Concepcion, meanwhile, broke into tears upon knowing that they can finally make their relationship public.

"Ang dami-dami naming pinagdaanan ni PJ, kung alam niyo lang. He's a good guy, a really really good guy," she said.

She ended, "It was very sincere...Thank you, PJ, for being honest today."

Piolo Pascual

Piolo Pascual went to Sto. Tomas for it's 400 years anniversary as university in the Philippines. He went there with Charlene Gonzales who is also a Thomasian. Piolo Pascual, Charlene Gonzales, a Dominican priest and academician were modeled for the "QuattroMondial monument" in this oldest University in the Philippines.

Piolo said that he owed it to the university because if of this university he would not be an actor. The University opened the door for him.

They were chosen by the artist because of their quality. Charlene was also happy but her husband Aga is not able to come because of work. Although KC Concepcion is not with him but most of the question thrown towards him is about KC and their status. He was also asked about Phil Younghusband who said that he has a crush to KC but Piolo said that everyone is entitled to express their feeling. The last thing that Piolo express is that he is in love. When ask to whom? He said that is there other girl than KC?

Baron Geisler maintains innocence when Interviewed by Boy Abunda

2011-01-28T09:20:00.000-08:00

Baron Geisler

Baron Geisler denied that he touched Chery Pie Picache breasts when interviewed by Boy Abunda in the Buzz. It can be recall that Chery Pie Picache complained and reported Baron Geisler to the PAMI with her manager that Baron Geisler touched her breasts.

Baron was accused not only with Chery Pie Picache but by other women like Jasmin Kurdi, Julia Clarete and the daughter of William Martinez but all of these are denied by Geisler.

Here is the complete news taken from ABS-CBN:

MANILA, Philippines – Embattled actor Baron Geisler has sat down with “The Buzz” host Boy Abunda to answer all the controversies he is facing.

In the interview, Geisler vehemently denied allegations by veteran actress Cherry Pie Picache that he touched her breasts while doing a scene for television series “Noah.”
Geisler also maintained his innocence on the three other incidents of harassments leveled against him. Patricia Martinez, daughter of celebrity couple Yayo Aguila and William Martinez, charged him with unjust vexation in 2008.

Actress Yamien Kurdi also filed the same complaint in 2009.
It has also been reported that he harassed Julia Clarete, but the actress had never granted any media interview. Geisler denied harassing Clarete.

Geisler, however, admitted that he is alcoholic and that he is seeking help. “The Buzz” reported that a series of misfortunes – including his break-up with Jodi Sta. Maria – allegedly led the actor to turn to alcoholic beverages.

He also called on the public to forgive him and not to forget him when he is inside a rehabilitation facility for 3 months. He expressed to wish to revive his career when he gets out.

In light of the incident, the multi-awarded actor has been removed from "Noah."
The Professional Artist Management, Inc (PAMI), an organization of big and influential talent managers in the country, has called on its members to prohibit their talents from working with Geisler.

Below is Abunda’s interview with Geisler:
Boy Abunda - Sa lahat ng mga kasong na-involve ka, ito nga 'yong dalawang kaso mo kay Yasmien at Patricia, are you innocent?
Baron - Yes.
Boy: You are?
Baron: Yes. I have a question for you. People keep saying, 'So, sinungaling 'yong apat na babaeng yan?' Tito Boy, if you were a woman and I touched and I violated you, what would be your reaction? What would you do? Ohh, first thing you'd do, I'll sue you. What would you do?
Boy: Magagalit ako.
Baron: And then?
Boy: Sasampalin kita.
Baron: You'd make a scene, right?
Boy: It depends.
Baron: All four, no scenes. Puro diretso na i-ano ako. Why?
Boy: Okay, there are many ways of coping with abuse.
Baron: So, lahat sila pare-parehong...
Boy: What I'm trying to say is, is that what you're trying to say na lahat sila ay after thought ang pagpunta sa husgado?
Baron: I believe so. Why sa complaints nila ni wala man lang nagkaroon ng commotions? Kung totoo man, nagustuhan muna tsaka naisip na, 'Ay, nagalaw ako. Sige punta muna ako ng ano. Puwede pa lang kasuhan ito si Baron. Sige, kasuhan na natin.'
Doon ako galit. Kasi nagiging madali na lang para sa kanila na kasuhan ako o gawan ng ano... Eh, kung talagang may nangyaring ganyan, usually may pag-uusap yan eh. Hindi 'yong diretso na 'Yan si Baron, manyak.'
Boy: Why is this happening?
Baron: Because I'm an easy target. Because they think I'm drunk and stupid. I'm sorry for getting mad.
Alcohol problem
Boy: Baron, take me to that experience when you are drunk. Alam mo ba ang nangyayari, alam mo ba ang iyong ginagawa? Conscious ka ba na kapag nag-umpisa kang uminom, nababago ang iyong pagkatao?
Baron: Opo.
Boy: Ah, you are.
Baron: Kasi ang dami na pong pangyayari na nakakalimutan ko, sinasabi ng mga tao.
Boy: Naaalala mo ang mga nangyayari pag nalalasing ka?
Baron: May mga instances na black out pero depende po yan sa amount na nainom ko. Bumalik po tayo doon sa taping [ng Noah]. Noong taping na 'yon inaamin ko na uminom ako. From 3 in the afternoon hanggang 11 kasi ang call time po namin 3. So, I started, bumili po ako ng anim na can ng beer.
Boy: Baron ang tanong, was this the first time na nagreport ka sa isang set na nakainom or have you done this in the past?
Baron: I've done this.
Boy: But you are under control?
Baron: Under control. May parang masamang ugali rin ako na kailangang ayusin pag pasok ko doon sa facility na pupuntahan ko. 'Yong pagre-rebelde or parang minsan somehow nagiging parang mayabang.
On Picache's case
Boy: Itong nangyari sa inyo ni Pie, ano ba talaga ang totoo. Binastos mo ba talaga si Cherry Pie Picache.
Baron: Sa totoo lang ho, 'yong saloobin ko, nanay po siya, di ba? Kung kapamilya talaga ang turing din niya sa akin, 'yong mga bagay na ganito, kaya ako nagwala sa set after noon, kasi I apologized.
Siguro hindi na natanggap noong time na 'yon.
Boy: Pag katapos mangyari, nag-apologize ka?
Baron: Yeah. Twice. To tell you the truth, I was just doing my job. If she felt violated or offended with my actions...
Boy: Did she tell you that she was violated?
Baron: Yeah, she said.
Boy: And that's the reason you apologized?
Baron: Yeah. , she said and I apologized. Sabi ko, 'Naka-gloves po ako, wala po akong intensyon na hawakan po kayo.' Twice. In front of her. Then, I went out and... 'yon ang sinasabi nilang nagwala ako. Doon na ako nagmumura sa labas ng set.
Boy: Bakit nagmumura ka?
Baron: Kasi feeling ko na-push yong buttons ko din kasi everyone knows na may dalawa akong kaso about sexual harassment. And para sa akin talaga I didn't really intend to touch her boob. At lumalabas pa sa balita nilamas or dinakma. Paano mo gagawin sa eksena na mangdakma? Ang Sakit sa akin noon.
Boy: And nakainom ka lang, you weren't drunk?
Baron: Nakainom lang, I wasn't drunk. That is why for me ang sakit. Ang sakit but wala na akong choice.
Boy: But in spite of this, buong puso kang naga-apologize kay Pie?
Baron: Yes.
Boy: And you continue to apologize?
Baron: I feel sorry and I'm sorry if she really felt violated. I'm very sorry about that. But I will not apologize for touching her, sa taas.
Boy: Was it required by the role? Was it provided in the script that you were supposed to touch her boobs?
Baron: No, no,I didn't touch her boobs.Sorry, sorry...
(He then got up from his seat and reenacted the scene)

PAMI
Baron: Nagalit po ako, bilang tao, walang plastikan, bilang tao, of course. Parang why? Were you there when it happened? Did you investigate? Did you ask the cameramen? Did you ask these people? No. But I don't care anymore. If you don't need the evidence, that's fine.
To me, right now, I don't care about yong gulo. Right now, I want to concentrate on myself, on my family, my relationships with my brothers and sisters. Kasi I think doon magsisimula sa bahay po.

Boy: Is that the reason why it was very difficult for you to apologize... very difficult for you to do the public apology, the No. 3 requirement of PAMI?
Baron: Yeah, it was very difficult for me. Kasi for me, I do not owe anyone sa labas in public to know if I'm sorry or not. Bakit hindi na lang inayos noong kami kami na lang. I think that is more human.
Boy: Hindi mo binastos si Cherry Pie?
Baron: Hindi po pero naga-apologize po ako kung naramdaman niyang na-violate po siya kasi I respect her like a mother.
Rehab
Baron: PAMI is doing me a really big favor. It's a win-win situation because they are helping me to get better. After that, my career is going to get better.
Boy: Baron, I just want to get back to four cases kasi I listen to you, I hear you out. Di ba, may kasabihan tayo mga tao lang tayo... Ito ang pananaw ng iba, bakit dalawa, tatlo, apat. Can they all be wrong?
Baron: Hindi naman po. I'm not saying that they are wrong.
Boy: Or maniac? It came from you. When people say that?
Baron: Is it okay I'm getting mad. I think it's disrespectful.
Boy: No, no not disrespectful. You are expressing an honest opinion, Baron. So, when people tagged you as maniac, what does that make you?
Baron: It takes away every inch of my backbone. It ruins my bearing. And it makes me feel less of a man.
Full responsibility
Boy: Has show business been unfair to Baron?
Baron: No, Baron Geisler has been unfair to Baron Geisler.
Boy: So that means, you take full responsibility?
Baron: Yes.

Family support
Baron: I just love them (family) so much.
Boy: Yeah, like mom? What do you say to her?
Baron: Right now, everything's good. I was with her kanina, sa doctor. Sinabi nga niya sa doctor na, 'You know, I'm very happy kasi when Baron's sober. But when he drinks...' Doon talaga siya sobrang disappointed kasi when I'm okay, kunwari one month straight hindi ako umiinom, sobrang happy niyan. So whenever, I drink again, nagiging dysfunctional ang relationship namin.
Boy: You put them into so much emotional stress?
Baron: I know that that's why I'm seeking help.
Boy: Are you sorry?
Baron: Of course... but I believe that ang mga bagay na ganito, there are times na a mom would know her son very well. And she will stick with her son.
Boy: Where do you go from here?
Baron: I hope after I heal myself and I really learn from it. And choose life over the bottle and just drop it, I wish, I pray that I walk the talk and I'll leave it up to Him to take care of me.
Ang hinihiling ko lang, sama after everything, after disgrace both sa showbiz sa family, passion ko talaga ang acting, sana hindi mawala sa akin. Sana tanggapin pa din ako ng mga tao, ng industriya. At tanggapin nila ako ng buong buo sa pagbabago.
Mahal na mahal ko ang industriya.
And I want to thank you, ABS-CBN, ilang chances na ako.
Boy: I think, hindi lamang ako, but the industry sees the brilliance, the passion of Baron Geisler as an actor.
Baron: Nahihiya na nga ako, Tito Boy, nakakapalan na ako sa sarili ko. So, sa lahat ng nangyari, tama lahat ng plano ni God. Papasok ako sa rehab and siguro think things over. Where did I go wrong? What should I do to improve?
Boy: And it's going to be good for you. How long is the rehab?
Baron: Three months... I'm just thanking everybody for understanding. ABS, thank you, thank you, Tito Boy, for not judging me. And sorry, sorry talaga. I feel sorry for myself. I'll just take care of muyself and love myself some more.

