MARIAN RIVERA Willing to Pose for FHM But...

In-announce na nga officially ng mismong editor-in-chief ng FHM Philippines na si Allan Madrilejos ang pagkakaboto kay Marian Rivera bilang Philippines' Finest sa 100 Sexiest Women in The World 2008.

Ayon kay Allan, "Para siya [Marian] na ngayon ang sexiest Filipina sa bansa."

Record-breaking ang pagiging No. 1 ni Marian dahil siya pa lang ang kauna-unahang non-cover girl na naging Philippines' Finest ng FHM.

Nagbigay naman ng kanyang pahayag si Marian sa pagkakahirang niya bilang Sexiest Woman.

"Sobrang saya ko!" bulalas ni Marian. "Kasi hindi ko rin ine-expect. Kasi hindi pa ako nagko-cover, ‘tapos naging number one ako. Nakakagulat din at saka doon ko rin lalong nalaman na yung mga fans ko at nagmamahal sa akin, sobrang mahal na mahal ako at wala silang sawa sa pagboto sa akin."

Inamin ni Allan na kahit noong nasa afternoon soaps pa lang ng TAPE Inc. si Marian ay ilang beses na rin silang nag-usap ng manager ng young actress na si Popoy Caritativo kung paano, kailan, at ano ang dapat na isaalang-alang para matuloy ang pagku-cover ni Marian sa FHM. Hanggang ngayon, ongoing pa rin daw ang imbitasyon ng FHM kay Marian na mag-cover kung kailan siya magiging ready.

Ito naman ang naging tugon ni Marian sa imbitasyon ng FHM sa kanya: "Basta sa lahat ng bagay, ready ako. Pero yung pagpo-pose nang sobrang sexy, hindi pa namin napag-uusapan ng manager ko. At saka palagi kong sinasabi, may limitation pa rin. Kung maganda yung concept, bakit hindi? Pero may limitation pa rin.

"At saka, yun nga, may mga contracts akong inaalagaan sa mga commercials ko na hindi puwedeng ganito, hindi puwedeng ganoon. So, kailangan ko pa ring alagaan ang image ko as wholesome pa rin tayo."

Bea Alonzo's I Love BETTY LA FEA Full Trailer and Cast

The long wait is over! As the cast of the much-awaited Philippine version of the hit Colombian telenovela “Betty La Fea” was just revealed Monday night, at last!

To the tune of “Hey Betty You are Beautiful” by Mika, and introduced by Toni Gonzaga, here is the trailer of I Love Betty La Fea topbilled by Bea Alonzo.

The Cast:

Bea Alonzo as Betty is a smart yet unattractive girl, fresh out of college, who wants to prove her worth in the working world. After a lot of unsuccessful job applications, she lands a job at the Eco Moda fashion agency, where she encounters a lot of interesting and difficult characters who aren’t used to seeing anything - or anyone - unfashionable walking along their corridors.

Actress and style icon Ruffa Gutierrez will play Betty's nemesis Daniella, while comedian Vhong Navarro will play her best friend and officemate Nicolas.

Betty's family will be portrayed by Ai-Ai De Las Alas (Julia, her mother), Sam Concepcion (Andrew, her brother), and Ronaldo Valdez (Hermes, her father), while Marvin Yap (Bart) and Lloyd Zaragoza (Roman) play her neighbors.

The Eco Moda office will be staffed by Sheryn Regis (Kylie), Meryll Soriano (Rose), Krystel Moreno (Jen), Arlene Tolibas (Cely), CJ Jaravata (Rita), and Sammy Villaresis (Guard), while Daniella's office clique will be composed of Wendy Valdez (Patricia) and Megan Young (Marcela).

The Eco Moda team will be completed by Joem Bascon (Mario), Randolf Stamalacky (Randy), Ronnie Liang (Enrique), Jojo Alejar (Mac) and Thou Reyes (Hugo).

Since most of the scenes will be shot in an office setting, ABS-CBN decided to construct a full-scale office set just for the series: the Eco Moda office set is already under construction at one of the floors of the Eugenio Lopez Jr. Communications Center building in the ABS-CBN compound.

Story-wise, expect to see a lot of Filipino touches, although a lot of the original elements are being retained.

Only one character remains to be filled, and the producers are still keeping under wraps the identity of the actor who will play the apple of Betty's eyes. Will Bea finally be sharing kilig scenes with hot hunk Jon Avila, or will she test her on-screen chemistry with either Luis Manzano, Aga Muhlach, Piolo Pascual, or even Bea's reported new flame Jake Cuenca? Or will diehard fans get their wish granted to see their favorite love team reunited once again?

