I’m happy she won again as governor of the province of Batangas, Philippines. I live in Manila, but Im originally from Batangas city. Up until this past election last May 10, 2010, I thought Governor Santos or as we fondly call her, Ate Vi, has not done anything visible …

Most folks know the name Andy Griffith, if only because of the successful television series that bore his name. It’s on somewhere, every day, and in many localities on more than one channel. Those not quite into the quaint family charm of The Andy Griffith Show probably …

I wish I could cook like the celebrity chef Jamie Oliver. He got his cooking skills from his parents who had a restaurant and I think he grew up in Essex or something. I used to watch his cooking shows and if you look closely at the way …

For eleven years, Roseanne Barr dominated the ABC airwaves with her half hour comedy/drama hit show, “Roseanne”. She got plenty of flack from critics for being a crude, loud mouth feminist; but with all that said, I think she was a cool actress when she was working.
I was just …

Eric Cantona was my hero when I was a kid. An intriguing Frenchman who had almost single handedly led Leeds United to the league title, before signing for Manchester United and doing exactly the same thing. He was a fans favourite and was quickly becoming the idol of the …

Matt Flynn as been the Green Bay Packers’ backup quarterback for about three years now and, up until recently, I really couldn’t write much about him because I only got a chance to see him play in very limited action.
However, after getting his first start against a talented New …

Steve Burton is better known as Jason Morgan to huge followers of “General Hospital” such as myself. Even though he has graced the small screen for two or three decades or so, he is embedded in my mind as Jason Morgan, the sexy and dangerous hit man on “General …

Oprah Winfrey has been around the barn more than once. Actually Oprah Winfrey has been around the barn probably a lot more than that. This woman grew up disadvantaged, poor and she claims that she was abused in more ways than one. What did Oprah Winfrey do with that? …

I see the Packers re-signed former Defensive End Jason Hunter (who will now play linebacker in their new scheme) to his restricted free agent tender. This was a fantastic move for the team.
OK, Hunter isn’t a guy who is going to be a defensive starter or anything and I’m …

Jennifer Lopez is a huge star that was originally a dancer that has turned into a prominent actress over the years. She is a very talented person and I think that she is one of the most under-rated and overlooked entertainers of the past few decades. I love …

I think that Urban Meyer is one of the best coaches in the game of College Football today. At the University of Florida, he has made the team into regular National Championship Contenders as he was won two national championships in his short tenure over there and his team, …

David Boreanaz is one of my most favourite actors. He has got that kind of energy and charisma that is truly unique to Hollywood stars. I would say that he has got what it takes to be a real star. He can be intense and deep, he can be …

Natalie White was a contestant on the 19th season of Survivor. Natalie made one key move throughout the game and that was aligning herself with Russel Hantz.

In my opinion, Randy Moss is the best wide receiver in the NFL. He can do everything you could ask a receiver. catch, block, run, and everything. He is probably a future Hall of Famer. He reset the NFL record for touchdown receptions in a single season with 23. …

When Gary Pallister signed for Manchester United from Middlesborough by Sir Alex Ferguson, the whole country had high hopes for this young central defender. Unfortunately the Manchester United side was still being rebuilt so whilst he had potential, he was being asked to slot in and make an immediate …

Witty, informative and full of humor. Those three words perfectly describe a contemporary Filipino author that goes by the name of Bob Ong. I have never let one of his books be published without me reading it, that much of a fan I am. He writes in a style …

Some time ago, the Minnesota Vikings swooped in and grabbed Brad Childress as their head coach before the Green Bay Packers had an opportunity to even interview him. They thought it was a great move. I didn’t.
And, recently, on the verge of his second playoff appearance in two years, …

There is absolutely no doubt that Jack Nicholson is one of the best actors in Hollywood. His characters and then the reasons are not to be replicated or compared to anyone else. His trademark if he is great ability to bring sarcasm, humor, and a very unique brand …

I have done a lot of studying on Abraham Lincoln and his time as president. I believe that he was one of if not the best president in history. He was elected to two terms as president as a republican. He was president during one of …

David cook is the new american idol. And indeed this title is really suitable for him. Although american idol is a famous reality show in the whole world. But I’m not really fond of watching this show maybe because of the time schedule. Since I’m a music …

This man has been facing criticisms since he heads the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) - one of the controversial government agencies in the Philippines. This agency has been acquiring tremendous assets and employees within are receiving huge monthly salaries and fat bonuses whenever …

Mick Jagger was the leader of the rolling stones band and to be very honest this guy was a complete joke and only was famous because he had a shot and a chance at it not because he earned it. His songs were always horrible and he has always …

When I think about the epitome of a heartthrob, I immediately envision Ethan Hawke. I like Ethan Hawke as an actor because he has this tortured bad boy thing going on, and for some of his roles, those qualities carries over to his characters which makes him even more …

Cheryl Miles is a singer from the band Cherry Chocolate Candy. This band is perhaps no more, which I’m not sure. And I heard that the band has been renamed since. Cheryl is a very gorgeous woman and I first watched her entering with her girlmates in …

