Woohoo! I think thing is for certain, the wedding planner industry seems to still be making money these days. I mean, my niece recently got married and all I know is that she spent a bundle. And we know that the engagement of Chelsea Clinton to long time beau Marc Mezvinsky is going to be filled with a guest list that would be filled with heads of state. Here’s what Chelsea had emailed her friends recently according to E-Online.com
“We’re sorry for the mass email but we wanted to wish everyone a belated Happy Thanksgiving!” the email read. “We also wanted to share that we are engaged! We didn't get married this past summer despite the stories to the contrary, but we are looking toward next summer and hope you all will be there to celebrate with us.”

Twlight’s New Moon – Rules and sets records.
We knew that due to the hype and the success of the first installment of this vampire series, the second installment Twilight: New Moon would top the box office. One thing we didn’t know however, is that it was going to set amazing records.
It set the record for the highest-grossing film during Thanksgiving weekend. It earned a record-breaking $66M during its 5-day weekend run. Just domestically, it has already earned upwards of $230M.
The other surprise is Sandra Bullock’s “The Blind Side” which earned $57M.
Could it be because of the werevolves?? Hahaha!
Tiger Woods issues an official statement via his website
The golf pro, Tiger Woods has finally issued a statement about the alleged cause of his facial injuries as well as injuries obtained during the car accident. He had to work quick to put a damage control on the rumors circulating the net about injuries cased by his wife due as reported by TMZ.com. It alleges that because of Tiger’s infidelity, he and his wife had a fight which caused the facial injuries he now suffers.
Here’s the official statement from his website:
“As you all know, I had a single-car accident earlier this week, and sustained some injuries. I have some cuts, bruising and right now I’m pretty sore.
This situation is my fault, and it’s obviously embarrassing to my family and me. I’m human and I’m not perfect. I will certainly make sure this doesn’t happen again.This is a private matter and I want to keep it that way. Although I understand there is curiosity, the many false, unfounded and malicious rumors that are currently circulating about my family and me are irresponsible.
The only person responsible for the accident is me. My wife, Elin, acted courageously when she saw I was hurt and in trouble. She was the first person to help me. Any other assertion is absolutely false.
This incident has been stressful and very difficult for Elin, our family and me. I appreciate all the concern and well wishes that we have received. But, I would also ask for some understanding that my family and I deserve some privacy no matter how intrusive some people can be.” – Source
I guess that’s the life of a celebrity. Allegations come out before you can prove your innocence.
Tiger Woods’ Facial lacerations not caused by car accident?
Whoah! Time flies when you’re having fun ay? Listen, Tiger Woods is a great golfer. He can command the golf ball every time. He wants it to go left, it goes left. Straight, straight. Right, right.
But people have to be weak somewhere. We have our strengths and our weaknesses right? TMZ.com reports that Tiger Woods’ lacerations on his face were not really from the car accident but rather from his wife because of an alleged affair with Rachel Uchitel.
Hmmmm… what is going on? There have already been comments on the website about a double-standard on domestic violence. If a man does this to a woman, he’d be hand-cuffed and questioned immediately. But when a woman does this to a man, “Sleeping, oh of course, we’ll be back later.”
Let’s find out as the story unfolds.
Claudine Barretto: “I’m really, really proud to be a Kapuso.”
Marami pa rin ang nagulat sa biglang paglipat ni Claudine Barretto sa Kapuso network. Ever since kasi, Claudine has always been a Kapamilya baby. In fact, she was considered the Star Magic Queen at isa sa maituturing na pioneers ng talent arm ng ABS-CBN.
Pero noong Miyerkules, November 25, kasama ni Claudine na nagtungo sa GMA-7 ang kanyang mga magulang.
“Masayang-masaya na ako ngayon ay kasama na sa pamilya ng Kapuso. Parang everything just fell into place. Parang lahat talaga, it's all God's will talaga. I'm really, really proud. Sincerely talaga with all my heart, I'm really, really proud to be a Kapuso.”
Mark Anthony Fernandez looks forward to making a movie with old flame Claudine Barretto
Natuwa si Mark Anthony Fernandez nang malamang isa na ring Kapuso ang dating karelasyon na si Claudine Barretto. Mas lalo siyang natuwa nang iparating sa kanyang gagawin na nila ang isang movie sa ilalim ng Viva Films at co-produced ng GMA Films.
Noong isang buwan pa raw siya sinabihan ng kanyang manager na si Dondon Monteverde tungkol sa film project na ito.
Katrina Halili on fight for justice: “Dasal pa rin at tapang ang kakampi ko.”
Maganda ang aura ni Katrina Halili nang bisitahin namin siya sa set ng Darna sa Bulacan. Bukod sa first taping niya iyon para sa top rating telefantasya ng GMA-7, lumabas noong November 20 ang decision ng Professional Regulation Commission na i-revoke ang lisensiya ni Hayden Kho Jr. bilang doctor.
Natuwa si Katrina dahil natupad ang isa sa mga pinagdarasal niya na mangyari. Panay nga raw ang pasalamat niya sa Diyos dahil hindi napunta sa wala ang kanyang pinaglaban sa taong ito.
Janet Jackson – Make Me – VIDEO
I saw a friend of mine from college. Gosh, it’s been that long?! We hung out, reminisce on good old memories – - the ones we could actually still remember. Ha!
Time does fly. When you look back, it doesn’t seem as if it’s been that long but those memories are the best. When you have memories like that, it can keep pupt a smile on your face even for only a moment.
I hope everyone’s having a great holiday weekend. Yes, one more day and we’re back to the same old again… but a break like this is good.
Here’s Janet Jackson’s video:

Chuvahotness # 23 – True Blood’s Ryan Kwanten
We were having our Thanksgiving dinner at a friend’s house in Pennsylvania and we got into talking about the hottest male stars in the industry today. As you all know (to those who follow my blog), I do have a Chuvahotness Series where I feature men with great bodies and great attitude about life in general. They seem to inspire most people and it’s adding quite a positive mix to my blog.
We’ve had 22 guys featured so far, the hottest right now being Taylor Lautner. At 17-years of age, this guy is the hottest guy in Hollywood if you ask me.
But then, one of my friends brought up True Blood’s Ryan Kwanten. I’ve heard of him but I haven’t really seen much of the show. He started to pull up photos of Ryan on his iPhone and boy, I was instantly amazed. So, as soon as I got home – I decided to search for Ryan Kwanten and he is one sexy dude. Finding and interview of him made it much more interesting because his Australian accent just heightens the sexiness factor for me.
Readers – I present to you – - Mr. Ryan Kwanten. Please go all the way to the bottom to watch his video interview. Happy Thanksgiving you all!

Ang pagpupuyat mula umaga hanggang tanghali kinabukasan na hindi ka nakakapag-pahinga, ‘yan napagdaanan ko ‘yan, ‘Yung hirap para lang masabi ko na alam ko ‘yung pakiramdam, ganu’n,” umpisa ni KC.

Nito lamang, nabalitaan ng SNN ang maluwag na pagpapahayag ni Fil-Am international singing sensation Apl De Ap—miyembro ng grupong Black Eyed Peas—ng kanyang lubos na paghanga sa panganay na anak ng Megastar Sharon Cuneta na si KC Concepcion; kaya naman kagabi, bago tuluyang lumipad si KC patungong Amerika’y malugod itong ipinaalam ng SNN sa dalaga. Pagkarinig pa lamang ng naturang balita, masasalamin ang lubos na pagkagulat sa mukha ni KC.

Reaksyon nga niya kaugnay nito, “Wow! Well, siyempre thank you, sobrang thank you. Sana ma-meet ko siya. I never met him before… Sayang paalis ako.”

Offensive Michelle Obama picture on Google Search causes stir
On the news is First Lady Michelle Obama‘s state dinner gown. The First Lady appeared stunning in the gold gown created by Naeem Khan (who was born in India) which was made in India as they hosted a state dinner for the Prime Minister of India.
In the meantime, it’s one thing to create satirical photos or cartoons but it’s another if a racist altered photo of a person is posted online.
According to Huffington Post, there was an offensive photo which was obviously an altered image of the First Lady Michelle Obama appearing as the first image with Mrs. Obama’s face transformed into a monkey face, when you search for “michelle obama photo”. Google has already removed one website that posted the photo since the website contains viruses and it is against Google’s Terms.
Piolo Pascual participates in 2009 Timex Run with a great finish.
“The older I get, the more I want to get into sports. It’s not just about extending your youth, but just being able to do more. Ang sarap ng feeling that you can carry yourself lightly, that you push yourself. I really want my first run to be memorable.”
This is how ultimate heartthrob Piolo Pascual envisioned his very first run to be all about. And true enough at the recently concluded 2009 Timex Run held last November 15, 2009 at the Bonifacio Grounds in Taguig City, the first-time runner had an exceptional sprinting experience as he surpassed all expectations when he outran thousands and ranked 23rd out 1024 10K runners during the celebrated running event. Piolo dashed to the winning finish with colleagues in the biz including Ricky Davao, Maricar Reyes, Tessa Prieto-Valdes, Eric Fructuoso, Mark Bautista, Maricel Laxa and many others.