"I love Betty La Fea" will soon be shown on ABS-CBN's Primetime Bida.

June 28 - 29 TV Ratings: Pacquiao vs. Diaz Fight Ruled the Weekend Ratings Game

Pinoy boxing champ Manny Pacquiao proved that he is really the best pound-for-pound boxer in the world as he knocked out Mexican-American David Diaz in the ninth round during their match yesterday, June 29 (Philippine time).

Although slightly delayed, the television broadcast of their match in GMA-7, dubbed as Pacquiao vs. Diaz: Lethal Combination, was also a real knockout; generating a rating of an unbelievable 63.8 percent to rule the daytime race. The undercard matches, meanwhile, also posted a very high 46.4 percent to place second overall.

The rating of the Pacquiao-Diaz fight broke the record of the Pacquiao-Larios match, which was aired in ABS-CBN on July 2006, as the highest-rating Pacquiao match in MegaTAM. The Pacquiao-Larios rated 54.4 percent.

Pinoy Idol Extra greatly benefited from the high rating of the Pacquiao-Diaz match as it was able to post 20.2 percent rating to grab the third spot. The TV premiere of the blockbuster comedy film Pasukob, shown in ABS-CBN, followed at No. 4 with 16.4percent.

Showbiz Central took the No. 5 spot with 15 percent; followed by the making of My Monster Mom with 13.4 percent and The Buzz with 8.8 percent.

The primetime race was ruled once again by Mel & Joey with 26.3 percent. Occupying the second and third slots are All Star K (25.5 percent) and the elimination of Mae Flores on Pinoy Idol (25 percent).

Kap's Amazing Stories came in fourth while the second gala night of Pinoy Dream Academy completed the Top 5.

It was followed by perennial No. 1 Eat Bulaga! with 23.4 percent; Wish Ko Lang with 17.6 percent; Jungle TV with 16.1 percent; and That's My Doc with 16 percent to complete the Top 5.

The primetime race was ruled by Bitoy's Funniest Videos by virtue of its 31.1 percent rating; closely followed by Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho (30.5 percent), and the gala performance night of Pinoy Idol (30.1 percent).

Christina Aguilera

Not only is Christina more relaxed, but her new song "Save Me From Myself" shows that she is also becoming increasingly self-aware. Christina candidly admitted, "I think a lot of us can act as our own worst enemies at times, digging ruts for ourselves and making things out to be worse than they really are."

We all experience bad feelings at times, during which if we isolate ourselves can feel as if we're being sucked into a black hole. It is important to have loved ones and solid people to whom we can turn. Thankfully Christina has found the light in her hubby Jordan.

Come On Over Baby lyrics
Come On Over (Radio Edit) lyrics

When I was going through a dark time following my divorce a couple years ago (which resulted from my ex-wife cheating on me), I happened to see an article about Christina on a Rolling Stone magazine. It talked about her brutal break-up with her first boyfriend who proved to be quite the player. Some friends helped Christina through it by taking her into the kitchen of a restaurant where they told her to break some champagne glasses and release her anger. As Christina broke the champagne glasses she felt somewhat of an emotional breakthrough. It was this article that inspired my new book "Breakthrough for a Broken Heart."

Elle Magazine with Gwen Stefani

Platinum pop star Gwen Stefani talks about her hit addiction, yodeling fantasies, and how she kicked her Madonna habit. Now she prepares to conquer the world, with baby in tow.

You know the story: Blonde Italian-American pop diva, music video emience, and all-round material girl marries a Brit artiste and moves to England. The relationship hits some bumps along the way, but a baby boy ensues and celebrity life keeps rolling. “It is weird that we have all these similarities,” Gwen Stefani allows as she nestles on a couch in one of the many rooms her entourage has taken in London’s Landmark hotel in mid-November. With a voice that hovers somewhere between sultry and Kewpie doll, the singer has a knack for sounding about seven years old: “Madonna’s had us over to dinner and stuff, and she’s always been very nice to me.”

Christina's "Fighter" song was a personal favorite of mine as I bounced back from my personal setback. Today like Christina I have stepped back into the light and found the love of my life. Whereas Christina used music throughout her life to escape the abuse, I have found writing to be therapeutic and healing. Settled in security is a wonderful place to be emotionally and relationally.
