Chuvahotness # 21 – Male Model Akihiro Sato
Brazilian-Japanese Model Akihiro Sato is a professional model in the Philippines and have become the most famous male model in the country in 2008.
I must tell you all, from visiting Brazil earlier this month I can say . . . “There’s more where he came from!” Haha! I don’t mean to say that Akihiro Satos are scattered all over Brazil but there are plenty of hot-looking guys there. Granted, Akihiro has the “IT FACTOR“ and that is why he was in the position that he was last year.
Kate (minus Jon) Plus 8 – TLC Confirms
Photo Credit: Getty Images
According to CNN.com’s entertainment website, TLC is letting go of Jon Gosselin and keeping Kate Gosselin in the famous reality show, Jon and Kate plus 8. The network confirmed on Tuesday that Jon will not be back on the show and that the show will be renamed Kate plus 8.
Since the highly publicized separation and divorce of Jon and Kate last June, the network believes that Kate’s presence is one that resonates more with their viewers and that “the new show will take a deeper focus on Kate’s role in the family and her journey as a single mother building the next chapter in her life”.
I am wondering how this new chemistry will work. The network did say that they will keep their “exclusive relationship” with Jon and that he will appear on future episodes although not on a “regular basis”.
Let’s see how it goes.
7.9 Magnitue Earthquake hits American Samoa
chuvachienes on News
What is going on?! I have friends in American Samoa who’s lived there for almost two decades. When I read the news all I could think of was, “What’s going on?!” The Philippines just suffered a major disaster with the flooding that resulted from typhoon Ondoy and now this?
I hope that my friends are okay and that a Tsunami is not imminent.
The news read:
A 7.9 magnitude earthquake struck off American Samoa on Wednesday, according to the US Geological Survey.
The epicenter of the quake was located 190 km southwest of the remote Pacific island. It struck at a depth of 33 km.
An earthquake of this magnitude is capable of causing a tsunami, although there were no immediate reports of this occurring.
A tsunami warning was issued for New Zealand and other small Pacific islands following the earthquake.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center, a branch of the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, issued the warning.
A tsunami watch was in effect for Hawaii, Papua New Guinea and other small Pacific islands.
The agency noted that its warning did not mean a tsunami had necessarily been generated by the quake. The warning was issued because a quake of this magnitude had the power to generate a destructive tsunami, it said.
In 2004, a quake in the Indian Ocean generated a powerful tsunami that killed tens of thousands people in Asia. – Source
What’s going on??!!! Los Angeles Times reports that no warning is necessary for the Pacific Coast of California, Oregon or Washington. Samoans were asked to move to higher grounds.
I hope that there are no casualties and that the damages are minimal.
First time ever: Spain’s First Daughters Photographed
It is quite unique. We know that for security purposes, celebrities or high-profile individuals usually shield their children from the media. Michael Jackson’s children were never exposed until after his death. Needless to say, it is for the best interest of the children that this is usually done.
In the case of the Prime Minister of Spain’s children, it was a different story. Prime Minister Jose Luiz Rodriguez Zapatero’s children have been protected by the Spanish media. They were never photographed in public. But when the family was visiting New York to meet with the Obama’s – a photograph taken of the family (including daughter Laura, 16 and Alba, 13) would have been the ultimate family portrait. Imagine a family photo opp with the Obamas? Little did the Prime Minister know that pictures taken are uploaded to the State Department’s Flickr page.
The photos were immediately published in front pages of newspapers in Spain and this was the first time that the girls were seen in photographs. The thing of it is, the girls were dressed in calf-high black boots and what seemed to be labeled as “goth clothing”. The Spanish Prime Minister requested that the photos not be published but it was a little too late.
You can see the photo through this link.