Baron's prayer
Boy: If I were to listen to a prayer now, paano magdasal ang Baron Geisler?
Baron: There's this one phrase that Ate Garlic said. I was broken after the incident, I have been broken even before the incident. Pero she said something to me.But she said something to me. Sabi niya, 'God breaks you to make you.' After that, boom,bumuo na ako. And I said wala na akong pakialam. Hindi ko muna iisipin yong career o yong anong mangyayari after rehab. I'm just going to take care of myself and really get better. I'm sorry (breaks down). I've been emotional lately.

After hearing that line, I just felt whole again. Panandalian lang itong nangyayari... I'll be my greater self when I get out.
Boy: If dad is alive, what would you tell him? (Geisler's dad died in 2002)
Baron: I just miss you.
Boy: What do you want to tell to the public?
Baron: Sana mapatawad nila ako at sana huwag ninyo akong kalimutan kasi ho dito sa industriya natin mawala ka lang ng isang buwan, dalawang buwan nakakalimutan ka na. Eh ako tatlong buwan, natatakot din ako.

2011-01-28T06:14:00.000-08:00

Many Charice fans were angry because of what Ogie Diaz said about Charice. He said that Charice is ugly in his twitter. Charice mother come to the rescue of her daughter and said that Ogie and others could not blame the fans of Charice who are angry because of what Ogie said. Ogie Diaz said that Charice is acting like a foreign celebrity and she is very ugly using her glasses.

Chaster vow to boycott Ogie's show even if he asked for apology. Ogie said that he would personally apologize to Charice if they will meet. He delete his comments on his twitter. He has more than 94,000 followers.

Here is the complete article from ABS-CBN:

MANILA, Philippines - Ms. Raquel Pempengco, mother of international singing sensation Charice, on Thursday said her daughter's fans should not be blamed for being angry with entertainment journalist-host Ogie Diaz.
In a message sent to abs-cbnNEWS.com, Mrs. Pempengco said Diaz cannot do anything if the "Chasters" get mad at him because of what he said against Charice.
“You cannot blame all Charice fans, especially ‘Chasters’, to speak out what’s in their mind against you Ogie D....You cannot blame them if they won’t accept your apology because of what you did to their idol.
"Because as you said ‘Ogie Diaz,’ they have their own opinion and that’s their opinion too...," Charice's mom said.
Diaz has drawn flak from Charice Pempengco fans, known as the Chasters, after he made several negative comments against the singer.

Diaz has apologized to the 18-year-old singer and her fans for saying that the singer's nerdy glasses "looks ugly on her." He also said sorry for saying that the “Pyramid" singer was “acting like a foreign artist” in the Philippines.

Charice drew flak from the entertainment press for reportedly snubbing them after the “1@11” concert at SM Mall of Asia.

Fans of the pint-sized chanteuse, collectively called the Chasters, lashed back at Diaz and vowed to boycott all his projects.
Diaz: I've already apologized

In a separate interview, Diaz maintained that he is still sorry if his opinions hurt or offended anyone but stressed that he already did his part to do what was right.
"I've done my part as a person to apologize. Kung ayaw pa din nila akong patawarin wala akong magagawa kasi opinion nila 'yon. Ako, ang point ko lang ay sinabi ko kung ano lang ang opinion ko," Diaz said.

Diaz, host of “Entertainment Live,” also denied making harsh comments against Charice’s mom. His denial came after his own mother became the target of harsh comments because of what he said against the young singer.

"Ang importante sa akin ngayon ay ang magandang relasyon ko sa sarili kong ina. Sa mga fan na galit pa din dahil sa opinion ko eh pakiyakap ang mga mommy nila para sa akin dahil naging mabuti silang anak," he said.

Diaz acknowledged that his public apology is not enough. He said he will personally apologize to Charice once they see each other.
Diaz already deleted all his tweets regarding the singer. He has more than 94,000 followers on Twitter.

Kristen Stewart to Play Snow white?

2011-01-27T11:36:00.000-08:00

Kristen Stewart who is a lead actress in "The Twilight Saga: Breaking dawn" will star in another thriller movie "Snow White and the Huntsman". Right now she is still filming the vampire and werewolves movie so she did not give a yes answer.

Here is the complete news about Kristen Stewart from CNN:

Sure, Kristen Stewart can hold her own against vampires and werewolves, but poison apples? We may soon find out, as rumors swirl that the "Twilight" actress is in talks to star in the upcoming thriller "Snow White and the Huntsman."

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Universal has screen tested up-and-comers such as Riley Keough ("The Runaways") and Emily Browning ("Sucker Punch") for the lead in the live-action fairy tale, but is keen on having Stewart, 20, play the damsel in distress.

Though the studio is trying to woo Stewart, she's been shooting the last "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn" film and has not yet committed to the project.

Meanwhile, Viggo Mortensen is reportedly in negotiations to play "Snow White's" titular huntsman, who is the focus of the movie and protects Snow White from the evil queen. Charlize Theron is currently the favorite to play that role.

Coincidentally, Julia Roberts is also set to play the evil queen in a rival film, "The Brothers Grimm: Snow White."

Oscar Nominations: Who was snubbed?

2011-01-27T11:12:00.000-08:00

The nominations for Oscar Awards that will be shown live on the last week of February are already released a week ago.

The "King Speech"was nominated for 12 awards that include best actor category. "Social Network" is nominated 8 times but not for actors and many people are not surprised. Here are the list of Nominees for 83rd Academy Awards:

Even if the list of nominees are good but there are people or film that are left in the dust. Almost everyone were surprised about the exclusion of Mark Wahlberg in the "The Fighter because some of his co-stars where nominated for supporting categories. Ryan Gosling was also excluded but Michelle Williams was nominated as Best Actress in "Blue Valentine". Paul Diamatti who won best actor in Golden Globe was also left out.

Among the actresses are Mila kunis and Barbara Hershey were missing as best supporting actress nominees. They are good in "Black Swan". Julia Moore who is also good in "the kids are alright" although she might compete Annette Bening. This Annette Bening is nominated many times but never won an Oscar.

This leads to the question of another possible snub - do you think Oscar winner Halle Berry should have gotten a nod for her "Frankie & Alice" role (the same one that earned the actress a Golden Globe nod in the best actress category)?

KC Concepcion on Piolo Pascual

2011-01-27T10:43:00.000-08:00

KC and Piolo

After coming from Uganda as a UN ambassadress KC was asked by reporters about her and Piolo Pascual but she said that it is better to ask the later about them because she said that she is always in the hot seat. KC is not vocal about their rumored relationship. KC said that it was her mum Sharon Cuneta who was always in contact with her while she was in Uganda.

KC said that it is better to ask Piolo because a relationship or friendship must come from both person not just one.
Here is the complete News about her from Push:

Ambassador for the World Food Program (WFP) KC Concepcion kept mum about her rumored sweetheart Piolo Pascual’s reaction to her meaningful yet risky mission to Uganda last week. She also refused to disclose whether they had the chance to meet after her trip. Clearly, the young actress is sticking to her resolution to keep a low profile when it comes to her relationship with the country’s ultimate heartthrob. “Siya na lang kaya tanungin ni’yo [kung paano niya ako winelcome pagbalik ko dito sa Manila]. Tignan natin kung anong sagot niya dun,” she said in an interview with ABS-CBN reporters yesterday, January 26.

According to KC, it doesn’t feel right for her to be in the hot seat most of the time. “Parang siguro bilang host din ako, and may talk show ako, nagkakataon na ako lagi yung tinatanong at ako lagi yung nakakasagot ng mga tanong dahil ako yung nakakausap at nakikita ninyo, habang siya nasa Subic nagte-taping sa Noah.” She further explained that it would be nice if people would know Piolo’s side of the story as well. “Maganda din siguro na a friendship or a relationship between two people is between two people, not just one. Maganda rin na ma-remind siya at ma-remind kayo na hindi lang ako ang nasa friendship na ’to.”

In the meantime, she clarified that it was her mom Sharon Cuneta with whom she was in constant communication during her stay in Uganda. “With my mom bilang mommy ko naman siya, dahil siya ang may karapatan malaman kung nasaan ako.”

As for her continuous efforts to help WFP’s fight against hunger in the Philippines, KC Concepcion invited everyone to support her online charity auction, KC’s Closet, which has already raised over a hundred thousand pesos for the past two weeks. The luxury items which are currently available include several Louis Vuitton bags and designer gowns which KC wore in various celebrity functions.

Piolo Pascual wants to be taken seriously as a singer

2011-01-27T10:24:00.000-08:00

Piolo Pascual

Piolo Pascual is not only an actor but a singer too. I like his voice and love his music although some of them are revivals. Piolo Pascual will serenade his fans this coming February 14, 2011 together with Ryan Cayabyab. The show is entitle "Piolo meets the Maestro Ryan Cayabyab". The heartthrob will be sing the ballad arrangement of Ryan.

Piolo Pascual is thankful because after these years his fans are still there. He sings in the Philippines and abroad and released album almost every year. He said that want to be a serious singer too.

Here is the complete article about this taken from Push:

Piolo Pascual is set to serenade his fans this Valentine’s Day at his major concert entitled Piolo meets the Maestro Ryan Cayabyab on February 14 at the PICC Plenary Hall. The Ultimate Heartthrob will be performing some of the most loved ballads arranged by renowned composer/musician Ryan Cayabyab. Piolo said he is just thankful that in the years that he’s been doing concerts here and abroad and releasing studio albums, the support of his fans has remained unwavering. “I’ve just released my seventh album. Halos every year yata nagre-release ako ng album. Modesty aside, naging okay naman ‘yung response ng tao. Siguro I’ve been more exposed abroad. Average of four or five shows ang ginagawa ko abroad in a year. Ten years na akong nagto-tour abroad.”

Piolo started out in showbiz as an actor/model. It was only in the early 2000s after he became a mainstay on the musical variety show ASAP did he discover that he could actually sing. Together with his then all male group The Hunks which included Diether Ocampo, Jericho Rosales, Carlos Agassi, and Bernard Palanca, he would do concerts around the country and other parts of the globe, which were all sold-out events. Piolo continued his venture into music by recording one album after another.

