Taylor Lautner to Endorse Filipino Apparel Bench is Fake PR stunt

Thursday, June 16th, 2011

taylor lautner bench I saw this news article on Philippine Star that Taylor Lautner is set to endorse Philippine apparel Bench. Since I’m not a big fan of Lautner or any twilight stars in particular, I knew that this news would be a big deal. Turns out that Ricky Lo is sadly mistaken. What’s worst is that Taylor Lautner’s Management isn’t too happy about the PR stunt and considers filing a case against Bench.

I was thinking that either Ricky Lo drank too much martini when he got the news or he got paid to make fake PR stunt to get some buzz going. For an established entertainment writer like Ricky Lo, it’s pretty dumb move to release news like that without verifying facts. If he continues to make stunts like that I’m sure he’ll end up writing for unsavory tabloid columns like Tiktik, Bandera and etc. I’m sure he’ll be welcomed by bottom feeders like Cristy Fermin.

Here’s Ricky Lo Article on Taylor Lautner as Bench endorser:

MANILA, Philippines – Bench has followed in the footsteps of other local brands by hiring a Hollywood star to endorse its products. According to The Philippine Star entertainment columnist Ricky Lo, Bench tapped American actor Taylor Lautner to become its newest endorser.

Lo’s source, however, did not say if Lautner, who rose to fame by playing Jacob Black in “The Twilight Saga”, would model its shirts, pants or underwear. “Gossip Girl” actor Ed Westwick flew to the Philippines after Penshoppe hired him. Clothing brand Kamiseta has previously tapped Natalie Portman to endorse its products. Katie Holmes is its latest endorser.

Dakota Fanning’s Marc Jacobs Vulgar Ad

Tuesday, June 14th, 2011

I know that Dakota Fanning is itching to act “grown up” but posing like this in Marc Jacobs perfume ad looks unclassy. Here in this picture you see Dakota as nubile girl with a perfume strategically placed between her legs. On top of it, there’s a flower strategically placed. I get this “birds and bees” type of vibe to it.

I’m guessing that the one in charge wants to project a “lolita” look but ends up looking like a fapping material to lecherous guys.

Filipino Comedian Vice Ganda was offended by Tado at Showtime

Monday, May 24th, 2010

vice-ganda offended

Looks like Vice Ganda met his match in the form of Tado who was the guest judge in “Showtime”. Apparently Vice was offended by Tado’s remark to the contestants that the performance was so “gay”. Seething with rage, he confronted tado what’s wrong with being one. Tado told him to read his shirt which says, “Di bali magnakaw kaysa mamakla”. Tado is known for that type of jokes but Vice finds it offensive and unacceptable.

Vice seems to forget that he himself has cracked offensive jokes to other people and he didn’t even spare his own kind. For him to act as some kind of “moral” police is so wrong. That’s the proverbial “Pot calling the kettle black”.