I don’t usually stay up late during the weeknights but on weekends, I would stay up just because I want to extend my weekend… haha! This past weekend’s premiere of SNL (Saturday Night Live) was really good specially with Megan Fox as guest.
However, there was an incident where Jenny Slate “accidentally” dropped the F-bomb and you could even see in her face that she realized what she did…

Photo Credit: E-Online.com
According to E-Online:
The only new track to appear on her forthcoming compilation, The Singles Collection, the fun-with-numbers song—which debuted this morning on New York’s Z100—features such thought-provoking lyrics as “everybody loves counting,” “come out and play,” and, oh yes, the ad nauseam repetition of “1, 2, 3.”
What do you think?
UPDATE: Listen to “3?, HERE.
Above is the official cover art for Britney Spears’ “3?.

Gerald Anderson is not expecting an acting award for Tayong Dalawa
Photo Credit: ABS-CBN.com
Gerald Anderson has definitely gone a long way since his days as a housemate of Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition three years ago. After doing teleseryes and movies, the Fil-American cutie from General Santos City is now hailed as one of the ‘Princes of Primetime television.’ Gerald earned rave reviews for his portrayal of man in uniform David ‘JR’ Garcia Jr. in the top rating teleserye Tayong Dalawa. ABS-CBN.com spoke with Gerald during the farewell party for the teleserye last September 25 where he thanked all the viewers who made Tayong Dalawa a big success. “Sobrang nagpapasalamat po kami sa lahat ng mga loyal viewers dahil kung hindi sa inyo hindi magiging number one ang Tayong Dalawa. Thank you for continuously supporting the show at kami rin po. Mas nai-inspire kaming lahat na pagbutihin ‘yung ginagawa namin.”
The 20-year-old actor shed his boy-next-door image to play a more mature role in Tayong Dalawa. The move may be considered a big risk for young star like him, but with enough hard work and determination, Gerald’s gamble paid off as fans and critics are now calling him a ‘certified actor’ because of Tayong Dalawa. “Napakasarap na makarinig ng ganun. Dugo’t pawis din naman ang ibinigay ko dito sa Tayong Dalawa. Ang sarap ng feeling na finally kino-consider kang ganap na actor.” During the said farewell party, Gerald also earned acclaims from his Tayong Dalawa directors Ruel Bayani and Trina Dayrit and Business Unit Head Deo Endrinal.
As early as now, there are those who are predicting that Tayong Dalawa may bring Gerald his very first acting award. However, the young actor’s mind is not fixed solely on snatching a trophy. “Hindi natin masasabi kung magkaka-award nga ako. Hindi naman ako nage-expect. Basta ang importante sa akin nagagawa ko nang mahusay ‘yung trabaho ko and magandang lumalabas ‘yung project masaya na ako.”
Gerald also told ABS-CBN.com that he will surely miss playing JR Garcia. He said he hopes he get to do another character similar to JR or a teleserye in the same drama caliber as Tayong Dalawa. “Nasa puso ko na si JR forever. Playing the character is something I will miss very much. Wish ko nga sa susunod kong role ‘yung hindi malalayo sa character ni JR o sa theme ng Tayong Dalawa. Sana matured na role at mas challenging pa.”
If Gerald’s image and acting matured in Tayong Dalawa, has his relationship with leading lady and long time ka-love team Kim Chiu evolved too? Although the young man had been very vocal about his feelings for Kim, the two have yet to become officially an item. “Mas naging mature rin ‘yung relationship namin. Tulad pa rin ng dati, mag M.U. (mutual understanding) pa rin kami, ha ha ha! Hindi pa naman kami. Hindi natin alam kung kailan ba niya ako sasagutin, baka mamaya tingnan natin, ha ha ha! Hindi naman ako nagmamadali. Nakakasama ko naman siya araw araw so masaya pa rin.”

After the successful run of Tayong Dalawa, Coco Martin will soon be seen in the upcoming teleserye Nagsimula sa Puso as Maja Salvador’s leading man. Since it’s his first time to work with the talented young actress, Coco is discovering many good things about her, especially about her work ethics. “Natutuwa ako sa kanya kasi devoted siya sa trabaho niya. Malalim siyang katrabaho at malalim siyang tao. And then nakikita ko kasi ‘yungpagpupursige sa ginagawa niya.”