But does Piolo really want to be taken seriously as a singer, or is music just a pastime he enjoys doing on the side? He explained that given the massive support from fans for his albums and concerts over the past years, he will continue to take music very seriously. “I’m more known as an actor but with the chance that I’m given, to perform live in front of people, I don’t want to limit myself. If I can sing in ASAP and in shows abroad, I’ll do what I can do. I’ll do what I feel is best for me. I can’t say how I want to be viewed in terms of music. But I’ll keep doing this as long as there are producers out there who want me to do an album or a concert and of course people who want to listen and watch me.”

However, Maestro Ryan pointed out one obstacle that his hindering Piolo from proving to the public that he can really sing. Based on Ryan’s experience doing concerts with Piolo Pascual in the past, the audience, most especially the ladies, would rather swoon over the handsome man than listen to his voice. “Ang hirap kasi sa mga artistang katulad ni Piolo, paglabas pa lang sa stage, magtitilian na lahat ng tao. Wala ka nang maririnig sa kanta kasi puro tilian na lang hanggang matapos ‘yung show. All the ladies umaakyat na ng stage para magpa-picture. We’re talking about seven thousand people. Dati nga nakita ko ‘yung expression sa mukha ni Piolo, ‘Mr. C, itutuloy pa ba natin ito?’ So, I want to present him as a singer-performer. Gusto ko makita talaga ng mga tao ang talent niya sa performing.”

Piolo Pascual Reacts to Phil Younghusband's crush on KC

2011-01-27T10:06:00.000-08:00

Piolo Pascual was asked about his opinion with regards to Askal's Phil Younghusband feeling towards KC Concepcion during the Showbiz News Ngayon. He said that he has nothing against his feeling because everyone is entitled to his own feeling. We all know that Piolo and KC are closed to each other but none of them said that they are officially a couple.

Piolo Pascual was also asked by some reporters about his opinion regarding the kissing scene of KC and Sam Milby. But he said that they can do it because she is an actress and it is a part of work. KC on the other hand affirmed what Piolo had said.

Piolo and KC has done "Love in Paris" before together with Zanjoe Marudo.

Here is the news about this taken from ABS-CBN:

MANILA, Philippines – Hunk actor Piolo Pascual has given his reaction to Azkals heartthrob Phil Younghusband's public declaration that he has a crush on actress KC Concepcion.
In an interview with “Showbiz News Ngayon” during the unveiling of the QuattroMondial monument at the University of Sto. Tomas on Thusday, Pascual disclosed that he does not have anything against Younghusband since anybody is entitled to his or her own feelings.
“I guess anybody is entitled to that. Hindi naman mapipigilan ang mga tao to express their intention or say what they feel. May security naman so wala tayong problema,” he said.
Although they never admitted that they are officially a couple, Pascual and Concepcion have been vocal about their closeness.

Piolo Pascual, meanwhile, belied reports saying that he is prohibiting Concepcion from doing a kissing scene with actor Sam Milby in their upcoming movie.
“That’s work. She can do anything. She’s an actress,” he said.
Concepcion, on the other hand, affirmed what Pascual said.
“I don’t think that’s true. Very dedicated si Piolo sa work niya bilang aktor. Bakit niya kailangan ma-affect. Si PJ pa, napakasensible na tao,” she said.
Concepcion and Milby are set to do a movie under the direction of Cathy Garcia-Molina.

2011-01-27T00:26:00.000-08:00

Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem

Penelope Cruz is one of my favorite actresses of all time. I first saw her in "Belle Epoque" in 1994 when this film won best foreign film category in Oscar. She was young then and very beautiful little did I know that she will become one of the best and known actress in the world. She was also linked to Tom Cruise and did "Vanilla Sky" which was a repeat for her because she did it already this film in Spain with Eduardo Noriega. Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem met each other when they did "Jamon! Jamon!" in 1992. There last film was in 2008 "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" in which Penelope Cruz won best supporting actress in academy awards or Oscar.

Here is the complete news about her and Javier from ABS-CBN:

MADRID - Oscar-winning Spanish film stars Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem have become the parents of a baby boy, their first child, born in Los Angeles, Spanish media reported Wednesday.
Cruz gave birth at the Cedars Sinai medical centre in Beverly Hills on Saturday, the Spanish celebrity magazine Hola! said on its website.

It gave no details on the name of the boy or his birth weight.
The birth came just three days before Bardem received his third Academy Award nomination, for his performance in the film "Biutiful" by Mexican director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu.
Cruz, 36, and Bardem, 41, met when they starred opposite each other as lusty teens in the Spanish film "Jamon, Jamon," back in 1992.

In 2008 they were back together on the silver screen in Woody Allen's "Vicky Cristina Barcelona", for which Cruz won an Academy Award as best supporting actress.
The couple married in July last year at a ceremony in the Bahamas.
Bardem, also nominated for an Oscar in "Before Night Falls" (2000), won an Academy Award in 2007 for his role in "No Country for Old Men."

Spain's leading daily, El Pais, also reported the couple had become parents but did not provide details as to when the baby was born or whether it was a boy or a girl.
It said "friends of Bardem began to suspect (the baby was born) when the actor did not respond to any calls to congratulate him on his (Oscar) nomination."

"The couple want to have as much privacy as possible," the paper said on its website, quoting family sources.
The agency representing the couple in Spain declined to comment on the reports.
The actors had kept their romance quiet for years, but Bardem got personal when he won a best actor award at Cannes film festival in May for his role in "Biutiful."
"I share the joy of this prize with my friend, my companion, my love, Penelope Cruz," Bardem said at the time.
"I owe you so much, and I love you very much," Bardem said, drawing tears from Cruz, a longtime muse of Spanish director Pedro Almodovar.

Hola! said Cruz's mother, Encarna, sister Monica, also an actress, and her brother Eduardo were in Los Angeles for the birth at Cedars Sinai, the hospital of choice for Hollywood stars.
It said Bardem's mother, well-known Spanish actress Pilar Bardem, traveled from Madrid on Monday to meet her grandson.

Why Binibining Pilipinas Lost the Miss World Franchise?

2011-01-25T12:59:00.000-08:00

We all knew that the Bb. Pilipinas will no longer select a candidate for Miss World because Julia Morley award it to Cory Quirino the wellness Guru. Miss World 2011 Miss Alexandria Mills and her runner up with Chairwoman of the board Julia Morley is here in the Philippines to personally award the franchise to Miss Cory Quirino. Ruffa Guiterez and Evangeline Pascual was also present during the ceremony in Shang-rila .

Here is an article that said why Morley want her pageant to be separated from Binibining Pilipinas:

A separate Miss World-Philippines search
By Patricia Esteves (The Philippine Star) Updated January 26, 2011 12:00 AM Comments (0)

MANILA, Philippines - Starting this year, a Bb. Pilipinas-World crown will no longer be among the top three plums in the iconic Bb. Pilipinas pageant. There will be a separate search for Miss World Philippines, the winner of which will represent the country in the Miss World contest.

Julia Morley, chairman and CEO of Miss World Limited, arrived on Monday to announce the awarding of the exclusive licensee agreement of Miss World Philippines to media personality and wellness guru Cory Quirino who will take charge of the first Miss World Philippines tilt this August.

In a press conference at the Shangri-La Makati yesterday, Morley said they made the move so they can focus on their socio-civic projects and raise more funds for poor beneficiaries in the Philippines, particularly the PGH Medical Foundation and Tuloy Street Children Foundation.

“The job of Miss World is always for fund-raising. The crown is a symbol of fund-raising. Our aim, our vision at Miss World is always ‘Beauty with a Purpose.’ What is a crown without a purpose?’” explained Morley who is in Manila for the first time since Miss World was established in 1951.

Also present at the presscon were reigning Miss World Alexandria Mills (of USA), 2010 Miss World first runner-up Emma Wareus, 1973 Miss World first runner-up Evangeline Pascual and 1993 Miss World Second Princess Ruffa Gutierrez.

Morley clarified that she has no intention to offend or rile Madame Stella Marquez Araneta, head of the Binibining Pilipinas Charities Inc. (BPCI) in the decision to hold an individual Miss World contest. She reiterated that her primary reason to separate is to focus more on their vision to raise funds for their beneficiaries and they can do this if they hold a separate contest.

2010 Miss World Alexandria Mills (of USA): Beauty with a purpose “The truth is I needed to give the Philippines as many opportunities. We need to raise funds for poor and sick at the PGH for their ventilation, the antibiotics, more medical equipment. The thing is I want to be involved. I can’t do that if we don’t have an individual contest. I don’t have a voice here before and now I want to be involved, I want to be connected. We have big plans to raise money for the children,” said Morley.

She said her heart bled when she paid a visit to the PGH and saw the miserable conditions of the children, particularly a scene when a nurse was operating a manual ventilator to an asthma patient.

“The thing is I don’t want to battle with anyone. This is not a fight, there is no dispute. We will always honor other beauty contests. I know that during the time that Stella ran the tilt with Miss World, she’s done a good job. But now, I would like to have my own contest so I can be more involved. I want my own brand and not be lumped with other people. I want to stand alone for Filipino children.”

She expressed hope that Madame Araneta will not take offense.

“She has three or four titles and if she’s got one less to worry about, then it’d be good. I don’t want to be childish or selfish. There are too many nasty things in the world. Being negative is not good for the people.”Morley also said the awarding of the license was a highlight of her world tour, calling it a momentous occasion for Miss World organizers.

The organization is currently celebrating its 60thyear of “Beauty with a Purpose” and has raised more than $400M in support of children’s charities across the globe since its inception.

“The Philippines is a great country and has the most beautiful places so we’d be excited if we can hold it here,” she said.

Quirino, for her part, said accepting the offer was the greatest decision of her life.

“We are entering into a new era of pageants, in keeping with our mission and values. With more than 15 years as an officer serving Rotary International Districts 3818 and 3830, I have found the focus on community development by the organizers of Miss World congruent with my continuing advocacies,” Quirino said. “It’s my commitment to be a catalyst for women and children’s health, development and empowerment. Socio-civic undertakings will be a core activity of Miss World Philippines.”

Applicants to the Miss World Philippines must be 17 to 24 years old, tall, has a big heart for service, has beauty, intelligence and love for her country.

Nag-enroll siya sa Masters School for Models at dito siya natuto ng wastong paglalakad at body posture.

Ang mga mentor ni Danica ang nagkumbinsi sa kanya na sumali sa Supermodel of the Philippines contest noong nakaraang taon at siya ang pinalad na manalo. Kasali rin sa contest ang kanyang kapatid na si Danielle.

Baron Geisler Touched Chery Pie Picache Breasts

2011-01-21T04:40:00.000-08:00

Baron Geisler is now on the hot seat for touching Chery Pie Picache breasts. This is not new to Baron which was accused by many girls like the daughter of William Martinez, Julia Clarete and even Jasmin Kurdi, the culprit is the liquor. When Baron is not drunk or intoxicated he is gentleman as other leading ladies said. Some people said that this is his way so that she will be the talk of the town and he will get more offer. Whatever his intention, he should stop doing this and respect other actors.

