Miss Universe Now Allows Transgender to Enter All Because of Jenna Talackova
At first I totally applaud Miss Universe Canada committee for kicking out this man who lied about not being a naturally born woman. Now this shemale threatened to sue. He can whine all about gender equality and such but this doesn’t change the fact that he was born male. No amount of surgery and hormones will turn him into a woman EVER!
Donald Trump’s Miss Universe contest on Tuesday threw open its doors to transgender models, allowing men who have had a sex change the chance to be crowned the world’s most beautiful woman.
The transgender contestants will be able to strut their stuff in the international beauty championships starting in 2013, while pioneering sex-change model Jenna Talackova will be allowed to take part this year, said gay and transgender rights organization GLAAD.
“The Miss Universe Organization today follows institutions that have taken a stand against discrimination of transgender women including the Olympics,” said Herndon Graddick, a spokesman for the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation.

Guess who’s the latest hollywood star image model of Penshoppe? It’s no other than Zac Efron. I bet that gets a lot of filipino fans giddy with excitement in seeing him in Philippines soon. It seems that Penshoppe is getting foreign celebrity endorsers such as Mario Maurer and Ed Westwick. While they’re at it, they might as well improve the women’s clothing line since it leaves a lot to be desired. Just saying.

The greed of Henry Sy’s SM corporation is unbelievable. Despite so many protests from people of Baguio on cutting off the pine trees to make way for their ugly parking lot. But what can you expect from a man and his family who profited from exploiting their own employees with shorter contract, few benefits and low pay. These soulless creatures are all about money and exploitation. They don’t give a damn about their potential customers since they’re confident that people will still patronize their shitty malls. You can go there, use their resources, just don’t spend a single cent on them and their establishments. I’m even hoping for a landslide on their building, to teach them a lesson.
They also had the nerve of supporting Earth Hour yet went on cutting trees. Haay I’m running out of vile adjectives to describe these evil corporate bastards. Thank goodness we still have people like Carlos Celdran who helped spread awareness of what’s happening. For now, trees are a bit safe when a TEPO has been granted. I hope that the people of Baguio will also BOYCOTT their local government for allowing this to happen.

Angelica Panganiban will star with Piolo Pascual in this Romantic Comedy “Every Breath U Take”. Judging from this trailer, the movie isn’t strong enough to generate interest from me. I presume this is just one of star cinema’s generic and formulaic films. I don’t think the two have no chemistry whatsoever. Just watching these two make out makes me gag.

Last April 3, 2012, Alakim’s wife Maricar shot herself inside the couple’s car. Alakim was wounded during the ordeal when he tried to stop his wife. However the police suspected a foul play, hence they charged Allan de Paz with parricide. I sincerely think that the wife might have indeed tried to kill herself in the heat of the arguement. I hope that Alakim will emerge from this problem.
Posted in Pinoy Celebrity | No Comments »MANILA, Philippines – Pilipinas Got Talent Season 1 grand finalist Alakim (real name: Allan de Paz) may face parricide charges, after his wife Maricar allegedly shot herself inside their car in Marikina City on Tuesday morning.
Initial reports indicated the couple came from a birthday party when Maricar allegedly shot herself inside their Honda vehicle, with plate number XJX-476, in front of their house in Lamar Village, Marikina City.
Alakim sustained a wound on his hand after he allegedly tried to stop his wife.
Alakim was rushed to St. Luke’s Medical Center Bonifacio Global City in Taguig.
In a statement, Alakim admitted he and wife had a misunderstanding but refused to give more details on the reasons behind their rift.
The authorities are now looking into the possibility of foul play. A radio dzMM report quoted unnamed authorities as saying Alakim may face parricide charges over his wife’s death.
Police are also investigating who owns the .38 Super pistol used in the incident since Alakim and his wife are both novice shooters.

Filipina Celebrity Doctor Vicky Belo Struggles to Move on from Hayden Kho
As expected, Vicky Belo admits to having a hard time moving on from bf Hayden Kho. Whatever she says I don’t believe a single word of it. After all, she broke up with this guy countless of times and before you know it, they’re back in each other’s arms again. They’ll probably wait for the issue to cool down and announce to the public that they already got married to some vegas chapel.
Posted in Pinoy Celebrity | No Comments »Months after they broke up, memories of former boyfriend Hayden Kho still haunt Dra. Vicki Belo. She still misses him a lot and is surprised why she’s fine “when I thought I would be a lot worse than I am.”
Vicki recalls how devastated she felt after the break-up (she tweeted that she was letting Hayden date Nancy Castiglione openly).
“I said, ‘God, take me na. I’ve done a lot already’,” Vicki relates.
Despite everything, Vicki only has good words for Hayden. She’s proud of what he has made of himself now that he is slowly weaning himself away from her.
“He’s training with Ana Valdes-Lim, a graduate of Juilliard (School of Music in New York). He acts so well. Ang dami na niyang pinaghuhugutan. He is now being managed by Carlo (Orosa’s) group (Stages),”relates Vicki.