Cristine Reyes shares her rather traumatic ‘Typhoon Ondoy’ experience
Ilang oras ring na- stranded si Cristine Reyes sa ibabaw ng bubong ng kanilang bahay sa Provident Village, Marikina kasama ang ilan sa kanyang mga kapamilya, bago di umano masagip kahapon (September 27) ng madaling-araw ng kaibigan nitong si Richard Gutierrez lulan ng isang speed boat. Halos mangiyak-ngiyak si Cristine habang binabahagi ang tila kahabag-habag na naging sitwasyon nila ng kanyang pamilya sa kasagsagan ng Bagyong Ondoy na nanalanta di lamang ng kanilang bahay kundi kabuhayan ng libo-libo pang mga Pilipino sa buong bansa. Pagbabahagi niya, “ Nginig na nginig ako at basang-basa sa sobrang lakas ng hangin… Buti na lang kinaya. ”

Abalang-abala ang mga artista nitong weekend, kabilang na rito si Dingdong Dantes. Sa kalagitnaan ng hagupit ng bagyong si Ondoy noong Sabado, ika-26 ng Setyembre, halos hindi maistorbo ang lead star ng Stairway to Heaven dahil sa pangangalap nito ng relief goods at anumang tulong na puwedeng maipamahagi ng Yes Pinoy Foundation, na inilunsad niya nitong nakaraang buwan.
Gamit ang social networking site na Facebook, nag-usap-usap ang mga malalapit na kaibigan ng aktor para makabuo ng isang grupo ng volunteers na magbibigay ng donations sa mga nasalantang lugar.
TNS National TV Ratings (Sept. 25-28): Tayong Dalawa ends on top, Lovers In Paris opens modestly
It’s a sad but happy farewell for ABS-CBN’s powerhouse drama series Tayong Dalawa, which was topbilled by Gerald Anderson, Kim Chiu, and Jake Cuenca. After its eight-month run, Tayong Dalawa bid farewell last Friday, September 25, with a very strong 45.8 percent to lead all primetime programs.
This is according to the latest overnight ratings of Taylor Nelson Sofres (TNS) among national households.
Tayong Dalawa was replaced by the Pinoy adaptation of the hit Koreanovela Lovers In Paris, starring Piolo Pascual and KC Concepcion. Its pilot episode generated a 27.4 percent rating to take the fourth slot in the primetime race, behind fellow Kapamilya programs TV Patrol World (35.7 percent), May Bukas Pa (31.8 percent), and Katorse (30.3 percent).
Official Statement of Jacque Bermejo on her alleged Facebook comment posted by P2BPinoy
A comment was left on my post regarding the “alleged insensitive comment” made by a certain Jackie (Jacque) Bermejo. The story is so unreal that one may guess that it is definitely a hoax or a hacked account. I apologize for being too quick to judge as well because I was one of the people angered by the comment but it surely can be a work of a hacker and an insensitive one at that. There are many hoax Twitter and Facebook accounts now that are popping up just so that it can ruffle the feathers of the patriotic Filipinos all over the world.
Here’s the “alleged” official statement published by p2bpinoy which was said to have been received through email.
Subject: Official Statement from Jacque Bermejo… please pass this on to fellow Filipinos
Here is the official statement from Jacque Bermejo.
Gerald Anderson Photos Helping Neighbors During the Flood
When tragedy strikes, real heros come out of the woodwork. Gerald Anderson showed a lot of courage and true spirit in these photos that proved he is one genuine person with a big heart.
He is getting much media praise because of these pictures captured of him trying to help his neighbors and risking his own life to do so. We need more of him! We love you Gerald!