Right now he still has a case and hearing in Bulacan regarding Jasmin Kurdi case. He maintained his innocence and said that he will not ask apology to Kurdi. Right now he apologized to Chery Pie who file case against him in PAMI which is a government for local artists in the Philippines. I hope he will enter in rehab to stop his mistakes.

Sharon Cuneta is Marie France Endorser

2011-01-21T04:19:00.000-08:00

Sharon Cuneta, the MegaStar in the Philippines is now the model of Marie France slimming salon. After so many news about her lately she accept the offer from Marie France rejecting calayaan and belo who by the way courted her for so long. I do not know what is the reason but good for her because Marie France is the one who made Dawn Zulueta sexy again before she became pregnant with her second child.

Sharon Cuneta is problematic with her obesity body that she tried many ways to loss weight but again she still back to being fat and fatter. Some of her project were dissolved because actors refused to pair with her. Take the case of Aga. Sharon even if we know one of the most successful artist in her time with lots of money afraid to try liposuction which is used by many actors today to look good. Will she be able to maintain her weight or lost more weight when right now she is endorsing Marie France? That is the big question that we will wait.

Another thing maybe is because of her new show "The Biggest Loser" which will start this year 2011. Many speculation that she did it because she want to promote her new show.

Natalie Portman in Black Swan

2011-01-21T03:49:00.000-08:00

I just watch the trailer in youtube about Black Swan. Many people are giving good review about this film and I can't wait to see it in the big Screen. By the way Natalie Portman won best actress in comedy category portraying the main character in Black Swan. The movie about a young ballet dancer Nina Sayers which develop a paranoia. Portman did a rigorous training as a ballerina and used a method way of acting to portray as a ballet dancer in this film. By the way my favorite actress Winona Ryder is also staring in this psycho trailer film as a deposed prima ballerina name Beth while her arc rival in this film is portrayed by Mila Kunis.

Here is a complete article about Natalie Portman in Black Swan from CNN:

(CNN) -- Living a role for a movie is hard work -- living the physically punishing life of a ballet dancer is even harder. But it's worth it when you get awarded with a Golden Globe for your efforts.
Actress Natalie Portman -- who Sunday won a Golden Globe for her performance in Darren Aronofsky's "Black Swan" -- went method for her role as tortured ballerina Nina Sayers.
Though at a press conference in London she said she was more of a "pleasure-seeker" than a "self-punisher," Portman described the grueling training she underwent for the film, and how mid-way through shooting the film she suffered a dislocated rib.
"We were doing five hours a day of training that was three hours of ballet and then we would swim a mile and tone for two hours," Portman said.
"You really understand the discipline, the rigor, the willingness to work through physical pain," she explained of the physical demands on ballet dancers.
Not only did she have to train as a ballerina, she also had to embody the friable emotional state of a young girl cracking under pressure.
"I think the really tricky part was balancing the physical with the emotion," she said.
You really understand the discipline, the rigor, the willingness to work through physical pain
--Natalie Portman
"You know, my mouth would be hanging open or you'd have your concentration face, which is all sort of furrowed. Half the time, they'd be trying to get me not to have my tongue sticking out. Then to add to that, OK, I have to be acting in the scene."
"Black Swan" is set in a fictional New York ballet company, where highly strung young women battle it out for star roles. Portman plays a corps dancer given the role of a lifetime: that of the Princess Odette in Tchaikovsky's classic ballet, Swan Lake.
But not only does her character have to portray the good princess Odette, who is turned into a swan by an evil sorcerer; she also plays the sorcerer's daughter Odile, the black swan of the film's title.
Dancing as the two swans proves psychologically unsettling for Sayers, a good girl required to turn bad for the role of Odile. She is goaded by the ballet company director (played by French actor Vincent Cassel) into exploring her dark side for the role.
Faced with competition from ballerina Lily (played by Mila Kunis), and deposed prima ballerina Beth (played by Winona Ryder), Portman's character is increasingly wracked with paranoia.
Portman explained that she was drawn to the world of ballet, which she sees as "a particularly female art form that is still dominated by men," because she wanted to represent the "larger world of women, you know, where one woman gets too old, or out of shape, and there's a younger woman that's going to be slipped into her place."
Exploring that world is fitting for an actress used to working in Hollywood since childhood.
Portman was born in 1981 in Jerusalem and moved to America soon after. She made her acting debut in 1994 as Mathilda Luc Besson's film "Leon," about the relationship between a young girl and a hit man.
Since then, she has played Queen Amidala in George Lucas' big-budget "Star Wars" prequels, and was nominated for an Academy Award in 2005 for her performance in the film "Closer."
Just to see people engaging so passionately about it is your greatest dream while making a movie.

Portman, now 29, said she was pleased to have had the experience of her 20's before embarking on the demanding role of Nina. She likens her experience as a child actress to that of her character in "Black Swan."
"I started as a child actress and you just sort of want to make people happy and it's almost like that pageant thing where you see the little kids doing their dance or whatever and then look around away to their mom, like, 'How did I do?'" Portman said.
She continued: "And to get to a point where you are really trying to make yourself happy and trying to fulfil yourself through your performance is a whole new experience, and I really gained that in my 20s and it gave me a perspective that really helped with the film."
Manohla Dargis in the New York Times described Portman's performance as "smashing, bruising, wholly committed," while Geoffrey Macnab in The Independent newspaper called it "scintillating." With a Golden Globe win, many are wondering if Portman will get an Academy Award nomination too.
But while she says she finds the awards buzz "flattering," Portman also said that audience reaction is most important to her.
"Just to see people engaging so passionately about it is your greatest dream while making a movie," she said.

Charice Mom Apologized

2011-01-21T01:49:00.000-08:00

After her concert with Gary Valenciano Charice refused to answer the press interview. Actually she did not entertained the press and because of this the media in the Philippines said that she is now arrogant and level headed. By the way even the fans could not go near to her. The security is so tight that many believed because Oprah order it. Well since she is now very popular not only in the Philippines but throughout the world maybe her black manager thinks that she should be guarded.

Her mother is quick to depend that her daughter was so tired and she need to rest because the show finished at around 1:00AM in the morning. Many people were disappointed with what she did because she did not care about the press and her fans.

Here's the news about this big head small creator:

MANILA, Philippines- After drawing negative feedback from the entertainment press, the mother of international singing sensation Charice on Monday came to the defense of her daughter.

Charice’s mom, Racquel, appealed for understanding from the entertainment press, who got mad after the 18-year-old songstress refused to grant them an interview last January 8.

Charice performed with Mr Pure Energy Gary Valenciano at SM Mall of Asia Concert Grounds two weeks ago where they also launched their individual scents created by Aficionado Germany Perfumes by Joel Cruz.

Before and after Charice's performance, no one was reportedly allowed to get an interview with the young singer. Also, fans were prohibited from going near her. The rumor was that Oprah Winfrey ordered the tight security.

Racquel explained that her daughter was already too tired and wanted to rest after the show.

“Kasi ‘yong araw na dumating si Charice, mula umaga, natapos ‘yong concert halos 1 a.m,” she said. “Pero sana naman ay naiintindihan nila na napapagod din ‘yong bata, na kailangan ding magpahinga. Hindi nila kasi alam kung gaano ka-busy si Charice sa America para mag-comment ang iba ng ganoon,” she said.

“All the time naman na uuwi kami, lahat ‘yan (interviews) ay napagbibigyan namin,” she added.

Racquel also reiterated that, contrary to criticisms, Charice has never forgotten the Philippines and her humble beginnings. “Lagi kong pinapaisip sa kanya, there’s no place like home. Home niya ang Philippines. Iba pa rin ang mga Filipino.”

‘Disappointed’

Some reporters expressed disappointment over the incident.

Below were some of their sentiments:

“Humihingi na ng permiso, ‘yong handler n’ya sinabing she’s just here to sing . Hindi kami makalapit doon sa tent, paglabas niya ng tent ay nakatalukbong na siya tapos naglalakad na para siyang bulag na inaalalayan siya noong malalaking mama, tapos tinatawag namin siya ni hindi siya lumingon so parang nakakasama ng loob. Nagulat lang ako that night, kasi may sinabing ‘yong handler niya na protocol diumano at galing iyon sa opisina ni Oprah Winfrey. Gusto man naming intindihin pero bakit hindi man lang ginawang exception to the rule ang Philippines bilang isang Filipina ka? Nakakairita! Sumama ang loob ko,” an emotional Ambet Nabus of Pinoy Parazzi said.

“How sad! It’s so unbecoming of a Filipino artist na ganoon ang ginawa niyang trato sa media. Parang sorry ha, pero yuck! Disappointed ako sa kanya,” added Leo Bukas of People’s Taliba.

If some were disappointed, columnist and talent manager Alfie Lorenzo has a different take on the issue.

He said: “The security are just doing their job. Ganyan talaga ang security sa Amerika, sinusunod lang, kaya walang pagkukulang si Charice.”

Racquel has apologized to the press over the incident.

“Humihingi ako ng paumanhin, sana naiintindihan ninyo rin na napapagod din ang anak ko. Huwag na lang itong pahabain,” Racquel said. -Reports from James Cantos, PUSH.com.ph and radio dzMM

Sharon Cuneta Loses Weight after trying different ways

2011-01-21T01:25:00.000-08:00

Is it true? Sharon Cuneta is now slimmer than before. She was interviewed lately and show her slim figure. She lost 20 pounds and 7 inches waistline. The interview looks like an intro to the show called "The Biggest Loser". It has been in the news since last year that she will host the Philippines version of "The biggest Loser". Is she doing this to make her new show more popular? Before there was this news about their quarrel of Aga although they are now friend but many people are saying that this is the way she promotes her new show in 2011.

Another news just lately is that she collapsed after doing her concert in Araneta. She was rushed to St. Luke Hospital but her husband said that she was okay and that she collapsed because she was hungry the other night because of crash diet.

Here is the news about losing her waight taken from ABS-CBN:

Mistulang eksena sa "The Biggest Loser,” ang pinakabagong reality show tungkol sa pagpapayat, ang grand entrance ng host nitong si Megastar Sharon Cuneta.

Ipinagmalaki ni Mega ang bagong hugis ng kanyang katawan.

Twenty pounds na ang nabawas sa timbang ng singer-actress at 7 inches ang natapyas sa kanyang waistline. Wala raw retoke o Photoshop ang kanyang retrato.

Sa unang pagkakataon, ibinahagi ng Megastar ang pagsubok ng bagong timbang.

Sinubukan na niya ang crash diets at liposuction.

"Parang seesaw iyong weight loss ko. Maglo-lose, magge-gain, depende sa anong nangyayari sa buhay ko at nag-midlife crisis ako. May projects, hindi matutuloy," pag-amin ng Megastar.

Rebelasyon din ang kanyang emotional eating habits.

