Pastor Terry Jones plans on Quran-burning on 9/11 Anniversary
This pastor from Florida must have gone nuts. He is planning a Quran-burning session on the anniversary of 9/11 as a symbol “geared towards radical Islam”. Say what??? And what does he represent? “Radical Christianity?”
General David Petraeus condemned the plan of Pastor Terry Jones and even Secretary of State Hillary Clinton voiced out saying, “the pastor’s decision is “regrettable” and that “it will have potentially great harm.”
But the Rev. Terry Jones won’t budge.
“As of right now, we feel that this message is that important. We are still determined to do it, yes,” he told “Early Show” co-anchor Harry Smith.
I swear, sometimes I don’t know if religion is bringing anything to the table in terms of peace. I wonder if Rev. Terry Jones know what Christianity is all about?
Vice Ganda defends Kris Aquino on rumors regarding Makati Mayor Jun Jun Binay
Ipinagtanggol ni Vice Ganda si Kris Aquino mula sa mga maling paratang na nakita umano ang Queen of All Media na nakipag-date diumano kay Makati Mayor Junjun Binay noong Lunes. Ani Vice Ganda, accidental lang daw ang pagkikita nina Kris at Mayor Junjun noong Lunes sa isang mall. Ayon kay Vice, silang dalawa ni Kris ang magkasama noong araw na iyon at hindi nila inasahang makikita nila ni Mayor Junjun. “Nag-movie date kami ni Ms. Kris tapos after naming manood ng In Your Eyes, uwi na kami kasi gabi na ‘yon, eh,” kuwento ng Showtime judge. “Kasama rin namin ‘yung mga bagets; sina Baby James at Joshua pero iba ‘yung pinanood nila. Tapos no’n, sabay-sabay kaming lumabas tapos naghihintay kami ng van. Pauwi na kami, sakto namang biglang dumating si Mayor Junjun Binay.”
Kapamilya stars gear up for the Star Magic Ball 2010
For three years now, the whole showbiz industry looks forward to the annual Star Magic Ball. It is the one big event that brings together the brightest stars of ABS-CBN’s talent management—and a few selected guest artists—in their most elegant dresses and suits for a night of glitz and glamor.
Artists look forward to this major event as it is a night where they get to reward themselves with an evening of pure fun with their closest friends in the industry. Pokwang is attending this year with her daughter Mae Subong. On Pokwang’s Twitter account, she expressed her daughter’s excitement for the event, “Eto na!!! Excited ang anak ko sa Star Magic Ball!! Hahahahahaaa buti pa siya nakapag-sukat na ng gown ako wala pa!”
If it exists, there’s money in it. Imagine this…
I was just talking with my co-worker who has this great idea in his mind and trying to find his way to patenting the idea and creating a prototype of the product. He pitched the idea to me and I thought, hmmm… there’s potential in it. I did advise him to check the patent website to make sure that it doesn’t already exist. Unfortunately, someone had already thought of it and has been patented since 2001. Shucks. Out of frustration, he went to the store to get a lottery ticket only to find out that the jackpot was hit. It’s like getting kicked in the balls while you’re down.
Jared Leto shirtless and with a new frosted hairdo.. PHOTOS.
I have never seen a guy transform so much. Jared Leto keeps re-inventing himself, gaining weight once for a movie and donning pink mohawks for his band… now – - frosted locks? I actually love it. Shirtless and obviously skinny, Jared Leto poses with photographer Terry Richardson with his clothes off and the new do.

When and where is Redbull Flugtag in Philadelphia?
I will be away this weekend and if I wasn’t, where will you find me? At the Redbull Flugtag in Philadelphia. I haven’t seen one in person and this would have been the best time to see one.
Red Bull Flugtag Philadelphia
Red Bull Flugtag comes to Philadelphia on Labor Day.
Event Location: Camden Waterfront, Event date: September 4
Gates open: 11:00 am, first flight: 1:00 pm, the last flight: 3:30 pm
Tolerance for Red Bull Flugtag in Philadelphia for free.
Red Bull Flugtag is a challenge for home-made aircraft. The pilots are trying to get airborne on a platform 30 feet. If all goes according to plan, the car flies into the air. If something goes wrong, the pilot gets his car in the water below the platform.
All types of aircraft will be shown, from flying in a Winnebago with wings. There was no Red Bull Flugtag in the U.S. last year, so 2010 Flugtag eagerly awaited thousands of curious visitors. This is the first time that Red Bull Flugtag is coming to Philadelphia.
Record U.S. long-distance 155 feet to fly banjo. Recorded at the Red Bull Flugtag Nashville three years ago.
Ryan Reynolds in a new film Buried will leave you gasping for air.. literally.
This preview alone is too terrifying for me, I don’t know what I would do if I was in Ryan Reynold‘s place in his new thriller, Buried – coming out in theaters on September 29.