Filipino Hunk Derek Ramsay Transfers to TV5
After much waiting and playing “hard to get”, Derek Ramsay decides to transfer to TV5 because of the offer that’s hard to refuse. Which makes it a shame though since he’s one of the rarest “masculine” leading man in ABS CBN. I hope his decision won’t affect his girlfriend Angelica Panganiban’s career.
Posted in Pinoy Showbiz | No Comments »This is what Bong Osorio, head of ABS-CBN Corporate Communications, said in a statement sent to Yahoo! Philippines OMG and other media outlets.
The statement reads, “Derek Ramsay has decided to transfer to TV5. For months, ABS-CBN has exerted efforts to make him stay as a Kapamilya. TV5, however, offered him an amount that was difficult for him to refuse. We thank Derek for the many years he has been with ABS-CBN.”

At a very young age (toddler days, in fact), Gabriela Annjane U. Cruz, more known to her beloved fans as Ella Cruz (Or Iela to her relatives and close friends), have never been afraid nor shy of the flickering flashes of the camera. In fact, at the age of two, she was always their family’s front liner when it comes to producing home movies.
Prior to her well-known participation in Eat Bulaga’s Little Miss Philippines, Ella, along with her cousins and her older sister loved to sing as well as dance during various family events, holidays. This was also due to overwhelming requests not only from Ella’s family but also from other acquaintances who grew fond of Ella’s wit and certain panache.
Though she didn’t win at the semifinals of Little Miss Philippines, thanks to her charm and sensitivity, she was still able to win the hearts of many televiewers as well as the staff of Eat Bulaga, who later placed her and her sister at Nadine Samonte and Oyo Boy Sotto’s afternoon teleserye, “Ikaw Sa Puso Ko” as one of the orphans where Nadine’s character stays. After her random and various appearances at TV, she participated at Dunkin Donut’s annual pageant for young boys and girls, where she won not only in their district, nor in the entire province of Bulacan, but also in the entire nationwide search as well.
Ella Cruz’ made a bang during the years 2006 and 2007, wherein she gained bigger roles such as (in no particular order) the young “Sabina” at GMA7′s Majika, the young Elisa at Atlantika and of course, who can forget her two lead roles during those years, one as Ella in Now and Forever: Dangal and the one that made her really famous, Tin-Tin at GMA7′s Super Twins.
It was also within the years of 2006-2005 when Ella landed four consecutive movie roles, one as Aiza at the movie “Paraiso: Tatlong Kuwento Ng Pag-Asa”, young “Andrea” at the movie, “The Promise, Kerubina at the movie Angels, and last but not the least, “Kiara” at the well-acclaimed movie, Resiklo, where she also won Best Child Actress in the 56th Famas.
Subsequent to her Marimar project at GMA7, she then transferred to ABS-CBN, with her Maalaala Mo Kaya: Pulang Panyo as her very first project in the said station. She then joined the gang of “Going Bulilit”, wherein she stayed for nearly two years, along with other random appearances at MMK and Only You, wherein she played as Andrea, the younger sister of Angel Locsin.
Ella became a freelance artist, and went back to the Kapuso network, with her role as Jenny at “Panday Kids as her major comeback role. At 2009, Ella became one of the hosts in QTV 11/GMA 7′s Tropang Potchi which airs every Saturday 11:30 PM and she’s also one of the front-liners in TV5′s Inday Wanda, which frequently airs every Monday 8:00PM. Apart from the aforementioned shows, Ella also appears at various shows at TV5, GMA7 and ABS-CBN, which is obviously the benefit of being a freelance talent.
Ella also appeared at TV5′s Face To Face: Untold Stories as Assunta DeRossi’s daughter, and at Maalaala Mo Kaya’s episode last September 11, 2010 entitled “Videoke, which is her first starring role after approximately three years since “Pulang Panyo”. Ella’s MMK episode last September 11, 2010 merely proved to everyone that she is still and definitely one of the most promising actresses of today. She also became Czarina at GMA 7′s “Ilumina” and Britney at the remake of “Ikaw Lang Ang Mamahalin”.
After being a freelance artist, and appearing from one TV show, from one network to another, Ella has decided to settle in to only one network. Ella Cruz recently signed up as an exclusive actress in ABS-CBN, which means that you’ll probably see her frequently in ABS-CBN. And early this year, Ella Cruz will sign an exclusive contract with Star Magic as well.
You’ve seen her at Wansapanataym’s “Somewhere Over The Bahaghari” and recently in “Dahil Sa Pagibig” as the teen Jasmin. That’s just the beginning… there’s a lot in store for Ella Cruz this 2012. So you better watch out because you’re in for a major ride!