"'Pag malungkot ka talaga kahit na uma-acting kang masaya ka, so pag-uwi 'di mo nare-realize, kain ka nang kain," ani Sharon Cuneta.

Sumubok siya ng kung anu-anong paraan kabilang ang liposuction.

Ayon sa resident psychologist ng “The Biggest Loser” na si Dr. Randy Dellosa, mas mahirap ang pakikipagsapalaran ng mga celebrities sa kanilang timbang dahil sa nakasubaybay na publiko.

"The tendecies for celebrities to go on crash diets and then to engage in mga surgical interventions... However, when they resort to that, nandoon pa rin iyong mga problems nila," ani Dellosa.

Higit sa pagpapaseksi, hangad ni Mega ang magandang kalusugan at maging inspirasyon sa iba. Marie Lozano, Patrol ng Pilipino

Sharon Cuneta was rushed to the hospital

2011-01-13T11:54:00.000-08:00

Sharon Cuneta was rushed to St. Luke hospital after her birthday concert. The issue is that she is over-fatigue! But some comments I read is that she is in crash diet before her birthday. Some said that she need to have a trainer for exercise to loss weight. She also need to stop smoking. I never thought that she is smoking.

She slip when she rendered a number with Billy Crawford and JR Jacinto but was able to finish her concert in Araneta Coliseum. Her husband said that right now the Megastar is okay and it was because she was exhausted and hungry the night before.

As we remember Sharon Cuneta make joke during the concert of Ai Ai delas Alas a month before about Aga Mulach which made headlines. She said that it was a joke but later said that she was hurt because Aga refused to be her leading man in any films that she want to star. The issue was perhaps she is overweight. The issue was settled later and they become friends again.

Here is the complete article from ABS-CBN:

MANILA, Philippines (2nd UPDATE) - Sharon Cuneta was rushed to a hospital after her birthday concert at the Araneta Coliseum on Tuesday night due to exhaustion, her family confirmed Wednesday.

On Twitter, Cuneta’s eldest daughter, KC Concepcion, said that her mother was brought to St. Luke’s Medical Center in Global City.

"After the show, mom felt some pain in her neck and back, and also had dizzy spells. She was brought to the ER. All is clear, exhaustion lang," she tweeted.

After the check-up, she said her mother was discharged from the hospital and arrived home past 3 a.m.

In a text message to abs-cbnNEWS.com, Cuneta's husband, Sen. Francis "Kiko" Pangilinan, also said that his wife “was just exhausted and hungry last night.”

"Sharon is ok. She was just exhausted and hungry last night as she didn't have anything to eat the whole day prior to the show," the senator said.

“She was able to rest today and is feeling much better. Doctors said she is fine," he added.

Overfatigue

After the show, ABS-CBN reporters were ready to congratulate her backstage for having staged a successful event. The megastar, however, wasn’t able to give an interview, sparking speculations that she was suffering from overfatigue.

She went straight to her dressing room and was quickly assisted by the paramedics.

Her supporters even got worried when she had to use a wheelchair as she was escorted out of the Big Dome together with Pangilinan and other companions.

The audience witnessed how Cuneta accidentally slipped earlier during her rock and roll production number with Billy Crawford and RJ Jacinto. But afterwards she even joked about her fall and was still able to finish the concert without any other glitch.

Whether or not the fall has a contributing factor to Cuneta’s sudden illness is still unclear though. The megastar was sick last week and might have not completely recovered yet.

The eldest daughter of Sharon Cuneta is asking for prayers for her mom's speedy recovery.

"She was crying last night & bad daw talaga the pain. Pls pray na ok na sya talaga," Concepcion tweeted.

A night to remember

In the meantime, it was certainly a night to remember for Cuneta’s fans with all the spectacular production numbers. First off, the megastar sang a medley with Star Power’s 5 finalists Akiko Solon, Monica Sacay, Angeline Quinto, K-La Rivera, and Krissel Valdez.

Concepcion and Sam Milby wowed the audience next with their amazing acrobatic dance moves. Ai-Ai de las Alas’s surprise sexy dance number was also one of the highlights of the show.

A romantic rendition of Cuneta’s movie themes were also showcased by the 3 kilig love teams of Piolo Pascual and Concepcion; Sam Milby and Toni Gonzaga; and Jericho Rosales and Karylle. They sang “Dapat Ka Bang Mahalin,” “Pagdating Ng Panahon,” and “Kahit Wala Ka Na,” respectively.

But perhaps, the most special of all was Cuneta’s duet with the Popstar Princess Sarah Geronimo during the latter part of the show.

Our very own Charice Pempengco is not losing her hope that one day she will get a Grammy Award for her as a singer. Charice was discoverd in youtube and was even interviewed by Oprah in her show. After tht interview her life changed. She said that this year she was not included in Grammy but there is still many years to come and she is hoping. Right now Charice is mentored by David Foster.

Charice is back in the Philippines for a concert with Gary Valenciano, the Mr. Pure Energy. She will be back in Japan for a concert.

Here is the News Frm ABS-CBN:

MANILA, Philippines - International singing sensation Charice is still hoping to get a Grammy nomination.

In an interview after her performance at Enchanted Kingdom in Sta. Rosa, Laguna on Sunday, Charice said she has not been nominated in this year's Grammy but said that, like her, people should just wait for the right time to come.

"Hindi ako na-nominate pero marami pang taon, let's wait for that," Charice said.

For the 53rd Grammy Awards, Charice could have been nominated in two categories: Best New Artist and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.

This year, nominees for the Best New Artist are Justin Bieber, Drake, Florence & The Machine, Mumford & Sons, Esperanza Spalding, while Sara Bareilles, Beyoncé, Norah Jones, Lady Gaga and Katy Perry were nominated for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance category.

Charice Pempengco arrived last Saturday to launch her own line of Aficionado perfume via a concert at SM Mall of Asia Concert Grounds.

On Sunday, Charice performed before her town mates in Laguna. Charice said she will be going back to Japan to stage a concert.

Strict security

For the first time, Charice and Mr. Pure Energy Gary Valenciano shared the concert stage.

During their concert on Saturday, Charice and Valenciano’s fans were thrilled, especially when the two sang Charice's hit song, “Pyramid,” together.

Valenciano said he is honored to be on the same stage as Charice, and is proud of what the young singer has achieved in her career.

Meantime, local entertainment media are now having a hard time interviewing Charice.

Before and after her performance at the Mall of Asia, no one was allowed to get an interview with the young singer. Reports also said that people, like her fans, were also prohibited to go near her.

However, she did give an interview after her performance at the Enchanted Kingdom in Laguna. -With a report from ANC

Piolo Pascual is asking P1-Billion talent fee from ABC 5?

2011-01-13T11:27:00.000-08:00

There was a rumor that the hunk Piolo Pascual was offered by ABC 5 for the right price. This rumor has been lurking for awhile but Piolo was denying it. Lately the rumor said that he asked for a P1-billion talent fee which is good for three years. Since it is very high the station decided not to continue the contract. When Piolo was asked about this he just laugh and said that it is not true.

Here is the complete news about this article from ABS-CBN:

MANILA, Philippines – Are there truth to rumors that Piolo Pascual had demanded a whopping P1-billion talent fee from TV5 network?

Rumors also have it that Pascual’s asking price was too big for a 3-year contract that TV5 executives decided not to pursue the hunk actor anymore.

When told about the swirling rumors during a press conference for his Valentine concert, dubbed "Piolo meets the Maestro, Ryan Cayabyab," even Pascual was at a loss for words.

"Wow, sarap namang pakinggan noon. Sana totoo, wow. Pangarap lang po yon, bakit naman ganoon? Sobra naman yon," Pascual told abs-cbnNEWS.com

Will he leave his home network, ABS-CBN, if TV5 offers him P1 billion?

"Siyempre tao lang ako, pero sabi sa Bible kasi choose honor rather than riches. So, you have to protect your name before you be blinded by material stuff,” he replied. "I'm not closing my door pero epokrito naman ako kung sasabihin ko na ito na ako. I mean you know, we all want to spread our wings and we want to maximize whatever talents we are given."

But he quickly added: "Masaya pa ako. Wala po akong problema [sa ABS-CBN]."

Pascual is clueless how the issue of him transferring to another network started. He also belied reports that he already had a meeting with TV5 executives.

Switching networks is far from his mind since he is contented being a Kapamilya star, Pascual maintained. He added that he is satisfied and it shows in his “attitude toward work.”

He said he is also focusing more on how to further improve his craft “because [ABS-CBN has] been so nice to me and been so gracious.”

The actor stressed that he and ABS-CBN have a "good partnership." In fact, Pascual is set to renew his contract with ABS-CBN this February.

After his hit television series “Noah,” Pascual is lined up to do a movie with young actress Kim Chiu.

His Valentine concert with Cayabyab, meantime, will be held at the Philippine International Convention Center's Plenary Hall on February 14 at 8 p.m.

Iñigo, KC

Last Sunday, Piolo Pascual got a big surprise from his son Iñigo. As a birthday gift, Iñigo prepared a surprise video song number that was aired on musical variety show “ASAP.”

Since Iñigo's appearance on television, calls for him to join show business were renewed.

But if he has his way, Piolo Pascual said he will not allow his 13-year-old son to enter showbiz because he wants him to focus on his studies first.

“I was really caught unaware, it was really a surprise. They are all aware I’m trying to keep him from showbiz because nag-aaral ‘yong bata. Ayokong ma-divert ‘yong attention niya,” he said.

Piolo Pascual also reacted to reports that apl.de.ap of Black Eyed Peas gave KC Concepcion, his rumored girlfriend, a Tiffany bracelet as a Christmas gift.

For the actor, it was not a big deal. “Even before they met up, she told me they were having dinner and he was inviting her to fly to the States. Binigay ko pa rin naman sa kanya ang choice,” he said.

When asked if he has met apl in person, he said: “Nakita ko lang sa ‘ASAP.’ Tiningnan ko from head to toe. Joke! (Laughs).” –With Marie Lozano, ABS-CBN News

Ai Ai delas Alas got mad about Albert Martinez's Son

2011-01-13T11:07:00.000-08:00

Ai Ai delas Alas got mad after learning that Albert Martinez son tweet about the last Metro Manila Film Festival awards that her movie is stupid. His son criticized the award giving body especially when Wenn Deramas won as best director for his "Tanging Ina" movie. Ai Ai said that the movie was the fruit of hardship and they tried their best to come up with the best movie. She said that it is not the movie but the respect for older people. Ai Ai is a friend of both Albert Martinez and Liezel. Ai Ai said that their son should learn how to respect older people.

Ai Ai has mixed emotion when she learned about the news from their son. It was learned earlier that Albert Martinez was snubbed by the jurors and was not even nominated as best director. On the other hand the director (Wenn Deramas) was disappointed by the tweet.