Lip Sync Contest – Bravo for Originality… (VIDEO)
I would commend the contestant for originality and delivery. Watch the vid – and you you would also probably say, WTF! I wish it had better footage but it didn’t matter after a while. Creepy Lip Sync… of I Will Always Love You!
Watch the video of the performance:
An incriminating Tweet? Paris Hilton’s Purse on Twitter looks like the one she was carrying when arrested.
Uh-oh. Here’s the buzz today. Remember Paris Hilton getting arrested in Las Vegas for alleged cocaine possession? And remember that Paris claimed that the purse isn’t hers and that it was borrowed? Although admitting that some of the items inside the purse was hers (credit cards and cash), she claims that the purse wasn’t hers.
Well, TMZ.com published a photo of Paris when she was arrested with the purse she was carrying that night. Hmmmm… apparently, she tweeted some time ago when she got a Chanel purse (inset) and the purse looks exactly like the one she was carrying the night of the arrest.
Chorva chorva!!!
Rob Lowe Looking Hot on the Cover of Men’s Fitness
A former member of the 80s Bratpack, Rob Lowe is now 46-years old and still looking his best. I watched him on Brothers & Sisters and whenever he’s shirtless, I just wonder what pill he’s taking or which surgeon he goes to.
Believe it or not, it’s all natural. Rob Lowe is a hunk of a god at 46 years old and still as sexy as I could remember him back then. He’s on the cover of Men’s Fitness and boy, he describes fitness best.
OMG They’re Naked! When Male Tennis Players are caught in the buff.
I expected this from celebrities. Well, I guess you can call Tennis Players celebrities as well. I just didn’t expect male tennis players to go and pose in the buff but they actually do.
I was in New York last weekend and the traffic was horrendous. I called my sister to find out why and was told that it is the start of the US Open. Whew! I was in charge of bringing the food to the party and it was a surprise birthday party. Imagine where my balls (pardon the pun) were while driving and not knowing whether I’ll make it to the party in time or not.
Anyway, the complete set is available at [!! omg blog !!] if you want to view them. JUST A BIG NOTE: SITE IS NSFW.
Pinay Celebrity Scandal Continues: The public awaits Angelica Panganiban’s move; Mrs. Martin Castro corrects Claudine Barretto’s story
Angelica Panganiban‘s silence is deafening.
Claudine Barretto has called Angelica a “traydor na kaibigan,” “isang daga na tago ng [sic] tago,” and somebody “[na] baka masunog pag pinag pray over.”
Repeatedly invoking ”lord” and “god,” while summoning ”karma” in both small and capital letters, Claudine has vowed, before Twitter, to bring Angelica to heel: “i’ll make sure you will never forget me and everything ive done for you!!!”
Alternating between sly putdowns of Angelica (“…if pakakasalan ka????”) and sweet missives to tweet mates (“tweethearts thank u…sana ma hug ko kayo…”), Claudine racks up 21 tweets within a period of 17 hours and 47 minutes.
And the Pinay Celebrity Scandal Continues: Claudine, Angelica, Gretchen: An unfortunate tale of intrigues, threats, and lawsuits drags in the names of three of showbiz’s most beautiful stars
Claudine Barretto drew first blood.
The volatile 31-year-old star, who has captured nearly every acting prize hereabouts, told PEP on August 25 that she was in the midst of choosing from among three lawyers, in her determined drive to haul actress Angelica Panganiban, 23 years old, to court.
Three days earlier, in Davao City, Claudine—wife to 37-year-old former action star Raymart Santiago and mother to their adopted daughter and biological son—had told Peoples Tonight entertainment editor Ian Fariñas that no one was getting in the way of her singular quest.
To get the point home, she said that no one could stop her—not even Raymart, her husband of four years, or Mr. M, also known as Johnny Manahan, her career mentor of 17 years.
Axl Rose of Guns N’ Roses leaves stage at Irish show after bottles and ‘unknown substances’ were thrown at him
Come on people. This is quite unfair for the artists who come to perform and get abused by people throwing bottles and the like to the performers.
If you remember, last month Tila Tequila suffered the same fate and resulted in cuts on her face after bottles were thrown from the crowd to the stage.
If I was a performer, I would be terrified. What if the security wasn’t enough to control the maddening crowd? What then?
And another iPad Rival Surfaces: Samsung reveals Galaxy Tab Android tablet
Give it a whirl. Apple thinks of innovative new products, excite the demand and put it to market. Result: Successful product.
Then, other companies rides off that tail and competes. That’s what I call free market.
With the reveal of the new slate product by Samsung called the Galaxy Tab, would it have enough to compete with Apple’s iPad? I think so. If so, would the price of the iPad drop to compete or will the price of the Galaxy Tab come out on par with the iPad.
The coolest thing? It has a VIDEO CAMERA!!!!!!!!!!
We have to wait and see.
Here are a few points about the Samsung Galaxy Tab (GT-P1000)

Michael Douglas – Stage 4 Throat Cancer
It’s always a sad thing whenever we hear the word “cancer” associated with anything. When I first heard the Michael Douglas has throat cancer, I was already saddened. I have known too many people who has had and have cancer. Many of them (thank GOD!!) survived it and are under remission now. Although a few of them succumbed to the disease as well.
Wow – Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino on DWTS and partner Karina Smirnoff??
When it rains, it pours. Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino and Snooki seems to be getting all the “reality TV” star power. Just imagine “The Situation” on DWTS (Dancing with the Stars). Wouldn’t that be awesome?
According to UsMagazine.com Dancing With the Stars Season 11 Celebrity were announced Wednesday on ABC’s Good Morning America. I will be rooting for Mike. He’s got strong ABS and dancing is definitely going to be easy for him, as long as he doesn’t have two left feet. 
Imagine him going head-to-head with Bristol Palin? Hmmmm…

And the list continues – New England Patriots’ Brandon Spikes Sex Video
Whatever possesses a person to create a sex video, I will never know. When one creates such a video, they must know that somehow – somewhere, it could leak to the media and to the public. With the internet readily available for anyone to upload stuff, a simple MPEG can go a long way.
According to reports, New England Patriots rookie Brandon Spikes has a sex video that was leaked and is being investigated by the NFL.