Kookiberks and our fellow Kababayans should be proud. KC Concepcion in action helping people in need during the Relief Operations for those that were affected by the disastrous typhoon, Ondoy.
There are many celebrities offering their help and providing hands-on help just like this KC. Gerald Anderson looks much much cuter now after a photo of Gerald spread over the internet like wildfire when he risked his own safety to make sure that his neighbors are okay.
KC Concepcion, Gerald Anderson and many other celebs are showing the true spirit of bayanihan in this time of desperate need. BRAVO!!
Kim Chiu and Gerald Anderson to team up in a movie and a teleserye
Photo Credit: ABS-CBN.com
Overwhelmed pa rin sina Kim Chiu at Gerald Anderson kahapon sa The Buzz dahil sa matagumpay ng teleseryeng Tayong Dalawa na nagtapos noong Biyernes, Setyembre 25. Sumagot din si Kim sa maraming fans at manonood ng nasabing teleserye na nadismaya dahil namatay ang kanyang character na si Audrey. “Nung una ko nga pong nalaman na andami nga pong nag-email, andaming nag-react, andami kong natanggap na text messages (dahil) pati sila mahal nila si Audrey,” simula ni Kim. “Sabi ko hindi naman ‘yun tungkol (lang) sa akin. ‘Yung Tayong Dalawa, kuwento ng pamilya. Hindi lang ‘yan tungkol kay Kim o kay Audrey.”
Malaki ang pagpapasalamat ng tsinita actress dahil sa nakalululang pagtanggap sa kanilang proyekto at inamin niya na kahit siya ay naiyak nang mapanood ang mga huling episode kahit na alam na niya ang takbo ng storya.
Umani rin ng malaking papuri sina Kim at Gerald dahil napansin na ang kanilang husay sa pag-arte. Pag-amin naman ni Gerald, talagang pinagbutihan niya ang kanyang pag-arte dahil aniya, “I think it’s time talaga para ipakita ang talent namin. I just really wanted to do Tayong Dalawa really really good and (to be) the best I could, so binigay kong lahat.” Dagdag pa niya, nag-ensayo talaga siya maging mahusay ang pagsasalita ng Tagalog at mahirap man ang role niyang David Garcia Jr., ay ibinigay niya nang todo ang acting.
Kinulit rin ang dalawa sa The Buzz kung ano na ang estado ng kanilang relasyon. Naging consistent sa pagsasabi si Gerald na si Kim ang pinaka-espesyal na babae sa puso niya bukod sa kanyang nanay. “Napaka-special ni Kim para sa akin, sobrang iba na po ‘yung nararamdaman ko for her,” ani Gerald.
For her part, sinabi ni Kim na bukod kay Gerald, wala nang iba pang nagte-text pa sa kanya on a romantic level. Nang tanungin siya kung anong sweetest text message na ipinadala sa kanya ni Gerald most recently, ang sagot ni Kim, “Sabi niya (Gerald) kahit magkahiwalay na kami, sana magkita pa rin kami at sana may communication pa rin kami.”
Nilinaw ng host na si Kris Aquino na hindi pa magkakahiwalay ang dalawa dahil magtatambal sila sa isang pelikula. Sinabi rin ni Kris na natakda silang gumawa ng teleserye at magsisimula ang taping sa Nobyembre. Gaganap bilang mag-ina sina Kris at Kim at si Gerald ang love interest ng young actress.