Here is the news taken from ABS-CBN:

Ai-Ai de las Alas surprised Sharon Cuneta at her birthday concert held at the Araneta Coliseum last Tuesday night (January 11). The Comedy Concert Queen performed a sexy and acrobatic dance number, saying that she was dedicating her performance to the birthday celebrant.

Ai-Ai is still overwhelmed by the box office success of her movie, Tanging Ina Mo: Last Na ‘To, which has already grossed P179 million. Ai-Ai expressed her gratitude to all those who supported her movie.

On the other hand, the comedienne expressed her dismay over the insulting statement of Alfonso Martinez—son of Albert Martinez and Liezel Martinez—which he posted on his Twitter account. Alfonso’s statement criticized the organizers of the Metro Manila Film Festival, because he was not satisfied with Wenn Deramas (Tanging Ina director) winning the Best Director trophy. Albert’s son also criticized Ai-Ai’s movie and described it as stupid. Albert was the director of another MMFF entry, Rosario, but the actor-director failed to get a nomination.

Ai-Ai said that she had mixed emotions when she read the message. “Halo-halo gulat, pagtataka, atsaka bakit kailangan niyang sabihin ‘yon?” she complained. “’Yun lang naman ‘yung akin, kasi pinaghirapan ang pelikula. Kapag wala kang masyadong alam tungkol sa industriya, I think wala ka namang masyadong karapatang magsalita ng ganon about stupidity.” The actress added that she did not like the “F” word that Alfonso used in his tweet. “Hindi ‘yun sinasabi ng isang taong nakapag-aral kaya nga ang sabi ko kaibigan ko si Liezel, kaibigan ko si Albert pero mas kaibigan ko si Liezel, sasabihin ko nga turuan n’ya ‘yung anak niya na gumalang sa matatanda.”

More than the movie, Ai-Ai pointed out that Alfonso should learn how to be respectful. “Hindi ito about the movie, about ito sa respeto mo sa kapwa mo. Hindi lamang respeto bilang tao sa industriya. Hindi ka magsasalita ng ganon.”

Liezel had apologized and justified that her son was just carried away by his emotions since his father was supposedly snubbed by MMFF. But Ai-Ai stressed, “Kahit na. Dapat pinapaliwanag nila sa anak nila na ang pagkatalo ay part ng buhay. Mga anak ko kahit matalo ako wala naman akong naririnig na ganun kaya siguro dapat i-guide ang mga bata.”

Asked if she tried to call up Liezel, Ai-Ai said that she does not know Liezel’s contact number anymore. “Pero dapat siguro personal siyang mag-sorry kay Direk (Wenn), tingin ko lang.”

Ai-Ai also defended Direk Wenn’s reaction on Alfonso’s tweet. She continued that it is normal that Direk expressed his disappointment with someone who does not see the whole picture. “Kasi hindi naman talaga maganda ‘yung statement and I think ‘yung mga tweet-tweet na ‘yan sana tigilan na ‘yung mga tweet-tweet na ‘yan kasi bukod sa negative siya, marami siyang sakit at away na nangyayari. Nag-aaway nagsasakitan, napaka negative, I think dapat itigil na lang ‘yan.”

Ai Ai wants to work with Oprah and Brad Pitt?

2011-01-05T06:36:00.000-08:00

Really? I could not believe what I have read in a newspaper that Ai Ai after winning the Best Actress in the last Metro Manila Film Festival will want to work with famous celebrities in Hollywood? Is she dreaming or what?

Well of course Ai Ai delas Alas is just joking. She is in cloud 9 and said all of these things about working with Oprah and Brad Pitt. She even said that she want to include her lates film in Oscar. I am referring to "Tanging Ina" which garnered lots of awards. The film will be showned in some selected cities in United States this year.

Here is the news from ABS-CBN which I read:

MANILA, Philippines – If American talk show diva Oprah Winfrey knows what’s good for her, she would invite Comedy Queen Ai Ai delas Alas to be part of her newly launched OWN cable network.

In her interview with “The Buzz," delas Alas said, in jest, that “it will be good for you [Oprah], your business and your health” if she joins Winfrey’s new network.

The 2010 Metro Manila Film Festival best actress awardee made the statement after her manager and the show's host, Boy Abunda, told her that Winfrey might be scouting for new comediennes.

Still on cloud after her recent feat, delas Alas said she is now setting her eyes on Hollywood, especially that her award winning comedy movie, “Ang Tanging Ina Mo, Last Na ‘To,” will have an international screening at Milpitas Century Great Mall in California and Honolulu Regal Dole Cannery in Honolulu.

Delas Alas also invited Hollywood's power couple to her film's international screening. "I would like to invite Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt in our international screening from January 7 to January 13," she said.

Delas Alas revealed she dreams of working alongside Pitt.

What if Jolie opposes the delas Alas-Pitt tandem?

"Sasabunutan ko siya. Bakit siya umaarte ng hindi tama. Sasabihin ko sa kanya, 'Bakit sa bansa namin, best actress ako.' Kapag sinabi niya, 'Ako, hindi.’ ‘O, tignan mo. Ako nga best actress, ikaw hindi," delas Alas joked.

She added: "Ito pa ang gusto ko. Gusto kong isali ang ‘Tanging Ina’ sa Oscars."

All of these were said in jest, of course. But for delas Alas, her Hollywood dream is not a far-fetched idea.

Why?

"With God, nothing is impossible" SAID Ai Ai.

What do you think guys?

Dolphy Won Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor

2010-12-28T10:37:00.000-08:00

The comedy king Dolphy won two awards in the last 35th Metro Manila Film Festival. He won in the Film "Father Jejemon" as Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor in "Rosario". This is the second time as I remember an actor won two awards in one award night. The other one was Dawn Zulueta in "Hihintayin kita sa Langit" as best actress and best supporting actress in a film that I forget with Sharon Cuneta as the lead actress.

Earlier Dolphy's film was criticized because it offended the Catholic Church but those part of his film were deleted. Dolphy said that this might be his last movie because he wants to retire. His live-in partner produced the film. Many people and critics were not happy about the results because they said that other films which are well made were ignored.

Dolphy is Rodulfo Quizon in real life. He is 82 years old and sired many children with different women.

Ai Ai delas Alas Won Best Actress

2010-12-28T10:20:00.000-08:00

Ai Ai delas Alas won best actress in the last film festival. The 35th Metro Manila Film Festival is full of controversy with its winners in different Categories. Ai Ai was very happy when she received the trophy. Many people are questioning about the double win of Dolphy who said that this will be his last movie. Some say that he won because of Sympathy but I like Dolphy though because is effective in Comedy and Drama.

Dolphy's "Father Jejemon" was also into controversy because of some part which is blasphymic to Catholic Church. He won Best Actor in this film and Best Supporting Actor in "Rosario", a classic film directed by Albert Martinez. Back to Ai Ai delas Alas, she won best actress in "Tanging Ina Last na to" and even if this is a comedy film I think she deserve to win because comedy acting I think is harder than drama. If you are not good it might turn out to be overacting. I saw also most of her movies and I think is really good Congratulations to you Ai Ai!!!

Most of the people or critics would say that Filipino Movies are trash and films which are honored abroad are ignored well maybe we Filipinos have different taste than other nationalities. We want to be entertained not to cry so we tend to enjoy shallow movies lol.

Sandra Bullock is Top Earner Actress in Hollywood

2010-08-03T12:16:00.000-07:00

Even if Sandra Bullock is not lucky in her love life but her career is golden. According to Forbes she earned the most from June 2009 to June 2010 which is $56 million. She ranked number one according to Forbes as top earner actress in Hollywood.

Here is the news about her taken from ccn news:

Despite reducing her fee to play the lead in the film “The Blind Side,” her share of the profits paid off handsomely as the movie earned $310 million at the box office – a healthy return on an estimated budget of about $30 million.

Bullock easily surpassed the next two actresses on the list, Reese Witherspoon and Cameron Diaz, who each scored $32 million over the past year. That pair is followed by Jennifer Aniston, who earned $27 million.

The rest of the list includes Sarah Jessica Parker – $25 million; Julia Roberts – $20 million; Angelina Jolie – $20 million; Drew Barrymore – $15 million; Meryl Streep – $13 million; and Kristen Stewart – $12 million.

To reach their calculations, Forbes said they talked to Hollywood insiders like agents, managers, producers and lawyers to determine the stars upfront pay on movies they are currently shooting, as well as money earned after a movie opened in theaters. They also factored in earnings from projects like ad campaigns perfume and clothing lines.

I must conclude that this is her year aside from winning best actress in Oscar Academy. Sandra Bullock is my favorite actress too. I hope she will produce more valuable film in the near future.

What Lindsay Lohan can Expect Inside the Jail?

2010-07-12T13:18:00.000-07:00

Lindsay Lohan will get the same treatment as a regular prisoner but there is a chance that she will be released earlier due to overcrowding prison if she will behave well.

Here is the news about the process as written in CNN.COM

Lindsay Lohan will soon be trading in her designer duds for a stiff cotton Los Angeles County Jail jumpsuit come her three-month sentence, likely to be served at the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, California.

Legal experts say she'll likely serve between two weeks to a month due to the sheriff's long-standing policy of releasing nonviolent offenders early due to overcrowding, presuming she'll also get time off for good behavior. She is due to surrender to the court and begin her sentence on July 20.

Paris Hilton served 23 days of a 45-day sentence at the same jail for violating her probation in a DUI case and was sprung early for good behavior.

"I was basically in the fetal position, basically in hysterics," Hilton told PEOPLE at the time of her first sleepless nights in jail. As for her fellow inmates, she said, "All of the inmates were very supportive. There were girls next to me. We could talk through the vents and they were just really sweet."

As with all other prisoners, Lindsay Lohan, 24, will be photographed, fingerprinted and searched upon entry at the facility, which currently holds about 1,800 inmates, all of them female, says L.A. sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore.

After being placed in a holding area with other detainees, Lohan will eventually be assigned a 12-by-8 cell that features two bunks (with 4-inch thick foam mattresses covered in green vinyl), a toilet, sink, a stool and a small tabletop. The only glimpse of the outside world is through a narrow six-inch window.

Whitmore said that Lohan would likely be segregated from the general population "for her protection as well as the jail staff."

Little Free Time
Most inmates at the Lynwood jail are kept in their cells for 22 hours a day, except for one hour of recreation time and 20 minutes per meal. The free-time hour can be spent watching TV in a common room, playing basketball in a recreation room, making phone calls or taking a hot shower.
Morning wake-up calls are at 5 a.m. through a blaring P.A. system. "Line up for chow! Make your bed! Tuck your shirts in! Hands in your pants! I want my military line with no talking! That's how you start your day at Lynwood," a former inmate tells PEOPLE.

Breakfast is served shortly thereafter and typically consists of two hard-boiled eggs, two pieces of wheat bread and an orange juice carton. Lunch is served around 10:30 a.m. and is often peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, an apple, banana or two cookies with a fruit punch carton.
Served around 5:30 p.m., a typical dinner (the only hot meal of the day) is processed chicken, what inmates have nicknamed "erasers," served with noodles, broccoli, coleslaw and Jell-O for dessert. To drink: milk.