The first time I was consciously aware of John De Lancie, he was just starting out on the soap opera Days of Our Lives. He played an insecure, loveable, kind nerd named Eugene Bradford. Eugene began as an odd character with a strange sort of fetish on …

The first time I was introduced to Stephenie Meyer’s work , it was through a movie preview of “Twilight” on television. I was in the other room when I overheard the dialogue in the preview. It intrigued me so much that I came out to see which …

I first had a glimpse of Dennis Trillo’s handsome face in a tv commercial. I then thought he really is so cute. Until one time gma7 included him in a drama show. And gosh!. he is so good for a new comer. He acts as if he’s been in …

Today I’m going to take a minute or two to talk about Jeremy Thompson, the soon to be retired linebacker for the Green Bay Packers.
Thompson only played in the league for a few years and isn’t a household name so most people probably don’t even know who he is. …

There has been countless rumors on the so called relationship between Rihanna and Chris Brown. Seriously, I don’t mind so much, because these 2 are great singers and it’s so evident in their songs; well, most of their songs, that is.
I started to fall in love with them when …

I was glad to hear former New York Jets Head Coach Eric Mangini is getting another chance with the Cleveland Browns.
Mangini didn’t make the playoffs this year but the Jets decision to fire him really made no sense in my opinion. In three seasons with New York, Mangini posted …

While I wouldn’t call Tilda Swinton one of my favourites, I have to say I’m quite fond of her as an actress as well as some of the characters that she plays. Chances are that if you’re not a film buff, you’ve probably never really heard her name, since …

I think that rich people really have nothing better to do. Or in other words, being a celebrity mom really has perks because magazines would rush to take pictures of your babies and write about your babies just because of the celebrity mom.
I am reviewing both Christina Aguilera and …

I had to laugh today when I read Oakland Raiders wide receiver Javon Walker is looking to be released from the team because he feels he isn’t getting enough playing time.
Honestly, when is he going to realize he isn’t that great of a receiver?
Walker was overrated when he was …

Bridget Moynahan is an actress and 36 years old. You might not know who she really is if you do not really follow closely to movies. She actually starts in Coyote Ugly and around last year, she gave birth to a cute baby boy. She claimed that …

The first time I saw Paul Walker was the the movie the Fast and the Furious. It was hard to dislike him in that role as he played a very handsome police officer.
So far from what I have seen of Paul he is very charismatic in movies and …

She is one of the most famous young stars in the world today especially in Hollywood and here in the Philippines, being a Filipina. I consider her one of the sweetest, more so.
The way I knew this girl basing on written …

Brian Roberts is one of my favorite Oriole Baseball players, he is a second baseman for the Orioles. He is a switch hitter which add value to his position on the team. He has spent his entire career with the Orioles organization. When he first started with …

Gerard Butler is one of my most favourite actors, if not the most favourite. I first fell in love with him in 2001 after seeing his performance in Dracula 2000. I have always loved vampire stories, but every movie has left me disappointed. In the movies the vampires were …

I grew up listening to the Jackson Five. My brother and I would even go so far as to dance on my mother’s dining room table while listening to their songs. Michael Jackson was the youngest brother of the five and he is the one that would become most …

It’s amazing to me how one with such a good reputation, that of a consummate professional, loving husband, and family man can take such a dive and so quickly, but indeed, that is what has happened to golfer Tiger Woods, who just today announced that he’s taking an indefinite …

Most of you might have heard about Arnold Schwarzenegger, he is most popularly known for his big muscles. He has won Mr. World title that is for the best body five times. He is the only person who has done it that many times, after his successful stint …

Russell Hantz was a contestant on Survivor Samoa and in my opinion is the best Survivor player in the nineteen seasons of the game. Why?
He didn’t come into the game a winner, at first I thought he was annoying. Hilarious though.
Short, stout and scheming it didn’t seem …

Rowan Atkinson, or better known as Mr Bean to many, is etched on my mind as the man with the goldfish eyes, slack face and disgusting habits. He comes across as really cheap and rather annoying; however he has provided endless hours of inane entertainment. I …

Victoria Wood is without doubt one of the UK’s most prolific comediennes, or at least was up until a few years ago and looks to be again soon. She’s also the most successful in the area, perhaps not having as many shows as the likes of Jennifer Saunders and …

The first time I had heard music by 50 Cent was when I heard his single In Da Club and I liked it. His other songs Candy Shop, and Just a Lil Bit were good too but I really knew very little about 50 Cent.
Then I started reading …

Actor, Wannabe Singer, Writer, Director, Producer, and perhaps more than anything, Master Manipulator of the Emotions. All of these describe the late, great Michael Landon, along with charming, cute, sensational smile, disarming laugh and giggle, good humor, and, well, the list goes on.
Michael Landon made a splash for …

I have to say from what I’ve seen about Perez Hilton in the media I really like the guy.
First of all he’s an entrepreneur. I’m not sure what he was doing before he started his blog but the career he has now, which is a pretty amazing career …

Another X-Factor ex-contestant, Ruth lorenzo is probably one of the more memorable talents from that show in recent years.
Of Spanish origin, she brought her latin roots to many of performances, either granting her songs a real latin flare, and even singing some songs in her mother tongue.
She was attractive, …