Sa phone patch interview kay Batangas Governor Vilma Santos kahapon sa The Buzz, sinabi ng Batangas governor an magkahalong lungkot at saya ang nararamdaman niya at mga kasamahan para sa pelikulang In My Life dahil sa matagumpay man ang premiere night nila sa Estados Unidos, sumabay naman ang malungkot na trahedyang idinulot ng bagyong Ondoy sa Pilipinas.
Nang makapanayam si Ate Vi ng tatlong host ng The Buzz kahapon na sina Boy Abunda, Kris Aquino at Ruffa Gutierrez, sinabi ng actress-politician na kadarating pa lang nila sa San Francisco, USA. “Katatapos ng premiere night sa Los Angeles, kaya nga mixed emotions kami lahat dito. Very very successful sobra ang premiere night namin sa Los Angeles pero the night before, lahat kami mabababa ang emotions kasi nga nung mabalitaan namin ang nangyari sa Pilipinas,” ani Ate Vi. Dagdag pa niya, kahit ang ibang staff members ng pelikulang In My Life ay apektado kagaya na lamang ng Star Cinema managing director na si Malou N. Santos na lubog ang bahay, gayundin ang kanila umanong director. Isa rin umanong staff nila ang may nawawalang mahal sa buhay at umaasa na natagpuan na.
Samantala, sa Oktubre 8 pa ang pagbabalik ni Ate Vi sa bansa subalit patuloy pa rin ang kanyang pagtatrabaho bilang gobernador ng Batangas dahil patuloy ang koordinasyon niya sa kanyang constituents. “Tuluy-tuloy naman ang coordination ko sa kanila at 24 hours kaming nagkakaroon ng reporting. Inaasikaso ang pagbibigay ng relief goods at gamot. And then after that lilibot ang apat na team sa apat na distrito para makita ang damage,” ani Ate Vi.

Tuloy na tuloy ang premiere episode ng Filipino adaptation ng Lovers In Paris (LIP) ngayong gabi pagkatapos ng May Bukas Pa. Pinapangunahan ni Piolo Pascual, KC Concepcion at Zanjoe Marudo, sinabi ng anak ng Megastar na umaasa siyang sana kahit paano ay magdulot ng kasiyahan ang kanilang teleserye sa mga tao sa kabila ng naidulot ng bagyong Ondoy. “Isa ito sa mga relief goods namin, sana maging isa siya sa mga bagay na makakapagpasaya sa mga tao sa gitna ng lahat,” sambit ni KC.On a personal level, excited si KC sa paglabas ng kanyang first-ever teleserye subalit inamin niyang ninenerbyos silang lahat sa LIP. Sinimulan kasi nilang gawin ang teleserye noong Pebrero ng kasalukuyang taon at finally ay maipapalabas na ito.
“Jackie Bermejo” “Jacque Bermejo” – A *itch by any other name is still a *itch!
chuvachienes on Featured, News
Filipinos, Non-Filipinos, Pinoy Celebrities and even Hollywood Celebrities are pulling together to help the victims of Ondoy. The Barrio Siete Bayanihan fund just crossed over the $1,000 dollar (PhP 57K) mark. We are all devastated with the news and many are still homeless. We heard of Gerald Anderson braving the flood to help and we read about KC Concepcion helping out as well.
Howcome there are still insensitive people out there then? Have you heard the Case of Jackie Bermejo? Nakita ninyo na ba ang Facebook comment nitong Ms. Bermejo na ito? She claims that her account was hacked and that she didn’t personally put the comment there.
Many Filipinos are outraged by the insensitive comment that she made on her Facebook Account. It didn’t take that long for the flurry of angry Filipinos to lambast her about her insensitivity. Her comment?
buti n lng am hir in dubai! maybe so manny sinners bak der! yeah deserving wat hapend.
A Facebook Group was set up to let this individual know that Pinoys were not happy about her stupid comment. Her multiply account is now filled with counter messages from Pinoys all over the globe.
At hindi lang yon.. there’s also another picture of Mikey Arroyo buying liquor while the wrath of Ondoy is takes its disastrous toll. Ano ba? I think he just sealed his political future coffin and dug his political future grave so deep that there’s no saving it.
Gerald Anderson braves deep flood waters to check on neighbors
Photo Credit: PEP.ph
In the showbiz world, Gerald Anderson is a heartthrob, a hunky cover boy, and an actor with promising talent to boot. But to his neighbors he is just Gerald, the concerned boy who braved deep floodwaters caused by typhoon Ondoy to check if his neighbors were okay.
Now, if you happen to be a neighbor of Gerald Anderson looking out the window, you may think that the young man was acting out a rescue scene for a telenovela, ready to plunge down in the muddy waters and pull out the leading lady from the depths. But this is reality. There are no lights and cameras and leading ladies, only action and reaction in an unavoidable situation in which lives were at stake. Gerald had to calculate decisions and do what was right.