Mel Gibson Abused Ex-girlfriend?

2010-07-09T11:14:00.000-07:00

Mel Gibson is one of my favorite actors of all time. I watched all of his films except “Braveheart” not because I do not like it but the scene where his girlfriend was killed is the one which I felt gruesome. “Passion of Christ” was a major box office hit though I found some mistake in editing the film. Well I have to write about the latest news about him. I knew that he committed adultery when he found another woman and have a child with her. The latest news is that he physically abused because they have a bitter legal battle in recent months for the child custody. Oksana Grigorieva the alleged victim is a Russian singer who also wants the custody of their child Lucia.
The Sheriff’s statement said that the alleged violence occurred in January at Gibson’s home in Malibu. There was no statement from Gibson side as of this writing.
Mel Gibson is a major Hollywood star who found fame after he portrayed the action hero in “Mad Max” movies. He again boosted his stardom in the “Lethal Weapon” cop flicks and others and won Oscars for directing and producing “Braveheart”.
But the actor ran into trouble in 2006 when he was arrested for drunk driving in Malibu, California, where he lives, and then launched into an anti-Semitic tirade against the arresting officer. He was quoted as telling the official that "Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world."
Gibson subsequently apologized publicly for what he called "despicable behavior" and sought counseling. He was sentenced to three years probation and ordered to attend an alcohol recovery program.

Lindsay Lohan Fingernail Message

2010-07-07T22:55:00.000-07:00

Lindsay Lohan

Here is a follow up news about Lindsay Lohan. I thought she is a nice girl. I thought she is the victim but look at what she has in her fingernail. She is crazy and I do not blame the paparazzi about what happened to her. It is her doing that made her a victim. I hopw she will mull inside the jail and change her life for the better.

This bitch has to learn a lesson. Staying in jail for 90 days is not enough with this kind of attitude. Many people wish that she will be punished or be bullied inside the jail. Fame and money can really make the person blind. She should follow what Drew Barrymore had done to her life. Look at her now, she is very successful and happy. As an artist they should set themselves as an example to young people. The young people always look up them as their model. Anyway have a nice three months vacation in the jail and be a new person when finishing your sentence.

Many famous individuals went to jail for crime they were committed but I think this is okay that going straight to the cemetery. At least in jail they still have time to fix their lives.

Lindsay Lohan reform yourself and have fun in the jail.

Robert Pattinson Eclipse Interview

2010-07-07T12:33:00.000-07:00

Robert Pattinson who played the character Edward in "Twilight Saga" movie series reveals some of the details about the next movies "Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn" that it might be a two movie. Maybe this part is too long that they decided to make it into two. But the guy never said anything whether they are a couple off screen with Kristen Stewart and who could blame him, he is was just their to promote the movie.

Here is the Interview:

What did you learn for Eclipse?
Robert Pattinson: "I guess I had to learn how to run properly. In the last two I’ve always run with a kind of limp/skip and I had to sort of look like I could run more solidly this time. So I spent a lot of time on a giant treadmill, like one of those wheels mice run around - and got filmed doing it to improve my form. I guess that was one of the big things."

  Edward is considered a romantic hero but he’s also very possessive. Can you talk a little bit about what you think halfway through playing Edward? Has he changed?

Robert Pattinson: "Yeah, I mean in the first two movies, earlier on in the story, were just caused by his desolation from reality, so when he finds one thing to hold on to, that’s where the possessiveness comes from. I think as the series goes on he accepts more and more that he’s part of the contemporary world. I think all the things that were deemed to be flawed before start fading away. I mean, that’s how I’m trying to play him. I think he’s coming out of his shell a little bit in Eclipse, so hopefully by the end of Breaking Dawn I’m hoping he’ll be basically a normal 17 year old guy, just a little bit pale."

Did you ever compete for a woman with another guy the way Edward does with Jacob?

Robert Pattinson: "Did you say, 'Have you ever slept with a woman with another guy?' [Laughing] I was like, 'I don’t know if that’s appropriate!' Compete, no I don’t! I’m not good at doing it. I just kind of leave it alone. And also I guess, well I was about to say if you own the girl but that doesn’t make sense, if you are the one with the girl in the first place I guess maybe you’re forced into fighting a little bit. But I would never be in Jacob’s position, because then you just end up being the guy who broke up a couple anyway."

How was working more closely with Taylor Lautner in Eclipse?

Robert Pattinson: "Yeah it was good in this one because I never do anything with anyone else, apart from Kristen in the other two. I mean brief things, but it’s kind of part of how I was answering the other question, letting Edward have petty emotions like being jealous of Jacob and not being able to control himself around him because he gets under his skin so much it became much easier to play, a much bigger scope of emotion to play as soon as you let someone else get through your armor. So doing that with Taylor was great. He’s really good too."

Was there a scene in particular with him that stands out?

Robert Pattinson: "Some scenes it was just quite cool to have him there. I like the scenes where Bella has to reveal something about herself in front of Jacob and me at the same time. It’s quite a nice extra thing to relate to. Most of the time it’s just with Bella and she’s trying to convey something to me and Edward is being totally sympathetic to her. But seeing another guy and seeing it’s not just about our relationship, it’s about some other person, it kind of made it a little more interesting."

Do you believe in a soul, like Edward?

Robert Pattinson: "Yeah. I mean, I think definitely. I can’t remember who said it, but a soul and a heaven must exist because good people aren’t rewarded enough on Earth. I always liked that idea, if that makes sense."

How was working with David Slade? Do you have to kind of explain to each director about the character?

Robert Pattinson: "It’s interesting. After doing Twilight, the first one everyone had very specific ideas and everyone was butting heads the entire time, and you can kind of feel it in the movie. It’s a different energy where everyone’s like, 'No, this is what it’s about.' Then when Chris Weitz came in for New Moon, he basically came in with the opinion that he liked the first one, he liked what the actors were doing, so just follow along that road."

"Then when David came in he was like, 'I want to do everything completely different, not do it like the first two.' So we talked about the character development and consistency from the two and he was like, 'It doesn’t matter. Let’s just do something completely different,' which is good because then it’s challenging. It’s easy to get stagnant if you play the same character and luckily I’ve kind of felt, I don't know...I guess in New Moon I felt like I was developing something a little bit deeper. And then with Eclipse I felt like I was doing a completely different movie, and a completely different character in a lot of ways. So, yeah, it was nice and challenging."

What was David’s biggest imprint on you as far as how you played Edward this time?

Robert Pattinson: "I mean, I guess he was really fighting to make it not so, what’s the word, solemn I guess, just the speed of it. Just to speed things up which is a massive deal because I mean Edward always, in my eyes, has been so calculated and everything is not rash, any of his decisions. David wanted to speed up the whole thing and make him more vulnerable."

You were on the first soundtrack, would you contribute again on anymore of the movies?

Robert Pattinson: "I’ve done a couple of things. I mean, I’ve always just been playing around. As for the soundtracks, I mean I’m not sure. It was nice to be involved in the first one. I just saw Twilight on TV for the first time a few days ago."

You’d never seen it before?

Robert Pattinson: "No, [laughing] apart from the commentary. When my song came on I was just thinking that is so bizarre that I actually had a song in the movie. I’m kind of amazed Catherine Hardwicke did it. It really shows how none of us thought it was going to be so massive. I didn’t know anyone was going to buy the soundtrack or anything. So it’s a little more nerve-wracking now. I don’t know, maybe."

Taylor Lautner has a great line when he gets to say he’s hotter than you. How was it filming that scene and were you upset you didn’t get a comeback as Edward? And would you like to address that issue right now?
Robert Pattinson: "There’s nothing you can say. It’s like, ‘Yeah, you are! At least I’m not hotter than you.' I don’t know, yeah it was quite fun. There are quite a few lines in there. Jacob has quite a few catchphrase-type of lines in this film, with me especially."

"It’s quite funny, for some reason I find it quite funny when I’m doing stuff like that with Taylor. There are a couple scenes where we have sort of confrontational scenes, I sort of push him around a little bit and I was supposed to grab his shoulder. It wasn’t even in the script, I thought I’d really scare him and grab his shoulder and it’s going to freak him out and turn the whole scene upside down! Then I grabbed his shoulder and his shoulder was too big to actually get a grip on. So he just went [brushed it off] and I just dropped my hand, so that was kind of embarrassing. I got him back, though. He kept having to dress up in a little grey spandex wolf suit all the time and try and be intimidating in that, with Kristen patting him on the head and stuff. That was quite fun to get him back."

There are so many fan sites not just for you, but for Edward. Do you check any of those fansites out?

Robert Pattinson: "It’s kind of incredible the information they get so quickly. Sometimes I’ll check them to see what my schedule is on stuff, especially on the weekend when I can’t get through to my agency. They know way better, or even to see my emails sometimes! But no, some of them it’s strange being in Twilight because so much of the fan base is completely about being on the internet and having a community with each other. You see people turn up on sets of other movies I’ve done and take a picture. You know the main reason is so they can have a thing within their online community, and you know it’s going to be up within five seconds. If they could upload it as they were taking the picture, it’d be better. But, yeah, it’s strange."

Are you afraid that everything else you do will be compared to Edward Cullen?

Robert Pattinson: "I’m not sure. I’ve always been of the opinion that if something explodes really quickly, it takes the same amount of time for people to think of something else. I mean, I don’t know. I hope not. Maybe it’ll be a good thing...I have no idea."

You said most of your scenes are with Kristen. Both of you are very serious actors, so how do you two prepare for those scenes? Do you get together and nitpick everything over, or do you prefer to just get on set and see what happens?

Robert Pattinson: "I do because I have, for some reason I can’t understand anything and I think I’m going really into depth of the character when it just seems so obvious to Kristen. Her mind works completely differently. She can just feel things immediately and I’ll kind of, I don’t know, I like to be much more cerebral about things, in completely the opposite way to Kristen. I don’t feel confident unless I know more about the reasons why I’m doing things. I don’t really do that for other parts, so I guess that’s what I do for Edward. But I always, since the first one, like to go in depth about things."

Edward and Victoria have this really cool fight scene. How much training did you and Bryce Dallas Howard have to go through and what was it like having to fight a girl?

Robert Pattinson: "Weirdly, one of the producers on this told me the other day, 'Wow, you look so enthusiastic in that fight scene, much more so than any one in the series.' No, I did a bit of practice with Bryce. It’s really hard to do stuff with her because she’s the gentlest person and she’s always kind of laughing whenever you do anything, so we did a little bit and kind of half-heartedly. And then she’d be afraid of hurting me for some reason, even though she’d only be hitting [imitating a light tap]. I thought something was going to go wrong at some point, and we basically waited for the day. Most of the vicious looking stuff I did with her stunt double who was really, really tough. But the bits with Bryce you can really notice if you just watch the fight scene, we’re just kind of rolling around a bit and grabbing onto each other. But, yeah, it was fun doing that."

Do you understand the fantasy about you and Kristen being together in real life and what’s the truth about it?

Robert Pattinson: "Do I understand the fantasy of it? No, not really. Well I mean I guess people like stories I mean…that’s my basic conclusion is that they just want everything to be about Twilight, I guess. The truth is…that I wish I had a few more hours of sleep today so I could think about better answers. I don't know." [laughing]

What would you say to someone who wants to know why they should see this movie?

Robert Pattinson: "'Why not?,' I suppose. It’s strange. I don’t know what to say to people. It’s become so big that it’s become part of the cultural environment I think, unless I’m just imagining it. It’s really difficult for me to tell someone to go out and see it. I mean I don’t know anymore! For the first one and the second one I knew exactly what to say to people."

"I guess, if you don’t know what the story is about by now, then you’ve probably never been to the cinema before so why not just go to the cinema for once? I don't know. I mean I think if you’re a fan of it, there’s a lot of the film that plays into what the fans of the series want. I guess if you’ve never seen them before, a lot of people who have seen it tell me it’s the most accessible of the three. It’s a solid story by itself and it’s more of a sort of action film. Even when I was watching Twilight the other day, now that I’ve seen it, you do need to read the book to get it. I was just like, 'What?,' and I’m in it!"

With Breaking Dawn, what do you think is Edward’s evolution?

Robert Pattinson: "I haven’t read it yet! I mean it’s weird to do because I’m starting it a month after this job and it’s something I’m quite glad I haven’t read it yet. I didn’t intend to not read it until now, but it’s quite exciting. I have no idea. I just heard brief rumors about what happens in the story, but I don’t really know what happens at all."

What’s the one part of your costume that always transforms you into character? How are you going to go about getting your long hair back for Breaking Dawn?

Robert Pattinson: "Probably the contact lenses because it makes me miserable as soon as I put them in. That’s what creates sort of the pouting and brooding character. You’re just like, 'Ugh.'"

"I’m thinking maybe Edward had a haircut, it might be easier. But yeah, I didn’t even think about that when I got it cut. That is a bit silly. Vampires can cut their hair though, so I like the idea of Edward having a shaved head in the last one. That might be pretty cool."

How long have you known Breaking Dawn was going to be two films and have you met with Bill Condon yet?

Robert Pattinson: "I found out about Breaking Dawn being two films when the press release came out! I haven’t asked anyone about that yet. Bill Condon I met briefly a few weeks ago, kind of by accident just before the MTV Awards in a bar [laughing]. He seemed great. He seemed like a really, really nice guy. I haven’t talked to him in detail about anything, but Gods and Monsters is an amazing movie. I think it’s going to be good. I don’t even know where they’re going to shoot it yet or anything!"

In the tent scene, did you or Taylor crack up during the serious moments? Was it hard to keep a straight face?

Robert Pattinson: "It’s weird that you mention the tent scene about that. For some reason on that day - we reshot it as well - but the first time we did it, I was really freaking out. I don’t know why. I think it had to do with claustrophobia or something, because we were actually shooting in a tent, and I just couldn’t get it together! I kept forgetting my lines and getting so nervous. I just wanted to punch anyone who was near me in the face! We did about three takes and Kristen is supposed to be asleep on the floor and she saw that I was freaking out...I don't know why. Halfway through the take she suddenly opened her eyes. She kept staring at me and kept trying to make me laugh through the entire take, and it’s like the most serious scene in the whole movie! I just wanted to strangle her for the first two seconds, but then the entire scene I was playing, I almost could not stop laughing the entire time. We got literally one take where it went kind of right and it was because of that, when I was trying to hold back laughter. I guess it made me more alive or something. They did reshoot the scene in the end, so maybe I’m a little bit mistaken."

What drives you to succeed?

Robert Pattinson: "I guess probably fear of failure [laughing] and an inadequacy complex."

Jake Gyllenhaal in Prince of Persia: The Sand of Times

2010-07-07T11:51:00.000-07:00

This is late post about Prince of Persia but I just want to write because I like Jake Gyllenhaal very much. I saw him first in "The day after tomorrow" as Dennis Quaid genius son. He was still very young then and I like his innocent face. I appreciate him very much in his challenging rule in "Brokeback Mountain" with Heath Ledger too but Ledger passed away so soon.

What I like about Jake is his eyes. They communicate even before he speak. I really want to see this "Prince of Persia" which is rename as "Dagger" in the Philippines but I could find a good copy in the Net. The movie is based on the popular computer game so I think the computer game enthusiast will love this.

This movie was shot in Morocco with 120 temperature while some part is in England. The budget of the film is $150 million and was premier on May 28, 2010. Jake laeding lady is the beautiful Gemma Alterton. By the way Jake Gyllenhaal did a lot of exercise to have a beautiful abs here and you can see his bulging muscles pack.

Kristen Stewart of Twilight Saga felt luckier than Lohan

2010-07-07T11:21:00.000-07:00

Kristen Stewart felts that she is lucky not to be like Lindsay Lohan/a>. I first saw Stewart in “Panic Room” as Jodie Foster child. I did not recognize her and I thought she was a boy lol. Unlike Lindsay Lohan, Kristen Stewart is very proud because she has the support of her parent. See what money can do! Anyway she said that she remain humble and never lost her momentum about fame and money. Good child indeed. The “twilight saga” actress admits that is is easy for young stars to lose their way in life. Although she described her family as supportive but Stewart do not blame Lindsay Lohan for getting off the rails and said that Lohan is a very smart girl.

"Mean Girls" actress Lohan, 23, has had a turbulent few years as she battled problems with drink and drugs read Lindsay Lohan here for more details.

Although Stewart is thrilled she has remained level-headed, she hates the intrusion into her life and believes it is similar to "rape."

She told Britain's Elle magazine: "What you don't see are the cameras shoved in my face and the bizarre intrusive questions being asked, or the people falling over themselves, screaming and taunting to get a reaction. The photos are so... I feel like I'm looking at someone being raped. A lot of the time I can't handle it."
Since she first appeared in the "Twilight" movies, Stewart and her hunky co-star Robert Pattinson have been continually questioned about the status of their relationship.

However, the 20-year-old starlet has vowed to remain secretive on the subject.
She added: "What I say is that why would I want anything that's private to become entertainment for other people?"

I for one once lost my momentum and I learn many lessons out of it. Feeling famous! My advice is to stand up and fight and give yourself another chance. I like Kristen Stewart and want to see more of her films in the future.

Lindsay Lohan Sentenced 3 Months in Jail

2010-07-07T10:49:00.000-07:00

I am not a fan of Lindsay Lohan but I read some of the comments about her and felt sorry because harsh comments like she deserved it to be jail for being bitch is not nice. It is some somewhat adding insult to injury. We people should not be happy about other people’s misery or downfall.

Lindsay Lohan was sentenced to 90 days in jail or that is that roughly three months for violating the 2007 probation by not attending the alcohol education classes. It is about drunk driving test. Beverly Hills Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel ordered the “Mean Girls” movie start to report for jail in July 20 and attend the 90-day residential substance abuse program once she finish her sentence.

Lohan, 24, sobbed bitterly on hearing the sentence. She had earlier tearfully begged the judge for forgiveness, saying she was taking her alcohol education classes seriously.

"I am not taking this as a joke. This is my life. It is my career. It is something I have worked for all my life," Lohan said.
The court heard that Lohan had missed seven alcohol education classes over a period of 27 weeks and had not attended once a week as instructed by the judge.
"I couldn't have been more clear, and it wasn't done," said Revel, before sentencing her.

Tuesday's hearing stemmed from a 2007 drunken driving and cocaine arrest. Lohan spent 84 minutes in jail that year as part of her sentence and was given three years probation.

Her career, at its height during the 2003 and 2004 movies "Freaky Friday" and "Mean Girls", has since gone rapidly downhill.

Lindsay Lohan found fame as an 11 year-old in the movie "The Parent Trap" and was considered one of Hollywood's most talented young actresses. But in recent years, her hard-partying ways have proved steady fodder for celebrity gossip sites.
Many celebrities ruined their lives because of drugs but some of them recovered like Drew Barrymore so I hope Lohan will learn from others experience.

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse Earned $30 million After Midnight Screenings

2010-07-02T04:00:00.000-07:00

I watched the two previous offering of this movie and most of the viewers were teenager and alike because this movie although it is about vampires but the romance is there where the teenagers were tickled. I love the first two released too as I am young at heart and I like vampire movies. Now according to the news “The twilight Saga: Eclipse,” which debuted on Wednesday make a record-breaking of $30 million box office in screening just after midnight.

According to North American ticket sales, this movie beat the predecessor “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” with only $26.3 million for any movie’s midnight screenings.
According to critics the movie boosted its romantic storyline but overall the active and execution were not satisfying. The “eclipse” is more entertaining than the two predecessors with added humor, more violence and true the film’s title, a deeper intimation of darkness.

Box office unfazed according to Reuters Report:
But reviews may not matter for the teen market who have embraced the first two films as much as they have Meyer's books, and the midnight screenings certainly brought out loyal followers known as "Twi-hards."

The initial "Twilight" sucked $392.5 million from box offices worldwide and its sequel, "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" raked-in $709 million worldwide.
And whether they can act or not, the franchise's stars have profited. Both Pattinson and Stewart were ranked in this week's Forbes' magazine 2010 celebrity power list, earning $17 million and $12 million respectively in 2010. Author Stephenie Meyer made $40 million.

Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times said while part of the movie didn't work, including the special effects, "the audience watched this film rapt with attention" and in summing up, said "The 'Twilight' movies are chaste eroticism to fuel adolescent dreams."

To sum up the movie, many reviews noted the line from the film that seemed to most epitomize the stand-off between Edward and Jacob over their competing affections for Bella. Jacob tells his rival: "Let's face it, I'm hotter than you."

Meryl Streep Might Play Margaret Thatcher

2010-07-02T03:34:00.000-07:00

Meryl Steep is my all time favorite actress and I am proud of it. She is the most nominated actress in Oscar and still counting. Right now is very busy in talks about playing Margaret Thatcher the former British Prime Minister. The movie title is “The Iron Lady” a biopic of the controversial Prime Minister. Meryl Streep is known to play many and different real life women.

Jim Broadbent is in talk too to play Thacher’s husband, Denis. If this deal is completed, the role of Thatcher will be the highest profile character yet tackled by Streep. Meryl Streep will reteam with the “Mamma Mia” director Phyllida Lloyd for this famous and long-governing former British Prime Minister.

Lloyd, a British theater director known for her work in the opera world, elicited energy and brought out youthfulness in Streep in her feature adaptation of "Mamma Mia!," which grossed more than $600 million worldwide in 2008.

I am always fascinated when I watched Meryl Streep Movies.