Senator Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan was one of the earliest politicians to bare to the public his plans for the 2010 elections. He’s also the earliest to announce plans to back out.
Last May, Pangilinan’s wife, Megastar Sharon Cuneta, said in an interview that her husband is seeking a vice-presidential seat. But last Sept. 20, the first senator to win an independent campaign announced in a statement that he’s stepping out of the race to support the campaign of presidential tandem Sen.

The Puma Index – The most exciting way to follow the Market
Photo Credit: Puma Index
Ha! And you thought finance and economics is boring. Not anymore.
Puma has a new index that will track the stock market for you and instead of simply watching tickers and symbols, this one will display a man or a woman (of your choosing) lose pieces of clothing when the market goes down. If they market completely collapses (we hope not) the guy or girl will lose all of their clothing down to their Puma TM Bodywear.
The welcome message goes:
The Puma Index is a global stock ticker with a twist. When the market goes down, our model’s clothes come off – right down to their Puma Bodywear. At least when you lose your shirt, at least they do too!
One thing for sure, the GUY is cute! And while the market is closed, he sleeps… fun huh?!

Nitong tanghali, isa si Kris Aquino sa mga nanguna sa pangangalap ng donasyon para sa ABS-CBN Foundation. At habang abala siya sa pagbibigay ng update sa ASAP ‘09, binanggit naman sa SOP ng executive vice president ng GMA Kapuso Foundation na si Mel Tiangco, na nag-pledge din ng amount sa kanya ang TV host-actress.

Nailigtas rin ang mga kasama ni Cristine sa bubong dahil sabay sa pagdating ni Richard ang mga taong hiningan ng aktres ng saklolo.
Nanghiram si Richard ng speedboat mula sa kanyang kaibigan para mapuntahan si Cristine, na panay daw ang tawag nito para tulungan siya at ang mga kasama niya.

The Biggest Party of the Year is here!
Well, mga ka-chika! This is it. Another year is almost over and the fact is, the Butse Gang haven’t had much parties this year. Haller! Recession kaya! Haha! Kaya naman, we opted to do the minimal things lang to get together and have fun. The group gets together every second Friday of the month for the Jaded Lounge event hosted by ASIAC here in Philadelphia. It’s for a good cause and friends get the chance to get together and slip away from their very busy schedules.
The last big thing that the Butse Gang did was camping at a gay camp somewhere in Pennsylvania. I cannot remember the name of the camp… mashonda na me… LOL.
Anyway – - highway, tonight will be the biggest event ever. One of the Butse Gang members will turn the big *O. Haha – hindi puedeng i-reveal ang age.. baka ma-ban ako sa party.
Kahit na mga pariwara ang Butse Gang, mababait din yang mga yan. And we love parties. Kaya naman, the party tonight will be the biggest party we will have this year… ready na ang mga traje de boda at sabi nga ni Bryanboy, “It’s never too early for sequins!!” Hahaha.
I will be back to post pictures of the event.. kaya balik lang kayo mga ka-chika!
Watch the India vs. Pakistan Match via Live Stream Here
A match between the two countries is often equated with war. During the 2003 Cricket World Cup, an Australian cricket commentator, was quoted as saying on TV “there is always great interest in India and Pakistan for they have fought three wars.
There has been no war since 1971. So there is so much more excitement in this match”. A critic may dismiss it as a diabolic sense of humour and pardon the imaginative commentator but nevertheless it was not far from the truth.
